BMW is a classic from my time at USAFA. It's a great book and ideal for those beginning in Astrodynamics. I bought it from an upperclassman for 25 cents. Still on my shelf and I us…

well, the kessler syndrome [1] is a real phenomenon and has real consequences. More satellites == more debris == high probability of collisions which can create a positive feedback…

I'm interested and considering getting an amateur radio license. It's not clear yet, but I wanted to get a single portable device that allows for reception of all the most importan…

Not sure what other people do, but I always publish at a journal then put my manuscript on arxiv, or whatever field equivalent, and then on my personal website. Then I submit it to…

This is relatively simple to create yourself. There are closed form equations that can be used for the angular position of the sun, which will be more than accurate for this purpos…

I will say that at multiple job interviews people have commented and been impressed with my LaTeX CV. So it's a plus!

I want to track sex. So far it's been a spreadsheet. Is there anyone else with a better method?

I think what they are referring to is "angular momentum dumps". The reaction wheels have a fixed maximum amount of angular momentum. This is a function of the speed of the wheels t…

I think Blender does have a Python API [1]. I used this somewhat during my graduate school days to do rendering. [1]: https://docs.blender.org/api/current/index.html

vim-fugitive is my goto

I think that 1800lbs is actually the weight capacity of the truck if I'm reading the article correctly. I'm trying to find the mass of the battery to compare the energy density to …

Can also use a router integration. I have a mikrotik and it tracks DHCP clients which I use for presence detection using a bayesian sensor

I'm not an expert and have forgotten most of my aerodynamics classes but I believe it's related to shockwave formation on the wing tips or possibly pitot tubes to measure airspeed …

Another USAA member here. I haven't had to do an auto claim yet, besides simple windshields, but have had several property claims. They have been great. In fact, right now USAA is …

Still protected by the math? All the three-letter agencies already knew they had these tools available, GPG, veracrypt, Signal, etc. Now it's just impossible for governments to who…

So we can determine the orbit using only line of sight measurements of the object relative to the Earth. This is a problem originally solved by Gauss for Ceres. https://en.wikipedi…

What syncing ability are you referring to?

Google photos?

What sucks in the US is that cannabis is still federally illegal. So you if work in a government job/military, or smoke on federal property you can be charged with a crime

I'm also really interested in setting up a bot/bridge with our Matrix server. Anyone know of a bot that will send emails for messages in a room? I basically want to bridge a room w…

The reason it's showing those interesting paths is because it's plotting the relative motion of the planets with respect to the Earth. So visualize the moving Earth in the center o…
