I reserve .elf for executables for other platforms, like microcontroller firmware.

I dunno, oxygen's been causing trouble recently, and it's not the first time either.

Plastic is almost entirely made from plants much older then dinosaurs, but if you ate a chicken on the other hand...

Of course they moved those massive, multtonne blocks of stone with sound. What do you mean they use pulleys, ramps and hundreds of years worth of elbow grease? That's totally ridiculous.

Power companies average things out.

Now some customers specifically ask to pay the instantaneous price, and those people just turn things off. This has the advantage that you end up paying less during times if low demand.

Sounds like a slow and inaccurate pregnancy test more then anything else, and apparently it even works. Kinda impressive that they managed to figure it out, I guess thousands of years of fucking around paid off.

The number 6 is quite nice. It has a lot of factors and is also the smallest perfect number. Unsurprisingly, it shows up everywhere in a number of religions. People might easily have started with the number 6 and designed the star to go along with it. While it was harder to travel thousands of years ago, people did and it only takes one to bring back a design like this.

We can trace every script in Europe, Africa and Asia back to just three, one from Mesopotamia (3400 BC), another from Egypt (3250 BC) and the third from China (1200 BC). If writing was able to make it's way to almost every single culture on three continents, a 6 pointed star certainly can.

It's just scammers trying to cash out. They know Elon has a large (and gullible) following, many of which see him as as trustworthy and a super good business man, making them easy targets.

It ends up as the usual, a scam investment promising huge returns, but of course they just run away with your money.

It's fundamentally the same scam they use to hack accounts, posing as a rich sponsor and tricking the youtuber into downloading malware that steals their account.

Well, who's living in the house? Certainly not the wheat.

You people realize that most crypto is even less private? Every transaction ever can be viewed by everyone, forever, by design.

Sure, a crypto wallet might not have your name on it when created, but good luck buying or selling any without giving away your identity.

It's mostly that apple products are a pain to use with non apple ones. They even have a proprietary image format so something as simple as bulk copying your photos over can be a pain (each has to be manually exported through the GUI).

Other side:

Schematic:

 

Graphite is normally very soft and slippery, and is even able to act as a dry lubricant when finely powdered, however many sources claim that graphite powder can be highly abrasive, to the point of potentially destroying milling machines. Does anyone know how such a soft material can abrade metals?

 

A simulation based on maxwell's equations and ohms law of a very long circuit, demonstrating how current can seem to travel faster then light.

This is actually the exact same effect as the characteristic impedance of a transmission line, while pulse is traveling down it, the transmission line will appere to have a particular impedance, regardless of what is on the other end.

 
 

I am not familiar with the legal situation this instance's server and owner is in, are there any actions a user could take that could expose the operators to legal liability? Could the instance face problems if someone posts a link to pirated content? What about general discussion of piracy? Or any other possibly legally problematic content?

 

More 2d simulations of Maxwell's equations, this time demonstrating 2 mechanisms of dispertion in a waveguide.

 

RF Electronics (rfelectronics:discuss.tchncs.de) - a place to discuss the design, implementation, construction, and use of electronics operating at radio freqencies.

 

Not exactly useful as the simulation is 2d, but cool.
