In practice, both (qemu and hw) buildbots are useful. qemu is a bit faster and easier to scale, hw is the ground truth. Google Native Client buildbots are exactly like that: qemu: http://build.chromium.org/p/client.nacl

These engines are built from Inconel [1] superalloy, which is very hard for machining. 3d printing allows to cut the costs, and also enables more intricate shapes, thus improving the engine efficiency. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org&

I should point out that Radxa board comes from the same developer, as Cubietruck: Tom Cubie. So, the communities for Radxa and Cubieboard/Cubietruck are more or less the same.

Another point that strengths your arguments is that they are going to use mirrors to concentrate light on the panels, and reflective film is much lighter and cheaper than the solar panels. It means that it's possible to occupy 5x-10x

in short, they save fuel/money at the cost of time. Instead of going to ISS directly, they have put the Dragon to some cheaper point in the space with some speed vector. After that, it will turn around Earth multiple times, until the o

this tl;dr misses the import part: "Homeowners have a strong economic incentive to restrict supply".

Thanks for the explanation. Now, it makes sense to me.

Qatar is one of a few countries which have an exit visa. These workers (en masse) could not leave the country, even if they want. So, yeah, they are slaves. http://www.moi.gov.qa/PermitForm/PermitFormE.jsp

BeagleBone Black has just one USB port, which is often very inconvenient. For example, if you want to run Octoprint accessible via WiFi and control a 3d printer, two USB ports will be needed. Certainly, a USB hub is an option, but it makes

if you're running it on linux, is any reason to use screen for long-running tasks, instead of Docker?

first of all, I agree that my message was too short and didn't have any arguments to positively contribute to the thread. Sorry about that. Now, let me explain how did I come to this comparison (even if it seems rogue). To make it more

you should not be okay with DRM. It's as simple as it's: DRM is the form of slavery.

My Flir E4 camera arrived just yesterday and today I plan to investigate if overheating is the reason for my 3d printer (Ultimaker 2) to be unreliable on large prints. Also, I hope to have an insight which parts are getting hot and estimate

They don't connect to the company server. They just shut down and display a message to the operator. It's up to the operator to receive an unlock code from the manufacturer. So, there's no server involved. It's all human

laser cutters are very inexpensive and accessible nowadays. Once somebody published a device, producing such a set of acrylic sheets with holes is not a problem at all.

There's also a similar project for Python [1]. That said, do I understand correctly that the way you assume the users will share their OpenSCAD models is to share the generated OpenSCAD scripts? [1] https://github.com/S

it unclear what these guys have to offer. If it's just the design, they just repeat the idea from 2011 ([1]). If they have a technology to produce these things, why don't they have a video demonstration of a prototype? [1] http:&

It's always better to have multiple layers of defense. I won't be surprised, if Russ Cox has chosen sel_ldr_seccomp as the loader: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/native_client/trunk/src/nati...

My fault. I thought they use the approach described in [1], where the prototype used LightScribe DVD optical drive to make a pattern on a disk with graphite oxide film. That prototype didn't require any liquid. [1] http://ww

the best thing about supercapacitors is that they don't have a liquid inside. It means that (at least theoretically) they can be of any form and thickness. So, (again, speculatively speaking) they can be a part of laptop frame.

an easier analogy: 100-stories building that stays on 1 cm^2 area has a total surface of 100 cm^2. Now, make the height of this building 1 cm, and you have 100 cm^2 surface in 1 cm^3 volume. Make it 1M floors, and you are talking about 1M c

there's no magic here. For example, activated carbon [1] has a surface of 500 m^2 per gram. It's just a very porous structure. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_carbon
