Japanese people are the same, to the point that even anime characters have a blood type.

The EU gets 4 million immigrants per year, so what is exactly your point?

Isn't Alpine only used as a base image for containers?

Much like the traditional Unix date format, which for some reason puts the year at the end. Example from my computer: $ date Thu 29 May 13:12:30 JST 2025

Periods as separators are also quite common.

How do you plan to order anything from an online shop without the shop knowing your delivery address?

It is even more complex than that: within a neighborhood you have "chome", then blocks, then buildings. All three levels are numbered chronologically and don't follow any kind of logical order. Oh, and streets don't have

Our first PC was a 486 with a crappy 15" monitor, but I was too young to remember the details clearly. I can consider myself lucky, my dad was a big fan of Sony and we soon moved to a nice 17" Trinitron :)

I have recently been playing with CRTs again, and something that I have noticed is that for fast-paced games running at 60 or 70 Hz* I don't notice the flicker much, but for text anything less than 85 Hz is headache inducing. Luckily t

You guys are ignoring the horizontal and vertical blanking periods, which were usually 25~35% of the active horizontal period and 8~10% of the active vertical period. I could find these two links that explain that the actual signal sent to

Ah shit, you are right. I worked at a medical research center aeons ago so I should have known, but I am still dizzy from the jet lag xD

That is super cool, you should be proud. I took plenty of pictures of all the machines xD

I work for the control group at another accelerator, so we were visiting and meeting their control guys. Super friendly people all of them, they treated us like kings... and their control centre is bigger than our whole facility xD

Because we are massive science nerds. I have been interested in this kind of stuff since I was a little kid. Which leads to the second point... I ended up working at another accelerator facility, so even though I am an IT guy, I actually un

Last week I had the chance to visit CERN's Antimatter Factory, and let me tell you I was feeling like a child on Christmas Day. The ridiculously advanced technology required to produce only a few picograms of antimatter is truly impres

Related to this: don't even offer arcane units or M/D/Y dates in languages other than English, no other language in the world uses them.

Modern consoles provide hardware decompression to transfer compressed assets from the NVME directly to the GPU. Similar functionality is coming to PCs in the form of DirectStorage and Vulkan extensions.

We are talking about space junk, a dead chunk of metal just orbiting Earth until its inevitable decay. Saying that it was "intact" and "built to last" is disingenuous.

For graphics you probably want a quasirandom https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-discrepancy_sequence A purely random function can lead to clumping and aliasing.

Yeah, VLIW is still used for stuff like DSP and GPUs, but it doesn't make sense for general computing.

Spain has 49 million people, which is a lot, but not 80 million. (plus 11 million of Portugal for a total of 60 million people in the Iberian Peninsula)

It depends if they stagnate or not. Japan used to be future, but it got stuck in the past.

Japan is even worse than that, as they don't even use street names. The specific details depend on the municipality, but in summary: - Municipalities are divided hierarchically into named neighborhoods, districts, wards, or "secti

The weird rainbow effects on Sonic's waterfalls are NOT due to the properties of CRT, but a result of the Megadrive's awful composite encoder. Connect the screen through a RGB cable cable, or composite through a 32X, and the resul
