What you're forgetting is it absolutely would not work when you first put it together. You would then begin a journey of debugging which would teach you a lot more than any YouTube…

I wonder how you got that TLDR. He literally said they hired a bunch of people only because they did Elm.

There's a very weird asterisk about it not being considered vegetarian. I would understand it not being vegan with the bun and all, but how did they manage to incorporate meat prod…

Just to give a little context as a pilot: It is the job of the tower controller to decide who uses the runway when. There are often multiple planes waiting to take off, and multipl…

Has anyone actually tried the experiment posed in the article? If I go to Amazon and search 'spatula', I get pretty reasonable results: - A Kitchenaid spatula for $7.99 - A similar…

Unlike the NOTAM outage, a METAR outage will and should actually affect flights. Without weather at your destination it becomes impossible to know if it’s safe to land there. The f…

I would personally recommend trying TFE paste, rather than Teflon tape. Easier to get a seal, less annoying to tighten.

I think the title is using the word 'inevitably' where they mean 'eventually' or 'ultimately'. It's not inevitable that people who invest in Bitcoin lose money, for example, they c…

It’s called premium economy and it exists on most major airlines.

It’s worth pointing out that the last row on a plane often doesn’t recline, so the idea of everyone reclining is a bit of a red herring. That said, you do know that when you book y…

> I went out of my way to feed the Apple ][ video into the luminance pin of an S-Video port for this segment to make the text more readable at the expense of color. I found this to…

I personally disagree with this. I think that instinct is very meaningful and valid, and most people would be better off co-sleeping with their children rather than teaching them h…

Even a flat piece of foam will generate lift [1]. The only requirement per se is that the trailing edge of the wing is somewhat sharp. A more optimized shape would allow the plane …

It sounds like you have never actually visited Iceland as a tourist or resident intentionally. It’s a beautiful place, perhaps not best judged on emergency layovers.

Sabotage, to me, explicitly means that the act was committed with the intent of derailing the project’s original purpose. This act seems orthogonal to the original intent of the pr…

For the record, the 'Feels Like' temp usually takes wind speed into account. It's probably not necessary for the dev to include that factor manually. For me it showed 79F and sunny…

The most wild thing, to me, is how effectively it has been taken over by scam artists. The other day I tuned into a 'startup pitch' show where the premise is you pitch your company…

When they say to tuck your head, tuck your head to the side so you roll over your shoulder. Don't just tuck forward so you roll over your neck. Think of it as putting one of your e…

If you’re thinking of buying a Dymo, just get a refurbished Zebra printer. They’re actually meant for commercial use and don’t have any of these issues.

You could use something like Cloudflare Access to secure it, while it's on the Internet. There's no reason you need to build the security just because you build the tool.

Cloudflare Tunnel will spin up a free tunnel for you even without a Cloudflare account. If you run `brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared` and then `cloudflared tunnel --u…

Hate to say it, but I'm not sure this type of visualization is ideal for this data. Given that the actual clustering is meaningless, I would think a simple histogram would expose t…

> would move no air no matter how much power you dumped into it Fun pedantic correction, it would move air via the Magnus effect [1], but of course it would be orthogonal to the di…

Tesla makes improvements at a much faster rate than conventional car companies, which results in what we might call 'hacks' as those changes matriculate through the other design co…
