I recently had a dream I was back in middle school, as an adult, to take an english test that was nearly 20 years overdue. The teacher giving it probably isn't even alive anymore.

Nuclear war. This may sound positively retro and cold-warish, but IMO we've had way too many close calls in the 80 years nuclear weapons existed, and the quality of governance worldwide only seems to decline. Neither the United States

FYI I can't find a video of it hovering more than about twelve feet off the ground. Seems it's got a long way to go.

Probably should consider crash recovery as a second line of defense against lost data, not the primary line of defense. What are the stats on how often crash recovery failed?

Something you should know is that it's always a little stronger than it says on the package. I cut a "10mg" gummy in half my first time. Had a wild panic attack. I later look at the receipt, each gummy is actually 11.2g, so I

On mobile, I frequently bump the "flag" button by mistake. Often it happens quick and I don't notice it. I once checked my list of flagged topics and they were all pretty anodyne, inoffensive, constructively posted links I do

Horrendous. If more people took seriously the idea they could be incarcerated on clerical errors, perhaps we would see long-overdue and long-needed reforms in our justice system.

If neither the Windows 8 machine nor the Windows 3.11 machine are networked with any path to the internet, they can limp along for quite some time without replacement. The bigger worry is this ancient hardware blowing a cap and leaving you

Sounds very similar to how I grew up (1990s-2000s). Almost no form of mainstream media was restricted in our house but I would get regular warnings that if I was imitating unsavory behaviour in media (this was when "violence in media&q

I'm assuming the source is just ordinary background radiation. I'm wondering if, at such low levels, the geiger counter can accurately determine it enough to get a truly random output (as opposed to, some internal squelch on the u

WASM and WebGPU are closing the performance gaps between browser and native. It's getting to the point where if it's not a device driver, it can probably be recompiled for use client-side in the browser.

No, you would need to seek and load from the CD while moving around in the level. The N64 can do that almost instantaneously from the cartridge.
