To be fair, I suspect "coding related searches" are easy for any search engine, given 1. the immense online/open-source nature of the profession: every blog/forum question and answer/documentation since the origin o

This point is explicitly discussed in TFA. Kind of bad faith to criticize an article so harshly that you didn't even bother to skim...

In metro systems all over France I find the screech to be almost painful. Can anyone with more experience chip in on how say Paris compares to New York in this regard?

It's a bit of a double-edged sword, no? In many contexts, having identity tied to your online profile should make people act more like humans and less like they're role-playing their anonymous internet troll persona.

"rewrite" obviously implies a much larger change, in my opinion. After passing a constitutional amendment, would it not be misleading to declare "The US rewrites the constitution" ? If a 2nd edition of a novel includes a

Being in a relationship with a English/French language divide, DeepL was a total game-changer. I can't attest to its abilities in other languages, but it is obviously superior to google translate on correctness and "natural&

A reasonable strategy for me is: 1. Trawl through a resource like this when I come across them 2. If one looks interesting, do a quick google search of "[sub-category] recommended texts for [my-level] level" 3. Buy or Pirate the

I think the implication is that there is always a block for government over-reach and waiting for a convenient excuse to execute it. Just as the implication isn't that the PATRIOT act authors did 9/11, they certainly took the mome

Can't we at least mostly agree that mistreatment of workers is clearly a more tangible bad offense than most of those?

From personal experience, a small college town can support exactly this kind of atmosphere. Someplace with a healthy mixture of faculty, students and "townies". The one I frequented almost every day of my master's, it had

Is it really the best comparison to use Stockholm vs. New York state instead of Stockholm vs New York city? A city-city comparison seems more logical, no? In the latter comparison, we have NYC 2x as dense as Stockholm with a much larger p

As far as I am aware, intelligence is not the variable we care about with respect to ethical experimentation. Rather, consciousness. All humans are assumed equally conscious, while clearly not equally intelligent. Similarly, we understand

6L is about 2200 calories worth of sugar if you're drinking Schweppes, so it might cause other complications :)

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative in this same genre of tablets? That is, E-ink with stylus, but more in the price range of say <= $250? $500 is just a bit steep...

Damn, are caffeine and coffee associated with bad gut health? Is that anecdotal, or do you know of any research?

I think in mathematics and programming, you often are working with an abstract idea or algorithm, projected onto the tools you are using. Be that the syntax/style/limitations of a specific language, or a branch of mathematics. In

>ITER will hopefully hit 10. As a layman, is it right to think that this would mean viable fusion has arrived at that point? I mean, 10x energy out/in is a victory, no? Is there another factor that stops ITER from being immediatel

He also didn't define eigenvalue in the theorem statement, but you don't seem to be criticizing that as bad style. Part of the art of mathematical exposition is to walk the line between under and over explaining your process based

Al Capone had dozens of people killed. Surely you realize the absurdity in comparing the professional legacy of these two people.

I can't speak from any experience outside Romance languages, but English verb conjugation is significantly simpler, along with a lack of gendering of nouns. Those two points alone go a long way.

Am I misreading the gp's cited chart? According to that, it seems like hydrogen is only a factor of around 4x worse in terms of volumetric energy density, and is better than petrol in weight density.

I saw that too! What a brilliant idea, given that extremely technical articles tend to have inconsistent/incomplete coverage, and could benefit greatly from this kind of initiative.

If you come from a non-technical background, where many physical discoveries of varying difficulty all seem impossible, it's an obviously misleading headline.

I don't think anyone was really reporting on it notably until a big NYT[0] article a few weeks ago. [0] https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/06/health/drug-resistant-can...
