The market will remain irrational far longer than even the most pessimistic takes.

Absolutely! A few times I have seen the full grandeur of this on the west coast of Tasmania. Highly recommend. Also neat seeing all those satellites flying about after sunset.

Your memories are spot on. ;)

It is the closest we have to a freedom respecting device. The baseband processor is still a closed blob but it is a lot better than pretty much everything else out there. Maybe Pin…

There was that moment when a friend had a Dual G5 PowerMac only to have it trampled in performance by the new Core Duo Mac Mini. That was when we knew Apple had made the right move…

You could not critic either direction too heavily. Do you want a fresh technology base or legacy support? There is no wrong answer.

Get on it sooner rather than later. Many CRT's were thrown out when they were considered obsolete and the ones remaining are dying from age.

That is a very fair call! The overall champion of physical storage is still stone.

The most surprising thing, to me, was for once I got the timing spot on! Usually when I predict things like this I am way off on the timing but this is right on pace. In that sense…

It is hard to tell what we will leave. Depending on how our civilization declines, if it just the typical path of resource overshoot and decline I do wonder how much of what we are…

Not OP and a bit of an aside but, funnily enough the leap from BotW to TotK actually was the first time in a while that I felt like Nintendo didn't really bring that kind of refine…

That is an understatement. The amount of refinement they have done now on various games is starting to feel like it is beyond just pure iteration but is a result of intuition that …

Seeing what folks in the demoscene can do nowadays with such limited hardware makes modern software feel all the more puzzling. I mean, yes demoscene stuff isn't concerned about ea…

Usually that hesitance is because a lot of amatuer stuff has been made using Unity. But when in the right hands, it can feel like it is its own thing but it is easy to be hesitant …

Along these lines - For all the rubbish Nintendo does, they do know how to ship complete games. Games that if never patched, just work.

That is a fair call. The game visual updating slow is not a huge issue but if the input cursor is slow, it is very apparent. Considering something like Simcity 2000/3000. Visual up…

To shoot from the hip on this one. It sounds like it could be limited by a single thread. Clock rates between mid and high end CPU's are significantly different but core count is. …

It seems like Lithium isn't so much quality limited by supply speed. At least for the moment. There is some concerns in terms of total materials for stuff like Cobalt/Nickel but ev…

My initial issues with Musk was that he tended to push ideas and time frames WAY beyond what was reasonable. Tesla / Space X are already amazing in almost ever respect, it doesn't …

The world is forever a better place with this in it. Fight me!

That is a fair call. If that is the case, robably best to just leave it.

Those gravitational boosts are vital. The closest in speed so far would be 'New Horizons'. But even then NH is going at 14.5KM/sec compared with Voyagers 18KM/sec. There are no pro…

That is true now, but maybe once the probes go completely dead with no chance of revival and there is no risk of tampering?

It is like restaurants they say their ingredients are "fresh". If you have to specifically call it out, there is something wrong.

I said it on here before. I used to be the king of macaroni code. Tiny pieces of spaghetti code - fast running that barely made sense. The technical debt stacked up really quickly …
