In the future everyone will be a battery mechanic. Just as dads in the 60’s and 70’s had a garage full of tools. But now they will have soldering stations and ammeters

Don't give them any ideas, I can see this actually happening.

Were they at least 6-9 months apart, or closer to a year?

My city and county is infamous for fighting tooth and nail to prevent any kind of construction or development. And they look for any excuse to re-assess and double your property tax.

This paper concludes that habitually eating legumes and cereals is associated with lessened Covid symptoms.

Nothing on screens makes me happy.

In Santa Cruz it is illegal to insulate your garage, lest it become housing.

It’s my life’s dream to do a project like this.

Not a word about Couchbase, which went IPO and is currently worth $1B

The answer to your redundancy question is: Assembly line.

Instead of ramping up a project, and building 1 of something, you would plan to do more than one, and you could iterate over time as you learn. SpaceX is doing a good job of this.

If 1 Webb telescope is valuable then wouldn't 3 or 5 also be valuable?

We have a number of proven space designs at this point: Soyuz, Spirit/Opportunity rovers.

There is a middle ground. You can get a nice hotel (Hyatt) nearly for free, using their credit card program.

As the article refers to, the technology demo 20 years ago got as far as deploying the sensors from a radio-controlled airplane, and then driving a tank nearby, and receiving and processing the sensor data received. I can only imagine how far this technology has developed in the meantime.

I'm vaguely disappointed I can't go down to Costco and buy a 100-pack of localizers to sprinkle around my own property.

The Sega Dreamcast release date was 9/9/99

No masks indoors?

"Our TPS reports are the same length as everyone else's!"

Webb telescope will change everything, once again.

Could human settlers on Mars adapt to progressively lower pressure levels over time (generations)?

I would love to lookup my old usenet posts from the early 90's

On a side note, why doesn't anybody MOO/MUD any more?

There is no “bound by duty” any more. Only selfish actors.

We can’t even wear masks.

We can’t even agree to enforce the rule of law.

Compare and contrast today's Javascript-in-browser dependent applications versus a pure server-side-rendering model. With the latter, there is truly no software downloaded, only static assets such as images.

Their money goes into GME and crypto

But in today's reality, there is a lot of Javascript that is getting "downloaded and installed" into your browser's cache. It's all being managed for you and it mostly works.

Serious question: Can you make "Netflix money", er, "FAANG money", as a Lazarus developer?

What's remarkable to me is to think about the infrastructure that must have existed, even to support this basic labor. All these stones had to get quarried and moved around. All these workers had to be fed, housed, and clothed. Whatever tools and simple machines they used, would have required constant maintenance.

An even more clever person would package up this box, and sell it, along with a companion subscription service, to help busy folks like myself.
