Actually, I should. The biggest hold up will probably be translations though, unless they have that already translated.

I ran into this in pgAdmin recently. When right-clicking on a server, the options to disconnect the server and remove the server are right next to each other. Clicking disconnect presents you with the following dialog box: "Are you s

Just for giggles, that works out to ~17.42 kilowatt-hours per kilogram of mass, just for the pure kinetic energy. Then you have inefficiencies like electricty-to-kinetic-energy conversion losses and atmospheric drag to contend with. It&#x2

I've seen enough movies to know that the proper response to that scenario is to boost the ISS to escape velocity ASAP.

No, the journalist will just report from an "anonymous source" instead.

I think the concepts of "emergency funds" being discussed are different here. There are the $1000 "I need cash now" emergency funds. Then there are the 6-12 month "I lost my job" emergency funds. I think you

I had a thought the other day. Our house didn't have a fridge, so we had to buy one when we moved in. We plugged it in one day about 7 years ago and haven't touched it since. So here's a machine that has been keeping our f

You are definitely working at a different bank than I was... Mine had an entire division focused just on internal technology and tooling. Which was actually a bit of a nightmare, because it led to things like building our own cloud with

Ah I was thinking of the subway vents you see along the street and sidewalks in New York. That is indeed a drastically different scale.

I really don't understand these systems where it's "5-stars or bust". Why even have stars if the only thing that matters is 5 or not-5. If you only care about a binary signal like that, then just make it a binary quest

You can see from the small spherical artifact that the light is in the upper-right of the picture. So shadows on the upper-right mean that area is indented. We can see such shadows on the leg of the sword fighter and on the shield. So bo

Arid locations already enjoy much cheaper cooling via swamp coolers over heat pumps. They're just enough to keep it bearable during the day, then the night comes and clears out all the latent heat.

Do the tubes never cross a road? Why knock down a building instead of taking a vent to a street?

`Content-Disposition` also works for form submission. If a response to a form submission contains the `Content-Disposition` header, the browser will expose that to the user as a download and the page will not navigate.

This is true of pretty much anything that wants to directly invoke the browser's download mechanism. AFAICT the options are either: 1. Use JS, in which case one can handle errors and otherwise be involved in the request / respons

No, I'm simply restating Maslov's hierarchy of needs. You cannot reach self-actualization without first covering basic needs. One of which is, ironically, called "safety". As in, perhaps, a safety net... Or, in other

And if one were to consider healthcare premiums in the US as a "tax", the US looks very much like a European country. We in the US are already paying for the safety net, but without actually getting one. https://www.pe

In my early 20's, I would have agreed 100% with your stance. But, you know what really gives people freedom and liberty? The freedom to fail without worrying about how they're going to keep a roof over their head and a meal on

Eh, it's pretty analogous to the phrase "I missed my exit." There's temporal and intentional elements in addition to the spacial one you're referencing, which makes it "my exit" as opposed to just "a

No, see, that's not a good comparison. You're already doing exactly what I said, which is compressing to a single probability. There's only one probability in russian roulette. The prior is that you pulled the trigger. The

It's not really a great argument. Languages are always evolving, so there's always a need to update the system by ingesting new inputs. Even natural general intelligences, aka us humans, learn by repeatedly ingesting the new inp

It's OK, Contact prepared me for this. We should use math. Have we tried strobing a 2-3-5-7 sequence at one, and see if it gives us 11? (The above is meant in jest, of course.)

Yes, sharing an apartment is typical in college. However, when I was in college, it was typical to go to the management and modify the lease to include the extra person. That way they are at least equally legally responsible for everythin
