I really dislike these types of papers. "Pfft look at these neanderthals studying complex system X by observing surface properties and trying to make deep inferences! Nothing like us mighty computer spacemen!" A circuit is a highl

Really? If you grabbed S1 Janeway and plopped her in the finale, I felt she was mostly the same (minus Future timeline Janeway grieving for Tuvok/Seven)? Obsessed with getting the crew home and willing to bend the rules, yet still stic

Mirror Ship Harry - talk about a plot point that never gets addressed again! For an episode-of-the-week format, it would be difficult to callback to that, but that feels like it should become a personality-defining moment: I should not exis

30 days?! That seems shockingly generous for Amazon. What happens when someone has a handful of overlapping affiliate clicks? Do the referrers all split the pool or most-recent wins?

Handle errors in bash? More power to you, but if my script cannot just fail in place, then it will be written in Python. Even with shellcheck, I do not trust myself to write more than a handful of lines in bash.

During the Texas blizzard power outages, the state was supposedly minutes away from a black start scenario[0]. Estimates are that it would have taken weeks to restore power to the state owing to the complexity of syncing everything back tog

I believe this is a somewhat common arrangement for industrial users. The power company gives a discount if you agree to be first in line to be cut when reserves are at a minimum.

Assuming 10 hours a piece, 6k books feels a very achievable dataset. Even Librivox claims 18k books (with many duplicates and hugely varying quality levels). If you wanted to get expansive, you could dig into the podcast archives of BBC, NP

I just dipped my toe into the Nix pool a couple of weeks ago, and there are instructions to use root to create a /nix and grant ownership rw to your user account. No further admin required, but everything else seems to work as if using

My naive thought - complexity kills all things. Eukaryotic cell is bigger, has more metabolic processes, can have specialized life cycle, etc. All of which means that it is slower growing and could be out-competed by the faster-growing, but

I assume a more common scenario is something like expanding the property line. Person A technically owns the plot, but neighbor B thought it was on their side of property, and has been letting their animals graze on it for the past decades.

I would love if base SQL were improved. On the other hand, we are just slapping lipstick on a pig. It is already a gargantuan mess which needs a path to replacement. Then again, Oracle just this year added support for booleans, so asking th

You do not get to lay down such criticism without offering alternative suggestions. What is your top-tier classic or modern cRPG? Edit: Not a fanboy defensiveness or anything. Just rare to see the contrarian opinion on this, and genuinely c
