I wasn't aware of Click, it looks promising. For reference, it's a backronym for 'Command Line Interface Creation Kit': https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/8.0.x/

Woz did a stint as an educator after working at Apple, and one of the stories he recounted was how a student told him he was able to create an animation on a computer. Woz's first thought was that it was not possible, because there was

There’s an option in iTunes to sync entire library, in the phone music page. It takes a while to tx 100+ gb, sure, but you do it once when you get the phone and after that you just move diffs. It’s not perfect - I get errors from time to ti

The same is true for humans, though - the presence of wolves adds to human fear of the wilderness. I only read the abstract but I wonder if this was accounted for in the article. Sure, it’s plausible that wolves lead to fewer deer-vehicle c

> 13,000 acres (5,261 hectares) this annoys me.. unless by some 1/1000 chance the thing's area is an exact multiple of 1,000 acres, the first number is rounded to the nearest 1000 acres. If the first number is rounded, the seco

Iain Banks was famous for (tongue-in-cheek I think) saying he'd wouldn't mind changes Hollywood wanted in order to get a movie made.[1] The machine-machine conversations, virtual hell, etc. parts of his books would probably not tr

You should look up the Far Side comic where a professor invents a dog translator. Turns out the only thing dogs say is 'Hey! Hey! Hey!'.

It's run by CPAs, not PGeos.. something to note. Very generally speaking, having a company run by technical professionals is better than having a company run by financial professionals. Still, an interesting find, worth looking into.

It's strange and sad how, to me, at least, WW2 artifacts like these are moving from the category of items representing the time we live in to items representing the distant past, like wrecks of wooden frigates. ~80 years is a long time

Adding a minus sign in front of a site: specifier still works for me (eg "google -site:google.com"). Works on DDG, too.

It didn't link everyone into centrally run sovereign nation states, though, which I thought was what we were talking about.

Roads and canals do fine for knitting together a nation in the cultural and political sense of the word, and for enforcing/dispensing all the fruits of central government. Europe in the early 1800s was less homogeneous than today, perh

The history of airplay he gives on that page under the 'AirPlay protocol versions' heading is worth a link all by itself.

I'm suggesting that just 'see programming language' be the name, but references to it as the holy see could cause confusion. Something like the great schism of programming languages :)

'see programming language' would be more searchable, and would illustrate one use-case for the project (write some code, see what it looks like in a bunch of C-esque languages). Also, you could make jokes about the holy see progra

My mum bought one for the family, and my dad complained for years about how much it cost. Great machine at the time, though. Edit: wiki sez "Introductory price US$4,369 (equivalent to $9,120 in 2020)", so I get where he was coming

For one, their map isn't restricted to areas that have paved roads or are otherwise regularly occupied by people, unlike the cellmapper map. Radio propagation maps are used when siting new cell towers, for example. I'm not a radio

My main thought reading this as a non-network admin was of Mr Robot, and all the Linux installs on low level hardware used for hacks on that show. Very interesting read and lots of upside to what is discussed, but the thought of the uncount

There were in fact 4 large observatories, of which Hubble was one. Hubble captures light in the visible wavelegnths, the others captured light in other wavelenghts. Their pictures aren't as pretty so they get less attention. There&#x27

I discovered you can say ‘hey Siri volume N’ where N is the volume percentage. 70 usually works out for me for normal listening. Not that I disagree with your main point; I refuse to use Siri in public, like you say, it’s humiliating.

It has a docking clamp, though that's for future-proofing. Apparently the initial type of mission envisioned was a crewed Orion vehicle, though I'm sure a wide variety of missions could attach. My guess was that the clamp was ma
