I had a 20$ water resistant portable tape player in the 90s with many more holes, buttons and mechanical parts than the iPhone and I could dunk it in water no trouble. Edit: More like in the 80s.

I would agree if it said "most" instead of "any". Euler angles are useful. Just be very careful with them. Convert to quaternion as soon as possible and convert back to euler as late as possible when needed. However, you

Don't worry, unlike the space shuttle, rockets have escape mechanisms. In that specific case, the astronauts would probably have survived as the emergency rocket thingies would have fired and evacuated them far from the explosion befor

Apparently it works better for fever type pain than ibuprofen. When in real pain, I combine half a regular acetaminophen dose with the regular ibuprofen. Works miracle since the two have different acting mechanisms and they are safe taken t

In Canada we still use imperial for construction stuff, I guess for import/export reasons. Oh and Farenheit for water and cooking temperatures. No idea why because I have no freaking idea what a Farenheit is otherwise.

Yes and no. Yes the system is logical and systematic. However, there are tons of named groups and then there are groups of groups and they all have different and arbitrary priority rules. It's actually quite a clusterfuck for what it d

They will just market it as 3D anyway, and why not add a HD too. If a toothpaste company can do it, they can.

Like any 1.0 product. The technology evolves so rapidly it loses 90% of its value in a few years. It reminds me my first digital camera, 2000$ and 3 years later you could get better for 500$.

I strongly agree that naming variable is an effort worth the benefits, but naming stuff correctly is not 0 extra work. As a matter of fact, judging by how many people give crap names to their stuff, I'd it's one of the most diffic

I changed it when they first announced the leak in 2012. It didn't ask me to change it when I logged today and they didn't send me the email today. I guess they know my new password is secure since I changed it since the leak.

You don't necessarily need to get your hands on the actual database. You can also obtain the data through a side channel such as debug pages or errors messages being a little bit too generous with information.

They tried doing the same thing here with a replacement bridge. They didn't like the old name for historical/political reasons and tried to change it to a national hero name to make this clusterfuck of a project more inticing. The

However, the university always had a reason to postpone the courses, just like scammers. In that story, the university was the scammer, always asking for a few more days to "get their money back" and giving them a good faith gift

The problem with Spotify is 25% of their library has that horrible UMG watermark on it. It makes any UMG music before 2013 unlistenable. Apparently, UMG fixed the problem on their side but Spotify don't give enough of a damn about qua

A squirrel made its nest in my shed once. Believe me when I say, everything seems appetizing to them. Just like a baby, except a squirrel will destroy it instead of drooling on it.

Over here, I noticed it is much more pleasant to be stuck in rush hour traffic than off peak. At peak hour, people know the game and know they won't get anywhere faster by cutting and trying to fight for every inch. They tend to stay i

I'm pretty sure if you asked a group of humans to colorize the lighthouse you would probably get the same result. There is no way, from the greyscale, to know that the sky should be orange.
