Try bamboo chopsticks. They are smooth because they are made parallel to the grain. There is minimal end grain surface area, so you rarely have to interact with the rough bits. And…

Interesting, but you should probably use a control. Two phones, same hardware, same software. One inside the faraday cage, one outside, both in the same room with the same conditio…

An interesting solution to a challenging problem. Thank you for sharing it. I must admit, I had some trouble following the author's transition from "celebrity" with many followers …

Profit. I use these guidelines all the time in the PDF format for free, and I'd love to have these in a structured format. For $3000/year you could get 50 users access to PDF presc…

Nothing, but I do find it amusing that we're comparing Boeing aircraft with guided missiles. How the mighty have fallen :)

If it could really do that, then it wouldn't be DDR, right?

Came here to say the same. The shipit program relieved a major pain point that prevented me from getting into Linux at the time: dial-up networking. It was a clever idea :)

I use this and this was the first issue I encountered. And I fixed it by making an exception for my home network. Now if anyone showed up with random MAC addresses, well, it ain't …

This is more similar to iVentoy, which implements PXE boot, but is closed source. netboot.xyz, on the other hand, requires boot images to be extracted and served in an iPXE-friendl…

It's not surprising that seeds need little more than moisture, earth-like atmosphere, and gentle heat to sprout. They contain all the nutrients and instructions required to start n…

I agree with you about YAML's treatment of tabs. I still use YAML because there's often no other choice. Python is actually flexible in its acceptance of both spaces and tabs for i…

Even the camshaft-crankshaft system could be considered an analog computer that renders (in realtime) the positions of the valves based on the phase of the pistons. Any car with an…

Hobbyist effort is human labor for the hobbyist's benefit, not someone else's benefit. If the Kolibri OS folks experience unique enjoyment from developing this project that they wo…

Would this be a tiny internal combustion engine?

As a result of using this device, you'd drink only the microbes that are not attracted to your electrode?

This project seems to perform some rudimentary 3D to 4D conversion by rotating the object as a function of time. A first step, perhaps, on the path to inferring entire timelines.

Overlooking the cell chemistry issue... ... you cannot just dump unlimited current through a superconductor. Once you exceed the critical current density, your superconductor becom…

Ooops! I suppose it does not work in private browsing mode.

So it does! Neat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterimage

Agreed. A good error message could help the user make it work.

Interesting idea. Didn't get very far in Firefox private browsing mode... https://imgur.com/LZBMPff

You could probably make it kosher by using dairy-free "American slices."

That "zero footprint" viewer over Citrix is susprisingly resource-intensive, even at 1080p with lossy compression. If everyone used it (say, if every workstation were a Citrix clie…

Ire is the result of irritation.

Other than telehealth, we also use the bandwidth for remote desktops/apps and lossless high-resolution radiographic images. While one might expect this traffic to occur over local …
