Yes, if all you wanted was a simple chart I wouldn't take the time to learn D3 unless I was motivated to learn it for other reasons. There are simpler solutions for simple charts. I have used D3 for complicated visualizations, for exa

I thought the same but they apparently mean only a human-powered ornithopter, which I believe is still an open problem. And for good reason.

Very cool. >They appear to shoot the entire vehicle out of a cannon-like container, then air-ignite the booster. They have an interesting launch platform, maybe they are trying to limit the damage to equipment? As it is their strategy se

Here is the advice: - Avoid vertical lines - Avoid “boxing up” cells, usually 3 horizontal lines are enough: above, below, and after heading (see examples in this guide) - Avoid double horizontal lines - Enough space between rows - If in do

I mean I'm not driven to be "smarter", whatever that is. I am immersed in finding out more about everything that interests me. Like I don't read to be well read. I don't listen to news to be informed. I read and lis

I think you are right that they are getting to valid points, but I am saying they don't necessarily relate to a theory of intellectual humility.

A questionnaire from the article: 1) I am willing to admit if I don't know something. 2) I like to compliment others on their intellectual strengths. 3) I try to reflect on my weaknesses in order to develop my intelligence. 4) I active

The crowd reaction is in the original video hosted at Apple. Not like it's suppressed as part of some conspiracy. They announce the price and the crowd laughs a bit (like whaaaat?) It's clearly very expensive, but it's a bunc

For years Apple has said iPad and iOS in particular is not the same use case as mac/maOS. They are complements.

Anybody have experience with buying app store ads? I wonder if they could provide a crucial bump in a situation like this where presumably the reviews are good but you drop because of things beyond your control.

People also seem to equate nuclear power accidents with nuclear bombs, like a Hiroshima bomb.

Very welcome news here, I was wondering if they would end-of-life this product and hoped for the best. It fills an important niche, sort of a micro iPad.

Yeah, our goats were cute but jerks. The sheep were only annoying when they decided to ignore all attempts to herd them.

So your propulsion systems are all designed for vacuum? How does one fully validate such a system on the ground? [edit] Also: what are the trade-offs in scaling by bundling several thrusters together vs building a bigger thruster?

Wait, this is talking about actual physical fabrics ... woven textiles. See this is why I hate figurative terms like "data fabrics" all over the place. It makes for terrific confusion when the real thing comes along.

I always saw it labeled as "Lady with Ermine", but since they are the same thing both are fine. Although Wikipedia says the term Ermine is used more when talking about an all-white stoat. Usually you see the white fur-lined cloaks

This is about the 30% that Apple charges developers for app store sales. This will be interesting to see if the courts will buy the argument that this is an abuse of monopoly power. Not sure if this will succeed but happy if it does I thin

VERY interesting presentation of details on how the nested spheres were carved, with some surprising results, e.g.: layers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are clearly visible layers 6, 7, 8 and 9 are carved ‘blindly’
