At home, if I put VS code on my 1080p 24" vertical monitor, I can see about 100 columns (at a reasonable font size, with the VS code sidebar up). I find that to be a little limiting at times but not too bad, and I can close the sidebar

I just bought a 1.111b domain from Spaceship for 67 cents a year. They are [0-9]{6,9}\.xyz , i.e. 6 to 9 numbers under the .xyz TLD.

I don't actually see an accuracy number, only the claim of "millimeter precision", which is actually pretty bad for calipers. Looks like a fun project though. Basically a linear resolver sensor I guess. From how much effort t

Wind tunnels for scale size cars are much less useful than they were just 15 years ago. My university sold its wind tunnel for 1/10th scale cars, it was just not that useful compared to CFD. CFD can get you simulations that take into a

How would you type those characters? For me (on mobile) I have a few options: copy it from your message, or google "not equals sign" and copy from the browser, or add a new keyboard that contains the character. On my desktop, I co

"Lara Asaro... gave testimony that Williams had confessed to her" I know very little about this kind of thing, but isn't this hearsay?

Sorry, I just saw your reply. Seems reasonable. I like the flexibility of knowing that every Linux tool available for mainstream distros is available in WSL, and I don't have to think about compatibility (I run into issues now and agai

Video games have had AI for about as long as video games have been around. Even Pong has an AI. This is an important distinction, because there is decades of research on the topic that gets confusing if people misinterpret the concept. But

I was interested, so I went on a wikipedia tangent. It was brought up in the courts in Reynolds v. United States in 1878, when the Mormons were saying that anti-bigamy laws were unconstitutional (they did not convince the court, and it cont

Can they take astronauts, and parts, and all the EVA equipment, up to a high enough orbit? From a quick google, it looks like Starship could do it in the future if it becomes human rated (in many years' time), or Dragon could theoretic
