I just registered a domain for 10 years (the maximum allowed) and was wondering how likely I was to remember to renew. Auto-pay probably wouldn't work with credit card numbers changing. I might still be using the same email or at least

I did this with the multiply blend mode. I did it in a really convoluted way to take a single color image, split it into CMYK channels, and then overlay the transparencies, in html+css. http://deepf.art/cmyk.html

Maybe it's something related. When I ask ChatGPT technical questions I get very confident answers that are often completely wrong. But setting aside the confidence aspect, I notice ChatGPT responses can be vague and widely applicable.

I suspect the issue is that the reflective materials are weak. That is, a heat shield would survive longer against a laser than a mirror.

What is the current situation with sleep states? I've been seeing lots of conversations the last two years and I just don't have a big level picture of why it's such an issue now. I only use S4 (hibernate) because I can ignor

Yes, I had the same experience as you and had to not just read but play around with the MDN docs example to get it. I still think the functional formatting is confusing. It makes sense, the pattern applies to every "A*n + B"th ind

Might as well ask here: Why does DDG change my search results when I use the Back button, and how can I get it to stop. When I use DDG if I do a search, click on a link to open it in the same tab, then click back to the search results I not

Yes I should, but I didn't. I used to get emails from them: 2013-08-11 "Your Google Voice number --- has expired", 2021-04-11 "Your Google Voice number --- will expire in 30 days", 2021-11-06 "Your Google Voice

I found out yesterday that my Google Voice number was no longer mine. No inactivity warning email like I had received in the past, no notice at all, I just tried to Zelle some money to myself (testing the service with $1, thankfully) and w

I hate it too, it stretches the cute "Web 2.0" analogy (used to summarize the dramatic changes the web would undergo) much too far. I understand the appeal in co-opting "Web 3.0" -- every movement needs a catchy name --

This one got me recently, and the workaround that saved me was the save-as-pdf option hidden behind the "share" icon. Thankfully it uses the print stylesheet specified by the website.

Maybe this is misguided cheat, but couldn't you map any real number (between 0 and 1) to a natural number by mirroring the decimal digits across the decimal point. So 0.123 -> 321, but also sqrt(2)/2 -> ?601707 where ? is th

Thanks for sharing this, I'm trying it out now. One thing I noticed is that the translation links are auto-detecting the language, so some words are assumed by Google to be a language other than German.

Can you get it to actually say "most people have 10 legs"? The closest I get is that it restates the question in decimal and answers that way. Trying your approach: "Do most people have 10 legs?" "No, most people do

An example of plagiarism on Wikipedia. Even though it's well cited, the wiki authors are paraphrasing to pass off the original article's content as their own. Wikipedia: "It was described by Michael Shermer as Asimov's a
