I'd like to see stats about that middle user though, I would think that this usecase decreases fast as things are moving to the browser (Office366, Drive, mail, even corporate apps). Other types of usecases have gone very Linux-friendl

This. I bought a System76 laptop in 2011 which is still working very well with lubuntu for office and browser and such, it's now the laptop of my neighbourhood association. I could without problem upgrade RAM and drive to SSD, I could

OMG I thought it was something wrong on my end, privacy add-on or whatnot. Glad to see they just lost it.

This is great. Furniture from one type of wood piece. Went recently through a similar process to optimize building bird nests from one type of wood planks from the local sawmill. I think I'll give the hyperwood bench a try next week.

Funny enough, DMS is a fermentation byproduct in beer brewing and it's detectable for us at low concentration. The off-flavor it can cause is indeed "cooked corn" or "cabbage". [ https://www.homebrewersass

We boosted the anti-mass spectrometer 105 percent. Bit of a gamble, but we need the extra resolution.

True ! The capitalization is not quite right, it should read WASP-127b actually

Great questions, thanks! > Could you provide anymore insight into how this was achieved? The observations we have consist of spectra - light from the star is split into wavelengths with a fine resolution (we can distinguish very small di

I don't know any solar physicist who calls our sun "sol" (and I know many), neither have I come across scientific papers doing so. A sol is a martian day though!

Usually, you would see the sign of this in the data - because we can actually detect the gap between the planet and eventual rings. But if the gap is extremely small, then it could be a possibility.

AFAIK the Shoemaker-Levy impact was useful for other studies, but not so for the density/mass of Jupiter (also as per your link). Jupiter is full of surprises still (mostly about its interior). However, the assessments made in this art

The Netherlands used to have this system over the full country (OV chipcard) when I lived there (it seems to still exist), the card could be anonymous too. After the French ticketing system, this felt magical to me.
