Long ago I watched this video that describes Soyuz reentry. I thought it was cool at the time, and I think it really gives context to the occasion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l7MM9yoxII

Interesting writeup. Another aspect to the same thing is why I should pay for knowledge? It wants to be free, this way I don't need to commit self-torture wrt educational funding. I seriously doubt I could have paid for the expertise t

To make it clear, I'm not advocating against feminism and the debate of this topic in and on itself, but us technical people, men and women of enlightenment-era reason "Vernunft" need to consistently contest the growing confl

Then again, us men seem to have put up with it since at least Galileo. Who famously spoke out something unrelated to the current controversy, but with the common feature that the clergy at the time also found it comparably unacceptable. I&#

Is there some scientific data on things like this? I'm really not sure if replacing the made-up imbalance stemming from individual confidence by a new made-up imbalance stemming from rule police is the less painful solution for a commu

That's the joke basically... they took the Amiga approach at simplicity. Amazingly, Amiga's UI primitives were nothing but that. Maybe have programmers get a general idea about what the UI needs to feel like and what events are be

Only if it "plagiarised" other news sites on that same "terrorist content"... :) It's silly. It's especially silly as it targets at the scale of the biggest, while leaving everyone with any budget less than Goo

Yeah. Start a newspaper that talks about such issues honestly, not like those so-called journalistic conglomerates that curate "local" newspapers across whole countries. The issue comes from companies that were too powerful before

But we're still idealistic because at the end of the day, we're not only responsible of what we do with technology ourselves, but when we create things we're always enabling others to use them; be it by giving them away freel

If you have concerns, please add your concerns to the license and contracts around your product. Also, for someone who says "I don't think that's to say I shouldn't be worried about it", you sure seem to take a libe

Besides being worded clearly against a certain kind of data-driven dystopia, it's also a start in the right direction. I, for one, do not expect EU to completely turn this policy upside down in the next years to come.

"The growing fear of irrelevance"? Well duh. First of all, get that out of the way. You are irrelevant, the universe at a greater scale indeed doesn't even hint a proper damn about you. I'm more concerned with all thos

Indeed, Newspapers - printing in general - were definitely driving the condensation of language. The most telling example I once started to read in German and sooner or later gave up on was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Go back a century, and your "objective meaning" per line ratio goes down a significant bunch. Language has never be this condensed, and the number of words to convey an idea never this small. One of the problems in this, though, m

no, really, it's true, I just tried it: 1 / 100: 0.01 1 / 99: 0.01010101 That's just a bit more than a percent of that percent of change, and not a 100% change, as would be required for a 2:98 ratio.

Can we live with real things again and not clickbait each other into conflating issues and harming third parties with oversimplified, inaccurate models of reality?

Good old capitalism cannot stop mixing reality and sale-speak, only if you start taking the "magic sauce" pitch for technical facts, it's no wonder you end up scaring yourself. On that same note, I kind of understand that AI

Unrelated to the topic, the article points out a lot of things about certificates in the URL bar. That got me to think about the URLs themselves, can I set my browser up so it displays the punycode representation of my url?

I find your result a bit surprising. Having the XPS 13 for work and these things are - besides the massive resolution for the comparably small screen - as painless as it gets in my experience.
