It’s a lot, but not a crazy amount. Chemistry scales combinatorically, so if you find a single nitrogen to put a little e.g. acidic group on you’ve got yourself a couple of hundred possible substituents, many of which may have a similar eff

Reminds me of how most physics books with »modern« in their titles are from the 60s.

It's a flawed psychological argument though, because it hinges on accepting that 0.333...=1/3, for which the proof is the same as for 0.999...=1. People have less of a problem with 1/3 so they gloss over this - for some reaso

It didn't say it's in high demand, and compared to the other solver robot you can buy (from Gan, probably the only one available) - 100-ish € - it'll certainly be cheaper. I have a feeling though that this isn't about so

It’s a computer game thing most commonly known for Zero Punctuation, a review format. It sets itself apart by no punctuation and no pictures of the game being reviewed. Here’s Elden Ring: https://youtu.be/BW_h1zD2luY

I know clubs that simply have nothing worth filming inside. Nice atmosphere, not a lot of light, and the camera sticker as the cherry on top.

Those places very much still exist. I've been to plenty this year. They are just not very well represented on social media, surprise.

They don’t scale well though. In bigger bases items are measured in train loads, and bots can’t keep up in terms of throughput or power consumption. Building a tiny bot-only cell is still fun though!

There was a time before cliffs, and the game was fine. IIRC cliffs were also meant to give the explosive tree at least some non-warfare utility. They can be cool in the beginning, while later on they’re a chore in my experience.

I think the »literally unplayable« meme is from Factorio, or was made popular by it. Bug reports on Reddit ever since I bought it were on the level of »when the player is facing north, the shadow’s animation is slightly off«. I can’t think

Here’s hoping for a streamlined version of Space Exploration that scratches the right itch of expanding beyond Nauvis with new tech, but that doesn’t not value my time. Watching Dosh Doshington’s 3-part series of a SE playthrough is all I’l

My mods are mostly QoL, and I’ve played hundreds of hours (well, didn’t count, bought it in version 0.14 years ago). It’s a sandbox that made me read papers on telecommunication routing for optimizing my splitters (Clos networks). You need

Unless it's not. I'm sure lots of mathematicians have open bets about that. I still remember my supervisor hoping for no Higgs "because then physics will be boring for the foreseeable future".

I still remember when they promised E2E encryption when they had at least a MITM on their end. They have since deleted their (whole!) blog where the whole bullshit non-apology was posted. Zoom’s comments or promises are completely worthless

To add to the other comment mentioning the cosmic microwave background, consider that thermometers measure _their own_ temperature, not the one of their surroundings. This nitpick is actually important here, because it explains how temperat

As someone who has built a CNC machine by hand and programs it with Haskell I would disagree. (I’ve built lots of other systems, this one is just a very neat showcase of something particularly un-academic.)

I have to agree that the difference is very subtle, a bit akin to as if "a -> b -> c" is not "a -> (b -> c)". On the other hand, this difference rarely matters, except in memo cases, where it can be used for

> If a function has type declaration `f :: A -> B -> C` you would expect that its body only gets evaluated when two arguments are actually supplied. That’s not correct, regardless of η expansion. The core of the issue is that this

A similar source has told me that it’s not a waste at all in a music/dancing setting either. I would say it’s great if you want to get to and not away from somewhere.

I mean it's water soluble and you can get syringes and medicinal NaCl solution in a pharmacy just fine, so if you really want to go down that road it's no problem. Just begs the question why anyone would do that.
