<this is a repost, but I like to spread the good word when the opportunity avails itself> I think one reason why most people have a hard time reading regex is because they don't use any indentation or linebreaks. Honestly, if a b

Chart has baseline at ~1995. They say we reached 200 zettajoules around 2019. 200 zettajoules => 2.0e23 J * 4.184 J/cal => 8.36e+23 calories They say this is the energy absorbed by top 2000 meters of the oceans. There are 84.8 mi

I feel like there is some missing context in this article. I worked at <mega ag corp> in molecular breeding for ~3 years, starting in 2007 or 2008. And we were already using colchicine to created doubled haploids (read: pure inbred pl

I think preciously few people necessarily dislike the idea of quelling hate speech. The real problem is who gets to decide what classifies as hate speech. When there is a large contingent of america chanting nonsense like "silence is v

It's how I paid for my Christmas gifts when I was in High School. Wait in lines for xboxes, furbies, whatever the hot toy was that year. Think of the guys who spent tens of thousands of dollars on generators, rented a truck and drove d

smells like a publicity stunt to me. "omg. wtf, onlyfans, I won't be able to pay my bills" a million sex workers howl into social media. For 2 months. october rolls around, "we've decided to reverse course". So

I've had cui (mostly to share pictures). I thought it was good, but idk how field mouse would be. Cui (guinea pig for the uninitiated) has a decent amount of meat on it. Field mice are so tiny, a chicken wing has has to have more meat

I'm sure you know this, but you're only being downvoted because they think you're making shit up. I, unfortunately know that you are not making this shit up.

you're talking about the DPI scaling between the TV and a laptop monitor? I agree it's annoying. I've solved it in two ways - I got a second 43" "montior", the other is I just keep my laptop closed. I feel you

this isn't super cheap, but relative to the competing products, it is very cheap - A 43" 4K monitor from TCL is ~$300 (they used to be like $220, but I think a new model has supports 120Hz instead of just 60Hz). It's the equi

to your point (and how to fix it in a way that seemingly nobody does) - you can make complicated regular expressions pretty simple by using named groups, and ignoring pattern whitespace because they allow you to logically separate different

I was at the MS MVP Summit ~7 years ago and they had a Bing engineer give a presentation/breakout on a similar VS plugin that used the bing knowledge graph (iirc). I was crazy impressed with how well/relevant its recommendations w

Yeah, it's all theater. A few weeks ago I opened a business banking account and the banker asked me what my company did, and I told her "I traffic underage girls, and sell methamphetamines". Woooo boy, she did not like that.

Except glyphostate has been around since 1950, in heavy use since the late 1990s, and most importantly of all - it is a herbicide. Not a pesticide. It is not the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder.

That's interesting that they said it was caused by overactive platelets. When I first heard about the AZ concerns a week or two ago, they specifically called out the clots as being abnormal because they had fewer platelets than they

A common carrier can't ban you from using their services because they happen to not like aspects of your business. Parler was sending 2fa codes with twilio. They were not using twilio sms as an interface to parler's user generated

Hell. Even Twilio (a common carrier) banned Parler. AFAICT Parler wasn't using Twilio to forward harassing messages. It used it for 2FA. And I'm sure they'll get away with it. It's just nuts.

I'm in the open ai beta for GPT-3, and I don't see how to play with DALL-E. Did you actually try "4 glasses on a table"? If so, how? Is there a separate beta? Do you work for open ai?

I too have been surprised. I'm more surprised about physicians turning it down than nurses. I love nurses, we've got 15 on our payroll, they're kind and wonderfully exceptional people. But they operate heavily under various p

Based on the last image it looks like the spacecraft dropped off the sample then continued back into space. Anyone know why? Headed for more collection?
