Never underestimate the ingenuity of a motivated fool. My litmus test for this sort of thing is Excel - I think we all can agree that Excel is used for way more than it should be, …

I'd just like to throw https://hedgedoc.org/ into the mix here, for anyone looking for a collab + notes + presentation selfhosted thing. I've been trialling it for a little while a…

Somewhat obvious disclaimer that this is my own stab at this a little while back: https://johnvidler.co.uk/blog/federated-web-rings-and-link-s... with its associated search tool: h…

True enough, but even physical museums have warehouses where the artefacts are safely preserved between viewings. Analogies aside, I’m not against anyone using Youtube (or any othe…

The title here might be hyperbole, but if shutting down a channel would make the museum ‘die’ then they’re simply not preserving the data properly. I’m not sure why folks seem to t…

If the site isn't being updated any more, it could be run through one of the wordpress-to-static-site generator things and hosted as you'd describe, though.

Heck, it's bad even on reasonably fast machines like my surface pro. I've recently found that if I "blind type" a search query at my normal (very fast) input speed, it actually ent…

If you're into the embedded/edu/stem/steam space at all, the micro:bit v2 codebase for audio is being integrated more widely this year, and expanding our audio processing component…

Current UK CompSci PostDoc here - and yeah, pretty much what everyone says here is correct. My contract is 'contingent on funding' (so casual/short-term by any other name, but 'per…

Reliability across power cycles or brownouts, for one. Cost is another - sure the dev boards are expensive as compared, but the chips used are easier to integrate with your own des…

While I agree the sentiment that the silly range ones are just for fun, I have in practice seen good links over ranges with no line of sight. I've personally observed links through…

503'ing here for me, so here's an cache link: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://... Also, I've been part of the group looking at LoRa at Lancaster Univers…

Will try! It's slow going because everything tends to start with some variation of 1. Get/buy new tool. 2. Learn entirely new skill. 3. Make mistakes. 4. Goto 3. The documentation …

Whenever I have any breathing room after my thesis work, I'm working on an electric motorcycle build based on an the chassis of an old Honda H100-S2 as a challenge in hardware, sof…

Honestly, I kinda like the square phone mock-up. It would be a little weird to use as a phone, but perhaps there's a compromise to be made for the pocketability of it all?

While I agree that it's odd that there was no fallback, the whiteboards do immediately convey 'stuff is broken, you should check this board' pretty decently, as they would stand ou…

While it entirely put me off going further into the site, I did look through some of the cookies listed - a few have 68-year expiry dates. I doubt I'll even be using the same archi…

Most random sources are PRNG rather than 'true' random sources, and sometimes it's useful (for debugging, for analysis or just for interest) to be able to use a predictable pattern…

Leaf driver (bought second hand), and DIY electric motorbike builder here. The commercial chargers are all waterproof, with connectors rated IP67 or similar, usually with a drain o…
