Clicking the sound symbol does mute it, fyi.

That sounds like an excellent class of hypothetical devices. Sadly a niche market at the moment though.

When more than a student or two has the idea of using the library's copy, it becomes a battle over who will be able to check out the limited number of copies. Sometimes this becomes serious enough that the library will freeze the avail

HN seems to assume most URLs won't end with a period? I suppose that's reasonable, and URI escaping symbols is always an option. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Speer,_Jr%2E

Is that quote from something? I really enjoy the dubious logic.

Here I was reminded of my years of LaTeX torments with "error: underflow mbox" or similar.

I just submitted a question on "running out" of renewable energy that included this scenario, so fingers crossed!

It appears the new definition is going to be something like "the current (in the direction of flow) of 6.2415093*10^18 elementary charges passing a boundary in 1 second", replacing that number with a specific 19-digit value. [1] [

I've used anechoic chambers of varying quietness for making high-quality voice recordings a handful of times in the last year. I have to say that the effect of being inside always surprises me. The air seems to have such an ethereal du

The reading I think they are going for is that preprocessors generate CSS from something else, while this uses (the platonic ideal of "true") CSS and generates the shambled code that the browser needs. But I could be way off.

I'm so angry with this. Good work.

I didn't realize European automated machines would basically never accept my cards. On a subsequent trip I tried to get chip card, but neither my personal banker nor the branch manager at Wells Fargo had ever even heard of them and in

Excellent! I'll have to spend a while exploring the archives. I just happened to have "proved" to myself the linearity of a very similar animation a few weeks ago. :) http://i.imgur.com/fxHj3kZ.gif

Makes me think how adding link shorteners really compounds the problem. Do these services check if there is a bit.ly version of the URL on all of the social sites? What about multiply-shortened URLs? (presumably that would be a waste, but

I believe he meant minus. For the purposes of linear independence, there is no significance of positive vs negative coefficients. EDIT: Wow, go team.

I really appreciate this viewpoint, because I was trying to understand the apparent disconnect between my American and European friends on the suggestion of protesting, and now I do think the function of public space has much to do with it

The "roads have only one name" rings very true for me. I usually denote my road as "S Hwy X" (where X is a letter, not a number). But over the years the official USPS designation has changed slightly and different organizations have differe

Though I don't think many US programmers would think postal codes were small. My rural birthplace ZIP has a few thousand addresses and there are some ZIPs here with over 100,000. But yes indeed I learned quite a few things about the Royal

I would also add that most modern linguists tend to view only instantaneous language production (i.e. casual speech and sign language) as representative of natural grammar. Once you incorporate conscious processes into it (as in writing), y

Thus the challenge of modern syntactic theory - to most it is clear there is some structure occurring, but attempts to quantify it are still beaten by rather naive statistical approaches.

I don't think finding a formula in general would be hard; I'd imagine there's a pretty easy method akin to fourier or Taylor series for arbitrary parametric shapes. But doing so in a compact formula doesn't feel like a trivial problem.
