Right... and Panama is not PR.... not sure how I thought of Panama when talking about Puerto Rico... I guess that's what the downvote is for. :(

What about protecting it from Chinese interests? Not really sure if this is plausible, but maybe if you let enough Chinese capital into Panama, they can defacto control it, vs having the US impose restrictions on Chinese capital investments

I was always amazed by .kkrieger[1] You get an FPS complete with 3D engine... dynamic lightning IIRC (!), music, textures... ... in 96kb. Granted, most of it is procedural but still it's a very very impressive piece of code. I've

That's a very interesting article. Especially the part about Lekktor.

Wow! That's just amazing. I can't believe this is a real effect. I wonder how much has this been researched? Do you have any more links related to this effect?

This clarifies things a bit more so thanks. So in short, if I understand correctly, a "clean" run would mean that in theory if you weren't carrying any safety equipment you would've made it just the same. However to avoi

Awesome. Thanks to both of you for the explanation. It's really an interesting take on the rules for sure. I can't imagine my safety mechanism being a postage-stamp sized thingie shoved into a piece of rock and not being incredibl

Very interesting indeed. I would have never thought that the action of resting your own weigh in different surfaces would mean different things. Also, I'm sure there's a historical reason for that (whatever that may be), since eve

if you are climbing and you weight your equipment even for just a second, the whole ascent does not count What do you mean by that? I read it as if using a scale to know the weigh of your equipment makes the ascent not count. If this is c

Would it be feasible to say, install Kubernetes? I've read that a lot of what made zSeries "special" was that they had special purpose chips for a lot of things, from I/O to encryption and other stuff (not really well ve

Haha! That's one very wise law. Never heard of that before. I wish 100 Dollar bills had screws...

by saganus 11y ago
That's a neat idea. Never thought of that before. At most I laid down a white sheet of paper and put the screws in sort of the same shape as I picked them up from, so I knew these two long ones were at the top, the short ones at the bo

That's some serious job right there, just dismantling the thing and putting it back together. I hate it when I assembled computers and I ended up needing extra screws... or worse, I ended up with "spare" screws which left me

This is very cool. However I am wondering, what could it be used for nowadays? I would do some benchmarking, I don't know, e.g. LINPACK or maybe even distributed.net projects, BOINC ones, etc. Other than that? Maybe you could do some 3

Aha! very interesting. I had seen pictures of opened battery packs before, and I definitely thought they looked like regular AA batteries. But I also never thought that it wasn't only the looks. It would be nice to have this same analy

Ditto. Hopefully not in 10 years though, but much sooner. I would also fund such a thing in a heartbeat.

Oh those names bring memories. Grim Fandango, Curse of MI and Sam and max especially. Also Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I know a lot of that is pure nostalgia, but I sometimes fire them again and even finish them up yet again and

Do you think you could've done the YC program remotely via the Fellowship? I've thought on applying but sometimes circumstances make it hard to been able to move there. If you had joined the YC Fellowship instead, what do you thin

I guess you are right. That's part of the reason this is such a tricky issue I think. But phrased like that, I do agree with you that there should be a limit at some point. However being the one to enforce that... well, that just sucks

If they wanted to associate with a sonic boom.. Maybe.. SonicBee or something cuter? Agreed that Boom is not a name I would immediately associate with sonic boom instead of ka-boom.

Well, mainly because I had no idea about the actual costs. I kinda spoke too soon. I just thought that moving that much data would cost some serious money. Apparently that's not really moving "that much data". Wrong assumptio

Interesting data. Thanks! It's obvious that I had no idea about costs. I honestly thought it would be much more expensive.
