Overexposure. Desensitization. Regardless, someone doing something good doesn't excuse them when they do something bad. You can be a civil rights icon who improved the lives of millions of people, but when you stand around, watch, and

The issue here is that people are treating reference materials as tutorials intended to cover your exact concern at the moment. You are expected to know what a narg is and what flargling means. In more real terms, the documentation for scre

Geographically "The West" only makes sense in Europe and Asia. Once you expand your scope, compass directions are meaningless and the term "The West" refers to certain philosophies, political, and cultural similarities.

You can buy a mini pc for less than $550. For $200 on Amazon you can get an N97 based box with 12 GB RAM and 4 cores running at 3 GHz and a 500 GB SATA SSD. That’s got to be as fast as their current build systems and supports the required i

I don't want my government to keep secrets for 20 years. There is nothing I am OK with them doing that they can't be generally open about in time. Ex. the MLK files. No justification for the courts saying that the FBI files regard

There is a naive approach to making this kind of thing that reduces the component images to such a small size (2-3 pixels in large image) that turns this into more of a dithering exercise than looking for artifacts in each component image t

RSA doesn’t take that much code. The Atari lynx would initialize all the hardware, perform RSA, and load the next step from the cart in 512 bytes.

There's a strong case to be made that the impact not only was enough to trigger the extinction, it happened in 1 day. The theory is that the ejecta from the impact was voluminous enough that it was sent into space and then spread aroun

Two observations. First, there comes a point when it’s not ascii art, it’s just dithering. The use of different colors for the characters goes even further from ascii art. Second, opening this on my iPad results in a moon with a black cresc

I went to Canada 10 years ago. When they asked why, I told them I was mailing a birthday gift to a Canadian friend and I wanted to be the one who had to pay any duties or taxes. They had me pull over and go inside. Where they asked the pass

Sometimes by register size, sometimes by ALU size, sometimes by data bus width. But I've never heard of a CPU bitness defined by address bus size.

It's a bit absurd though. The roads are paid by tax payers from the general fund of the city, but they discriminate on how much it costs to use those roads based on where you live. If everyone entering the zone paid the same then it wo
