I also don't see how they disprove the contribution of gravity. Remember that Earth is composed of fifty Titan-sized bodies. Titan, and probably Uranus and Neptune, probably have their methane etc. as a result of outgassing - initial

It's backwards. Highly eccentric orbits are the default; near-circular orbits are the inevitable result of averaging out a large number of orbits after they collide. It's also ignoring the fact that we likely did have additional

Given that we're well into a post-scarcity society by now? That's the only sensible thing unless we're choosing gratuitous cruelty.

They kind of aren't. If you actually look at "how many dollars am I spending per month on electricity", there's a good chance it's not worth upgrading even if your computer is 10 years old. Of course this does make

Citation fucking needed. You can't just claim any difference between people must be racism - if anything, that's a racist attitude to assume that in the first place, in fact. I (and who knows how many a kid) was bored out of my

People absolutely will vote against someone because who's running on a platform of anti-intellectualism. Whether Democrats will vote for someone because of anti-intellectualism is an open question, but it worked for Republicans, so

At this age it's probably not even about "want to learn" or "bad behavior" but "is capable of reading fluently" vs "can't read at all". Clearly there's a middle ground, but that doesn&#

The problem with þ is that it dates from a time when /ð/ vs /θ/ were allophones. That is, none of the minimal pairs I listed above existed (mostly due to more words having additional syllables - often, inflections at the

I've played around with respelling quite a bit; one of the most difficult adaptations is forcing yourself to correctly use "dh" (few-but-common words, "thy", "either", "teethe") vs "th"

Yogh is indeed strange. Wynn is the most irritating loss though; couldn't we have at least kept the name rather than "double-yoo"?

Some candidates include: sensory processing (including keen senses, overload, and undersensitivity - sometimes different for each sense!), trauma when unplanned/unexpected actions or lies occur (part of "patterns/routines&quo

I disagree. The problem is that the Aspergers-vs-Autism distinction was largely "looks normal at first glance" vs "doesn't", which is almost entirely unrelated to the many axes of actual symptoms. An glaringly incor

As someone mostly familiar with non-web UIs - isn't the real question "why aren't you using MVC instead of a big lump of spaghetti?"

If you squint hard enough, that's also what `git` does at the file level, when it detects renames even if the file changed.

There are at least 3 fundamentally different kinds of diff: * Single-dimensional. Diffs of text lines are just this. * Multi-dimensional. Diffs of words or characters are usually going to be this since lines still matter, but there are mu

Frankly, I find that anything more than some preparatory `exec {my_fd}< <(commands ...)` is an unmaintainable mess, so bash is plenty for any program that should be implemented in bash.

And they almost always 'forget' to mention "that was in 2010" or "I was using the BTRFS feature marked 'do not use, unstable'". It's really difficult to get a real feel for BTRFS when people deli

Or the numerous syscall breakages (2.4 to 2.6 was most notable, but there have been plenty before/since). Or all sorts of things in /proc/ and /sys/. And the sheer nastiness of PPID 0. And ...

There are at least 3 completely distinct actions at stake here, and we should not pretend they are the same: 1. Taking pictures/videos for personal use. 2. Taking pictures/videos for internet fame/money. 3. Taking pictures&#x

Really, the oddity is that Microsoft thinks there's a significant difference between in-process communication and cross-process communication. They're all running on the same physical memory and the kernel can share access to that

Literally any open-source forum or wiki meets all the requirements except possibly "federated" (depending on whether people set up a dump->restore to another machine), but is much more welcoming to ad-hoc contributors who d

Obviously it depends on how many live variables there are at any point. A lot of nasty loops have relatively few non-memory operands involved, especially without inlining (though even without inlining, the ability to control ABI-mandated sp

Sorry, I don't remember any details, just the pain of trying to update forks (and I was only peripherally involved in the ecosystem then, and not at all now).

I have never observably damaged a laptop in a bag, but I absolutely have had them burning-hot-to-the-touch after they decided not to sleep properly.
