The WSJ has gotten very Murdoch-y lately, and continues to contradict their own reporting to push Trump talking points on the editorial page [1]. Nowadays I tend to view them with the same suspicion I'd view a Fox News link. Also, ther

It literally means "the white left" so yeah, pretty much. Also not sure what this word has to do with FBI anti-intelligence efforts.

The center core has a different structural design than the side boosters, which are stock F9 stages AFAIK.

Yes, one of the poorly-understood problems with early NASA missions was "pogo", a propellant vibration problem which affects the entire vehicle: https://www.popsci.com/how-little-vibrations-break-big-rocke...

I once had to write a daylight savings calculator from scratch for a Windows CE system -- its kernel couldn't be updated, and I had to implement the 2007 changes to the DST rules. Good times.

I've heard that it's not uncommon for blue-water sailors with small machine shops on their boat. One story was about a guy making a new cylinder for the diesel engine on his lathe while being tossed around the cabin in a storm. Th

Musk attributed it to low levels of triethylborane—a hot-burning propellant that essentially acts as rocket engines' starter fluid—in the center booster. The center core is a special structurally enhanced model, so I'll give the

Yep. I did this too, testing the network component of my Windows 3.1 game with virtual environments.

A lot of people I think use them to self-treat Lyme's Disease. It's hard to diagnose (and extremely expensive to do so) and many people give up and go their own way.

The OP reports the insurer misrepresenting their in-network coverage. I've had this experience with BCBS -- the list of in-network doctors on the website was wrong. Hard to prove incompetence vs. malice, but there seems to be zero acco

It all goes back to Spacewar. It used a DEC Type 30 display, which was like a vector display except it drew individual dots. Larry Rosenthal made the first cheap vector game system from the guts of an old TV and a custom TTL CPU, to play

We didn't even have a practical vacuum tube AND gate until 1930, and a formal treatment of logic design until 1936-1937. It's doubtful the need for ICs was well understood. And they would be expensive until there was a big enoug

That's great news. On http://8bitworkshop.com/ I'd like to offer some additional WASM modules on-demand but they take 15+ seconds to load. (It seems 50% of the time is parsing and 50% module instantiation)

I see this trend in the U.S. too -- while a used shirt might cost $5 at Goodwill (although it's among the priciest of the thrift stores) a brand-new shirt at Walmart that delints after a few wash cycles might cost $8. OTOH, I have 30-y

If it isn't pipelined, then it'll probably be more like a 286 or 386 performance-wise. IIRC, Quake only had a smooth framerate on my 486DX-33 with floating-point support.

From what I can gather N64 uses a binarized OpenGL display list format for models: http://ultra64.ca/files/documentation/online-manuals/man-v5-... But I'd bet most titles had their own formats to support

My understanding is that the rats chew on the plants to get moisture, since the plants are so well irrigated compared to the relatively dry surroundings. Rats nibble on just about anything.

It manipulates "sketches" which seem to act as a template and search strategy. E.g. for the word algebra problem, the neural net is told to look at the top 4 stack elements and figure out how to arrange a pair of arithmetic operat

In a similar vein, old arcade games might debounce their coin detectors with two latches synchronized to, say, HSYNC/128 -- effectively giving a debounce of a few msec.
