I guess this is popular because of the 'oh-so-stupid-government' vibes. Yet (almost) everybody buys the cheap meat (which the non-alfalfa farmer is also selling in reality) subsidized by not growing alfalfa. And when the subsidiar

The easy one first: The Matt Levine piece quotes the story linked here, so he's definitely not the original source... And then, yes: If you can make more money by not using your big resistor than actually using it, then economically yo

You softened your statement with 'not always' to which I would add, that different people might be looking for different levels of 'understanding' ;)

Jake VanderPlas also has an article on Understanding the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram [1] which I can recommend if you want to get into the details (it also includes a treatment of fourier-pairs + convolution to explain the 'artifacts&#x27

It appears that the ruling regarding the rapes was not so straight forward [1], certainly not something that you can use as a one-line argument. There are also other articles describing what presumably happened there in 2020. Regarding the

I‘m acting a bit naïve of course ;) The comments are simply dominated by the root comment, which does not even try to put it into context of the linked post. On top, it‘s a comment riding the outrage wave. There’s no contextualization (a nu

Looking into the situation in the UK specifically, I found a description of the potentially underlying issues [1] and those are indeed worrisome. I still fail to see why one would raise it in the way GP did to comment on the TOR post. Other

Maybe [the UK is not on the list] because this article focuses on technical aspects of overcoming blocking of the global internet in those countries that benefit from improvements to the TOR infrastructure. Maybe there are no problems circu

Now I’m thinking that I have missed the point of the article. I didn’t read it as an introduction to vector spaces, but rather that the introduction served as to give an intuition how functions may be viewed as vectors (going back to the ar

Do these donations also support the operation of nodes? If not, how to support the network (other than running a node myself)?

I switched from MacOS (from a 12 year old first generation retina MBP) to Arch and started out with hyprland. It was really nice initially while I mostly used terminals, a browser or launched Steam. But when I needed to do some paperwork (t

Then we might have reached the point to discuss whether it’s enough to lift the worst-off to some minimum where they can survive or whether we’re in a position now to also enable participation on broad scale. Right now it looks like wealth

I don‘t get which implications you derive from the changing needs over one’s life. In all of those phases, safety and health of yourself and beloved ones are likely at the top of your needs. Is there a contradiction to your ideals when you

I’m in the process of ditching vscode and for now settled on nvim as the replacement. Currently, I still use Dendron for taking notes. There are some suggestions for companion plugins at the end of the readme - does anyone have additional s

I can‘t help to observe that the shapes in the article can be sorted by color and shape, with each resulting stack being numbered from 1 to 4. Problem solved ;)

Could you elaborate a little on the traceability part, please? If the different steps of a processing chain are distributed via queues, you rather have an overhead in collecting the information in a central place, I would think.

I‘d also rather say that it was about hosting the code for free in the first place and then the pull requests, including the possibility to comment on code in PRs. I use the git cli (instead of some UI / IDE extension) for all interact

I haven’t been there, yet. A friend recommended it, though. Besides a look at the machine, there seem to be a bunch of stories about things they had to solve along the way to build it, e.g. to achieve the precise 3D positioning of the part

Quickly skimming over the links from your profile, I‘m surprised that the non-reality of things might be a challenge to your brain. Cool stuff, will check it out more deeply.

Got it. Yeah, some intuition would make you think that the problem is somehow symmetrical, since other electromagnetic systems don’t have this ‚organic‘ kind of shape.

The issue is that you need to built it twice, so that you can disassemble one to get the count of screws :P
