What are the advantages to putting them between the rails, where you need trains to stop running in order to access them? If it's about using wasted land, why not put them beside the rails, which would make access…
I used to read it every week, and always liked the fact they stated their biases upfront - "This newspaper believes XYZ". Now I just live under a rock, and don't read any news.
Totally agree. Programming is not art. Does my company pay thousands of engineers to make art? I think not! We're paid to solve a problem that the customer has.
I used to use that a lot, but now would favour bowline, for ease of tying and untying. Less beginner-friendly, though.
Knowing common knots is not just useful because they are handy, but they also represent a common toolkit - when sailing with someone, if I see they tie a certain thing with a specific knot, I can do likewise. When I see…
Depends what you're doing. My favourite knot is the bowline. Non-slip loop, very strong, easy to tie, easy to undo. Can be used for tying two ropes together, ropes to things. Other useful ones (especially for sailing) *…
All my university (Oxford, UK) exams were in-person and had written. I had 6 exams over 6 days in 2012, in which my entire undergraduate degree was examined. It's not easy, but I think that method is just as good (or…
If hair greying was mostly caused by UV damage, I would expect that the pattern of greying would be even, and begin on the top of the head. In contrast (based on my own unscientific observations!) greying typically…
When most people think of age-related hair greying (which you referenced in your original post), they think of the phenomenon whereby hair follicles stop producing pigments that colour hair. This is distinct from UV…
After a quick skim, that article seems to be talking about something other than typical age-related greying. More photobleaching.
I've not heard that grey hair is sun damage. Do you have any sources for that?
I really recommend reading "Ravens in Winter" by Bernd Heinrich https://jake-reich.co.uk/blog/17

Images like this show how specifically the antibody binds to the antigen. Generally, the ideal is to have very specific binding. As such, this type of image (Western blot) would only have single bands in any vertical…
Travel, adventure, camaraderie, to name a few. At university I started down the path of joining the infantry as an officer. At first it was great fun - getting paid to go camping on weekends away from university. But…
My home wifi doesn't reach my side the bed from the router downstairs. Best way to prevent doomscrolling.
A central package cooldown is not really any different to individual cooldowns. The main reason for the cooldown is so security companies can find the issues, not that unwitting victims will find them. One problem of…
I have cut myself once, and only once with a sharp knife. I was about 7 years old, and my grandfather gave me a new (sharp!) Swiss army knife.
> It's basically rabid conservation and tragedy of the commons writ large How is this like "tragedy of the commons"?
Call it what you want, but a new life stage begins when we have serious responsibility for another human. For some this comes early, like a "child" looking after a sick parent. For others (like me) this comes with…
AWS Graviton and Microsoft Cobalt are arm-based.
> if I had my way, job interviews would be exclusively audio only. The problem just shifts. People with attractive voices would then have an advantage.
Something people often don't consider is the limited resources for doing science - time, money, etc. The positive side to "bias" is intuition. This is where a bias ("I'm pretty sure it'll turn out to work like XYZ, so…
This would just be impractical. Nothing would ever get done. Too many potential experiments.
I buy 95% of my books second hand. Secondhand book stores are also usually much more interesting than even good new stores.
