I think pedantically anchors are the markers in the document, and the URL fragments refer to the anchors to tell the browser to scroll there. If I'm wrong, someone will be along to correct me...

Test cases? I still feel lucky to discover that a new (to me) project is even using source code control, let alone has some kind of test suite, let alone one that it currently passes.

I do this too occasionally — Fibonacci is easy to implement, and it's an exponential backoff (with a lower exponent than 2, which is also easy to implement ;) )

tldr: soy oil, and not other oils or other soy products, cause some changes in gene expression in mice that could be linked to various diseases (not "genetic changes". this is a badly written article)

Plausible deniability works great... in a liberal, rule-of-law, legal-by-default society.

In a data center, for every watt the drive consumes, you also have to pay to pump a watt of heat out of the building. I don't know what the numbers are like for a modern DC but cooling can be pretty expensive in terms of energy and equ

He's an (ex?) intelligence guy who's come forward saying the government has retrieved craft of "non-human origin". Whether that means Grey Aliens, dolphins, or Sleestaks, I don't think we know.

That's what their "eACH" metric covers. The article mentions it briefly.

There was controversy about the LHC possibly creating small black holes with disastrous consequences. However * The LHC probably doesn't have the energy density to do that, * If it did, such a tiny black hole would be so small, and pre

Spaghettification is just the extreme effect of tidal forces. IIRC, objects made of normal materials falling into a stallar-mass BH will be ripped apart lengthwise (and compressed widthwise) before they cross the event horizon. The same obj

I used this for a few years at a previous job and really liked it — it didn't get a ton of adoption by other people there, though, unfortunately. It had a bunch of cool ideas and seemed well implemented. I'm sad that it didn'

It's interesting to see how each article on this progressively de-emphasizes the climate aspect and foregrounds the RTO aspect. Judging from crowd response and placards at the event, though, climate concerns were more important than th

Typically, if a business accepts cards, part of their agreement with the card-processing company is that they cannot charge a surcharge. Card transactions have to be the same price (presented to the customer) as cash transactions. (I forget

Lots of businesses in my city refuse cash transactions. There's minor controversy about how it tends to shut out marginalized people, but AFAIK it has survived legal challenges. It doesn't matter that cash is "legal tender&qu

It doesn't reduce the entropy any, so I don't see how it could be less secure (assuming you don't count "with a C" as the additional words, which obviously you wouldn't).

I'm sure, but it wouldn't be the first. Corporate culture is full of structural flaws.

It's a neat hack that the AP is just a repurposed tag, but since they use 802.15.4 could the AP run on other arbitrary hardware? Like the common nRF52840 based boards.

That is the basic idea that gives rise to the theory of general relativity — that gravity isn't really a force, it's just the observable effect of being in curved spacetime. (Take a look at the "equivalence principle"
