My father had this CD. I remember using it as a kid. You could really select anything (or seemingly anything) and have its inner-workings explained in a nice set of animations! I still have fresh in my mind of how a car speed-o-meter used t

switching between 2 inputs would take between 1x and 4x (x being the time to switch to the next input) depending if it is from A to B or B to A.

Their ToS states that cryptocurrency mining is forbidden (which is fair). But, comments from hetzner officials on social media clarify that Ethereum nodes (even if they don't produce any blocks) are also against their ToS. This is like

Yes, it is published on itch.io. But I wouldn't assume this was done using Godot. It looks more like html+js

This might be a GNU vs BSD thing. But even if dd doesn't need a block size, sometimes (at least in the past) the default block size is not optimal.

The "none" comment comes from the point of view developing this specific browser extension.

Yep. Lets optimize for the 20%, let the 80% adapt by moving their phone further away.

Cast iron is far from perfect. I use it for steaks because they are hard to sear in other cookware. The cleanup and seasoning processes make cast iron hard to use for anything else. I plan to get a ceramic one (with iron core) but even

What is it with the weird RAM configurations? It looks like they have 8GB embedded (soldered) to the motherboard. The choices for RAM configuration come down to 8GB, 2x8GB, 8GB + 16GB and 8GB + 32GB. That makes the second option the only du

Congratulations on missing the text editor joke. Wait... are you a vim user?

For a company working with RF products (even if it is through a 3rd party FCC approved board), I would assume Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to be a standard.

The irony is that you could use a userscript to fix this userscript search engine's title. With something like: document.title = "not home";

Nice demo. I found up to "harder". I assume you would need to bruteforce to find the "impossible". proof: {"proof":{"A":["186760041178006751417259889456050853815335906038004557669358600574805

If this is just for the sake of not rolling 7 you can have a die with just odd numbers like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. Having 2 of them guarantees an even sum. Of course you would have gaps between the possible outcomes but not rolling a 7 is alrea

The real prank is convincing me to try vim's easy mode. I once again have to search the internet on how to exit vim or resort to a new session just to kill vim.

You can't draw too much current from the 3.3V pin. I don't know what current this fan needs but it is safer to connect to 5V as it has some more room to safely draw current.

I'm working with a different type of serverless approach. For a few hackathons now my team tries to push a client-side frontend + smart-contracts on a blockchain as a backend solution. This has a UX hit (some downsides of it could be m

I read a bit but I'd like to see a comparison of the same data structure in JSON, YAML and NT. I would also like to see YAML converted to NT and back to YAML just to see if there is any information loss.

You could theoretically store energy by winding springs and making use of it by letting them unwind (by spinning a generator or whatever). Toy-car style. This doesn't involve digging a deep hole in the ground and hope that the earth ke

The magic factor is too strong and in a bad way. It seems to defy fundamental constraints of physics. Am I expected to believe that friction caused by pressing your finger on paper can supply enough power to make a successful bluetooth tran

To side-load an app on an iPhone you need to sign it with a developer certificate (and apple will actually do it for you). You can only run the app if you trust said certificate (you will get a prompt saying something like going in the sett

System orchestration (docker/kubernetes/aws/...) This falls a bit under dev-ops and sysadmin but it would unlock your brain to think in different ways.

I don't really understand the argument against something like jekyll. There is no special styling as of now anyway so why would jekyll need any?

I don't really see this happening. Chinese industry would still be a lot more cheaper both when it comes to needed machinery (like robots) and the cost of the needed space for the factories.
