In the copyright-adjacent space, there's the concept of something having no substantial non-infringement-supporting use. It's a judgment call, of course, and certainly it's abused... but that seems like what people are anglin

I've started using Amazon's website to find a product and then going to the seller's website to buy it... what goes around comes around, I guess.

The first part of your idea sounds a lot like a false vacuum decay which is metaphorically a lot like a supersaturated solution.

It means there's one node in that chassis, eg here's a 2U4N product: https://www.servethehome.com/dell-emc-poweredge-c6525-review...

The article is frustratingly vague. Who told them to prioritize Amazon packages? Who is not hiring enough people to keep up with their volume?

Man ... what on earth happened to PA's artwork style?

I think the "b" stands for base pairs (bases) rather than bytes or bits in this context.

Yeah, just in the text of the OK response. So I guess it isn't really very structured. Seems like it would be a useful ESMTP capability to add though - queue identifier and MTA-assigned message-ID.

Hm, many MTAs do return a unique queue ID when they accept a message over SMTP. Does SES not implement that?

I suppose from that perspective WAFs exist simply because of Conway's law.

Swift probably did it for ObjC compatibility, and ObjC got it from Smalltalk.

What do you use for spam filtering (or do you outsource it to Google)? My spam filters have gotten leakier of late, but I haven't gotten around to fiddling with them again.

It's such a broad hobby that there isn't really a least common denominator. The easiest way to get into it is probably voice chat on VHF — a cheap Baofeng brand handheld radio and a license will get you on the air and you can deci

Yeah, I'm a little surprised if ARRL doesn't have a way to get forwarding setup for <callsign>@arrl.org or something. Every call sign has an associated (postal) mailing address that's public information anyway.

I already see that happening, except without the Megabuilding. For example, I see lots of semi-permanent food trucks — they park in the same spot every day, running off of bottled propane and a noisy little generator hanging off the hitch,

This is, I think, the difference between thinking of a quaternion (or a vector!) as a collection of numbers with rules for manipulating them, and thinking of a quaternion (or a vector) as an abstract geometrical object that exists in a spac

Using national flags as a language symbol is pretty dodgy anyway. I suppose I could get upset that there's a monarchist flag for English on most websites.

If you really want to, there's also the `join` command, which has been part of the standard unix toolset for longer than many of us have been alive.

Weird website, looks like it was copied from somewhere that had more information. What is the inward-facing ultrasonic microphone for?

I think endo/ecto are mechanisms and homeo/poikilo are results. They mostly match up (why spend all that energy generating body heat if you're not going to use it to maintain a constant maximally-biochemically-effective tempe

Earth is a big RTG. About half of geothermal heat is fossil heat from formation, but the rest is from decay of radionuclides like potassium and thorium.

That sounds fascinatingly different from how most teams I know of operate. If you don't mind talking about it a bit more, what application domain do you work in? Do you know how this work style arose in your team?

I think this is an example of what GP was talking about. DI is a way to manage the programming style, very common in Java, which relies on a huge amount of global mutable state. This makes testing and reasoning about code really hard. The a

BCD modes only take a few gates to implement; their biggest cost is probably the instruction encoding space they occupy. On a chip as small as the 6502 it makes sense that some users would want to avoid the expensive decimal/binary con

A second issue is that ISBNs identify a specific SKU (different formats will have different ISBNs, different printings may even get different ISBNs, etc), but book-related projects typically want some way to identify "the same book&quo

There's a whole field of study and endeavor called "politics" which is concerned with this very question! Check it out!
