While I agree the ensuing argument was excessive, I'll provide a defense of the "botched" definition. The top definition for "predicate", that most people are familiar with, and that was omitted from the dictionar

Is the use of "isomorphic" in "isomorphic javascript" that far off? You're mapping [program, output] pairs from one environment (client) to another (server), ideally creating the same structure. Isn't that an i

Uninformed question: isn't this somewhat what we'd expect? Neutrinos interact very weakly with matter so they're much more likely to stay in superposition? Or is this happening at a much greater scale than expected?

I'm so glad this is the top comment, and matches my experience 100%. If a product brags about its Bluetooth support, I immediately start losing trust in it. So many devices have such bad UX for pairing too, so I can't even get any

Another challenge is that there is very little corpus data available for ASL (for one thing, there's no natural orthography so notation systems can vary wildly between studies and have only started coalescing recently). So you really c

The "without affiliation" aspect is a dealbreaker in many fields. Lots of journals won't even acknowledge you if you're not at an academic institution.

Have you seen the XKCD What If on this topic? [1] It doesn't get into the details of éntendue, and even makes a joke about the topic's complexity, so it probably won't satisfy your technical demands. But I've found the a

Decreasing the loop's upper bound to Math.sqrt(value) and only testing odd values after 2 are really simple ways to improve performance. Beyond that it'd be nice to build a list of previously determined primes to reduce your numbe

I think this (and Dear GH) has been a reminder of how hard UX is, because many of these complaints have never fazed me. Of course that says nothing about the quality of this project, and I'm glad people are pursuing their own solutions

A fusion reactor needs a lot of energy (heat & electricity) in order to make more. But a big problem is that the heat wants to escape. (Think of when you hold something warm -- the warmth you feel is the heat escaping into your hands! H
