When an oil well goes off, high explosives can be used to extinguish it. Maybe this is the same principle.

Funnily enough, I use Cloudflare Warp at work, and it breaks my site for what I think are DNS related reasons. Maybe there are some more exotic DNS keys that I need to add. Or I could go back to IPv4 with dynamic DNS, but that would mean ch

No, but IPv6 only these days. I never set up dynamic DNS.

The proper time (that is, the time the traveler measures on a clock) goes to zero very quickly towards the end. Even with both axes plotted logarithmically, it's just a sudden drop at the end towards light speed. - [pic]( https:&#x2F

Here's the [paper][1] on the arxiv. I found it hard to believe that they accounted for other forces precisely enough that they could attribute the phase change to gravity, but this is beyond me so I trust the result. At first I thought

Maybe part of it is that fully functional notation necessarily preserves certain properties of the computation, while imperative style doesn't have to. For a complex piece of code, all of the hairiness is manifest in a functional style

This is beside the point, and I'm being pedantic, but the unix pipeline and the clojure expression don't quite do the same thing. The clojure expression reads the entire file into memory first, and then operates on that memory rep

No, the plot of The Andromeda Strain is about a low orbit bacterium that clots blood very quickly but is extremely sensitive to blood pH.

Yeah I figure I'm "well educated" and I never took a real statistics class and so never learned the definition of a p-value. I also don't know about the Wars of the Roses or Millard Fillmore. I did learn about Hildegard

It's phones. Nobody uses computers anymore (for some statistical definition of "nobody"). There's no pressure to make precise and consistent UIs because poke poke poke poke.

Tracing is the most general of them, and the most expensive unless you're careful with the implementation. Trace spans are time-delimited units of "stuff that happened", with a tree relationship among the spans, and each span

I went through a whole design phase with ChatGPT on the idea of using an old Kobo as a low-distraction TV remote for my dad. The idea is that it would interface with a computer media server thing, be more legible than a traditional remote,

Mexico is serious about junk food. The cereal boxes in the stores don't have cute cartoon characters on them, and I tried to send somebody a box of chocolates and it got seized by customs. Candy is labeled like cigarettes.

I forgot about the AC mains :) My experience with embedded stuff is very limited -- just some hobby projects on the Pico. From what I've read, though, the on-board oscillators (there are a few of them) can drift quite a bit. One data p

This is a harder problem than it seems. I've been thinking and reading about it for a side project, but haven't done much testing yet. There are a few places to get the current time: - on-board real-time clock (RTC) connected to a
