I despise Blu-ray for this. Why must I be forced to watch a stupid 5 minute ad, for the movie that I purchased, every time I insert the disc in? I gave up on it, and went back to DVD.

Plot twist: China is just goading the United States into spending another shit ton of money into stupid vanity space projects. All China has to say, is that they’re going to put the first Chinese woman on the moon by 2029. Then the American

So.. invent faster than light travel, go to a distant planet rotating around a distant star, to find a bunch of friendly advanced aliens, that will bequeath us some advanced teleportation technology?

Energy is the baseline fundamental for everything. Wars have been fought for this precious resource. Currently we get it from fossil fuels, which is running out, heavily pollutes, and destroys the natural ecosystem. Nuclear was discovered,

Perhaps we can focus on quantum teleportation instead? Solve that first, and then we can easily quantum teleport ourselves to anywhere in the solar system. Then reconstitute ourselves at the destination point. And hopefully your device didn

How exactly would you use a nuclear reactor in space to melt stuff? I assume it would be indirectly right? On earth, the nuclear reactors are radioactive rods that heats up water, to create steam, to spin a turbine, to create electricity.

It’s not the destination, but the journey. Mining for He3 would require all kinds of new technology to be invented. And necessity is the mother of all inventions.

That must be a giant rock that you must carve an internal loop out of. And then, how much energy would it even take to spin such a huge rock? I think you’d need a new exotic propulsion system just to rotate it. Maybe nuclear or a sustained

How old are you now? Or what age group are you in now? It seems like businesses want the expertise of a 20+ veteran, but want to hire 18 year olds, so they can pay them less, and dangle silly trinkets like free cafeteria food in front of th

A lot of people seem to just create YouTube videos of their woodworking skills. Building drawers, cabinets, anything. They just drone away at it, but because it’s so visual, and you get a cacophony of random noises, that it makes for a good

Is Dynamic Dispatching supposed to be the holy grail of OOP per Smalltalk’s ideal design of message passing? An example of Dynamic Dispatch, is say you create a Class object of a person. And you give that object the method ‘jump’. Then, you

What is 1,5 billion? Can’t you folks use decimal points correctly?

This would actually be ideal for a 1-person business. If you pay $25/year, then the guy only needs to find 10,000 people, to make $250,000/year. Not a bad salary. Now, the question is, what type of SaaS service can you make, to f

Ugh. Facebook Messenger is an abomination. Your chats are in clear text, and Facebook mines it for advertisement to you.

I would say it’s easier to just fix your web UI. And if that fails then revert to SSH and the command line. Webmin is pretty useful.

How’s your batting average? What delta do you get in at? And what time frame (weekly, monthly)? I play it for the theta decay. And I stick to weekly options.

If you don’t use Django’s ORM or SQLAlchemy’s ORM, then do you really need to use Django? Like an adjacent commenter said, ORM is ok for simple blog websites. But I can’t imagine using an ORM for complex data tables and relationships with n

Not exactly. QA is all about breaking shit. It’s already assumed that the product has certain features. And that those features work a certain way. But what if you did something else, that was unexpected. Then does it break the system? As a

L33T Code teaches you nothing about building reliable, fault-tolerant, and performant computer systems. It’s irritating as fck that these FANG companies are so brain dead, that this is all that they can focus on.

Anyone here sell puts on stocks? Instead of buying into the market, at these inflated prices, and trying to time it, then perhaps sell puts instead. Collect the premiums as cash in your pockets. And if it the stock falls, then you get to bu
