Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

There are many depending on what your goals are. First, pretty much any foundational system will let you do this via encoding. It is a tedious but straightforward exercise to encode the syntax of ...
I'll note that this won't fully answer the question, because I don't know the modern academic scene to provide a "consensus." Maybe that makes for a bad first answer, here, and for that, I apologi...
Short of specialty items you have already eliminated as more than you want to pay, the simple solution to the software, privacy, whatever issues of "Smart TVs" is to make sure that the thing has so...
As you already mentioned in your question, dirt and moisture. A finish makes it easier to wipe dirt off, and prevents it getting into the wood. It also vastly slows the uptake of liquid water and h...
The bits are either bent, or were made (formed, ground to shape) improperly. Straightening bent bits is possible in theory, but likely to prove difficult in practice. Assuming you get everything l...
The span ratings are generally deflection limited for most applications, not breaking load limited. https://www.innovativepanel.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/American-Plywood-Association-Load-Spa...
The key is in the name, in this case. Oriented Strand Board (generally shortened to OSB) means, literally, that the wood chips are (roughly) oriented so that the majority of them have the grain of...
AI is a broader field than Machine Learning. For example, Automated reasoning and Knowledge Representation are AI, but not ML. Most modern AI is about Machine Learning, but not all AI is. Given th...
There is a lot of debate about the "cognitive" capabilities of LLMs and LLM-based chatbots, like ChatGPT. It's common to see statements like "these models just apply statistical pattern matching" a...
What books (or other sources) would you recommend for folks wanting to learn about intentional community building?
So 6 months ago, I posted this puzzle on Puzzling Stack Exchange that was part of my "Filling in an 8x8 minesweeper grid with mines" puzzle series. This specific one was based on Day 30 of the Mine...
The Steam Deck uses a customized Arch with KDE and Wayland. The "gaming mode" is basically Steam running in Big Picture mode, but it uses the minimal window manager gamescope to avoid running the h...
In Sweden (and probably most of Europe?) you simply hand them in for the battery recycling at your local recycling station. People would get shocked if you threw batteries in the normal garbage. W...
Relevant to you A single certificate is easier to manage, rotate, etc. Borderline Before Server Name Indication (SNI), you could only bind one certificate to each IP/Port combination on ...
I've noticed that it's possible to use DNS Name multiple times, so that a TLS certificate will cover multiple domains. Alternatively, you could generate a separate cert for each domain. What are ...
Common general-purpose battery types available on the market today are: Disposable batteries, usually with some sort of zinc chemistry Older, generic rechargeable batteries, usually nickel chem...
What can I do with used up disposable batteries, such as AA/AAA? It used to be that these had to be separated so they can be put through a special remediation process. However, apparently that was...
Charles Darwin more or less spent his whole life proving this theory to be true and it's essentially what On the Origin of Species is all about. So if you are looking for rigorous arguments in publ...
Consider the following claim: In any causal relationship X -> Y, it is always possible to find an intermediate effect A such that X -> A -> Y. This is a claim about nature, not our c...
Science tends to discover knowledge by performing experiments in the lab. For example, suppose we have a hypothesis that a volume V of atmospheric air, when compressed quickly to a certain ratio, ...
How does climate change research establish causality? For example, when it is said that human activity causes global warming, what sort of logic is used to justify this claim? Let's not get into t...
The mouse market is divided into two main areas: Cheap, no-name brand mice that are very low quality and hard to use "Gamer mice" which are premium-priced, use high quality parts, attempt (with...
Where can I get a high-quality, ergonomic mouse with a dedicated middle click button? I use "ergonomic" loosely, in the sense of "doesn't hurt to use all day". It doesn't have to have a special ...
The scientific method is not the mainstay of historical research. As a rule, history deals with events of the past. This is not just in the broad sense of them happening temporally in a past time,...
Historians resort to source criticism rather than reproducible experiments. Well this is clearly not true. The whole purpose of archeology is the "experiment" phase of the scientific method. S...
