One of the reasons traditional TV is in trouble is because it is a pain in the neck to deal with. The episode-at-a-time schedule is frustrating, now that I'm used to binging on Netflix. To get around this, I tend to watch network TV shows only at the end of the season, so I can save up an entire season and binge watch the show (I have a PVR and an antenna). However, you often find that some or all of your season is missing because the networks can't keep to a schedule.

Just last night, Golf on NBC pushed their primetime schedule back by 10 minutes, causing me to loose the last 10 minutes of the series finale of something that I was binge watching. This is ... disappointing.

Similarly, a previous episode of the same show was been 100% interrupted by overzealous local news/weather folks covering phantom "severe weather" which was basically some high wind and lighting.

Except for sports, I'm now planning to just ignore linear TV, and wait for the shows to appear on streaming services, which actually deliver the content..
I'm more than double your age, and I haven't had a cable TV subscription in probably 15 years. Of course, like you I do torrenting (not that much really, I just don't have that much time for watching anything), but I agree, even if torrenting were somehow suddenly impossible, and everything I had archived was suddenly gone, I wouldn't sign up for a TV service.
There is a big difference between deploying code you control and deploying other people's code you do not control. There are plenty of windows binaries that fail to run on one version of Windows or another and obviously DLL hell is a thing so I just presumed you were referring to the resources at a developer's disposal for packaging their own software for ease of deployment into a production system and not suggesting that any ol' windows binary "just works" on any version of Windows, because that is definitely not true. Regardless of the OS you have to support your target platforms.
How does this work? If the flywheel is in the station, how does it “catch” the train’s energy?
For a little bit of a different type of story I wrote Leo Laporte back when I was a teenager and he was on Call For Help. I asked him a very specific question about getting video card drivers to work with a specific video encoder (which, looking back, is a terrible question to ask someone who is doing a TV show and can only give back sound bite answers).

To my surprise he actually read my question and answered it on tv! It was so freaking cool! But, my inner teenager kicked in when I realized his answer was something I already tried. I sent him an really awful email in response. I called him terrible names. I was a complete shit.

I felt so bad about my actions _for years_ that I eventually emailed him a, what I thought was, a heartfelt apology for being such a shit. I got an email back a few days later from his wife telling me she shared it with him and to not worry about it.

I still feel bad about writing it...

Not necessarily true. Given source code, it's often possible to create binaries that run on modern computers, and it's often the case that web apps stop working because something they depended on disappeared or someone broke backwards compatibility.

I have a bit of a complaint. I've used something similar to the "derivative based model" (DBM) for 3D shading before, and tested them on moonscapes.

The angle-to-brightness curve can be adjusted as needed to avoid under or over-emphasizing mountain slopes. The "Andes" example is probably a case of exaggerating topology to illustrate relative differences, and NOT in inherent fault of slope-to-brightness maps (DBM-like). I can't say which one is more practical without going to the actual slopes to check the look and feel of the terrain and "feel" of the slopes. For technical accuracy, color coding is probably better (color-per-height), but slope-shaded maps are easier for regular folks to relate to.

Ray tracing is probably better when dealing with direct shadows and reflections, such as found with buildings. But for high level maps with mountains and rivers, I believe DBM is just fine if tuned right, and won't differ noticeably from comparable ray tracing.

To avoid misinterpretations, the large-scale shading should more or less mirror a semi-cloudy day such that direct shadows and reflections would play an extremely minor role anyhow.

I should point out there is an element of subjectivity here. Illustrations often exaggerate to emphasize various attributes of the illustration's target. Often there is a trade-off in terms of aiding the quick mental digestion of information versus "native" accuracy. Abstractions lie on purpose, or we wouldn't call them "abstractions".
I'm really happy to hear that. All the best.

Singapore’s land reclamation over the last few decades has been fascinating. Not sure how much longer it can continue though.

Failure or existential statement?
Bash strikes me as a bit of a mess, as in people threw the kitchen sink into it for 'portability'.

Things like being able to open a socket e.g. using the /dev/tcp/<ip>/<port> stuff give me the willies a bit.

I lean towards Ruby if it's going to be anything longer than a few lines, or requires anything but the simplest of logic/commands. Otherwise I was always told /bin/sh is likely to be the most portable, so tend to use that in the absence of any other good reason.
They are on a common electrical system. The train uses regenerative braking to put power into the 'grid'. The flywheel senses this and draws power to spin up. When the train tries to draw a huge current to speed up, the flywheel senses this and dumps power to meet the demand.

The idea of "channels" seems so archaic now. Why should extended news coverage push back the schedule?

News going long? Spawn a temporary, new channel and the coverage can continue there for those interested while the scheduled content continues on the main channel.

You're probably being truthful here, but then again, would you say anything else if you weren't part of a subsidiary of Facebook?
Well, state law could fall back on martian (with an "n") law. It doesn't matter. Laws exist to state the thing you cannot do. If there is no law against the thing, the thing's not illegal. Falling back on another system doesn't make it any less true that unless there's a law against a thing, you are free to do that thing. And I'd add that laws stating a thing must be done a certain way are simply excluding all other ways of doing a thing. And even if English Common Law fell back on some unspoken Viking Code, the entire body of law exists to state what is forbidden.
> Do we really have the right to the victims that they have an attitude problem if they don't forgive their offenders. The comfort of our crime free existence is partly possible due precisely 'medieval attitude' .

Pardon me, perhaps you're in a country with a "crime free existence." In my country, every week brings new atrocities and mass shootings. I'd expect such an effective strategy to perhaps have a lower total incarceration rate for victim-less crime and be better at prosecuting things like rape and murder.

> This is such a non solution. Yea we want to provide more opportunities for everyone, yea we want to live in crime free societies.

"Lock people up because it makes victims feel better" is equally unproductive, and we need only look at America's prison population vs our crime rate relative to our peers to see it.

> People who haven't been personally victimized by a brutal crime have no right to take moral high ground about the attitudes of victims. I cannot even begin to imagine the range of emotions victims go though.

> Its a privilege to be on a moral high ground, who wouldn't want to be there, feels so good.

Actually, it is an awful burden. But I don't think that pointing out "a failing, unfair system is not working" is a moral mountain to lecture down from. Your mileage may, of course, vary. But if you think you can browbeat me by suggesting that we must only listen to the most extreme opinions on violent crime by victims of said crime? It's both my right and duty within the context of my citizenship to disagree. I understand some people may passionately disagree, and I accept that conflict. I'm sorry if it's troubling, but I believe punitive justice is observably and obviously flawed and I will not support it simply because you say so.
That's the way it's supposed to work. The Supreme Court isn't interested in whether a law is effective, just whether it exceeds Constitutional restrictions on power.

It's up to Congress to make sure things work, and if the court breaks something, Congress can often just rewrite things in a bit less heavy handed fashion and get things working again.
Isn't that a failure to implement MIME parsing correctly?
The moment the MIME parser sees the BOUNDARY string, the part is finished. Then the content can be decoded and parsed, which is invalid HTML.

I was thinking about this the other day, why not use a liquid as the mass? Say water? If the spinning disk is treated like the tanks in a liquid tractor trailer, with slots to divide the mass up evenly.

When the disk starts spinning all the liquid turns into essentially a solid, if there is a massive failure, simple venting could easily disperse the liquid 360 degrees or away from people, etc... (ie, a giant massive mist explosion)

I've worked with power washers that are dangerous when focused, but when the water is dispersed, it's practically harmless.

Wait, what? Young people are not buying TVs anymore? I understand not watching terrestrial TV but I've always had like a TV plugged in to my laptop to play games and stream youtube/twich. More recently I just bought a roku TV and haven't really played much games so phone+roku TV seems sufficient.

Completely abandoning TVs but still watching videos of one kind or another seems weird.

> TL;DR: Obsolete distribution methods hamper creators.

If by that you mean cable TV, apparently Amazon wouldn't pay for the full cost of the show (or even enough with Netflix buying non-Us streaming rights), so it wasn't for SyFy being will to pay (apparently, too much, ultimately) for the rights to distribute it via an obsolete method, it wouldn't have been produced at all.

> SyFy can't distribute the series through the Internet directly to viewers for some weird reason

“Amazon has purchased the exclusive rights to do that (in the US, Netflix elsewhere)” is not a particularly weird reason.

The problem here isn't obsolete distribution mechanisms, it's that the sum total people are willing to pay for it is less than the people that make it are willing to accept to keep making it.
Well what are the downsides of this? One is not limited to Python 2.7 because of the operating system, for instance.

They didn't say all Greek intellectuals were that way, it's qualified with "those". They also aren't saying that all intellectuals today are cowards, it's qualified with "some of".

And you know, rolling our eyes at Trump while not talking about Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, sweeping the fact that the grass roots support for Sanders was unprecedented under the rug, not even attempting to see where one might "go from there"... just being constantly amazed and upset at Trump's antics, without using those 4 years for anything good or honest at all, is exactly as good as outright hopping into his lap. Like Bill Hicks said about Basic Instinct, he's a piece of shit, walk away... but no. Let's instead do anything but that, that's the ticket.

> Totalitarianism, however, does not so much promise an age of faith as an age of schizophrenia. A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud. Such a society, no matter how long it persists, can never afford to become either tolerant or intellectually stable. It can never permit either the truthful recording of facts or the emotional sincerity that literary creation demands. But to be corrupted by totalitarianism one does not have to live in a totalitarian country. The mere prevalence of certain ideas can spread a kind of poison that makes one subject after another impossible for literary purposes. Wherever there is an enforced orthodoxy - or even two orthodoxies, as often happens - good writing stops.

>Aren't you making a hundred-thousand-dollar-plus child-rearing bet that they'll feel guilty enough to care for you?

This is not how the things work.

>Why not just spend that money on a paid caretaker?

Lets imagine that single generation just stops having children. Where exactly does this caretaker come from?

Now imagine that just half does so. What will happen to the economic output and therefore with the accumulated value (money, stock, real estate) you plan to use to pay for these services? If the society is struggling to just keep up with itself then where exactly does this caretaker come from?

Economy is not a fixed state. It is a living organism. Riches are imaginary. If you have no sustainable economy then your riches will vanish.

>Just because other people are making a bad decision doesn't mean you have to make it, too.

I was pointing out that if sustainable thinking just dies out then perhaps that is not the outcome you would expect.
Your house can load 105A, but that's most likely at 120V/220V, and as you said, it doesn't maintain that for long.

Based on 120 kWh over 24 hours, your house, on a cold day, draws around 500 W. To fully charge a single 100 kWh battery, like you'd find in a new Model S, in an hour, you would need to draw 100 kW. That would be 200 times the average load on your house, drawn continuously, and that's only to charge one vehicle.

Something like a flywheel battery does have a lot of potential to save money, or even earn money, if it communicated with the grid. A large rotating mass could potentially store a lot of energy, and would be increasingly useful with the rise of renewable energy.
Emotions and relationships with other humans are still hard though.
I don't buy this. If the article explains it correctly, the argument is that they can show that in place where the climate was stable, and humans were new, the megafouna went extinct. But that implies that they believe that there were places on the planet were the climate was stable. If you look at the greenland Ice core data, you can see extreme peaks and falls around the last quarterly extinction. So sounds like BS to me.

Same here. I have cable but never use it. Nothing aside from the modem is even plugged into the cable outlet.

I do occasionally watch what might be considered "TV" but it's all through on-demand apps (Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and reluctantly Comcast's streaming app).

Broadcast television was a staple of my childhood and it's something that I miss (e.g., schoolyard discussions about last-nights episode of such-and-such tv show), but streaming television is so much better.

Most dishwashers have a heating element in the bottom that is used to both dry the dishes but also heat the water/keep it hot during the wash cycle.

If you pull hot water from the heater and circulate it around for 30 min, it's not going to be that hot at the end of the cycle.
