   I have mild tritanomaly ("blue-yellow colorblindness"), which _directly_ affects blue vs green color discrimination, and I landed at 168, "greener than 85% of the population"

   yeah this seems to detect my tritanomaly

   I love this script, it's a shame that it will probably never be a film. The philosophy question it implies - does science and technology have its own teleology, and if so is that good or evil - is one that fascinates me for anyone who

   in _general_ sure, but if you restricted each token to conform to a Kleene-star grammar you should be able to guarantee that you get something that parses according to a context-free grammar

   it could be some other environmental trigger. for example, there was a study a few years back that suggested that some kinds of baby wipes could make it more likely that the child develops a food allergy: https://www.goodhousekee

   I feel the opposite! I can usually get components next-day on Amazon, and I can get entire circuit boards _assembled_ from China in about a week. Maybe I'm not trying to do anything particularly hard, but I keep being pleasantly surpri

   nice! I have needed this before. I think you're using the Meeus algorithm from Astronomical Algorithms? it's a classic, great choice

    I've heard that before and it just sounds so strange - why would interpolated frames on a HDTV remind people of the production values from standard definition televisions?

    I've thought about doing this sort of thing, maybe a max number of visitors per day, for a blog, as an anti-going-viral measure

    I'm in a subculture where people mostly don't own televisions (I do watch shows on my laptop, occasionally) but so I have never seen motion smoothing - is there a demo, online, like on youtube or something, that can give me a sens

    I'll still count it. Natgas is much cleaner than coal. And economics will eventually force their hand as solar costs continue to fall

    the nice thing about solar is that it's naturally diffuse, it's actually more effort to push it into a dense urban area than to have it spread over a rural place

    battery costs are falling incredibly fast, so maybe this whole conversation will be moot soon

    a thing I learned recently is that we are _already_ using hydroelectric power to balance out solar power - apparently with existing dams it's possible to dial down the flow in the daytime and dial it up at night. As more solar energy c

    I’ve seen a demo - cannot immediately remember where - where instead of data flowing through lines, it actually had a physics engine where the data was shot out of the boxes in various directions, and did computation with whatever box it in

    there's a process-control failure here - the reason the traditional drive-through works is that the cars stay in order and if it gets crowded then they can't reach the order speaker so it's rate-limited. The touchscreens don&

    this might be 20th-century thinking. if you can build enough copies of a rocket cheap enough, maybe disintegrating a bunch of them isn't a showstopper
