I agree with you, but at the same time feel the need to point out you disregard the previous comment's distinction of national v world histories. It does seem a bit spurious since school classes of history are mostly about creating an

Not an expert either, but this might be a good way to think about it: on land or at sea, the machines produce the same amount of heat. On land, in general, the environment around the machines will be much warmer than the desired temp. Cooli

Same here. But with a wider audience this lack of functional app would be unthinkable.

I use materialistic but have a bookmark to my comments page to regularly check if I receive replies, since there's no notification system and the profile view in materialistic is shit.

Yes, but do we need that information? It could be the case of any integer graph. Either just plot the samples, or curve them. Don't curve them with intermediary values, that means even less than a trend curve. Edit: okay maybe the viol

Figure 9.b seems to have a problem with sampling? Half numbers of core contributors are plotted even though they (thankfully) don't correspond to the samples.

Quick question: in the proposed rewording of intro.execution¶8, why is the following rewriting “((a + b) + 32765)” not reintegrated at the end of the untouched text? Have I misunderstood that with two's complement this would be legal?

My father's rule is to only read by opening books (new, old, known, unknown, already read, halfway read) randomly and just plowing through that random part of the book. I don't think I would personally enjoy that constant destruct

Also, if you're interested in readable languages, there's the family of roff languages that might seem terse at first when coming from LaTeX but actually have a very enjoyable grammar. The LaTeX ecosystem is so great that I don&#x

I think that's a good feeling. I also don't think you need to involve any superstition for this good sense to be meaningful. You can just replace this God ex Machina with your own will / your understanding of a life worth liv

I have the same pet peeve with media , especially in french where média is used only as a singular, with les médias for the plural. Médium is exclusively used for ways of expression, and médiums for speaking with the dead. I get th

The above comment makes no mentions of who is doing what to whom. I think the idea of “us” doing things worse than I could imagine is just as scary as the other way round. You are indirectly part of the responsible bodies and may face the b

I have the same feeling and I believe that the initial L of Laurel really strongly shapes the rest of the word. When I move the slider towards Yanny I can still always hear Laurel but I can distinguish the "yaew" that makes Yanny;

This is great because I can hear both very easily while in can only hear Laurel moooost of the time. Here it's much clearer that when primed for "storm", "nee" is at most interpreted as a low deformed echo of "

It's also very natural to act in this exaggerated way. Real resentment, subconscious bias and humorous exaggeration are influenced by the same mental model of us v. them. I naturally joked that I would leave my SO since we're not

I agree with the spirit. More precisely I especially agree that static icons cannot easily convey actions; instead they look like things which are supposed to be associated with a purpose, symbols which are usually clumsy, or combined shape

As a counterpoint, “solve” used as a noun is very common in the cubing community though, and I don't think it's supposed to sound trendy or anything. It also sounds quite normal coming from numerical analysis domain I think. Howev

You might be right. Nevertheless it seems distracting on a typography focused article, while the same focus could have been drawn without affecting the look of the document. Also the actual first image bothers me in a similar way: the color
