Game is fun, sure the mechanics aren't like real transfers but this appears to be a quick reflex challenge, not a lesson in astrophysics. The only gripe I have is all the flashes and distractions if I go to fast. I don't want ANY

fme, it's only kind of inconvenient. By the time the scene gets to the point where join-in-progress is disabled it's complete chaos anyway. Might as well restart the scene. That said I haven't played any of the more intricate

If you want to fly around galaxies and feel insignificant, Space Engine is pretty good for that. It's not a true simulation, as most things are procedurally generated unless an addon is installed, but it certainly captures the scale of

At the very least it's preventing funds from going to other competitors.

I'm guessing they already had the plug (I myself have a small stockpile of extra Z-wave/wifi/Zigbee devices for when I inevitably need/want to hook something up), so there wasn't a need to buy something else.

Just guessing here, but I think the vertical scaling might be for translating some of the top-down images they have. If you take a look at the photo below, Pluto appears to have pretty rough terrain. I didn't find anything about post-p

Whitespace is important for a myriad of reasons, so the implementation makes sense to me. However, I would love to see git have configuration surrounding syntax awareness. That's a huge undertaking, though, but one can dream.

I think emojis are easily overused, but I certainly don't mind when they're used to convey simple, universally understood meaning (such as reacting with a "me too" in a bug report). Stuff like gitmoji, though, drive me n

I've made it through about 75% of the book and have never gotten the sense that they think everything discussed in the book is something you should always do. Each pattern discussed has a summary of pros and cons. While they may be a b

The concentration of tartaric acid in each individual grape is unpredictable, along with each individual dog's tolerance level to tartaric acid. The only thing that's certain is that anything with tartaric acid is potentially toxi

Heavier than you think, probably. I tried looking up laser altimeters suitable for moon landings and was met with a much higher than anticipated amount of complexity. One thing was clear: the higher the altimeter needs to work, the heavier

iirc it's the concentration of tartaric acid that's toxic to dogs. You got lucky your dog didn't like grapes! A lot of dogs will just eat them, btw, so don't think they all will instinctively avoid grapes.

Ah, yes, normal bodily functions and ways to deal with them in technical settings is "disgusting". Very thoughtful insight, "thank you".

I'm sure they do use a prefab thermoelectric assembly model that they designed their case around. It's usually cheaper.

I think lack of in-person collab is the biggest drawback to remote work, but only because a lot of people still haven't adapted to or accepted the tools available. > If you're an engineer with <5 years experience you probabl

Sorry, it was a given. We don't know. I don't know. I do enjoy postulating for this particular incident, though.

This is what I do. Dealing with the uncertainty of the delivery apps as a customer in my area is approaching the levels of nightmare it is as a driver in others. I didn't keep track when I was using them but let's just say it was

Safety first doesn't mean "don't do anything unsafe," it has a broad meaning. With your interpretation I suppose it could mean if you're going to do something, be sure to consider your safety tradeoffs first.

It's almost as if we need to be actively parenting and engaged with our children! Who'd've thought! Sarcasm aside, making informed decisions on how to do those things can be a challenge.

Well, given how disappointing the rest of their AP lineup performs in real world scenarios (from my anecdotal experience, ofc), it won't need more than 2.5 GbE. Probably barely exceeds 1 Gbps.
