I don't think "natural" is used metaphorically. If you had an accurate simulation of the human hand you could show that one of the directions minimizes energy usage and damage to your hand, and I think it's the one we us

I think it does support it, like this uv pip install --system requests but it's more typing. If I type 5 characters per second, making me also type "uv --system" is the same as adding 2 seconds of runtime to the actual

For running scripts on my personal computer I really don't care for all the dependency management stuff. I just want a single, globally installed latest version of a library, like what pip does. I've never had the problem of an ol

Wikipedia says 30% of 3.5 million are "nomadic or semi-nomadic", which would be 6 people to a yurt. I couldn't figure out what percentage of the country was done, but if he did 270,559/37,258,617 zoom 17 tiles then there

It seems like a waste that you didn't use the 89,259 yurts that are already outlined in OpenStreetMap as input, though you would've probably had issues aligning the outlines with google maps imagery https://taginfo.geof

VS Code used 40-60 bytes per line, so a file with 15 million single character lines balloons from 30 MB to 600+ MB. kilo uses 48 bytes per line on my 64-bit machine (though you can make it 40 if you move the last int with the other 3 ints i

You can upload your own panoramic images to Street View, people do this for hiking trails. But I'm sure 99% of streetview imagery is Google-sourced and Geoguessr might not even use user-submitted imagery. https://www.google.

I don't like the 80% option because every time I'm leaving the house for extended periods, going hiking or traveling I think "is it worth it to go through 3 settings screens to take an extra 15% charge with me?" 15% is a
