#Variable
Oh man wait, with Xbox dead and PS5 having awful latency / USB ports that melt under the wrong circumstances, I could see a world where the Steam Machine becomes the tournament standard for fighting games. It's a baseline unlike computers which are too variable to be fair. Hmm.

Despite repeated exposure, D. magna populations struggled to develop lasting heatwave tolerance, underscoring the physiological complexity of these extreme events and raising concerns about the adaptive potential of aquatic ectotherms facing increasingly variable thermal regimes.

I am a firm believer in not nailing down a little age. its a variable

I'm hoping it's a one off. I tried highlight scars on a couple of mine, specifically the arm scars and couldn't trigger the warning myself (I tried three different skin tones and variable lighting).

Episodes of strangulation (even consensual) would increase blood pressure significantly in the head, with variable impact on the breathing. These high pressures could plausibly lead to cerebral micro-bleeds and via a similar mechanism impact your lifetime dementia risk. @dansavage.bsky.social

The idea here is that as the inductance increases, it passes more of the input drive and the op-amp converts that to a nice pulse.

Simulating a component with a variable parameter makes this really easy!

The cool (and simple) trick here is that the inductance of the coil is not specified with a constant value, but is given as {v(/slug)}. This says take the voltage of the labeled signal "slug" and use it as the inductance.

I guesstimated this voltage based on how fast a slug will fall.

Ooh ... fun. A friend is playing around trying to detect an iron slug falling through a coil.

To help with this worthy effort, I suggested some simple circuit designs and found out a) KiCAD has ngSpice built in and b) you can have variable inductances in a circuit!

Yup and we have speed limit signs everywhere: maximum, minimum, advisory, variable, school zones..

Then we also have all the mile markers littered to and fro across the US.

Then we also have all the "x miles to blah-blah" signs all over the country.

All that = beyond comprehension tax dollars.

basically catching the case where a floor grade is too steep to stand on, and then some pushback is applied down grade when landing on slopes, the amount variable on how fast the character is falling and how steep the grade is

Another really cool pest paper just came out in @esajournals.bsky.social! Led by Mia Lippey, we show how variable pest responses are to landscape context... even in the same cropping system!

And one thing the paper prompted me to think of is that the functionality and problems ("error") of noise and bias depends on the utility landscape of the outcome variable you wanna maximize and the effects of noise and bias on variables you're observing on that outcome variable.

a portion of the property and pays rent on the rest, reducing upfront costs. Europe, meanwhile, has far more variable-rate mortgages than the US. Long-term loans may be refinanced frequently, and early repayment penalties are often lower, making the system more fluid. They shouldn't penalize

Pleased to report that Pillsburys cookie advice was bullshit

An aside to all this, they’re using variable width fonts in these which means that a lot of strings can be determined by block width.

Look at Ken Starr’s email block, in some you can see the @ sticking below the bar, and a couple descenders past the @

Someone who cared could reverse engineer it.

I do a lot of ungrading when I'm collapsing a two variable formal Laurent series into a single variable formal Laurent series, and even more when I'm evaluating it at 1.

The technology is the independent variable, the social system the dependent variable. Social, systems are therefore determined by systems of technology; as the latter change, so do the former.

i mean, its a collection of stories, length can be variable for sure
