Even black holes "rotate". Since black holes aren't really normal objects, what we mean by that is that the sum of all the matter that created black hole had an angular momentum. This also affects their behavior. See https:&

If they do, and it turns out that people generally prefer the EU model, other regulators might follow.

I'm a bit confused on the meta level. If it actually works well in practice, why aren't there quite a few memory-safe, single owner-based systems programming languages out there? Is it such a new idea? (The author argues that it&#

I feel similarly frustrated. The basics of CAs, trust chains and certificates are pretty easy to understand once you're roughly aware of public key cryptography. But then you get into the arcane and confusing details of which fields ho

Too bad nobody was ever able to build a practical, concurrent programming language on top of parrot. (Nor any well-performing non-concurrent language, for that matter). And quite a few talented compiler writers tried (I'm thinking of P

You talk to the governing body / regulator so that they talk to reddit and deal with the ignoring and stonewalling.

It would a really good test if they could make a predictive model that, based on brain scans, classifies subjects as German or Arabic native speakers. If that had good classification results, we could be very confident that it's a real

My father used to do engineering work related to power plants, and he came across an actually used word there, "Frischdampfschnellschlussschieber". It roughly translates to "fresh steam fast shutting pusher". It's a

It's also not too complicated to add a few lines of javascript that show the datet/time in the user's local time zone (via Date.getTimezoneOffset) as well.

Ok, that's embarrassing, but good on the for still having real votes, I guess? Here in Germany it's far too common for political parties to decide such things ahead of elections behind closed doors, and then the election is only t

What I'd love to see is a view on the "who's hiring" where I can start by saything something like: * I live in Germany, and want to work remotely. Then it filters out all the onsite jobs as well as the remote US or remot

My advice would be push back the possibly unsolvable problem down the road, and deal with your axienty/paralysis first. If your anxiety/paralysis is specifically tied to the problem, seek help from a mental health professional.

Slightly off topic, but just the other day we had a case where we had an index, and deleting ~100k entries from a table with a few, small columns caused a huge delay. Context: Mariadb 10.2. In this table we stored traffic statistics, aggreg

I'm pretty sure elephants can communicate with each other and coordinate, at least to some degree. As do many social species. For me, a really interesting question is: why did humans evolve to build huge civilizations and spent so much

My impression was that wolfs self-domesticated into dogs as well. The story I heard about wolf domestication was that some wolfs started living nearer to humans, cooperated during hunts, ate their scrap etc. I would consider this self-domes
