I've always just used github as a source control repo. It's also useful that Google links open source projects when I search for things. If the trending page disappeared today I wouldn't notice. In fact, the only time I ever

I actually am quite familiar with suckless tools and I do consider myself an advanced user, so I'm probably part of their target market as well. But to be honest, from a pragmatic point of view I just don't see how configuration t

So a more more accurate description seems to be "there is no evidence that thinking of the viruses in terms of multiple strains is scientifically helpful".

The immediate question that springs to mind is why the US Navy with all its sophisticated technologies were not able to identify these as known aircraft or balloons. If they could identify these objects, why lie? If they could not and these

I don't know a lot about the background of this project or the region. Why has it taken this long for a tunnel to be built in LV? Was/is it not considered necessary?

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread it sounds as if what you're asking is related to the anthropic principle. Maybe it would be more appropriate to argue that "the set of physical laws that arise from the known fundamental cons

You could say the same for improperly porting commit messages when switching version control systems.

This really just depends on your team/company/culture. Lengthy commit messages are not really required if you have associated tickets in a bug-tracking or project-management system. More often than not, you'll just be duplic

There was another paper updated shortly afterwards (first published in Jan 2019) here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.01540 It puts the value of H0 at 75.2+-(39.5;32.4) using standard sirens. Researchers expect a 2% measur

The numbers are indeed out of date. I re-ran the tests for some of the C and Nim programs using Nim 0.19.4 and gcc 7.3.0 on Windows 10. Here are the results: crb-omp 0m22.949s crb 0m23.240s crb_opt 0m31.404s

Yes, and that only works by changing how scoping works. Unless of course you don't care about the variables created inside. i.e. public void DoThing() { var someVar = SomeStaticClass.FooFunc(); someVar.DoSometh

This varies by region. In the US transport and coal power are equal in terms of their contribution. In Nigeria it's diesel and deforestation. But I will concede that it's not "minor" (not sure why I said that...) I&#x

Anything is "arguably" worse or better. But honestly, I would challenge that point any day. As much as I'm against fossil fuels, coal powered plants only contribute a very minor part to global warming compared to lets say..
