I wonder what the Q is and whether these might be used as highly frequency selective mirrors to split out different wavelengths of light, for example for wavelength division multiplexing in some way that is an improvement over current approaches ?
I see from wikipedia that nuclear is a great option today so far as the energy density and reliability are concerned. But there is another option... Time. We could just wait until a better technology comes along.
Why should we have to put up with the risk of a launchpad explosion scattering blobs of toxic plutonium far and wide when we can just wait a decade or two until a better option emerges.
So have they run out of high school students ? Why not just give one of them a raspberry pi and have them program up a replacement. Hell, get 2 raspberry pis and keep one as spare.
It would be nice to see some usable open source FPGA tool chains.
There are plenty of dev boards out there but I found Xilinx's ISE horrible to get started with and while I found Altera's Quartus easier I wouldn't say it was a walk in the park. That's why I got my DE0 nano to do something at least while my papillio is gathering dust.
Getting started with CUDA is way easier, it would be nice to see it reach cuda levels of ease of use and see the same range of books in Amazon and blog articles covering how to do some simple get-started projects.
sigh ! one more story about fecklessness with peoples personal details. I understand they may have stolen a bunch of clearance records, but how many new clearances did they upload ?
I had always wanted a sailboat with an electric auxiliary motor driven boat. But the thought of standing ankle deep in salt water with a large 48-volt battery around scares me, I can't see any way to make it safe. At least with something like a hydrogen fuel cell you can turn it off if you start to take on water.
It's hard to imagine any packet loss on a short point to point ethernet cable. If there's no complex crypto involved or differences in the pumps, maybe it would be feasible to update one pump, capture the packet sequence in a pcap file, and then replay that packet sequence to the next pump using a raspberry pi. I would have thought a suitable "expect" style script could be cooked up... play outbound packets and expect the next inbound packet.
Maybe a chuck Norris body part, fingernail clipping, chest hair something like that to bring the asteroid to its knees. Or simply beam a chuck Norris TV show at it, make it just not want to come here.
Of the predominantly single purpose things, the toaster and the rice cooker are definitely worth the space they take in my kitchen. I can always move them to a cupboard when I don't need them. They don;t sit on the counter permanently.
Assuming it is much faster than an equivalent system written in, say , C. I find it disappointing that hand crafted assembler should be so much faster than what compiler optimizations can achieve.
"/* ugly hack to... */" is a modest expression of pride describing concise, functional, readable and elegant C code in the same way as the term "//elegant approach to..." in C++ describes some borderline-insane misapplication of the STL with the incomprehensibility of perl and the verbosity of java.
Roads could be better laid out to separate nose-to-tail convoys of self-driving trucks from other road users. It always seems to snarl up the whole highway when one truck takes 10 minutes to overtake another. If they could all move along with shared engine capacity that could probably be eliminated.
If they moved the lane barriers around they might create a single central lane that is used for self-driving trucks, have each section run one way for some period and reverse it for the next period. Have the sections end at convenient marshaling points for interconnection to other transport / big cities, intersecting highways etc. or to drop in drivers for local deliveries.

Just 3D print a new one with the right "nationality" on the other side of the border.

.csv is a microsoft format though. It wouldn't have happened if they has used syslog

Well if you can reverse it it must be AC, very low frequency AC

lots of (non-chicken) things can make eggs

They are painstakingly rubbed into the fur of each bee individually.

Could it not also get more RAM and CPU when docked ?
The appeal of the cute fluffy penguin coupled with religious angst about the BSD daemon sealed the deal for Linux.

Leave the rest of the road for human drivers
