It's probably the martian dust and not the thickness of the atmosphere that creates the need for protection.

Depart? They just got there, didn't they? And on purpose. There's more memory bandwidth, and also no need to copy from main memory to VRAM. Why would they bail on it?

What are some thoughts about why we're basically seeing a flat ring, rather than a spherical shell of a cloud in all directions?

I feel like I've read this comment before, except the topic was music theory and the focus was on harmony and someone who valued rhythm, texture, and timbre felt left out.

Ah, piping, all about moving something from A to B. Has anyone else read Leslie Claret's classic text "The Structural Dynamics of Flow"? I got the chance to hear him speak, once. It was riveting: "Hey, let me walk you th

The "bring it all home" screenshot shows a CPU Utilization graph, and the units of measurements on the vertical axis appears to be milliseconds. Could someone help me understand what that measurement might be?

I'll give you an example, having used it: if you want to zoom something, it will take effect where the mouse pointer on the screen is.

I’m trying to muster sympathy for someone who tried to make a quick buck putting garbage into the world, but I just can’t get there.

> I'm not really buying that we can interpret degrees of hue differences to identify which ones are consonant/dissonant when the base/reference color is changing. That's definitely not the aim here. There's nothi

No, they're definitely assigning the colors to the pitch class. It's not relative to the tonic of the key. I remember that being a stumbling block for me, because I like things that are independent of key. But, no, a C major tria

The most compelling use of color in music theory that I've encountered is a color scheme where individual notes are given primary colors (yellow, red, blue) like this: C is yellow, C#/Db is red, D is blue, D#/Eb is yellow,...

Sounds like you glossed over the phrase “in other subreddits”, which is the secret sauce. The point of my phrasing was not to suggest that you aim to be uncivil, but to highlight that the above works even for those who do aim to. So, surely

Even those who farm accounts know the simple answer to your question. You have to spend a little time being civil in other subreddits before you reveal the real you. Just takes a few weeks.

"Watch what they do, not what they say" is a useful principle, here. There's no reason to take his attempt to self-label as a centrist at face value, but there's mountains of evidence that he seeks to amplify the right.

Horn players can always outline chords, perhaps with outright arpeggios or by choosing chord tones on downbeats. That said, even if your teacher had armed you with theory its still just comes down to an assload of work. But maybe that might

> there are no subsidies I thought the oil and gas industry famously got about $4B in subsidies per year, and about $20B to fossil fuel industries in general. Has that changed recently?

Yeah, that's a very weird phrase. What "industry" is even alleged to be involved in such a conspiracy? At least with "military-industrial" I'm pretty sure it's referring to weapons system manufacturers, et

Explicitly specifying “Apple” is almost like not specifying “Apple”? Did you “almost” fail to mention Samsung?

There’s nothing bizarre at all about mentioning the recent prominent contagious disease crisis in an article about another rising contagion. It would be kind of weird not to.

The rebranding from Twitter to X, then, has been more successful than anticipated. It should have been X Windows that one mistook the topic for.
