My naive understanding is that there are so many tunable parameters in string theories that you can use them to model our universe but not to make predictions outside what our existing models already predict. So you can falsify a given set

And it's not just keyboard modifiers -- in middle school I remember having to explain double clicking. People eventually got used to it, then the web got popular, and I had to explain to users not to double click on web links but do c

The Asian longhorn beetle is one such pest that is thought to have come to the US through shipping containers and is one of the reasons for strict shipping regulations. I knew nothing of it until the forestry service came knocking on my do

What kind of 3D printer is required to make items that are safe for young children? I imagine the material needs to be durable and non-toxic if swallowed, but I know very little about both 3D printers and child safety standards.

I understand how there can be no center if the universe has positive curvature. But if the universe is saddle-shaped and non-infinite, surely there has to be a center?

As I understand, the crew would not notice any difference, since time is slowed in their frame of reference relative to that of an observer.

It has an ISA interface; I wonder if connecting that to a video card would work.

I think the term you are looking for is "video controller"?

I did not realize DR-DOS was still a product; the last time I used a DR DOS derivative, it has been renamed Caldera OpenDOS.

I have seen exceptions implemented with setjmp/longjmp, and I have seen continuations implemented with setjmp/longjmp/memcpy. So they are definitely related, but equivalent? Or are you saying something else?

I'm somewhat in agreement with you. My experience was vanilla js first, then jquery, then angularjs. When I first used angularjs I was annoyed by having to learn about providers and services and factories and an alien templating syst

by cout 5y ago
This has been the debate of templating systems for as long as I can remember. Do you want your looping construct to use the same syntax as your markup language (so all the tools you use that operate on the markup "just work", wit

This is exactly the point of vue. On the surface, it looks a lot like a cleaner angularjs, but it's very different. There's no need for a digest cycle to re-evaluate watch expressions on each iteration, because it uses getters

There's plenty of angularjs still around, for projects that can't or don't want to move to angular 2. The official end-of-life keeps getting pushed back, and I won't be surprised if someone r eventually forks it.

For an extension like noscript or ublock, yes, it's hard to draw a line. One site uses one feature set, another site uses a different feature set, and if you draw the line around the union of those feature sets then it's too broa

Ever since JS was added to Netscape Navigator, it's been the case that you need it to experience the full web. The difference is that now you need JS to experience more than a small fraction of the web.

I would like to see something in the middle. Instead of defaulting to no javascript, default to "javascript lite". But make "javascript lite" full-featured enough that it makes building websites _easier_. I know a lot

I think we need BOTH a platform for on-demand apps AND a platform for documents with some dynamic content. That we've tried to put both together into one platform is, I think, part of the problem. I would like to be able to read the

This is why it is important that we all learn to be both learners and teachers. We can learn so much about the world, but what we fill our minds with is lost when the mind is gone. What we teach to others lives on.

That was the impression I was getting, hence my question. But since thumb drives typically come preformatted in either FAT32 or exFAT, I thought maybe there was a third possible use of the word "portable" that I am unfamiliar wit

Can you explain what you mean by "portable data storage"? I'm used to hearing the word "portable" used to mean "cross platform", but if it is not supported well under Linux, then given how widely used Lin

Do you have any recommendations for a game for children who cannot yet read? My 3yo loves Putt Putt (we play the Steam version) because the car talks to him. But in the early 80s computers did not yet have speech synthesis or enough stora

Content was a different story, until ads started showing up in the same place on the page as content. Now ads aren't something on the side you can passively ignore; they are sponsored content.

In the early years of ads on facebook they had targeted ads in the sidebar, but the news feed was left untouched. One change that happened is that Likes started giving pages access to space in your feed. Eventually pages that I didn'
