Man what a beautiful bit if knowledge, reminds me a bit of the eel mystery. Thanks to the researchers doing this sort of work, and I hope their conservation efforts go well

This is a public service announcement: please stop barbecueing your jackfruits, this is a culinary crime beyond even boiled vegetables. Please, for the love of god, just eat something fresh for once in your life

wikipedia's explanation works for uniform bodies, yours doesn't. And since tidal bulges seem to be symmetric, there's no away to explain away the deformation as making one side heavier

I think the explanation is wrong: wikipedia offers a completely different explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking . Planets can become tidally locked to the sun- mercury is. Probably the timescale requir

Oh neat, a post I actually know something about! I worked a lot on userfaultfd performance for GCE's live migration post-copy a couple years ago. Or more specifically, I worked on mechanisms to avoid it entirely- due to lock contention

I've got [a bit of neovim config]( https://github.com/anlsh/nvim/blob/8b61520a5ecd752427abffc45... ) which sends you straight to `neogit` (which is basically equivalent as far as I use it) when a certain e

What an arrogant and slavish comment. Truth may be the first casualty of any war, yet here you are celebrating its demise so that war may be waged more thoroughly. I wonder what it's like to be so convinced of your righteousness of y

If anyone works at bitwarden can you get your UI people to stop retheming for the upteenth time and instead make the "detailed view" of any entry read-only by default? Every time I need to access my notes on an entry I'm scar

Why does a password-protected zip file reveal a list of the files within lol? If I'm understanding this right, we'd have been hosed if the files had been TARd first?

Ok now we're talking: important clarifications. Neat read on the type systems. But this part is extremely important: > The idiomatic way to do it is to allow garbage inputs like negative numbers into your square root function, and r

Your idea that your program should just spit out an incorrect answer when it runs into an unexpected condition? That's really stupid

A ridiculous fairy tale. Dictatorships need hardly interfere with the "stability" of a society which launches a bloody and monumentally expensive temper tantrum in response to 9/11 but allows thousands more to die each year f

Who actually has issues with gc pauses? I've never noticed them on modern hardware. Are they an issue on embedded systems or something?

No. But we're talking about cars, not computers, and their novelty is just one among many strong pieces of evidence that a much less car-dependent society is possible, even desirable. Perhaps you can refute the existence billions of pe

Hah! Cars have been around for just a hundred years or so, and yet serious efforts to reduce our dependency on them are "near impossible." Talk about recency bias.

Not much? Do you drive? Do you see the number of consumer vehicles on the road versus the number of trucks/delivery vehicles? If we could work towards a huge reduction in consumer vehicles on the road, even if we just replaced them all

Weird to see huggingface in the news like this. I remember contributing some fix to it back in summer 2019 when it had 4k stars or something, and I thought it was a really popular project even then :)

In any sane language you can just do this using a lambda. Unfortunately C is just broken so :(

You're wrong. There was indeed never anything "official", but high-level diplomats (such as the US Secretary of State) did promise as much behind closed doors. See https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/

Great little refresher on how hymenopteran genetics advantages eusociality! I do wish that it made an effort to address why bees are different in this regard from other eusocial hymenopterans such as wasps though (ie, why do bees die when

One area I have found where TRAMP really suffers is when you have a relatively high-latency connection. I'm living on the east coast right now and connect to a dev box in Washington to work, and tramp is basically unusable. Every time
