Probably a reference to Rosie the Robot, from the Jetsons.

I would say, other than a tiny minority of sociopaths, we're all good human beings to people we perceive as also being humans. There are plenty of people who are perfectly nice and decent who would think nothing of ripping off a gian

Precisely so you can enforce your views about wrongthink.

Mostly I just want to play it in situations where my phone making sounds might bother people.

Thanks! That'll make me play this game a lot more. :)

This is a great game! One request: there's a way to turn off the music but the sound effects keep playing. Could you make that button turn off all sound, not just the music? Or add another one to turn off the effects as well?

The numbers have a meaning aside from telling the runways apart: they're the azimuth of the runway divided by 10 degrees. So runway 10 has you taking off at a heading of 100 degrees, or a little south of east. This matters because you

They had landed one before, Chandrayaan 1. Edit: but not a soft landing, my mistake.

That's a lot harder than it seems, so, I have my doubts. It needs to not only run fast enough to bit-bang the signal but also simultaneously respond to bus requests from the 6502.

Exactly. :)

I'm really curious how they're doing video. That was the big roadblock I hit when making a Z80 computer a while ago (and what led me to FPGAs).

Look at the ratio of calls they get vs. suicides? Seems pretty easy to measure to me.

Yep. I've worked on great teams that did all those things. And not-so-great teams that didn't. The latter is really draining.

Both have problems. The best system is one where a passing review means "I feel comfortable maintaining this;" too often a passing review means "this is how I would have written it."

I would add code reviews to that. The advent of those was when it really stopped being fun for me, because it's really hard to keep that from turning into "your boss nitpicking every line you write."

On the other hand someone who would leave the door unlocked might also be someone who wouldn't close out the registers. Or maybe there was someone there and I didn't notice. I was sick; I was pretty out of it.

I think that may have happened to me accidentally once: a couple years ago I was sick and unable to sleep, so I went to a grocery store at about 1 AM to buy decongestants so I could maybe get some sleep. Most of the lights were off inside a

Funny thing is I still have the credit monitoring service I got for free from the PSN breach settlement...

I have this problem with ML and recommendation systems in general. I hope this fad goes away soon and people go back to making simple, understandable, show-me-the-newest-stuff feeds.

Well, because the second you look back to the other window and remember what you were doing, it's just going to ding again with whatever their actual question was.

Commercial aviation is one of the most regulated industries in America, so you'd expect that if deregulation were the cause something like this would happen somewhere else first...

For those wondering why this exists: the original C64 PSU has a (common) failure mode after a few decades, where it will output power in such a way that will destroy the C64 (and its irreplaceable MOS ICs). If you find an old Commodore and

It's okay to contribute to their oppression, because they're not used to freedom anyway?

I've never played anything by Riot Games, but based on this article, I think I'm going to start.

This was one of the projects in my Unix class in college. And yeah, it took about 35 minutes. :)

Looking up "organic peroxide explosion" on YouTube was enough to make me very glad I'm on the other side of the city from this place...

Yep. My reaction to this article exactly. "Hm, I guess I get to keep donating to the EFF."

That's a great way to put it! I am going to use that.

How is finding an issue and reporting it "on the precipice of cyber crime?"
