Real-life ‘stillsuit’: Dune-inspired upgrade for spacesuits allow astronauts to recycle urine into water
Astronauts on spacewalks famously have to relieve themselves inside their spacesuits. Not only is this uncomfortable for the wearer and unhygienic, it is also wasteful, as—unlike wastewater on board the International Space Station (ISS)—the water in urine from spacewalks is not recycled. ⌘ Read more

I've been thinking about a new term I've come across whilst reading a book. It's called "Complexity Budget" and I think it has relevant in lots of difficult fields. I specifically think it has a lot of relevant in the Software Industry and organizations in this field. When doing further research on this concept, I was only able find talks on complexity budget in the context of medical care, especially phychiratistic care. In this talk it was describe as, complexity:

how can we concretely think about “Complexity Budget” and define it in terms that can be leveraged and used to control the complexity of software dns ystems?
Not exactly on “Complexity”, more on UX, although I use this book as a reading material for design courses, on how finally the user receives all that complexity with tragic consecuences:

We haven’t totally crossed the limit because the target was not a yearly but a decadal average. However, as things are setting … ⌘ Read more

买游戏机 Steam Deck 和 Switch 该怎么选？
避坑指南来了——先说背景，为了弥补童年的缺失，现在独立的我报复性的消费，目前已经入了XBOX、Switch、SteamDeck、PS4（没钱换5），我从我的吃灰角度来抛砖引玉，题主批判性接收就好~
首先PSV这个体量太小了，我们就不引入讨论了，重点来说SteamDeck和Switch的区别。
【一】游戏场景SwitchSteam Deck主打场景掌机单人（便携型）掌机单人（便携型）适配场景家庭合家欢、本地多人、在线多人在线多人
先附一张对比表吧，在游戏场景里面，虽然二者都主打“掌机单人游戏”的市场，但是其实Switch打得很聪明，在家用主机上面也有发展，有种 【既要、又要】 的感觉。
这使得Switch在游戏场景的适配性上面远远超越了Steam Deck，目前Steam Deck只能支持在线多人，而Switch的场景可以实现家用主机本地多人的场景，也有外出旅行的本地多人场景。
但是这只是 … ⌘ Read more

【The K 聊汽车安全（2）】汽车工程是如何进行人体伤害评价的？
汽车碰撞安全设计主要考量的，就是在发生碰撞事故时保护乘员和行人等道路弱势群体，减轻事故给乘员和道路弱势群体造成的伤害。
我们在上一讲中已经对全球主要的汽车安全法规和C-NCAP类第三方评价规程进行了详细的解读。
The K：【The K 聊汽车安全（1）】带你认识全球汽车碰撞安全法规
不管是什么安全法规，判断安全性能好坏的标准，都是以人为本，从人可能受到伤害的严重程度出发，综合评价，从而给出车辆的安全等级。
那么，如何对人体所受伤害的严重程度进行评价呢？
总体而言，人体伤害一般分为两个评价维度：第一，人体各部位所能承受的机械载荷限值。第二，根据伤害风险曲线来判断载荷作用下发生伤害的可能性。
一般来说，我们按不同的区域将人体的损伤度量区域分为头部、颈部、胸部、下肢。
接下来我将分部位给大家介绍评价捋一捋，针对人体不同区域，汽车工程是如何对所受伤害的严重程度 … ⌘ Read more
