What does "linear" mean to you? Integration is linear[1]. The Hilbert space of all the functions you care about is linear[2]. Life is locally linear[3]. So maybe "non-linear" is just a red herring. 1. https://

The intention is to offer one more useful framing to look at the world with (along with all the other ways of understanding things). I think you're asking for too much if you're looking for an exhaustive and irrefutable universal

Could be a misleading statistic. What if the discomfort goes away after a week in 95% of patients?

The point is that the "unmarked" vehicle sticks out as unusual even without having "Apple" or "Police" emblazoned on its side.

I wonder how a German person would describe it. Probably not like that, I'll bet.

My theory: this has more to do with loss prevention. If they make you feel seen, you are less likely to shoplift.

Yeah. All I really want is more RAM so that I can tab between Safari and Facebook without one of them getting unloaded and losing my place.

I'm really growing fond of the async/await abstraction. How do I get this in more C-like languages like Go, Rust, or C++? (I have a bunch of C++ code that I want to call via C ABIs.) I'm intrigued by libdill but it's mys

Sorry, I should have looked for primary sources. I do recall hearing that we've massively accelerated output over the last couple of years. Best I can find right now is that we are projected to take the lead in production[1], which a

Just speculation, but I suspect the American design is better at containing smells. Sure, that's also solvable by just promptly flushing, but I wonder if this is a calculated decision by manufacturers to avoid getting a reputation for

That's a software quality issue, not one of having the right hardware. We went to the moon using pretty weak hardware and clever software.
