He says that having the ability to tailor the amount of powder for the size of the load is one of the selling points of powder. But I'm guessing most people would much rather waste the few cents of savings in exchange for not needing t

I enjoy Sonic Youth a fair bit, but in the majority of cases find Thurston Moore completely uncompelling as a singer.

Glyphosate is great for killing the invasive Tree of Heaven which is rampant in my area. Really the only time I've needed to use it personally

I'm not trying to be harsh, but it genuinely sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about

It really is jarring that this is about the actual justification for a war, and his response basically boils down to "well we don't know they haven't done it or if they might in the future".

Funnily enough I've had a very similar bug occur in an entirely separate redis library. It was a pretty troubling failure mode to suddenly start getting back unrelated data

I do a similar thing, except for making gifs: if [ -z $3 ] then echo "usage: $0 file start_seconds duration [scale=600] [fps=15] [crop]" exit 1 fi if [ -z $4 ] then SCALE=600 els

I'm not sure bashrc tweaks completely qualify but considering it involves probably the most convoluted shell script I've ever had to come up with I'll plug https://github.com/jkern888/bash-dir-collapse .

Yep this is how we've been doing it at my house too, and results are great.

For your first claim, I wish people would stop talking about feminism in this way precisely because it is such a generally accepted stance. The better question is in what ways does one believe men and women aren't structurally equal?

This also seemed weird to me. From the tone of the article I was expecting that they never even replaced the phone booths or something like that. But it sounds like they were replaced within a month, which seems fairly prompt considering th

The comparison to Abu Ghraib is about the low level military officers there, and how they took the entirety of the blame for their bad actions when what they were doing was pretty clearly encouraged by a lot of the chain of command. That sa

It seems to me less a question of how social the various STEM fields are than that CS is more closely tied into the larger internet culture. Especially for young men I can see this making them more insular as a group even if they're, i

It sounds click-baity and is probably making people think of other internet junk like "you'll never believe this crazy trick to do X". It's also just an unnecessary sentence since the reader is already expecting that if

It seems like this would be true if everything were working perfectly and there was a gradient of purchasing options across price/expiration. As it is consumers really don't have any choice wrt expiration date since as far as I&#x

When he was doing the same work by hand he was producing data with errors in it. All he's done is achieve the same error rate he had before. I don't see why the fact he could trivially reduce the errors to 0 is relevant when from
