   I think we could go a long way in increasing the efficiency of the design. A quick search shows a record holder with 14,573 miles per gallon. All electric seems like more of a possibility if we drastically altered the current designs. It

   iirc emacs implements a generic 'unexec' function which serializes the current process state so it can be reloaded later. Seems like you could use it to make snapshots.

   Yeah crotch rockets are another level all together. When they open up the throttle on the freeway near my house I can hear them still going at least 2km away!

   We make it illegal to eat or use cell phones while driving because distracted driving is dangerous, yet it's ok to rattle everyone's windows with your Harley. Even if somehow it is 'safer' for the biker it's definit

   This reminds me of an article [1] I read a long time ago on erowid about people using gout medication to turn cannabis seeds into polyploid 'superweed'. [1] - https://erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_c

   Setting rpath=$ORIGIN is such a common practice I'm surprised it's still treated as a special case. It should be a common, standard switch at this point.

    I've always been this way as well. This isn't considered normal behavior/thinking?

    I admit I only noodle around with DAW software. I think the most demanding thing I've run on this was cubase with about 8 tracks + effects + analog mix in. cpu was at about 50%. cpu on this specific brix pro (it's old): Intel(R)

    I'm still unconvinced it's the M1's design and not TSMC's fab process.

    I own three. They are great little PCs. I have one setup with win10, cubase and ableton, another is my Ubuntu box, and one I was using as a file server but am now repurposing as my cnc control pc.

    What would the difference between (-,+,+,+) and (+,-,-,-) be? It seems like they are the same except for choice of labels. I guess the main difference is where speed of light fits in. In (-,+,+,+) the - is multiplied by c.

    Thanks for the follow-up. I really appreciate it.

    > Your theory is that at far distances black holes act like normal gravity wells, and at near distances the gravity is lower (or higher?) than would be expected for the real mass. No that's not right. It's the inverse. At far

    It would mean black holes have different gravitational properties. Normal matter's field falls off at 1/r^2, but a black hole would be more like 1/r^2 + x(1/r). The 1/r term would make the outer edges spin faster

    In antenna theory there is the concept of the near field and far field. I had an idea that maybe black holes have an additional near field component that becomes exposed once the singularity is formed, like there is a limit/floor to in

    If you go to your mechanic and tell them "car won't start", does your mechanic have idea how long it's going to take to fix or how much money it will cost? Realistically, you will be charged a fee to figure out what is

    I have one. I don't like to use it. When I exercise my brain is way off in alpha wave territory. I found it harmful to actually getting work done. I go jogging or ride a bike instead.

    Without a standard ABI, having c++ binary packages is a huge pain, requiring multiple artifacts for every permutation of compiler, os, and platform. It's less painful today than in the past, simply due to fewer compilers, OSes, and pl

    My impression was that yes, the majority of controversy was around his areas of research. I first heard of Tajmar when researching Heim theory which was itself pretty controversial.

    He's had some controversy in the past and had a bit of a quack reputation. It's nice to see this research done. When I saw the name associated with this I assumed the opposite result.

    Why is it git submodule update and not git submodule pull I understand pull in this context would be a submodule command, not a git command, but why use different terminology from git for what is the same idea?

    For me there is nothing indirect about it. The falling notes point directly at which key on the piano to press. I can hear it's a I, IV, V, VI progression, but I might not recognize it's in the key of A#. With the falling notes

    You spend all this time figuring out how to make git do what you want using this general format: git <git-command> [args] You would expect to do the same thing with a submodule, it would be: git submodule <git-comman

    I've been playing long enough I can usually pick up a melody by ear, but sometimes it is transposed. Even without a key signature the videos help knowing what key it's in. Timing and expression are in the actual audio, so for me
