   Well, I much more like the question: Should authors pay for their publications? There is a common pun: As a scientist, you pay two times for an article: The one time you publish, and the other time when you subscribe to read your published

   I think the refer to the concept of regular black holes . It is a concept where the BH has two horizons, and within the inner one the metric is no more Schwarzschild-like but something more "regular" or Minkowskian again. This mo

   My closest encounter with LISP was a long project with Wolfram Mathematica. Can you elaborate which tooling and set of "standard libraries" you use? I'm doing day to day work in Python ("batteries included") and rea

   I think the author proposes geometric algebra for widespread use in teaching fundamental physics. That's a good idea, it unifies a lot of things and brings new insights! Hestens seems to be quite popular with his opinion, see for insta

   I have a ThinkPad X1 Yoga since five years (gen1, 2016-19, gen2 since last year) and it is silent 99% of the time. You have to run with full load several minutes for turning up the fan. This is especially valid for the aluminium ThinkPad. R

   Interesting compilation. I haven't heard of most of them. Honestly, I think a Python interpreter on mobile is orders of magnitude less bloat then Electron on the desktop ;-)

   It is quite fascinating how electricity is a fundamental part of life. For instance, the respiratory chain is all about pumping electrons. And electric communication is one of the major ways how neurons in the brain and nervous system commu

    Wow, this is amazing tech. Unfortunately the announced browser app is not yet released.

    Also keep in mind that localization (gettext) relies on run-time evaluation of the string argument. That's where % and .format shine, but f strings don't. Cf. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49797658/

    It really matters on time and location. I've been going on two way lanes in the night where the average speed on the left lane was 180km/h and on the right lane probably 120km/h. This is probably the most secure and comfortab

    This is amazing. Jupyter is already a great tool for data science and being able to directly interact with SQL (without a host/intermediate language) is great, because it is very clean and SQL is a powerful language on its own – no nee

    I'm regularly doing 300km one way on German Autobahn's. I did it with peak 130km/h in the past but now do peak 190km/h. It doubles the fuel consumption but feels to save me the trip down from 3:30 hours to 2:30. That&#x2

    Interesting article. Here's a point of critique: I think highways and motorways are still commons –– At least in countries where their maintenance is paid by state money, ie. where they are not private roads. This is the classical arg

    There is a famous quote assigned to Goethe in German, which roughly says »A fool can ask more questions then 7 wise men can answer«. The internet just increased the visibility of fools. Let's ensure wise men don't stop to share th

    This style of documentation is called literate programming , and you should go and google about this term and the various implementations for various widespread programming languages if you never heard of this before. It's an eye-open

    Amazing device! I love the ESP32 (and derived boards/chips), it is a breeze to develop codes with Arduino. I'd love to hear more about the battery life of this device: > Combined with the e-ink, M5Paper can last ages on a singl

    DNS Round robin is as standard practice. Just "dig google.com" in your terminal and your DNS provider will certainly spit out multiple IPs. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/r

    In your case either use plain /sbin/su: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/su.1.html or login via root. Your use case sounds very sudo-like, thought. Probably stick to sudo.

    That's interesting how tipping is made a "verbose gesture" in this article. Tipping is a cultural thing – while in US, 20% tips are standard, in Germany (Europe?) from my experience it's more like 10% to be standard. Als

    I think some modular approach could have solved the incompatiblity issue, such as "from future import ...". Shorthands could have been invented to define everything in a single line. Perl5 has similar flags ("use strict"

    I guess you assume to build one timeflake per ms for one year. That's about 3e13 timeflakes. Ordinary UUIDs have a collisions at the order of 1e18 hashes (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identi
