a software bug - when the machine did not know what to do, it made a random move Depending on the specs that's not really a bug. I mean, it's not like "when the machine did not know what to do, it invoked undefined behavior

This feels like a simple strawman. Maybe feels like it, but the argument being attacked here is just the false 'amazon = world's lungs' claim, not something else, not global warming, so I don't think it qualifies as s

You miss an important part of the sentence in the second link: "The NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) for occupational noise exposure is 85 decibels, A-weighted ". dB expresses the ratio of one value to another. So without

I do this the whole time, creating many small commits, fixing up, squashing etc but to keep things a bit orderly I also usually do the rebase -i fairly often in order not to end up with more fixup commits that are easy to fit on screen. But

Mostly the latter, which of course makes it easier. The open source parts are either only open source in that they're publicly available but in reality there's no other users (we know of) or there aren't many users and they j

Who benefits? We do, simply because it's less cognitive overhead to read log/blame output when it's less chaotic. This doesn't mean that there's zero chaos in the commit history of course. But less than when we&#x

When I first read the often-repeated advice NEVER change public history or something along those lines I was like 'yeah, 'duh'. My opinion on that changed a bit though and I reckon this advice follows the standard pattern o

You can't manage kids' activities, work schedules and your social life without a smartphone these days. May I ask where you live? Or did you mean 'without a computer'? Works perfectly for me in Western Europe.

Text is all you need In essence, yes. Yes you can get pretty far with sed and the likes. But it's not because it's all we really need, that other things (objects in this case) don't offer an improvement and make things bett

Light clothes color is another one, makes it very easy to spot them and we found that is pretty effective as first barrier. I avoid permethrin personally because I'm not a fan of it's effect on aquatic life, but I wonder why you o

I also wonder what effect this whole thing has on the cow. IIRC in humans there are even links between (lack of/bad) gut bacteria and certain diseases. So it seems at least worth it figuring ouf how this affects cows, imo.

Came here to post similar. I don't think there are enough and/or large scale studies already, but there are 'local' studies showing negative effects of honeybees on wild bees (and all other pollinators, not to forget). I

Not OP but if I wouldn't rm ~/matlab_crash_dump* regularly it would be hundreds of them. Can't really pinpoint the problems, but most of the time it's graphics related. Possibly because it gets used remotely over VNC or

I'm the opposite. I don't like lawns, not just for the looks but mainly because as far as biodiversity goes a trimmed lawn is almost dead. So I converted the lawns which came with the house into meadows. Nature thrives, and as far

It's a bit double. On one side: yes it's obviously better, faster, if anyone can do it. On the other hand learning a skill is valueable as well.

Likely same reason as many, many other things: the modern 'automated' version (tie wraps usually) is easier, cheaper, faster. And has the standard consequences which unfortunately get ignored: requires close to no skill, plastic,

I wonder if these are pure hardware switches, like in distinct on/off positions where the off position is wired directly to the sensor's power or similar, or more like buttons with software behind them which then does whatever act

I don't think the author's intent was to argue completely against cnstructors. At least to me this reads more like: here are some pros, here are some cons. But you're right: in some languages some aspects are better than in o

Was having the same problem, then wondered: aren't their browser extensions which parse the text and convert units? Did a quick search but didn't find any - shouldn't be that hard though?

There certainly are universities out there with proper CS courses teaching way more than Java and JS so your point is a bit moot. But that doesn't take away that I also have the impression that universities alone do not produce people

Feels like you're trying to downplay this but that's not really correct imo. Ok the individual parts of the experiments (stimulation, decoding EEG) aren't exactly new but for the rest I think it's quite novel (might be w

Concepts like SOLID principles feel like meta-academic overkill, and get in the way of "getting things done". For small programs, certainly. But I've witnessed the effects of not applying any kind of SOLID principle at all
