I'm going to argue against you. The airline industry does have a culture that encourages even the slightest incidents to be reported, analysed, and protected against in the future. There are multiple youtube channels (Mentour, VAS av

> It says somewhere that there is nothing new under the sun... Ah yes, that's most of Ecclesiastes. Everything is meaningless. King Solomon sometimes comes across as a bit of whinger, but then what do you expect if you're ultra

Not only that. You can use a ground-based fixed station to listen to GPS signals and work out how much they have been affected by the atmosphere. This then gets fed back into the weather prediction models used by many weather forecasting se

The one key rule that you should always follow is to have your water-impermeable layer on the warm side of the insulation. So, I'd recommend against breathable internal insulation, because that will make your solid wall (water-imperm

Many journals now require relevant code to be published. Those journals that don't are likely to be lower impact journals, but also are probably moving towards requiring the relevant code to be published. The reviewers are likely to

My first job out of university, I ended up doing one of those by mistake. My second job after university, I ended up doing another three of those, but at least we confronted the thing head on and deliberately, knowing that we were aiming to

The AAA versions of these are a godsend for my Bose noise cancelling headphones. I tried using NiMH batteries, but the headphones would cut out every time I shook my head or chewed something, because they didn't have a high enough volt

I have never seen a charger that charges in pairs. Every charger I have ever used or seen has charged each cell individually. Charging in pairs is a terrible idea - the chargers should be returned as unsuitable for purpose.

Isn't that basically how Australia was populated?

There's also the example of people who die on their 100th birthday - their mission was to make it to that age.

The difference between weird and eccentric is whether you're poor or wealthy. Eccentric is basically weird but still respectable.

Capital costs maybe. Running costs would be equivalent to running a plain resistive heater element, which I think just about still counts as a modern heat source, given you can wander down to the local shop and buy one. You can beat it with

No, precision is true positive / (true positive + false positive). Your first equation is sensitivity.

by mnw21cam 5y ago
No, the article isn't talking about sensitivity. We don't actually know what the sensitivity is from the data the article gives us. We are told that lots of people were screened and a small number had a positive result, of which a

Not completely. Light pollution travels further than noise pollution.

It also varies. I live in a small village, and it's usually quite quiet, minus when a train goes past (railway is about half a mile away) or the bus goes past (bus route about 30 metres away). But on the very rare occasions when we get

Calling it "doctored" is perhaps a stretch. Hubble (and many earth-bound astronomers) take images of emission nebulae with narrowband filters covering some of the emission lines that are important and particularly strong. The typi

L2 is further from the Sun than the Earth is, so no Hubble wouldn't be pointing at the Sun if it is looking at JWST.

They're typically only used in situations where you actually do need to stop in order to adequately see what's coming. In the last city I lived in, there was one single stop sign, and we used to say that it was there just so that

I have a folding dining table from ikea. It's %&(*! heavy, surprisingly so for a small table, and is solid wood. It has already lasted 15 years and I can see it lasting another 100. Agreed, ikea sells some flimsy stuff, but they al

The definition of trust that security professionals use is that A trusts B if B has some way to do something bad to A. A can stop trusting B by taking steps to eliminate the ability of B to harm A. So, the statement "Microsoft Edge run

I would note that GPS is much more fragile than WiFi/Bluetooth/GSM. The GPS signals are already incredibly weak at the receiver.

I'll concede on the hot cache suggestion. Storing the files lexicographically is an interesting thing - it means that grep/find (or anything else that reads through the files/directories in order) would perform well. But this
