I'd suggest that only people who are already overweight will be trying intermittent fasting. Needs a study with randomly selected people who are put into two groups - overweight an…

I hadn't seen this before, thought it looks interesting. Wondered why it is perpetually unfinished... until I saw the 'Make an off-line version of this book' and 'Make a PDF of the…

A disappointingly indecisive work, dare I say giving a wishy-washy impression. So much more could have been said, if the artist had worked in the far more assertive medium of #FFFF…

There's a deeper reason. Remember 3Dfx? They made the entire source code for their 3D hardware available to developers, all in C and a tiny bit of assembler. It could be easily por…

Thanks! As an old (retired) programmer I was hoping a good intro to GPUs would turn up. Now, I don't suppose you could add 'ink on paper' to the color options? Gray on light gray, …

Funny! A lengthy review of writing implements, and comments about them, without a single mention of mechanical (clutch) pencils. Like the Pentel P205 (0.5mm leads), and various oth…

I don't think you'd be able to get any new non-computerized car at all today. Emission control makes computerization an absolute requirement. That's why choice in cars for people w…

I'm a retired electronics design engineer and embedded programmer, and I will NEVER own a car with any kind of vehicle/engine management computer. Old cars for me, forever. I flatl…

In the videos you can see the quality of the rocket flame changes suddenly about half a second before the obvious explosion in the engine area. The jet becomes more orange and less…

"all the events of the last week seem so orchestrated that it is hard not to be cynical" Uh... make that the last 51 years. If you only just noticed, you're not paying attention. A…

Fascinating. Presumably it wouldn't be possible for any planets to be orbiting in the vicinity of the 0.258 days orbital period binary. Or maybe, if far enough away? However, imagi…

Stating that the formula is still a secret after all these years, isn't google-compatible. http://oozinggoo.com/howto.html

It's been done before. It's called coal. But then at the end of the Carboniferous Era fungi learned how to break down lignin. This ended the trapping of vast amounts of atmospheric…

There's a fatal flaw. Even if commercial delivery drones could be engineered to not crash into people or houses, not tangle with power lines, not cause accidents on highways, and n…

It appears to me that Google has a long term ambition to become the sole means of navigating the Internet. Inter-site links are fundamental to topic-related navigation, as the Inte…

This was an amusing read. I'd not heard of using DRAMs as image sensors, but I had discovered that EPROMs sort-of worked as image sensors. Back in the 80s I was writing video poker…

Hmmm, in this thread the dead comments are some of the best. Or at least, the ones with which I best agree. Only a few more days to go before April 1st. Did PG accidentally post a …
