I’d be curious to see some of that research. Some technical tools I use have migrated to ribbon UIs. Matlab is one example and it’s utterly broken. Tiling the main IDE window beside a text editor (a standard way of using matlab) on a 15” MB

I’d really like to see those images. In older office I could move toolbars around. If I could have moved the ribbon to be vertically arranged on the right side (hence my Adobe comments) it would have been at least usable. EDIT: via the Wayb

Similarly for editing charts in excel which became a multi-click hell. Whereas in 2000/XP office you could quickly rearrange series in charts by dragging and enable chart elements at a click now it’s a tedious unintuitive affair. I hav

2003 was the pinnacle of MS Office for me. The introduction of the ‘Ribbon of Confusion’ in 2007 around the time of the adoption of 16:9 screens was appalling. The ribbon was welded to the top of the screen leaving a letterbox sized area fo

It's a Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0. The range is advertised at 80km and I've gotten about 75km out of it on a single charge with some steep hills. It was not a cheap bike so I keep it in my office and I have a charger at home and a

I cycle 24km to work across the city each way on an ebike. It’s the fastest mode of transport available to me, even limited to 25km/h. The bike takes an hour, the bus 90 minutes because of its indirect route, and the car about the same

How can they patent if the researcher publishes the work? Any patent search would show this to be prior art.

There is also the paper craft spectrometer kits sold by the Public Lab. I can’t find the version I bought which included a cheap USB board camera but here is a smartphone version: https://publiclab.org/wiki/papercraft-s

This reminds me of the time ITV in the UK showed footage purporting to show the Provisional IRA shooting down a British Army Lynx. Turns out it was a video of an ARMA2 mod. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-1

The iPad Air 2 was notable for being a powerhouse. The successor was actually slower. I guess iPadOS was in the oven for a long time.

The standard option would be to import the images into the Photos app. I’ve yet to install iPadOS but I’d imagine simply plugging in a USB would present such an option to the user. They may need to open photos and tap import. Once you’ve en

I recently rewatched DS9. Nog’s character is one of the more notable ones because the Ferengi are often used as a form of comic relief in the series. His development from an obnoxious teenager rebelling against his culture and befriending J

I remember people using Grand Theft Auto V to generate synthetic data. It’s got pretty much all of that.

I’m pretty sure the game has a version of the actual Elephant’s Foot, but this doesn’t look like it. At the end of the first game you go down into the remains of the Power Station to make a wish like the room in Tarkovsky's Movie. I’ll

Not to justify them or anything but as a workaround to this many many similar awful behaviours, Reader mode on Safari is a handy way to ignore all this.

It’s a nice idea and I’m glad to see it investigated, however the efficiency of kinetic energy generation from a regular turbine is always going to be greater. Oscillation from vortex shedding behind a cylinder depends on separation of slow

I’d be happy if they made actual games again.

It’s not a game that I, a long time Valve fan would have any interest in, but I’ve been told by friends who are into card games that the actual game was fun, it was the awful pricing that killed it.

It should be a / b = (a + b)/a = 1 + b / a = 1.618..

I’d imagine the recent sale of Amazon Fire products is having similar unfortunate behaviour.

Would be pretty easy to cut and join the models in blender for a single print. You could even get creative with the cut too, instead of a sagittal cut you could do multiple horizontal bands or a helix...

The Kinect is okay as a 3D scanner.

It would be interesting to split the models down the sagittal plane and join the left and right sides of before and after.

It’s been interesting as my commute changed from 7km to 18km to 22km in the last year. The 7km commute was a no brainer by bike. It took a leisurely 20 minutes where as the car would be much the same with lots of tedious traffic. Bus wasn’t

I’ve piled on the weight since our second was born. I attribute it to the reasons mentioned here and also that I’ve not been cycling to work for the last several months. We bought a new home and don’t currently have a place to store my bike

I had massive issues with Airdrop 2 when it first came out. After many lengthy chats with Apple support it managed to resolve itself. All I can offer and a working solution is signing out and back into iCloud on each affected device. This o

It will all be available on github by the end of August. I’ll post it up here on HN for the craic. The challenge is that many of the students really don’t have the first clue how to really use a computer so getting them to install Python, S
