I have a very similar thing... it's called an Elide Fire Ball. https://www.elidefire.com I have a small room with some of my electronics and hobby stuff in it that is slightly more likely to cause a fire than elsewhere so I

I first learned of this incident in the early 2000s from a computer book about how to code UML State charts in C/C++ [1]. It included a CD-ROM with a library that implemented a rather clever way of maintaining state using the call stac

Yes, I've seen this as well! Thanks for the link. As my kids got older, we upgraded to Lego system track and I was initially very disappointed in it. The math for Lego track is quite different and there is something very satisfying abo

My friend and I used to discuss a similar question: given a fixed set of curved Duplo tracks, how many different looped track layouts can you generate? Straight sections are mostly ignorable since you can always add them in pairs on opposit

True, but only trapped within alternating N/S permanent magnetic poles... so it's possible to fool other people, but you won't be fooled yourself. Just don't use that magnetic setup. Superconducting materials will levita

Yes. Tokyo has a lot of shrubs and small trees planted on any available median or unused sidewalk space throughout the city. I think that helps. There is also some small effort put in to plant ivy or other climbing plants on things like hig

I just walked out onto my 3rd floor balcony in Tokyo at 8:30pm and my watch says it is 38dB. I can hear some light car traffic in the distance. I live about a 20 minute walk to Shibuya crossing, so not exactly rural. I also live about 100m

My belief is that part of the reason state machines are not used often is: - State machine libraries are good at expressing an existing state machine but often the workflow for upgrading or modifying it in production is lacking. If you want
