When I get close to the monitor the # of stars that appear to spin is greater than when I move my head far away. That is, the area of screen space with spinning stars increases as I get closer. Do other people get the same effect? I thought

Here's what I did, which works much better than phone apps or scanners. Mount a digital camera on a tripod and bring a couple lamps over for strong uniform lighting. Turn the page, take a picture, turn the page, take a picture. You&#x2

Going through the levels I find myself wishing I could explicitly use HEAD any place I could use a branch name. It seems like it just adds to the variety of subtly different ways of moving pointers around. git branch -f master c0 <-

This is what I remember as well. I remember my mother using her own rope net grocery bags as an alternative to the paper ones. I remember in school we switched from single-portion paper milk cartons to square bags of milk that you punctured

This kind of statement really depends on what you mean by "worthwhile". Writing doesn't have to (and rarely does) give raw information to provide worth. Sometimes it just points in a direction, sometimes it just collects peop

This is the second article by David Graeber (died recently) I've read today. About 15 years separate the two, but the style is similar. Can someone explain it to me: What is the joke? Or, what context am I missing? Wikipedia isn't

I'm surprised the game doesn't make more use of Microsoft's existing building data and aerial photography. Maybe someone can explain. But Bing maps has very detailed 3D building shape data and aerial "Birds Eye" pho

Amazon has been sending me someone else's order details for about a year now. It's crazy to me for multiple reasons: 1. They send this information (order details, name, address, tracking numbers, receipt) without requiring a confi

Is this (fluorescent materials) why the lights on laptop power cables now slowly fade out when unplugged, as opposed to suddenly turning off? Just a small question that's been in the back of my mind for awhile.

I have medium length hair, not at my shoulders but over my ears. My routine is to shower as normal (a couple times a week, or as needed) and always scrub and rinse my hair as if I were using shampoo but just without. I like to massage/

I also encourage people to stop using shampoo. I stopped over ten years ago and love the results, it's such a nice change I feel strongly enough to encourage others to do the same. Quarantine is a good time to try something different.

I think what you've said is fine concerning monetary value. But I want to be clear I was talking about artistic value. It's important to make the distinction as this is a museum exhibit.

by aimor 6y ago
You'd have to explain how you price artistic value before anyone can argue with that. But these paintings are also cultural artifacts of a popular show. That they're paintings has misled you. "While serving as a tribute to th

I once bought a lawnmower where someone had swapped it out with a lower-end model. That was from Lowe's. I'd like to know what action companies take against this type of theft, it seems trivial to identify the culprit but maybe di

There's a lot of resistance to creating an explicit National ID card. There's also the Real ID act passed by Bush in 2005 (and whatever implementation and changes have been made in the 15 years since) that did create a national ID

If you don't mind my asking, what was the total cost for this project? I run a lot of website projects off of Pi-0Ws and have been poking around with doing a solar project myself.

I was actually relieved when the author came around to my own experience: camera phones are 90% there, but being in that 10% space with only a phone is endlessly frustrating. Beyond quality, I also dislike how camera phones have cheapened p
