Labor Day weekend has always been the back to school marker for me. I'm 60, closing in on 61, and thinking a lot more about what I actually care about. Amy texted me a list yesterday.

I’ve just uploaded to the arXiv the paper “Finite time blowup for an averaged three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation”, submitted to J. Amer. Math. Soc.. The main purpose of this…

Hey all, i just launched my Eink Bike computer project and think it is cool.<p>Another tidbit, in the crazy things that AI has done... It has helped create a ANT (common sensor wireless protocol used in workout&#x2F;biking) implementation for ESP32 by messing around with undocumented registers: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;RaemondBW&#x2F;esp32-ant" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;RaemondBW&#x2F;esp32-ant</a>

Hello. I&#x27;ve recently started soldering, specifically wanting to repair the joysticks on several Playstation 4 controllers I have, but I also want to get good at electronic repair in general.<p>Right now I&#x27;ve busted a board, and managed to desolder and resolder a stick but the controller doesn&#x27;t turn on anymore. I&#x27;m doing this all by myself, and I think I&#x27;m following good advice (ventilation, good iron tip, using flux etc...).<p>But there are many variables, and a lot of experts have different opinions on stuff. Does anyone know good resources that I could use for getting good and making less mistakes ? Thanks.
