How would you ever observe black hole to grow/accreate matter then?

If you are not an American citizen you are still a citizen of some other country, which has its own obligations before its citizens to uphold their human rights, even when they cross someone other's border. This may end up ugly for the

You seriously do not think that you can override Human Rights agreements with some "congress bill", do you? For some time you might act that way, but you are trespassing. There is no right to cross the border, but there's l

Say who? Did you notify the UN about these findings?

I don't see a single reason why you can be forced to incriminate yourself. If confession equals conviction, laws about right to remain silent should also apply. I would happily say "no" and smile if I was you when asked about

It is very often overlooked, but "The Little Golden Calf" is awesome. It is an amazingly fun read yet it is full of deep insights into pre-war Soviet Union's everyday life. The character is basically a superhero who goes thro

Beauty of hash tree is that hash(commit) = hash(parent commit) ∘ hash(changes). You could compute that by hand if you wanted. But you can't compute merge by hand since it involves basically rebasing commits to a different tree which is

No it is not, because there is no mystic handwavy commit involved. You just apply a patch basically. Much less this handwavy commit exposed to uninterested parties.

Merges is the stupidest thing there ever is in the land of source control. Contrary to the author I struggle to find even a single use that would make merge merited. My main point is that merges are not easily computable. comm3 = merge(comm

I don't know, Celsius is actually very nice. I think there is another problem, where same dimension is used in fundamentally different contexts. Let's talk about mass. For small quantities you can use grams all right, though one g

As a person living in mosquito-prone area, I would say that those concerns are secondary to the quality of life implications even before diseases are taken into account. Those mosquitoes had it coming for a long, long time. But I have only

Even if there were no internet you could just buy a plane ticket SFO-KYZ and in 30 hours you are standing in Kyzyl after a few transfers and a $2000 setback for round-trip. This is thanks to USSR cracking and revealing tasty pulp. You will

That's a rude awakening but an expected one. It's very easy to write an elegant piece of code in scripting language only to find that some of dependencies who work magic are pretty messy to deploy. You can usually count on having
