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 underground oceans of liquid water. For example, despit

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 fooled by oddly-shaped objects, especially

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 "ancient civilization" theories. That doesn't mean

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 proprietary as a blunt instrument to prevent carriers

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 -> no delay 4. Close window, st

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 sense that its advances are probably too

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 guess we could wish that the hornets never arrived here, b

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 that was created immediately after this thread and has but a s

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 game devs are able to optimize their games specifically for th

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 Unix administrator. But for people who just wanted to _

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 from after the unification of Japan under the Tokugawa shogunat

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 support. The tests show that the driver is unacceptably un

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 in (Mac App store sandbox, capabilities work on

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 "bad hire" or "good hire&quot

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 confidence to give a positive or negative sc

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 needing to validate types at codebase boundaries, functions that

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, but you're doing all the work there, not the ori

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 differences is not worth the loss of the ease-of-use gain refere

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 that is useful. When possible they optimize for bo

I suspect type declaration order is a deeply personal preference. I hate C-style type-first declarations with a passion; type-last declarations have always felt more readable and natural to me.

- UI code spends most of its time interacting with a UI API (Android view framework, whatever iOS uses, DOM/CSS in web). These APIs are enormous and are rarely designed with testing in mind. Mocking or faking the pieces of API that you

On the contrary, silencing voices is a necessary thing. All societies have to determine what speech is allowed and what isn't. There are lots of things you can say in general American society that will get you censured. Claiming that b

Please, no. Shared-by-default heap memory is one of the greatest mistakes ever made in language design. We need a better design justification than it's the easiest thing to implement right now.

If both studies are so flawed, it seems indefensible to draw _any_ conclusions right now.
