How do go monorepos work? Does each library/binary have its own directory with its own go.mod file? And then you need a build system more powerful than go build to descend into each directory and build (if necessary)? Does this play ni

Why not? Vibrations can travel through solid metal. You might be able to make a custom tool that sends vibrations through the core enough to cause the wafers to move up and down even if the core is turned.

This assumes there is a universally agreed upon definition of "upward" and "forward". Religious people would argue things like abortion rights and pride celebrations are the opposite of upward and forward progress since

So if we had artificial womb technology, should a woman have the choice to terminate the fetus if the fetus could be safely moved to an artificial womb? If so, doesn't that go beyond the scope of your post of abortion being purely abou

Well yeah, Docker + Windows isn't the best experience. I recommend WSL if you must go down that route.

Well if it becomes a cat/mouse game, the drones could start shielding their electronics and employing backup navigation methods if GPS fails (think robotic-sextant-style celestial navigation). Of course, a robotic sextant is not going

Is 'Xe' the name or the preferred pronoun of the person in question? Is this like Latinx but race neutral? Gender identity accommodations seem to get more complex and confusing by the month...

Are you sure about your assertions? I thought all LDS Church child businesses (such as KSL, Bonneville International, etc.) and land holdings were taxed. I was under the impression only the charitable arm of the church was not taxed (i.e. d

IIRC it is a crime to defame someone in Japan, even if what you say is completely true. I.e. you could get in trouble with the law if you expose a lying CEO because the act of doing so defamed him, which is a crime. So clearly Japan values

Controversial opinion: Lack of stable two parent households is the primary reason for lack of education. When you have to increasingly rely on the state to provide education that traditionally has come from parents, there's a problem..

So... To answer GP's question you're saying a prenup would solve this by specifically laying out what would happen to the children in different scenarios? (Father is domestic abuser, mother is alcoholic, etc?) And you'd have

Procedural programming has always been great and continues to be great for most use cases. There's a time and a place for OOP, and there is a case to be made for functional programming, but it's hard to beat the simplicity of proc

It's notable because it's free energy that isn't being consumed for some reason. Sprinkle some sugar on the ground outside and ants will swoop in and grab it in minutes.

Some of these things are only super hard if you are developing a general solution. The general solution to word wrapping across all written human languages in use on the planet is indeed difficult. But implementing basic word wrap for an HT

Cool project, but to me this feels like the "how to make a meal out of free condiments at restaurants" life hacks. In my opinion, just pay for the service. Satellite internet systems are not cheap to stand up or operate.

So the average shifts slightly up in the short term because of whales, but the population still will trend to zero in the long term. Not really a paradox, just a slightly unexpected short term statistical anomaly.

Indeed, however, I started this project a few years ago before I knew about workers and so it would be a lot of effort to switch now. Perhaps if I make a follow on game I'd try workers. I'd have to implement message routing in ord
