This is pretty great. I have been wanting to get into FPGA programming so it's nice to know how low the "basement" price is for the essential equipment. Can anyone else recommend any other cheap entry level boards?

Having two choices actually might put you well above average for the US. Back when I was in Mountain View, CA (a few miles from Google HQ) it was either Comcast or nothing and the irony was not lost on me.

A big one is that the SM straight up does not account for neutrino mass, which we know they must have due to oscillations in flavor from sources such as the Sun. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_neutrino_pr

How and why would they have docker and not python. Docker's like 10 rungs up the skill ladder.

The part where the Trisolarians try to make the Special Thing was hands down one of the dumbest things I've ever read in science fiction. The first 3rd of the book that dealt with cultural revolution fallout was awesome, though. But ye

"Calories in calories out." Yes, hooray we've restated the 1st law of thermodynamics, because it's never wrong, and you can never be called out for saying something incorrect when you trot out that phrase. But it's

I would point out that this is "nonsensically pedantic." Clearly the frames of note are the one you begin your acceleration in and the one you end your acceleration in.

I hear they do live demos of Spacewar on a PDP at the Computer History Museum and I keep meaning to check that out.

I'm a physicist and I still feel compelled to die on the following hill, re: Fahrenheit---it just maps better to human perception: 30s: Wear a heavy coat 40s: Wear a light coat 50s: Wear a jacket 60s: Wear a hoodie 70s: Wear a t-shirt

Second this. Also helps you reverse-engineer an Elon Musk somewhat.

Recovering astroparticle physics PhD here. I read this news with great interest because I thought they might have finally detected the flux of neutrinos predicted by the GZK process[1]. But, this can't be the case because 1) 10^14 eV i

agreed. if it's anyone's fault, it's apple's. that's a helluva lot of friction to install a nigh-ubiquitous dev tool.

Thank you, yes, it's been corrected---"visibility" serves the purpose I intended.

As of a couple years ago development of ntp was largely performed by one Harlan Stenn. He (and the funding issues around ntp) made the news a while back, but the guy probably deserves even more visibility, given the crucial nature of his

It looks terrible-slash-suspicious but I've found covering windows with aluminum foil to be an effective technique. It's cheap, reflective, and optically thick.

We can approach classical behavior from the quantum mechanical formulism via the application of the Ehrenfest theorem [1] in limiting situations (e.g. as per the article, cases where "the wave function is highly concentrated around a p

Yes, the laws of physics are rarely to be messed with. Doesn't mean we should stop trying, as long as we stay grounded.

Re: Sound quality: I wonder if you might have more success compiling a more well-known C (or similar) based emulator down to webasm and running it that way.

Same. So much so that I thought the whole thing about blue light thing was BS. BUT it apparently at least rises to the level of being peer-reviewed BS, so I'm keeping an open mind. And I admit to extreme privilege in this regard. My sl

Wow do I resent this headline. It implies that people who currently take the bus should for some reason be considered ab -normal, which they definitely should not be, by any non-classist definition.
