Just gave this a try... why is it that when you rotate a brick, the x,y,z movement also rotates with it? What I mean is that once you have rotated a 2x4 brick 90 degrees clockwise, when trying to position that part, moving the mouse left m

Totally lost me at the "Amazon ... is a net good". And maybe because I choose "unusual" domain names, I've found buying them to be relatively straight-forward. There are now so many top-level domains to choose from

We aren't even responsible enough with the nuclear assets and waste we already have, and we're going to have to actively look after that lot for millennia to come. You can't just walk away from a spent fuel waste facility

It's totally over my head. The final screen needs a button for "don't get it" or "annoyed at the pretentiousness".

That's really weird - I've just put on a pot of dried chick peas to boil, so I'm literally making aquafaba right now. Things that make you go "hmmm"...

Why does the title say "Snood Bloober" but the linked article say "Snark Barker"? Just curious - did it change or something?

Not going to use linkedin, sorry. Would have had a look otherwise. Not everybody is on there, or wants to be.

I've been working on something similar, with the intention of making something that separates semantic tags from formatting tags, such that the resulting document could be directly narrated or dictated, without resorting to too man

The author seems to not know the difference between the chip and the ISA - Instruction Set Architecture. How this is implemented in silicon (or other substrate) does not seem to have been released, so you'd have to create your own core

It's not about the application of morally correct decryption of messages by a third-party, but about the immoral decryption (whatever that is); an algorithm or system cannot tell the difference in the intent of the decryptor. If th

People are pessimistic precisely because they are aware that if we don't do something about the climate crisis, everything will come crashing down. Being optimistic about it, you might say "don't worry, they'll work out

Who's paying Cox? I can almost taste the tinge of corporate interest.

And it should all be left exactly where it is. Fossil fuels are killing our people and our environment.

So... what's this for? I mean, I know what progress bars are for per se but I can't see any mention of a way to tie the meter to something concrete other than time - and we already have clocks and calendars for that. I must be

The neural network of nematode worms has been modelled in software, and a robotic avatar has been built for this "mind". It behaves very much like a real nematode worm. Real nematode worms appear to be conscious to an extent, in s

From a builder's perspective, all rules are advisory. You may want the specific effect these rules state is a problem - what if you want something to detach with less force than the "click"? But these rules are really for Leg

50 y/o Aspie here, late diagnosis (about 6 years ago). This is exactly why my wife is home-schooling our kids. My 14 y/o step-daughter (diagnosed with ASD) and our younger 6 and 7 y/o boys, who show some signs. The eldest is

After about 5 or 6 years of abusing an electric guitar, learning from tab, you tube tutorials, general messing round etc. what it feels like to me is that now can guess from a note I hear, roughly where that will appear on the fretboa

There were sooo many crap webpages created with that software. I used it myself for a while, before I knew better. It produced horrendous, buggy HTML. Table handling was pants - I used to have to hand code tables (used for layout!) to make

I don't think this is going to work out the way redis wants it to. Most likely, this will cause a fork of whatever "modules" they have applied the new "Commons Clause" to and everyone will continue on pretty much as

The "Play notes with a 5.00 Hz difference" section seems like a massive leap from the section before, without the same level of explanation that preceded it. I can't perceive/work out what they are talking about - I&#x27
