My biggest problem in editing on mobile is changing a text selection (for example a long URL or long text paragraphs) that don't fit on screen at once. Once I have to scroll (vertically or, even worse, horizontally) in addition to movi

Apparently, I just did it the "correct" way, without even knowing my whole life. A problem that I have more often is that I cannot untie my shoes anymore. What happens is that during the day the loose end slips through the loop. S

Rolling shutter is quite nice and used in different scenarios to increase framerate. For example to extract sound from just a camera [1]. Additionally, while not directly related to the rolling shutter effect [2] uses a technique to increas

I got a (seemingly?) impossible problem: - roman numerals must multiply to 35 - my chess move is: Rf7+ - Atomic numbers of elements must add up to 200 So I need V, VII and Rf7+ in there but then the atomic numbers are way past 200 already.

I also had to figure out how to enter chess notation. As it turns out you have to add "x" after the piece if you want to capture or "+" suffix for check.

It just depends how you measure "closest". Similarly, Mount Everest is the highest mountain (above MSL), however Mauna Kea is higher if measured by prominance (starting from its base which is under water).

I also like to use ctrl+K to search from the address bar. It's nice because usually I use ctrl+L to type in the address bar and that's a similar shortcut for times when my search looks like a URL.

I'm on so many different machines (mostly some embedded stuff/RasPis that need linux) that I ignore all these bad defaults. The only thing I find unbearable is vimdiff colors, that have the SAME or very similar foreground and back

I used `protoc --encode` (and `--decode`) to do something similar. Didn't send it over HTTP but piped it to MQTT or serial ports. Unfortunately, those options are poorly documented, so it took me some time to figure that out.

"Differential flatness" is synonymous to "flatness". The concept is a bit comparable to inverse kinematics. With inverse kinematics you compute, e.g. the joint angles of a robot arm given its endeffector pose. While with

Flatness[1] based control is pretty neat. Basically, you can define a trajectory (that is differentiable n-times) and then calculate the state of the system from that. In this case, given the trajectory they could compute the speed, acceler

Confusingly, Fennec F-Droid is Fenix. In the description on the F-Droid page it says "Fennec F-Droid is based on the latest Firefox release (codenamed Fenix).".

I agree. I feel like there should be a lightweight way to use SSH certificates, so you could use it independently or on top of Tailscale. Like a server (CA), client and daemon on your machines that should be reachable via SSH that handles s

There are competitors in EU and US: Skydio and Parrot are the first I can think of, although their products cost more and aren't as consumer focused.

It is based on the Odroid N2+, which can definitely replace a Pi. I used some in the past and they are powerful alternatives. The only downside is worse software support (the official images have only older linux versions), but there are al
