It might differ between countries, but I've found that physics is one of the most valued degrees. It's a demonstration of problem-solving skills that are very desirable for a varie…

One important caveat in the article: > Update: It looks like Amazon is converting the uploaded EPUB to KF8 (AZW3). So, it looks like they might not support EPUB natively.

SpinLaunch's website claims: "To date, we’ve conducted tests over 6x the speed of sound." However, that doesn't seem possible because the centrifuge is not in a decent vacuum (as T…

That's true, but he has interesting insight into more seemingly realistic concepts like SpinLaunch.

He is a scientist with published papers, and he seems to have a decent understanding of physics. Obviously scientists are not perfect, but you seem to imply that most of his videos…

I do have a degree in physics, if that helps.

Sorry to put a dampener on things, but Thunderf00t has already done two debunking videos on SpinLaunch. He's rarely wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ziGI0i9VbE https://www.y…

People aren't offended by the change; they're irritated. I'm irritated because it was an unnecessary change based on unsound reasoning, made by people who claim to represent a mino…

Kotlin doesn't just run on the JVM - it can compile to native binaries with Kotlin Native. It compiles to WASM and JS too.

There's an official Vim plugin by Jetbrains for all Jetbrains IDEs (including Rider). I find it a great way to combine the strengths of Vim with the strengths of a full IDE.
