You're right, just like everyone else on this thread.

https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ The site you posted is awesome. Thought I'd share this FlexBox gem, too. I found that link in the React docs (I think?) and it's always been a

Your idea will get stolen, if it's good. Most likely, it's not good and your idea won't get stolen because no one gives a fuck about you and your problems, which is a good thing. If you are in the .1%, then you probab

I just stopped using `var` entirely, and now I almost exclusively use `const` everywhere unless I'm dealing with flags or counters in which case I use `let`.

The introduction is rather lengthy, if you're looking to skip to the part regarding mitochondria: "The Brain is What, Exactly?" section starts a bit before halfway scroll.

Misleading article. Einstein is responsible for a lot of quantum statistics and quantum mechanics. Also, this isn't really anything new from some new theory. It's all contained within QFT and the uncertainty principle. More or les

Reminds me of a recent negative experience with Apple Customer support. I had an issue, and they bounced me around to several different people for pretty much no reason. Then they harassed with me "Senior" Apple advisers after the

I'm sorry if my words upset you. That said, it would be a shame to tell someone off if they bring up a good point (however brash). I used to teach this stuff, and I can tell you many of my students would end up being more confused with

Simple -- people tend to think in the gutter, because there's no harm in it. I can wish you dead right now, and it will literally not materialize into anything, and because of that, I may not even feel bad about it. A problematic situa

In the next 5-20 years, I think "programming and IOT without screens" will allow pretty much anyone to do a lot of useful stuff on the computer without actually being present at one, or knowing the exact technical syntax for how t

It's easier to think of matrix multiplication by computing the matrix elements, which means reducing the problem to NM vector dot products. To get the element of the result matrix at position (n,m), compute the inner product < r_n |

Don't be fooled by a few utterances of the word "Blockchain". This could still be exploited by the game owners, who have control of the drop rates and enemy interactions (i.e. there are still centralized aspects of this envir

In China, two buttons need to be pressed at exactly the same time in order to launch China's backup Dystopian Idea-Holocaust. Mark Zuckerberg, being the serial larcenist he is, flew to China, stole one of these buttons, and replaced

It's amazing that we just still live in a system where the people who methodically know nothing about something can end up controlling the majority share.

I'm not sure what you mean. The way I understand it, the vacuum is capable of creating arbitrary particles as long as the quantum numbers are conserved and ΔEΔt >= ħ/2. With e- being the lightest (apart from neutrinos, which ar

If anyone's lazy, I highly suggest at least reading parts 9 and 10. One of the interesting takeaways here is that Q * -thrust is 2 orders of magnitude stronger than Photon-thrusters, and about 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than Ion-t

I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Disagreement is the way a society grows. If everyone agreed on everything, we'd be stuck in the dark ages. It's very simple. This happened with pretty much every advancement in sci

I never actually assumed that. The scientific method applies to systems which have a set of observables. Social science is not a second class citizen to natural science, as both society and nature are systems which can be observed. Therefor

That's just wrong. Imagine a (definitely plausible) future where a snapchat-level social app is created which relies on this local communication. People would obviously jump ship from Chrome to FF if it meant being on the new local soc

What you speak of is backwards. The answer to disagreement isn't for both parties to walk away in opposite directions, nor is it for one party to kill the other party. Disagreement is valuable in that it provides the world an opportuni

This, which is also ironic considering what happened in the late 1700's. No Government should ever program itself to be resilient to change. Such a thing is a virus, not a Government. "Ok kids, we're going to play a game call
