I've had that same one for a long time, and am pretty happy with it. But I would recommend shopping around and watching some reviews. Things may have changed. One thing to consider is the light. I was never happy with the light on t

I haven't. I'm pretty comfortable on my back, just can't seem to fall asleep.

I have sleep apnea and specifically asked my doctor if there was a best or better sleeping position, and she said no. I find laying on my back causes the least interference with the mask, but I've yet to manage to actually sleep on my

The article kinda glossed over how Sun got the trademark: "As a result of this partnership...". What does "this" refer to? Using the same syntax?

Sadly, today that often interprets to: someone bought (or just claims to have) the rights and now makes a living suing people for using it. If you plan to use it for anything serious, it's worth the effort to find something with an act

I'm surprised some of the C64s still work. I had to return mine (for exchange) many times. I remember seeing huge signs at the return counter that said "NO RETURNS ON COMMODORE EQUIPMENT". As a kid it didn't set off a

How do the algorithms from something like Dan Boulet's "Methods of Orbit Determination" hold up to modern methods? I have the book, never actually did anything with it though, but have recently been thinking about giving it

Lol, Windows search doesn't suck because of the filesystems it supports. I can only assume you're a Linux or Mac user who has never used the Windows menu before, as quite literally anyone who has seen it would not come to such a

The idea goes back further than that. It goes all the way back to when the CIA invented birds. The references in popular culture are documentaries.

Sadly, the tech savy of the news seems to be going the other direction IMHO. It might also be that "redirected" sounds like something went wrong and will get more clicks.

>But sorry if I have zero empathy for your clicking, loading and scrolling pain. Ok, so we just fundamentally disagree.

You notice you're running late, so jump up, and now you're early.

I think the point is that the lunations vary by a couple of days within a year, so you might confuse users by stating a phase is on the wrong day when they are unaware a low accuracy algorithm is being used. But that algorithm probably wou

I have a site with a lot of these stand alone "snippets" so that you don't have to include/port an entire astronomy library just to get the Sun rise/set times, etc. https://www.celestialprogramming.com&#

Ok, so it's not "keeping them in sync" as you stated in your first post, it's not a "leap second sneaking in" as in your second post. Now it is somehow data that is not labeled, and only becomes a problem duri

Generally if your victims are in a country, other (friendly) countries will arrest and extradite you if the crime is serious enough to justify the effort. There is no "world police" that forbid countries from prosecuting crimes c

So, you just need to set up a scheduled task to download the leap seconds file from the IERS once every six months?

Not sure about "most skilled", as there are some very good machinist with skills in different areas. I'd say he's definatley the most patient, learning and explaining ancient methods and every step along the way. And t

What experiments are those? I don't doubt if you lock someone in a room they'll lose sync with the sun, but people in society do rely on it. The fact that we use DST in the face of very vocal opposition shows a lot of people do

Why are you trying to sync systems that use leap seconds and ones that don't? It sounds like you've invented your own time system.

by gmiller123456 2y ago
Specifically when is not knowing UTC will skip a second six months later a problem for you? As I said, you don't know the interval between any two seconds on your clock, a sync or frequency change can happen at any time. And if you r

Does anyone have an actual example where leap seconds are a problem? Specifically one that can't be solved simply by using Atomic Time? Maybe then we can figure out what the problem we're trying to solve is. Few people or systems

I remember reading something where the author said the first project they implement when trying to learn a new language is to implement a hex editor. Said it ticked a lot of boxes as far file handling, GUI, text layout, memory management,

I was a bit surprised how much he emphasized how open the protocol was. I remember seeing you could mail in a form asking for the code. Part of the form asked why you wanted it, for which I said I wanted to learn the protocol used so I cou

The Vikings supposedly had a "sunstone" (cordierite crystal) that could help find the Sun through clouds or fog. I did buy a piece and wasn't able to get any good results, but my life didn't depend on it.

I actually often have dreams that I'm lying awake in bed. Sometimes I wake up and am in a different position, which is the only way I know it was a dream. I imagine there's a lot of times I think I really was lying awake when I

They used to tell us you could stand an egg on its end on the equinox because the Earth was standing straight up and down. It really wasn't part of class, just something people mentioned. I even remember seeing a short news story of k
