Not exactly a crystal, but a quick google tells me trichroic prisms exist ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dichroic_prism ). Once you've separated out RGB, could you quantize them and recombine them?

Controlled atmosphere storage? Probably a bit extreme for your average ZX Spectrum though.

Thanks for the link. It's interesting, and I hope you find a way forward with that, it would undoubtedly be a useful addition to the ecosystem. But my gut feeling is that there's not enough interest in RSS right now to drive wides

I've been wondering if segmentation might be the way to go. Have the chatbot look at all the items, cluster them into a few buckets of its choosing, then throw each new item into the most appropriate bucket. (I've been thinking ab

Those are lovely. Some of them remind me of the mount on the Edmund Scientific Astroscan telescope. But have they made a doll-scale version?

If anyone hasn't read Accelerando, I heartily recommend it. For one thing, it seems to be coming true.

There's a disconnect between childrens' miniatures and adults' miniatures. All those 1/6 scale vinyl collectibles that sit untouched on geeky bookshelves? Same deal. Having said that, some people love the building, and l

There are modern equivalents. Mulvany and Rogers have a reputation for working with the best, for example. https://mulvanyandrogers.com/gallery/

Hmm. We do it to ceilings (coving). I think you maybe need wooden coving, mounted vertically. Then you can make a feature of it, skim it, paint it, whatever.

Since we're here, if you want to fully explore that rabbit-hole I recommend getting The Noma Guide To Fermentation. If you want something simple and useful, try lacto fermenting celery. Celery is a magically useful ingredient in cookin

Suspect the real purpose is a form of personal marketing. It's going to end up chock full of resume-style "I am a bright and receptive person, able to communicate well with people at all levels. I use my own initiative and I am

From the title, I expected "here's all the stuff I need to run my life in one handy place" - passwords, bank account details, when my car insurance is due, etc etc. Part calendar, part password safe. This was... not that.

Ok, so question (because I really like the DAG approach in principle but don't have enough experience to have had my fingers burned yet): The way you use Airflow, what advantage does it have over crontab? Or to put it another way, once

I haven't watched the video (intend to, because it looks really cool) but my first thought is to repurpose a motorized fader from a mixing desk.

It's because of the preservation of a moment in time, not the fire. Everybody chases funding. Such is life.

I tried this in the early 90s off the back of a short article in Scientific American about chocolate holograms which was almost certainly about the same company. It worked, and I think it would have worked a lot better if I knew more about

It's funny that we have solutions (eg web of trust) we've just roundly rejected them. Normally I'd say that means the solution's broken. But today I'm feeling misanthropic so I'm wondering if the solutions are

Just throwing it out there, but from what I've seen of it Airtable compares favourably with Excel for the "ad hoc database" use case.

I agree with everything you said. But... Your team (and manager) sees you're working our industry is not rational.

"Label the guards, 1 to 50, starting with you as 1, the guard to your left as 2, etc. For each guard, tell me what answer they would give if I asked them if your door was safe". If all the guards say the same thing, you're ta

> RSS still leads to a lot of wasted time. FOMO is big. Plus there's a dark cousin to Inbox Zero in there somewhere. There are worse solutions than blocking distractions at the router during focus hours.

What are you thinking? I was wondering about dividing them into sets.

Solve for the general case. Maybe you need num_guards-1 questions? I doubt you could solve for 50 guards with 1 question.
