I have used a min-max heap once. I don't remember why I needed it at the time--it was a previous job--but I do remember that I had to roll my own, because it's just not that popular of a data structure, and it was the obvious and

I'm pretty sure "many-worlds is false" is not , in fact, a "pillar of reality".

Oh my gosh, I hate that "10th dimension" video so freaking much . It has done nothing but spread confusion and false understanding across the internet. If it were just presented as a fun exploration of what 10 dimensions could

Correct. Proxy baptisms are never considered to make someone a member of the Church, precisely because it is not possible for the earthly Church to confirm with a dead person that they have given their consent. It is merely considered to ma

I know that. I went through it while learning Russian. Nevertheless, the spelling system is close enough that, in my experience, that is in fact the point of view held by the majority of native Russian speakers--if you hear a word and don

Yes. Speakers of Russian, for example, find the concept of a "spelling bee" to be completely nonsensical--if you hear a word and can't spell it, you must just be completely illiterate, and vice-versa. I have heard this is the

That is a correct impression. A name, date, and associated place, with all three assumed to uniquely identify an individual in most cases, are required to perform the ordinance. Most typically, that's a birth name and a date and place

Even discounting the procedural difficulties, which would make such a baptism invalid to the church, it doesn't count without knowledge and consent.

If you want to make realistic estimates of the bounds of how well you can do automation tasks without cameras, sure. But not really relevant for figuring out how useful "point a camera at it" can be.

Important distinction: this is an epistemic "can", not a deontic "can". In other words, they are saying that it is possible to keep your windows open if you want to and still not let noise in--not that you are permitted

I am not particularly impressed with the prospects for vehicle range extension. All-electric seems like The Way To Go at this point. But improved efficiencies for a home backup generator seem like a potentially really great thing.

The Electric Universe is a much different, much more wide-reaching bit of crackpottery than this.

They absolutely are. My wife is an ICU nurse, former ER nurse, and they've seen way more cases of purposeful suicide attempts and alcohol poisoning in the last few months.

I would think neutron stars accumulating material from a binary companion ought to be reasonably common. Unlike white dwarfs, they won't be able to blow themselves apart in supernovae, so they should just keep accumulating mass until t

And the state of EMR software pretty much supports the point that it is, indeed, nearly impossible to build new things under those constraints....

Rents, and house prices, are going up where I live, reportedly as a result of all of the people leaving California cities and moving here instead.

Note that the price of gold is much higher than the price of helium. If helium prices rise high enough, then yes, we will extract it from the atmosphere. And scientists will be sad because the they won't be able to afford as much of it

No, we won't. The whole point of fusion power is that it takes very little fuel to produce a lot of energy. That means very little helium ash produced. If all of the world's current electric power production were fueled by fusion,

They do now . Because yes, they did re-establish the police force later. But step one was completely eliminating the existing force. 100% reset.

It worked for the country of Georgia. They disbanded their entire national police force, and violent crime immediately went down.

Russian also has a single word for the entire lower limb, leg and foot included: "noga". Also a single word for the combined arm and hand: "ruka".

It appears to me that the main selling point here is automatic parallelization, with futures/promises being abstracted away.
