Sounds like you're pretty upset about the idea that switching documentation to gender-neutral language is a good change. (What do hobbies have to do with this?)

On the contrary, I think it's great.

Or it's exactly the opposite, depending on how mobile you think companies are.

Someone calculated that one of the LIGO detections (of a black hole merger) would have been audible from about 1 AU away. Of course, you would be fried, too. But it's still interesting.

Is insider trading just a kind of arbitrage too? :-)

You'd have time to notice a storm of some sort was coming, but the actual hail often arrives quite suddenly.

A big part of the question is whether it will still be offgassing enough to produce a bright coma.

Oh, yeah -- if people are trying to use a spoon to stir PB, they've got the wrong tool for sure.

What matters is whether the "workaround" is harming people.

No reason for it to be placebo. Probably any irritant has a good chance of working.

I have such a hard time relating to this. Do I just have an efficient stirring method?

I've never really understood the dark forest thing. Being an intelligent species or not doesn't change whether your planet has useful resources. And if you're a naive species yapping on all frequencies, you're clearly no

Maybe, but I wouldn't pay more than about $50 for such a forgery...

They're a pretty reliable source for used electronics. I go to them every time my favorite out-of-production camera breaks and I want to get another of the same model.

I once tested a watermarking system (Digimarc?) and found that while it was robust against all sorts of noise and scaling, it failed with even a 1% rotation of the image. I wonder if it was a Fourier Transform based algorithm.

Wow. Talk about over-reliance on mechanized, industrial-scale systems...

I mean sure, a post on the topic of correctness bugs in GCs is going to bring out some examples of correctness bugs in GCs. But I haven't encountered any independently.

Interestingly, I've never heard of a correctness bug in a GC, let alone one causing a real-world problem.

Pretty sure we get aurorae because we have a strong magnetic field...

As long as the units are correct and people understand those , I'm not too worried about "energy" vs "power".

I was mostly thinking of how incredibly loud it would be to do all that under a metal roof. Sure hope they've got solid hearing protection.

It's for quality assurance. You take samples of asphalt (in this case), concrete, etc. during construction and they get shipped off for analysis. I don't know what they do with the asphalt, but for concrete they do slump tests of

If you want birds, grow plants that support caterpillars. It takes thousands of caterpillars to raise a nest of baby birds to fledglings. (This is true even for seed-eating birds.) Those caterpillars don't come from thin air.

There's no indication of satire here.

There are plenty of other idiosyncratic people out there who aren't, entirely literally, calling for ethnic cleansing.
