Any pointers to resources or groups around 3D printed musical instruments? Sounds really interesting!

This already happened with Affinity Photo v1 on iOS; a lot of functionality did not work after an iOS update. It feels like Apple changed something in their libraries, so it doesn't even matter how robust your software is if the underl

There's already precedence for app deterioration in their iOS apps. Affinity Photo V1 for iPad lost a lot of functionality in brushes and other features with later versions of iOS (e.g.: https://www.reddit.com/r/Af

I'm one who started with only a BS, and I'm at a top-20 public university in the US. It depends on your PIs, but I've definitely been appreciated on many of the projects I've worked on (e.g., listed with 2nd most ownersh

I explained my problem in a confusing way. The main problem is solely that I can't find the word I want to say. Normally, I'd just freeze up and just keep racking my brain for the right word, but my coping mechanism has been findi

Some things I have thought about looking into: * Reading aloud text in a very quick speed. Maybe I need more practice in just brain-to-mouth coordination? * Flash card style training, from just words to even actor headshots (because that fe

Could you send some links to the community you found who were hacking away on the partial refresh drivers? I have a 7.5" that I started with and would love to work off of whatever has already been accomplished.

Waveshare is probably the easiest way to play with eInk today. If you're willing to look at different sizes, they offer displays with partial refresh already built in. The 2.7 inch models are nice for people beginning with hardware bec

I start chats with a separate "Hey" message solely just for the chance that the recipient is sharing their screen in a meeting. That way others in the meeting will only see the "Hey" popup and not any details of the rest

>amazon had a rule that you can't sell your product on amazon and sell it for less on your own site. Why not create an Amazon exclusive SKU, the same way manufacturers do for Costco and the like?

To me, the biggest feature that Photoshop has that others don't is their type support, especially with kerning. I can accomplish most of what I want with other tools until I need to tweak the kerning of a word. Most tools require you t

The original SmarTrip cards came from a company that went out of business, but used proprietary technology. WMATA eventually found another company to create the cards, and I believe this came about the time when new SmarTrip cards reduced i

It's a smart move in several ways. For one, Monsanto has to grow all the seed it is going to sell, so knowing which areas will most likely have the weather patterns conducive to that particular hybrid will increase their yield. Secondl

Do GPS signals not correlate themselves with a compass reading? I would think that comparing the change in coordinates to the external fact would prevent spoofing.

I'm curious: does state funding apply to out-of-state students? When I went to college in the 90s, out-of-state tuition was about 3x as much as in-state, a ratio that seems to have held to today--at least for my school. I would have ex
