Android Moto g - website works great, no heat, no stutter. You can zoom in and watch the motion of the cubes. Is it random motion?

We realize why. But, I wonder what would make it a more attractive title, because it truly is worth seeing. Amazing! Indeed.

I have heard that there are burrito vending machines at Warsaw Polytechnic University. You select the ingredients, the machine wraps it and delivers- in a soft drink dispensing sized machine. Not sure if the burrito is heated, prior to deli

Very good article. Clear and concise. It pertains not just to this field of study, but to most scientific research. We have seen many of these issues discussed (scientific reporting, publishing) on HN, but this writer summarises a few very

I remember traveling by train, from Calgary to Edmonton, on return trips for the weekend. It was great fun, relaxing, with good food. Hard to beat that by driving in crazy weekend traffic. Or driving to the airport at each end, security th

Interesting project would be to dig out some old cassettes from, let's say, commodore 64. Try to load them into a present day computer by patching wires/cables? - and see if they run in this system. I remember writing for example:

Except for discovery of self. If you are fortunate to get to a spot where no "man" has trod, you can feel it. A feeling of amazement, a surreal loneliness. It is awesome. Are you afraid? Alone? Teeming world is just, over there. Y

The most poignant last words I heard from someone about to die, and did 2 hours later: "I don't want to die." Gives one a lot to think about.

Not to distract from original post, but! What download speeds are you getting? Do you suffer from throttling, for example of more people are connecting at the same time? Are there high and lows during the day? Our invitation arrived and we

Using both this and k9 without Google play or any Google. They work great. But both of them, no longer allow storing your mail and/or attachments on 'external' or SD card. That is frustrating. This anti feature, just started

Great article. But if you look at the videos, it is even more amazing. Chemical engineers dream. The microscopic view of the slime, appearing as thread in a bundle, is phenomenal. How? So much? So fast? What can we make with this knowledge?

But, what will power it? Would each installation have a battery and solar panel? Maybe a good idea, small units should be installed, similar to those cheap night lights, if some fail ok, but enough for basic Comms.

Just got a Starlink invitation. But it has very expensive monthly rates, that are more than twice the rate of standard isp's. In rural areas. $136 in Canada. Plus a lot of hardware. (625$) It is very cool, though. Haven't decided

As a Canadian, a few more tips: keep kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors open. To keep water pipes from freezing. They are trouble if they freeze, expand, crack, and then when thaw - start leaking. (Empty toilets if risk of freezing.)(add gl

I keep thinking, that from an engineering standpoint, maybe it's better to look at: What went right? Look at all the processes that worked, and continued to work in spite of high demand and stress. Those are the systems that should be

Plastic or rather polyethylene tarps or sheets, even plastic bags, stapled to Windows around frame help a lot to keep house warm. Another very good trick, is to hang blankets in hallways that don't have doors. It keeps the room where t

I've been using Maps, from fdroid, also. It is very good, quick, and you can choose tracking on and off, etc. It states under info, that it is based on maps.me, version that's working is 9.1.8-8.

Why not? It is always informative to have more information. Especially if you know ahead of time, what side of the train to be on, to see more interesting things. Also having information on one map program is great. Why switch apps? Especi

Great memories of using Tucows. It was a dependable source of software. Have a similar feeling using f-droid now. Look for a useful tool, and find something completely different, that is either useful or fun.

That's an intense level of con. Timed with the pandemic, it could have been hard not to fall for. I hope there is a follow up on who pulled it off. Did the perpetrators know the victim, did they send more of these "letters"?

Saturn Run, is a really interesting and fun book - by John Sandford. I highly recommend it, as a successful modern science fiction book. That topic is really well covered, with engineers solving all sorts of problems, including that one.
