We overwhelmingly use Celcius for temperature in Europe though, so the Fahrenheit option isn't as obvious as it might be in the US.

Imagine a rope, and an infinite crowd of people wanting to play tug of war. If the rope is only 4 meters long, only a few people can tug, and the rope stays together. Now imagine the rope is 1 light year long. Say each person needs about 1

Let's say the universe is turn-based, and consists of a single dimension. At the end of each turn the distance between two points in this universe doubles (because new empty space is created between them). Let the maximum speed in this

Your perception is incorrect. You are certainly not alone in wanting downvotes to be different, but the current policy is that downvotes for disagreement are allowed.

by Thiez 5y ago
It's a very controversial topic, and downvoting to indicate disagreement is allowed. Seeing so many downvotes under these circumstances is not that surprising, is it?

It's all terribly off-topic, but presumably they are talking about Matthew 19:24, which says (ymmv based on your exact translation): "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone wh

How does a pip effect improved performance when the employee isn't even aware they're in one? Is trying to switch teams the only way to discover that, or are there other indirect ways?

The manifesto exists since 2007, but they describe principles that Mozilla has held since it was founded in 1998[0]. I wouldn't personally describe them as a "politics first, software second" organization, but that's mos

That's an interesting assumption. So only acts that are in "harmony" with what your body desires are rational, and all other acts are, by your definition, irrational? So when I'm under water, swimming up to the surface

Doesn't this just result in more organizations having your data? Presumably most DNS entries have some finite TTL, such as a few minutes / hours / days. Let's say one of your favorite websites has a TTL of 10 hours, an

Well it depends on your definition of sandboxed. Does your program have permission to perform I/O, either by reading/writing to a filesystem or sending/receiving data on a network? Most "interesting" programs can pe

Then you'll be happy to learn that what you propose has been the case for consumer computers since protected mode was added to Intel 80286 processors in 1982. I think few people in this discussion are worrying about programs directly a

I have no experience in that area myself, but I assume most businesses (and schools!) track inventory. I would expect there to be plenty of commercial off-the-shelf inventory tracking solutions by now. Isn't that the case?
