Serious Sam didn't come out until 2001. How did you play it in 1999?

I find the Hobbit and LOTR terribly boring. But these interpretations are fascinating and delightful.

I love this veiled (but true) insult. That is the core of my love-hate relationship with this site.

Before I make a change in residence or work, I have a plan for continuity of good habits. Sign up for the new gym. Figure out where going will fit into my likely future schedule. Set an explicit period of lapse due to the effort of moving (

I can have them delivered for very little premium. If my co-workers and I pool our orders we can reduce the impact of those deliveries (or rotating pickup), and have more choice about what snacks we get. Donut and coffee clubs (and similar)

Rail was a hugely impactful tool during the US Civil War. I would guess that geography and the demographics of the American west are as much to blame as the relative lack of continental conflict in the rail era.

Yes. And easy. Though I would imagine not as common a practice as it was in the past.

What? I can understand that absolute values aren't very meaningful, as they're probably missing a lot of necessary context. BMI is one metric that doesn't paint a clear picture on its own -- but no doctor would ever rely sole

How do you handle two separate onsites for people that have to travel to get to your office?

For about $100 every 10 years, I'd rather be safer than sorry.

Communication skills are as important as programming skills. It is a super power to be able to communicate clearly and appropriately for the circumstance/audience.

That is as much a technique problem as it is a fastener problem. Use a torque driver if you can. And always bracket the bit with your fingers. If you are straining, something is wrong.

I prefer safety post tuners. You can get accurate ones for cheap and string changes are super fast and easy. Usually enough winding to make for stable tuning. I’ve found slightly over-tightening most locking tuners will break the string. No

I never claimed it did. Further, I don't think there is a dichotomy here. You could have solved your problem in a dozen other ways. You were privileged enough to do it in the way that presumable pleased you most. There is a hint of toy

Having an abundance of light at night was a novelty and a luxury in the past. Definitely toy territory in my book.

Sure, but that end was coming before Tesla was a brand name. The trucking industry is surprisingly innovative, despite overall conservative practices. Go look at Volvo concept trucks over the last few years.

This is a huge question. It depends on so many things. We can make assumptions on viable strategies given Tesla's finances and past behavior. But that still leaves us with a lot of solution space. First you have to accept that the truc

Because of its ubiquity, I would put them on par. However, there are many, many more players in trucking than in aerospace which complicates things.

Tesla will be selling into a very complicated industry. You think enterprise sales of software are hard, just wait. Tesla say their system includes all the functions necessary. I haven't seen a list but I doubt it. Even if they do it w

Most semi-trucks are filled with proprietary technologies. Then more such is layered on by fleets, leasing companies, maintenance providers, etc. Little of it natively works together. The contractual limitations are nuts. From what I recall

A quick search turns up a number of companies to which you can outsource your AR. Not sure what the payment structure looks like.

Would a multiply-rooted tree still be a tree? I thought a single root was part of the definition of a tree. Would it instead be a graph? Sorry for the elementary questions. I'm bad at algorithms and just trying to get a grasp here.

Could you illustrate? I can find plenty of examples of mirroring/reversing a tree (below the root node) but none that really invert it. I haven't even found a definition of what inverting a tree means (aside from some academic pap

by gaustin 11y ago
Nobody in this thread has even been able to define what inverting a tree means. (Reversing or mirroring? Sure.) My search for how to invert a tree led to a bunch of fairly hairy academic papers. If you have a definition, please elucidate.
