When I said 30+ (assuming you're still using that figure in reference to my comment; if not please ignore me) I wasn't talking about distance between places, I was talking about time spent at places.

Food packaging is full of this stuff. Think about how a greasy sandwich or stick of butter is wrapped in a magic piece of paper that somehow doesn't get completely saturated with grease/sauce... that's PFAS.

For nonstick/waterproof/hydrophobic coatings to not slowly shed from whatever they're applied to and end up in the water, they'd need to not be applied in the first place. Not having them is cheaper than having them, but

I recently had to look up what constitutes "common" vs. "rare" and I found the typical threshold to be 5%. You're only at 10% of that so I'd call it very rare.

I don't mean to ask about or promote any particular sort algorithm. Rather, I'm discussing the transformation of a name into a "sort string," which will then be sorted (the algorithm you mention being a fine choice for t

And then there's sometimes a need for a "sort name" value. When I have upstream data consisting of separate first name and last name fields, my function to generate a sort name is to concatenate last name and first name, and

It matters for just one tiny aspect of the library: Note.freq(), Note.fromFreq(), etc.

I don't mean to lose my 'temper' here, but I think gp is hoping Note.freq(), Note.fromFreq(), etc. aren't locked into A440 as the examples imply. While >99% of the library doesn't deal with this at all, it would

Very interesting! Some kind of buggy DMZ type of thing, perhaps, where even the DHCP traffic flowed right on through... who knows.

Right. Before all water at the bottom has evaporated, the temperature is 100C. After all water has evaporated, the temperature rises uncontrolled due to lack of latent heat. So basically it just shuts off when the temperature exceeds 100C,

Reminds me of notching out microphone feedback on a 31-band graphic equalizer without a real-time analyzer revealing the frequency. There was ear training software to simulate this activity, for practicing the art.

This got me double checking myself, but it does seem that a typical "common versus rare" threshold is a rate of 5%, though other values like 1% and 10% are sometimes used. Based on this, I'll concede that it might be common f

Drivers pick up some portion of the road budget through fuel tax, and NJ even recently invented a way to make EV owners pay for same in lieu of fuel tax.

When you say "common," can you be more specific? I believe the actual rate, in the form of trips with an incident over trips without an incident, would be described as extremely uncommon. Perhaps there's been an uptick, and p

It's not comparing your response to some hard truth, it's comparing your response to a typical response. Sort of like how LLMs dish stuff out based on what's probable, not based on hard truth. So when you fail, it's not
