In the past it was more common to suspect the compiler, as others mention here. On a minicomputer I worked with in the late eighties, early nineties, I occasionally found errors in the compiler output. This was a Pascal compiler and because

contrails can be detected, at least when they disperse a bit. And as they linger it's even easier. What's difficult anyway you look at it is to detect the actual airplane, at the point where it's at at the moment. Note that t

Due to the current war airplanes from Northern Europe to Asia are already re-routed, increasing travel time from Helsinki to Japan, for example, from previously some 9.5 hours to up to 13.5 hours.

But there's no physics which can remove heat from a thermal engine, other than shifting the heat to the outside. (Science fiction books would use "heat sinks" in their war space ships to try to hide the heat for a short while

"Clouds also don't save you (unless you have two thick layers to fly through) because this technique is even easier with satellites." This is incorrect. A typical satellite will orbit once every 100 minutes or so (military sp

Look at Railgun, for example.. they're all old, and each season is either on CR or on Netflix, never on both. Same with Index, and some others.

That appears to happen sometimes in the middle of Crunchyroll seasons. Suddenly the translations change. Spelling of names, other things. Jarring.

At least in Europe, if CR has licensed a show or a season, then nobody else can license the same show or season. There's always exactly one place to watch one particular show or season. So, no competition - licensing goes to one, and o

I'm only familiar with Japanese TV.. there, subtitles work. They're actually CC, very close to the speech. My wife fiddled with the TV for a while until she got it working (always a bit of black magic there), and since then there&

The problem is that '.. make Crunchyroll less competitive..' isn't really happening. There is no competition. Even when there are multiple providers (say, Netflix in addition to Crunchyroll), a particular show, or even season

Yes, that the comments disappeared was terrible. Some comment would have early and precious information in some cases, e.g. the existence of a direct precursor (not part of the list of 'seasons'), and tons of other information, no

My native Germanic language has a specific variant of 'yes' which is perfect for when both 'no' and 'yes' alone would be ambiguous. Not sure why not more languages have that. Japanese 'hai' isn&#x27

Ah, I now learned that "One moment, please" means that I'll have to expect to wait 90 seconds.

The bounce demos all show the x29.. I wanted to see the Martini and the WV in particular, I remember those as very impressive at the time (shadowing etc). Maybe I have to fire up my old SGI Octane..

Yes, same here. I've continued to write software all my life, and resisted nearly any kind of management position (except when design was also involved). It's a creative process, and I've also occasionally focused on a person

Indeed - "planet" simply means "wandering star" (as opposed to a fixed, non-moving star). The Earth itself wasn't a planet. Things only changed a bit somewhen after Copernicus.

Yes, this is indeed strange for me, and, I would guess, most people (people not from the US). The only reason I even knew cake mixes exist is because a former Au Pair told me about it, years ago. Apparently her host family was shocked when

I'm also on 6.5, I don't remember the details anymore but I remember that at the time I considered 6.5 way better than 5.x and never looked back after I upgraded.

I too keep an O2 (actually more than one), Octane, and a Fuel around. Plus an Indy or two.

The thing is - what I'm talking about is _not_ coming from a single original document. Yes, the birth certificate is a single document, but there's other documentation where children are mentioned. I looked up everything I could f

Depends on where you live, I suppose. I know a lot about how it was done back as far as my great-greats and sometimes older, because the church records are meticulous and written with a lot of comments, and notes if there's been any ki

Ah yes, the food we eat at home (my wife is Japanese) is quite different from a lot of the food you get when you eat out. And we use way less salt at home, and there are no additives unlike the pre-made ramen kits bought in shops. Lots and

Can't speak for the one you're replying to, but when it's just about the age of 100 it's not particularly difficult to verify. Take my great-grandfather, for example, who died at nearly 100. I have photos with him and my

Some simple mental models: Think of the gravity connecting the moon and the earth as a string, and both bodies are rotated around its gravitational midpoint (which is afaik actually slightly inside the earth, but this still works), and yo

I read an interview with a bunch of different young people. They all basically said "I just click 'yes' or 'accept' automatically". It sounded like they all believed that this was something they had to do in or

Part of it is that so many sites are JS heavy in a way which brings basically nothing to the table.. it's just JS for JS' sake, and sometimes a static web site would work just as well for the user.

I have source I wrote using SCCS as version control, which later was moved to CVS, preserving the commits as well as commit dates, and at some point moved to Git, again preserving commits and dates. So some of my personal Git repositories h

That's hard - I do have scans of most of Byte, but I don't have many of PCW, so it's hard to remember. I still have a lot of printed PCW magazines stored somewhere, but I can't exactly go and look through them where they
