Tangentially related, but this site (and its editor, Tyler Rogoway) are my go-to news source for anything military aviation related. Consistently great reporting. He’s worth a follow on Twitter [0] if this sort of thing is of any interest t

Fellow blade enthusiast here, so I love the idea. A minor data thing: when I search for “LT Wright” under brand, there are three entries. They just need to be merged.

I had that 20S for years. Great calculator. Display went bad so I got rid of it. I wish I’d explored fixing it instead. In spite of having no shortage of calculator apps at my disposal, I missed having a physical calculator so I actually bo

This is exactly it. You get a similar experience with the old radiators powered by a boiler. Both have the added advantage of not having as many issues with humidity as say forced air heating, which dries the air out as it heats it. I grew

Hi Jessamyn! I read Soul of a New Machine for the first time just 3 years ago, even though I’m old enough to remember seeing it in the computer section of my local library as a relatively new release. Before I read it, I saw a comment you m

Going back a little farther it was not uncommon to list your religion and what church you were a member of. Going back a little farther than that, if you were a candidate for an executive position at a company, they might interview your spo

German maker Laura Kampf is doing a video series on restoring a a 140 year old house. It turned into a much bigger project due to water damage that destroyed large parts of the wood frame and stone work. It’s interesting to watch if you’re

My perception is that this is largely based on price. Not necessarily because it’s better.

I discovered this album probably 15 years ago, and since then it’s been one of my consistent go-to albums for when I need to focus on some work. Music with lyrics is too distracting for my brain, so I need instrumentals. This is a great one

I use an app called Streaks on my phone to do this. It’s a powerful motivator for whatever reason.

A Jupyter notebook would work in much the same way, and has the advantage of being able to mingle Markdown in with the code. Neither is as approachable for a non-programmer as the OP, however.

Kind of, but the source here is someone who has been at Microsoft a very long time. Given that he didn’t put any qualifier around this story about it possibly not being true, I think it’s more likely that it is true. If this were J Random B

Just to add to that a bit: early in this conflict there were airborne tankers flying in patterns near the border, along with V-22 Osprey aircraft. All with ADSB transponders on. Periodically the Ospreys would disappear from ADSB for a few h

I probably saw the same documentary and found it fascinating. I remember being excited when I found his blog many years later. He’s definitely an interesting guy.

There’s a video floating around out there somewhere from the 80s show Knight Rider. One of the things about that car was that it could drive itself. I always assumed they used some sort of complex remote control system to film those scenes,

This 100%. The thing I like about his videos is that he decomposes songs into their individual pieces and lays them out to show you what they are. As a music loving non-musician, there are so many layers to songs that I never realized were

If you’re doing anything heavy that will put sustained stress on the machine, active cooling is the important difference. While the laptops may have identical CPUs, with only passive cooling the Air is going to get throttled down after a bi

The most comfortable headphones I have are my open ear Hifiman He-400i. Minimal clamping pressure, and they’re more breathable due to being open backed. I can wear them for hours without issue. The downside is that they only work if you can

Not a lawyer, but in the US there are typically separate power of attorney documents for financial vs medical decisions. If you search for your state and medical or financial power of attorney you should find standard forms for them and see

I had somehow completely forgotten about lanyrd. It was a really cool site at the time, and I’m pretty sure I had an account. I’ve never been someone who goes to lots of conferences but it was cool to see who was going where.
