Detecting cheaters involved a cat-and-mouse game between developers. Developed a […]
Credit: Toth V. T. & Turyshev, S.G. predict that a solar gravitational lens can be used to observe distant galaxies and even nearby exoplanets. The proposed telescope would be the size of the sun, providing a resolution of 10 square kilometers for objects 100 light-years away. Despite diffraction limitations, the telescope could detect a 1 […]
This web content discusses the importance of hardening C, C++, and Objective C toolchains to deliver reliable and secure code. It addresses the configuration, preprocessor, compiler, and linker aspects commonly overlooked in project setups. Debug builds help catch mistakes during development, while release builds are optimized for production. Test builds ensure interfaces are thoroughly tested. […]
Birds, the only permanent bipeds in the animal kingdom, maintain their balance using a mysterious mechanism called tensegrity, a combination of tension and compression. Researchers at the National Museum of Natural History and the CNRS discovered that birds can sleep while standing, due to their structure similar to human legs. By studying the feet of […]
