So many people learn that there is subtitles through the comments section after many years of watching all his videos, probably because the videos are so enjoyable even without the explanations.
The one size fit all strategy I found when I played many years ago was to put all my crew in the infirmary and asphyxiate the boarding enemies by opening all airlocks :)
I feel like a lot of Spain's history (note, I am casual observer) mentions "fascist"
That's because the same guy, Franco, the dictator, stayed in power the whole time. He wasn't fascist one year and something else the other one, and the fascist history of Spain was when Franco was in power.
Also on those pictures, the guy has is back all hunched and is holding the cat like a doll or a baby. Is it really the cat that give a less attractive vibe or the dorky posture of the guy on the picture?
Would the results be different if cat and man were posed differently?
I suspect that a picture of some guy going hiking with his cat would be seen different from some guy playing dolls with his cat in his apartment.
I've eaten Octopus in the past but didn't knew how intelligent those creature were until a couple of years ago. Since I saw multiple documentaries about them and read about them, I would now feel like a cannibal for eating them.
The problem is that when the ZX, C64 etc were around there was no alternative. If you wanted to play games, you could either shell out for more hardware and purchase the games on disk or cartridge, or you could type them in from a magazine (several times) and hopefully save them to a cassette.
I agree. When there is no shortcut you find much more motivation to go the hard way. I was in that exact position when I was 10, and I kept messing up copying the basic lines from books so I got a book for kids that teached me basic, this way I was making my own code and could debug it. I made simple games completely from scratch that way it was how I got into programing.
I can understand that now with so many shortcuts available for kids the same motivation is not there anymore. It's like once you get access to cheat codes in a game that makes you invincible and gives you infinite money, the challenge is not there and you lose interest.
NASA is calling for applicants interested in spending a year in a 1,700 square foot habitat
For some people like me that is called an upgrade from last year.
This youtube series of video, follow a group that restored an Apollo Guidance Computer that a collector basically pulled from the trash.

My favorite part is when they needed the version of the software that was used for the moon landing but they only had the source code for a previous version (scanned from giant binder) and the hash value of the version of the landing. By a series of educated guesses, by reading memos and by analysis of the source code they modified the old code the exact way so it gave them the correct hash, confirming that they correctly and exactly recreated the original code.
It's being a while and I go from memory, I might have some details wrong. See this video for this story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JTa1RQxU04
Code can't prevent someone from using violence to force you to overturn a smart contract's decision.
You can hit the developers and the computer has much has you want but no amount of violence will fix the "_share_price > 0".
7-year olds seams a bit young but Jason Roberts from Techzing through Math Academy has lead a program that got 10-year olds to get through calculus.

He told through the years his progress in his podcast (among other interesting things, like being one of the first developers at Uber and other fascinating stuff) https://techzinglive.com/
C64, Apple II and others can still be enjoyable for retrogaming. So maybe not productive but still practical.
Here some workaround

So sooner or later the economics will work out for a "RISC-V Pi".
There is already pretty cool stuff. Look at this developer board, you get a RISC-V Dual Core 64bit + an ESP32 (a full MCU for wifi + Bluetooth) on the same board and a camera for $24. That Risc-V chip is optimized for processing neural networks.

When first tried Windows 10 while is still was in public beta I though "Oh they are still working on the design, things are still pretty crude and indistinguishable from each other". Then a little bit latter I realized it was the final design all along.
DevEx code
I am trying to understand the meaning of this word through context and/or through Google but I only get some social media platform. What is DevEx.
I really wonder how the full delivery scenario is envisioned. Where do the Drone deliver the package? In front of my home? Do I have to go climb on top of roof? Does it call me or send me and SMS once it's there or do I need to stand outside?
We simply misunderstood the headline; It's not an article about a new cure for insomnia, the article IS the new cure.
Is there some downloadable archive file of all painting in the higher resolution or did you simply roll your own web scraper?
In a POW network with 1,000 miners (with equal hash power), let's say 95% follow one chain and ignore another chain, and that the remaining 5% follow that other chain. The two chains are completely different, but are both valid.
The second chain is just an alt coin resulting of a fork.
POW is as much a democratic decision by your description. If a group of miners decide to reach a consensus you have the sames results. The real difference is that the right to vote in the system in POW is determined by how many electricity you spend, in POS is determined by how many currency you own.
Many of the symptoms described there looked like ADHD (of course I am not making a real diagnostic). High intelligence and lack of motivation leads to underachievement.
I love how you repeatedly shame the cheap bastards who "cannot" afford a $10 service into taking the paying plan while still giving them the option to take the cheap bastard plan. :)
Worst case scenario, wouldn't it be conceivable that the guy who built a car and space rocket company from scratch now creates/buy a lithium mining and/or battery making company to be able to supply Tesla different projects (cars, powerwall)?
People used that scam on WoW. People would type in the chat channel that they want to buy some item for 200 golds. Meanwhile they put for sale that item on the auction house for 100 golds. Some people would then rush to buy the one on the auction house to resell it to the potential buyer but of course the potential buyer is now nowhere to be seeing.
No worry I suspected a typo. Like you I went straight to Wikipedia because I wondered by how long she outlived the article that 1995 article.
Andre-Francois Raffray was the dude that made the deal and died in 1995 at 77. Jeanne Calment is the women who died later in 1997 at the age of 122.5.
"Let them use iPad Pros"
this kids thinks he's gonna prove a point by taking down a propaganda poster?
I think its even worst.
"took down a propaganda sign in Pyongyang so he could exchange it for money outside the country"
According to the article he did to sell it on ebay.
I teach myself to program in basic when I was 10 without the assistance of any adult an made my own "for loops" because I only knew "GOTO", "IF" and variables. You can do a lot of shit with only "GOTO" and "IF", I made a Black Jack game. :)
