This already exists somewhat (e.g. antiflash white paint on aircraft expecting to operate in a nuclear conflict area) but given that today's environment seems to favour stealth (you can't lase something you haven't detected y

My router (an Archer, can't recall the model) has a "night mode" configurable where the LEDs are disabled during a given time range. I haven't bothered to turn it on since it lives in the hallway, but at least the option

I go with Warm lights for relaxing spaces e.g. bedroom, bathroom, living room, and Cool lights for workspaces e.g. the shed, kitchen, laundry... It feels "right" to me having a lighting distinction between the types of spaces.

I remember reading about a model boating society that, instead of wargaming, would create scale models of famous warships and fight them - the hulls would be thin wood, and the turrets had motorised mounts and compressed air guns capable of

My driving instructor was very stressful (lots of yelling at me and other drivers), but given the sheer amount of bad drivers on the road these days it ended up being helpful - when "stressed out" is the baseline when you're

It constantly horrifies me that they don't use data diodes for this systems like this. Let data flow one way from the secure industrial equipment out to the general use network for monitoring, but you'd still have to go to a machi

I really don't understand the drive to make everything easier. I've never beaten a *souls game because I don't have the skill or patience to do so, and I'm fine with accepting that. Why can't everyone else? I do won

I didn't specialise in comp sci (my degree is in networking/security with a minor in software development) so the most we touched on is statistics and linear algebra. The "mathematician mindset" needed to program in Hask

Having presumed liability laws sounds dreadful - you can really follow all the road rules and still be found guilty, because a "less dangerous" vehicle crosses your path and causes an accident? Australian road rules are quite reas

As an Australian, I can confirm this. It's not necessarily their fault, but cyclists are extremely irritating for drivers, and an outright danger in some cases. Due to our road designs being mostly car-centric and our laws, it is hard

Camera detectors are cheap (I purchased a combo camera detector (IR strobe type) and RF Detector (0 to 6GHZ, overly sensitive but works nicely if you retract the antenna and dial down the sensitivity) for the equivalent of $15.70 USD + ship

That was partly the reason I bought it once the post-release fixes came in. To help show that "not screwing people" is a viable business model. The devs did the right thing by their customers which is sadly quite rare these days.

I do not like the conclusion of the article. Increasing the diversity of the team members might be good for reducing bias, but the fact remains that darker skinned people are harder for machine vision systems to work with due to the lack of

For a more capable model, I would recommend the ADALM PLUTO from analog devices. It's ~$150 USD (if I remember correctly)and has a range of 385 to 3800 MHz @ 20MHz bandwidth, but a very simple hack increases it to 70 to 6000 MHz range

Why should developers cater for users who are running severely outdated hardware? I don't disagree with you, I was running an ancient laptop as my main box until a few months ago, so I know first-hand how frustrating it is. It's h

Example.com does not use any scripting, let alone 5mb worth. In fact, it only transfers 1.24kb of plain CSS/HTML. Whoever wrote that comment was a liar and a peddler of nonsense.
