For NASA, data types don’t matter when you’re programming Voyager 1 and 45 years later it gets hit by an energy burst causing 3% of the RAM to become unusable, and it’s transmitting gibberish. It’s awesome they were able to recover it.

But then they’d have a dev team who wrote the code and therefore knows how it works.
In this case, the hackers might understand the code better than the “author” because they’ve been working in it longer.
Yeah, there’s an awesome video on aluminum drink cans from TheEngineerGuy on YouTube. The ideal shape for holding pressure with minimal material is a sphere, but there’s 2 problems with that: They roll, and can’t be packed as efficiently as cylinders.
Oh good point, another downside of the taller shape. More surface area = warms faster and uses more aluminum.
If anything the taller cylinder will use more aluminum for the same volume, so they’re kinda shooting themselves in the foot here with aluminum and steel tariffs, lol
Seems pretty clear the only reason for this was to change the price without as many people noticing.

Ooh, I’ll have to check that out. I loved The Stanley Parable and Beginner’s Guide

The game you want but don't have temporarily licensed (AKA "own") is not going anywhere.3·2 months agoI adopted this philosophy a few years ago and have bought maybe 2 games since. I played them immediately and had fun. Meanwhile I have no interest in playing my backlog games anymore. I don’t have time for them.

Even web browsing becomes painful to navigate sometimes. Maybe a dual-screen approach would work with e-ink on one side and a regular screen on the other?
It’s so easy! Watch:

What the fuck, who changed that? Seems like a horrible idea.
Another point is that if the dam is 10m tall, it has to be built to withstand 10m of water. just because it sits at 5m most of the time doesn’t mean a heavy rain couldn’t raise the level, and if the dam collapses that’s going to be catastrophic vs just spilling over the top.
Possibly even a multi-part rar
How will they even know it exists until the switch is triggered?
These don’t seem to be particularly new panels. $600 and only 97% of the sRGB color space (= ~78% DCI-P3), meanwhile a similarly priced LG “QNED” can do 90-95% of DCI-P3. I’m not sure you can even call those TVs HDR if they’re only 8-bit color. None of these models can even remotely compare to a brand new OLED TV.
Today was my first day back after vacation… I wish I had more time off to take.

xthexder@l.sw0.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who tried La Croix, what is your opinion on it?2·4 months agoI definitely agree, but I was expecting you to compare with something more expensive. Personally I really like Spindrift, but it’s like 2x the price. On the other hand, you can’t beat tap water for value (or filtered water depending on your local water quality).

xthexder@l.sw0.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a habit/thing/technique that most people would benefit from, in your experience/observation? What are some habits that would be best avoided too?6·4 months agoI’ve been trying to motivate myself to go out for walks more. I really enjoy hiking, but especially over the winter, the weather is always an easy excuse not to go out (I’m in the PNW, so winter means rain).
I just bought some nice waterproof hiking shoes that will take away at least one excuse. I’d get wet feet using running shoes, and cleaning mud off was a pain too. Having the right equipment can make going out way more pleasant. (Also it can be exciting to try out new shoes or whatever it is)
It also aired in Canada when I was growing up!
