Article 25 is interesting. I don't know if there is a similar right under GDPR or the California data protection law. Article 25: When using personal information to conduct automated decision making, the transparency of the decision ma

I really don't know why they removed this feature. It's great for accessibility and language learning. I am trying to learn a language and YouTube captions were a great help.

I would start with Arduino. It's the most common platform for this type of thing. There are plenty of online resources. Adafruit is a good combined resource and store. At minimum, you'll need: The lights: maybe this is a good star

Yes, I originally came across this on HN, likely in 2017 based on my surrounding bookmarks. It has stuck with me ever since even though I don't do much programming anymore. At the time, I was a TA in a MATLAB course, so I tried to emph

Something interesting to note is that hardening steel does not significantly change the stiffness of the material. A spring or sword that is heat treated to a soft condition (annealed) is not more floppy than the object in the normal harden

Structures is great. I picked it up after receiving The New Science... as a gift. It's propping up my monitor at my WFH desk now, so it literally is why things don't fall down.

The New Science of Strong Materials, or Why You Don't Fall Through the Floor by J.E. Gordon is a great casual introduction to material science that touches on this relation between size and fatigue life. However, it was written in 19

How about this? In rare circumstances, it may loop forever. def uneven_random(): # return 0 with 2/7 probability, 1 with 2/7 probability, and 2 with 3/7 probability n = random.random() if n < 2.0&#x2F
