Someone could add an approximation range syntax if they derived their own fuzzy dates specification. I've been considering the problem of fuzzy dates for a project idea. Maybe something like "..<" could join the first and

I work 7-hour days, but I might work 2 or 3 hours during that time. A lot of the time I find the work unbearable and can only bring myself to do it in short intervals. When the task is interesting, involves my skills, and I'm making pr

I wonder how the ASKAP dataset will compare when it's rendered as an image

by macu 6y ago
Approximation for the ASKAP images with help from Wolfram Alpha, .83 spheres is 10.4 steradians, so 903*70 billion is 63.21 trillion pixels, at ~1.65e-13 steradians/pixel, though there may be overlap in the images, unsure. Approximatio

The only thing that gets me is that unlike EI, CERB is not taxed up front, so many low-income Canadians claiming it are going to owe taxes on it next year. I would rather it be taxed up front or tax-free for the recipients. People are reall

This issue came up for me recently when signing up for Audible. You get 1 free audiobook/month but have to verify a credit card before the free trial month. I imagined this was to cut down on users who sign up with throwaway accounts t

I finished the survey and clicked "get my personal results" - email is required to receive the results, but you can "Join" without providing an email.

What is 'UK energy use'? The title should tell what the article is about.

How can they tax sun collection, that is sickening.

The title of this article is missing a crucial "in 2 weeks" that actually gives meaning to 6 miles. I can't believe how poorly articles are titled. Qualifying information takes a few words.

I would love a new text entry method using gloves or finger/toe trackers. For recording thoughts while on the go.

I suggest loading Papier on the new tab page only if it isn't yet open. If it's already open, the new tab page could show frequently visited, bookmarks, and search as before.

We have no idea how many people think they have to give their email in order to keep reading. I've met a handful of very average people who wouldn't see the "X" or know how to react.

Feels like we can imagine how we'll define the future: Government and industry will react in ways we understand to initiatives of our own. They'll be quick to allow any motions that will limit the growth and power of our new compa

I hadn't heard about it till now. I'm not affected because I didn't invest in the feature in any way, or know anyone who did. Yet I can appreciate the "outrage" from the perspective of people who invest in features

I wonder if this keeps people mystified when they visit the news feed, wondering what's beyond the fold and scrolling their hours away.

I've been interested in a conlanging IDE for a long time. Good moment to raise the idea to others' attention? The only general-purpose one I'm aware of is this: http://sulmere.tumblr.com/PolyGlot

I perceive the condensed sentence fragment (as requested for Angular) as a conceptual gist, which is all it really is (a few words to suggest the bigger picture), not a title (each commit is identified by its hash).

Sure. I've been developing it mostly in journals, as I do a ton of writing, and I've been interested in the concept of constructed language since high-school. Currently I have just a big collection of symbols and ideas, but they a

Reminds me of my attitude on banks. I would never recommend a bank to someone unless they asked. I barely know anything about banks, even my own, and I'm in no position to determine another's decisions.
