Yes you can. Green lasers, the cheap ones you can easily buy, usually work by frequency doubling, using a non-linear crystal that converts two 1064 nm photons into a 532 nm photon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The human body radiates at about 9.5 um, and the article says the mice were able to see at about 980 nm. For a body to radiate at that wavelenght it would have to be at around 3000 K. Hot enough indeed...
I don't know about other countries, but I'm Spanish and here "mulato" is not offensive at all, in fact depending on the context it can even be positive. Also, some Latin American people (I'm not sure about the countries, sorry) call each other "mi negro/a" as a term of endearment.
Norway is in position 11, the USA is in position 37.
And no, I haven't lived in Norway, but I have some friends who have lived there, and what they say is totally the opposite of what you say, and they work in the healthcare sector. Also, I have American friends who, after living for years in Europe, were afraid of going back to the USA and getting any serious illness.
Not locking your phone is good and all until you have some drinks with some friends that decide to prank on you, using your phone to post bullshit on social media, or reading your conversations, or whatever.
You don't have much of a clue about how modern computers work, do you? Go program a MCU and then you will realize how much magic there is between your C code and the CPU.
For a full frame 35mm film (36x24mm) to resolve 90 megapixels, it should have a resolution of 160 lines/mm. Such film exists (Fuji Velvia 50, for example), but only under ideal lighting conditions and high contrast images. Cinema used a film format half as big (24x18 mm), so the resolution would have to be 230 lines/mm. Without getting into a very long winded debate, getting 90 megapixels out of 35 mm film is pure fantasy. From IMAX, sure, but from 35mm, no.
Bluray bitrate may be overkill, so what? If you have space to spare, why not use it? The final price will be the same, and the quality much better. A physical copy playing on your local machine doesn't have the bandwith limitations of a streaming service.
And Netflix can say whatever the want, but 1080p at 5 Mbps looks like shit, unless the scene is really static.
I still have a working LaserDisc unit, and let me tell you DVD is way, way better.
First, the resolution. LaserDisc was about 580x420 for NTSC and 580x440 for PAL (interlaced), whereas DVD is 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL (interlaced or progressive). Second, the compression. LaserDisc was encoded as composite color and recorded using PWM. It doesn't suffer the artifacts of digital codecs like blocking or ringing, but it suffers all the artifacts of composite signals, like abismal color separation and general blurriness.
I recently bought an Asus Zenfone 5Q. Today I tried to uninstall Facebook, and I found out the best you can do is uninstall all the updates and disable the app, but it's impossible to fully remove it.
Only 20 years (19 actually) ago because it was when home Internet access started to become affordable in Spain, but I had been wanting to play online for years:P
Well, not that many years, as I was born in 1985, but even at the age of 10 I knew that the Internet existed and I wanted to get online!
I'm old enough to have been playing online games for almost 20 years.
My experience is that half of the fun from an online game comes from the game itself, and the other half from the people you play with. What the article describes, I have experienced it with other games. For me, 5 years ago it was Minecraft, 7 years ago it was D&D Online, 10 years ago it was Day of Defeat Source, 12 years ago it was World of Warcraft, 16 years ago it was Diablo 2, 18 years ago it was the original Counter Strike. Fun games on their own right, but many days I would just play to hang out with people. Of those, Day of Defeat Source was the game in which I had the most fun, the community was small but fantastic.
Anyway, enough for the old time rant. Let the kids (and the adults) enjoy Fortnite. The fad will pass and in a few years few of them will still be playing it, but the memories of the good times will live on forever.
Dude, I don't know what world you live in, but most people out there neither know nor care who Brandon Eich is or what he did, or if he was fired from somewhere.
Anyway, I will forever hate him for creating the monstruosity that is JavaScript.
Intuitive my ass. Ok, let asume a foot is length of your foot with your shoes on. How long is a mile then? "Mile" means "thousand", and indeed the original Roman mile was a thousand paces, a pace being around 5 feet. An English mile is... 1760 yards, or 5280 feet. And don't get me started on surface and volume measurements.
There are two types of countries in the world. Those that use obsolete units, and that one that put the first man into space and almost 60 years later is still doing it.
Japan got nuked because the USA were the first to get nukes. Now that many countries have them, try to do it. Try to nuke China and you will see the USA turned into a radioactive wasteland.

Horrible healthcare? Dude, any country in the developed world has better healthcare than the USA.
You don't have much of a clue about how modern computers work, do you? Go program a MCU and then you will realize how much magic there is between your C code and the CPU.
Are you purposely forgeting about libc? malloc/free IS a runtime, for example.
I have coded in C without a runtime, writing bare-metal code for microcontrollers, but the code you run on your PC has a runtime.
I took a look at some Directory Opus screenshots, and what is so wonderful about it that Dolphin doesn't have?
It's a Japanese word, and Japanese doesn't have grammatical number, so... maybe.

More like crashing space probes on other planets because someone mixed up the units.
Don't you want to be mass shooted in the US?

Japan doesn't have a labor shortage. What they have is tons of bullshit jobs to pretend that everybody is busy.
Are you talking about IBM or about SAP?
Japan got nuked because the USA were the first to get nukes. Now that many countries have them, try to do it. Try to nuke China and you will see the USA turned into a radioactive wasteland.
