I never felt it was any different. The 95 movie was always the more mystical take, for story the SAC series was better, specially 2nd GIG.

So many hours trying to farm cube slimes to get rare items in that game. I loved it.

I don't think anyone that writes regex would feel specially challenged by using the Alt+ | Ctrl+Shift+u key combos for unicode entry. Having to escape less things in a pattern would be nice.

I do remember Earth exceptionalism being pervasive, from the first satellite views of Mars up till maybe Galileo's pictures of Europa. Even today still get that feeling when it comes to the topic of liquid water, where people will poin

I'd think it's also useful for economists and investors trying to factor activity from other countries without any middle-people obfuscating the data. That kind of information will always find funding.

I disagree with the disagreements. We look naturally at the shock value of the violence but harshly reject the shock of a character turning around out of the blue. We never give "good" the privilege of irrationality.

Seismic sensors would definitely benefit from this. Scientists have to get clever to estimate the direction of events when using a single sensor like on the InSight lander.

I think you can barely see the outer ring (R/2003 U 1) in the bottom left. I really hope we get a better look at the moons of Neptune and Uranus sooner than later. They seem to have lots of interesting history.

In the long run an overheated planet Venus style is much harder to deal with than a cold, nearly airless one. Anything that triggered mass plant death and decomposition could do.

The main thing for me is that the data isn't broken down in a way that ends you having to make a thousand requests and collate them. If the client is expected to be able to pull the whole set of data, provide the whole set. There'

I don't speak for everyone, but in the end what bothered me of VB6 was that it was simply very slow. But nothing compares with the joy of loading some obscure .dll and finding out you now had some neat and fully functional component re

Nostalgia moment with the CrystalHD decoder deprecation. That came along the Intel Atom netbooks, one of the few ways we had to bump a bit their austere performance.

One bewildering thing that I think isn't covered there is that old Quicktime video was specified as 23.98 simply because they were using fixed precision. An apparently harmless issue until you tried reading metadata and converting fram

Could it be from a throat mic of someone doing fighter plane training with high G maneuvers? Maybe it just so happens to overlap some frequency.

Nuclear costs should factor in the need to run a larger military budget to make up for their vulnerability in a conflict.

I still have my Samsung NC10, had it running an IRC bot until recently in power save mode with no fans. Opening a modern version of a browser is pretty revealing about how heavier the web has become though.

PHP pays my bills. I don't use it for web backends, it runs automations for a number of operations that glue APIs together, as well as exporting some custom document types and sorting out workflows/data. Simplistically speaking, a

Most rockets these days are pretty reliable. Ariane 5 only had one partial failure in 20 years I believe.

I have a feeling most of our cities would be unhabitable if we had dog ears.

By that logic though, all text formats are a mess because text processors will autocorrect and break the formatting.

> 30hz I assume it was just a failure to record the frame, but it'd be quite something if it was a drop frame from 29.97 video.

What bothers me is, we derive entropy --a blind, involuntary physical law--, from observation of inanimate systems. So, for example, a very big box full of hot hydrogen will eventually cool off. But, there's a tiny chance it may actual

This makes me wish there was a way to tell the browser "Use reader mode to display this site."

Not if it replaces wood products that fully biodegrade (even tho many are chemically treated in other ways). That'd be a net loss, and I could see it being huge in terms of additional mass of plastics being added to the environment.

I guess one interesting question is whether other kinds of chromatin elsewhere encode any information by favoring expression of certain genes over other.

It's still puzzling how to argue about life on Venus' atmosphere with the lack of water. It'd be interesting to speculate about pathways for life to synthesize their own water from the available chemicals.

I wonder what's the margin for raising the center of gravity too much out of the water without risking it tipping, with all that cargo on top.

How do PC sales get tracked when a lot of builds are put together from parts at mom-and-pop stores or by the customers themselves?

I use it for small scripted jobs on my own machine that have to go through a proxy, I start the built-in server on the proxy root and point the script to the localhost address.
