This is interesting, I didn't know 37° is considered normal in the US. In Ukraine where I grew up as a child (and I imagine also other post-USSR countries), 36.6° was always taught to be the norm, and 37° typically considered an onsett

A 6ft wingspan fixed wing "drone" is easy enough to build for several hours of flight endurance. It won't be able to exactly hover, but it could fly circles at slow speed, making the impression of barely moving if positioned

You pay for 6 months at a time. If you cancel, you get money back for however much you didn't use.

An alternative. We can have both 13" and 15" MBPs as well (and I assume the upcoming 16" will be an option, too).

Our company offers Dell XPS 13 and Precision 5530 (based on the XPS 15 chassis) as Macbook alternatives for all employees. I've had my Precision for a couple years now and couldn't be happier, it's an awesome device and imho

According to the article, the W69 would not have detonated their nuclear payload, but there was a significant risk of their conventional explosives (used to compress the nuclear mass for detonation) as well as rocket engines igniting and sp

At least on Twitter, it's fairly easy to build a filter for µBlock (or similar blockers) that will trigger on having "promoted" within a Tweet <div> and hide it. At least in the Instagram app, the ads have the same &quo

Tesla's Summon mode has very low torque limits, it will barely make it up a slightly slanted driveway.

Far from it. Both the USA and USSR have crashed multiple landers before successfully touching one down. And that doesn't even count intentional "impactor" missions that came before that.

I imagine that a slashed zero would be used in places where both letters and numbers are possible, and a non-slashed one where only numbers are contextually expected. This seems to match the header picture: "5240N" uses a slashed

Nowadays, combined GNSS receivers like you mention are available from various electronic retailers for around 20-50$ a piece. The uBlox Neo M8 is a popular chip, there are a few others too. They are widely used in UAVs (where I know them fr

We actually use our similar tool (see my reply to parent comment) in a typical CI/CD pipeline. The generated output can be visualized and browsed anytime. The tool can visualize differences between different analysis states, which make

Nice! We also have an internal tool for this that was somewhat recently open-sourced: https://github.com/MaibornWolff/codecharta . It's been quite useful in several projects I've been on, especially when used

People who complain about the GEZ/Rundfunkgebühr complain about the fact that it is compulsory, even though the content and media being offered is irrelevant for many people (who don't watch TV or listen to the radio). Also there&

Well, I can tell them how I listen to the radio... as soon as ads come on, I turn it off or tune to another station, and return no sooner than in 5 minutes once the ads are done. That is when I listen to the radio at all, which is rare for

That actually adds more mass than the extra fuel required for propulsive landing. And significant refurbishment of engines is needed after they've contacted salt water.

That's 10G during an abort motor firing. Shuttle didn't have those in the first place, and Soyuz's abort motors produced ~18G iirc.

It is quite elliptical. Right now the second stage is in GTO, with an apogee of 7000km and perigee (presumably) of ~200 or so. When it arrives at apogee, it'll reignite and go hyperbolic, onto a trajectory that escapes the Earth's

EVs (and PHEVs) already profit under the 1% rule - the base price gets reduced for the tax calculations, based on the battery size. I am absolutely planning on getting my Model 3 as a company car with the 1% regulation - my company has a Te

Brake fluid needs to replaced eventually, same as in ICE cars. But that's only once in several years. No oil, no transmission fluid. And yeah, you need to refill windshield washer fluid every once in a while too :) Other than that, sin
