"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" is getting realer with each passing day. As well as arguing with your front door from Ubik.
Aye-aye sir! Captain on the bridge!
Very cool, but may have some unexpected consequences. E.g., someone can probably use this to synthesize a bacterial genome containing every known drug resistance gene, and this is just the first thing that comes to…

"Never postpone until tomorrow what you can postpone until after tomorrow"
Philip K. Dick's "Small Town" is found!
Well there is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1YrANSmOGY - Not sure if it counts as large, but it's a start.
This may be as good time as any to plug my calculator for finite resistor networks (including grids) [1]. It works by eliminating non-terminal nodes one by one with the Star-Mesh transform, while keeping the exact…
MathJax [1] still recommends this way of using it: <script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=es6"></script> <script id="MathJax-script" async…
The study is based on a web questionnaire, answered by 589 out of 2552 Ph.D. students. The mental health of the remaining 1963 students who did not take the survey is very likely to be in worse shape than of those who…
There is a dark side to this advice. Try calling yourself a thinker, a visionary, an ideas guy, a philosopher. Soon you start believing it, then it gets to your head and inflates your ego (already gigantic to begin…
Someone should submit a series of "boring numbers" to the OEIS. It would include all numbers not listed in any other series. Although it would be hard keeping it up-to-date.

+1 to FILCO, just want to add: Pick one with the letters printed on the sides of keycaps, not on top. This way they last longer. (BTW, my favorite switches are black, then red, I hate browns).
It's also similar to forming words from multiple kanji. E.g. like Chinese "penguin" is combined from "business" and "goose" (not completely accurate translation). Imagine poor kids 100 years from now having to memorize…
They dig it up; they cart it back to their base. Somehow it gets thawed; it wakes up, probably not in the best of moods...
These tiny connectors absolutely must be used with a proper crimper. http://www.mattmillman.com/info/crimpconnectors/dupont-and-d...
Berg Electronics was founded in 1950. It blows my mind that we still use this connector after 70 years. https://www.connectortips.com/breakthrough-contact-design-sp...
The article presents a dichotomy between "web" and "app". This fails for users who consider a web browser itself to be an "app", which is indeed well suited for solving a problem of "browsing web". For as long as this…
Reminds me Philip K. Dick’s short story “The Day Mr. Computer Fell out of Its Tree” (written in 1977). "It had been a bad idea from the start, back in 1982, to operate every mechanism from a central source. Of course,…
