I usually try to make it obvious what company I have the account to, it makes it easier to track down in cases where the service isn't one that sends mail often. Samsung will not let me use Samsung in my email address. Many companies d

Afaik there's no consequences for the president ignoring the supreme court. Presidents have done so before. They mostly seem to get their way in the end.

On the contrary, this was actually used for something. The aeliopile is quite a bit older and was used for precisely nothing .

I was looking at Dell's website earlier trying to find out what hardware is inside a specific model (the list of hardware doesn't say, just a bunch of post numbers with cryptic descriptions), and there's a video at the bottom

What about scripted transformations? Or just add a simple timestamp to the query and only allow it to be used up to a week later? (Whether it works without the parameter could be tested too)

Microscopic is unnecessary. Tessellation is already used in space and medical devices (not mentioned in this article: it's used in devices like stents). The specific fold being used here is named after an astrophysicist and has already

I've made similar tessellations before, they can be curved. You can trivially make a pre-folded tessellation into a cylinder of arbitrary diameter; to curve it like a submarine, you'd just adjust the angle of the creases. Optimi

Goodreads also has listings for audiobooks. Reviewing the narrator in an audiobook is like reviewing the font choice in a paper book. Both are legitimate. (If someone's posting a review of an audiobook to the listing of the main format

Windows Terminal allows this, afaik. It might be a feature of clink, but I feel like I've seen it in powershell and cmd both. Not sure if it's available in traditional console window, I rarely use those much these days though (sud

Epic Games tells me I don't support HTML formatted email. Many emails are just the HTML version with HTML tags removed, leaving behind a bunch of ridiculously long image and link urls and little to no text telling you what they are.

Unfortunately title isn't visible on mobile. Extremely annoying to see a post that says "last month" and want to know if it was 7 weeks ago or 5 weeks ago. Some sites show title text when you tap the text, other sites the dat

It's actually not a pain. It's the same process as getting a driver's license, minus the test. You go into the DMV and wait in the same lines (at least in California; I have a CA state ID, not a license)

Sure, you can change the license, but the old license still applies to the code as it was before you changed it. Assuming you're using a legit open source license the first time around, nothing changes regarding how you can make use of

Making games uncrackable is a solved problem: the game runs on the server and the server decides what happens, with the user connecting a client that simply sends input to the server and receives a scene to render. This has many negative si
