would consider lifting 30Kg to be superhuman.
And from TFA the target is 100kg Try lifting *that* more than a few times and see how you go.
I feel sorry for you that the amazing super-strength exoskeleton capable of lifting 1000 kg, and able to run all day didn't just spring into existence at the snap of your fingers. It really must be tough living in that fantasy world where research and development don't take time and resources.
Combine the two, and you have fully autonomous highway driving under regular conditions. You just have to fool the sensor, and sensors are easy to fool.
Yeah, but I'd be worried that the cruise control would punt the car into a corner at a rate at which the lane centering couldn't compensate. You really need a bit more smarts for simple autonomous driving scenarios.
Once in a blue moon I try a GUI editor (like gedit, geany) or an IDE (like Eclipse or Netbeans), and I always find myself going back to vim, because everything else slows me down
What I would very much want is a fucking GUI editor for Android apps, because editing XML files from scratch is getting on my nerves.
So you dislike GUI's but secretly desire one?
I'd posit that your anti-IDE/GUI experience is based around tools that don't meet your needs, and your XML editing desires show that you are looking for tools that meet your needs.
I'd also posit that having the right tools would make you much more productive than bare bones editors (compared to a fully fledged IDE)
What other uses of energy do you disapprove of?
Obviously not
First of all, here in Georgia, we are a State in the US of Fucking A!
Secondly, what the fucking Hell does Athletic shoes have to do with Bitcoin?
Pity that they are talking about the country in Eurasia and not the US state. Or that when the state of Georgia seceded from the US it referred to itself as the "Republic of Georgia".
Methinks you should pay more attention to the world around you.
The EPA emissions factor for electricity is about 0.69 tons of CO2 per megawatt hour, so producing the electricity used by this datacenter is, on average, dumping into the atmosphere 331 tons of CO2 per day or about 120,000 tons of CO2 per year
Given that the data center is in the Republic of Georgia and not the US state of Georgia I don't think that the EPA estimates really have any relevance. If anything the numbers are probably much much worse.
So Toss his ass into Gitmo and wait 15 years to bring him to trial
What?!?!?! The people in Gitmo actually gets chance to go to trial????
Facebook engineer and PHP core contributor....
My father in law in an actual engineer
As an actual engineer as well, this sort of inflating of titles is a peeve of mine right now. It makes job searches nigh impossible as every position out there has the word engineer in them, and all recruiters seem to be doing nowadays is matching keywords - sort I keep getting emails about 'engineer this' and 'engineer that', when they are totally irrelevant to any sort of genuine engineering position.
Python has emerged a juggernaut to contend with in RESTful coding environments.
Putting aside the whole whitespace debate(*), I'm pretty sure that python has its own list of issues. Maybe not to the same extent as PHP, but they exist.
* For which I personally do have trouble with python - I want the computer to bend to my will, not the other way around.
A car's primary purpose is to advertise the size of a guy's dick(*), in order to facilitate picking up chicks. Getting around is just a by-product of its intended function.
FTFY
* Although an inverse function is typically applied here, for some reason the chicks in question don't seem to notice or care.
I saw a story last week of an AirBnB "issue" Palm Springs Airbnb 'squatter' protected under law. In CA, if a person stays in your house for longer than 30 days they are recognized as a tenant. At which point all sorts of tenant protection laws kick in, and the only way to remove them is to start a lengthy legal process.
I'd say its nigh on impossible to circumvent laws like this in CA while still keeping your house as a private home. So I see jumping into AirBnB arrangements without understanding the legal framework of what you are doing as the equivalent of skipping through a minefield - regardless of the "good" intentions of this disaster preparedness scheme.
But then you could also buy your coffee at costco, and a nice flask, and you get your cheapest caffeine every day and less disposable cups going to landfills.
You could also live in a country where you could grow and roast your own coffee beans. There is always a price vs convenience tradeoff.
Though, another point worth mentioning is that coffee's stimulant effect on the body wears off after a while as the body learns to adapt.
Which is great reason to kick the caffeine addiction habit in the first place.
Some athletes will give up coffee so that their caffeine gels are a bit more effective on race day.
There was an Australian Modern Pentathlon competitor who was sent home from the 1988 Soul olympics due to excess caffeine levels (but was later cleared).
It's kind of a gateway drug, in that once you open the Red Bull gate you are entering a world where you pay triple for the equivalent energy of a banana, and the equivalent caffeine of a cup of coffee. It's kind of like a gateway to a world of dummies.
Unless of course you shop for Red Bull at Costco vs buying your Double Mocha Lattes from Starbucks. In which case your Red Bull caffeine price will be less than a quarter than that of the Starbucks content.
Can this claim even be proven or disproven?
Silly question on a nerd site, you don't "prove" anything with science, and Jurassic park was a movie, not a scientific model.
Years and years ago I saw some academic research that modeled bird flocking with a simple "Try and keep a constant distance from my neighbors" algorithm. The video (vector graphics with the birds rendered as simple triangles) of the animations produced a very lifelike behavior of a flock of birds flying around and through groups of fixed objects. I'd say if anything that the animators of Jurassic park were probably aware of such techniques.
Maybe your EE lecturer had a crush on you?
All slurs aside, buss was all over the place on schematics for all sorts systems at the time. It was not an isolated occurrence. So you don't get to invalidate my experience.
