If you want an expensive hobby, get into modular sythesizers! Other stuff is of course even more expensive, but this one's the worst I've personally ever dipped into. It's a bit like CCGs, only instead of booster packs you bu

Out of curiosity I just looked up the year 1592 on Wikipedia, to see if anything interesting happened on 3.14. that year. It is marked "Ultimate Pi Day".

Also, if the incoming light is banded you might end up throwing away 100% if the sensors happen to fall into the gaps.

Thanks, and +1 for good faith effort. I know about the reader mode, and will use it if necessary. But this will loose me all pictures, gif/js animations, and whatnot. I prefer to just have readable websites. I know and accept that some

Not so many less flights. Airlines need to use their slots or loose them. Ergo: Lots of (near) empty flights. Edit: Reference: https://www.businessinsider.de/international/coronavirus-air...

Counterpoint: I have bad eyesight and I want to curse every time I see these very thin fonts. Or low contrast color schemes, for that matter.

So it boils down using suitable biases/constraints, no? I think more people need to learn to see the positive side of TANSTAAFL...

I suppose because of a historical text mode screen width (80x25 and later 80x43 and 80x50 were all widely used de facto standards).

No, chance puts it at a /distribution centered/ on 50-50.

Doesn't an /almost/ perfect cancellation actually make the question "Why is it so close?" not "Why is there an asymmetry at all?". If I tossed a million coins and ended up 499,999 heads and 500,001 tails I

Can any physicist tell me if there is even necessarily a mystery involved? If matter and antimatter are made from the same building blocks, couldn't a prevalence of one over the other be down to chance?

Pretty decent, but covers the pre-test loop as "loop" (unqualified), omitting the post-test loop.

Well, we know that ants use their extended phenotype (pheromone trails) as part of their collective decision making processes. And we know spiders that use their extended phenotype (net) as part of their sensing apparatus. And we know that

According to the German Wikipedia article at least, that headline is plain wrong [1][2]. The Article states explicitly that this was not used to punish bad musicians, but for infractions against the law which were not deemed serious enough

I fear that if I voiced the opinion I hold of my dear government, I shall be voted down into oblivion for gratuitous use of colourfully explicit language, and rightfully so. The only comfort that is given me, is that this stain on European

Clickbait title. They looked at the details of a long known mode of evolution in a specific organism. Epigenetics has been seriously studied for decades by now, and methylation in general is also an old hat. Sure, there's many details

Funny, where I come from the earliest computer science departments at universities where basically joint ventures of the maths and electric engineering departments. Consequently they were quite maths heavy, and it shows to this day.

I suppose banning everything that pulls in stuff from any of the big ad-pushing companies would be quite a good start. You could probably even use existing open source ad-blocker blacklists. The only workaround from the top of my head is se
