That was my idea, turbine powered FPV drone to fly over the Mexican border (only ~150km).

Who is in control of the actual certificates? Is it a private company, or the government of some European country?

Regen braking is noticeably less powerful when your battery is nearly full, and you have to manually use your friction brakes more. Sounds like it might be a safety issue, but in any scenario where you use regen brakes you have more than en

Great to see reduced cumulative layout shift in image tags! Next.js seems to be the only modern JS framework with accessibility by default. Still wishing i18n would work with `next export`, though.

My guess would be the exact opposite: current chip shortage has lead to billions of USD more put into new fabs and R&D. I think/hope the market will overreact to this shortage, and I'm excited to see what we will be able to do

Everything webdev works great, Docker is the only thing in my workflow that is still a bit of a hassle but that is quickly improving.

Rowhammer does not really happen in real life scenarios, because if you access the same block of memory multiple times it usually gets cached in L1, L2 or L3 cache. You really have to try to induce such a magnetic field in RAM. The things y

I'm a bachelor student, but I trained for the international informatics olympiad in high school. These days, most of the programming I do is in web development where I do not need any of the relatively advanced algorithms I know. I do

50 volt @ 5 amps? Better make sure your ports don't have any lint inside. And don't forget your special EPR certified 240W USB-C cable, of course. The U in USB stands for "universal", but it feels like USB is trying to t

Tracking deforestation, melting of glaciers, basically anything geographic. If you're looking for things people profit from, you're right that some trading firms use satellite images to count cars in parking lots of e.g. Walmart t

You could. But someone else could add 8 SSD's for the same money and plot multiple times as fast as you, until the SSDs break.

by mvanaltvorst 5y ago
You need a relatively large amount of storage space for plotting, more than most RAM disks. It has proven to be more cost effective to consume SSD's than to use slower HDD's or a RAM disk.

Yes. However, if you and the rest of the world want to at the same time, you cannot. This is a known risk, normal banks suffer from the same problem. However, normal banks are strictly regulated, and will receive a bailout to make sure your

planet.com can get you a ~12 images per day [1] for a reasonable price. If cost really isn't an issue, I'm confident you could strike a deal with planet.com to place their next few new satellites into the specific orbit you want t

Was silent for me on macOS Big Sur Safari as well, except for the fact that it opened Apple Music without any warning. The author might want to remove the iTunes check, not sure how much entropy it adds anyways given that it is automaticall

Does this fall within Apple's policy of fair use? Would be great if there were an officially supported (paid) API for this, the technology and potential use cases are great. I'm afraid hooking something like this up to my Apple ID

<100$ GPS car trackers that use cellular and are arguably better for tracking cars already exist.

I wonder if brain structures of children are getting wired differently to better accommodate for multitasking in the modern Information Age. I would imagine that if you multitask all day, your brain would adapt to do this context switching

That's part of SQLite. It has been optimised to reduce disk reads, because those can be slow on spinning hard drives. Coincidentally, this translates well into an optimised algorithm that minimises the amount of HTTP range requests to

I'm curious, in what manner could this method speed up Next.js builds? That's all done locally, which negates the effect of HTTP range requests, right?

What kind of proteins are important when you're looking at the immune system? Is there a protein that can attach to thyroid gland cells and signals to the body that it isn't a threat? Or is there some sort of memory of the immune

Are there any online resources where I could learn more about what mRNA treatments could theoretically cure? Take Hashimoto's disease for example, a disease where your thyroid gland slowly gets destroyed by your immune system. If I un

“Programming languages are old, therefore they will never take advantage of our hardware.” Have you looked at how compilers have changed the past 30 years? How they take advantage of SIMD? AVX? The LLVM-revolution? It’s delusional to think

There's two parts to Chia: plotting and farming. Plotting is a one-time cost of ~5-10 hours for a SSD, and after that you can start farming and you continuously earn Chia by proving your drive still contains the random data that got in

The fact that the gap between the blue and green lines is increasing over time confirms your hypothesis.
