I’ve thought the same. There are these rock carvings from forever ago around here, and whenever somebody visits who’s never seen something like that before I just say they are probably tweets from forever ago. “This one over here is what so

Check out the Kennedy Space Center website, they always post viewing options in advance. Typically the most intense viewing experience (i.e. the closest, the LC39 viewing gantry for instance) will be of limited quantity, but you can also ju

I can highly recommend a visit to the Saturn V center[1] at Kennedy Space Center, where you can begin to truly appreciate the immense scale of the Saturn V rocket. I’ve been several times at this point and it still blows my mind just how hu

It doesn’t. It has a deduping system, which may still leave you with multiple versions installed if there are incompatible version requirements in the dependency tree. A flat system would mean there’s only ever a single version installed. O

In my soon-to-be 15-year career as a professional software engineer (and several more as an amateur) I've noticed that the common trait of the high functioning teams I have had the distinct pleasure to work with was always the same thi

Absolutely this. We were actually taught basic finances, cooking, cleaning etc when I was in elementary school. They called it "hemkunskap" which literally translated to "home knowledge". I used to think it was useless t

I do this. It’s surprisingly effective, both in actual performance and developer productivity. The one area where it is useless however is for mutating DOM. It’s easy enough to create DOM using template strings, but if you say need to rende

As a former gymnast I can confirm that is indeed a backflip. Pretty good one at that!

I heard somewhere that the military wants to love these robots, particularly for hauling stuff into unfriendly terrain, but the main reason they simply aren’t viable is that they are much, much too loud. There were other problems too, compl

So no second opinions then, it could just as well be noise?

This happens every single time with PostNord, the postal service in Sweden and Denmark. Every, single, time.

Mostly I'd agree with you, but milage varies. I for one have never had anything but stellar support from Apple, but I know people who've had nothing but struggles. GitHub has the best support I've ever encountered, both as

I personally don’t believe this works, and that there are plenty of things history can teach us of what can work in a decentralized and presumably privatized sector, and what must remain in a public (albeit not necessarily centralized) sect

Yes, this is probably the sad truth. You hear officials lament the immoral actions of corporations one day, then sign loopholes designed by BigCo and friends into law the next. Which is exactly why I think the tax office should provide a fr

This. I run a small company as well, and taxes are a damn maze. I just checked the tax authorities website in this country, and there are no less than 121 different tax-exempt health activities – things my company can pay for me, without ha

You're right, thanks for the correction. Very confusing language though, an oversight in editing perhaps?

I wish the spec included a more bullet pointy changelog from the previous version, but at least it has this paragraph: This specification introduces Async Functions, Shared Memory, and Atomics along with smaller language and library

Compelling article, but I can’t help but feel the author hasn’t appreciated some of these games on an HDR capable screen. They call out Battlefield 1 and Horizon Zero Dawn, both of which look stunning in HDR mode on an LG OLED screen. BF1 o

Looks like your cert is invalid, it doesn't work if you drop the www subdomain. Edit: I checked out https://www.oppslist.com which works, and had to come back and say that's a nifty site, well done!

I’ve never worked at Deutsche but I know several people who have and some who still do – the dev team seems fairly distributed as it usually is with the top tier banks. They definitely have devs in London, but a lot of the lower level posit

Well therein lies the problem, doesn't it? The notion that I have to stop someone just to live in peace. I mean, if people have visions for the world and think they're grand and all, that's perfectly fine. The problem starts

Who says it's right? An angry moustached guy in the first half of the 20th century thought for sure there was a master race and that killing everyone else probably was the right path. Another dude (incidentally also with a moustache) h

Airplanes are much, much quieter than rockets though. If you haven't seen (and heard!) a launch in person, I understand this might be difficult to appreciate. Even 10 miles out isn't enough to be ignorable. Also the light – a la

Wow, that's a pretty cool easter egg! I copied the "image" and pasted into Sublime, and there you go: actual code! Very cool little detail, color me impressed!

This is probably the first time I actually recognize the name of one of the recipients: Kip Thorne. I learned about him when I read about the movie Interstellar, for which he was an executive producer. Then when reading up on him, it turns

High cost of living? Where’d you get that idea? It’s true that some things are certainly more expensive – gas, alcohol, dinners in mid to high end restaurants – but other things, notably the big ticket items like rent, are typically cheaper
