I'd encourage you to maintain and publish your list of search engines. Even if you aren't supporting them. The list has value on its own, especially if you maintain it.

Does no one else just talk simultaneously? I only do this with friends I am familiar with, but it's quite efficient to respond to things in real time, without waiting for people to stop.

What they have written is they are going to force a change. It's very clear. As soon as we have moved most people over, we will force you to move. You don't even have to read between the lines, it's explicit. "We won&#x2

So much of performance is memory access now. The instructions can be fine and the access pattern wrecks you.

Don't most of the computation as to the total energy of the event assume the event radiates equally in all directions? Isn't the amount of energy drastically smaller if it's a focused beam? Why do we assume spherical and not,

It's interesting the the article thus shows the same kind of selection bias that they were complaining about.

Interesting that they don't mention amazon bestseller lists. I believe the amazon lists are purely mathematical. (Why do I believe this? Because I haven't heard any author complaining about it. Whereas everything in the post about

How much more money is an app user worth, compared to a web user? It must be substantial, as sites like yelp are actually unusable on mobile web, as they constantly try to install the app. It seems like it's better to lose a customer t

The distinction is a good one, but the word "engineer" has a long history and varied uses. The guy who runs a train is an "engineer", is he licensed? (maybe he is). It would be better to create a specific term, like &quo

The fact that misspelling need to be turned in open search does not mean anything "failed". If you want spelling correction, turn it on, don't call it failure.

so, doesn't look like it's finding the cheapest. You should probably check against amazon as a sanity check. (I was ignoring shipping, here) Do you take shipping into account?

24 FPS can look "off" to an audience, too. As someone who hates 24fps, because it looks way too jerky, and not lifelike, the sooner we lose 24FPS, the better.

SQLite's maintainers have a choice. They can spend their time coding, or they can spend their time explaining, over and over again, why they don't want to do a distributed database. I can see why they don't take contributions

Both are valid concerns. But I feel that "dying of something that could have been treated, if found earlier" trumps both.

You can get them from various online retailers, but marzipan does not travel well. Leave it in a warehouse that's not designed for food storage and it's going to go bad very quickly. Not to mention it's about 65$/pound f

It's hard to take anyone's marzipan seriously, if all the marzipan they sell must be flavored with something. 90 percent of their "marzipan" products are covered in chocolate. If your marzipan is good, other flavors are

While I totally understand his point about excessive intervention, ignorance is not the answer. You absolutely can say "no" to doctors. Of course, with tests that are of themselves dangerous, that's another issue. Skip those

I dislike sites, like phys.org, that don't have a proper "opt out" from tracking. I encourage people to not visit them.

I suspect that basing synthesized actors based on real actors is a transitional thing. Studios would rather create actors. So they own the actor outright, and not pay royalties.

This is correct. The only difference between this and commercial software is the user expects a fix for free. No commercial vendor is going to revert an important change for a customer giving them zero money. If you are paying them millions

Don't just record successful companies. You can't figure out what actually matters if you don't compare to failed companies. If ten successful companies do something, you'll think it's a good thing to do. But what i

I don't think it matters if it's legal. If they succeed in charging anyone, most people will respond with chargebacks, which their bank will likely support, in this case. The only case I can see them getting money is if someone ac
