Hey...I have about the same. I've got a 20v DeWalt brushless compact for day to day (light and good battery life) and a pro grade Makita corded that does everything up to drilling masonry and such.

10% of my time is 4-8 hours a week. And I'm writing up those requirements, tests, etc. someplace, so I've got hands on keyboard far more than 10% of my time (usually in a vi). Seems like a good opportunity to optimize. I made m

That's the thing I've learned about drills...you unfortunately need 2. One is the probably battery powered for doing random light drilling conveniently for relatively short periods of time around the house. Two is a probably co

Don't dumpster dive, go to a pawn shop or buy the tool your mechanic wants to sell off cheap. My mechanic friends go to 'estate sales'/garage sales in upscale neighborhoods and consistently picks up the set of SnapOns o

My goal was to be able to get these in a classroom at every seat This is really amazing and you are to be commended. And you've clearly thought hard about what can make that successful. There's just no replacement for every st

Very cool! Isn't it amazing what happens when you don't assume bad faith or incompetence on the part of the researchers? You have to like a paper that has a section discussing the precipitation of vaporized iron out of a planets

I really get inspired by watching Japanese craftsmen on Youtube "Japanese Joinery" as a search term yields a near bottomless rabbit-hole of amazingness that hits the perfect intersection of craftsmanship, technology and art for

I used SuSE for many years as my daily driver, and it was generally a very nice ride, and I have/would recommended it to others. I got away from it a few years back because I was always hitting something I wanted to install that was

This is largely the reason I gave up on rich text editors in favor of a plain text source and some sort of rich text compiler. I have written a lot of words in troff/groff + various macros and adjacent tools (eqn, pic) over many ye

It's heavier as noted, but yeah that's a pretty good description.

For example, one of the earliest works covering St. Thomas' life was written by William de Tocco in the early 14th century....The iconographic tradition is also not uniform, with large variation across the centuries. Isn't that

I had always heard this explanation (back to when the poster was new and we all wanted one). And in the back of my mind I have always thought I'd been told the "BSD founder" of the story was Kirk McKusick. But I cannot for

I don't see anything there that's fundamentally changed. Yes, I rather think that's the point. And this is clearly the point at the party where I find an excuse to move on from the very earnest person who's decided th

Well...a DECtalk also weighs about 15 lbs and is packed with components. So it was probably a weight/quality tradeoff considering it needed to be mounted on a wheelchair. I understand Hawkings last version use a Raspberry PI, with the

I noticed that as well. Cool stat. And they aren't just big...a lot of them are scary fast. Having a guy like Tylan Grable (6'6, 310) or Tanor Bortolini (6'4, 305) running after you with a sub-5s 40 at the combine has to b

That's nice. The point being a 10 year old, self-confessed 'opinionate mission statement' which has in the intervening years seen some notable pushback (and perhaps progress in the opposition) should not be trotted out as the

Yeah, you're probably right; someone running it all as a business has likely figured out how to manage risk. So to be fair, my experience here is with individuals who rented out their toys. I don't think any of the (too) many cl

IMHO boring tech is great because it lets you focus on the actual tech of your product. Well obviously you need to catch up with the times. If the 'CTO' (who has at least 5 years of experience) of my shiny new SaaS can&#x27

They weren't the giant DEC-made PDP-10s, AFAIK. They were System Concept clones of the PDP-10 (SC30, SC40). Relatively small, modern (for the time) semiconductors, SCSI I/O, Ethernet & FDDI network. There were also PDP-10 cl

DecTalk, an early text-to-speech device. The story goes that one member of the team, whose voice was used as the basis for the sounds, lost his voice. Dr. Dennis Klatt. He developed cancer (throat of some sort, I'd assume) and did

No. Kent explained in his transparently biased opinion why btrfs is fundamentally unfixable. Which include such gems as "they wrote it too fast to get it right" (opinion much?) and "it has more code than XFS" (FS tha

It's a failed economy with both BTC and USD, so...yes? I'm sure they would accept a BTC denominated bailout. Problem solved, right?

'Withholding'...well how dare they. So how many IMF bailout loans must be dispersed, without condition of course, before this BTC economy will magically work?

Perhaps you can cite when this was tested in court, because "robot punches man" isn't something I've noted in the headlines. Otherwise, it's nothing but speculation.

While it's not been wrung out in the courts yet, the insurance industry has been denying coverage based on "the AI said so" for a while, coupled tightly with "we can't tell you why because the algorithm is a trade s

I think some of that is the gamification of social media. "I have 1200 posts and you only have 500" kind of stuff. It's much easier to win the volume game when you aren't actually writing them. This is just a more adv

This is a really interesting conundrum. And I'm a golfer, so... Of the top of my head I wonder if there's a way to have AI generate a summary from existing (on-line) information about a course with a very explicit "this is w
