Gray Jays exist in North America, so that names already taken. (They have been renamed to "Canada Jay," but that's a hilarious story for another day)

Human changes to ecosystems have altered the range of many bird species. Not just climate -- farming, ranching, housing, and recreational land uses tend to dramatically cause changes to bird ranges.

It's the other way around. SLI falling out of fashion is why there are no consumer boards with multiple x16 slots. There's no longer any demand for it on the consumer side, so the CPU vendors only provide lots of PCIe lanes for ex

Shipping is a low-margin business. That business structure does not incentivize paying for careful analysis of failure modes. Seems to me the only effective and enforceable redundancy that can be easily be imposed by regulation would be man

He has a good article on that at [1] But here's the gist: sometimes you have an object you want to copy, but then abandon the original. Maybe it's to return an object from a function. Maybe it's to insert the object into a la

As someone with CKD and scheduled for an MRI, this was anxiety-inducing. The Cleveland Clinic has a good overview[1]. Since there have been no reports of NSF in 15 years, I don't think it's rational to avoid MRIs based on gadolini

I went hunting for a reference for your statement, and was successful. Clevland Clinc says "There haven’t been any new reports of NSF in almost 15 years" [1] [1] https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases&

This is asking too much. The management of trim, reallocation, wear leveling, and so much more is very complex. It's a full software stack hiding behind the abstraction of NVMe. Every manufacturer is running a different stack with diff

One of the consequences of being part of administration that lies constantly is that it is very difficult to trust they are telling the truth. Since this is based on the Interior Department saying something very different than the company,

The in-person verification of hotspots was good, but in-person verification of non-hotspots was not done, and might be difficult.

The Fairness Doctrine has become an urban legend among the left with a regrettable amount of built-up legends of its power. Whatever you think it did, it almost certainly did not do that. In practice it meant that J. Random Crazypants would

ACE Rail (from Stockton to San Jose) has an absolutely wonderful network of eight shuttle buses that meet the train when it arrives at the Great America station[1]. They fan out across most of the Silicon Valley so that there's no need

What I would like: First, ICE should be competent. There's a long history of them being the dumbest and most thug-like people to hold a badge. Compare this to the US Postal Inspectors, who are the most competent. Reform has long been n

Built by a company that has never built an aircraft too. That seems... unlikely. Seems like if this idea really makes sense, it's exactly the kind of thing the EU would subsidize Airbus to do.

The tollhouse recipe is amazingly fragile. Slight variations in temperature can make the cookies "go flat" or end up with a thick skin. No surprise there is a variation of outcomes using older ovens that were very imprecise.

Yes! I like to vacation in the summer at Mammoth Lakes (~8000 ft ~2400m) and coffee is a bit of a problem. I like weak coffee and compensate for altitude by adding more grounds, but it's really not the same.

Are you criticizing something other than what is in this article? This article fully rejects the immunity debt hypothesis. The article suggests that covid infections cause immunity amnesia similar to other known viruses. This is based on sh

The article says "safest roads," but the statistic used to demonstrate that is deaths per 100K people rather than deaths per kilometer driven. Seems to me the latter would be a much better metric for the safety of the physical roa

No. Most tests were underground after the first decade or so once the effects of fallout were better understood. Plus underground testing reduces the affected radius and conserves area for additional testing. Also note that most tests were

This is good stuff to have "in the toolbox," however habitually organizing structs this way is premature optimization. Much better to sensibly organize the fields and ignore alignment entirely unless you have a really good reason

FreeBSD's implementation of FILE is a nice object-oriented structure which anyone could derive from. Super-easy to make FILE point to a memory buffer or some other user code. I used that a bunch a long time ago. Obviously making FILE o

Conflating "hype" with the "business cycle" is not a good choice. The content is interesting reading once you move past that. The business cycle would likely exist in the absence of emotional choices. Part of it is that

Under the "adjusted for established risk factors" they do not list an adjustment for age. I don't understand that -- doesn't age also correlate with insomnia frequency and cardiovascular disease?
