A product which needs help beyond its own merits to make a sale likely doesn't meet most people's definition of quality. Genuinely fantastic products spread like wildfire on their own, without paid promotion. I'd love to live

Is it possible to do that and also retain a meaningfulness?

"Blast radius" seems... apt. It would be rather easier to understand and explain if it were intentional. Likely not able to be discussed though. Anyone able to do that here?

Oddly enough, you also just did that, for me. I did not realise that which happened to you also happened to me, until I saw you thanking this fellow, for same. (And "bullied goo" what a great concept. Please, write a book!)

Exactly - and when you remove the assumptions, what's left? Pi is assumed to be infinite, random, and normal. The point here is not these assumptions may be wrong. Underneath them may sit a greater point; that irrationality is defined

Yes and that contradiction is already present in my premise which is the point. Pi, if an infinite stream of digits and with the prime characteristic it is normal/random, will, at some point include itself, by chance. Unless, not rando

Infinity has entered the chat.

Isn't there a non-zero chance that given an infinite number of digits, the probability of finding repeats of pi, each a bit longer, increases until a perfect, endless repeat of pi will eventually be found thus nullifying pi's own

Maybe they'd have gone more times, more safely, or more quickly if they hadn't been befuddled by having to deal constantly with archaic and nonsensical imperial units?

Not really. It's important for introduced language to sound appealing and appropriate for its use, or it will fail to catch on. If Apple has called the iPhone the gibiFon it'd have been far less likely to turn into the success it

I've seen estimates as low as 6 and as high as 36. Given deaths attributable to the protests is an extremely contentious issue, with significant sociopolitical implications, a bias in numbers reported is a given, as chaotic environment

"Firey but peaceful" were the immortal words uttered by on-location CNN anchor Don Lemon before being hit by a bottle, as arson raged behind him and dozens of people were killed. Conversely, one protestor who was unarmed was kille

Perhaps one day, we can return to the days when a KB was a KB and a MB was a MB. Those grand old days, when we all accepted kilo and mega stretch a little more for computers. Because in binary, base10 metric is a wee bit of a shoehorn. Just

Thanks all, your responses have been incredibly helpful. In summary (besides the layout-specific stuff which was great) - between the MDN documentation for learning and reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do

Where is the best place to find up-to-date information on stuff like layouts, and how to manage crossbrowser/accessibility etc? It's a minefield when trying to self-learn these things as it's hard to tell when info is wrong o

The ideal solution is for the astronauts to drink their own urine. Apparently this can be quite healthy - in moderation like occasional spacewalking, and it's not as if astronauts in general aren't used to all manner extreme limit

And where do we go to find out about these things? Is there a discussion space or something?

This self-contradicts. Covering up a scandal could well be strategic, and serve to control and steer collective conversation.

That's a very cool idea, with the caveat that if an attacker knew you were doing that, the search space for your key would shrink.
