There is not a single crewed vehicle in operation or even planned that supports spacewalks. If it's not next to the ISS, people aren't going to be able to fix it. At best we could send a robot, which would probably be more easily

I was also surprised by this. I would have expected it to explode on impact just from the residual fuel in the booster's tanks.

If you could produce antineutrons, how would you contain them?

Yeah, this and the similar comment "anti-matter is regular matter moving backwards through time" make no sense

Can't tell if you're trolling, but the video player user experience has nothing to do with what app you're in. It's entirely reasonable to expect a good in-browser video experience. Additionally, requiring a domain-speci

This is kind of the inverse of detecting an exploit - If you as an NPC start leaving notes around the world describing the quest, and eventually someone makes a request to the shopkeeper for the crystal key, you know you have successfully i

Getting really good at carbon capture (specifically direct air capture) could also have the side benefit of proving technologies that drive in-situ propellant production within the carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars. Similarly, this could dr

Do you honestly think the biggest cost associated with this program is the sensors?

This is one of the reasons I love working with fantasy emulators like PICO-8. They impose deliberate technical limitations that force you to find creative solutions like this.

What is interesting about this? An extra data point to indicate that humans had similarly constrained lifespans when people wrote that book?

In Asimov's giant underground cities, robots toiled on the exposed ground above to produce food for the masses. Interesting step in that direction.

The always-on nature of this is the really killer aspect of it, especially when combined with the always-on OLED screen. If something is playing nearby I don't even have to touch my phone to know what it is - just a glance will tell

So the "hacking" part was convincing a support agent to give him access, and the "with a smartphone" part was using the phone to talk to the agent?

Regardless of the shape of the beam pattern, the signal strength scales with distance equally as with a sphere, which is the inverse square law. I don't think anything from Earth will be detectable beyond more than a few light years.

Anyone know if this checks for a DNS record that supports equivalency between the www/empty subdomains? It's possible for them to have different values.

No, I really meant that the scrollbar was broken. I wasn't clickable or draggable and was not a system scrollbar. I'm pretty confused now, as it seems to be working.

The fake scrollbar on the documentation page is infuriatingly nonfunctional.

I think it's a little more complex than that. In addition to rasterizing a large number of pixels, the entire vertex pipeline has to run 45 times to generate 45 projections of the scene's geometry. You're correct though in t

How would encoding multiple view into a single pixel work with a lenticular display? There needs to be a physical distance between each of the views.

Why even keep the unsynchronized RNG? I'm guessing it was more performant when used appropriately?
