Light rays are effectively parallel at these colossal distances. Everything is in focus. In fact, only 100 years ago this year was the "Great Debate" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Debate_(astronomy) ) a

I find it allows my eyes to easily find the beginning of the next sentence which allows me to read faster, since I can scan information in sentence-long chunks, then pause briefly to process the meaning before scanning the next sentence.

This is reminiscent of the short story I, Pencil [1], which was written in 1958 about the very same topic. > I am seemingly so simple. Simple? Yet, not a single person on the face of this earth knows how to make me. This sounds fantast

Locking files is critical when you are editing binary data which can't be merged - which in the games industry, is generally how the majority of the dev team works.

After losing my wallet several times and not having a clue when the last time I had it on me was, I implemented a similar system. I now habitually triple tap my three designated pockets for phone, wallet, keys, every time I walk through a d

What gave me the intuition for it was to realise that Monty is giving you the choice to either stick with your original door, or take the sum of the prizes between the other two doors. (He also opens one of those two doors to reveal a goat,

Yes, most video cards these days can run 3-4 monitors using DP. Make sure you check the stats on the specific cards you buy. https://multimonitorcomputer.com/index.php is a good resource.

This is such a bizarre idea. I have 7 monitors on my home office - 6 24" in a 2x3 grid and a 27" widescreen vertically beside them. I use them all. It's so nice to have my IDE, documentation, 2 terminals, CI status, Slack, mu

That's what my first marriage was like. I told myself it was a great relationship because we never argued, but really I just deferred to her on every decision and went out of my way to avoid any conflict.

I have written a virtual CPU from very simple building blocks and highly recommend doing it. I started with class Wire (which just wraps a bool) and class Transistor (which accepts two input Wire& and has an output Wire). It has an Upda

Definitely a no-brainer, I'd say.

I built a dependency checker that worked similarly to this once. By hooking the filesystem calls, you can make a list of all files that a given process touches. When that process finishes, serialize a dependency file containing the hashes,

Well it's not like the entire point of sarcasm is to mean something other than what you say.

This is exactly it. In March, when everyone suddenly wanted to do group video calls with their friends and family, most of whom are nontechnical, we settled quickly on Zoom for ease-of-access. Of all the options, it was the easiest one for

I got a 6 monitor stand for my home office, filled it with 22-24" screens, and never looked back. It is phenomenal.

I can definitely think of odors and smell them, certainly more vividly than I can see mental images. Thinking of fresh bread nearly makes me wonder whether someone is baking it nearby. Sounds are similar for me. I can play most songs in my

I have a 6-monitor stand at home filled with 24" monitors in a 2x3 grid. It's amazing, and yet I still don't have enough room for everything. I want 8.

My favorite example of something similar to this, since you brought it up: >>> a = [254, 255, 256, 257, 258] >>> b = [254, 255, 256, 257, 258] >>> for i in range(5): print(a[i] is b[i]) ... True True

Why can't you? I've found that it's difficult at first to start a new habit, but that if I stick with it for a few weeks to months it becomes a routine and I'll adapt.

Is it not possible that the situation is a win-win for all parties and that all parties feel like they are well-compensated in terms of the value they've received, and that therefore no money actually needs to exchange hands? You may a

You are confusing marginal and effective tax rate, a very common mistake. At $150k you pay only 29%+12% on each additional dollar, but your earlier dollars were taxed much less. https://www.taxtips.ca/calculators/basic&

Always, always, stop people to ask them questions. Whenever they do something you are surprised by or say something you don't understand, ask them to explain. I never fail to get a positive response. Sometimes you feel silly if it was

You own a factory. Your employees don't. There's a power imbalance in the employment relationship. Most people (who don't own things like factories) need a regular, predictable, stable income to survive, and finding new emplo
