This just shows a black screen for me?

Is there a reason a capability has to be covered by only a single permission? Why not have one accessibility permission that covers all that and then a bunch of individual permissi…

It depends on the process. Argon/CO2 is used for MIG welding, while TIG generally uses pure argon. In some situations that justify the expense, helium is used instead as it allows …

I'm working on Lightningbeam ( https://lightningbeam.org ), an integrated multimedia editor. It's inspired mainly by Macromedia Flash, Apple GarageBand, and Kdenlive. It combines a…

Doesn't seem to work for me - tried in both Firefox and Chromium and I can see the waveform when I talk but the transcription just shows "Awaiting audio input".

If so, then finding the redacted string would be similar to trying to brute-force a hash (though presumably slower, since text layout algorithms are probably more complex than a si…

It would be nice if this told you upfront how many questions there were - after sixteen with nothing changing I figured it was probably endless but apparently there are twenty?

The only reason I use Wayland is display scaling - with a high DPI screen, many apps are blurry or inconsistently scaled under X11. Given the parade of other issues Wayland brings,…

Starting at an initial density of air, suppose you descend a distance D such that the air density doubles. Now your air is twice as dense, which doubles the pressure underneath it,…

Gravity changes little over that distance - it's more because of the compounding effect of atmospheric pressure (the deeper you go, the more air you have above you which raises the…

An interesting corollary of this is that if you only have a single sample, it reduces to indicating that your sample is the median value - i.e. if you see one item with serial numb…

My understanding is that coal/nuclear/gas plants provide a certain amount of stability thanks to the rotational inertia in the turbines. It seems like a relatively inexpensive way …

It sounds like a pitch that you might hear from an airplane propeller, which leads to the question why airsickness exists if the antidote is ambiently present?

Toughness is not the same as strength.

They do have accelerometers as well as gyroscopes, so technically they could integrate acceleration twice to keep track of position...but in practice it's way more reliable to just…

I guess it could be a family of four if you have two of them and both parents drive.

The trunk in the Aptera is actually pretty huge, it's like six feet deep. What's mainly sacrificed is passenger capacity since it's only a 2-seater.

Theoretically you could do this in Linux by calling /usr/bin/sl or whatever - but since various distros put binaries in different places, that would probably cause more problems th…

That just makes it six times as important!

A big issue I see with this is that it would necessitate a new fast charging standard, which (due to the extra ground connection) could not be backwards compatible with any existin…

Here's hoping that touchscreen becomes available as a component for the 13 as well.

Not sure the range operator is fully specified, this works and seems like it shouldn't: echo "regular expressions" | ./trre "[a:A-z:a]" REGULAR EXPRESSIONS In fact, "[a:A-z:x]" see…
