I've come to see plants as actually living underground with what we call the roots. What is above ground, are just air- and sun-roots.
Do we know how long the power source will last?

Implement a Miller column file manager and it will take off.
Did anyone calculate the expected gravity of the death star, based on it's estimated mass?

Same. It's trash now.
I guess they will still need a cv joint, just because wheels get out of alignment all the time.

That aside, it would interesting if someone made a 3d model one could print to try this out at home for small robots.

One of the oldest example of hand crafted vector databases?
There's also the issue of dizziness if rotating fast with a small radius.
Pretty sure apple makes you sign a paper saying that you agree to the device being wiped.
I wonder if it's really required to have 1g gravity in order to avoid this. It's much easier to artificially create, say 1/6g (moon) gravity by rotation than 1g, since rotational speed required is quite a bit slower.

Coming from Spring Boot with it's 17+ level deep abstractions to Go / gin-gonic was such a breath of fresh air!

the irony that you can't run Android Studio on Android, but can run VS Code?

Built one of the Airgradient Pro a few weeks ago, it works a threat! The bundled usb-c cable didn't work though.
Lots of things are possible with wayland that was never possible with X11, just because it's a much more modern graphics stack; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNL6eIoksd8

Note that the XFree86 developers themselves have abandoned XFree86 development.

An inline search pane would be nice. Not because it's necessarily better, but it aligns with a lot of other tools that we use.
That is one very depressing looking building! As if it was built in North Korea!

I'd assume they'd worry more about the daily 450 degrees temperature more.

Might be cooler at the poles.

It will help us getting to a place where we don't pump up stuff from below ground which ultimately ends up as CO2 in the atmosphere. If we stopped pumping oil out of the ground, we would have left other CO2 sources which are from cyclical sources, and which we can deal with other ways.
Too late, they're virtually in Nato already.

A raspberry pi running linux might even be faster than some of these old workstations, with better graphics to boot.

Re:Dear JetBrains, Don't mess with your UI on Tuesday October 18, 2022 @07:25AM (#33245674)
This one caught me out;

- "The toolbar has less icons now" - It's customisable, you can put whatever you want in there. Yes, with colourful icons.

I was wondering where the back / forward buttons were, but realised after a while that they can be put back in, just with some configuration.
