And that double-counts board layouts that are symmetric. Digging through the references led me to this page[1] which has a nice discussion on different ways to compute the number of states. Without symmetry you have 5478 possible board stat

It isn't surprising that the software isn't there yet. It is more unexpected that the hardware isn't. While not perfect, other VR headsets do work well for their intended use cases of gaming and video. The Vision has signific

Another minor reason is that AFAIK ZHA has to run on the same machine as Home Assistant, while Z2M can run on a different machine, and is less resource intensive than all of HA. So you can plug the zigbee coordinator usb dongle into a centr

A chunk of my early career was writing GUI software to control and display state of remote hardware, and I quickly learned to banish any "stateful" UI elements - those that retained their own state and changed behavior based on th

The old Bell companies are largely already in compliance with SHAKEN/STIR. It is mostly smaller shady companies that are not, because they know their customers don't want them to comply.

Yeah the ways I can interpret that are 1) The cyclist entered from a cross street going straight as soon as the truck partially cleared the intersection. 2) The cyclist was following behind the truck and then turned in front of the Waymo. 3

If Waymo's description was accurate it wasn't blind when they entered the intersection. Waymo and the truck stopped at a 4-way intersection traveling opposite directions. Both entered the intersection going straight. In the meanwh

Yeah, I'm worse than average at multitasking and was never able to take notes without missing chunks of the lecture, let alone being able to think about what was said. I found the most effective approach for me was to read the chapter

I didn't really follow the benefit of deleting your WIP despite the author being emphatic that it was important. In my view, if a change A I'm working on requires me to detour and make some change B, then a mandatory requirement i

Thanks, that is helpful. It looks like for some of the larger ones the editors left comments that dataset was imported from USGS quads which makes sense, while other smaller ones don't list any source information - possibly mapped pers

Yes, sorry I didn't mean to imply that they were incorrect or shouldn't be mapped. I was just pleasantly surprised that someone had done that work.

Ah that makes sense, I had overlooked the manufacturing requirements. Especially for a new type of ship that could certainly impact economies of scale. Thanks!

Who mapped these? In New Mexico we have a ton of dry arroyos that maybe have a couple inches of flowing water a few times a year. Zooming in at places I'm familiar with, a surprising number of them are mapped. I know of rez roads[1] ne

This is just a vim config. On shared systems it is very common to have permission to edit your home directory but not to install additional software (and frowned upon to install software into your homedir even though it is possible).

I'd guess those patents would have expired by now. They only last 20 years, and you must file them within 12 months of a product coming to market including that invention or you forfeit the right to patent it. So any patents related to

In my experience the issue is with medium density cities and suburbs, which account for the bulk of the US population. In the rural area where I grew up, and the few others I am familiar with, the school bus picked all students of all ages

One option would be to eliminate dedicated high school buses and instead ensure that there are sufficient public bus routes running at that time to fill the role (with free passes to all high school students). That would cut down on the tot
