I've been looking through online playlist servers and wondering: Why shouldn't I host something like this as a static website? After looking around and not finding any tool that generates this, I'm considering making it mysel

It should be easy to identify those that are due to curvature, though. My understanding is that states parceled according to the PLSS have fairly consistent township and section divisions, made using a system that takes the earth's cur

I've also dreamed about such a thing, which would open new worlds for performance and composition. I think the technology isn't even remotely close to allowing this, though. The closest I can think of is research that has been don

I think the article doesn't really clarify the reason these bugs exist. After all, is it really a bug? What if I so happen to be working with Chinese Unicode files without BOM that are also valid ASCII files? Then it would seem to me

Sprite strikes again! And never disappoints. I remember first coming across his site as reference for a personal project, which instantly stalled me as I spent hours reading every single article. However... 13 Tamagotchi? We still need the

The article would certainly be less awkward and more interesting if he involved other people than just himself and Einstein. Even if he's exclusively describing the evolution of his own thought and linking to his own articles, each dis

This has been partly done several times with Lua (one by myself). One problem is that JUCE is not a C framework, it relies heavily on C++ features (notably, using it means deriving lots of parent classes and interfaces). This makes language

Emergent structures have the property of being possible to generalize about and simulate to some extent by simpler means than the modeling of their most fundamental components. When this is not the case, it means the large scale result of t

Many studies measure total calories as well as sugar. The study linked above explains the correlation between the two. High sugar provides little satiety, leading to higher total caloric intake because you tend to eat the sugar in additio

I do not know the thresholds at which added sugar becomes detrimental. That limit probably varies wildly with other conditions such as exercise and intake of other nutrients. However, I do know that added sugar is not necessary for a health

30g of carbohydrates a day seems extremely low. The ketogenic diet is not a general-purpose diet, it's a therapeutic diet used to treat specific medical conditions. Also, sugars are only a specific type of carbs, so carbohydrate intake

Who is being "unfair and intellectually dishonest"? The idea is not that 'sugar is bad' or 'sugar is unhealthy', but that sugar is bad and unhealthy as it is being used in our current society . I thought this

I'm seeing a lot of reactions that seem to imply the current situation with added sugar is okay, and that this research can be dismissed as being too specific in terms of sample subjects. Let's be clear, this research is specific,

I'll make sure to ask him next week. I'll throw this whole thread at him and see how he reacts! (And next time I'll think twice before introducing a classic flamewar topic once again...)

You make a good point, but where did I say that I believe that associating philosophy with science is pie-in-the-sky ridiculous? What I did say is that the metaphor is weak without bringing precision to how it should be interpreted, and you

A good friend of mine is a student of philosophy, and I often argue with him about the importance and usefulness of the discipline. His favorite metaphor on the matter goes like this: If each domain of science was a finger, philosophy would

Well, this is one of the rare cases where using Mercator as the default projection is justifiable, since this map is most useful for navigation. An option to switch projections would be very nice, but I can imagine very difficult to impleme

This one is like a culmination of the other two projects. More features and a lot smoother than earth.nullschool.net, I can really see this being useful for navigation. It's also a perfect example of why open source kicks ass, with the

Kind of surprised at how poorly Google handles this (I would have expected at least a correction suggestion)! Heck, it might open the door for an obscure blackhat/phishing technique...

True, except in the rare situation where the question really features a code sample containing some evil homographs. Edit: Oh hey, I actually found one that fits the bill: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14925894&#x2
