I learned on Joe Rogan that ionic engines have one atom sharp tip, honed constantly by the plasma flow. One atom sharp razor would be awesome. You will notice the cut only by the sound of your detached finger hitting the bathroom floor.

I thought I had CP/M source code for Osborne-1. But no, I have only inch-thick listing of BIOS. And it did not matter, one always used direct Bios-calls for speed. CP/M was not actually needed for this implementation, it could boo

Luckily Europe has endless resource of renewable energy. And that is peat. Finnish peat fields alone surpass oil reserves of Norway. Also money-vice. Gas generation from peat is simple process.

Did they mention "metric" chips and circuit boards? Soviets were using 2.5 mm pitch instead of 2.54 mm. So parts were not interchangeable and there was no much international demand for non-standard components. In 1970s Soviet SN74

BTW. In urban environment there are plenty of horizontal lines pointing to the vanishing point. Thus it is totally possible to make a camera app, which calculates your position from the sun alone. This might make total sense in Urban Warfar

My Bad. "Parallax Correction" was for the camera's altitude (or photographers height). The atmospheric correction was something else.

by timonoko 4y ago
Forgot the bloody atmospheric distortion. But no worries, Astropy has estimate for that too, know as "parallax correction".

Two pictures 10 minutes apart of sun close to the horizon (and UTC Timecode) is all you need. Python Astropy gives also size of the sun (i.e. photo scale), so you have everything you need to reverse this function. def sun_angle(mon,da

Annoying part is that tide & current prediction comes from Kartverket.no and those two Government Offices cannot combine information. Issues are very much related.

Some of us have "too good" navigational skills. When bicycling Australia I started to bike "West" from Brisbane airport and was very confused when I ended by the ocean. I had to think very hard wherefom the sun shines an

That was the most annoying part of bicycling Americas 50 years ago. Those slices dried up too easily or turned into mush. In Boulangeries of France they had bread-slicing machines, but you often managed to stop the operation beforehand.

Obvious derivative would be two cores inside each other. Outer core follows the inner core some ten degrees and the opportunity to test pins is gone when you tension the inner core. This might be more robust than that sliding thing. Except

Achually methinks Steve Mould mostly said, this is a handy way to support your favourite artist. The ticket and art you get maybe of value later, but megarich sponsors seldom see art as particular investment.

Endgame will be most interesting. Historically speaking. -- If Russia "wins" and takes all of Ukraine, they have to dispose 30 million people. Germans tried this industrial scale, and they managed only 6 million. In Baltic states

I have also nslambda , which take only one argument. I think the macro in some ancient lisp was also like that. My macroes are called mlambda because of this confusion.
859.
by timonoko 4y ago
My Bad. I have special nlambda , which does not evaluate anything at any stage. It was originally for testing macros without macroexpand, which expanded too much.
860.
by timonoko 4y ago
Old lisp makers rule was "macro is like lambda, but with one extra eval in the original environment". In other words: if your function is able to produce (+ 1 2), same function produces 3, when used as macro.

Lex could just interview any Russian, or one of those 80% of Russians, who support war in Ukraine. It seems to be quite impossible to understand what is going on in their minds. Jolly Heretic tried, but got only platitudes about saving suff

I do not think a Seasoned Lisper thinks in terms of S-expression at all, counting brackets and doing other such shit. In his mind he sees only the 3D representation of pointer trees. S-expression is just a way to represent this tree in te

In the 1980's I drove 3 times coast to coast North America, because it was so bicycle friendly. You never saw any other bicycles, except kids and fatties. So motorists were very careful. There were no bloody bicycle lanes, so could you

To give some sense of scale, think about the portable atomic pile in the book Martian. It produces 2 kW for 20 years. Only problem is some radiation, so the hero does not like it very much, but needs a heater in his Martian car. Compare thi

OTH BTW. Solar panels on marine beacons and cellphone towers on Arctic Ocean lay most often flat pointing upwards. No point of trying to catch the sun at all. Scattered light from clouds can be upto 10-20%, better than nothing.

by timonoko 4y ago
Imagine those panels at 70th parallel. Even at midsummer the sun is at 40 degrees. You could get 100% and 24 hours, if those panels were angled towards horizon and on rotating platform. But Nooo, we have to do as law lays. -- Or maybe we ca
