I think the trouble is that the time scale you've assumed for molecular reactions is off; atoms move and react much faster than you may expect. (In air at room temperature, an individual molecule will undergo billions(?) of collisions

Yeah, I realized that just after I posted my reply. As usr1106 mentioned, the solution would be to always use square brackets. It would take up more space, but I think it would still be better for at least two reasons: • Even with the bra

It's a silly bikeshed, but I wish they'd gone for hyphens as separators rather than colons. There's something about [abcd-ef12-3456-7890-abcd-ef12-3456-7890] that's nicer to read than [abcd:ef12:3456:7890:

There was a reddit post about it (something like "I reverse engineered TikTok and found blah blah"), but it was likely fraudulent. There was also that iOS bug with clipboard notifications. I think those were the source of most of

I don't mind automatic updates, but I at least want to know when they're going to happen. There are two important pieces of information that are apparently impossible to obtain: "if I put my computer to sleep, will it wake

That's quite different from the hypothetical earlier, because you're now describing multiple owners rather than a single monopoly. If a single corporation owns all homes, they can artificially limit supply by buying up any new pro

"A lot of small things adding up" is also how conspiracy theories are formed and sustained. Be it Qanon, GME, Pizzagate, 9/11-was-an-inside-job, etc. They all rely on small details that are not individually damning, but in ag

It appears that each command is documented at the top of its respective source file. Though I may be misunderstanding and you mean that that documentation is insufficient. Regardless, I agree that there should be a proper man page with more

Note that the leaked documents were released three days ago, and this is just The Intercept's reporting on them. They can be found here: https://drasticresearch.org/2021/09/21/the-defuse-project-do...

Incidentally, the inspiration for the name may be more due to rusts (the fungi) than to rust (oxidized iron). See: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/27jvdt/internet_archa...

Regarding repetitons: the aversion to repeated words can create some amusingly inelegant sentences. These have become known as "knobbly monsters", after a particularly egregious example where a writer needed a synonym for "al

I'm not very familiar with UNIX's history, so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe it originates with the QED text editor. More specifically, with Ken Thompson's rewrite of the QED text editor, when he bequeathed it

I do wonder how much of this is exacerbated by hoarding. Similar to the Great Toilet Paper Shortage, where fear of continued shortages caused panic buying which caused extended shortfall of supply. And that was in an industry where producti

Try running the profiler? (Developer tools -> Performance tab, not sure if it's only be available Nightly/dev editions.) May give an indication of what's wrong. Might be an issue with hardware acceleration.

Have you tried using the profiler? It will give you a lot of detail. It's under the "performance" tab on the dev tools.

The Pi 4 uses DRAM with on-die ECC, which AFAIK does not provide any means of reporting errors (corrected or uncorrected) to the SoC's memory controller. It is effectively a cost-saving measure to improve DRAM yields. As such, it does

Conspiracy theories are a subset of false beliefs. (Well, except where there actually is a real conspiracy.) The target need not have actual power - as long as the belief involves some form of "people are colluding secretly" (ak

Yes, but nothing explodes or breaks if they miss that budget. A single missed frame isn't ideal, but it's not considered a system failure.
