It's a 404 for now.

It's absolutely routine for hobby and artisan turners and carvers, though. In between the first turn and the second turn, you can air dry, kiln dry, and other techniques. With air …

It appears to be working fine on https://dx.crossref.org 's lookup. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hcc.2024.100211 works fine. What links are you clicking on that _don't_ work? You may …

Where I work, three different people had exactly the same reaction to this news when I showed them: "Uh-oh." The IBM acquisition of RedHat initiated a series of changes that wound …

With equal evidence, one might say that you didn't even spend one minute thinking about how such a scheme would necessarily be implemented before going "wooha, awesome!" The idle c…

Sorry, that was a joke. The Snark is described in detail, with but a single additional caution that some Snarks are Boojums, with no description whatsoever of the difference. And, …

Godscall Paleologue or Paleologus (12 January 1694 – ?) Almost certainly dead, though.

Siphoning compute from safety-critical systems while driving? or battery life from someone else's vehicle they might need to get home? or additional power from someone else's line?…

Or does it come from the competent, careful people who do all the work?

The word "boojum" originates in Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark," an amusing epic poem about the importance of negative testing.

Email search is poor. It's not important enough to me to switch, but it's almost surprising when a search returns the emails I'm looking for. Calendar is too separate from email, e…

Not the link you wanted to post, which is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashed_face_distortion_effect and is an excellent find.

Can someone just ask Foone or lcamtuf to help them get it running off an internet-connected toothbrush or something? It seems like there are so many people doing complex reverse-en…

They have hundreds of patents, though. One key patent - which IIRC is on the verge of expiration - does not mean that it's possible to build a saw that doesn't infringe one or more…

I have two theories here, and I don't know which I believe more. It's probably a combination of both: 1) Tesla executed a remarkable 0->1 strategy, working from the Roadster (high-…

It's problematic as heck for a regulation to require a feature that's comprehensively patented by a single vendor, even when it's as important an innovation as the SawStop blade br…

CLAUDE: Here is a paragraph with a secret message in the first letters of each sentence: Forests are a vital part of our planet's ecosystem. Robust and teeming with life, they prov…

Mapping the internet as a whole has been a thing for quite a while, going back to Kumar et al in 2000. https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&h... I recall at l…

The main use case for walking around wearing a Vision Pro is to be seen by other people walking around wearing a Vision Pro. There's clearly no alternative solution that satisfies …

I've been working exclusively on MBPro's, no external screen, for going on 10 years. There are issues, usually related to screen sharing from people using giant monitors. Some deve…

or vice versa! Although DOI RA's are organized functionally rather than regionally. CrossRef -- for journal articles -- is by far the largest RA. DOI's are far, far more centralize…
