Fantastic work. I especially like the Code view, but when combined all together it looks amazing. The minimal settings seem just the right size and look as well. I need this web page somehow linked up to me in 1984-88.

Would be interesting to see a good write-up of just how much publishers ripped off other peoples work in these early days.

I don't see a way to slow down. So they would be travelling thru that solar system at .2c. At that speed, they wouldn't be in that solar system for long. Imagine this was Proxima Centauri doing the same mission on our solar syst

I honestly thought that the scrollbar didn't work at all until I read this comment. If I put the site on my right monitor, I can grab the scrollbar by just going to the edge. But on my left monitor, where I typically have the browser

My understanding is they went with 800 to 1000 nm (infrared), or ~ 375 to 300 THz. I'm not sure as to the total combined bandwidth of all of WiFi 6 or 7, but 75,000 GHz band gives them a lot to play with.

He's the one that really got me obsessed with hard sci-fi in my teens, with Eon. Followed by The Forge of God and Blood Music. I don't won't to ruin the endings of these two, but who knew you could end books like that?! Quee

In the short term, it is the easy winner. I'm just wondering if getting into much better shape has a large long term effect on the metabolic factor.

I would like to see the same study done with a drastic change in exercise and muscle mass. I have always struggled with my weight. I find that the solution is always diet. Exercise does make me feel better, but doesn't seem to have m

Wow, nice job. I spent so much time inside the Programmer's Reference Guide as a teenager. My copy was completely wore out with pages falling out. Writing machine language by hand on the C-64 is the closest I've ever felt to the

I enjoy learning new programming languages. My favorite that I've played around with is Elixir. But I don't see that ever being used at my current job. The language I reach for the most is C#. LINQ is great and the base libraries

Makes me wonder about debugging in a time crunch. Or intensely learning a new framework. Any of those situations where the world disappears and you come out of it hours later.

Wow, I just finished reading Carrying the Fire three days ago. Good writer and a great ambassador for the space program.

I spent 6 years in the Navy, 4 of those on a fast attack. I would say that it was an exercise in the extremes. There were times of extreme boredom and extreme stress. I leaned a ton of interesting things. The crash course in real world

AvalonEdit, the text editor for SharpDevelop implemented ropes. I think SharpDevelop was folded into MonoDevelop and the text editor there was changed. So I don't think MonoDevelop currently uses ropes? http://avalonedit.n

As far as background checks in California, I thought they were only required to provide a copy if they decide to rescind their offer?

I had more than one refer to diagrams, but it didn't show the diagrams. Example: Me: Explain Feynman diagrams Richard Feynman: Ok. Let’s start with the basics. If we have a simple electron traveling from x=0 to x=3 then we could use t

Agreed. The limitations of the C-64 lead me to learn a whole lot more about the internal workings of computers than I think I ever would have learned using something more advanced. Unfortunately(?) that has been the only assembly that I re

There's a few NSIS related extensions. For instance: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=idleberg... I don't think NSIS can create MSIs. But it can create windows installers.

I've got a few that I like. These two are for those moments, when you look back at yourself and you feel like a complete ass. "How often it is that the angry man rages denial of what his inner self is telling him." "We tend to become like

Every year or two I have a pen crisis and try out a few new ones. Last few years I've sort of settled on the Uni-ball 207 Micro as my default. $16 for box of 12. http://www.amazon.com/uni-ball-Retractable-Micro-Point-61255...

As formulaic as some series are, I wonder how long it will be until a best seller is "written" by a program?

I first thought. Why is everything so small? Barely taking up the left 50% of the screen and the icons for the channels I subscribe to are almost too small to make out anything. Not even 1/4" on a side. But turns out it scales up well.
