So you are saying they should protest were you can easily ignore them?

At some point someone will just bundle all the software into a single docker container, and then we are finally done with the entire installation quagmire.

The keyboard sends a scancode, and something, either the text input of the OS, or the app themselves, translates that to an ö. Second, it is possible that the system just does not load the correct keyboard layout and defaults to US, so you

Between this and their new moderation policy, I suspect they will announce classic coke soon.

An hypersonic railgun could cook the pizza using air friction. Also, it would be faster.

Depends, if they have a root (or a wildcard) certificate, they can show you that, and your browser will happily show you a green lock. However, the list of root CAs in your browser is public, for Firefox see [0], and hopefully someone would

The thing is, art historians have stopped demarcating ages. (A bit like anthropologists stopped making lists of the best African tribes, even though that would be great fodder for buzzfeed.)

Thankfully climate scientists don't just eyeball a single graph. And as a matter of fact, you conflate two things, one is that we know that now industrial emission is the cause for global warming and the other is, that in the past warm

Frankly, that makes matter worse. A steering system that stabilizes and unstable aircraft would be needed and it would be a tragedy if it fails. An system that just changes the behavior from stable to stable in the same way as the previous

That begs the question, at which point does autofill happen in an iframe? So I pay for an ad, and have a password, creditcard number, address etc. form in the background. Does the browser autofil, or does it autofill when the user starts to

Well, I called it impressive. It is just that I don't think it is marathon, in the same way as a soccer match is not.

I strongly suspect that marathon runners always try to be very quick. (At least if they actually try to break a world record.) However, a very concrete example would be bringing him water, as opposed to slowing down and grabbing it. Somethi

Don't be depressed. Just reread the comment, until you realize that there is really no reason to construct it like this.

Well, my point is more abstract, namely that "real marathon" is a fiction, so the precise rules is the only thing we got, and according to these rules it is not a world record.
288.
by yk 7y ago
Well, we have arbitrary rules, that produce a result close to an arbitrary timespan. Then you change the rules in a way that breaks the timespan, in a way that is compatible with an ill defined cultural expectation what is essential and wha

Sports are a game of our own invention, correct. However, they sat down and made specific rules for this single spectacle, aka a game of their invetion. That is categorically different, and that it is categorically different from marathon i

It was damn close to a race, and they got a result that is damn close to the world record.

So, if they wanted to prove that a human can run a sub 2 h marathon distance, then why is not the entire doping arsenal in play? Similar, one could probably improve on the record by driving behind the runner with a car with an really big fa

That is like understanding programming jobs as embedded Erlang. The thing is, that journalists really like to write about quantum gravity, but almost all theoretical physicist work on something else. (Roughly in the same sense that most law

Two things, first translations are a much bigger industry in German than in English, so you get a lot of French and Spanish translations. A book does not necessarily need to sell well in English, but it needs of course some reason that it g

It is not a point. Consider two masses connected by an rope, one in an higher orbit. The entire contraption will move along their common center of mass, and there will be tension on the rope. The same thing applies for an lunar elevator, on
