If you don't care, that is fine. But please don't spoil it for the ones caring. Don't argue against it if you don't care

Similar direction but different: Spirituality, mysticism, religion, "alternate" non-sciency stuff, but also history. When not approached with sceptic mindset but one that tries to understand it can be very enlightening. I think it

I once released a programming "writer's block" by switch back from dark mode to light mode. I actually like dark mode, but I feel like I am still in a "light mode" phase.

I asked myself the same question. Unfortunately this isn't addressed in the article. But I think that the glacier researchers probably though about it.

If your conception of law was true I could do the following: Steal stuff all the time. Sometimes I would get catched for whatever I was stealing. Proudly I will face all of the consequences: I just give back what I was stealing. All harm do

Very simple P-controller based autopilot derived from the one-liner: let a = setInterval(() => { // retrieve values from simulation let roll = fixedRotationZ; let pitch = fixedRotationX; let yaw = f

Thank you! But to be honest Blender is kinda underwhelming. I had better conversations with alice derivates. Blender feels bland, like a dozen different responses with only some words from my text inserted.

Failing is a form of learning. Enabling to fail (preferably in a safe way) is very valuable for learning.

I am very happy with (technical writing) experts helping with their expertise. That is how I want culture to see their role. Maybe a bit over-simplified: SW-Devs talk to the machines, Doc-writers talk to the people. If you can't make

I dont know, but the last glacial periods started after rapid (in geological terms, still long times) increases of temperature. Followed by declining temperature and increasing ice volume over thousands of years. https://en.wikip

Avoid np.linalg.inv if you can do it in another way.. It slows the already slow python even more. Recently replaced np.linalg.inv by an affine transformation inverse (what was really needed) in one of our codebases to get a speedup of 100x.

100-200 million years is way too much to be supported by our scientific consensus: Wikipedia on "Control of fire by early humans": Claims for the earliest definitive evidence of control of fire by a member of Homo range from 1.7 t

Yea, the new calculator is kinda bad. But you can search the web for "windows old calculator" and replace the new one with this. It is exactly the calculator as you are used to from Win7.

The problem you describe is known as "multi objective optimization". Normalizing the input data to similar ranges usually helps, but there is no single golden rule how to weight. It depends on what you want to accomplish. But rega

They win and rule by dictacting the world their own rules. Clever they are. Why risk a loss to anothers rules when you can win by enforcing your own rules on them?

After all the gray on white text color schemes in the "modern web" my eyes where really pleasured by the high contrast and big font.

sry i meant stringbuilder, not stringbuffer.

by xaedes 7y ago
when concatenating strings, stringbuffer can be orders of magnitude faster. one c# example from google search "stringbuilder vs string benchmark" from codinggame.com measures 2.5 minutes for string += and 99ms for stringbuilder.

To be honest, it looks more like regular humans and animal hunter companions (dogs??). The resolution of the info graphic is a joke, here is one with better resolution, found by reverse image search: https://www.eltiempo.com&#x2F

Did you come up with a different design that doesnt trigger it? I would be interested to hear.

Probably. This also explains that people find comfort in pimple popping and ASMR. The first is a direct skin health care routine and ASMR is simulating human intimacy, probably giving the impression of being cared for by others, which help

"fact I just saw a room full of people cheer for the censorship of politicians." That was his point I think. I think this was just a performance to point out exactly THAT behaviour. How easy the people cheer for censorship. He eve

Not sure if he is serious (sounds a lot like ministry of truth and stuff) or if it is just his best performance so far. I think it is the latter and he is trolling his audience yet again. He is doing it in the same way he described his prev

My observations: I rarely see it in computer science related papers. I often see it in biology / medicine papers (but I don't see lots of those papers) If you wonder what 21 people do for one paper, they have mentioned it in the
