Microsoft started as a programming language company (MS-BASIC) and they never stopped delivering serious quality software there. VB (classic), for all its flaws, was an amazing RAD dev product. .NET, especially since the move to open-source

Off-topic, but this ongoing trend of brands getting TLDs is really starting to infuriate me. It's not what TLDs are for! Sony is a Japanese company, so it should use sony.com or sony.jp.

57 is 3 times 19. The standard divisibility rule for 3, 6 and 9 in base 10 is to sum the digits until you only have one left and check if it's one of those. Here, 5+7=12, 1+2=3, so 57 is divisible by 3.

I think "blurry" was used here referring to the fact that they don't really pay attention to the differences between fonts, not to an aspect of the rendering.

Title is imprecise, it's Archiveteam.org, not Archive.org. The Internet Archive is providing free hosting, but the archival work was done by Archiveteam members.

By chance, do you happen to know if the Mindstorms NXT (the old one, before EV3) software was based on the same toolkit? I always wondered what UI framework it used, it had an unusual look.

About 90 millions rods vs 6 millions cones. Sometimes I'm surprised we can even see detail at all. Though it certainly helps that they're not uniformly distributed; most cones are in the macula, around the middle of the back of th

> But the animation actually shows that after step 2, Q = [a1, a3, b1, b3]. In other words, a3 didn't join the back of the queue but jumped in front of b1. This is what leads to the buggy behavior that is shown. This is my fault. Th

Yeah, but that doesn't solve the data privacy problem. Not that I care, I'd love to be able to do all sorts of stuff with scraped datasets.

Very nice. Modern GPUs really are fast as drawing points. It's pretty similar to a project I've been working on for the past year, scraping Facebook instead of BlueSky (which is a bit harder since FB doesn't expose an API for
