I'm stuck enough in the gecosystem that the storage is of small worry there but good point. It's a cute idea for the main topic - I saw some pictures I'd forgotten about for 20 yea…

Here's a gmail extractor google apps script that does the same thing, but for not $30! function autoExtractGmailMedia() { const START_TIME = Date.now(); const TIME_LIMIT = 1000 * 6…

Sounds like plotjuggler ( https://github.com/facontidavide/PlotJuggler ) could be worth checking into as well for you.

Bricscad (www.bricsys.com) is a professional (paid) cad package that has most of what you're looking for. They're old-school perpetual license folks and they have a fully featured …

If you're ever in Edinburgh, this is an excellent place to visit and spend an afternoon. One of the funniest parts was upon walking in the door, the gentleman who greeted me asked …

Awesome - getting KMZs of 4x4 routes is way harder than it should be. All the Colorado data is there but extracting it is challenging.

Cool site! Any chance of a adding a simple KMZ export for offline use for a given area of interest?

It's getting much tougher to pull this off - I recently had an offer for a cherry government job but it was in southern California. The salary, while competitive for most locations…

Is this for software engineers or actual engineers? You may want to specify.

Book list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/177152.Dan_Carlin_s_Hard... For some reason it didn't get appended to the podcast descriptions

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History (episode 1: https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-62-supern... ) recently did a great series "Supernova in the East" on the modernization…

They certainly haven't made this mistake in any late-model F-x50 Super Duties. The amount that has to be unplugged and shuffled to do even minor work is amazing, not to mention the…

Anybody seen similar hardware out of aluminum or coated steel or stainless that's also readily USA-available? Machining these could be done on a small lathe and single-sided CNC...…

seems to mostly just barf up partial wikipedia articles - big whoop

I actually just drove by that last week - there's a fun plaque out front but as of today it's very junky up there (seems adjacent property owner is allowing their yard to become ju…

Depends where -just found a paper showing 54% of school children tested by sample (not seeking medical attention) in at least one area of Lagos. Probably lower in adults but it's n…

Trial group of 62 patients and no parasite screening in those patients - yawn. But could be interesting grounds for a more significant and controlled study with patients with comor…

The class action lawsuits out of this are going to be amazing to watch. Once the announcement was made, how many sales were done in response, which has now blown everything even fu…

Neutron radiation leads to embrittlement in many materials, so the long term effects will have to be considered in addition to short term corrosion rate improvements.

Keep in mind the IMPACT report is the cost, not the amount spent on fixes. It's still pretty significant though. There's some internal discussion on updating the report but the arg…

Many times software engineers fall under the 'industrial exemption' for most states' professional practices acts. That's how many folks without a PE are able to be engineers - as l…

This actually ends up increasing your likelihood of failure, as smaller parallel lines mean higher operational costs for smart pigs and other integrity assessment tools making inte…

With proper monitoring and a well maintained internal corrosion control and external threat control systems you can stretch out the timeline for non "acts of god" (ie natural disas…

On the contrary, you can eliminate pipe leaks easily - just many areas have fairly lax integrity management requirements for operators, and those that don't only apply to new lines…
