I don't have particularly strong feelings about this, but I like having the current working directory listed just so that I can see what it was was when any older commands were executed at a glance.

I think asking why something is a joke, or why someone could possibly find a dumb thing funny is pretty similar to asking people to justify why they enjoy some type of art. I don't get the appeal of abstract expressionism and I feel li

The point of that article wasn't that touching things in air isn't as good as touching buttons, it was that hands offer a huge range of interaction and sensory experiences, and yet we keep focusing on interfaces that totally ignor

Those are all reasons for not manufacturing fuel in orbit, but the person I was replying to was talking about processing materials from other planets. I get the desire of Mars-as-a-gas-station/space-oil-field, but don't see a bene

If reduced gravity is the goal, then what would be the advantage of doing things on Mars versus in orbit, or just on the Moon?

Restating some of what I said in an earlier[1] my point is that the article never should have been written, even by a non-scientist, because there are a ton of red flags. Making an extraordinary claim alone (like finding an explanation for

I don't think bringing up someone's past behavior is at all irrelevant or a cheap tactic. The main issue I had wasn't that there is a paper that has holes in it, but that the sites that have been covering it clearly didn&#x27

A friend of mine mentioned the paper referenced in the article as as being super sketchy, and another astronomer said that it appeared to be a story constructed entirely of red flags. I'll summarize as best I can: * The journal the aut

Note to be careful with the grinding media too, as you really don't want sparking in a chamber filled with aluminum powder.

I can't really pick between the equation giving the Hamiltonian of a system, or the Euler-Lagrange equation. I'll go with the latter, because I learned it first. Learning about these in my classical mechanics course suddenly made

I think around React 0.14, they announced that React's support for es6 class syntax wouldn't support mixins, and you'd only be able to get them by using the old .createClass method. I think they pointed out that they didn&#x2

Just a small point, but React has always had higher order components as long as I've been using it because they're just a subset of higher order functions. It's more of a feature of JavaScript than it is of React. Also, I&#x2
