I adore Blender. I use it for fun, to make animation for lectures (fluid mechanics) and even as a research tool. I’ve helped my colleagues and my students use it for a range of different applications from communication of science to the imp

Don’t get me wrong, Numbers isn’t great. It just better than Excel for the simple stuff I would want to do in a spreadsheet.

I find modern Office impossible to be productive with. Editing charts in Excel is a particular frustration having to dig into a few submenus to do something basic like change the style of a marker. Manipulating data ranges is nowhere as int

A part comes from the dedicated units such as the hardware media and neural blocks. So you can export video in Apple’s ProRes in something like Final Cut at way better perf/W compared to doing some other codec blocks on a GPU in Premie

I love science fiction and I’m usually fairly forgiving of it’s worst tropes. However, while I mostly liked the first couple of seasons of Discovery (if you don’t consider them as proper Star Trek) but hard bailed with S3. Picard immediatel

This is cool. We often get our engineering students to slice 3D models of various blood vessels for CFD analysis and anything that improves the currently clunky toolchain is welcome.

That isn’t a convex polyhedron, A retroreflective surface would actually be the interface between tessellated cubes.

These are almost like flags. Especially so you could select the colourmap based on the countries national flag.

It’s a show about horny confused teenagers being married off to each other in some alternative history. Sex scenes couldn’t be more relevant to this show.

In the general population no, but for the type of person who engages in antisocial behaviour I fully expect this to happen. The irony is that the they would do it while wearing a UK football team’s jersey. http://www.indymedia.ie

I agree, it’s a baffling decision. I had a brief look to see if I could see the European implementation but I’ve not found anything yet. Edit: here is an example: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0272/73

Flashing the red brake light is a North American thing. Over in Europe you would have a dedicated amber light and I expect there is a different light than the Union Jack which would be reserved for combined rear and brake lights only. I’ve

Thank you! Yes, generative design is part of it. I’m interested in this approach because the current situation (including hybrid) has engineers, often students, designing devices to meet the need of biologists. There a going to be a fundam

One comment I liked in this compelling tale about the transformative power of computing and video games can be phrased as Only computing get cheaper. which in a way is Moore’s law but in a broader economic context.

There are lots of different types of fittings. For glass chips where you etch the glass and bond another layer of glass over to seal you often have surface mount ports that you clamp on over a small hole and cure in an oven to bond. These g

These are the type of fitting used in many applications. https://www.idex-hs.com/store/fluidics/fluidic-connections/f... They are stupid expensive but usually work well. An alternative is to use a biopsy punc

This is the journals pdf viewer not a personal website. Awful design contributes to why more and more academics use Sci-hub out out sheer convenience.

I’ve don’t similar fixes over the years soldering replacements for dead components and changing the CCCL in a laptop. I was surprised by how simple and spacious the boards in these displays are, easy for an oaf like me to replace components

Yes, but some phones give you raw files and some apps can bypass the additional processing. iOS https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211965 Android https://www.androidbeat.com/2018/10/pixel-3-ho

While I use Photoshop CameraRAW to edit RAW files I don’t use Lightroom or any file library management software. Everything goes into folders on my PC on a dedicated drive which is shared so our Macs can access them and also backed up to Ba

Is it? If I’m at the playground with my daughters and I snap a photo with my phone or my Canon dSLR with its big fast lens which should worry you more? Which device captures more data and shares it more?

People are happy for exactly that to happen when a photographer is anywhere near a playground. Police and private security will trample all over the rights of photographers taking photos in public spaces touting anti-terror laws and privacy

The vast majority of users won’t bat an eyelid. Most users doesn’t even know that their device scans their photos already and allows them to search for the content depicted therein. This only matters to the privacy conscious and those who e

You have to correct for the shockwave that sits in front of the pitot static probe. Otherwise you get crazy results.
