It's probably from the Russian CS.

Commits of a version control have text that explain why, when and who.

I think it's more about the user interface. The user interface of Git is essentially what programmers already do - code.

The 'he did the math and then did an obviously impossible thing' is really easy to understand. Otherwise it's just a meh explanation that's based on some predictions mixed with politics.

Becoming a billionaire and trying to push the envelope are different activities, although sometimes they align. And as you describe, when a guy catches some important near term thing that nobody sees - that's where he finds billions.

But the unreachable areas are sometimes not that unreachable. Look at the space industry companies. If you ignore the flagship ones that popped up in a scale of mere years then moving out in your lifetime looks like a pipe dream too.

He's swimming in money and connections, why don't he try to solve fusion?

Yes, we have ITER going, but it's not really built efficiently: exact same parts are manufactured on the opposite sides of the world.

It can actually improve stopping. Theoretically you can pack some systems to disintegrate the truck in case of an emergency, you don't have a driver inside to save.

Btw, desktop youtube redesign is atrocious: it's slow and wastes a lot of screen space. People have to work on browser plugins that use hacks to redirect to the old page. The old design page is thankfully still served, but it can't be accessed without magic and constant breakage.

Yes, in Natural Selection 2 you can't properly ambush anyone unless you take into account the ping and jump on them before you even see each other.

But it's not that useful even if you pour a glass cube over the whole exchange to slow it down.

Yes, need multiple ISPs so the national restrictions would cancel each other.

I prefer an orbital ring already across the entire sky.

And if you can break the speed of light, you don't need a second exchange.

Yea, gaming is miles ahead of everything in this area. It obviously doesn't focus on video too much, but audio and text are on point.

Some videoconference solutions that are pushed on businesses aren't mature at all: in that Cisco thing when you mute someone it mutes them for everybody (not just for you), so it's hard to have a mixed conference because you either hear people in your physical room twice or remotes obviously don't hear them at all if you use the 'mute participant' button.

Okay, now can you finally accept patches about the default registry?

Or we're still stonewalling?

"the dominate", "incoming coming", and there are some other typos I'm not sure about.

Every time youtube breaks the old UI current workaround I start looking for alternatives.

Also, replace deer with something self driving. Those things are so stupid when near the road.

Why bother, you'll hit the uncertainty principle sooner or later anyway.

A human whose life is at stake controlling a car here at this moment vs a human who is far in space and time controlling someone else's car by programming it.

Human is like your ancient software that was here since forever and somewhat worked fine. So everyone is used to it.

(the difference from an actual software is that humans are based on some crazy nanotech from the future that nobody can completely control)

Make is like an assembly language of the build systems. This layer gives structure and debuggability (otherwise you're spending time poking at some opaque UI or something).

And it works with Linux distributions.

No, C/C++ is straightforward when you stick to a distribution because there are people who are dedicated to packaging and deal with inconsistencies that individual library developers love to multiply.

Well, firemen are tough.

If they're not observable then they're all unidirectional from here to somewhere over there (or from there to here but there is nothing over there, not even vacuum fluctuations).

"ongoing basis" - that's an oxymoron lmao. If your base is going somewhere then it's not really a base.

I have exact times for workday start/end and lunchtime start/end. I just abruptly stop what I'm doing when the hour comes.

Also there are things I want to do after work I'm looking forward to. So I waste no time thinking in-between.

No, I really hoped to be amazed by some weird phenomenon that can cause 130 degrees. Didn't even think about Fahrenheit.

You mean making conserves?
