If it's a priori known that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission then it means that the penalties for breaking the law are too lenient. How about the "move fast and break things" SV type bros go

Linear-log -> asinh(x) Its linear for small values and log for large. It also has the advantage that it is continuous and smooth. (Obviously asinh is not very useful for allocation) I first thought of it while pondering an amp that would

How about we judge people for what they say and not what we fantasize they meant to say? Judging others based on what we feel they really meant to say is a very dangerous course.

That's a statement of fact that is either true or not. It is not a statement of culpability in anyway. Men are pigs (see that's a fact and an example of a moral judgement), and are almost exclusively to blame for the spread of STD

Question in the title -> No. TL/DR: No, we cant. The retina itself can respond to a single photon, but we are not retinas. Instead, the eye filters out this low light sensitivity lest we go crazy with the resulting visual noise at

Almost none. If you aren't sorting the plastic by type (the number in the package) it probably won't get done and will be routed to a landfill (or river) in Asia. Big corporate consumers of plastic can recycle because they guarant

The problem with plastics (polymers, really) is that if even 1% off collected polymer of type A (say PE) is off type B (say ABS), then their melt wont mix. If the mix doesn't melt you get spinal decomposition, as microstructure that lo

Breaking polymers down is a thing though. Not my area of expertise, but they try to make feedstock organic or of it. Lots of research to make it cheap and better control off the outputs. But I wouldn't expect a crystal clear liquid ou

Don't recycle. If its going to get dumped anyway put your plastic recycling in the garbage. Then it'll end up in a nominally regulated local dump and not in a Vietnamese river. Btw anyone who has even a cursory understanding of

No idea how this thing works but why wouldn't it destroy all "dyes"? It breaks every other bond, why not dye bonds? I'm also curious that the liquid is clear, though, because you'd think this thing creates a soup of

There are centuries of research into inelastic collisions, starting with Newton himself who, instead of resting on the laurels of his three laws, modeled the limiting case for high velocity collisions. Very cute model, btw. Aside from the

Why does ddrescue care about "file systems"? Again, I was under the impression that ddrescue does bit by bit copying that I can then mount (and tell it the "filesystem" required). Is this false? I have also noticed that,
