Okay as a tool to create tutorials or lessons this is pretty cool. It was not clear from the title and home page that this is the target but looking at the demo video makes this clear.
As a tool to actually document code however as the title suggests this would be a terrible, terrible idea. No code comments or commit messages except a link to a video hosted on a website that may become broken or simply shut down at any time in the future? No thanks. What if I take 2 hours to write 10 lines of code, do I expect people who come after me to watch a 2 hour long video to understand what I was doing? It would also make public a mental process that may be messy, and maybe cause a similar effect to being watched over your shoulder while you code. Not to mention the usual problems of video like low consumption speed, linearity, and non-searchability.
According to A. Einstein you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between two inertial frames of reference. Physics would behave exactly the same. So if you don't hit your exhaust in the first instance you won't in the other either.
They did use robots leftover from the Lunokhod lunar exploration program and a robot sent by West Germany, however the radiation level was so high that they failed almost immediately. They had to resort to using "biorobots", as they cynically called the soldiers used to clean up the site. I'm not sure if modern robots would fare any better due to their higher complexity and use of lots of electronics which is sensitive to radiation.
This has nothing to do with presumption of innocence. Presumption of innocence means that you are considered innocent until legally proven guilty in court. It is a very fundamental value of a democratic justice system that guarantees that you can defend yourself of accusations and you are free of the arbitrariness of prosecutors and public opinion. If you undermine that out of an emotional reaction to some event you risk creating much more harm, by sending many innocents in jail and generally instilling distrust in the society, than you will prevent.
Also, what do you propose? If it is not necessary to be declared legally guilty anymore, then what? The color of your skin? The mood of the prosecutor and judge? The number of times you are presented before the court? What if the cops don't like you? What if you are accused without proof and without mean to exonerate yourself?
The cases you describe of people committing 47 offenses (with no conviction you say, so the justice system decided that they were not actually offenses, Yet you are here claiming that they are without any knowledge of the facts) and then going to kill someone are very very rare. You can't have a 100% failure-proof system without complete totalitarian control over everyone in the population. Many of these people are just insane, they're not the organized terrorist group types, and the justice system is not equipped to deal with mental health issues. When it tries you end up with people in psychiatric internment for years and years without trial and with little recourse, which is another tragedy.
You don't need to recreate a full planet-sized magnetic field for that, you can more feasibly put a much smaller dipole at the L1 Lagrange point that will deflect the solar wind sufficiently so that it avoids Mars.
Yes. I suspect a large part of why so many shows fail according to Netflix is that people have already been bitten once or more by cancelled shows and they'll now wait for a few seasons to see if the show is rolling before watching. It's a downward spiral and either it keeps on until Netflix's demise, or they break out of it by committing on their shows.
Since you seem intent on being a reference usenet archive I think it's important to preserve the integrity of the original material. Moderating posts 20 or 30 years after the fact seems ill advised. If you modify the content in any way, at least put a prominent notice so that people don't get confused by the website name.
Also, it seems that your parsing process strips headers and that you don't keep the raw messages, however I remember that on some newsgroups people used to pass secret messages in headers that only those "in the know" would look for, it would be a shame to lose that. Access to posts in raw format would be nice in this scenario.
Microchip need to realize that they're selling chips, not software. The barrier to entry should be as low as possible, providing a free, developer-friendly tool chain to attract hobbyists. Instead they treat software as another IP that should be milked. The unbearable developer experience actually drove me away from they PIC microcontrollers towards AVR many years ago. It's pretty obvious to me that the success of the AVR is in large part due to the open tool chain. Microchip makes very nice chips, I'd like to use them but they're handicapped by the obnoxious tools. It's unfortunate that they solved that problem by outright buying Atmel but not changing their own practices.
From the picture it looks like we're seeing M51 from the "top", does that mean that the planet is orbiting the star system at a right angle from the galaxy plane? Isn't that unusual?
So this is a very simple circuit. Basically a microphone amplifier directly connected to some earphones with a volume knob. No frequency control of any kind. I'm wondering why this sort of device is not already available like loupe type glasses that we can easily find. I'm thinking this has something to do with legislation and maximum allowed earphone sound levels? Or maybe it is too crude to be actually useful?
Do you have a study of this idea? At first glance it seems that the problems of fermentation, transportation, and resources needed to produce at that scale would be too large to overcome.
The only solution is to stop releasing CO2. There is nothing else that will save us. How much desert would we need to "green" to compensate the emissions? Where do we find the resources to do so, knowing that we must also cease to emit more CO2?
Your comment is puzzling. It is true that there is nothing we can realistically do about the CO2 that is already in the atmosphere. Whoever lives on this planet will have to deal with it for thousands of years. But we can do something about the CO2 that has not yet been released. The question is not to go back to pre-industrial levels, but to prevent Earth to become an unlivable hell within the next 80 years.
We are on a trajectory to increase the average temperature of the planet by as much, if not more, than from the last ice age to now, when so much of the oceans were frozen than the sea level was 120m lower than it is today and northern Europe and America were covered with several kilometers of ice. And so within one century. When we reach that point forests won't even be able to grow. That's the scale of problem we should be facing. The ideas you propose are just a distraction.
I think the point is resiliency. The real world is resilient. In the face of massive threats to the infrastructure people will find new ways and keep living. But the average webapp is not resilient. If one out of 3700 libraries breaks then the whole thing can go down. A webapp is a very complex and rigid machine, it does not have the organic nature needed to be resilient. Making it simpler makes it sturdier.
Eh, it's mostly replanting what has been destroyed previously, and with only a few fast growth species who don't make very useful wood for other purposes, while more varied forests are being destroyed to make room. It's pretty hard to "trick" capitalism into serving other interests than its own.
I doubt China's official figures include the so called "educational schools". If they did they'd easily top the chart. I mean, official USA figures probably don't include Guantanamo and black sites either but that's not the same magnitude.
It's not fair to blame people for not knowing that "3nm" does not mean "3nm". Knowledge about measurement units is more prevalent than knowledge about marketing practices of semiconductor companies. Blame those misleading practices instead.
I see that in the face of overwhelming evidence the narrative is changing from "climate change does not exist" to "climate change is not that bad", so that the conclusion remains that "we don't need to do anything about it".
I guess that fort is build with the threat of the Al Quaeda/ISIS groups in mind, which are mostly equipped with firearms and a few RPGs and such but nothing too advanced. It's not intended to take on a full siege by a regular army.
> Nobody cares, human time has value, machine time is free, and it's 2020.
I disagree about types, it's great to actually know what you're dealing with and instantly know what operations you can do on objects without deep diving into layers of code and outdated documentation (the "ruby way"). Also I don't know if you have actual experience with CAD design but machine time is definitely not free there.
A declarative syntax seems better in theory but in practice if forces clunky syntax as soon as you are dealing with slightly deep hierarchies. Imperative syntax is just simpler, you can manipulate objects directly, pass them around to functions, the "object" paradigm makes sense here.
> release games to a community that is rather famous fo being cheapskates
Wrong, if you look at game sales that are donation-based, like the humble bundle (they used to publish average price per platform but I haven't found recent data), you'll see that Linux users actually pay significantly more (voluntarily).
I feel the term "micro particles" is too broad. I'm pretty sure there is a difference for health between car exhaust particles, tire particles, brake pad particles, industry particles, fertilizer particles, wood smoke particles, etc. It all ends up in the same PM10 or PM2.5 or whatever category but the chemical nature is quite variable.
I thought so too. It sounds uncomfortably close to "pleurome" which is a French word for pleural cancer. I'm not sure if there is a similar English word. I looked up pleroma, and apparently it is a word of Greek origins which means the fullness of divine excellencies and powers. Quite an ambitious name.
That reminds me of a bad headache I got once after riding on a particularly shaky rollercoaster. It lasted the afternoon and made me feel quite sick. I think some of these rides are not safe either.
First, when you make millions of a thing, then saving even fractions of a cent add up to a lot of money. Chinese manufacturers favor high volume, low margin products. Second, Maxim parts are not cheap, in fact they are among the most expensive in the IC industry. A single DS18B20+ goes for 3.47€ on Mouser right now. That's a juicy target for counterfeiters.
International standardization organizations (like ISO) are not governmental organizations. They are private entities, which sometimes become too involved in official standards. But they are controlled by whoever funds them.
You really can't use "we promise we won't misuse the information" as an argument, that's what everyone says whether it's true or not, and the whole point of using a privacy-centric browser is that as a user you can't trust those kinds of promises.
