There isn't really such a thing as 'idgaf' centrism though, centrism is about balance and carefully treading a path that meets some of the desires of all sides, while at the same time not going 'far enough' by makin

Not being routed to Spam is largely a two-step process, which is of moderate complexity in SES, but if you're browsing GitHub you can probably handle it: * Setting up DKIM and SPF - Amazon makes this relatively painless, particularly i

I actually love the slightly 'off' aesthetic on the simpsons video, and I think there's some interesting creative space where this algorithm is deliberately de-tuned for interesting results.

He will probably (according to mortality rates) survive, and prove himself right that he could shrug it off. If he doesn't, it doesn't matter that he was wrong, because he won't be in a position to care.

Do modern systems encode a degree of variability? Either by way of slightly varying the parameters of the underlying vectors (beziers?) to mimic the slight variability in speed and curvature of a true signature, or by analysing 100 input sa

There are machines that just do this process for you that work well, I have one similar to this[0] and it's very easy to use. 0: https://www.amazon.co.uk/VonShef-Digital-Yoghurt-Maker-Jars/...

I would love to know what the bug was, sadly we'll probably never know. I imagine the engineer responsible for `NEVER 349` made a mistake that ended up flipping a single bit, to the `ALWAYS 349` position...

Sadly while this is true for weirdos, it's also true for fascists, racists, conspiracy theorists etc.

How on earth do you create a puzzle like that? Coming up with the rules it's presumably simple to generate solutions with a computer program, but how do you then work out the cells which need to be filled in order to not only minimally

Here in the UK at least it's very popular with the running community, although I remember a few years ago it was definitely cycling-first. Would be interesting to know what the breakdown is by activities, users' primary activity t

I think this is fair. Strava summit is a cheap subscription, and running a very cheap sport to participate in. Segments in my experience appeal to spreadsheet heads who get a kick out of meaningless drilling down into data[0]. I imagine mos

To be clear: I do not see this as good news. The only way new life and new ideas arise is in the wake of the deceased. Death is neccessary for life. If those at the top can further cement and accumulate their wealth and power due to living

That sounds great if it works for you. Obviously don't change your habits if they're not problematic! For me before I made the change the last thing I'd do at night was look at my phone, the first thing I'd do in the mor

One of the best small changes I made was sleeping in a different room to my phone. We now have a charging station in the study where all our phones and other devices charge. When I wake up I often go through breakfast etc. before going to g

These aren't companies. Most are charities. The Royal Opera House will be fine, the hundreds of smaller music organisations will not.
