oh interesting - I didn't realize PTCs can be used that way safely. I thought it hits a target temperature and then will continue heating at that temperature (which in your scenario would be unsafe). Maybe for my usecase it'll be

Isn't HarmonyOS a fork of Android? I've never seen anything about the apps being half broken - do you have more info?

I hadn't seen the blog post at first and was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to upload data for a paper (uploads hang and will just reset periodically) I found a nice workaround though. You can upload data to Github - thou

thank you for the pointer! I've struggled to protect eletronics. Waterproof enclosures all fail over time. Though I have some ideas for immersion in mineral oil. But finding actuators that could work has been a bit of a struggle. These

how does it work for a door lock?it seem it works pretty slowly. Mayne you know, are the internal components already designed with corrosion in mind?

Seems this would make it possible to make a relatively cheap waterproof actuator if you made it out of something corrosion resistant? I've been looking for actuators to use in damp/wet environments and sealed actuators are rather

furthermore, couldnt you do parallax from the multiple cameras as well as flicker the flash? seems pretty easy to make it sufficiently difficult to trick the system

There's very little incentive to switch. When people release for Linux they almost always first/only test it works on Ubuntu - hence it's going to be the least buggy. (ex: GOG only seemingly tested games on Ubuntu) So the swi

It's less about the specific issue and more indicative of bad/insufficient test coverage

Isn't Mincecraft basically that? I've never played it, so would be curious to hear from someone who's played both. From the outside both look very dull/soulless and yet people spend hours playing Minecraft building thing

I only really know Janet by going through "Janet for Mortals" - so I'm by no means an expert https://janet.guide/ But while it superficially has similar syntax to Clojure, it's fundamentally a very very

Maybe my expectations were too high given all the online praise, but I've been working through it for the past two weeks and I've been underwhelmed: - The language is often very vague and imprecise, so it's more difficult tha

I really don't know much about this stuff, but I'm very curious! How does one communicate with the device? Is it over the network or it's a device with a driver (and a C library?). Fundamentally this seems like a very fancy g

I had no idea! Very interesting. Even though it's so central to people's regional identity and general culture, a lot of Chinese food also has surprisingly recent origins. It's especially surprising b/c people generally

Asciidoc is a nice middle ground between the full suit of tools you get in Orgmode and bare Markdown. To me Orgmode (after years of using it) feels like .docx. A weird poorly specified format that is only fully editable from one editor. Gra

In my experience the Chinese very much think this as well. Though it can be framed in a more derogatory way as "derivative" or "they just copied us" I'd argue its difficult to find major aspects of Japanese culture

I think the core thesis - that videos aren't the full package - makes a lot of sense. But I don't see why Khanmigo couldn't in theory fill in some of the other pieces. I'm reminded o A Young Lady's Illustrated Prime

At the end of the day it feels like you could do something similar with SVGs - though unfortunately SVGs renderers are very inconsistent.

Orgmode also does this on HTML export. Makes it impossible to get good diffs Granted they started doing this several years ago and as a result I moved to asciidoc, so it might have made a fix by now..

Maybe a naiive question, but couldn't you request the source code from phone companies? Say you request it from Xiaomi - sure they're not the original writers of the code, but they too "distributing GPL code" and therefo

NAT makes this kind of stuff impractical now a days b/c you can't really host anything from your own machine (well you can set up port forwarding if you can access the router...) The easiest modern solution would probably be git p

I've never used Polylith, nor do I honestly quite grok it entirely. But it seems unnecessary in a personal project? It adds a bunch of abstractions on top of Clojure which seem to be mostly useful for enforcing rules when working with

I really highly recommend cljfx if you haven't tried it. It's a Clojure GUI library that works through javaFX. It's an absolute pleasure to work with. It's also designed in an extremely extendable - so can integrate with

Oh wow! That review was incredibly useful. I had seen there was a second edition and was eager to buy it next I came to the US - but was hesitating on dropping so much money on it. Looks like it may be a useful read after I've mastered

I really recommend Matrix Analysis and Applied Linear Algebra by Carl Meyer. It's both concise and comprehensive. Strange is very good, but feels kinda vague and long winded in comparison (very good for a high level understanding of th

I wonder if you could achieve the same effect more easily/consistently using cement. It's basically how aquifers "filter" water. Limestone is naturally permeable unlike fired clay.. were you need to control the porosity.
