Due to some counterintuitive geothermal reasons, it's likely that three of the four Galilean moons (of Jupiter) as well as Titan (Saturn's largest moon) all sport significant under…

The issue isn't one of fixed vs rotation, it's that radar can't fundamentally achieve the resolution necessary to distinguish important features in the environment. It's easily foo…

Note that the only proponent of the man-made theory mentioned is Graham Hancock, a somewhat infamous Atlantis-chasing pseudoscientist and overall purveyor of extremely flimsy "anci…

> A better approach is to optimistically merge most changes as soon as not-rocket-science allows it, and then later review the code in situ, in the main branch. And instead of addi…

I have no insider knowledge here, but Google tried to go the high route of working with carriers for years before giving up on their intransigence. I suspect that Google's RCS is p…

I can replicate this behavior fairly easily in a browser. 1. Open incognito window in Chrome 2. Visit https://t.co/4fs609qwWt -> 5s delay 3. Open a second tab in the same window ->…

Just for comparison, the extended-range Ford Lightning pickup truck (the one that can power a home for three days) has a 131 kWh battery.

I'm a little sad that there aren't any comments describing what is technically novel around Fuchsia and why it is/why it isn't interesting from an OS design standpoint. I get the s…

I don't see what there is to lament. If this is necessary spending (it seems it is) and there is other necessary spending, then it seems we must pay for both of those things. I gue…

I have to say, after reading those posts, Matt is looking more trustworthy than the OP. Especially considering the definitely-not-a-sock-puppet post by jimboykin [1], an account th…

Console hardware is vastly underpowered compared to PCs and yet frequently competes with mid-tier graphics cards in terms of performance and graphics quality. The reason is that ga…

Also, unavailable to most people. Yes, I suppose it was kind of nice when the internet was only available to the tech-savvy, to those who didn't mind maintaining a second job as a …

While beautiful, most of these pieces are primarily ceremonial or intended for generals who would rarely involve themselves on the battlefield†. Almost all of these pieces date fro…

This is the use case they highlighted in the keynote. It doesn't appear to be a system designed for shipped games.

No, in fact one of the bug comments refutes this sarcasm: > The default driver on the distribution we support is broken. They do test the default driver on the distributions they s…

There's a decent argument that current desktop OSes are a poor man's OS. The permissive-by-default approach of traditional OSes is deeply problematic and attempts at reigning that …

Such a feedback loop -- of identifying which interviewers give the "most accurate" scores -- doesn't exist. Nor is it clear how you would build such a system (how do you quantify a…

Some perspective from the interviewer's side may help here: - A Google interviewer's (and I would assume any interviewer's) primary goal is to come out of the interview with enough…

This article is just a recapitulation of the old pure functional programming vs. imperative programming argument but wrapped up in new packaging. Most of these issues, such as need…

No, the author is showing off how smart they are, and in an unprofessional and nasty manner to boot. It's kind of you to gift the article with some genuinely thoughtful conclusions…

So citibank and NTP will need to change their domain structure. That's okay: those are confusing structures. This is a tradeoff -- continuing to support already-confusing differenc…

Maps are, infamously, a place where "truth" is not usually an attainable goal. All cartographers are faced with the decision between creating a map that is uncontroversial vs. one …

It's true that, based on my interviewing experience, candidates with only a jQuery background are unlikely to have the skills to cut it developing large-scale software at a large-s…
