Pretty much. There was no CME associated with this flare, so it didn't cause any geomagnetic effects-- just HF radio interference. If you were trying to listen to your shortwave radio in Australia at the time, you might've been

You can move between registrars, but the registrar's not the one that you're leasing the domain from; they're just a reseller. The entity that you're actually leasing the domain from is the registry operator-- such as V

Java + Swing was doing cross-platform desktop apps long before Electron was a thing; my editor of choice for years (before moving to Sublime, then Atom and VS Code) was a Swing-based cross-platform editor called JEdit. And the JetBrains ID

It doesn't stick strongly enough that you can't push it off with your fingers-- easier to do that one-handed than unplugging a Lightning or USB-C cable. With a heavier Magsafe charger (like most of the stands out there), you can

It’s possible (with the ISO week calendar) to have a week 53– on years where Jan 1 is on Thursday or Wednesday for leap years. 2022 was not such a year; there appears to be a bug here.

Nintendo DS did something similar, with the GBA’s ARM7 running in conjunction with the DS’s ARM9 and acting largely as an I/O coprocessor (IIRC) and handling backwards compatibility. The Wii and Wii U go a little further; in addition t

If you want to get pedantic, LEGO is a brand name and used as an adjective. The things the LEGO group sells are not Lego or Legos; they’re LEGO bricks or LEGO sets. Only really makes sense to resort to such pedantry if you’re LEGO’s market

Vim and emacs do not adhere to platform conventions anywhere, unless your platform happens to be "emacs".

"VSCode is the greatest productivity tool in the history of software engineering" in a world where vi and emacs exist seems like a bit of an exaggeration, and I'm not even a fan of either (VS Code is my daily driver; I like m

Apple uses price points rather than having developers explicitly specify prices because they're currency-independent: you specify a price point and Apple chooses appropriate prices for each of the ~175 different storefronts where your

There is no network-wide ban; each server manages its own list of banned remote servers. There are lists of servers with bad reputations that get passed around and form the beginnings of many servers’ blocklists, but there’s no central enti

This won't turn into Betamax/VHS or Blu-ray/HD-DVD because CCS has already won-- every EV sold in the US except Tesla (and maybe still the Nissan Leaf; they may still be on CHAdeMO) has CCS Type 1. This is probably too lit

ISS isn't always brighter than Venus, which can get almost to magnitude -5 when things line up right. The ISS will still generally be the first, second, or third brightest thing in the night sky on a good, near-overhead pass.

My guess is that they don't do that because that would change behavior for developers that are intentionally overriding existing methods-- like one might do if monkey-patching a method to work around a bug, or polyfill newer functiona

Probably not what you think— ‘ch’ specifies length in terms of the width of a ‘0’ character in the element’s font, not in terms of actual character count.
