10K global variables sounds insane, until i realize "oh, huh, we have that too, we just call it _config_". Almost every place we would have a constant (tuning parameters, etc) we instead have a configurable value with the likely d

That's excellent! I rowed in high school and college... but this is very next level. I love seeing stuff like this, thanks for posting the vid here!

I was on a webex recently, and after years of using Zoom I was all "oh, wow - is see Webex has a 'make my skin look worse' feature. Gotta compete with Zoom somehow"

Just guessing, but the benefit could be not cutting a cable by accident as you lay yours?

per another comment[0], it's cheaper to just stay in the water unless you specifically want to attach to a land network. I don't have the knowledge the other commenter seems to have, but that certainly seems believable to me. [0]

I'd more say that "the US hates poor people". It doesn't help me, as a rich person, that poor people get screwed by the government regularly & repeatedly. In fact it makes my life much worse in a bunch of ways.

Ah, that wasn't clear from your comment. Thanks.

One of those is a conspiracy theory. The other isn't. WMD?

Isn't a new city an example of priority reconsideration? I don't follow your argument.

Imagine a stoned teenager really falling in love with the idea of rewriting Paradise Lost "but in a computer, like Tron". And then vomiting like 700 pages of it. And then not editing it. And then releasing it in hardback.

Fall was easily the worst thing he's written (pretty sure i've read all of his output... except the last hundred pages of Fall)

I never thought my my ability to move my ears as "impressive", thanks! FWIW the muscle that surrounds the ear from behind is under direct control for me, like any other muscle. I can move the ears independently of one another. But

Johnston & Murphy makes a comfortable shoe, probably the only ones in my closet that rival my Allbirds. In particular the McGuffey Plain Toe: https://www.johnstonmurphy.com/mcguffey-plain-toe/8318.html YMMV, of cou

I read the FCC as saying "we have to assess fees based on our charter/legislation" - ie, it is not discretionary given the language of the law.

Really? Have we had a revolution in homomorphic encryption such that it can be used for anything other than 1-million-times-slower proofs-of-concept? I know IBM has released something lately, but given the source.. Does anyone use HE for th

Yeah that's a safe bet. Also: my recalling that series is NOT a recommendation. Even as a bored 12-year-old I'm pretty sure I knew it was dross. Yes I read all of them...

Some Piers Anthony series? the ones about the twinned sci-fi/fantasy world? EDIT: a quick search tells me "Apprentice Adept" is the name of the series I'm thinking of.

What do you expect incognito to change? That would presumably show the same content the author is seeing. Only Google sees the content that drives the ranking. It is Google that needs "incognito" mode, not the author.

(sorry to be that guy, just a useful FYI) I think you may want "ultimate"? penultimate = second-to-last.

Great question, I have no answer. The article explained forcing in such a way as to simply restate what I thought we already knew: given a real, there is no "next" real. (ie, there are a non-countable-infinite number of reals bet

Sam Sifton (mentioned in the article) has a "No Recipe Recipes" book that I just received for Father's Day. Perfectly suited to how I like to cook.

(not sure why the downvotes, I just upvoted you - this is a solid question) I suppose because property values are considered to be more stable than, say, GameStock puts. But you raise a good point, that what we're talking about (reall
