Why does the article say it's 3 nautical miles off the coast? If you just zoom out a bit on google maps, I measure the mainland to be less than 1000 ft. away.

WebGL coded from scratch. Truly remarkable.

Is it just me, or does that look like a drywall screw holding the handle together?

I wonder if they just recently decided to go with the CM4 module and failed to update the specs to match. The video shows them using the CM3 module, which does have lesser wifi/bt …

My only wish for v2.0 of this would be an integrated touchpad so I don't have to use a separate mouse. Similar to a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard. I don't know how many times I'v…

That's not what was said. A "single person" cannot make a lead pencil. I agree. Ask yourself whether the Primitive Technology guy could make a pencil in the middle of the Australia…

I'm guessing here, but it could be possible that the actual heating of the filament is done entirely with the laser, and the job of the heated nozzle is simply to keep the filament…

No, the steam engine started the industrial revolution.

It's not the ground surface that's causing the reactive lifting force, it's simply the thrust caused by the water jets. Unless the ground ends up blocking a jet, the shape and orie…

The car most definitely has software controlled anti-lock braking equipment, and likely has software controlled electric brake cylinders. Both of those things could plausibly be up…

I bought one and played with it over the holidays and there are a ton of OS options now. There's Armbian support now, which wasn't around at first, and it seems to be very stable a…

Full color. But as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it's nothing new. Printer's with this functionality have been around for 15+ years. HP is like Apple, take an existing techno…

Came to say this. I wonder if this hack is widely known, because it seems like this is a pretty clever way to use the Pi Zero in some applications that would be better served with …

Ah, the old "if I've never heard of him he must not be famous" logic.

But is it compatible with NeXTSTEP? I've been searching for a new browser for my NeXTcube.

I wrote that with a bit of sarcasm, but yes, it was hard for me to take this article seriously, even though I did manage to finish it.

I didn't make it past the first lovely sentence. "With a sleek needle nose and a swept double-delta wing with two prominent nacelles, the supersonic SR-1 Blackbird spy plane is the…

Why did this get flagged?

But.... an hour with the car at redline? They joked about it for months afterward. I think even they wouldn't have placed the blame on the aging shifter.

Some of my classmates in college all went to a city a couple of hours away for a weekend, in a not so new car, and the car quit them about half way there. Turns out a car full of "…

I raced Mizzou's SunTiger 4 in 2001, then became Mechanical lead and Project Co-manager for SunTiger 5 in 2003. Mizzou's solar car team changed to a hydrogen car team for the eco-m…

Ha! I think I have a Rose rain jacket from ASC 2001. Was that the last year Rose competed? I forget. I raced Mizzou's SunTiger 4 in 2001, then became Mechanical lead and Project Co…

I was heavily involved in solar car racing during college, so much so that my grades suffered because of it. But for the most part that didn't matter. Most recruiters I spoke to en…

Just installed it on a Zero I had laying around and I'm surprised by the general responsiveness of the UI. Of course, now that I played with it for five minutes I'll turn off the G…
