If Woz had a little more Jobs in him, he'd have told Jobs to go fuck himself when he sold Woz's work to Atari and paid him a fraction of the money. There would be no Apple.

Look at it from the other way too. A foreign agency is secretly funnelling money into an institution that's supposed to be looking after my (as a UK citizen) interests. I think it's well past time this incestuous charade was expos

I'm stuck in a cycle of continuously rediscovering this, then forgetting it again almost immediately because CTRL+ALT+DEL is so damned ingrained.

See this? This is part of the problem, stop being so stereotypically blinkered. The rest of the world doesn't care if the US government is spying on its own citizens. The US government is ACCOUNTABLE to its own citizens (well nominally

This is remarkable, I initially thought you'd typo'd your typo and had to do a double take to spot it. Isn't the brain a wonderful and scary thing.

Gone to the great Rumfuddle in the sky. RIP. 96 isn't a bad innings all told.

Yeah, this article's blinkered, hyperbolic and frankly smug tone is pretty amusing when you take things like the above into context. He even sticks a "literally Hitler!" on the end for good measure.

Not an expert, but from what I understand it's a trade off. Super-capacitors hold much less charge than batteries. There was a very interesting article about them on HN last year IIRC.

There's no such thing as bad publicity! Wrong.

It's also easy to not see stuff when you're blind drunk. Both of these things are illegal, it's no excuse.

It's not just better writing though, it's the difference between laughing with and laughing at. BBT isn't just "not funny", it's actually rather obnoxious.

Is it bad that I can still recite that number from heart? Rhetorical question, of course it isn't!

Just write a script that outputs "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" for 40 hours, see how that tickles him.

Good answer, thanks. I've been playing too much Kerbal Space Program, I assumed the first stage had already reached orbital velocity.
19.
by lutze 13y ago
Right, excellent. Except the first stage doesn't run out of propellant does it, because it has to LAND again. Hence my puzzlement. I know why multi-stage rockets are used... I'm asking why this rocket needs them, since they solve a problem

by lutze 13y ago
I don't understand the need for the intermediary stages, couldn't the main rocket just deliver the payload and then land? As it is in that video, it's having to carry engines and fuel for 3 separate stages, for no apparent reason.

It owes much more to Master of Orion and its sequel, with its races and customizable ship design. Homeworld's main innovation was the fully 3D battlefield, Stardrive is entirely 2D (not even psuedo 3D). Not that that's a bad thing. The art

Given the context of the blog (free time), it's only natural to assume you were talking about that too, since you don't explicitly state otherwise. I'm perfectly relaxed by the way. I swore for emphasis, not out of emotional engagement.

"First, telling someone what they should and shouldn’t do in their free time is a tremendous insult to them and their personal judgment. It’s also incredibly short-sighted." Read that. Twice. Now, add these words of pearly wisdom to the en

"But there’s different classes of success." Two tips for life: Never ever let anyone else define what success means to you. Never be arrogant enough to attempt to define what success means for other people.

It wouldn't surprise me if various enforcement agencies viewed encryption as sufficiently suspicious behaviour to arrest/investigate you for some kind of "terrorism" charge anyway.

by lutze 13y ago
Yeah sorry, should have made that clear.

The claim is that it's less accessible for children, not that we have less freedom.

I agree, but then neither will the program described in the blog. If your goal is just to get leaner, fitter and healthier you're better off playing a sport IMO.

Some of this is terrible advice. You want strength, you do high weight, low rep sets of compound barbell lifts. Dumbbells are a body-building tool, not a strength building one. Press machines are horrid horrid horrid. At best they don't tar
