@1 the part of the salt being an essential ingredient did escape me so thanks for pointing it out. It does make the whole thing more believable because then maybe (if it works) you can have more clouds for a fraction of…
Under the conservative prime minister Scott Morrison, the government has yet to strengthen its climate pledge under the 2015 Paris agreement, as many nations have done in the past year. Morrison has personally ruled out…
No we're not engineers because we find it OK when the poll results get displayed before you even vote. Engineers would study a problem including user experience and user expectations, hence only tell results after the…
That's not "opposition to the science", that's a sane response to a madman's proposal to intentionally f*k with the biosphere at the grandest scale.
> solar radiation management first [...] Marine cloud brightening you mean, like, throwing a spanner into a machinery we hardly understand and see whether "it sticks"? Give me a hundred planets and start the trials!
It would perhaps be a good thing if one could write SQL clauses in their logical ordering; as [1] explains: * The FROM clause: First, all data sources are defined and joined * The WHERE clause: Then, data is filtered as…
Also worth to understand and remember, from the linked thread: "digitisation does not = preservation. All they’ve done is replace a long term, resource-light asset with a short term and resource-heavy one that doesn’t…
IOW similar to https://github.com/goodeggs/teacup and a few other libraries that produce markup from inside a programming language with minimalized syntactic fuzz?
Are those citation quotes you're using around "experts" or scare quotes? The article literally says that the tunnel has been called a death trap by someone on Reddit. The word 'expert' does not appear in the text. What…
It looks like any input is interpreted as "draw something"
Æsthetics do play a rôle here
Yet linguistically, it really doesn't hold up. Words are built up from phonemes, which undergo some alterations depending on their order and the context to become the phones (as in sounds, not telephones) which are…

The proliferation of field types has made data more difficult to transfer or share data between different applications and generates confusion. ITOP has only two fundamental data types: numeric and character, and…
to be fair, in case the dependencies are pegged to specific known-good versions and are bundled into one or a few files then two concerns with dependencies go away, namely, insanely deep and wide file system trees and…
What you say applies to the Kowloon New Territories north of Boundary Street and the outlying islands (and it wasn't 100 but 99 years but I digress).[1] It does not apply to Kowloon south of Boundary Street and Victoria…

This doesn't sound right. First of all, I'm not complaining about TeX being Turing-complete, what I'm saying is the syntax is unnecessarily hairy because TeX's syntax is Turing complete, meaning there is no static…
See, that might be cultural background or whatnot, I don't know, but some people find those cartoons to be a nice touch, and they admire the clarity of exposition of The TeXbook. I'm the proud owner of the entire 6 vol…

"he was an utter asshole" is my take on it. See my earlier comment.
Just read this guy's vita. An entire long life of profit-oriented road rage, always using the law and presumably his connections to go after like everyone else for minor copyright and similar offenses, striving to make…
Yeah that's like Louis and the rest of the family pretending to eat and enjoy Stewie's sand cake (complete with plastic toys for decoration): "Mmmh yummie, Stewie is a great cook"
That kind is quite entertaining and you should take him serious. His complaints are as a rule fact-based as he has sets he discusses right in front of him to show and tell. He does highlight what there is to highlight…
This is wrong, he called himself Held der Steine. To suggest that because a solitary small time shop owner uses a fully generic image of a toy brick will cause the mighty Lego brand to get lost is bizarre. To be sure…
