The extra bit of the lid houses the antennas, it's plastic to not interfere with the signals as much as the magnesium would have. I do wish they could have attached it better or made the whole lid plastic over a magnesium frame or something.
Hahaha, I admit I posted in part to get the “HN is better than Google at finding things, as long as you claim it can’t be done” effect :-)
Not quite the fabric I had in mind, but those look damn good, really close style-wise, and are on the short-list for the next time I sit down to look over my next batch of clothing purchases. Thanks!
I generally assume crowd funded to mean "created by a quasi-outsider with not much industry knowledge who will make simple mistakes that drastically reduce the quality of the product"
This isn't a group looking to make a potentially one-off product in an attempt to break into the industry. This is a different marketing and manufacturing model that is trying to mini-max the cost-to-quality ratio by only making products that have already sold. Similar production quality as other selvedge denim companies like APC or Iron Heart, and sewn in the US. The fabric they source is often of limited supply, either discontinued or small production runs, from high quality mills.
The Five Brothers Shirt which I was gifted when I was down on my luck and just out of the service was made in a quantity which allowed a friend's aunt to purchase 4 of them as gifts for all the younger folks at her Christmas party that year, and there were quite a few on the sales floor at Sears when my folks took me school clothes shopping each year.
They are still in business, but I wonder what changed when the last time I looked at their shirts, they were north of $150, and now they are quite competitive in price, and I worry about the quality as is being debated in this thread.
Still have that shirt, four decades later, and still wear it around the house, though it's a bit frayed from rough work chopping and hauling firewood when I was younger.
OP mention shirts from the 30s-50s. I’m sure the operation warehoused more as the market changed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the garments 100 years ago were basically made to order for a mail order taking a week or more to deliver. I’d expect by the 80s this had entirely changed.
I'll be testing this weekend, but theoretically yes- multi-tone modes like winlink are specifically mentioned and this release was held until it could pass a two-tone test with decent performance.
Yeah it helps if it is properly formatted and intended to be easy to read. Style takes effort. A lot of us let emacs handle the formatting - auto indent and something like paredit to move lists around. Once you get a feel for how the tools move things it is a bit easier to predict, but even then it takes someone putting in effort to make it maximally readable.
The game has an alpha version appropriately named save_breaker that gets regular if not daily updates. Some of the later puzzles are completely different, the second architecture has been replaced with a more advanced one that includes pipelining, and some new puzzles are still in the works. The new assembler is much more modular and many of the components have changed shape, with some having been removed or combined. The author plans to release it as v1 when stable but who knows when that will be. Breaking changes still occur occasionally.
I wonder how widespread the adoption of steam deck + clones has been amongst benchmark participants (very very good perf per watt, relatively middling absolute performance), that could explain a lot. Not sure where they would end up on the desktop vs laptop categorization.
For a little while before that, CPU performance was stagnant with Intel on top until AMD released Ryzen and Zen, and Intel got stuck on 14nm for half a decade. Suddenly AMD is posting substantial performance improvements every cycle and Intel is cranking up TDP to compete. Now we have competitive x86 processors from two different sources AND competitive ARM processors from two others.
The companies that don’t buy out the first year-or-whatever of capacity on new nodes should still get the same year-over-year advancement, though. Just, with a small but constant delay.
The top of fig 3 doesn't accurately represent a string pulled down in the middle. A string pulled down in the middle would have no curve to it in the legs unless some force is acting on it, it would look like a V.
To me it seems like it's depicting a situation where the string hasn't been pulled fully, so some of its slack hasn't straightened out into the otherwise resulting triangle yet.
Qubes is a Linux OS. It's like if you took Fedora and installed xen on it and booted up some VMs and the windows for them opened within the base OS instead of in individual system windows. Plus some cool magic with the file system to reduce redundancy and how many times you have to update things.
Any plan to increase the dimensions the 3d map can be generated for? This would be fun for motorcycle ADV trips but we tend to exceed the 100km squared limit.
The limit was set in place to prevent the browser from crashing in low-end devices, as the full model is loaded and displayed as a single entity in full detail (in contrast Google Earth etc. uses multiple level of details, depending on the viewing distance).
Server side there's no problem to increase the model size, maybe I can add this as an option.
