Profound thoughts about the human condition don't become less profound when the next generation comes along. The Little Prince is no more "boomer" than, say, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.

Cool project. I noticed one minor area for potential improvement: when I look at the ATL area right now, it looks like aircraft are clipping through the ground at takeoff and landing. I'm guessing this is because you're taking the

It would be nice if they could burn it on something that didn't require them to buy up the world's supply of DDR5 RAM, and triple prices for everyone else. https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory&#x2

Yeah, ideally the browsers would phase this change in gradually to minimize disruption. If the EXIF data specifies a 180° rotation, then start at 0° and gradually increase the rotation by 1° per day until full spec compliance is reached.

Not a dumb question at all! There is no general closed-form solution to the three-body problem. There are certain specific initial conditions which give periodic, repeating orbits. But they are almost always highly "unstable", i

No, Jennell Jaquays died from Guillain–Barré syndrome, not cancer.

Given that it's already the most upvoted open Android framework bug, and the Google employee it's assigned to hasn't touched it in almost a year, it seems unlikely that more upvotes will make any difference whatsoever.

I think it's completely fine to renege on deals that were made with people who have been dead for centuries, actually, if there's a good reason to. Courts and political institutions routinely nullify all kinds of "deals"

That's about it being closed for the 2025 tax year (because the filing deadling has passed), not about the program being shut down.

Sure, but localStorage isn't really ideal for storing large objects anyway, because it forces everything to be stored in one big string-to-string map. It's great for small amounts of data such as user preferences. There are other

That explanation doesn't really make sense to me. If something could be built as a native app without depending on a central server, it could also be built as a PWA without a central server. You don't need to store user data centr

I find it kind of funny that this is almost exactly how Java's much-maligned "checked exceptions" work. Everything old is new again. In Java, when you declare a function that returns type T but might also throw exceptions o

Sure, and pi is the limit of a sequence of rational numbers, but lots of properties that hold for rational numbers don't hold for pi.

I'm not sure there is a chunker in this repo. The file you linked certainly doesn't seem to perform any chunking, it just defines a data model for chunks. The only place I see that actually operates on chunks does so by fetching

That's great, but are they also running redundant, independently-developed software stacks? Because software failure seems to be the issue here.

It did jump out at me that the paper repeatedly cites studies that found a correlation between finasteride and psychological side effects, and then talks about them as though they're evidence of causation.

You can call it hindsight bias if you want. What you seem to be saying is that your heuristics would have told you that Javice had no nefarious intent based on that exchange, and you would of course have been wrong. My heuristics are very d

Probably worth noting that ordinary rsync can also handle insertions/deletions because it uses a rolling hash. Rsync's method is bandwidth-efficient, but not especially CPU-efficient.

You could imagine something like that happening, but from the email conversation quoted in the indictment, it doesn't seem like there was even a token attempt at justifying it.

I guess I can begrudgingly accept that this is an example of "defense in depth" but it doesn't seem like a very good one given how easily it can be bypassed. Like, you could equally well add "depth" by taking every

I don't really understand the use case for this. Despite all the details in the README, there are only a couple sentences devoted to describing what it's actually for, and they don't make much sense to me. You're assumin
