Question... What happened with Interface Builder on Mac OS X? What made it not successful and why did it end up falling out of popularity? That was one of the features that was championed when Mac OS X was just starting and it was going to

It's amazing how many people believe that aliens are constantly flitting across our skies. I constantly wonder what the psyche is like of people who believe that kind of thing and what makes them so confident in it despite all the coun

Pilots are notoriously bad observers of anything outside their training. They see what they expect to see, just like any other humans.

Most of this is out of a need by humans to feel like they're not alone in the universe.

Speed is extremely easy to mistake if you have in your head that you're expecting objects of the size piloted by humans. Further if you're not triangulating the distance, any claims of speed are just pure nonsense.

There are meteor detection cameras set up all over the country at various universities that record full sky images 24/7 365 days a year of anything that moves. They're even publicly available.

No that's not a recipe for healthy relationships. A healthy relationship is where you excuse others accidental faux pas in the interest of maintaining a good relationship. Only if they become highly offensive do you consider breaking o

I was a longtime user of IRC networks and never saw people care about conveying messages with a full stop or lack of it. That just never had any part of it.

I have a much younger cousin who happens to be Gen Z and he said that it's mostly exaggerated but saw some elements of it when talking to girls. He's a freshman in university at the moment.

Indeed this is really obvious to anyone who regularly travels to California and back to the somewhere on the eastern half of the US (or vice versa). The time it takes for the east bound leg is way faster than the west bound leg. Going from

The one advantage it really has over satellites is how long it can stay on station and still be relatively near to the target. I'd personally guess it's a signals intelligence platform rather than anything telescopic.

Our computers would be a lot slower if they were just a fast PDP-11. The way computers worked changed because the physical reality of transistors don't like to work in that manner.

The "Rust Evangelism Strike Force" isn't actually a thing that exists. From my understanding the term was created as a self-deprecating meme by some Rust users to describe other Rust users. It's not a core policy and bas
