This is actually getting close enough to manipulate the _phase_ of light! And doing that would allow creating true holograms. Or alternative true augmented reality glasses that are not limited to one focal plane.

The thing is, it's not a _total_ myth. All the widespread standard railway gauges are very close to each other, within about 20 cm.

Go added multiple returns for error/exception handling. It's a solution, just not a pretty one. In comparison, Oberon has... nothing. If you check the source code of Oberon OS for something like USB, a lot of code is either YOLO o

Of course. Problems that existed in 60-s were very real. And structured programming was an improvement over messy gotos. At the same time, software from 1960-s did not have to deal with a lot of error conditions. When all you have is infall

I have this setup, with 2x 32Gb cards. It's perfect for my needs, and cheaper than anything comparable from NV.

"Traced back" is fine. We can trace back the size of the Shuttle's boosters to the width of the roads in the Roman Empire. Insisting that the problems of 1960 are the only thing that matters, and MUST be solved dogmatically i

The problem is that pure structured programming just sucks. It doesn't have a good answers for cleanups or error handling. Structured programming was the answer to the earlier mess with unstructured gotos, but in the process of trying

Yes. And it was a disaster without progressive steering, they quietly switched back to the round wheel.

What other manufacturers? There's Mercedes EQS and Geely. Both are trialing it in one model each as luxury gimmicks.

Moreover, Technique X does not actually provide any significant value. The whole steer-by-wire in CT happened because Musk wanted a yoke as the control system. And a yoke requires progressive steering which is impractical without steer-by-w

No, you can't. You'll need to hit "xcodebuild" somewhere in the chain. It's just that you can offload it to someone else (e.g. EAS Build) or use pre-built apps that only need JS/LUA/Python code package swa

As I said, instead of providing tools, Apple locks you into a shitty GUI application. Thank you for giving another example.

DDoS for sale were not a big thing until Bitcoin. You couldn't transfer meaningful amounts anonymously. And no, lol. There were no million machine botnets in 90-s. You could DDoS the entire countries with a few dozen computers, Slammer

Incorrect. You can (if you really want to) build an Android app without having any Google tools. But even if you don't want to do any crazy stuff, Android SDK itself is just a bunch of Gradle scripts and Java apps. You can download and

I think the downhill slide started when they introduced the "Private Space Peering". It is a wrapper on top of AWS VPC, but it was something like $1000 a month several years ago. It also was gating larger instances and other impor
