Personally, I just break out to the CLI for the vast majority of use cases. Things like viewing logs or making commits or staging hunks with `git add --patch`. I'd suggest looking at only replacing the parts of your workflow that are p

To add yet another example for those looking to try out microtonal music, Sevish's track Gleam[1] is upbeat/poppy and surprisingly palatable. It explores the crunchy textures of microtonal while resolving to familiar pop cadences

Was curious about the etymology so looked it up. Seems like half-loaf referred to the fact that it weighed 2 pounds, half the standard "quartern" 4lb round loaf which was typically sold in quarters. https://www.dsl.ac.u

Please only take this medication by prescription from a medical doctor. Even if these results are replicated, there is a huge difference between 12mg/day IV for 5 days under medical supervision and consuming a tube of apple flavored pa

The tax stuff in EU4 is the exact kind of modifier-based abstraction of extraction that the article is saying is all-too-common of simulation/strategy games set in this period. EU4 is one of the most "board-gamey" Paradox gam

I have to second this recommendation and add my favorite video[0] of his, "Kick Me In The Asteraceae, with Helianthus annuus," about sunflowers. It's truly an informative and down to earth take on what can be a very stuffy an

L-systems are a lot of fun. When messing around with pen plotters a few years ago with a friend, we implemented an L-system driven plotter and one of the more interesting programs we found to run on it was an aperiodic Penrose tiling. We en

Very interesting. After asking I wondered if there could have been some kind of velar connection but L-vocalization makes sense. Appreciate the in depth explanation with lots of examples from your idiolect.

Really, with a [u] at the end? That's really interesting, do you mind me asking what dialect you speak?

These sounds are really close together to begin with, but in English, we don't actually use either of those sounds in word-initial position like the example recording, and so unless you speak a language that distinguishes these sounds

You're correct on the facts here as they relate to federal law-- I was reacting to the post's previous mention that firearm manufacture for personal use was 100% unregulated by any existing law. You've since edited it to be m

You're right, I was hyperbolizing somewhat, and I honestly hadn't looked into either of those designs closely before. The Liberator12K looks like it uses a steel barrel, which makes sense. I'm surprised the PM522 works as we

You're 100% correct-- I believe it's more legally dangerous to those purchasing it than physically dangerous. It just lowers the barrier of entry and creates a frictionless path where someone buys a bunch of products, combines the

It's definitely not 100% unregulated to produce your own firearm in the United States. It can be very very illegal to do so and it's a really dangerous piece of advice to be giving a bunch of hackers. You must obey state and munic

I really don't see 3D-printed firearms as a threat. It requires expensive, specialized equipment and days of patience to produce a product that is almost universally inferior to a length of pipe, a block of wood, and a nail. Everything

Reminds me of the 2005 conversational simulation game, Facade[0], in which any mention of the word "melon" would be met with being immediately kicked out of your host's dinner party. [0]: https://www.playablstudios

You're honestly not doing anything wrong. Morrowind is a really unsatisfying game for a lot of reasons. The RNG based combat mechanics feel off in a game that lets you aim your strikes. The quests are difficult to follow, offering vagu

Cement production accounts for ~7-8% of all global CO2 emissions. Wikipedia cites sources which claim ~900kg of CO2 is produced for every ton of cement. It's possible that frequent rebuilding could be more emission-efficient.

I don't think that's the case. I've anecdotally heard that Stanford does take some (possibly small) amount of equity. From the first paragraph of Stanford's patent policy[0]: > All potentially patentable inventions co

This is actually really good advice. I've tended to try a formal description of something first, in case the other party knows the jargon, but it's been surprising to me how quickly you can shut someone down by throwing words at t

As (yet another) Canadian, I've used the same phonological distinction in my close relationships with Americans to great success. It's been surprising to me how much tension is eased by disambiguating the two senses!

I'm probably just misunderstanding the physics involved, but wouldn't moving the container only impart movement on the fluid inside in proportion to the viscosity of the liquid? And once the fluid is moving wouldn't stopping

Thank you for this context. I vaguely knew of the term's connection with the names of utilities, but this is some fascinating Canadian history.

Probably to satisfy legal duties. Someone, landlord or municipality, has a legal obligation to ensure that waste is dealt with regularly and appropriately. If they contract with a third party, they have fulfilled that legal obligation, and
