Is there a reason that they’re using such low polygon count models? They look like poorly exported STLs from some CAD package.

Occasionally Safari’s reader mode can be used to show the content. I know other browsers now have a similar feature.

I was there during the riots, the extra police from up the country had their breakfast at our canteen in Imperial. It was surreal. Closest thing I’ve seen was when US troops used Shannon airport en masses during the Iraq war. When I got off

I’ve seen it used to treat cured PDMS elastomer and glass slides for bonding microfluidic devices (aligns OH groups to the surface to achieve a covalent bond between the PDMS and glass). Our plasma chamber was destroyed by a student so I us

You can make plasma with a partially evacuated sealed bottle, it’s basially how plasma chambers work and it’s a handy way to get plasma if you’re stuck. You can use different gases in the bottle for different plasmas.

Several years ago while living in London we had a visit from the police because they were able to access my partner’s Oyster travel card registration details — she had provided her home address and I hadn’t. They were following up on an app

In fairness the new rubber gaskets they added to the keys of 2018 model to prevent dust ingress significantly reduces the keyboard noise compared to previous models.

I wonder if there are thermal issues that may affect the life of the sensor? But it’s mostly a business decision I guess.

I see it being somewhat like McDonalds. You don’t trust them to care about your health but you like eating there because you don’t value your health all that either. At least not enough to think it’s doing any harm. A lot of people shrug at

What I find interesting is that a lot of today’s games have become photography simulators. Many include either a photo mode where you can edit the paused game state or a live in game camera (in GTA V your character has a smartphone with var

This reminds me of the management at my old company. They wasted a fortune trying to develop wearables by tasking people with little or no product development background with the bulk of the work and then spending another fortune on consult

If you think newspaper subs are bad try looking at some specialist software. Maintenance costs for software like Ansys and Matlab are insane and can run into the tens of thousands a year. The situation with Ansys has gotten so bad many rese

From the readme: > "What I cannot create, I do not understand" - Feynman. So I guess you can use this axiom to learn from the provided notebooks.

OT but the setup looks somewhat similar to an optical derotator.

It has the internals of a 6s. Most folks I know with either are happy with iOS 12.

And all running at 30–60 frames per second. I’d be very curious to see how Red Dead 2 or the new Resident Evil 2 remake renders a frame. There are a lot of volumetric effects and heavy post processing going on in both.

What's interesting about these kinds of articles is that while very sophisticated and complex the process is often easy to understand. There are a lot of cool tricks used that are also used in VFX compositing and also in image processi

You should have availed of the $29 battery replacement which was available until the end of 2018. My 7 is like new and I’ll keep it for two more years.

This was also used in a part of the Stanley Parable. The narrator growing impatient at your insubordination draws a yellow line for you to follow but as it winds down a cluttered office corridor strange things happen.

I bought an older version of this for a student of mine to get her started on her dive into optical measurement. It’s a nice simple kit and helps demystify some of the technology. She ended up building a nice polariscope for measuring micro

I find many manpages to be pretty obtuse. They could do a lot to help those of us who need a bit more hand holding. I like cheat.sh. You can curl it directly from your terminal and it offers the quick examples I often need to get back to wo

I also try to keep to default key mappings where possible. When you’re the one called on to help others in a variety of situations then keeping everything as default as much as possible is useful.

You don’t have to do anything, I’ve taught several people how to use Blender and the right click to select thing wasn’t an issue. I won’t deny that it’s complex software but so are all professional 3D applications. Try and use Solidworks or

A lot of Blender is completely customisable. It takes a few seconds to find user preferences, make the required change and even switch to a colour scheme to match Maya/Max etc. The thing is, however, Blender is more than just a Maya&#x

This is a massive release and represents a huge overhaul of how Blender works from the UI to new technologies. It’s also a bit of a jarring change for everyone to get used to but it seems like it’ll be worth it. The new real time eevee rend

The Raspberry Pi has awful noisy audio out. There are some nice Amps you can get like the HiFi Berry. I set up a nice arrangement in my old lab with with these.
