This is crackpottery, right? All the links on that page point to other theories “debunking” general relativity and some “Electric Universe” fanfic.

You just reminded me of my own mapping annoyance. Apple Maps, while navigating, will keep zooming the map as I approach my destination. The scale keeps changing! For a lot of areas, this makes it possible to glance at the map, see that my d

I don’t know. I’m assuming I should install jq (or see if I already have it?) Here’s the problem I have: I don’t often have to format unformatted JSON, but when I do, it’s almost always an error message I’m trying to parse in order to track

I also snarked a bit when I saw your word count example, but immediately reversed course when I saw the JSON formatting one-liner. I will use this. I will use the hell out of it. Thanks! RIP Bram.

Maybe, and kinda. From a NYT opinion piece[0] a few years ago: > But “Cops” cameras, of course, are not news cameras, so unlike a traditional news crew, the shows’ producers have to obtain the written legal consent of every suspect whos

For the swaying buildings, you'd almost certainly not get enough power out of it to make it worth the cost and additional complexity to install. For roads, whatever power you generate from the traffic would be less than the additional

Don't be too hard on yourself. I know someone who was born in 1988 who quickly realized it's a bad idea to have a username that ends in '88'. If they can avoid it, then these GenXers born in 1969 can :)

Yes. This distinction drives me up a wall. The way I see it, all addictive substances are psychologically addictive[0]. Some are also physically addictive. Addiction, by definition, is a psychological phenomenon. For recreational drugs,

I think parent is pointing out the unnecessary “for one year” part. What is the purpose of that? I assume that this turbine should be able to supply those 36,000 households for an arbitrary amount of time, not just one year.

I agree with all of this. Though I do believe Apple would put up a fight—if it comes down to it they’d follow the law and keep selling phones. We have examples of this from previous attempts to weaken encryption. The FBI’s San Bernardino ca

Nobody is talking about morals here. Its bad for business for Apple to capitulate to the UK. It's bad for business for them to not capitulate to China. And iPhones ceasing to be sold in the UK would probably be all it takes for publi

Same reason fuzzy Big Foot photos and fuzzy Chupacabra photos don’t prove anything, despite earnest testimony from those who took them.

Yes to your edit. And also very much agreed on how the “alt” flags just defile the one that we’re supposed to be united under.

Someone posted a Chemical Safety Board video here a few days ago, and I’ve been watching them ever since. From the dozen-or-so that I’ve seen, human error has consistently been the smallest contributing factor out of the typical five identi

Yes, economical is always important. In this case, we’re comparing a 231m deep unit with the “boring” existing design, and finding it less economical than the current designs.

None of your assessment matters regarding how big a deal it actually was. My mom didn’t give a damn about backslashes and my dad had zero use for seeing hidden files. The “state of the art” in 1995 was for nerds doing nerd stuff, Windows 95

I have nothing to add, just wanted to say I think this is the best-written explanation I’ve come across for why I like both ligatures and good syntax highlighting.

This is a two part system. There's the relay under the hood, and a keypad plugged into the cigarette lighter port. When you put the correct code in, the device will induce the voltage fluctuations that tell the under-hood relay to clos
