I went to school in the 90's with a wonderful person who grew up Lancaster Quaker and regularly had to suppress speaking to Professors with Thou and Thine. Lost the habit really quickly, but it was charming and very real.

I run Zulip at a small company and want to support development but absolutely cannot justify this cost. The emailed notices are just fine. Why aren’t cloud services priced closer to cost like every other commodity?

This is running at work. When it was the newspaper front page people would barely look. Now they stop and study it every refresh (4 hours). It’s the first time most of them have really noticed the unique dynamics and inhuman aspects of the

This would not work in your thermos! This material is reflective in the visible but emissive in the infrared. The only thing that matters in the thermos is being reflective in the infrared. Thermodynamics does not permit a thermal diode to

It was novel and reduced to practice. Why can’t you patent it?

Labview squarely solved the need for a quick UI with few buttons and a graph like nothing else. What can replace it? Labview for macOS was surprisingly well written! It ran my code better and faster than on windows and Linux. I understood

I think "wrong" was banned. Perhaps not thoughtcrime but just ungood?

Magnetic measurements are both physically possible and don't have muscle interference. For example https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.03534 is a magnetic field sensor that measures brain activity and runs off a USB port.

Also it’s so well written that you don’t need zillions of bug fixes like you always see in kicad and librepcb

I have found that Horizon EDA is squarely better than both KiCad and LibrePCB. With the addition of blind vias this year, it's capable of everything I could possibly need.

NIST 800-171, if that's what this is, is actually a decent set of regulations. I find, however, that the software solutions that are available drive companies to use just a few solution providers that creates concentrated points of vul

If this is just the standard CMMC clause getting inserted with all government contracts, then they are not actually required to meet all the security standards all at once. They only have to have a plan to meet all the standards. So sayin

It’s all about files. That we have a photos app with a custom database is an obvious failure of the OS file system. Why didn’t the BeOS approach work?

The White Nose Syndrome fungus is actually endemic to Europe and Asia; it was just its introduction to the US that decimated the population. The fungus is found on European bats with no mortality. It seems the US bat population had no immun

You are thinking of helium-3, of which there is none stored here. It is very much harder to fuse helium-4.

Why not vector graphics that can be more easily modified than PNG? Surely these were created using vector graphics tools.

This is correct. If you tell it the destination the range estimate is astonishingly accurate. And it will list all the reasons it turned out to be wrong down to what fraction a headwind impacted range.

It’s odd to me that centralized management, especially for macOS, is being forced into an array of small companies like this. I worry that these companies are not big enough to invest in securing against this sort of attack. Why didn’t the

Second this! Horizon EDA is far closer to Eagle's library management than KiCad. And it's also much better than Eagle.

Or it needs to be done in Horizon EDA.

Caves are a major frontier right in our (karst) backyards. They were discovering huge new caves in the 2000s in WVa. Major mapping efforts were a lot of fun. Project cavers would dig all weekend hoping to open up a new passage (and they did

That's already possible with a high sensitivity magnetometer.

This was also my path. I'm still surprised that stm32 development is not more widely taught. I'm also surprised that products like the leaflabs maple didn't take over.

Propane is a shockingly better refrigerant. Sure, it's flammable, but is it really unsafe? It's widely used in commercial units.
