Things I am wondering: 1. Is the magnitude of the effect dependent on the angle of incidence? 2. Can the effect be increased by increasing the water surface, e.g. by stirring? 3. totally layman speaking here: is the peak at green somehow ex

Where in the definition of the complex exponential function is π used? IIRC its: the exponential function is defined to be its own derivative (note 1), i is the square root of -1, and exp(ix) is observed to have a period of 2π. There isn&#x

This has happened, and is happening all the time. Many groundbraking theories in physics can be framed this way. The problem is that "slightly different angle" is a huge space, so scientists throw a lot of theories at it and see w

Computing in the actual storage banks seems a bit over-the-top to me, but I always wondered about computing in the "currently open row". It seems like an obvious optimization candidate for fast memset() and memcpy(), by setting th

The words "blame" and "guilt" do not even appear in the article, and "fault" only as part of "segfaulting". Rachel merely points out an easy-to-make mistake before others make them, to save them time.

The complexity in front-end code does not follow from that. User-oriented features are orthogonal to the issues described in the article (those are all developer-oriented), and all the described issues are not new in any way, and handled we

Could you explain this point to me? I just checked and out of those two, it was _Firefox_ that has tiny, barely visible, vanishing scroll bars and _Chrome_ that has thick, well-visible, persistent ones. (And no, I didn't configure that

It introduces _some_ of the failure modes of a distributed system, like unsynchronized / inconsistent data, but not all, like network failures. I think he does have a point there -- as a user, I should not have to care whether an IDE t

Why the downvote? It took me quite some reading before I understood it, given that LSP can refer to multiple things. I, too, thought about the Liskov Substitution Principle first.

He's saying (without saying it) that LSP is another instance of the "microservices everywhere" hype, and bad for the same reasons -- you have a problem, you try to solve it with a distributed system, now you have two problems

You can use your hand in a similar way: Spread your thumb and little finger in opposite directions. That's 20cm, with roughly the same accuracy as measuring a foot with a real foot.

Do you know if this is explained in detail somewhere? Both Wikipedia (English / German) and various websites only repeat that you need an angle "to lift the mold and to avoid stress cracks", but none seems to explain why. (My

IIRC, the precise frequency was further narrowed to _not_ be absorbed as well by water, because then all the energy would hit the surface of your food and not the inside (although I'm still not sure if that is relevant at a wavelength

I was thinking of hobbyists using homegrown ICs "because they can", not just for the final product, in the same way that people build computers purely out of 74-series ICs or discrete transistors. In fact, if the final product is

Something I have been pondering for a while: Is there a demand from hobbyists for custom, low-grade home-grown ICs to such a degree that somebody could make side money from it? Sam Zeloof is now going "all in", but we don't k

My interpretation of this is different: - free space is being used as swap until needed, then transparently released to be used - "free" uniformly means being used this way, unlike "not free" which means it will not be r

But you still bought this one and not one of the alternatives that start faster... which is part of the reason things get built this way.

Thread safety of char[] is the cause of the bug, but the effect is that String instances can violate their invariants, which they shouldn't even in case of thread-unsafe code.
