I love Benfey's table. I find it the most intuitive to interpret at a glance at what's actually going on with the electrons and the filing of the orbitals (in the version where they're marked) around the nucleus. Might be jus

So it's not any different than Mastodon then.

I like the old logo more. It looks less commercial, more old-fashioned, and less sleek, which I think is a good thing for a museum.

FreeCAD[1] is the most advanced in my opinion. The next release is also supposed to solve the longstanding topological naming issue, and finally be the first 1.0 version. [1] https://www.freecad.org/

I was honestly confused for a second why would you think the name had anything to do with a fetish (minus some mastodon content) until I realized you saw it as fe-diverse and not fedi-verse. I never saw it that way because I pronounce the &

The people in charge quite possibly have crypto farms themselves, so... don't expect a solution until there are literal electricity blackouts due to shortages or the electorate gets really angry. But if it were to be implemented, it wo

A much better example for this topic are IMO elephants, they behave with certain gentle quiet reverence around elephant bones they stumble upon. They also exhibit some even more ritualistic behaviors[1][2][3][4] around other dead elephants,

Yup, I've missed it somehow. I'm also a fan of approval and particularly star voting compared to IRV. It's good they're gaining ground.

The US's green house emissions per capita are twice as big as China's[1]. Considering China's population is about 4 times bigger it puts the absolute pollution at about 1:2. Chinese percent of renewables is 25% compared to th

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned yet a key (admittedly not only) part in making the US so polarized: first past the post voting system which inevitably leads to a two party system. Good luck having nuance in that system. It litera

Nobody is actually expected (emphasis on expected) to really know the third taught language beyond a couple phrases later in life. Many do, but it's not a universal fact. It's more common for people to know two "local" l

I don't know if what that person wrote is true, but drains exist and it's not like Vegas gets a lot of rain, it's literally in a desert, floods aren't really a big concern.

I believe you can do this on the Developer Edition, install unsigned add-ons. The DE is basically the same as Firefox Beta but with these kinds of tweaks.

If you're using Firefox, there are extensions that let you view an archived version of a webpage with a click. Almost every interesting article with a soft paywall I bump into has already been archived by someone. I use "web archi

Yup. Android dominates globally, and IMO Briar's strong suit compared to other similar messenger apps is avoiding both capital surveillance AND state surveillance, or in other words it's good for fighting autocratic regimes. The U

Right, but it's not the size that counts, it's the motion in the ocean. And what's on the inside. This little guy's from the Oort cloud. He's been places, he's seen things.

I'm also on Firefox (Focus) on Android. I found the GitHub link at the bottom of the page: https://github.com/MSPaintIDE/MSPaintIDE . It has screenshots and a video of usage.

A bit off topic, but instead of FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) I much more prefer the MAAAF or FAAAM acronym (Facebook, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft) because their monopolies basically make them a mafia family, and I

Before: 100 users, 100 accurate retweets. After: 100 users, 99 accurate retweets. The study followed 2000 and I can only assume they all retweeted multiple times, like 10, so you get 20000 retweets. Seems plausible to me.

You'll get there, I'm rooting for you. A bit of time, effort and luck, and you'll get there. Focus on the things you can change and not the things you can't.

Undoubtedly for some cases, but I'm talking from my perspective of "commie-blocks” with large open green spaces between the towers. Sure you could in theory put the panels in those open green public spaces but that's neither

You're forgetting many people live in apartments in dense urban areas, and basically the only place they CAN put solar panels IS on the top of their car. Of course, they could just buy/use electricity produced elsewhere in dedicat

So basically, "don't move, the t-rex can't see you if you don't move" type of situation. I guess there was some truth to that after all.

That's what projects like the https://briarproject.org/ are for. It's peer2peer in the truest sense, it can connect to other peers via Bluetooth or WiFi. It also uses Tor when it goes over the internet. The fact t
