In other words, zero BS tolerance is not an excuse to just talk all the time.

Interesting. That puts it into perspective how toy-like the Russian internet censorship really is, despite all the local noise about it.

Nope. Marcus made that tetris game. Me, i was never known in the scene.

Ah, that brings back decade-old memories. Dreamcast was my last really used gaming console. I also made a VMU emulator, but never quite figured out how to run the BIOS - there were two opcodes missing from the instruction set that the real

I'd love to know how they solved the barrel erosion problem. A rail gun is as satanically simple in theory as it is satanically hard to engineer. A coil gun won't have this problem, but unfortunately the magnetic fields are harder

Not exactly. It can be protected from by a multi-layered whipple shield, kind of like what was proposed to protect spaceships from meteors. On the other hand, it won't be something you can line a ship or a plane with, so yeah... Always

Fun fact - "microscheme" means "integrated circuit" in Russian. Oddly fitting. So far i don't like the fact it can't handle interrupts (unless by C code), and that it seem to ignore the C++ FFI completely. That

Is it really that bad in the USA? Over here in Russia it's the SMS of all sorts, can't remember ever getting called like that. But there the difference ends - the "no advertisements" lists tend not to work too, and askin

4200K - nice sunset/sunrise kind of light. And yeah, from what i heard it's the blue light that have the most effect in light therapy.

Interesting. Anecdotal evidence to the contrary - i have a sunshine-bright light fixture at home (600W worth of metal halide arc lamps), and while it does make the dull winter days less dark and gray, it also tend to make me tire quicker. I

> location, and proximity to familiar Bluetooth devices and wifi hotspots That sooo sounds like a very good idea. /s In general, i wonder how would they handle all sorts of changes in people.

> Unlike a human, the tortoise is much more likely to die young than old. Huh? I thought it was the same for humans.

Newsletter might be too big of a word, but i do publish various stuff i work on at http://orbides.org/ You can also find the e-mail over there in the bottom-right corner.

> Up and down arrows. They will take you to the next change, regardless of how small. I meant the whole idea of relatively floating comparison - you can't see the size of the change, just jump over it since the text on both sides is

Call me odd, but their site trips my billboard filters. I look at it and get the same feeling one gets when some ad pops up - "close the tab". False advertisement - their "with no dependencies" turned into hunting for de

Yeah, it's one of the better ones. It's good enough to do stuff, but still leaves a feeling of being severely underfeatured wrt Tortoise. Small things: -File comparison tool is unusable - the relative floating sides make it imposs

Git, without a question. There is the TortoiseGit on Windows which makes Git USABLE. On *nix there is nothing even remotely as good, unfortunately.

It can be done easily, and most noname Chinese phones and tablets have it. Not sure about the modern digital TV, however.

This begs the question of what would be better - to compile your favorite language to C and use something like Emscripten to make JS, or to compile your code directly to JS? So far as my experiments went, a 3000 native score Dhrystone test

About half of the pictures in the article are taken with the lens assembly. Pinhole is good for outdoors and sunshine, but is useless for MWIR/SWIR and indoors scenes, even with my 600W Metal Halide lights. The lenses give the radial b

Funny thing is, i actually tried that as a kid, with the lids from some big remote controls. The world was deep red, and had an alien feel to it, but i had no idea what i was actually looking at back then. The foliage might have actually be

Another easy way to make a NIR filter is to get a couple of black frames of a regular photographic film - it's transparent to NIR, but blocks all the visible light.

Artem here, that's a strange idea. Right now the sensor got a fixed gain, and so exposure time is meaningless. It won't be too hard to add, but what sort of image would there be, with the frame time of many hours, line by line as
