I love the note regarding the rearview mirror being an actual, you know, mirror. A friend was teasing me the other day for using my mirrors while I backed up, ignoring the various …

That’s great, unfortunately it is quite rare for CS undergrad programs in the US to require the basic engineering and science classes the other engineering/science majors require.

It is funny, almost as funny as an entire cadre of people with “engineer” in their title who've never had to draw a free body diagram, learn circuit analysis, understand the basics…

It’s crude, but you can overcome the degraded quality imparted by gpu accelerated encoding by specifying a higher video bitrate. Find a complex short scene in your cpu encoded vide…

AnandTech was one of the websites that helped me as a child. I found it around 2002, and the clear-headed manner in which it discussed chip fabrication, function, lithography and t…

fyi, if you're uncertain in the single-digits place, you have no precision in the tenths place. for experimental uncertainty, it's always one sigfig

I use Tree Style Tabs, yeah. This is how I like it configured, nice and tight: https://i.imgur.com/fWonbjC.png To get it that way takes a bit of code in the advanced options, and t…

On desktop, FF supports the best vertical nested tab tree I have seen. What I’ve seen on chrome is laughably amateurish with huge chunks of wasted space due to unmodifiable(?) padd…

You shouldn’t approach it from such a detached, cynical angle. The import is as if the OSI embedded senior agents in the postal system during the labor unrest in the US during the …

Exciting times! Any physicist here aware of how these two papers would impact the applicability or validity of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)? background: my lay understanding …

so i put on my scientist hat and started to write a reply going through the mechanics of beating water's heat capacity, first pointing out that what you want for these types of sys…

yes, but undoubtedly the UK's security services know that the best way to pass something unpopular is to recast it as helping children women the vulnerable much like the content of…

this article reads like it was written by a LLM "Anyway, we all already know this because we all experience human life in 2023."

there it is! enough arm-chair theorizing by computer "scientists", an actual material scientists! or condensed matter physicist, or crystallographic expert, or inorganic chemist...…

It sounds like your suggestion came about by mis-reading the parent comment, but I will offer my 2 cents: yandex.com's english results for hard to find, technical terms are infinit…

HN always surprises, wouldn’t have expected boutique theoretical crystallography before 9 am.

Hah, I'm not anti-stew. It's a conception you run into a lot, that healthy vegetarian food is a brown stew of chickpeas. I threw that in there for the skeptical.

no, they are not "terrible", they're not complex proteins - excepting eggs. you have to mix two sources of simple protein to equal complex. good, bad; whatever your characterizatio…

Seeing this response so high up makes me a bit sad. There's a lot of ways to eat vegetarian, and all the ones that I can think of that require supplementing protein and vitamins ar…

While I see you are replying to my comment, you're not reference anything I wrote...

As others have pointed out, the choice of the age range has a significant impact on the conclusions one is able to draw. In particular, this paper defines "Children and Adolescents…

Interesting. I cynically view this (brushed motors with reduced lifetime as compared to brushless, sold as a benefit b/c free of rare earth) as just another self-serving decision a…

Has the list of client companies been made public anywhere?
