   Sounds like they hired Homer Simpson to operate the plant.

   Could you shed some light on what they did wrong, and what would be a better way to do it?

   I assume also for thread collapsing. For some reason, it is pretty slow on large threads.

   I'm struggling to understand how Pavlovian training can develop a skill for finding lost objects.

   I imagine a direct beam would cause visible burns, but something that never occurred to me is using beamforming to zap inside someone's head. Yikes. Disclaimer: I'm not a physicist.

   Not quite what you're asking for, but check out CRN++ [0], a programming language built on chemical reaction networks (CRN). [0]: https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.07430

    Oh, interesting, I didn't have a sense of how widespread that was. I remember this 300-year-old Spanish shipwreck that was dredged up by a private company. The Spanish government then sued and won. They had to give back ~500k coins.

    I would assume the legality depends on where the container fell.

    Amarok was awesome! I really liked the "moodbar" addon that converted each audio track into a colorful 1D strip, underneath the progress indicator. Ah, looks like it's a project in its own right, but the Wikipedia page has an

    I don't have much experience with PDF as a spec, but I guess I'm a "PDF hater." It's the things that didn't need to be PDFs, but inexplicably are, that annoy me. Like data dumps from local governments that coul

    I'm not sure which category I fall in... Is the reason that the outlet might be reverse polarity, and if that's on your mind you've probably checked that it's safe?

    Syntactic sugar makes a big difference as well, e.g. Rust's `?` operator.

    IIRC, Amazon built their own UI around YouTube which meant YouTube was not monetizing those views. Edit: > A person familiar with Google's thinking on the matter told Engadget that a big point of contention had been the fact that Am

    Sure, managed languages can beat C performance. IIRC, the JVM can reorder branches on the fly to avoid jumps.

    Yikes. The only way I could imagine this being okay is if N is bounded and small, or if the DB is SQLite.

    Great video. In case it's not obvious, the different notes are purely a function of pick/thumb placement. The guitarist is not changing frets, but he seems unable to resist throwing in some vibrato :)

    I was diagnosed around age 15 and started taking Concerta. It was life-changing for a while, but it started feeling less helpful over time. I remember feeling like my energy/attention was a zero-sum game, and I had to pay it back at th
