Here, "label free" seems to mean that the detection is done more or less directly, instead of relying on a consumable extra material (the label) that binds to the thing being searched for, thus marking it. At least that's my

I don't think it qualifies as "socialist" to require that products sold match the description. Maybe, at an extreme Mr Fantastic-style stretch, it comes closer to what many people classify as "socialist" to also req

... and if you're not aware, Saleae clones are widely available on e.g. Amazon, prices before shipping seem to start around $7 in the US. This is possible since the original Saleae is basically just a CY7C68013A [1] in a box, and once

This was in the OP, the article we're commenting on. Also, I never saw it as a house of cards , since the blocks have varying sizes they just look like abstract blocks to me. Interesting.

This page [1] gives a bit of an overview of this technique, which was new to me: Inverse procedural modeling discovers a procedural representation of an existing geometric model and the discovered procedural model then supports synthesizin

Thank you, I was starting to wonder if there was a secret game going on, or if I was supposed to screenshot them all and post for a hat-trick or whatever. So strange. Not sure if I was being hit by Extra Strong(tm) confirmation bias [1], so

This looks really interesting, thanks for doing all that work and sharing. Two minor points of feedback: - The name is "strange", since "Backus-Naur" is already labelling the form as being theirs, adding a possessive to

It is a preprocessor directive, the result must be as if the contents of the file were inserted byte by byte as integer literals. See [1] for more information (which, btw, also states that #embed is in C23, not C21 (which doesn't exi

That is great information, but perhaps it would be even more interesting with a comparison focusing on supported features, standard library support, and so on. MicroPython [1] is designed for "real" embedding, i.e. in the "em

The argument I've been hearing when this comes up is that the mechanical side of ordinary 2d printers is too high-precision for hobbyist work. This sounds plausible, the actual nozzle holes in an inkjet printer are around .003 inches

Very cool, I love how life-like and kind of soothing the motion is. And how it's able to flip and fly on its back, really neat! Also: I just had to look this up since it's always (?) been bugging me: Festo (the company in the OP)

Wow, very impressive visualization. Minor editing needed in the bullet point factoids: The amplitude of the wave animated here reached 1.5 km miles high (0.93 miles) but the initial wave might have reached 4.5 kilometers high (2.8 miles) .

I'm not in the US, or even in a NATO country (yet, heh) and I read all the comments about how obsolete the A-10 is but I guess you're exaggerating a little for dramatic effect. :) I'm pretty sure the A-10 would be at least &q

That is not true, as long as VLA:s are in the language spec for the version you're using. This works: void vla_print(int n) { int foo[n]; printf("Got %zu bytes right there!\n", sizeof foo); } in

So, uh, is this irony? They design an electronic artifact that is supposed to last 1,000 years. Cool. But to check on its status, i.e. learn what it looks like, you have to go to ... Facebook?!

Just to play unfold-that-acronym, here "EVOO" is simply extra virgin olive oil, i.e. the good stuff. Pretty obvious if you're into cookery I guess, but it did pause me for a few seconds anyway. :)

I was at a mini-lecture about how to save energy in small houses, and the lecturer stated that a 10 year old fridge uses 2X the power of a modern one. For a 15-year old fridge that goes up to 3X. I have not researched this to verify but hav
