Different levels of abstraction. TeXstudio is akin to an IDE for LaTeX, whereas LyX is more a nice frontend on top of LaTeX. IMO, if you're already experienced and happy with LaTeX there's no reason to switch, but if you don'

Hue has a local API, you can firewall them if you want and HA will still be able to talk to them over the LAN. You can also get a Zigbee dongle and control the bulbs directly if you want, Hue bulbs are Zigbee compliant.

Size wise I think even the commercial units they are planning have the core and associated support machinery at about that size, not including things like turbines etc that would be needed for a proper plant. It's been a while since I&

It's pretty compact, the whole reactor is about the size of a large house IIRC. Putting the whole core in a container and shipping it off is pointless, though- it's designed to operate for many decades and uses a continuous refuel

Right, it's a case of the whole is more than the sum of its parts. The philosophy of making things easy for beginners by automating things like setting up toolchains and managing libraries is a major feature, plus the Arduino libraries

You've always been able to do this via avrdude (which is also what this tool uses). The Arduino IDE at its heart is just package manager + a wrapper for various tools, specifically avr-gcc and avrdude for the AVR platform.

NumPy can work without libraries like BLAS or LAPACK, but it will be sloooooooooow. There are C versions of those libraries however, maybe they are using those?

I've done that using Home Assistant, it's pretty easy. Adjusting temperature isn't that important, but I'm really light sensitive and having a light slowly fade on in the morning is enough to wake me up gently. Many smar

I agree, it's really disjointed. It spends a long time on relatively easy stuff and not much time on the hard things, IMO. I also have trouble with the style and I think it goes too far with the sort of informal, conversational tone. U

I've always thought the fact that The Sims was fun was a masterwork of good game design. Especially early in its life when it had fewer of the more fantastical additions - it's a game that simulates normal life down to some pretty

That gets pretty fuzzy, though. For example, does ESP8266 refer to the actual chip itself (unlikely, at least in a hobbyist context) or one of the variety of modules? These general designations aren't really referring to specific parts
642.
by gh02t 8y ago
That depends on whether or not you define "day" as mean solar day or as 24 hours; either way you need some sort of ultimate reference in order actually define a meaningful unit. A more stable definition is as 60 SI seconds, since

In this context "pure" is meaningless (truly 100% pure silicon is impossible to obtain in quantity), whereas "ultra pure" is a technical term that refers to a specific level of purity. The meanings are context dependent.

Gas combusts pretty cleanly and doesn't release much. I personally wouldn't worry about particulates from cooking that much. Get an air purifier if you want, any decent one should be able to pull that stuff out of the air fairly q

by gh02t 8y ago
I dunno. I'm not really convinced that all particulates are automatically harmful at modest levels, at least not to a degree that is worth worrying about. The stuff that worries me are aerosolized modern pollutants- things like smog,

It might be possible if you find a hardware or software bug in the USB interface on the chip, but the Yubikey uses a chip designed specifically for security applications. Those sorts of chips are designed and tested explicitly for security

Not off the top of my head, but here's a tutorial on how to build one. The Plantower sensors are pretty easy to use. https://learn.adafruit.com/pm25-air-quality-sensor/overview

by gh02t 8y ago
I don't have any personally, but the Plantower sensors are pretty straightforward. They just use standard UART serial, you can use an Arduino or even a simple USB-to-serial adapter, the only catch is that it must use 3.3V power and log

Cooking with gas doesn't release much particulate matter, but it does release volatile organic compounds. Most of it seems to be from the food itself; if you can smell it then there's stuff in the air. Any cooking involving oil se

I recently built a sensor for particulate matter (using the Plantower PMS7003, a laser-based sensor) and it's interesting to look at the effects of every day tasks. Cooking for instance causes a huge spike in PM1.0/2.5/10.0 l

I mean, it doesn't have to be like that. There's plenty of profit to be made in offering a convenient product that makes your life easier without being evil, because if it makes your life easier then people inherently will want

They added it a while back but I think it was default disabled. If you go to settings in the Alexa app->notifications->shopping notifications, the toggle is in there.

> I think nVidia SHIELD offers a similar pitch, but I don't know how popular it is. The Shield itself has been fairly successful from what I know, especially if you consider its fairly high price compared to other Android TV boxes.

This is true and is probably why IA doesn't re-encode them. However, if you just want your own personal copy to re-watch them I don't think this is really that big of a problem. Ideally IA would keep the originals for archival pur

They aren't drivers, it's just the ability to generate CUDA kernels in Numba. It has nothing to do with Nvidia supporting it, they were not involved AFAIK.

Yes, but it can be difficult to figure out the best way to make said carefully optimized numpy operations for anything moderately complicated. It can also be difficult or impossible to avoid extra memory allocations in numpy. Sometimes it&#

True, which is why your battery needs to be large enough to supply power during your worst-case scenario for bad weather (or have back up systems like wind/thermal like you mention). You also definitely want a plan for cutting consumpt

I agree that high energy consumption is a problem, but this analysis is overly pessimistic because you're not factoring in the fact that the system is recharging during the day. As long as the average load is lower than your average po

Eh, you get used to it. I swap between a Kinesis Advantage, a compact with Reds, and a laptop keyboard, which are all about as different as possible and my typing speed and accuracy is about the same on all three. I actually score slightly
