I dunno, I would suspect that fish would exhibit patterns when averaged over a long enough period. They probably patrol the perimeter regularly, check the same spots for food every few hours, some are territorial and will patrol their spot.

Don't use Go, use C#. The same code is even more terse: List<T> lst = new(); lst.Add(obj); Done. Sure go is nice if you only care about being hip and trendy, but C# is better in more situations than you'd think. Why bother w

The behavior of one person over a single lifetime really has nothing at all to do with the behavior of humans as a species over the span of millennia. Over the course of our history as a species, people have roughly always had the same driv

Books are not at all special. Only a very small fraction of writings from antiquity are still available to us. Some exist only as lumps of carbon in the Herculaneum papyri and haven't been seen by humans in a thousand years. Overall, m

The regulation of any individual process in the body is a rube goldbergian nightmare of hormones and neurotransmitters and things that just happen to fire under the right conditions. I have absolutely no doubt that something in the body

WinForms is still probably my favorite UI framework. It's absolutely a blunt tool but by god can you swing it around. Incredibly flexible, reasonably easy to use, pretty fast, and ugly as all hell. Hell, you can even throw arbitrary Ob

Well, yes but. Mechanisms like this can be extremely difficult to design. You have to go through many iterations to tune the performance and ensure it's reliable over a vast range of conditions. Then you have to do it all over again to

They're hoping a large fraction of people won't bother with the RMA process and will just shut up and go away. Unfortunately for Intel, "away" here means "to buy an AMD processor"

What you're talking about, roughly, is called beamforming. Pretty much all modern high-speed radio communication works this way. Essentially, by transmitting your signals through multiple antenna, you can create interference patterns w

What the hell is going on at ST? Every STM uC I've tried to use in the past few years has had showstopper bugs with loads of very similar complaints online dating back to the release of the part. Bugs that have been in the wild for ye

Chemistry happens in the electron cloud surrounding the atoms. Specifically the orbitals. While there may be some electrons in and around a neutron star, they are not organized into orbitals. By definition, a neutron star cannot undergo che

You pretty much can't hide a transmitter. If you're broadcasting with illegal power levels, it's pretty trivial to walk around with a directional antenna and triangulate the source transmitter. If you're curious, look up

If that's the case, everyone in postwar Germany or modern Zimbabwe should be the wealthiest people to ever exist and therefore have the highest quality of life. There's a lot more to it than how many beans you have in the bank.
