is it, though? https://github.com/SLaks/Silon#implementation-details "Silon is implemented using LESS to generate CSS selectors for every combination of inputs that will turn each gate on. In effect, I created a L

as I understand it, the argument is that "bad" construction will make the neighborhood less desirable and cause the value of their property to drop

it's decent. not world-class, but getting better. the light rail was recently extended and future plans for expansion seem to be met with approval, although they're at least a decade off. the buses are crowded during peak hours wh

quantum teleportation is not instant, since the information about the particle's quantum state is still sent over a classical channel

you can't "communicate", but it would be useful for qubits in one quantum computer to be sent to another quantum computer without physically moving the qubit. that was what I meant by wide-area quantum information networks

eh, Google Labs is still very obviously Google though. the idea would be, for each new product, to create an entirely new brand with no obvious connection to Google, that Google could later bring on full time if they decide they're rea

right, "quantum teleportation" is a woefully misleading name, however this is still an impressive advancement and quantum teleportation will play a key role in wide-area quantum information networks

this reminds me of the "GIMPressionist" plugin in the GIMP, which can be coerced into producing pictures like this

this is super cool! I'm especially impressed he built his own lens too. it would have been really easy to justify using an existing lens

~. (and the other ~ commands) are handled locally, not by the remote sshd. I use it when my network cuts out or something and my ssh session is unrecoverably stuck

this reminds me of something I made once that was basically exactly this, but included a button you could click that would run, more or less window.location = "data:text/html," + document.documentElement.outerHTML fu

people who drive probably aren't going to eat less because they're walking less. also, walking (to me) isn't just about saving money, it's about good habits and contributing less to traffic and pollution edit: people tra

this is a really good question, and the more I think about it, the less I'm able to come up with an answer assuming each in-application sound generator is pull-based (like the OS sound APIs typically are) surely each one could write to

it's my understanding the API they used was undocumented, so while it's WeWork's fault for not doing a better job securing an API that seems sensitive to them, it's also disrespectful to do something that you're pre

not sure I follow "the integers don't exist, because the percent of real numbers that are integers is effectively 0" is what the parent post is implying, which "works", in the sense that using this proof methodology

agreed. and I agree with many people out here in Seattle, that I'd really rather not see the city become "the next Silicon Valley". I'd much prefer Seattle become the best it can be, by itself, without needing to draw on

This makes me wonder what English words are unique to English, kind of like "breakfast" (in the context of a Burmese tribe) mentioned at the top of the article. There's gotta be a few, right?
