Yes, the wings of the glider provide lift that otherwise would not be present. The engines still need to produce more thrust to pull the glider but that's expected, the extra cargo doesn't come free.

A teenager slammed a beat up Chrysler 200 into the back of my rental car. Once he managed to get the door open, he said something along the lines of "yeah the brakes don't work so well". Of course this was in Florida so there

Linux is user focused but not user friendly. Of course there are exceptions, anyone can use a steamdeck without ever having to leave the steam app.

Audacity is fine for quick editing and merging tracks together but it's not ideal for more professional applications like music and narration production. It certainly could be used for those things but you're going to be stumbling

People are just hoping they can skip from "hobby project" all the way to a project that funds a couple salaries just by overcharging for subscriptions. Apps that are meant to cater towards unorganized people are the worst for this

Maybe the best compromise here is a markdown interpreter that converts to latex so you can use existing libraries and templates but not have to worry as much about syntax.

The section above seems to explain why this article is written the way it is. Many people do experience sensations or see things that we otherwise cannot. They may have heightened sensitivity or could have a mental or neurological condition

That doesn't mean it wasn't money-making scams. North Korea engages in crypto theft all the time.

Here's my guess how this has and will play out: 1. Sim box operators were running multiple locations for sending spam texts, cheap VoIP for scams, and potentially other phone-related crimes. 2. Operators were associated with other crim

Oh lol, this is a scam site. Yes, there are potential other uses for a sim box but mostly they are used for VoIP purposes. It's honestly so hard reading quotes from the US government these days. Cartels, drugs, guns. They make it sound

Politics is the absolute peak of this kind of culture. You never know when you might need a favor down the road so it's best to be friends with anyone even just marginally aligned with your platform. Going beyond the minimum compromise

I'm an electrical engineer. One of my jobs is maintaining a couple racks of equipment and the scripts we use to test hardware. I've never been expected to be a programmer beyond things like Matlab but over the past several years,

That's definitely an unfortunate part of EE, the hardware required to design hardware is expensive. CS requires a laptop and maybe some time on a server or a big GPU cluster, expensive to own but very cheap to rent. I think the explosi

It's super cheap to copy the look of higher end equipment, materials might cost more (metal vs plastic) but that's baked into the unit cost. Actually making the thing work well requires paying for good engineers to do the upfront

It mentions a few different sources which all seem to be free music (all lesser known artists) but the critical one is YouTube with a built in adblocker. The free music platforms might use ads playing between songs (that this client ignores

Owning a gTLD isn't the same as registering a trademark. It's on par with petitioning the local government to rename the street your business is on to your business name. There's an incentive to fight for your trademark, Appl

It seems crazy to me that the network operator would have zero insight into any audit logs for lawful intercept. How would anyone know if someone broke in?

I work in the defense industry. I have a personal philosophy that I will never work on a platform that could be used to directly or even indirectly harm an individual person (like a fighter jet radar system). So far I've been able to s

I took one semester on astrophysics. The unit they use and the number rounding involved is so different compared to other fields. First, they use centimeters and grams. Why? Because that's what was used before SI units came to be. Why?

We have an Aldi that has coin slots on carts, only store in the area that does this. I rarely have cash on me and never carry coins so the few I do have stay in the car for the rare coin-only parking meter. My wife likes to be nice and not

Right, getting your quarter back is enough incentive to return a cart. If you were just planning on stealing a free cart, now it only costs a quarter.

Sometimes a diamond saw is used but modern processes use lasers to score the die and then the wafer carrier expands to break along the scores.

Bond wires really are a thing of the past now except in niche applications or legacy chips. Flip chip designs have the die directly interface with a substrate that is then soldered to the board. With the kinds of speedy signals modern chips
