Keith Fenner is astounding. Years ago my girlfriend said "enough Keith Fenner videos, You have to take a welding class", I did and it was amazing. As a side note, I'm starting a blog where I interview heavy equipment operato

I feel similarly about wedding registries, for myself emphatically and for others slightly less. I'm fortunate to have everything material possession that I want, asking for more seems wrong to me. I feel incredibly grateful, and cou

I assume by CAD you mean Computer Assisted Driving? What exactly is a dark area? What are the differences between the US PTC systems and the systems used in Europe?

I don't know if you are advocating for a zero sum view of the economy, but you are definitely describing one. The thing about those middle class jobs that New Jersey is losing, is that they didn't need to exist. The only way the

Yes. But the baggers fill up very quickly. Getting leaves off of grass is easy, use a bagging lawn mover. Backpack blowers are best used to get leaves out of plant beds, driveways and sidewalks onto lawns.

Look at what F1 teams are doing this season. They have an electric dynamo on the turbos, and on the driveshaft. They can recover energy out of the turbo or put energy into it, the same with the driveshaft. Mercedes has the best engine by

King's Assembly looks very very cool. I would buy it without the mouse functionality. To my knowledge, it is the first mechanical keyboard of any configuration with wireless capability. Having wires on my desk is quite messy and to

I just bought a car because I took a job in Greenwich, CT that is only accessible by car. For years I prided myself on not owning a car. I don't like that I have to have a car to get to work, but now that I do I'm making the bes

The rental option is not at all compelling in NYC (where I live). If you want to get away for the weekend, you are looking at a $275 to $350 rental if you go to Jersey to pick it up. Going to Jersey is an extra hour (and $7.50 per person

The big feature that I want in an autocomplete is the ability to click on the text area and get a list of possible completions. I hacked that onto bootstraps angular autocomplete widget, but it's a bit of a mess.

Anaconda is open source, free and will always be. The founders of our company (and the rest of us) have a long history of being good open source citizens. There are enhanced versions of Anaconda that include proprietary code that we charg

Good thing APD is protecting the public by keeping Uber out. The driver was definitely at fault, but we need to seriously look at how we design cities and laws. If the only way to get around in a city is to drive, people are going to driv

If you can't get home without charging your EV, you should move or get a new job. Suburban living is not eco friendly, I would hope that there are a small number of people who want an electric vehicle but would have such a long daily
