The moon is not that small, it is 27% of earth's size. Any other satellite in the solar system is way smaller compared to the planet they orbit. I dare to say that earth and moon are twin planets instead of a planet and a satellite.

My 4 years old son is mildly autistic. He is doing well, attending a regular school and learning to interact with people. I first suspected he was different because he didn't locked eyes with my wife when she was breastfeeding (I have

Thanks for this piece, it made me recall the joy of spending my afternoons in the library and the vivid dreams I got from science fiction books - I remember reading Verne's "20,000 Leagues under the Sea" as a kid in the 70&#x

tmux is a terminal multiplexer - if you have ever used the `screen` command you already know what it is. I use a macbook pro with iterm2, and I prefer to use a terminal multiplexer instead of tabs or the native screen split of iterm2. If yo

Not GitHub based, but StackOverflow nailed gamification for Q/A - despite the fact that it attracts a lot of hate in HN they managed to build a great resource using a self-moderated community. Far from perfect, but who is doing it bett

I think the answer is "yes" for those willing to use a fork. If your favorite preprocessor is popular I bet someone already made one.

You don't have to use SCSS at all. Just fetch the compiled CSS from a CDN and use your favorite framework to generate another CSS that overrides the defaults. The alternative is to maintain a Bootstrap fork that uses Stylus instead of

Honest question, why not? Are you better than lions? Are you better than sharks? Are you better than the bacteria in your guts? They all are pretty successful. Humans are so arrogant.

Call me a skeptic, but can we trust nutritionists? A few years ago foods like eggs and coffee were poison. You should eat margarine instead of butter, now it is the other way around. This science branch seems to attract charlatans.

And after that, get one bad review and you will be kicked out, no questions. Upwork is a race to the bottom, avoid freelancer marketplaces.

Do you need a real bank account or just a routing number? If you are a freelancer/contractor and just want to receive payments, a routing number may be enough. I have a Payoneer pre-paid card, it gives me an account number US customers

Your brain is wired to seek meaning everywhere. But meaning is a human thing, the universe has no intrinsic meaning. For some people the idea of a purposeless universe is unbearable, so religion and philosophy were created in order to fill

Because a magnetic shield will prevent the solar winds from wiping your atmosphere. Without a spinning core, Earth would be like Mars. Of course you can live in caves instead of trying to terraform Mars, but doesn't sound so fun.

We can calculate things like if the moon is ever going to leave Earth's orbit and we can tell it was much closer to Earth in prehistoric times. We can predict the future and recall the past, just not in a scale that is practical for ou

Simplicity is a core value of the Python community; this kind of change goes through a long discussion before getting implemented, so I wonder how we ended up with such convoluted design (the reasoning is documented in the PEP system but mo
