A friend of mine ran a small landscaping business through college. You'd be surprised how many property owners would not let landscapers in the house to plug in extension cords, use the restroom, etc.

For what it's worth, the 2008 article OP references specifically mentions technology to significantly reduce the pollution from 2 stroke engines. This technology has since been widely adopted in the scooter industry. Modern scooters po

On one hand, like a lot of posters are saying, maybe use another language if it gets complicated enough to require unit testing. On the other hand, a lot of the stuff that gets written in bash is quite mission critical, so increasing test c

They claim "100% Yours", does that mean they managed to do away with the Intel Management Engine? I somehow doubt it... For the rest I see a lot of proprietary modules. I somehow can't help but be a bit sceptical. It smells l

Well, after over 20.000 years we don't really have a "the way" of taking notes on paper either... Note taking styles tend to be highly dependent on context and personal style...

The focus of "AI" has shifted over time from symbolic processing (something lisps star at) to neural network machine learning, which requires more brute-force power.

Yes I can. I regularly disconnect for a hacking session, reduces distractions and I find it often helps me come up with simpler solutions then building something up out of what's already there. Its also nice to spend some time on my bo

Back before the pandemic we would have tamale making parties, hang out with friends, make tamales, drink, eat tamales! That was a lot of fun!

I suspect part of that might be a reaction to us (as in the population in general) getting used to privacy violations. It takes a bit more drama to get our attention in a world where we are all willing to voluntarily carry a personal tracki

"video calls have been part of the futurism canon for at least 100 years, but they still have little utility beyond a simple phone call" While you could argue practical utility, the mere fact that millions are clinging to video co

Does anyone know if you can keep the GPIO "programmable logic" part powered on while putting the cores in low power mode? That could make for some interesting applications.

I haven't benchmarked them, but the ESP32-C3 only has a single core, right? I also assume the wifi and bluetooth functionality will increase current use.

1. That would make the device larger and wouldn't provide compatibility anyhow. 2. The street price of ESP8266 seems to be $6.49, which is more then $4.00. I imagine the rpi board uses less current, and the programable logic in the gpi

I often wondered why we aren't seeing more hybrid solutions, base systems running on minimal owned hardware with cloud options for peak-load and DR. I guess part of the problem with that is the cost of maintaining different platforms,

Your links do not support your statement. While the wikipedia article mentions some armed presence, it clearly puts that as a response to outside right-wing violence. No mention of is made of an "rifle-wielding “security team” assaulte

"Both the left and the right in the US have paramilitaries (antifa, proud boys)." I'm not sure I would consider Antifa "paramilitary". Antifa doesn't have a military style chain of command, nor an organized use

In our (US) current political climate I can't help but cringe a bit at the prominent use of the letter Q and the claim of privacy. I doubt there is a relation with the conspiracy theory group, but the marketing seems a bit awkward.

I think that goes for a lot of languages that are now often considered "odd". There is something about how an elegant and simple paradigm can help you think about a problem! The first "higer" language I ever learned was
