>Our interpretation of what are thinking the animals can be wrong. Of course it can, but by resorting to this sort of interpretative relativism, you're bringing the debate no further. Of course we can never tell whether animals feel

Wow, that sounds like quite the biohack! As most of the biology stuff went over my head, I couldn't find if it is reversible though, they just mention it was "stable" at 10 weeks after injection, but is it expected to be work

>Would it make more sense to instead target the patterns used by predatory commentators rather than shutting down the system completely? Terrible, terrible idea. Transfer this to the "real world", and see how it plays out - let

I like the subtle nod through capitalization in the phrase "It’s been An Incredible Journey".

So, does it clutter up my inbox when I use it? Or does it delete the messages on arrival? Or does it file them in a special IMAP folder? This was also apparently asked the last time this was posted to HN and still isn't answered in the

Win10, FF 66, I get what seems close enough to 60fps, but some graphics glitches too, mostly the texture around the barrels which doesn't go all the way "around".

Yes, but as is also implied in the article, the practices that allow you to withstand an "outage" are also practices that allow you to temporarily close yourself off on demand. Without the context, purely infrastructure-wise, what

Ah, just like on Windows, where one has to create a second My Documents folder to maintain sanity. Ew.

Oh yeah, absolutely; seeing the MOOC featured so prominently, which I genuinely was in no mood for, I was just about resigned to having to aimlessly click around and run barely functional snippets - and then I open the image, and there&#x27

Nice! This came at just the right time for me too. I find the general attitude in this comment section curious, though; lots of people are arguing about the skin tone choice which is notably brown. Yet I feel that if it were lighter in shad

There's stuff like NI's NKS [0], but it's highly vendor specific and very inflexible. I assume this will remain the case, given the relative variability of MIDI controllers - the position and amount of control elements, not t

Maybe a bit orthogonal to your point, but I feel that oftentimes "usable" trumps "pretty".

Wow, I actually had no idea; how is this all pre-planned, does somebody at NASA just put "67-P/Churyumov" into a "Orbital Maneuver Planner" and let some computers crunch the possible paths out? Or does someone actua

No matter the reason, it's still just as remarkable, I'm not sure what you're implying.

Yeah, the whole claim "latin letters were optimized to be written by hand" is completely bollocks. The letters are also subject to constraints that are based in reading just as you described.

Yeah, Wave for what it's worth, seemed like the future at that time. But it never really even took off.

I recommend reading the submission, it may answer your question.

Looks really cool, but the spatial audio proved to be underwhelming, even when I stood at a 90 degree angle to the audio source, it still sounded (mostly) in my other ear, and in general didn't match the position I'd expect from t

Well, in simple terms with four rotors you vary their speeds to tilt the copter whichever way and thus steer it. Here you have a single rotor, and just try to imagine what happens when you vary its speed. It might bob around, fly up and the

Can attest to musicforprogramming's effectivity, I literally only remember the first 5 minutes of every mix before I totally zone in.

No kidding! After the first couple I started only looking at the final image, trying to guess the inserted object.

No, it's just the most basic argument against security trough obscurity - how is this still a contentious point?

Electron frontend is precisely the thing I really don't want from a tool like vim...

Nah; their biggest security blunder is: a) The secure chats are opt-in b) Their (own) protocol hasn't been audited yet. But it's a still valuable privacy-oriented app.

Yeah uh, I don't think they were attacking the Apple App Store specifically, the comment would read exact same if it were Google who removed the app. But sure, go ahead and knee-jerk defend your favorite corporation, that adds to the d
