Why would it be outside of Iran capabilities? They are the ones who provided Russia with Shahed drones.

Ukraine completely locked up the Russian fleet inside its bases with the underwater drones.

Yes? What is exactly funny here? This is literally how the civilization works. I'm paid to do my work, and I pay others to do their work. Do you grow your own food and sew your own clothes? Also, did you personally etch the microproces

Nope. I have a bunch of family letters, and my great-grandmother put more effort into writing simple "Happy <holiday-name>!" postcards than some people do for their college applications. And she worked on a farm, and only ha

No, it's not. It's reduced to "I trust people from a respectable scientific journal with 150 years of history". > Sounds like politics in a nutshell. Again, no. It sounds like the division of labor. The thing that mad

The problem is that you can't just verify everything yourself. You likely have your own deadlines, and/or you want to do something more interesting than replicating statistical tests from a random paper.

NSS/PAM modules have to work inside arbitrary environments. And vice versa, environments have to be ready for arbitrary NSS modules. For example, you technically can't sandbox any app with NSS/PAM modules, because a module mi

You can, but it's a simulator and it often doesn't behave like real devices. Doubly so if you want to do something media-heavy.

You can still work locally if GH is down. You can even send patches by (gasp!) email for review if you want to do something ASAP. Apple's servers being down makes it impossible to test your code on your _own_ devices.

If you're using multiple layouts, CapsLock is a great option for the switch key.

Definitely interesting and seems to be a nice improvement over Protobuf. Especially for Python, Protobuf bindings for Python were made probably after taking a lot of hallucinogenic drugs. I like constants, great addition. Things that I&#x27

On the other hand, the NSS modules are broken beyond fixing. So promoting ecosystems that don't use them might finally spur the development of alternatives.

Some kind of an optional/variant type, enforced by the type system.

But the firmware might have the logic to rewrite the block when it reads it in case it hasn't been written in a while.

One problem with canning is actually the material for cans. Without glass, you'll have to use ceramic jugs. They will be more difficult to sterilize and seal properly. Definitely not impossible, but probably not discoverable without th

There are phones like this along the highways. They also tend to use high-power microwave links instead of mobile networks, so they work even with no regular phone coverage.

Your steam engine will likely be less efficient than a pair of oxen. It'll need a lot of wood, water, and will always leak. If you want something truly revolutionary, try the modern horse saddle and horse collar (and bit).

You certainly can avoid a lot of dead ends, but we're still talking about the span of at the very least multiple decades. And the next question is practicality. You can make a steam engine demonstrator from bronze. But bronze was expen

This kind of fiction is pretty popular in Russia. So there are websites and forums that discuss the kind of hand-waving needed to make the stories interesting (I recommend https://www.popadancev.net/ ). And one thing that r
