I forget where I read it but I thought that the visible spectrum likely developed because it can penetrate water and that was where the first life began. Any later development of depth perception would seemingly be a tangential thing and no

As an American I agree with your assessment. When I first saw LibreOffice I first thought it was a take on the comedy movie Nacho Libre. And I studied French, so you'd think that would help but not really. Though the French pronunciati

Unlikely, it wouldn't be much of a launch pad if it couldn't handle failure modes for rockets (aka bombs with a hole in one end). Compare to this Saturn V launch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKtVpvzUF1Y

Gymnasts as well have similar size limitations in some cases. I know my one friend growing up was pretty much devastated when she grew to 5'8" (~170cm if my head conversion is close) She said that being too tall made the balance b

On top of this, chrome/chromium versus safari is another 1-2 hours of battery. I think people vastly underestimate the energy requirements of web technologies.

Fun fact though, a lot of Black english originates from Scotland and Ireland linguistically. It isn't simpler, its preserving traits of English dialects not normally heard in America. It has a lot of linguistic traits of those dialects

That may be so, but: A snapshots lets you freeze the state of a file system Doesn't really read well. A snapshots as a construction in English even in context really grated as I read it.

This sentence has a plural snapshots where singular makes more sense: APFS brings a much-desired file system feature: snapshots. A snapshots lets you freeze the state of a file system at a particular moment and continue to use and modify th

How do you reduce javascripts cpu use below something like c/c++? Before you go off on "lock in", note that native apps have a distinct advantage over any web app using javascript. I hate having 20% cpu use for a stupid chat

The default.nix thing is nothing like what home-brew has. Not really kidding here, nix is like git is to svn. Very different in philosophy. I can setup scripts that install and configure things for emacs to make sure it always runs in an en
