#1) The need for a large ellipse of flat plains with a minimal amount of hazardous rocks/slopes. Landing accuracy is constrained by our knowledge of the Martian atmosphere. Odd features tend to be on the opposite end of the ground haza

> originally REST was all about self-reporting and discoverability I don't think this is accurate. Discoverability was the bonus score piece, the most fundamental parts were statelessness and caching. A lot of grievances in early we

As someone that grew through the 00's — I commend the ability to package the feeling of the era into a style, and some of the things back then (like your first time opening a Basic interpreter) were neat... but, boy, the cliparts and E

Our Moon has "sort of" dust storms of ionized dust. They are driven by electric charge from ionizing solar wind rather than an actual atmosphere.

I reckon with Amazon IPs being thrown indiscriminately in the bucket with Telegram they aren't keen to seeing a repeat of the same situation.

I almost added autocorrection to a translation pipeline once. Curated a subset of unambiguous safe cases to reduce the manual workload. I parked it away because I didn't see a way to reliably convey this was just lowering the number of

Same here. Even soldering and replacing switches couldn't keep it going. The switches had a thin metal contact that has to bend to close the circuit and it'd just break after little use.

I just wish irssi supported other scripting languages. I don't particularly dislike Perl and it's not like it needs to do very complex stuff, but it'd be fun to tinker with it with my language of choice.

In the whole area. Where I spent time people still use coal heating and you had garbage pick up once a week (and you had to tip), so even tho burning garbage in the stove is illegal you surely knew when a neighbor was doing it. Part of my c

It was a lot harder to be discouraged as a young adult. Some year you'd feel you were outgrowing your happy QBasic hacking and pick up a massively thick Turbo Pascal book and feel a bit humbled, but that was once in a blue moon. Now yo

That'd be survivor bias. My average jeans a decade or two ago would start tearing off at the buttonhole or taint seam after a year or so.

The landing pads were different in the preview, so it indeed looked like it was the same image. Also, no 3D/misalignment effect from cross-eyeing them.

My understanding is it's anything that can make a running process mis-train the CPU core and read the values back. Consider, for example, shared hosts without separate process pools, running code from different users with the same inte

It doesn't look that hard, and in any case, we will suffer the mitigation consequences either way.

I don't think a lot of people speaking of free market have a deep knowledge about it. Arguing in that direction puts them in the uncomfortable situation of not having the words together to defend their side of the argument. Try some ti

PHP 7+ hasn't added that much in terms of new APIs — (e.g. libsodium in 7.2, and it's typical function(target, arguments) stuff). It added strict typing and a very significant bunch of ergonomic/performance changes. I'd
