Wow, I am now extremely curious about what the inside of that cave looked like! But I suppose taking pictures of it wouldn't have really served enough practical purpose to deal with hauling something back out of the hole, not the mention the lingering radiation from the previous test would probably instantly expose any film sent down there.
Still! What does the container for a nuclear explosion look like on the inside? Is it smooth and glassy? Does molten material drip down and form stalactites and stalagmites? Does the surface crack as it cools? What color is everything?
It's not completely free, and not completely open source, but we've been very happy with Octopus Deploy https://octopus.com/
That and Topshelf https://github.com/Topshelf/Topshelf have made deploying Windows services very easy. Topshelf is slowly adding some Linux/mono support, and OctopusDeploy supports SSH as a deployment option, but unsurprisingly things aren't as nice if Windows isn't your target.
After Disney bought LucasFilm they laid off everyone at LucasArts except those responsible for handling licensing [1]. ILM's work here seems focused on more cinematic stuff - the word "game" doesn't appear once in the article.
By the way, a lot of the missing content in KotOR 2 has been restored by a mod called "The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification." There's a standalone version if you still have the original discs rattling around, but the easiest way to get it now is to use the Steam Workshop [2]; the game was recently updated (after 10 years!) to add easier mod support, controller support, etc.
There's been a big push around composting lately, to the point where there will be fines for having too many compostables in the trash. People were up in arms over this, as it meant that the waste collection people would be rooting around in your trash to determine if it was complaint, though apparently they can't open opaque bags to check so it's pretty much a non-issue.
I liked their example of a restaurant putting them in the bar top. Right now people who want to charge their phones have to decide if you want to plug in a data cable with something unknown on the other end. With wireless charging the attack surface is greatly reduced, if harder to eliminate completely (programming the embedded charge controller vs using a USB condom).
As someone familiar (and generally quite happy with) reactive programming, what does Erlang/Elixir do that makes it a more general, better solution? And to what types of problems, specifically?
I think the reason that I picked up Rx is that it was a natural extension of LINQ, both literally and figuratively. What made Rx really click for me was thinking of it in terms of IEnumerable that explicitly acknowledged of the time domain. Since then I've come to understand some of the concepts that underlay both of them (monads, mostly), but I wouldn't have made the leap to Rx if it wasn't so easy to get there from existing knowledge. I haven't encountered anything where the next step would be "learn Erlang." You can make the argument that we should all learn about things that are unfamiliar, but there are lot of things that are unfamiliar and I haven't seen a lot of reasons why Erlang should rise to the top.
No, it doesn't seem so. I have Silverlight installed but set to click-to-run, and the site will provide suggestions for the sample without running the Silverlight control.
You could try loading the assemblies up in dotPeek and poking around. You miss out on the XAML (though you'll see the code the XAML was transformed into), the compiler generated stuff for await is a little ugly, and obviously you wouldn't be able to re-use any of the code you see, but if you're just curious...
It might be an unfair comparison as MvX is a much older project but it felt more like something cobbled together over time than something really thought out. I also really like the reactive approach - your view model describes the relationships between its properties as they change rather than have a morass of interlinked event handlers.

So that customers who don't want to have to mess with emulators can just buy a game and play it?
That's one of the primary reasons to use GOG - even the ancient games they sell (in my experience) Just Work. They would be far, far less successful if every customer had to become an expert in DOSBOX in order to play an impulse buy of a game from their youth.
While some sources call into question the health effects of EM radiation, radios aren't causing vomiting and hair loss unless they're also made of radium.
