All of us nerdy homeowners are looking for ceramic, marble, granite, quartzite, glass, or similar. We need a few sizes. Our square tiles are 18x18 inches (3/8 thick, 3/8 grout lines) in larger rooms and about 2x2 or 3x3 inches (1&

The big companies self-host for legal reasons. It is easier to put up a legal fight with self-hosting. With other hosting, your data can be silently grabbed. You won't even know your data has been compromised. It's also just cheap

All the workers (teachers, bus drivers, janitors...) have to pay more for housing or commuting, so yes.

The antisemitism accusation is completely over-the-top ridiculous. Trump's own daughter is a Jew. Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem, and not one democrat showed up for the ceremony. There are a couple openly antisemitic members of c

Fundamental truth: you get more of what you subsidize So here you are proposing to subsidize all these problems. This just encourages more.

It can be an extra-special 0-byte executable though, running far faster than anything else, like so: /proc/bin/true /proc/bin/false The exec doesn't even need to create page tables or run any non-kernel co

Yes, this is a very very old bug. I doubt anything depends on that bug.

This is kind of odd. You mean that the battery can't take the power when cold? The obvious fix is to use that power first for heating the battery. You'd still slow the car via power generation, giving the exact same braking feel.

Since "dog" is the male version of "bitch", it could be effectively the same insult. The best assumption for a random mysterious word is an insult, especially when used as name for you. If you don't know what "

Before that time frame, PC hardware vendors had little incentive to make stable hardware. It was easy to blame crashes on Windows. If the hardware itself made a few crashes per week, that wasn't going to be enough to be noticed. The ea

It was FORTH, which most developers really hated. Sometimes the end users even got exposed to bits of FORTH poking out, for example in the syntax for booting. We really just wanted a nice clean 64-bit BIOS, with all the datatypes 64-bit. Th

It may, compared to rural, but it beats city life. That is, it does unless you actually like stepping over homeless people and being mugged.

I certainly wouldn't understand it. I have my doubts that it is even universally understood inside the black community. The most reasonable interpretation is that it is an insult, along the lines of "Why don’t you just give me a l

Riiight... You could say that of French too. The trouble is, French is very deficient when judged as English. French grammatical structures are faulty and unclear in an English-speaking environment. Likewise for Japanese being judged as Kor

One of the biggest ways to lift marginalized groups out of poverty would be to provide speech therapy. This needs to be as universal as teaching history, math, and science. We're choosing to leave people with a huge disadvantage when w

Yes, you can save money if you are willing to live in a dystopia, crammed in like sardines. The quality-of-life comparison is not that complicated.

Maybe the 787 won't allow airborne use, but other aircraft allow it. It's useful for steep descent. If the feature were more common, obstructions near airports (like mountains) would be less of an issue. We could build new runways

To be coldly rational, you want to pick from the group that is the most discriminated against for entry into medical school. Right now in the USA, that would be Asian males. An exception is if you may need the doctor to insert a hand into y

Yes, if it were justified. It isn't justified. There is zero reason to believe that these accounts are foreign or bots. I checked a bunch of them. Every account looked like a normal human American on one side of the political spectrum.

I checked a bunch of them. No, they are not "election propaganda bots". They are real humans, all on one side of the political spectrum. If you are on the left and would like to strengthen your filter bubble, this list is for you.

It's a bunch of people with insane degrees (literally a PhD in "romantic comedies", WTF why is this even possible) living in places they can't afford and writing nonsense. These people loved telling factory workers and e

Also not being an investor, I agree with your ranking. Even better would be any sort of heavy industry. Elon Musk's stuff (rockets, cars, tunnels) is mighty nice. Refineries, 100-ton forges, container ships, and similar are all more im

When the majority is only 51 to 49, "quite high" doesn't cut it. Even with the VP to break ties, it only takes two defectors to lose. Commonly there were three defectors.

There is control, and then there is control. In the previous senate, less than half of the senators would reliably vote as republicans.

It doesn't have to be "leaving holes or backfilling with loyalists". The "holes" go away if the positions are permanently discarded. Civil service rules are quite troubling. I can see the idea that it shouldn't

They got Turing completeness in just the MMU. This was surely unintended, just like Turing completeness in C++ template expansion and Turing completeness in sendmail configuration files. Here you go, computation via continuous MMU faults wi

Your higher rate makes a bit of sense. The worst problem is the small sample size. If everybody crashed a minimum of 100 times, then the risk estimates would be much better. The fact that you were hit is influenced by your risk factors. For

Are there buses in Boston? I lived there, and I wouldn't know. Buses are not something I'd contemplate using. From experiences in other cities, where I looked into the matter: Buses are too hard to use. Buses often stop on an unex

Aren't things cheap if you go well to the west, almost to the coast and away from a rail station? Japan has rural areas. If people would live there, they could afford to have large families.

The UK has lots of power if they don't desperately beg. They should expect a plain exit. With that done, a good deal with the USA is possible. The threat of that could instead get them a great deal with the EU, and they may even do wel
