Their most expensive item [1] is 49% nylon and 33% polyester body, with some components being 90% polyester. The only recycled part is the lining, which is conveniently the least dense. Not sure what's more premium than that. [1] http

Choosing between left and right if they're both open fixes the bias when there is only a single pixel falling, but not when a circle is used. This is because the update function runs from right to left across the screen, so the falling

FWIW, the person you're responding to mostly solves this. It's a website, and while they do ask for an email they don't validate it. That said, I did end up with a ticket because I parked in their space, phone was dead, and m

Slow typist here, I make letter swap typos all the time. Cmd+T is my best friend. Curious if other aphantastics are similarly slow/error prone? I cannot visualize a keyboard, and while I can usually type without looking, my form is poo

The stars overhead at night in the summer tend to be overhead at day in the winter. For instance, in the northern hemisphere's summer we look in towards the milky way center at night, but during winter nights we look out towards the gr

What a mindset. "Foreigners are coming here to destroy our culture, we can let them work for us but never give them full rights".

Maybe not patronizing, but it does hurt your case. My team recently went though to remove “please” from all dialogs because user testing found phrases like “please reload to active X” resulted in more people ignoring the dialog and later wo

Just don’t be mean. I read this a while ago, then observed an interaction at a bar that made me want to respond: A party kept moving from table to table. I have no clue why. But the waiter would need to go and clean every table that they le

War always results in death. My claim is the differential from losing GPS is less than that of losing power.

by jakear 5y ago
Not all that difficult for a ground deployment to know where they are without GPS. You know (generally) where you started, what direction you’re headed, and how fast you’re going. Maps exist, and cartography is still taught. Not to mention

That’s where the vacuum comes in. Extract half of that hot air, seal the container, and you have 70% of the helium lifting force. (Math may be wrong there but you get the idea) Really you don’t need hot air at all. If you have a massive vac

by jakear 5y ago
Could some combination of a partial vacuum and hot air substitute for helium? Of course you'd need some ultra light superstructure to maintain the giant vacuum, but that's "just" engineering.

I think the real question is whether the images will generally look distinctly different from existing space telescope images. In the example you provide, the JWST image is only remarkable because the sampled area is too small for Spitzer t

Article seems to be saying “DK doesn’t exist because it always exists”. Which is… absurd? The point of DK is that when you don’t know shit, any non-degenerate self assessment will result in overestimating your ability. In short, “there are

First of all, this is clearly Lean not Coq (and certainly not “CoQ”). While the distinction is minor, it does cause me to question if you may have fallen victim to the Dunning–Kruger effect here. Perhaps I’m wrong, but it may be worth some

If Euclid had formulated his proof from axioms rather than intuition it would a) be an actual proof and b) far exceed the length of the above snippet.

Wait what? Computer science encompasses mathematics. Any proof that can be validated by following a known set of reduction steps until axiomatic statements are reached (i.e. any proof worth the paper it’s written on) can be verified just as
