Try bamboo chopsticks. They are smooth because they are made parallel to the grain. There is minimal end grain surface area, so you rarely have to interact with the rough bits. And they do almost everything you'd want a consumer-oriented utensil to do.

Interesting, but you should probably use a control. Two phones, same hardware, same software. One inside the faraday cage, one outside, both in the same room with the same conditions otherwise.

Repeat the experiment a few times. Then cross over: liberate the caged phone, cage the free phone, and repeat the experiment a few more times. Or alternate the phones' positions between experiments. This mitigates hardware and software differences that might've been overlooked (such as a faulty battery, etc).

Analyze the results, draw your conclusions, publish, and encourage others to reproduce.

An interesting solution to a challenging problem. Thank you for sharing it.

I must admit, I had some trouble following the author's transition from "celebrity" with many followers to "bot" with many follows. While I assume the work done for a celebrity to scatter a bunch of posts would be symmetric to the work done for a commensurate bot to gather a bunch of posts, I had the impression that the author was introducing an entirely different concept in "Lossy Timelines."

Nothing, but I do find it amusing that we're comparing Boeing aircraft with guided missiles. How the mighty have fallen :)

If it could really do that, then it wouldn't be DDR, right?

Came here to say the same. The shipit program relieved a major pain point that prevented me from getting into Linux at the time: dial-up networking. It was a clever idea :)

I use this and this was the first issue I encountered. And I fixed it by making an exception for my home network.

Now if anyone showed up with random MAC addresses, well, it ain't me :)

This is more similar to iVentoy, which implements PXE boot, but is closed source. netboot.xyz, on the other hand, requires boot images to be extracted and served in an iPXE-friendly format, which their CI/CD system does automatically. These solutions are good for facilitating OS installations across a fleet of computers on a network.

But for system rescue purposes, Ventoy still wins. You bring your own boot images, which could be arbitrary ISOs, and don't have to worry about networking availability.

It's not surprising that seeds need little more than moisture, earth-like atmosphere, and gentle heat to sprout. They contain all the nutrients and instructions required to start new life.

It's also not surprising that too much frass would inhibit growth. Even in earth-like soil, too much fertilizer is toxic.

But it's good to know that Mars-like soil doesn't inhibit plant growth.

I agree with you about YAML's treatment of tabs. I still use YAML because there's often no other choice.

Python is actually flexible in its acceptance of both spaces and tabs for indentation.

Maybe you were thinking of Nim or Zig? Nim apparently supports an unsightly "magic" line for this (`#? replace(sub = "\t", by = " ")`), and Zig now appears to tolerate tabs as long as you don't use `zig fmt`. I haven't used either yet because of the prejudice against tabs, but Zig is starting to look more palatable.

Even the camshaft-crankshaft system could be considered an analog computer that renders (in realtime) the positions of the valves based on the phase of the pistons. Any car with an internal combustion engine has "computers."

Hobbyist effort is human labor for the hobbyist's benefit, not someone else's benefit.

If the Kolibri OS folks experience unique enjoyment from developing this project that they would not obtain from Menuet OS, then the labor would not be duplicated.

Would this be a tiny internal combustion engine?

As a result of using this device, you'd drink only the microbes that are not attracted to your electrode?
