Do you know in what way it was 'acoustic'? I.e. was it listening for sounds, or was it more like sonar?

When I heard Cameron speaking about this recently, I thought he was referring to two different materials being used, rather than the carbon fibre per se.

Ballast tanks don't work at these depths because of the extreme pressure, which is why all these deep sea vehicles are submersibles rather than submarines. In fact I think if a submarine goes below a certain depth then it can't a

It's funny you should bring up the shuttle, I don't know if you've seen the documentary on the challenger disaster? Yet another case of managers not heeding the concerns of engineers. Boeing max, theranos..

The majority of comments and people participating in a forum generally both have common sense and are good actors. It's the borderline cases that are difficult, and of course there are boundary pushers of all sorts persuasions. Some

I was just reading this week about someone trying to get their UHK keyboard to launch an application on Windows by producing a sequence of keys starting with the Windows key. They needed to put in a delay to get this to work, and it remind

I like this. I use vimwiki for my notes, but I'm struggling to get any sort of todo list working these days. For a while I had some scripts that converted my vimwiki files to html and saved them to Google drive, and it would also find

I think we have to stop chasing growth like this. It's destructive to many things.

It's a shame because of all the social media platforms, reddit is one of the best. There isn't so much grandstanding (I couldn't tell you a single username on reddit), and the ability to rapidly create special-interest subre

The number is deliberately close but not the same as pi/2. See here: https://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv017.c... And you can compare to wolfram alphas result.

The answer to Cos(1.57079632) (in radians) will give you a clue as to how your calculator does it. See here [0] [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/calculators/comments/126st95/cos157...

I've used the free42 (and newer plus42) app on my phone for nearly a decade now. In the UK, RPN calculators were pretty much not seen in the school place. We had Casios, Sharps, and those really into maths tended to get TI graphing c

That's a weird comment because botw seemed huge to me, and this uses the same map. Either way, picking it up today!

I think it's just a fashion, and when people realise they get less efficiency or space for the equivalent SUV they will re-consider saloon/estates/MPVs.

Ah ok, looks like I've been doing it wrong but that's great to know. Reading around on Nix, I'm starting to wonder if I should use a functional package manager for a functional language... One issue I've had with analysi

Yes, I came across a similar experience. My UHK keyboard has by default, movement mapped to ijkl. I remapped it to hjkl because I figured I'd find that easier, but it turns out there isn't a space in my brain for 'navigatin

Ah thanks. Wish I'd seen this before I embarked on things! I muddled my way through doing things like: nix-env -iA nixpkgs.rPackages.tidyr This seemed to work fine for things like R and Vim and some dependencies, but didn't work

I love that someone here knows a work around for this! Thank you, giving it a try now. I keep hearing about Nix, but I feel like it is something I don't and won't fundamentally get the concept of. I put it in a box along with t

I loved using termux to run bits of my R code in it. With git and my text editor/IDE, it actually felt pretty good. Sadly I can't seem to get R to work on it these days.

Gotta say I'm not especially impressed with my Google assistant on my pixel either. The hit rate makes it worthwhile only when I have to use it.

I really floundered when Ubuntu 10.04 got to end of life. My personal issue with Gnome 3 was that the way I worked involved one workspace with lots of open PDFs. Because they all looked similar on a thumbnail, I tended to use their filenam
