She recently posted about which of her posts were most referenced by others, which caused all of those posts to be resubmitted despite being years old. This one, at least, is new.

Fitbit bought the company and presumably the IP (what else is there to buy?) so it would be up to them.

Proof of work relies on computations that are hard to do but easy to check that someone has done. The entire network has to check someone's proposed result. There are very few computations that have sufficient asymmetry to the degree n

Yes, at least in this application. You technically need a level shifter since the teensy has 3.3V output, but if you are running the strip at 4.5V, the output of the Teensy will just barely meet the spec. If you run the strip at a higher vo

Animal clones can live as long as the parent, but there are many issues with birth defects and elevated mortality. The early clones were the results of many hundreds of attempts, and for completely unknown reasons, primates have proven much

At least in some cases, those people were claiming that because they hadn't been removed, Cloudflare supported them. I don't see what other option Cloudflare had at that point.

Not very dangerous, they have procedures for this. Depending what is missing they may do a belly landing or if it’s one of the main gear they might even be ok to do a gear down landing.

He says he’s surfed 1000 hours. I think I surf about that much in two years and I’m still pretty bad. 50 hours a year means maybe only 20 days a year which is not many. Also, I think they’re doing what most surfers don’t do and showing thei

It’s not an issue of the supply, it’s an issue of the current paths inside the chip or on the motherboard. With smaller features and more complicated routing there is more inductance.

I use Reddit and instagram on mobile browsers, they seem fine for a few missing features and nagging you to use the app.

Kind of an interesting thing to exhibit when the book never actually mentions the type of motorcycle he is riding.

The biggest problem with Mattermost is that the mobile client cannot connect to multiple teams. You can add the beta client and connect to a second team, but more than two teams is impossible. This may be a function of living in the Bay Are

Yeah, the red flag in a startup is a founding team who can't explain in a sentence what their product is or why it's different. So far I've read 3 blogs and 4 websites and all I can tell is that they have a garage and also ma

This is quite similar to a room in Meow Wolf ( https://santafe.meowwolf.com/ ). That one was quite well done, down to painted shadows in spots where real shadows were cast from the lighting.

Gitlab has clearly been internally out of control for years. If you're a user you're pretty accustomed to reporting a bug only to see it get delayed, ignored. Feature requests are even worse; if it doesn't have some internal

My guess was that it was just seen as easier to drop in a third party analytics component in as opposed to doing via their own backend.

Perhaps the answer is just to intercept disk reads and stream on demand; 52x CD (fastest common speed) was only 6.3mb/sec and computers only had a few MB of RAM. Spread out over many hours of gameplay that’s not much at all. Later game

I think an article like this would benefit by including the specs for each of the coils, such as weight, winding material, number of turns, effective area, resistance, and inductance, as well as covering the differences between air cores an

I've always felt like an inotify-based system that made invisible/anonymous commits every time the filesystem changed would be a great extension of the git commit workflow. You could then browse these and choose to make a "re

Increasing the ISO adjusts the gain earlier in the signal chain where less noise/error has entered. So the snr will be better vs adding gain at the end.

It didn't sink. It wasn't even diving. Water got in a hatch while in harbor and damaged some pipes in the reactor. They fixed them and it is now back in operation, although it took ten months.

SR-71 pilots complained about having trouble telling stars from fishing boats to the point where an additional artificial horizon was added for night flying. There were reports of pilots rolling the plane up to 45 degrees without realizing
