Crashes on launch macOS: macos-26_arm version installs (with intervention to permit running), but crashes on launch. ------------------------------------- Translated Report (Full R…

Question from a naive macports user. To some extent brew is orthogonal to macports. Is there an easy way to link to ffmpeg installed by macports? Thanks.

Not an average software engineer--beautiful page (imperfect spelling)! Why does detection scale as the 4th root of the RCS? Nice problem for the radiation theory part of a graduate…

This was the Revell 'Visible V8', first released in 1958. https://macsmotorcitygarage.com/revisiting-the-visible-v8/

Yippy! I feel like I'm 15 years younger

This appears to be prodigiously powerful, but has a --dry-run option and support for whitelists. I love the fact that it's a lightweight and verbose script.

Just a few slots down in my YC feed: the benefits of bright light https://www.nature.com/articles/s44271-025-00373-9

Thank you for your website.

A trip to Wanamakers at Christmas (including eating in the top-floor restaurant and listening to scheduled organ concerts) was a treasured fixture of my childhood in the late 50s a…

Depending on the field, 3 Gy IS 'small' (with respect to doses to tissue during cancer treatment, which can be 60 Gy). Whole body doses of 1 milliGy in the environmental biz are co…

Probably from one of the crazies in Dr. Strangelove (the movie)

Phenomenal. Just wish I knew if this was under a CC license.

I like this very much. BUT: What I cannot save I do not remember (quoth the Old Guy). Any way to save these images as SVG. (Screen grabs are less satisfactory.)

Shell dependencies for install? Got: bash-3.2# just package && mv dist/infat* /usr/local/bin/infat # Wildcard because output name includes platform bash: just: command not found

I welcome the new library! I have used a RadiaCode 103g for more than a month. I also have a more conventional NaI:Tl 5cmX5cm scintillator+PMT in my basement with 95 lbs of lead sh…

As noted, ordinary maps may suffer (for example, in epidemiology)from the impact of a very non-uniform population density. A disease cluster then MAY be a cluster, or it may be ord…

I've used XRG (free) from gaucho.software through many changes of hardware CPU numbers and macOS versions. Light and fluffy, for me at least.

As Frank Siegert used to say (maybe still does): "Vi is the answer. Now what is the question?".

Another data point, this time from a retired university faculty dude. I have recurring dreams of having to give a lecture (typically at a graduate physics level, which is what I ta…

Amen. For those interested, google 'percolation theory in two dimensions' to see general results.

I need some perspective, maybe advice. I'm a mild-mannered retired academic bringing up a new version of an anti-misinformation website (with lots of science on ionizing radiation …

The INWORKS study and reports are among the best there are. What's new about this report is that error bars for low doses are much smaller, presumably due to more stringent dose qu…

No. The 'faceting' of a crystal is determined by a minimization of the 'Gibbs free energy' [a thermo quantity determined mostly by the relative energies of different faces of the c…

Funny how often the word recollect has come up here, without mentioning the fantastic tool recoll, updated frequently and available for many operating systems. I use it on macOS fo…
