On them. I absolutely would have no trouble finding / creating a space and the Twitter people are likely far more capable.

Yes, good will sometimes. Other times it may be all about giving someone a very strong incentive to play nice while they find a new gig. Sometimes people basically need it. These kinds of things are not always about the strict minimum cos

I saw all that. Still, was interesting. I just happened to explore this on an M1, so I had a shell that would do things this way.

The only trustworthy electronic counting of votes system is optical scan coupled with hand count audits to prove machine function statistically. The only trustworthy votes cast are those cast by people making marks that change physical medi

Well, I have a 2000 Honda that won't do it. And I had an 03 Kia that also won't do it.

I have always wanted to try that! I'm not going to try it on any car I own either. It is all just super high risk, and I just don't have a spare car laying around that has the beans to pull that off.

I was one of the test users. Found out I really don't care. 4K really doesn't enhance my viewing. Once in a while, something special might matter some. But this is far from the norm.

It's impressive to see / hear a good operator communicating right in the middle of a pile of noise. When I saw it done, it was with an older tube receiver, warmed up and stable, running a 100Hz crystal filter in tandem with a BFO

I did not know about this code. Just looked it up. Clever. Does anyone know why C/K are overloaded rather than something like Q/Z?

Nicknames. Seriously. I once knew a HAM that went by Gark in Morse because it was faster to key than Gary.

There is one subtle difference between automatic transmissions and manual ones and that is the manual one will allow a shift into a lower gear even when engine damage is likely. An automatic one will not, and will hold the current gear unti

There is a lot more to it than that. One could say that the world players wouldn't have it is the same, perimeter-wise rule-wise. But the people how the interacted what the Norms were and all of that other social human stuff is what we

That is an awesome story! OG influencer for sure. Thanks for sharing it I got kind of a big grin on my face right now thinking about that

Mine too, well mostly. My Grandmother worked through my mother to get that done without invoking other fairly painful, in the consuming too much time sense, family dynamics (Father was a mess and mostly out of this part of the picture.), b

In general, our collective zeal to judge one another is the cause of far more grief than the judging could ever have value.

Definitely a consideration. I saw the "clutch" comment above. Something useful can definitely be done. Perhaps both feet together can improve on what is likely a struggle to be useful at first. Driving comes to mind, and people

I had no idea... This is too cool and makes me want to build some hardware for use with feet!

[ This was a fun read and worth far more than the comment I'm about to place here ] There are times when I wonder whether we fail to spend enough time understanding one another. Failure in this generally creates many distractions and

Apple could supply those ROMS perhaps. They won't, but it seems a shame to ignore their own heritage. Now, from Apple's point of view? That's old news, and the future is more compelling. Totally get it. But it is stuff lik

Has anyone ever tried using something else, say a foot, to move a pointer? I have not tried any of these advanced text input schemes. I want to. Just thinking about this kind of thing led to my, "use a foot?" question.

This feels like a very significant, early time. Most of our future with robots is yet to come. The concern over weaponized robotics is as valid as it is growing in light of very rapid tech advancement. In our time right now, the line betwe

Nice! CAD and CAM, in some cases, really benefit from single thread performance. Parasolid, as an example, often needs to be run single threaded due to interdependencies in the data model and the geometry kernel itself. For a while now th

My own belief is there is one universe, it is cyclical, and just is. No beginning, no end, just cycles between states. There is no big bang. There is a minimum size state that could resemble a big bang.

When you have people who depend on you to provide, how you manage risk changes. A baby needs everything! Frankly, you CAN take time to improve your situation, and you will need to do that. Don't worry about being ready. Almost nobody
