The Weekly Weird - 2020-11-06
- Ok, so maybe 'life on Venus' was a bit premature. But, something weird is going on with Titan so don't give up hope.
- I've definitely been holding out a bit on getting a 3d printer since the resulting prints are so limited in their strength. I was not aware that the main limitation seems to have been printing at hotter temperatures.
- I'm so very glad that we've moved on from inventing artisinal file formats and now everything is just a zipfile:
- Jar (and twelve different other similar formats)
- OpenOffice and OpenDocument
- Chrome Extensions
- Self-contained python executables
- I guess having a satellite backbone does let you put little datacenters anywhere.
