It's the opposite. The reason cows produce more methane is precisely because they eat grass.

It's not even just the trust in scientific consensus, but also the trust in particular scientific papers and studies in e.g. pop science articles. Scientists themselves are usually cautious about what conclusions to draw from a single

What were the things you did? Did it improve testosterone levels too? If that is the mechanism, could you raise sperm count with artificial testosterone? Or would that be counterproductive?

At a busy time, the average stationsfietsenstalling is overfull and has -500 places, so that's why people complain :)

You're right, the king probably had more booty. Remember though that the king's wealth is many standard deviations above average, so we have to compare him to somebody who is many standard deviations more attractive than average.

Economic inequality within a developed nation is one of the least important kinds of inequality. I'd trade one standard deviation of income for one standard deviation of pretty much anything else, such as intelligence or attractiveness

The Noctua NH-D14 is the best heatsink, but Arctic P14 PWM fans are superior to Noctua, and much cheaper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv1S9RhABa8

These lectures are fantastic, as is his book about Morse theory. Highly recommended. And freely available: https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/milnmors.pdf

What does that even mean? Surely the utility function being optimised by the algorithm is quality of life adjusted years saved by the vaccine? Surely they do not value different people's lives differently based on their group identity,

I don't think you need an effect system. You just need to take care to correctly fiddle with some reference counts when an exception traverses your stack frame. You already need to do that in other reference counted systems. After all,

I wonder whether the name reflects the hope that the JCTB editorial board will follow suit.

A good thought experiment to determine what people actually think: would they give that as advice to their own children? Having higher self esteem or a bit more belief that you can do something than is strictly warranted can be advantageous

That's a good point.

I like Biden more than Bernie or Trump, and he's not wrong. His then vs now speech and debate performance is clearly not the same. He doesn't have dementia, but he's a lot slower and comes across as less intelligent than befo

People only rose to the occasion by chance. Had there not been corona and had the economy still been booming, Trump would probably have won. Surely it is possible to find someone out of 300 million people with the same qualities as Biden --

I've only used ggplot2 and found it fantastic compared to standard plotting tools. What has been improved about the design of these type of visualization tools since then?

How it the TDP number determined? How can the 8 core CPU be 105W and the 16 core CPU be 105W too? Why isn't the maximum power draw of 16 cores roughly double the power draw of 8 cores?

Very nice, thanks. So Greenland's area is about 2 million km^2 and the area of all oceans is about 360 million km^2, so the average thickness of the ice on Greenland is roughly 24 feet * 360/2 = 1.3 kilometers. That's an unim

Excellent article! While reading it I got the impression that some of the decisions made by the author were influenced by the limitations of Rust, so I wondered how you'd design a language to be ideally suited to express reactive UI? W

What you fail to realize is that for Assange, it would be a better outcome to go to trial and be judged guilty than innocent. If guilty he ends up in a Swedish prison, if innocent he gets extradited and gets the death penalty in the US. So

PEG/parser combinators + Pratt has many advantages over LR: 1. It's faster 2. It's quite high level, arguably higher level than LR 3. Can more easily support good error messages 4. Can easily escape hatch into the surrounding

I see. Good point, it depends on how you define four velocity and how exactly you interpret "moving through time with the speed of light". I personally think that "we move through time at the speed of light" is a very co

by jules 6y ago
That's because the four velocity is not really a velocity. The path of a particle through spacetime can be described by a function p(r) = (x(r),y(r),z(r),t(r)) that gives the position (x,y,z,t) as a function of a parameter r. This way

by jules 6y ago
What matters is your path through spacetime. The four velocity is just a tangent vector of this path. The magnitude of the tangent vector has no physical meaning, only its direction does.

On what scale is the deactivation done? Products are differentiated by number of cores, but do they deactivate parts on a more fine grained scale?
