I think the size of the vibrations is important here. The paper mentions acoustic cavitation, which I believe would only really occur at small frequencies like the ones stated in the paper, not large shakes that you or I would do.


Do you mind me asking how your vocabulary is so good? Mine has shrunken over time and I'm looking for ways to help expand it.


So are you essentially constantly swapping cards that you use once you cap out their bonus sign up amount, so to speak?

If so, doesn't that cause the issue where your points are all scattered across various different credit companies?


There are many headsets much more expensive than that. They aren't as mainstream but for the hobbyist who is willing to pay more for better, they are definitely out there.


I believe it's a UX issue for most. Being able to float images to the side of text versus only being able to paste them linearly is a bigger deal than it sounds, organization-wise. And I know there's the canvases but I'm actually not a fan of those either. I don't want infinite in every direction, I just want the ability to move things around in the way that I want within a page-like document.

Honestly I like everything about obsidian except the markdown, but I know for many people that is it's big selling point.


I often hear of people using Obsidian or other feature-ful not taking and task organization apps creating PKMS (personal knowledge management systems) in then. They often state that linking things together, categorizing and organizing them well, and using appropriate tools to help view these associations that it results in... "realizations", or "understandings"? But I've yet to see anyone mention a concrete example of what they mean by this.

I can use my imagination to come up with some potential examples, but I'm curious these conclusions actually often occur or if people are just chasing some idea, when in reality they just get enjoyment from the organization process.

Either way, I use Obsidian lightly and am trying to refine how I use it, but I'm definitely not "there" yet. I mostly enjoy having a personal wiki basically of any information that I've researched or need to keep on hand somewhere. Main downside I've run into is that I'm not a huge fan of the layout / UI (maybe there's plugins for that) and tables are horrendous in it (I know they just added an update for them recently but I've already offloaded my table-style data elsewhere and I don't plan on bringing it back).


They specifically noted the principles they were designing for in the link if you scroll down, so you can see what their goals were.


You seem to know what you're talking about, so do you have any suggestions for good font choices for programming in particular?


Not OP but there were some decent ones in the comparison box w/ the slider (such as Source Code Pro). Deja Vu Sans Mono is another good one.


I daily Inconsolata (well, technically the ligaturized version). I find it extremely legible, and most importantly, it's easy on the eyes. A lot of programming fonts tend to be too angular for my tastes (I've tried SF Mono and plenty others, and settled on Inconsolata.)

Really, programming fonts are down to taste -- there's not objectively a best one; for an example of that, look in this thread: some people like Victor Mono, whilst others dislike it, and that's fine!


Thank you for being a voice of reason :)

+1 for Inconsolata, by the way, lovely font!


This is awesome. I was trying to do a weather project a while ago, but couldn't find an API to suit my needs for the life of me. It looks like yours still doesn't have exactly everything I'd want but it still has plenty. Mainly UV index is something I've been trying to find wide historical data for, but it seems like it just might not be out there. I do see you have solar radiation, so I wonder if I could calculate it using that data. But I believe UV index also takes into account things like local air pollution and ozone forecast as well.


If this was cheap, I'd definitely ride it for long trips like that, but I'm sure it will not be. I guess I'm curious also what the interior is like and how much square footage they have available too.

Edit, I found this information in a different article:

It could eventually carry up to 14 people and has a cargo capacity of up to 11,000 pounds. To that end, LTA says the airship will be primarily used to bring humanitarian aid (food and supplies) to remote areas that are difficult to access via traditional aircraft and vehicles.
