For the past 10 years, I've worn a slide rule every day. It's a small circular one modeled after the E6B aviation slide rule, with markers for common aviation conversions.

Thanks to the open source nature of the Arduino ecosystem, you can make it so!

Ars longa, vita brevis

It's also because the cars are getting so much taller, especially in the US. Driving a smaller car is terrifying when a lifted Dodge fitted with anti-aircraft spotlights blinds you while going the opposite direction.

Absolutely. Our disposable society is a privilege for those who can afford it and an absolute curse for those who can't.

The biggest pains of film scanning are in the post process color balance and dust removal. Unless this can improve those parts of the workflow, it's only going to be a minor improvement. I like the continuous reel movement of this scanner vs a flatbed though, that can improve the physical workflow quite a bit.

'git bisect run' is probably one of the most important software tools ever.

Muay Thai is murder on the joints. BJJ, with its focus on ground-work is much easier on my nearly 50-year-old joint.s

Wrestling is fun and it causes less damage than repeated blows to the head (CTE's are terrible).

In house delivery has existed for a lot of business for a long time. For instance, nearly every pizza store would do delivery themselves. Many still do. However those services didn't introduce a middleman between you, the store, and the driver who extracted money from all 3.

When you operate a delivery service for your restaurant, there's A lot of overhead. You have to strike a balance between paying deliverers their wages, and timely service for your customers. If you mismatch your number of deliverers to the business you have for the day, then you're either throwing away money, or making your customers wait a very long time for their food, which also may have knock-on effects in the kitchen, if you don't want the food to be cold, you might need to wait to start preparing it until your delivery guy is on the way back from his route. Outsourcing delivery to a delivery company seems like a win from restaurants, which is probably why so many have signed up for it.

And yet despite all the supposed barriers the most hole in the wall pizza joints had decent delivery service.

And the pizza arrived hot because they had an insulated pizza carrier. The good old days.

And also pizza places were very fickle with where they'd deliver to preserve that level of service.

True, there was a smaller service area. Luckily I lived in NJ so you could throw a rock and hit 3 pizza shops.

Matlab deliberately notes that its matrices are laid out like this since most matrix operations occur on columns, a whole column can be loaded on a cache line.

It makes fantastic sense in Texas too because air conditioning is such a high portion of demand. Clean energy production reaches its peak at midday when everyone has their AC going flat out.
