There are plenty of reasons not to drink, though. Maybe you're driving. Maybe you're on medication. Maybe if you're a woman you're trying to get pregnant (or already are). Either this "if you don't drink you mu

Interesting. But that would still mean you need to determine the "correct" ratio and adjust the corrective measures to make sure they don't accidentally hypercorrect. Additionally there's still the problem that we'r

Nope. At least not to the same extent as in the 90s. Yes, they often have nerdy hobbies or interests but outside of e.g. free software and Linux, there's a fairly wide representation of the same culture as in the US. I'd argue Rub

The argument I think generally goes like this: Either women and men as groups are fundamentally equal and there are no intrinsic differences between the two groups, neither in the averages nor distribution. In that case women should not nee

Saying NPM is badly designed is a bit simplistic. As much as I prefer yarn over NPM for all kinds of reasons, NPM's problems have more to do with being born out of a solo project that pre-dates most things we take for granted in Node t

I find it hard to pinpoint. 14kHz is pretty clear, 15kHz very faint and 16kHz gets uncomfortable when I turn the volume up but otherwise not really audible. Anything beyond that I only hear the clipping at the start and end with nothing in

That's not high tech. That's literally just a device constantly emitting a high pitched beep. As you grow older, your hearing degrades. Especially if you subject yourself to loud noises or loud music (e.g. almost any live concert)

I was surprised the article didn't mention nutmeg, which is widely used despite its toxicity, so I tried to figure out how their LD50 compares (i.e. how much tonka nut you need to eat to have a 50% chance of death, and how nutmeg stack

I think the syntax in JS actually allows putting them at arbitrary points, e.g. 1_00_0 or 10_00 (both being identical to 1000).

I think you misread the thread you're responding to. The OP used a comma as decimal point, not to as a thousands separator. GP likely meant they know of no English speaking country that uses the comma as decimal point. Your example doe

Nitpick: I'm guessing you mean 10,000% and English isn't your native language. In English the period "." is a decimal separator, not a thousands separator, so 10.000% means 10%. EDIT: Holy cow, at least four downvotes so

I'd disagree. I like some of the Material related changes to Google Maps, for example, others seem like they were only done for consistency's sake with no benefit to Google Maps UX. Also IMO they managed to make YouTube even worse
