Side (but on-topic) note: I don't necessarily agree that building a 49 m tower to make tiny shot balls is "a very effective solution".

Cool I also like it! A couple of things that it should also support (or simply ignore): - shell variables - shell constructs (for, while, | & > ...) - arguments followed by values without space (e.g. gcc -O3 -lmath ...)

If the directory content isn't clear from its name, it doesn't really matter whether there is sensible (and obscure) explanation. In fact, "the developer was on meth" is also a sensible explanation. Anyway, Unix naming s

To put it simply, he predicted that fusion energy will be at the experimental level. For a 50 year prediction this is very accurate . (As apposed to the glowing walls.)

I am not sure that's the point. There are plenty of mirror-less cameras with a manual mode. In fact that's the opposite, the article foresees that in a couple of years, even professionals will use mirror-less cameras. EDIT clari

Hum, the fact that you live "alone" with your wife might make a little difference :) Quoting the article: According to Cacioppo the key is in the quality, not the quantity of those people. We just need several on whom we can de

Yes, and I believe that's a limit of the concept. If you smoke 2 cigarettes on one day, chances are that you are actually a smoker and therefore you fall in the category of people that are more likely to die from cancer. The actual imp

It’s one thing to pull an idea out of your head and shape it into a prototype. But it’s a whole other thing to figure out how that device will get out of your test kitchen and into the marketplace. Hum... in this particular case, the prob

This may be true but this is surely a bad example: Dirac's thesis is about Quantum Mechanics which is also one of the most fashioned research topics these days. So it's either a "result" or just a "fashioned topic&q

If we switched to "futarchy" as a form of government, we would be richer and just as happy. So, what's the point?

I agree that it isn't a big deal but I was genuinely confused when I first read the article. That's why I made this comment. Even now, I still think that it is a bit misleading because they cannot reconstruct the scene from any
