Yes, sir, and you had to wait 10 years for it! I've only had steel frames myself but when I try out non-steel frames I can't say I dislike them, just that they feel strange. I'm still trying to understand the talk about over&

She should recuse herself and stay out of it. Wolf/farmer conflict isn't black and white, though, I have sympathy for keepers of livestock as well. Here in the US it flares up all the time and simplistic romanticized arguments on

It's tempting to think that way but maybe it's worthwhile rephrasing the question as "is it worth getting a Masters degree at all?" In some fields the answer is clearly yes, in others not so much. Where does CS fall in t

Awesome, thanks for the link! The vision portion is very much what I'm imagining for my deer deterrent.

Yeah, Spotify only nowadays. I don't have a subscription, though, so you can still listen to it for free.

Cool idea, there is a town in Austria where the sun doesn't shine in winter and they were going to build something like that on the adjacent mountaintop. I think it never happened, though.

I read Madame Bovary a long time ago because in the old days when we visited East Berlin from the west they forced you to exchange some money into the worthless Ostmark. The only thing worth buying were books and even those were printed on

My goal: build an outdoor robot to keep the deer away from my plants. Learning goals: - Brushless motor control: has now reached cheap commodity status and would be good to learn more about. In the past I was always stuck between DC toy mot

I would love to see this broken out by fiction/non-fiction. I read mainly fiction and some stories just take longer to tell than others so I don't really take page count into consideration. When I do read non-fiction I almost alwa

These are old structural problems. My dad spent his career at the intersection between semiconductor science and industry in Germany and I spent my childhood listening to the exact same complaints the author has. I've decided to spend

Wow - jumping to a lot of conclusions! My only point is that an old guy attacking the most popular platform used by millions of users as their primary entertainment and self-expression will have some repercussions. $THE_OTHER_GUY will build

Seems like a good way to lose young voters. How hard would it be to spin-off TikTok USA into a separate entity?

Great question and a puzzler for me at first. From my perspective only expanded memory mattered (bank-switched block in memory space < 1MB) because all the apps I was using at first didn't support extended memory, which requires som

I remember that and the sound you often heard right before. Different for 5-1/4" and 3.5" disks I also remember the equivalent rattling on my Apple ][ disk drive right before something goes wrong.

Here it's typically not the police but other city government organizations, literally hauling away containers of garbage and restoring the space. Of course it's a game of whack a mole.

I can believe it's true that high housing cost is one of the big drivers of homelessness but once you have a very large, drug addicted and unhealthy population of homeless you can't just say "build housing for these people&qu

Thanks for reminding me of my love for Dickens. That other guy, not so sure, style over substance, I think.

Probably not for a long time. The individual microbolometer pixels are huge and use an expensive process so just the size of the sensor and the effort of getting reasonable yield is enormous.

I've played around with both generations of the Lepton sensor and the 3.5 is really nice: factory calibrated so you can directly measure temp without elaborate external calibration and a built-in shutter. Thermal sensors of this type a

True, Gibson's writing is very unique. One of the things I like is how the reader is often left in the dark about details and can slowly understand the world the story takes place in. That part actually ports to the screen quite well.
