Looks like humanity needs some long-term-support version of an operating system, where "long term" would mean 50 years or so (not five or ten).

Well, maybe it's even better than the original concept: now you can consume the product even if you don't have the hardware. As long as the juice is good - why not. They just need to start selling their juice packs to those who do

I always wanted to try to do this with RF wavelengths like 2.4 GHz.

All living creatures occasionally get sick. You don't see a lot of health issues in your meat only because of quality checks on the way of the meat to you, and also partially because the animals that you eat are young.

I recently got a graphic card that stops its fans when not needed. Now I effectively have a passively cooled card that can instantly convert itself into an actively cooled one.

Well, that's easy: you just keep Slack running, but disable its notifications. Then you check your Slack from time to time and respond to all the questions that came since the previous time you checked it. Text messaging is called asyn

For us, winning means stopping their advance. This is not a civil war, there is a clear external force to counteract. What you call "stalemate" is actually a big achievement for us.

I live in a country which is fighting off an external aggression for the last several years, and here "making killing machines" for defence contractors is a noble thing because you are literally saving lives with your work. And it

I have an AVCHD camcorder that is excellent in all respects, except for the fact that it uses AC-3 at something like 256 kbps for its stereo sound: compression artifacts are quite noticeable.

Yep, I'm not about the bit length: 256 bit "should be enough for everybody". But algorithms to generate those 256 bits will change.

Do they anticipate that one day we'll have to move from SHA256 to something else again? It's only matter of time. Hash function have lifecycle. Tre transition has to be done in a way that will also make the next transition more st

Web fonts mean no platform-specific fonts. That's a very right thing to do for a government. Comes at a price of download size, but that's probably still worth it.

Instead of DVD-Rs, I now use write-protected USB flash drives (Netac U335 or similar) with their write protect switches melted with a soldering iron. I know this doesn't protect about hardware failure, but most data loss actally gets c

Wow, "webmasters creating webpages" is something that I haven't heard for a very long time! I'm nostalgic.

I guess it depends on the definition of death. Obviously, full death doesn't occur the moment heart stops pumping. Brain starts gradually decaying when oxygen supply stops, past the point when it's unrecoverable, and to some more

What concentration of alcohol has to be in water to make it resistant to getting stale? E.g. if I have ethanol and drinkable water, how much should I add to get the water protected from the bacteria without turning it into a serious alcohol

The problem of being distracted when coding was greatly reduced for me when we moved to Git from more ancient version control tools. With faster/easier committing and history browsing, I can now make smaller and more logically divided

As a person who is more sensitive than average to sub-85Hz flicker of CRT and plasma screens, I'm happy to see these technologies dying.

I sleep with my Fitbit Charge 2 on my wrist, and I found that the Resting Heart Rate value is extremely sensitive to what happens with my body. Drank a little alcohol? See a change on my Resting Heart Rate value for that night. Got too much
