You need to be careful with this though. I don't fully understand the reasons, but you have to consider bending of the light. See the wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Level_experiment I haven't

I agree with everyone else that usually you won't want to install this on a system without a package manager. However, I also hate it when I want to do something and everyone just tells me not to do it. So the general way to do it woul

If you only care about viewing censored materials and don't care about the repercussions of getting caught, then I agree that a VPN is a fine solution. It's probably easier to use and faster for most customers, with the downside t

The major VPNs log, this has been shown in court cases. If they say they don't they're either using a limited definition of log, straight up lying, or about to run into problems with the government. My source isn't an open on

The electrical charge travels through the wires. This causes an electrical field and a magnetic field surrounding the circuit. The point is that the energy goes through the field, not through the wires. In your example, the Poynting vector

On Arch Linux, you can install packages from the user repository. Basically these are scripts to I stall things that aren't in the normal package repository, and the default is to install from source. Whenever I install the Haskell pac

Someone was complaining that git's non-recording of what branch name a commit was done in can make it hard to figure out the history. Then aaaaaaaaab mentioned that not having branches solves this problem. I don't see how that hel

Ok, that makes sense. > I’m not quite sure I understand your comment though - it implies that you consider linear history to be a strange and/or non-default thing to do. Sometimes you get a branch, I get them even on personal projec

"EU law" can refer to several different things. As far as I understand, this is a ruling about Council Directive 91/250/EEC. A directive is like a template from the EU that gets copied into local laws. So there is no dis

I completely agree. Vim isn't lifechanging, but it's good. Once you're basically confident it's very nice, but you can still use other editors. RPN calculators on the other hand...
