No, only references to the repositories themselves are. The total Specs repo is only 300 megabyte, which comes to about 18 kilobyte per package on average. It's still absolutely ludicrous to use git for it, or worse, to bother github w

`push` decrements the stack pointer on x86 architecture, unlike on ARM. The stack is strange in that it grows downwards. That is also why in the disassembly of the `blah` function the argument is temporarily stored in `ebp - 4` as ebp poi

That really surprises me. I've never found mathematical notation to be anything than very useful and terse. Can you make it any more clear what bothers you? It has always been very clear for me, and I'm not sure what could be impr

236 is a massieve sample size and it is more than sufficient for showing an effect here. The p-values are below 0.001, and while p-values aren't everything, it's a strong indicator that the result is statistically significant.

Interestingly, RKV's travel at speeds that are apparently faster than light, because they immediately follow the light they emit. If an RKV was launched towards us from Sirius at 99% of the speed of light, the news of that launch would

I have always liked the noisy-channel model of language. It appeals to me because I think of the human as an extremely good pattern recognition "device". In my opinion, it gives a satisfying explanation as to why many languages (a

Who cares if it has a "logical error", whatever that even means, if you understand. And I know you understand it. Millions of people use this idiom completely intuitively, following their instincts of language that I, as someone w

Of course the prisoner doesn't, society does, but that's just being pedantic, nobody's arguing that! The point is that a society that forces a diet on a prisoner , which that prisoner finds immoral, is wrong.

And you're wrong. Food quality is a small piece of the big puzzle of how prisoners are treated, which obviously affects how they will reintegrate in society, which is something that recidivism rates measure. Prisons should not be about

If the least common multiple of two elements is high, the rhythm would have a very long period, which doesn't sound very well. Three elements of periods 16,9 and 7 would have a period of 1008 steps, which at a tempo of 100 would take 1

That's actually a common misconception. There's no proof the proportions of Parthenon especially exhibit the golden ratio, neither do the proportions of the human body. Not to mention that there are so many body parts to compare t

Are you sure what you've read is "completely contrary to reality"? I don't know how the situation is where you live, but the Belgian media has repeated some half-truths or even outright lies. I've been reading up on

There's an immense amount of qualities not indicated in IPA, like aspiration (difference between the p's in pin and spin), vowel length (fit and feet), palatalization (the difference between the n's in nine and new), all of w

I'm sorry, I have very little experience with web design, but is this the supposed way to create a triangle? It seems weird there would be no way to build shapes with primitives.

Language is fluid, and besides, it makes sense to add the 's possessive marker to it. It's the way it used to be written.

You're kidding if you think those are even of remotely comparable level of difficulty. I've fixed many small electronic or mechanical devices by just opening them up and looking at them. It's a lack of critical thinking and p

Of course it's not a monopole, but the dipole idea is also too simplistic, as is the idea of "poles". Presumably, the dipole moment of the Sun has become very small but there are still higher orders at work. Thus, the field o

Despicable. I'm still appalled at how hysterical the reaction is to this incredibly minor threat. Talking to a chatbot, it doesn't get more victimless a crime. This is just plain entrapment for a harmless thoughtcrime. I once read

It's terrible advice, just like that "Don't do cryptography" from some time ago. It just seems like people are trying to be too clever. I admit I learned something, but the tone of the article could be better.
