If we're pining for lost technologies, I still vote for the large ekranoplan (ground effect plane). It just seems so unreasonably effective.

Years ago I had the idea to use this tape to make solder-free PCB kits to teach electric circuits (the tape would connect the chip pins to the board, without shorting sideways). I bought a roll, and printed some boards for LEDs and 555 time

I used to make some art in photoshop, and this really does make me think how hard/inconvenient it would be to sketch some straight lines or basic shapes. I understand that's maybe not an overwhelmingly common need, but it does see

https://bytebucket.co This has been my ongoing Covid project--I always buy used electronics online, and it's a pain to cross-reference specs and such. So, I was inspired to make a parametric filter/search in the style

Not to derail the OP discussion; but, how does one go about pumping water to great depths? That sounds like it would require immense energy to do on any large scale. Also thinking of the maintenance on the presumably narrow vertical pipe go

It is an odd decision for a site emphasizing the ease of onboarding visitors. Also unclear to me also what that particular snippet does? The marketing seems to imply you can skip some or all of the classic new account/login page via &#

Destroying bridges, rail, etc would be a huge mistake (beside maybe those leading west to NATO), as the current logistic challenges underscore. The initial blitz did target radars and airports (strategic infrastructure) to try to get air su

TL;DR: The Russian army relies heavily on railroads to resupply. Author estimates that beyond 90mi by truck from a railhead, the army will struggle to maintain rapid pace of advance due to logistic issues. Very good analysis, worth a full r

Works really well for flatter subtle areas, but things like the Rockies just look like static and are not intuitive at a glance. I wonder how it'd look just imposing the 'oilslick' black/white interference pattern over t

Would OP like to elaborate on what exactly this does? I'm guessing the 6502 otherwise does not have good debugging/development support?

I've never heard the term "gold open access", but I know plenty of "open access" journals that charge a fee to authors.

Thanks. Yeah I thought about a mailing list, but couldn't think of a way to make it not spam you every single day for the 1 or 2 best listings. But obviously can't aggregate them unless it's a digest of "here's what

To be clear, Tether is highly problematic, but there are other stablecoins too. While not "regulation" concerning deposits, there are so-called algoirthmic stablecoins, which are fully collateralized on-chain, meaning the coin iss

As a radar guy I'd love to hear more about this. Stunned that's not a solved problem. To be clear you probably wouldn't get a 3D view of the whole room, just a narrow window like a conventional stud finder.

I would argue AMM go beyond just evading gas cost. It sounds redundant to say, but an AMM eliminates the need for active market makers; or put another way, anyone can be a market maker. I think that's an interesting thing--previously t

Still they could extract a fair amount of value before everyone catches on. Especially if you don't know the exact day/month/year that became possible; when would you take the snapshot? No one would accept transactions after

Everyone is claiming this a race to the bottom on labor, but I'm not sure about that. Sure it's probably cheap compared to SV, but there are cheaper places too. The state is claiming the average salary for the fab workers is going
