The whole point of nuclear weapons is to NOT conceal them, but boast as loud as possible.

I don't buy the "ignored" part. It's not like in authoritarian countries where their votes just go down to trash. It's not like they cannot voice their opinion or organize demonstrations. I agree there is a sentimen

Forbid Gerrymandering. E.g. Republican Schwarzenegger has been advocating against gerrymandering for a long time. Force all states to cast election votes to be proportional to citizens' votes (some states do but others do not).

That's a proposal. Some of the proposals are intentional provocations to make the news in other states.

No, it's not only executive branch. People voted in Trump adorers to majority in both Senate and House of Representatives.

Tried to figure out what temperature my Ninja slow cooker cooks at. Not possible, only Hi and Lo. Internets say different models use different temperature.

You assume that if it's not rational to start a war they would not start it. People in Ukraine and EU did the same mistake. Wars can start for no reason or for bogus "fake news" reasons. E.g. US can attack, say, Canada, at an

Just to note that absolute black is not achievable. The best coatings in labs reach 99.99% but it's never 100%.

No, that's a product connecting teachers and students. It's like saying the Uber founder is a taxi driver.

What about Coursera? It's a real world product.

Why 60%? I suppose if they are less than 1% then latency will be even less.

Not always. Or not for everyone I would say. I personally was just interested in facts: why, when, how.

Seems like they wrote slow memory hogging software and didn't make any attempt at optimizing it. E.g. there's no mention of AOT compilation for Java. No hints at what actually consumed 2GB of RAM. Greenfield projects are always mo

It's typical now for half the quotes online. So it's easier to make it "As Mark Twain famously never said, ...".

I have to unplug Logitech wireless receivers for mouse/keyboard, otherwise desktop wakes up immediately.

Why, what's the problem? My apps work fine, even old ones.

Try playing First person shooter games that don't have a map. But as I said in a sibling comment, it's just orientation using memory, not a compass.

by deepsun 2y ago
No, that's just orientation, I can do that too. Playing first-person games like Descent improves the orientation. The true compass would be if you could be blinded, walked through some turns, and you could still pick up north, having n

JavaFX is still alive though, supported, with various (third-party) WISYWIG editors, compilable to a binary. Not on the news radar of course, because most products don't focus on desktop anymore, hence Electron for JavaScript etc.

If that is the case then yes, agree, but there was no indication that is the case. The air is very thin out there. In fact, it's linearly proportional, because momentum us m*v, so for 20 km/s propellant exhaust seed and 8 km/

> In order to produce thrust, it has to exit the back of the satellite at a significantly higher speed. Why? It can exit at 1 m/s and still be thrust. And as long as momentum from engine pushing is larger than momentum of stopping a

Honestly just googled and couldn't find one :) Something in the line of removing two separate buttons to flush a toilet, different words of course just to illustrate the impact (negligent). But I also found one important order that doe

A lot of new orders make sense, just not the important ones.

Isn't this what Firebase and similar solved a long time ago? Having a local copy of a database slice, and hide the sync from developer at all.

No, you get it backwards. Open source community folks despise any commands, the moment Linus orders free folks like you to do something will be the moment his leadership ends.

So Californian/US companies would have to comply, and other companies/states would get an advantage.

If the input is 71 character, all the libraries happily accept it, but an attacker needs to guess only 1 character.

No, I eventually left because money, I needed to save for a house. Most of the staff were locals, so already had own/inherited property to live in. After FAANG it was new to work with mostly locals, way more stories about the surroundi

Some fraction of young minds, not all. I was happy to work at a small aerospace company with extreme concentration of brightest minds. Only because they loved the domain, and didn't mind a salary cut. What a joy and relief it was for m
