And I think it's brilliant: it says "ca 2010 technology, the good parts". Technically, it's not exactly correct (according to Wikipedia Core 2 was discontinued a year before the Pebble launched), but it's one of the

Root post is taking about an upper bound, not about a precise guess. Context is what makes 100 a more fitting number than 40.

In defense of the "it's security!" position (which is not mine): I think they mean a similar vulnerability could exist on the client side of the API. As in someone sends manipulated media that targets a vulnerability on the t

My impression was that at some point, they went too far with the scientific approach. As in round up all the last persons who had never touched a computer, put them in an experiment and make their success rate as the only metric that counts

Oh, that US series! Never has a book license been touched more gently (pun really not intended, can't think of a good replacement to avoid it). "Yeah, we can't turn this into an at least tolerably good TV series, let's d

It can be both, and there's nothing wrong with that. Could they have gathered a few bucks more if they had taken orders as long as they come in? Sure. But at some point they'd inevitably go "we could make even more with large

I stopped feeling hungry in the morning a long time ago. Just unhealthy amounts of coffee, without sugar or milk. If I eat even just the tiniest snack or sweet, the food processing tract will "wake up" and it's over. But if I

Software using the win32 graphics primitives is just so incredibly fast. If it looks like those, there is of course still the possibility that it wastes time elsewhere (or in an exact simulation of those looks), but it might also just be th

True. Also in the very old days, people actively "went online" at certain times. Dial in the modem, visit the Internet Cafe, things like that. A web community would better be ready and waiting. But then on the other hand, there ha

Fully agree on the easier to read part. But despite all "coffee is read more often than written" arguments, I see a lot of merit in the functional way. There are a hundred ways to write the loop slightly wrong, or with intended be

A moving window would be just like what you already get with somewhat global communities. E.g. hn while Europe and Africa is mostly sleeping vs hn while the Americas are mostly sleeping. As I understand it, seven39 is not so much about only

There used to be train service on that ferry as well. Fond memories, in particular from the time when it was operated with the ICE-TD pseudo HSR (a diesel train, because German railroad is embarrassingly allergic to investment into any par

One explanation why it happened in cars, beyond the direct cost of the buttons: the cost of managing the button sets for all the possible combinations of opt-in features. Perhaps the option space is a little smaller in export markets, but w

State at bootup is a legitimate trade-off decision though: some states you want to survive a power cycle, others you want to reset, and still others you'd want to have a user-configurable default state. Momentary + indicator makes all

Rules made long before anyone would come up with electric-only doors outside a sci-fi fantasy. (OT how many "try to push open that deactivated door" does Star Trek have power episode, on average?)

Thanks. That thought "no PC uses an ESP as its wireless, ESP are used as devices that do their own wireless" was rummaging around in the back of my mind, but failed to really make itself heard. I'm one of those who think NRF

What if the computer peeking and poking memory of its own Bluetooth adapter might be doing so with software running on top of the Web Bluetooth API? I sure hope that it isn't that bad, but if it was, it would still be eerily consistent

And the best way to get from hydrogen to hydrocarbons might very well be processes that merge H2 (from electrolysis) with low value biofuels (usually hydrocarbons with a low amount of hydrogen I think?) into higher density synthetic fuels.

Ah, that joy. Had it crossing the Atlas mountain in Morocco, in a 35 HP FWD car. Low weight and simplicity, that's the key. Yeah, that won't return any time soon. At the border crossing, we shared the queue with two of the five te

"China can currently be easily blockaded" Back in the day we used to add [citation needed] to statements like that. Sure, if anyone tried to blockade continental China (coastline from Vietnam to Korea!), controlling Taiwan would b

Unless you start considering carbon capture: if some direct carbon capture folly exists and you replace that folly with capturing the output of some crops-to-energy setup, then that would surely be a massive improvement over the carbon capt

That was my first thought reading this: if these devices spread too far, all the magic will be gone. Dubplates are special not because they are one of a kind, they are special because they are one of a kind while also being so much more exc

Why? Energy density way beyond anything battery, and power headroom way beyond anything designed for frugal transport. Short haul passenger flights are not about speed but about getting directly to the stopover, without the unpredictability

True. Non-proliferation is dead, killed three years ago. Only when Ukraine gets Russia to the point of a Compiègne Forest railroad car end (remember how much of Germany had been occupied at that point?) there is hope for a future without wi

Boats go considerably faster, as in overcoming more water drag, going crosswind than going downwind. I suppose that adding extra drag with a hydrogenerator will change the maths of that relationship, but certainly not so much that it would

Platforms are does-not-scale hard though: they require mooring and every bit of ocean floor is different. Drilling platforms come in multiple "species", as different as spiders, fish and birds. Roaming hydrolysers on the other han

But is it technically untrue if the start date and the end date are more than twelve months apart and some of the days between those dates saw 18 hours of work on the project? Arguably it could be both, not technically a lie but hyperbole n

There are only so many windy places to affix turbines to. There's a lot of ocean to cruise on. The mobile hydrolyser (not a boat to solve shipping in a quasi perpetuum mobile away, but an energy harvester that focuses on just that) wou
