It's pretty hard to avoid any situations where pulling is possible. Such as on leash. You usually have to intensely train working dogs not to pull on leash. They would still fixate on other behaviors they are trained on. And if not

But you can't really have chemistry without working with natural numbers of atoms, measured in moles. Recently they decided to explicitly fix a mole (Avogadro's constant) to be exactly 6.02214076×10^23 which is a natural number. S

I see it like natural sciences strive to do replicable experiments in outside world, while math strives to do replicable experiments in mind. Not everything is transferable from one domain to the other but we keep finding many parallels bet

They were not tested enough for that. From chemical POV the fluorine in halon can even exothermically react with lithium, like teflon can with aluminium. But all depends on circumstances, it needs high temperatures and the lithium concentra

From skimming their website, they had no staff dedicated to finances/accountant. That is indispensable for organization or any size, but also hard to fill position.

Happens with DB constraints all the time, user gets an error and at least his session, if not whole process, crashes. And yes that too is considered bad code that needs fixing.

Not having much knowledge, only IMO issues like solar shingles - material is cheap but requires reliable and work-intensive electrical interconnection. Having accidental short-circuits on the roof/in the walls is no fun.

The solar panel with inverter does not have any inertia so it can survive power spikes more easily, can lower the voltage till it's over. The generator on the other hand has physical rotating parts that could be damaged by sudden torqu

We will always need some oil in near future. And gas is considered a byproduct only because oil is more economically attractive. It is technically perfectly feasible to obtain gas only and leave oil in the ground.

You piqued my curiosity so read it all but did not surprise me. Wondering what do you see in it?

After first page I guessed it's obvious where it goes and stopped reading. The discussion confirmed it. If it was not obvious to anyone, then they needed to read it all perhaps. Not having any big feelings for people who do or don&#x27

I'd widen the scope to demand kids having unmediated, self-managed contact with reality, preferably physical one. Should be encouraged to tinker with everything, computers being only part of it. Not having any such kind of play is the

All kinds of data - block justified text, database files with fixed row size tables, even HTTP chunked encoding tends to have blocks of same size with same delimiters,... I really don't see how better supporting this "second order

Some "natural algorithms" as they call them emerged from busy beavers. And some of them surely will be useful sooner or later, with tangible benefits such as improved databases or graphics or anything really.

There are plenty of data formats where data is interspersed with fixed delimiters in fixed intervals.

I became bit lost between "C is a constant that determines the probability of success" and then they set C between 4 and 8. Probability should be between 0 and 1, how it relates to C?

This might in general be a good preprocessing step to check for punctuation repeating in fixed intervals and remove it, and restore after decompression.

There are so many possibilities. Even without any catalysts, just mix plastics with NaOH+KOH, melt it up and you can get benzene and other advanced chemicals not only syngas. Wonder why such ideas apparently never come to scale.

But if there's local DST change between today and tomorrow? Then naive calculation of "Add 1 day and 3 hours to a date." is wrong.

Well, dinosaurs learned to fly instead. And perhaps they ended in a local maximum that made them survive and thrive but did not allow development of larger brains. Not that humans with their troublesome egos are necessarily anywhere near gl

I'm confused why it's specious? Sounds like "compromised browser stopped being compliant with FIDO spec, hence the exploit does not exist", now that's quite a specious claim.
