I found this book to be quite beautiful. It even says how they did some of the shots at the end. https://nostarch.com/open-circuits

My dog has no interest in depictions of the moon or other celestial bodies as near as I can tell. Probably apes would be similar. I think we're more drawn to the (human) story around the exploration than the actual locations themselves

I read Schild's Ladder as an ebook in college, didn't pay attention to the author... Years later, I came across his other works and realized who wrote that; I too am a huge fan of his works.

Fun fact : gold has its distinctive color due to quantum mechanics and the electron's speed around the nucleus. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_quantum_chemist...

Eh, I feel like you are being intellectually lazy and are falling into the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

That will work incredibly well for the self-driving AI cars that lost control at speed. /sarcasm Not all problems in life have the opportunity to be retried more than once.

Yes, but ultimately physics is physics, and it's hard to beat, say, an electric tea kettle for boiling water quickly, regardless of form factor surrounding the heating element.

It was a common dis-information campaign until reality hit so hard that nobody could possibly support the idea: https://fullfact.org/health/children-can-get-coronavirus/

This optimization of everything eventually leading to everything looking the same is one reason why I hope we don't meet extraterrestrial aliens, although statistically they likely exist, because they probably have similar problems th

It's referring to (unsubstantiated?) rumors from early in the covid-19 pandemic where cell phone records indicated that the service of tens of millions of accounts ceased, thus providing a supposed glimpse into the casualties not being

I use colored indicator silica beads for desiccant purposes and when the indicator shows they're "wet"/green, I spread them evenly on a baking sheet with foil and bake them at the recommended temp, stirring occasionally,

Also just throwing my hat into the ring, writing this on a S10e. It's not perfect, but I don't have any issues with the sensors, no ads, and it generally just works about as well as any other phone I've used.

Ah, thanks. I'm more on sysadmin side for my day job, and didn't even know about this. I'll have to keep it in mind as I've been dabbling with learning a modern web framework and React was a candidate.

The Pertelian? I still have mine and came across the printed instruction set just the other day. Fun times. I've thought about trying to get it to work in the modern era, but there are small and info-dense screens these days.

While true, there are a subset of humans whose age precludes them from having the same opportunities to see it, in addition to those people who are part of the 10,000(of xkcd fame). There's only been 4,885 days in which anyone could ch

Who's using extensions in a work context anyway? I only use an ad-blocker because it's safer from a malware perspective.

Another factor may be lifestyle choices. Not saying you are affected by these, but being older, drinking alcohol at night, or ingesting caffeine(even tea) past, say, 2 PM, certain medications, not following a set time to sleep, or getting w

If you haven't seen a sleep specialist, I'd start there. I had pretty bad sleep issues that I finally got checked out, and after getting a CPAP I have been sleeping better than I had in a decade.

That's definitely some Law of 5's probability field distortion there.

The idea is probably using ISRU(in-situ resource utilization) with regards to local asteroids to save on launch costs. Manufacturing/assembly would likely be more expensive at first until the techniques and technologies are learned(per

It seemed like the outer casing was preserved, so the risk is probably miniscule considering the short amount of time it had to decompose into the environment. 93 grams of cesium was enough to cause the Goiânia accident in 1987 though: htt

I too have an LG. I tried to control it with a Flipper Zero but it didn't respond well. I figure the codes are more of a state machine rather than simply replaying them. I didn't pursue it further though.

The first time(of two) I was exposed to covid by my roommate, we didn't have tests(he later had an antibody test that was positive), but I never developed any symptoms. Who knows, but I was protected from acute illness. The second time

Well, they've directly protected me from disease at least twice. Life isn't binary 100% or 0%, we have a whole range of numbers between the two extremes.
