In our tour at work, they show off a 3D printed, computer optimized part. It looks very similar to that tensile structure; ver organic looking. The customer didn’t like the look, and they had to fill in some areas to make it look less ali

The article talks about superconducting cables, but these cryogenic cables are not superconducting. Seem like regular Kapton flex cables, either strip line or broadside coupled. https://www.delft-circuits.com/wp-content&#x2

You can with RFNoc blocks in GNU Radio, but that’s specific to Ettus hardware.

20 MHz only requires 20 Msps of complex samples. It would be 40 Msps if those were real samples.

Same here. Been wearing contacts for 25 years and they work fine. I've had several occasions where something has hit my eye, and the contacts have protected it from probable severe scratching.

This is all really confusing. Why not just represent divergence and curl for what they are? Sources/sinks, and circulations. As someone who had lots of courses in electromagnetics, I see no basis for physical reality in these diagra

They removed it? Is this how far Apple is out of touch with technical users?

Thanksgiving is now about overeating and shopping. Wonder what it will be about 100 years from now.

They received the equivalent of $10k for their patent. Doesn’t it cost about $25k today to file a patent?

As an engineer in the defense/aero industry, this is so true. Legal, HR, and IT run everything, with the engineering staff shat upon.

Probably multiple levels of outsourcing. Boeing > Collins > Indian for $9/hr.

Maybe better pay and working conditions would help, along with the “obsolete by 40 stigma”. My wife just quit her STEM job because of a toxic work culture, brought on by a newly hired, sociopath manager (who happens to be female).

Maybe instead of 24*7 work, some manager thought it was 24/7 work, and sent everyone home.

What's the deepest core sample; 10 km? I assume isotope dating is no where near accurate enough to see the difference.

The federal tax credit ended in tax year 2018. I installed two Open EVSE in my garage, and ran a 100 amp sub-panel. I did all the work myself and was able to claim about $300 of the tax credit; can't claim own labor so it was all mat

Seems Intel is run by an MBA too, with zero engineering experience. Maybe it was he who fired all the senior engineers since their products were mature.

In the 60’s, the boomers were socialist hippies, and now they are conservative Republicans? The millennials now complaining about inequality, will become conservatives as they age and acquire wealth. As a gen-X (who’s generation just put th

Why would you doubt her at all? Bootstrapping with toggle switches, such as in the PDP-11, was quite common. I have a Altair clone kit where it can be done.

Hobbies are intrinsically rewarding. Once you do it enough, it becomes monotonous. I don't think roofing a house or plowing a field is intrinsically rewarding past the fist few times.

They used to use this shit at my employer, back in the 80’s, for cleaning circuit boards. Forbid the use of gloves due to electro static discharge. People often complained it would burn their hands. At least they now use d-limonene, which

Ha ha, there’s no way in hell I believe those numbers. This says it’s no more than $5k on average, at best. More like $2,500. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/03/11/how-much-money-americans...

There is a giant flow from KS to gulf coast TX. I assume those are grain exports?

I’m guessing that is mostly 401k savings, not liquid savings, which essentially can’t be touched until 60.
