Vienna, ah what a place. It is the one city on Earth where you can find someone who thinks its the best place to live on Earth, while ignoring the fact that the city was built up to house hundreds of thousands of poor, giving them naught b

I agree with you - people seem to forget how terrified we all were, of the Soviets and Americans annihilating us all in a blinding flash, within minutes of the first sirens going off. I recently had a chance to talk to some kids about this

Just, no. There is NO possible excuse for accessing my private clipboard buffer without my involvement - as a result of a direct action I have overtly initiated.

@antirez - thank you so much for your work, and for your patience with dealing with us all over the years. I have benefited greatly from your willingness to share your engineering skills, and you are one of the most respected programmers i

Americans very shrewdly avoid the fact that their state was supporting literal neo-Nazi's in Ukraine. It seems they are caught in a caldron of misinformation and simply do not care for the truth, as long as it distracts the world from

Oh, I think you're being specious if you really have an interest in this subject but can't name a single company that would try to block farmers producing more using techniques from which the company can't derive profit... Bu

Your attempt to cast Russias annexation of territory it has had claims on for hundreds of years as a misdeed isn't really effective. There were actual Russian civilians being protected by Russian forces during that process. There was

Mainstream isn't always as inclusive for things as it might want to be. There could be economic reasons for suppressing the biodynamic movement. Agricultural-science is fraught with misdeed.

I dunno about that. Plants evolved under the influence of the moon.

Don't bother, most of the people with an interest in discussing Russia have not one iota of understanding of the difference between 'invading' a country and 'annexing' it, or they choose to willingly conflate the tw

>Unless we significantly change the game, Putin will keep winning. How we change the game - do these same studies on our own oligarchs. Treat the members of the CFR with the same interest in their financials.

Look, there are all sorts of schools of thought on how these things were built, but none of them were conclusive. I'm not saying it was rock-melting alien technology, but it was clearly some form of advanced technology we are unable t

We'd have seen the magma layers covering Earth already. Mass corona ejection has the benefit of erasing the top layers of things (including civilisation), while leaving very little behind to indicate how it happened ..

Rigorous science requires a great deal of validation. Woo-woo 'energy fields' - okay, sure. But I don't think enough has been done on the subject of lunar cycles and plant health, and that's one of the issues I have wi

Console.app always gets in my way whenever I'm trying to watch the status of some self-reporting processes. I just find it utter junk to use in the development flow - and even for trying to debug general purpose computer issues, its n

It is not pseudo-science - it just hasn't been taken seriously by current _market_ leaders in the agricultural science market. That is not the same as being a pseudo-science. There are a lot of discoveries in agriculture that aren&#x

Mass Corona Ejection is the one theory that I find sticks in my mind most, when the question "what could possibly have reset things so drastically that none of the survivors would remember ancient civilisation?" is asked. Its like

by fit2rule 6y ago
Yes, there are many theories that can be entertained. My favourite is the mythos that, over a hundred thousand years, perhaps humans did evolve to the point they had technology to leave the planet, tidying up after themselves as they did,

Yeah, sure, we could build Stonehenge today, but Stonehenge is not really representative of the monolithic cultural artefacts we couldn't easily build today, and Stonehenge, while popular in the Anglosphere, is not nearly as fascinat

Yeah, no. Its basaltic and granite blocks, literally cut with micro-mm precision, and glued together in a fashion that prevents seam gaps. These seams, in some cases, are thousands of years old .. And then, there are the fused-rock glasse

Yeah, that's a bit glib. A lot of the joints and seams technology in Peruvian ruins is unexplainable - even with modern industrial processes, we would be very hard pressed to replicate the results of some of these structures. Like it

by fit2rule 6y ago
The jury is still out. A lot of these studies were re-assessed and found to be quite faulty - i.e. you cannot bang two rocks together and get a perfectly flat surface with <0.005mm deviation in flatness. Also, there is a lot of unexplai

I mean, the perfect seams of the joints in various Peruvian ruins, the melted rock formations, the unexplained techniques for constructing massive stone structures .. I think there is definitely a case to be made for previous, advanced civi

Apple's custom silicon play is not about the users. Its about the media vendors. Apple can afford to outright buy most of them. What I think they are doing, is preparing themselves for a time when they can own media, as well as the

Lovely thing about the BBC was the I/o breakout that meant you could easily wire it up to another processor and do stuff. For those of us at the time, growing up with alternative systems, such features were a real wonder, and a reason

As a huge retro fan with a collection of over 30 systems, I thoroughly encourage you to pick up C64 coding and give it another go. And for anyone else thinking about this subject, consider this: every year for the last decade now the follow
