Basically yes. Angular momentum is conserved so real black holes either receive angular momentum from the stuff they ingest or inherit it from the remnants of the originating star. Not so sure of possible micro black holes.

We know that General Relativity breaks at the singularity which means the maths are wrong there, but to replace GR you have to: 1) solve the BH thingy and 2) be compatible with GR in the other scenarios. GR is not a "hypothesis",

I am also a little bit confused, if you are touting Rails compatibility, how can you be that much faster? Something has to be left. But it's sooo interesting! I would love to see it merged with Rails core like Merb on its day, one ca

I am not sure because, eh, I'm not using lower end devices, but it seems that the most reasonable way would be the browser to check for the capabilities declared by the graphics drivers and then decide if they offer the option of backg

Yes, it's better, but you cannot share a browser tab, only a window or the full desktop. Edit to add that the suggestion of using Orion for everyday browsing and FF or Chrome/EDge for Google Meet is totally reasonable, but somehow

For me the highest stopper is that it does not really work with Google Meet and it is not clear if it is a Webkit bug or not. Apart from that, I could probably use it as a daily driver.

The only alternative to Redsys, which is owned by Spain's main banks, is managed by Cecabank but it's not very relevant, like a 90%-10% market split here.

Spaniard here, I expected to see an infographic basically based around Madrid and Barcelona but it seems that special care has been taken to cover the whole country, kudos to El Diario team.

I got an M2 Pro Mini a couple of weeks ago to replace my 2018 i7 MBP and while it is obviously snappier and you feel it's more powerful without running benchmarks the main difference is that: it is silent. I only got it warm to the to

Very cool, thanks for the info. I did not mean to say that MAME were the first trying to do exact hardware emulation for synths, just that emulating hardware means a higher workload for the computer. As a note, I see that this project has

I guess it's because MAMEis not emulating the software of these devices, it's emulating the whole hardware and then puts the ROMs on top of it. It's like running a synthesizer virtual machine. I understand most commercial vi

A web framework can be conceived as a selection of design choices already taken for you. The choices RoR does for you are extremely successful and very simple to understand, hence the name: you are developing "on rails" and as su

Or, putting it the other way around: they out-competed their competitors because they were using RoR.

I am also baffled by this. It's not like 1Password doesn't have the chops to roll their own SSO in a secure way specially given that resorting to use Okta puts you just on top of their attack surface.
