Think faces. The feature is a nose. The benefit of a nose is that you can smell stuff. The advantage that confers on you is that you don't get sick from eating spoiled meat.

So reading the article, this is the first opportunity we've had to observe a dip in real time. This means that we will be able to capture spectra of the occluding materials and then perhaps be able to figure out what they're made

One place to start could be the debugger. This at least has the advantage of a fixed call stack at any point of inspection rather than a whole cloud of possibilities, making drawing some of those call graphs and flows much easier. I agree,

I like this idea, not least because I've also had it myself. I use Xcode's "Callers" and "Callees" assistant editor all the time but that's a primitive tool compared to your suggestion. > Edit in multip

You might not even need the gas, just rotate them around the center and they're rigid.

Antenna size alone shouldn't make them particularly hard to use in space. While there are forces acting on the antennas from the fields' interactions with deflected particles, it's not like trying to move a square mile array

This is a good idea and it's on my very long nice-to-have list. How are you driving the browser? Some sort of UI testing library? My bank has no API so it'd have to screen scrape. EDIT: Sorry, I can see that it says it right there

I use Python to suck structured data out of our sales CRM's REST API and transform it into a nicely formatted narrative biweekly report in Excel for exec management. Pleasingly, it's reduced the aggregate time the sales team spend

It absolutely isn't. Sense of touch is very important in fretless instruments, but the real kicker is that you have the infallible feedback mechanism of your ears to help you fine tune pitch by rolling and bending your fingers. It does

I've heard really good things about your latest project. That must've involved a lot of long days.

This isn't really true. Your sense of proprioception is engaged with physical buttons yet bypassed entirely with touchscreens. You can walk down the street typing without looking at the screen if you have a real physical keyboard. Memo

Fair, and 'opprobrium' was a bit heavy. I don't think there is a one sentence description. It's a very, very rich book - a rare thing, with no easy summary possible. I have no philosophy training so I'm not qualifie

The book is a monument of literature. Its title is the genesis of your buzzy cliché, not a lazy user of it. It deserves none of that opprobrium from someone who hasn't read it.

It's still denied boarding, and would be so until the doors were closed, so he wasn't technically boarded at the time he was removed. (And they can remove you for all sorts of reasons even after you've boarded.) United behave

Yes, and it'll wear out the steering gear as well. Best bet is to jack the car up a couple inches at the front and chock the back wheels.

I live in NY but just to be clear this wasn't a DUI - I don't drink and drive! My ticket was for crossing a double yellow line, the offense in NY is called "Disobeying a Traffic Control Device". The town prosecutor was h

So not NATted IP? Not sure I understand how a typo in the IP could point to someone at the same residence. And without excusing police conduct or eliding his real distress, I'd also point out that his life was perhaps also ruined by ha

Ok thanks, and interesting. Understood re tickets written. (I don't think it alters your point at all because you're still talking about constrained resources and a need to prioritize, but in traffic court in my village the PD is

Aha that last point might explain the recent plea bargain I had: a ticket for crossing a double yellow line (points, substantial fine) and I was offered a small fine and no points if I took a seatbelt violation. So did everyone else in cour

Also there's some potential for damage to electronic components like the ECU by connecting terminals in the wrong order (i.e. not +ves first). And sparking. Lots of chance of that, more than jump leads which (unless you're incompe

An electronic payments system-based vending machine is risker (where the risk is to your ability as a consumer to get a coke on demand) than the current model (coin operated vending machine) since it depends on connectivity to the payments
