I wonder if there is an open WiFi access point in the vicinity. I noticed that I had several coworkers suggested as friends shortly after I connected my phone to the office WiFi. It makes sense that people using the same access point or con

For non-browser content it would be hard to beat Calibre for ebook creation. If you can get the content out of email and into the file system you could even script the Calibre conversion.

So no Hershey's chocolate? No Coca-Cola? No Kellogg's cereals? No milk? Unless you're eating cheeseburgers for every meal I think it would almost be harder to avoid all kosher foods than to keep kosher.

This reminds me of the 1922 article Why I Quit Being So Accommodating [1] with previous HN discussion [2]. [1] https://mikecanex.wordpress.com/2012/12/26/1922-why-i-quit-b... [2] https://news.ycomb

Even if they didn't otherwise use metric, it would make sense for them to use it here since the ultimate goal was to have the metric-using citizens of Axis-occupied countries carry out the sabotage.

You don't even have to skew the results, you can impart bias just by choosing which stories to research. I've always liked the way Howard Zinn put it in the afterword to A People's History of the United States : >But ther

Things like this, or the advantages of Arabic numerals instead of Roman, make me wonder what sort of mathematical insights we're missing out on today due to our current notation.

Nobody is prevented from using anything. Can you not talk about gluons (or apples, or atoms, or whatever) just because the word has been overloaded with the name of a business?

U.S. law forbids doing business with designated terrorist groups. If Gaza Office Supply provided the paper used to print Hamas propaganda, they'd be on the hook, too.

It's covered in the article; the city had no idea and welcomes geologists to inform them of any significant sites in the future.

I'm disappointed that "No" and "I stopped using Rust" were merged into one answer for the "Do you use Rust?" question. Knowing the reasons people have never used Rust compared to the reasons people have us

Some kind of casual low-impact sport (or at least low-bad-arm-impact), like pick-up soccer or disc golf. That way you'd still be getting the movement and coordination practice that you don't necessarily get from running. Also bicy

Poor phrasing and math-before-coffee on my part. The point I was going for is that e^(i x ) has real values for each multiple of π. That is mathematically interesting, and is obscured if you use τ instead.

Mixing units caused the loss. All-imperial would have worked just as well as all-metric.

Writing it equal to 0 isn't a hack, it's a common method of understanding a function. You factor polynomials by setting them equal to 0, for example. In the case of Euler's identity, what we're really asking is "wha

It's been years since I've used it, but I think cntlm can do this. Point your Scrapy code at the cntlm instance, and it should handle all of the NTLM headers for you.

I had a Samsung i760 [1] before iOS/Android took over, and it was the perfect combination of phone and smart device. When you needed a phone you could dial or answer without looking, but when you needed a smart device it did that, too.

You could build that feature dynamically. When a user tries to use a disallowed word and then uses an allowed word, you could log that word pair. Combine and anonymize those logs and you'd be able to show the most likely replacement wo

Especially interesting when you consider that the founders thought 1:30,000 was an appropriate ratio. This was the only issue of the Constitutional Convention where Washington expressed an opinion (lowering it from 1:40,000).
