If only millions of people suffering from lack of water knew this.

According to this logic the ideal situation is when there are no farms anymore because then each (out of zero) farm gets maximum water.

The problem is that you take the water from the ground, and you let it evaporate, and then it returns to... Well to various places, including the ground, but the deeper you take the water from (drinking water can't be taken from the su

A farmer is a valuable perspective but imagine asking a lumberjack about the ecological effects of deforestation, he might know more about it than an average Joe, but there's probably better people to ask for expertise? > Honestly,

I think fewer and fewer people want Mozilla in their Firefox ;) Maybe we'll get a better non-profit organization make a Firefox fork at some point.

People publish stuff on the Internet for various reasons. Sometimes they want to share information, but if the information is shared, they want to be *attributed* as the authors. > If you didn't want others to read your information

You don't need an implicit philosophical assumption, you just need to define what an infinity is and the comparison method.

In such case take the worst (maybe disregarding 20% worst) ad length, and open a copy of the video advanced by that length. As soon as the ad starts to play, switch to the copy of the video. Of course you could be unlucky and the copy could

Of course it can. With how one-sided TOS typically is, it is unlikely, I don't see how one could obtain certainty about TOS being absolutely one-sided and not putting any burden on the service provider, therefore TOS, being an agreemen

Try taking a look at Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow for other things than programming) - it's not perfect of course, but IMO the site's format promotes cold arguments.

Sorry, I don't know much about the subject, so this is not a rhetorical or even just loaded question: Isn't it actually the case that you started with 3 strangers, but 27 of them were relatively easy (still took some time) to figu

Looking at the "Brightness Contrast Score", clearly dark posters are on the left - even those with high contrast like 2nd, 4th, 5th poster, whereas the "high contrast" is often given to a very bright poster that happens

I'd bet you can find some correlation due to very bad and niche movies having very low budget and very predictable, bland posters. Moreover, bad movies might turn to colored posters later than good movies with high budget, so historica

That "insane reason" is the propaganda machine(s) of russia and china. Konfederacja is called Konfederussia by many Poles just because how often what they say align with russian interest. The founder of Konfederacja, Janusz Korwin

Cool! Thanks for that; it makes perfect sense: if you convert the rotation to axis-angle, and then take that axis, obviously a vector rotated around the axis defined by itself won't change. I just tested it: from bpy import conte

The tabs reuse resources of the browser, and the browser does it really well - I think it's not even arguable that browsers are more complex than the OS GUI API, this is why e.g. Windows 11 uses react.js in start menu. So if you create

It's about being "essential" or not, not about tracking. Also keep in mind with enough preferences you could have unique or near-unique fingerprint of preferences which could be used for tracking.

Don't worry about negative comments, yes, this is not the best way, but (if there's no error, I didn't analyze it thoroughly) it's often good enough; if it works, then it works. I once wanted to find a vector for which E

From just scanning through the article quickly, I don't see there the mantissa similarly easily explained, but there is a very intuitive way to think of it. Because the mantissa (like everything else) is encoded in binary, the first ex

This kind of problem appears also with floats, just later with 32-bit floats than with 64-bit ints. And the solution to this problem is to adjust your coordinate space, e.g. make every nanometer represented as `1` but have the containing ob

I solved this problem in Blender [1] in the past using python's `random.triangular()` [2], and the name suggests this problem is the best example of when you would need `triangular()` and how its distribution works. [1] https:/&#

Not square, rectangle. The article speaks of a parallelogram but you can the distribution will be the same for the rectangle.

I think most of the "horror stories" aren't related to cases like this. So we can at least agree most such stories could be easily avoided, before we looked at solutions to these more nuanced problems (one of which would be c
