It is an anthology. But it's all about stretching our technology to its limits and looking at the societal/philosophical consequences. So, the source material is limited. You can produce episodes faster than technology changes. An

At some point the content will become repetitive and uninteresting, unless you keep changing it. Then, you'll essentially have a new show with the same name. Look at the simpsons, for instance. It's still popular, but I consider i

I've watched only the first episode this far. I'd rank it average in relation to the other episodes, which is still around 8/10 for me, as I like the series.

I think it comes down to how that replacement happens. If you keep adding new chips or whatever it is as your old cells die or get altered by the virus, that's one thing. However, if you download your conscience to silicon and have tha

Hearing the implosion is very different from seeing it. I don’t think it’s as certain.

Also the airplane shell has to endure tension forces, as inside has greater pressure than outside, whereas the sub has to endure pressure. Some materials work well under tension but not pressure and vice-versa.

I think their behaviour under pressure is well understood. Not a popular choice for subs, though.

It's nothing to do with hating billionaires. Presumably they didn't realise how risky the whole thing was. I find it hard to believe that a father was going to put his son in so much danger, if he had realised. We are all working

If they detected an implosion there's no chance of saving anyone's lives. It would increase the chance of maybe finding bodies, though.

Discord already makes it very clear you don't own the data in the platform, but you do have a lot of freedom to moderate as you please.

Initially I thought it would show all changes to a file that were made by someone other than the person running the command. So, for instance, if there's a line I changed recently, it would go down history further to find the original

He's made the ending he always wanted. The "secret of the monkey island" was supposed to be that it was all a park attraction all along and that was why there are so many anachronistic things in the game.

Amazon is not suing him. The state of California is suing Amazon and he is a witness to the case. Amazon is burying him with discovery requests. It's not a crime to criticise a company without evidence.

Better decisions for whom? As bad as governments can be, I can't think of a better way to make sure the less fortunate have at least some of their basic necessities.

Interestingly, many people already pay for Gmail (or rather Google one) for extra capacity. Yet, I'm pretty sure they get the same support experience. I think it's just not worth for them to change, given that everyone seems ok wi

Fascinating. It’s just plain old bubble sort. Why did they choose to do that? I don’t get the benefits of it. If they are going for simplicity, why not selection or insertion sort?

We don't even know if the system is broken. It's not clear whether this was common case or a one off instance that they didn't really have an appropriate form for.

I think you can still fork it if it's not free software, but it needs to be a private fork. I think that, unless they say they are distributing their software on certain conditions, just copyright alone wouldn't prevent you from m

For me the most annoying config of all is the justMyCode flag in the python debugger. I wish I could disable that globally rather than per project.

Why not? Hypervisor type 1 has less overhead, but it's still not quite the same as running directly on the box. I don't think micro kernels would replace those anyway. To be honest, I don't even really see the connection betw

by aflag 3y ago
Hm, if you're making the underlying hardware slower, don't you want the kernel to be even faster though? VMs are much more than micro kernels. It's about allowing the user to install whatever they want in their machine. Conta
