Like it or not, irregardless is here to stay. Languages change, mispellings become the correct way to spell things, words become their own antonyms, and a lot of other very strange things. Embrace it!

Furthermore, two instances of life with the same abiogenesis point, isolated and diverged sometime in the past, would be very valuable for biologists. Isn't this something you can basically get on Earth? Perspermia doesn't reall

You kid, but despite how horrifying that is, something like it will probably end up happening.

Umm, that's standard anti-fraud for e-commerce sites. I'm pretty confused actually at your surprise, I've never paid for anything by credit card without requiring at least a zip code, and usually a full address.

Yeah, I hit this same road-block when trying to port vim to JS and gave up because it didn't seem worth it after that. If only vim ran a regular event loop, it would have been such an easy port, compared to what they had to do here. Wh

Me too, but I had always figured it as survivorship bias. That is, there are many such things that I newly hear of, but most of them don't get repeated mentions right way. The few of them that do catch my attention, and it seems like i

why is It that almost no site uses appcache, when it is a way of ensuring that resources are already local and the only network traffic is the truly essential part? HTTP caching is fine for that. appcache is more about allowing the site t

None of the things you've listed are actually really problems, or have well-known solutions. HTTP caching solves the downloading problem for most classes of application. You can also run apps locally with app-cache and local storage (a

Just curious, what software was this?

Googling for "antbot" returns a variety of seemingly unrelated projects. Could you possibly be more specific? But more curious to know the mechanism behind it that causes mosquitos to stop flying. Though I have to say, robotics do

Post an explanation + clear diagrams of how it works somewhere, and your process for making the prototype with pictures of it. And details about the cost/parts etc. Then drum up some interest. Get some blogs to write about it, then hop

I went skimmed through the whole history of the user (dozens of comments, but the account is just a day old right now). It's obvious looking at the number of points each comment got that it depended on there being a large audience in t

A 30% margin of error would seem to make calorie counting practically useless.

But what if single core performance increases stop completely? In that case, parallelism wins out in the end as you keep adding more and more cores, given a problem amenable to parallelism.

I find myself doing poor pattern recognition at times (eg always choosing the wrong key for a particular door), and realizing just after that a machine learning library could well make the mistake I just did. This isn't a new insight,

Definitely not unexplored territory, analog computation came first. Notably, the way you program an (electronic) analog computer is by adjusting it's circuitry.. not exactly the friendliest programming model. The problem with noise see

While the security update protocol leaves something to be desired, the possibility of a DoS attach is not quite as bad as a vulnerability that leaks real information. If that were to happen, I'd hope all the steps you've outlined

I was confused at first too, but I think the idea is to throw off who Facebook, or anyone looking through Facebook's data, thinks you are. Quoting: I hate Facebook's privacy policy (or lack of thereof) If you only add real frien

There is no subscription. What are you unsubscribing from? Or just consider all such emails to be unsubscribed automatically after this one email, making a link pointless. The reason for this is really for mass emails. It really should not

Hence the use of callbacks for ordering reads and writes as required. Seems like we'd want promises though, for many interleaved reads and writes that are dependent on each other (which is not a great pattern, but might be unavoidable

This seems like something that should be solved by the dom api, rather than this (quite clever) workaround.
