Fjällräven is a very well-established Swedish brand that makes exactly this, and even have their own brand of wax. As far as I know, none of their products have any synthetic membranes. Here in Denmark, "Fjällräven" is a household

In my experience, the whole `PyO3`-project is a rare gem in language integrations since the developers appear to have an intricate understanding of the ecosystems on both side of the integration. The python parts are pythonic and the rust p

By the same token, standardized power outlets would be an affront to the free market and an impediment to progress. One example of progress on power outlets I know of is Denmark: Here the non-grounded plug has been compatible with Schuko ou

Have you looked into some of the "fantasy consoles," such as Pico8 [0] or TIC80 [1]? These emulate "8-bit machines" with graphics and sound, and are completely self-sufficient systems. Compared to real 8-bit machines, y

My favorite as an old-timer who is comfortable in most things from assembler to Mathematica has been "Programming Rust" from O'Reilly [0] The book does a really good job at explaining the thinking behind the abstractions avai

Completely agree. My childhood nightmare from maintaining my cheap commuter bike was the old crank-arm attachment system with wedges (or "cotters", I just learned [0]). I used a mallet to get them out, and with my low level of con

The "ocean fertilization" referred to here is not with nutrients, but with iron [0]. Apparently there are glacial runoffs at Greenland which would just need to be transported to other areas of the ocean in order to capture massive

With regard to security, it seems to me that the most obvious comparison for the ReMarkable would be a paper notepad which would also be compromised if you had physical access? Saying this as a former ReMarkable owner (and kickstarter backe

Just for context: I grew up in a small village in Denmark. My window to the world was one-hour bus trips to the nearest town which had a decent library, including some computer magazines. None of my peers did any programming, and since Denm

Yup, was thinking Anderson connectors as well -- I use one to power my trolling motor.

Have to upvote - just because Z80: I spend my youth programming this thing literally in hex: To program my Amstrad CPC646, I wrote down opcodes on a piece of paper and then manually translated to hex according to a copy of the Z80 spec shee

Well, sometimes at least: We moved from Asia (Singapore) to Europe, and while waiting for our movers to arrive, we checked the childrens bedroom in the new house against the dimensions of their beds _looked up on the European IKEA site_: Th

This looks very well done. In particular the web bookmark database is something I have been thinking about doing myself. One thing that I would do differently is how titles are handled. `nb` will store the title in front-matter metadata and

I totally agree that we need a standard -- but it is already here: markdown files with YAML frontmatter, github-style checkmarks and hash-tags. All synced via your favorite filesystem synchronizer. This is supported by the tool discussed h

Back in the 1990's when fractals were a big thing and computers were not very powerful, the go-to tool for exploring fractals was a highly optimized integer engine called `fractint`. In the final form it supported many types of fractal

In "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," Harari claims that human brain size has decreased since the agricultural revolution (which fits the whole downfall story of course). A bit of googling for backup reveals that things may

As posted elsewhere, the Danish government has almost no financial stake in Vestas. If they did want to make Vestas their champion, they could make Ørsted, a global leader in offshore wind in which the government has a majority stake, buy V

The `ndarray`-concept seems to have caught on across languages for data-analysis. I have happily used `rust-ndarray`[0] for building python extensions in rust. [0]: https://docs.rs/ndarray/latest/ndarray/

Yes, we will never need more than 12 quantum computers or so /s Computers today are used to solve the problems computers can solve: this is as vastly larger class of problems than envisioned by anyone 50 or 70 years ago, but there are

This is the same with PIN in Europe (at least for contactless): Below a certain amount you do not have to enter the PIN.

Since the current answers only consider albedo-tuning and mechanical CCS: Ocean fertilization[0] may be another solution to carbon capture. The idea is that iron is the main limiting factor to algae growth, so that adding iron to currently

At some point I saw a report on the actual numbers (was working in a big wind power company and a colleague was heading our research on this topic). One big take-away for me was that the number of bird fatalities due to windows in high-rise

Thank you for posting this: This also has the Danish real time data presented in a much cleaner way than the various web services of our local operators.

One tidbit on information damage that has stuck with me is that carcinogenic radiation damage is a second order process: to get a cancerous mutation you need both copies of DNA damaged, which would in most cases require two separate events.

Thanks for posting, this sounds super cool. Now I just really wished I had a reason to order a molten salt loop.

This appears to differ across Europe. I know for a fact (through living here) that Denmark and probably the rest of Scandinavia has property tax and inheritance tax -- holding on to family property is almost as expensive as buying new prope

From an engineering point of view, planes would be close to the bottom of the list of fossil fuel uses to transition to hydrogen/other "X-fuel" [0]. Still, my cynical part expects that we will see renewable-powered flight as

The surgeon who fixed my first knee injury advised me to do single legged squads if in any way possible: the balancing aspect is good for activating many small muscles around the knee, and the weight is high enough to maintain muscle mass
