I totally agree independent controls for brightness and contrast would be a big improvement, but I do not think they would solve this problem. Increasing the contrast will help you read the grey letters on black background in the terminal,

Another example worth checking is Isla de Hierro, in the Canary Islands (Spain). Not only they are using desalination to produce most of the fresh water they need, but the desalination plants and the whole island run 100% with renewable ene

While this is true, I think that what the article is trying to point out is not that climate change is worse, but that the models we have do not work in the current conditions. This is scary, because scientists have been anticipating climat

But it is quite popular in almost every other European country and the conditions here look perfect to me: tall people, good installations, a weather that usually favors indoor sports, a very active population willing to practice any sport.

And yet, they cannot get together 5 of them who know how to play basket. Why the country with the tallest men (and exceptionally good sport equipment all over the country) does not have a good basketball team?

R-Squared is the most commonly used indicator of how good a model fits some data. The author discusses why this indicator can be misleading in some cases and shows an example. There is nothing interesting for people unfamiliar with R-Square

The author says that E2 is "generally unmeasurable". Indeed, the true model will be unknown in most cases. In my opinion, it is not about using E2 or other alternative measure to R2, but about being aware of the significance and v

Chuck Moore, who invented FORTH, uses his own CAD system written in his own Forth-like language to design Forth chips. It is a very complex task and Forth discipline is strongly enforced in the whole process. CM also wrote colorForth, which

In theory, millions or euros that should be spent in taking care of the environment and the health system are going to someone's pockets through Ireland, so they would deserve to pay that harm too.

Smoking (or drinking) is horrible for many reasons. Being unreflective is not one of them. You could even consider it as some kind of meditation. I also think the comparison with the rock and roll argument is totally wrong. When the older g

Many people are talking about the great films that he is missing. But if this is a list of films every aspiring director should see and not just a list of very good films, I think it would also be important to watch bad and very bad movies.

The question (as Ke Jie says, but the headline hides) is not if AlphaGo will beat him, but when. I was taught a computer would not beat a professional player in my life time. Now, there is maybe one player who can beat AlphaGo. I guess this

I totally recommend it. Learning Go is a beautiful experience. It is indeed very interesting to play against another new player just to see what you come up with, then do some reading and solve some basic problems (it may even be a good ide
