Yeah- I feel that in this case the whimsical name "Duckduckgo" is a liability for them. It's just hard to turn it into a verb in an unambiguous way.

What sucks is that I just updated WSL immediately before coming to this article. Hopefully it's ok.

Indeed- the Pacific can be a pretty good filter for that.

It's a very good program- we use it for teaching in the US Power Squadron.

A lesser person would have been driven into therapy. Careful there.

It's not an intricate pattern/geometric order. It's a transition in the "connectedness" of the structure.

Agree. Aside from coefficients/ratios, a number without units is meaningless.

They violate conservation of energy laws Now I'm even more worried! How can the do that?

Type 2 is reversible, at least up to a point (maybe, a few decades). What exactly does this mean?

Not downvoting, but not everybody can reverse it. For some it's linked to obesity and such, but others have a perfectly healthy body weight and still have diabetes. There seems to be quite a bit of individual variation.

One thing I think Chrome is better at is emulating CSS media, so we can check layouts when printing, for example. I don't even see how to do that in Firefox.

Got it- thanks. It really fell several pages but things do when the discussions become less constructive.

You must have missed the post where we all took a blood oath to stick to standards when we develop.

Yeah- it says 59 comments but somehow they are all hidden...

This is also my go-to, for storms and just general forecasts for sailing.

I don't think ads are evil. I am used to the compromise of society the afford. I do think the trackers and building databases of user profiles is evil- the strive for relevance should be in the other direction. "Dumb"

I read the same article and felt the same way. But, like you, I couldn't get past the "why should I bother doing this when what I do works pretty well and I can autobackup a paranoid extra backup to usb?

I remember back in the 1980s that the Japanese researchers, whose population has (had?) very low cholesterol, were arguing with the US researchers, saying that cholesterol too low was bad as it led to (perhaps allowed for) strokes- which wa

I would think the manager would have a bigger picture view of the value added, but it probably varies with particular cases.

When it has happened to me, the crew came with the plane.

How MCAS slipped through certification process was not the main issue I think it's a huge issue, but perhaps not criminal. The hiding/lying/etc is a criminal issue in my view.

Is there a requirement to fly the plane advertised? In other words, if I book specifically a non-737 800 Max plane, and the airline switches, can I get my money back, or make them fly me on a different airline?

engineers rarely know how to present their job in terms of monetary benefit The point is, they shouldn't have to. The managers should be handling that fairly. Otherwise, it's an adversarial game where only one team knows how

If we target standards, then the standards are driving. The browser gets supported when it builds to the standards. Perhaps the issue will then be getting standards in place quickly around new capabilities? Then maybe the standards proce
