There is a very fun, and somewhat realistic global sailing navigation program. Look up sailnavsim. It is a sailing simulator not visual. (Except for maps.) You can join races, start a random race, and/or create your own races. By your

That was a fun read. It's interesting to think that they would leave it attached. Indeed, what could you do with that? Did you find the unit that the wires go to? Then you could open that up and see what chips, sensors etc are in ther

We have observed that science fiction can impact the evolution of scientific discovery and progress (Jules Verne for example.) Now we see that comic books mighty be affected by science.

Absolutely everyone should read "The Time Machine." If you prefer, then an unabridged audiobook is great, I recommend putting in the effort to find a reading by Simon Vance. (It isn't a long book.) The first paragraph of The

That is an interesting project. I would like to take that to the next level, where translation is the easy part. It's converting old handwritten letters, journals, and texts with now archaic cursive, into text. We have fascinating mate

Almost the same cost. It seems the frames and connections are decisive. Let alone mounting system. ( Ref: Just recently priced 20kw options.)

Looking forward to further write ups on faraday cages, design and uses. That was great what you did with the air pods.

Also in cases where the physics can truly be modeled. Usually there are so many assumptions, simplifications, and added constants, made so that the math can work, that the model is only applicable in very specific or simplistic cases. Then

App recommendation, there is a web site and an excellent app, (Apple and Google), I learned about on hn, called: next spaceflight. It lists all the upcoming space flights, launches, etc around the world, with times locations and links to w

That part about trying to find a phone number, rings so true. (!) Have a Normal question? Go to a supplier website, scroll around, find tabs, find a go to contacts form, fill in form, etc. But all I want is a quick question. Sometimes, eve

You can heat it with anything. Remember. It is just steel! Almost indestructible, can use anything to clean it, and if you mess up, you can heat it, wash it, and re oil again.

This is great. I suppose the improvements will arrive soon. I used to use Thunderbird on Android long ago. (K-9 has done it's part in filling the gap sincce then.) It has always been a neat system to use - Thunderbird on desktops, and

I would think that a user competent to use and want sync thing, is perfectly capable of depending on f droid as a source for the apk. Can that not be enough of a distribution channel.

There is a great app, called: next spaceflight. it seems to work great. Android and Apple. Simple settings, non invasive. (Thanks to cryptoz.) Of course there is a website, but for once I see a reason to have a notification setting, one h

Same author, another mind blowing book, especially then: " Day of the Triffids". one of the first apocalypse books. Makes you always think twice when looking up at the Aurora Borealis, like a few days ago.

When that topic was first posted; I seriously thought that it was a joke post, refering to Star Trek IV when the probe was nearing earth, making what turned out to be whale sound but sounded like that.

Here is the link to Crucial, which is the customer selling division for Micron Memory. https://www.crucial.com/products/memory It works well. They are competitive in pricing, and have a good lookup system to make sure

This seems brilliant. No batteries to fail, etc. No tracking, no databases, simple. True hacker solution. I assume we can print our own bar code on paper, and using clear tape, attach it to most things.

Those test swabs work quite well. They are designed to test ceramics, clay etc. You can find them in pottery supply stores. If trying on food,I would soak or boil that food to reduce water and thereby increase concentration if there is any

What a great short glimpse into modern history. Hilarious and prescient. Fun to see from today's point of view; what will it look like in another fifty years?

This reminds me of a Lara Croft desktop(?) Screensaver? She climbed onto the window's edges -that were open on your windows screen, rolled, jumped, etc. Sometimes made a comment about you not having cleaned up your desktop. It was a s

Dartmouth college (USA), had a requirement that you must pass a swimming test to receive your degree. ( Obviously - if you didn't know how, there were free lessons.) They have recently dropped that requirement! ( After more than 200 y

So you pick up the mouse, and talk into it? .... Seriously though, I don't understand why the state of voice interaction is so poor. In the 90's we had voice commands (early dragon ?) available to tell our computer what to do. I
