Feel free drop me an e-mail on [nick] @ [the big G].com and we can discuss. :) Haven't seen ArduPilot before. Since I'm using ROS already, on of my goals is to lean as much as I ca…

Building a GNSS/RTK-based lawnmower. The existing ones were quite expensive, especially when I started out. A friend had the idea to get a cheap/non-functioning lawnmower second ha…

I'm assuming this is some kind of jab at the general propensity of psychiatry to classify most things as disorders, rather than a serious proposal. If anything, I think the problem…

What I wanted to know from the article: The CATL Naxtra sodium-ion battery will debut in the Changan Nevo A06 sedan, delivering an estimated range of around 400 kilometers (249 mil…

I haven't looked much at it since it was called HHVM, but I see it also hasn't seen a release since 2016.

While there are many priorities to balance, having plenty of native species is absolutely one of them. There will probably be some kind of small wildflower meadow as well. In this …

I for one have gotten a piece of land and have begun planting as many edible perennials as I can. Think nuts, fruits and berries. Hopefully it can be a small part in both food secu…

I was looking at a big tech company recently. They list well over a 100 open positions. I reach out to a friend who works there. He says some very nice things about me to his manag…

Also it has been pointed out elsewhere, that previous alcoholics will likely show up as non-drinkers in a study like this, but will already have done significant damage to their he…

Direct air capture, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_air_capture In this context, DAC is the alternative to capturing carbon where you produce it, such as in a Coal power plant…

I didn't fully understand it either, but my take is this: 1. Twilio (or someone else) sends a text message for OTP. 2. This message needs to pass through my carrier (MNO, in the ar…

I tried finding the articles I learned this from originally, but he appears to have migrated to a new blog and I can no longer find the sources, but IIRC Fung claims that this is t…

This seems to go hand in hand with the idea, suggested by Jason Fung and others, that one should fast when sick. If we stop eating, then there's less nutrients available for invade…

Have you read anything from SMTM? Their work has been on HN a few times and they dive deep into the rabbit hole of what causes obesity. Fascinating stuff. https://slimemoldtimemold…

Natural Selection is close to what you're after, my friends used to play it a lot. One of the players is the RTS "Commander", the rest are soldiers on the ground. The commanders ro…

I want to second this. All the answers to the OP that pop into my head can be learned from the How to talk so kids will listen series.

No experience, but the shop ( https://shop.jolla.com/ ) claims "Android App Support" so I'd expect you can run most apps.

The article says in multiple places that in practice, little of the protein was converted to glucose.

While several people refer to gluconeogenesis, to the best of my knowledge we _can_ make glucose from protein, but rarely do in practice. I have yet to see anyone convincingly show…

I think diet doctor makes it trivially simple, but of course, to someone who never cooks, it might still seem though. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/get-started

I'm immediately drawn to the idea of trying to build such a service. I'll get this started on Friday, I know I have some time over then. :D

This is also metioned by dijit, but here's more concrete instructions on how to potentially recover the config from /proc/ : https://web.archive.org/web/20171226131940/https://www.…

Last year the link to Alex's original PDF was posted[1], and I really liked it. I couldn't understand however why it was a PDF, how was I supposed to consume the content in a reaso…
