The good reason for adding dark matter, that you say is absent, is one that is more a question of philosophy of science, in that adding more mass accounts for the observed behaviours without changing the known laws of physics. The known l

It exists for casual, potentially older users, outside of dev/IT profession, to do grocery shopping and simple games on a couch while they watch TV after work. I've never bought an iPad or found use for the one I was once given as

I'll second that. Though I have rarely logged into it the last ten years, I used to be more active on SA before that. Lots of people have complained about moderation there but I think it's just a case of avoid the designated spam

I also regretted giving mine away in favour of something that represented a considerable hardware upgrade, but was nowhere near as pleasant to use.

Get an IBM ThinkPad 380XD, swap out the screen for a Chromebook Pixel's 2560x1600 screen, then swap the board out for the Macbook M2's silicon along with as much RAM and as many ports as you can fit in the chassis. Port Windows 20

Ah that Thinkpad 560E reminds me of my first laptop -- the perfectly chunky Thinkpad 380XD. I adored that laptop. I loved how it felt, how it looked, how it sounded. I loved the beeps, I miss computers beeping and chattering to confirm that

The reality is that we can only have a sensible conversation about, or write sensibly about, concepts and facts within the context of our epistemic limit as a species. You may have noticed that a lot of the cliché philosophical questions ha

Hm, and he was me thinking myself unburdened for not hanging on to paper copies of books, and yet digital copies could be edited surreptitiously or even very obviously to completely change or "sanitise" to prevent offense, while p

Based on your comment, I'll give SNW a try. I had not bothered based on 2 seasons of Discovery and 3 episodes of Picard . I just went back to DS9. Also, from the same source as OP: https://www.mewho.com/trek/

I remember installing a Windows XP LCARS theme, back when I was watching Star Trek every day as soon as I got back from college – and I remember strongly regretting the decision immediately. Needless to say, it looked kinda cool, but not

I stopped after season 2, and I have not been compelled to look into further seasons. For me, Discovery just misses the point and panders to the demands of a wider audience. The production value us excellent, very talented cast and likeab

One of my favourite Voyager episodes. While being an action two-parter, which I wouldn't normally care for over ethical/exploratory stories, they were careful to look at the practical and emotional implications of surviving in a

Dropbox's specific popularity on HN may partially stem from its original backing by YC. It will have enjoyed additional exposure here thanks to that, and to be fair to Dropbox, it was a good product. I say *was because I cannot speak f

I think the first lesson here is that the term "force" is pretty unhelpful. I think the term "interaction" is generally preferred to avoid confusion. What I would say is that to bundle gravity in with electromagnetic, st

Perhaps it will simply return in search of The Kirk, The Creator, and offer to purge the infestation of irrational, disorganised organic units.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I'm hoping to see as well. Something useful, light enough to wear for extended periods of time and provides a sharp, clean picture comparable to, or better than, current monitors. Even if it's low re

I usually explain it to people like this: The Host knows which box has the prize. You choose box A, leaving B and C. The Host opens box B and, revealing it empty, gives you information about box C that you don't

The recent BBC/Amazon adaptation of King Lear featuring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson was pretty good. Worth watching for sure.
