Unfortunately, a lot of B&H's Ubiquity stock has the memory surcharge built into the base price, so it can't avoided it just isn't labeled as obviously. Shipping, usually can be av…

How are you managing multiplayer and permissions? I see in the docs that you can add multiple users and that queries are filtered by the requesting user such that the user only see…

We recently moved to a more rural location that has needed more tools. It is shocking just how expensive and inconvenient it is to rent tools (and even vehicles to some extent) and…

Based on the photo posted by the Blue Origin CEO the tanks are definitely getting stretched (also looks like a slightly different fin, landing leg, and fairing config)

I've had mixed results with this method, especially for folks in category 5 because they grew up in a world where people casually talked about [actual] visualization and they've as…

I also find it really weird as the killer (only?) app for IPv6 is that home hobbyists can run servers with low overhead! Additionally, like a sibling comment notes, a home hobbyist…

NAT for airline flight numbers would fix this problem and improve security to boot!

I have complete aphantasia when awake, but I do have visuals when dreaming. I can tell when I cross some threshold of awake-ness because the visuals of the dream I am having disapp…

College hack nights, geographical meetup groups, contributing to open source projects.

the reference says $1.18 billion just for "launch operation costs" that doesn't include the hardware. Farther down the source cites the hardware + operations as $2.2B/5 launches

std::shared_ptr is reference counted. No GC involved.

The scene in Jurassic Park where owner John Hammond chides the lead geneticist Henry Wu that he likes to be present when the dinosaurs hatch.

Seconding this, if you dropped OpenTTD because of the simplistic passenger/cargo routing (i.e. take any cargo to any place and pay is only based on how far you took it) then defini…

The key to doing this is an email provider that will let you do a catch all account. Every email that doesn’t match a known mailbox gets delivered to the catch all mailbox. This al…

My wife and I have used a unique address for every company/service for 15 years or so (both online and physical stores). We’ve gotten less spam than I expected and from fewer sourc…

This seems to suggest that while the Studio Display can be driven at 5K by a raw DisplayPort signal (which is great) the audio signal is routed over USB rather than the Displayport…

can I ask which Seattle area ISP offers IPv6 via DHCPv6-PD

Can anyone think of a reason why this peripheral still has a lightning port and a USB-C to lightning cable rather than a USB-C port and USB-C to USB-C cable?

I’m always curious about this sentiment. I find gas really bad feeling to cook on. Gas stoves are very difficult to keep clean. The surfaces can’t easily double as counter space. A…

As noted in the other comments here, you are likely thinking of coil based resistive electric stoves and not induction. Induction stoves have no warm up period, change heating amou…

I had the opposite thought. SLS/Artemis is a “new human space program” that includes a new launch vehicle and it is hopelessly unaffordable and off schedule. SpaceX developed one o…

We love our induction stoves, but definitely have had issues finding ones that have good controls. A lot of the cheap units don't have much granularity in heat settings, but the hi…

We primarily cook on induction and (for us) it solves all of the issues with traditional electric and all the issues we have with gas. It can really be the best of most worlds (eff…

Definitely seconding this experience. Induction is great for lots of reasons, indoor pollution only being one. The small cheap portable induction units have a number of tradeoffs t…
