Our eyes are not perfect organs so why pretend like they are? Our eyes fail us:

• when it’s too dark
• when it’s too bright
• when there’s fog
• when there’s too much rain and snow
• when there’s glare from the sun
• when there’s obstructions
• when there’s sensory overload
• when there’s something covering our eyes like dirt and mud
• when we can only see on the visible spectrum

Why wouldn’t we want more incoming data to account for these shortcomings? Optical-only vision-based solutions are incomplete because our eyes are incomplete. I can’t see that a car is stopped dead in the road 10 feet ahead of me in thick fog, but an advanced set of telemetry sensors can. My eyes are not better than the scores of technology we’ve built over the past few decades and I’ve been practicing with them for 46 years. Give me a helmet that includes LIDAR and infrared and night vision and sonar and telemetry from a satellite and GPS and weather tracking and god knows what else and I’ll be much less likely to rear end that car in the fog. We humans invent technology to make up for our shortcomings, so why go with the idea of “if it’s good enough for biological evolution it’s good enough for these multi-ton contraptions we have hurtling down highways next to each other several metres apart at 100 km per hour every second of every day?” It sounds ludicrous on its face. We can choke on a peanut because our swallow tube is the next to the breathing tube ffs. We can do better.

Why would you say this

If Mercurial were as popular as Git I would presume that it would be rewritten in C or Rust, but who can say.

Also Subsurface, a scuba diving log program, but that one is not quite as well known.

I think it’s for any motor vehicle where tipping is likely. See this page with all sorts of pictures and examples, including old packaging.

Back in the 90s we had a convenience store down the street that had a multi-game arcade machine with four games in it, and they’d swap out the games periodically for other games and whatnot. Klax was in there for quite a while so I have some fond memories of that game. “KLAX WAVE” is burned into my brain forever.

Even more Contra 3: The Alien Wars vibes. That section where the missiles come towards you is straight out of the first level of Contra 3, like modern Mode 7 style. I dig it. This going to be co-op you think?

They don’t even need that anymore either, ‘cause they can just use the chips and magnetofluids they’ve injected into everyone via vaccines. So outdated.

‘Nuff said*

This is likely an extremely powerful weapon that can only be used once before it breaks so save it for the last boss.

Yeah for the rest of episode. Never seen him sleep on the floor or hide Bits n Bites after that.

Imagine if O’Brien had to actually deal with the trauma of being in a mind prison for 20 years and killing his only friend over some breadcrumbs. Dude should have been a shell of his former self but he was right as rain an hour later.

I’d like a counter of how many people have quit after not knowing where to go when you had to kneel in that one specific place for that specific amount of time to have a tornado come and take you whatever place it was.

Riker and Troi learn a life lesson and the exit the holodeck.

She was also part of the team that discovered and coined the term “bug” in relation to a computer defect. She didn’t invent the term herself directly, but she was part of the team that did.

Sounds like his life is in ruins now.

Technically I guess the T1000 can be anyone… but yeah it’s really Robert Patrick.

macOS has something to this effect where if it detects too many kernel panics in a row on boot it will disable all kernel extensions on the next reboot and it pops up a message explaining this. I’ve had this happen to me when my GPU was slowly dying. It eventually did bite the dust on me, but it did let me get into the system a few times to get what I needed before it was kaput.

The contacts inside are too big and sensitive and it results in phantom inputs. The DIY fix is to open up the controller and literally cover parts of the input contacts with tape.
