Wait. A tree is just nested tags, right? I feel like I'm missing something. Here I'm thinking of the correspondence between trees and strings of nested parentheses. So, strings like (a (b c) d) (e f) carry a tree structure, and an

I'm confused. SGML/XML is capable of representing arbitrary tree structures (with metadata attached to the nodes), is it not? Somewhat of a tangent, but I like the name of the alegraic structure for binary trees: magma [0]. [0] h

Would this be likely to hold up in court at all? It seems like this kind of thing would fall under the purview of defamation law, and benchmarks are essentially "just facts" so about as safe as you can get. I imagine they'd h

AFAIU asbestos is technically a legal/commercial classification that encompasses a few different types of minerals. In the U.S. the EPA sees them all as carcinogenic enough that it stopped encouraging comparative health research betwee

This is about the model species Schizophyllum commune . I found the OP article left me wanting to know more. The wikipedia page for S. commune links to a fascinating, in-depth page by an enthusiast: http://botit.botany.wisc.ed

Oh wow. I didn't realize that some browsers accept straight hex or decimal representations of IP addresses. It does seem a bit silly to have two orthogonal directory structures smooshed together in a single format, especially with di

This is an amazing observation. It's not terribly difficult to work out the numbers once it's been pointed out, but I'm not sure if I'd have come up with it on my own. For others who like this sort of thing, I highly rec

I don't get why PV, wind, geothermal &c get so much more love than the various nuclear fuel cycles. AFAIK nuclear so far has the smallest fatality per kWh ratio. For certain, salt reactors need a lot more research, but so do many o

Not sure about your setup, but my .vimrc is pretty non-trivial and nvim Just Works. I even have ~/.config/nvim just symlinked to ~/.vimrc.

Now I'm really curious about your cloud provider. I'm running mine on a Google instance, which seems silly if avoiding GMail is the goal. :P

Oh shoot. Good point. It's running on a Google VM instance, so I push outgoing SMTP through Mailgun. That's a factor I hadn't considered. Incidentally, if you are getting flagged as spam, using a relay like Mailgun could be a

A couple people have replied about problems setting up private email servers and getting flaggad as spam. I run my own. With SPF, DKIM and DMARC setup properly, I've not noticed anywhere that's flagged me as spam. GMail users cert

It's not too much to ask. A person overlooked a thing once. Heck, I overlooked it too because on my phone the green text was so incredibly small I coudln't read it. I don' think it's too much to ask for commenters to hav

Here "original" is probably "The Odyssey", not a generic original work. I read that as Wilson highlighting the gender roles embedded in Homer's writing.

Come on. Shaming helps nobody. I know I've missed seemingly obvious things before and am sure everyone else here has as well.

I know this is off topic, but I really wish pages wouldn't hide content behind JavaScript. The page I see would work just as well as just HTML with a little CSS styling.

Wait, can you approximate protons and neurons as excitations in proton and neutron fields instead of as specific valences of a quark-gluon plasma?

One problem with mm as a unit for type is that it's not immediately obvious what we're measuring the length of. The point specifically refers to the maximum height of the minuscule 'm' or something like that. Then with t

Yeah. These accessibility vs. design issues were what immediately came to me mind to. Though, as simply another tool in the bag, accurate real-world sizing capability seems like it could be used too actually help those issues. Would like to

I live in Tokyo and have done this quite a bit, but it makes me feel like such a Gaijin that I don't do it anymore. 出る杭は打たれる The nail that sticks out gets hit. Maybe that sentiment has sunk in. Perhaps loneliness is a pervasive feature

Oh cool. I've not yet read through the series, but I've been wanting to read exactly this kind of thing for a while. One of the big reasons I've not touched JS much is simply that the depth of the abstraction stack scares me.

Only for certain values of "most". As the author mentions, kernels and embedded applications very often need to have tight control over memory layout.

IANAL, but as far as I understand EULA don't have the last say on things like this. The courts decide if the terms are reasonable. Apparently, there is no repercussion for putting non-enforcable conditions in an EULA, so companies are
