Could this be in any way related to the strobing effects (and afterimages / discrete tracers) of LSD and other psychedelics? (see also http://psychedelic-information-theory.com/The-Control-Interr... - not sure how much

You're kidding right? https://i.imgur.com/GapKBh1.png And I know from experience living in that area that Google Maps is lacking a great many of the local kebab shops.

"generally absolutely ridiculous" Did you look at the map? It's nearly all things with a place name in the product name. For example, "Welsh Beef". Why is it reasonable for a consumer to buy Welsh Beef and for it to

Am I just misremembering, or was there a time where the only way to register a .je was direct through island networks? I used to live there, and recall the domains always being a bit of a pain.

Isn't this more of an argument that we shouldn't necessarily treat everything we observe, rather than that we should observe less? I get that screening may not be worth the cost, but if the screening is effectively free... then it

In the UK, debit cards can chargeback. While this is currently implemented over MasterCard/Visa network, it's the bank that performs it and there's no reason to expect that would change if something replaced the plastic. Some

Although the vast majority of major airports are state owned, some aren't. Notably, most major airports in the UK (including Heathrow and Gatwick) are privately owned and operated.

Is there any reason why these devices can't have a USB-C connector on one side, and a USB-A connector on the other? Being able to keep just one single token around and knowing I can always use it without an adaptor is the holy grail of

Setting up accounts for the first time is a pain here, but most natives do that when they're a child. Once you already have one account, setting up subsequent accounts with other banks is much easier. Personally it has never been a pro

Although I agree with the aims of the project, trying to understand it leads you down a rabbit hole of complexity that ultimately never pays off. Ontology, vocabulary, RDFa, OWL, FOAF, etc. I assume this is a continuation of - or somehow re

We're using Chrome Headless inside Docker to produce thousands of PDF reports from an Angular/D3 web app. It works very well, but there are some gotchas with regard to the Chrome Remoting Interface.

Try looking at the technology used by the software you enjoy using the most. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Granary Square and More London are in areas that don't tend to have that much of the issues you mentioned. Canary Wharf is busy in the week because it's full of skyscrapers. But I live just round the corner from it, and it's

Most large appliances in Europe, even the cheap ones, will have some claim on the packaging like 5-15 year guarantee. However for the cheaper ones, once you try to actually use them beyond the EU 2 year minimum[1], you'll find there&#x

I agree with you, but there doesn't really seem to be any native application that occupies the same space as VS Code or Atom. VSCode is not just a text editor like vim or Notepad++, as some people here imply. As you say, it's a mi

Nope, those figures were after adding up all the processes. What I have noticed in switching between platforms is that applications tend to report a far lower memory usage in Windows than on Linux or OS X. Might just be an accounting differ

In Britain, you commonly use it in that form. For example, we might say "want to do X later?". Perhaps it's just British?

Where is the circular reasoning? There are a fixed number of hours in the day, and I presume that becoming elite at either a mental level or a physical level, for most people, requires focus for the majority of your waking hours. My assumpt

Taken to extremes, though, there is a trade-off. Keeping generally fit is probably within the reach of most nerd-types and helpful for their mental state. However, actually being physically competitive at a high/elite level requires in

I am glad you have found a way to incorporate your children into your lives in this way. And I would hope many parents attempt to do the same thing. When growing up, I cooked from a young age (about 7) simply because both of my parents work

Of course a lot of food innovation has occurred. Clearly, the silent majority are demanding convenience over health. But there is a strongly vocal segment of the population who think it should not have been - and they are very critical, and

Surely that depends on the age of the child, what you're cooking, and the size/accessibility of your kitchen? Personally, I live with a kitchen that can't reasonably fit more than one person, and all the counters are inaccess
