The exact same comment could be made of Atlanta's roads. How did we get here from the post about uv?
A huge value in having authors upload the original source, is it divorces the content from the presentation (mostly). That the original sources were available was sufficient for a large majority of the corpus to be…
Not a talk show, but the pilot season of Mythbusters tackled this. They registered some false positives and the test manufacturer refused to admit it was possible.
I'd agree that the second book has the highest cringe per page. The Luo Ji character was laughably bad.
I spent way too long trying to find a way to read this without making an account on X, so here's the recap: An illustrator accidentally mislabelled a quasi-satellite named 2002-VE68 as a moon of Venus called “ZOOZVE" on…

Having also found the hyperventilating approach effective, I just want to note for other readers that hyperventilating before breath-holding is extremely dangerous when swimming or diving. This is heavily emphasized in…
Something I've learned recently is that the convention of when to use angle brackets and when to use quotes is not prescribed by the standard but instead is implementation-defined.
I don't think they are referring to the Reddit news, I think they are referring to the ongoing disagreement between the SO Inc staff and volunteer moderators and resulting strike over the new policy on generated…
You're definitely right that some of the slowdown is due to physical wear. I have had the battery replaced once, about 2 years ago back when Apple was offering it at a reduced price, but it's back to "significantly…
I’m now to the point where I frequently have first party apps crash on my iPhone 7, plus the screen has phantom touch issues. I really don’t want to replace it though.
Clicking the auto-link of my address on an iOS device will open a route in Apple Maps to an address with a different street name on the wrong U.S. state. Apple Maps has come a long way, but it still doesn’t cut it.
The GNU Make documentation is excellent, and you can get t a long way with handwritten Make files, but when you move beyond a few translation units that have different needs, it be becomes much easier to maintain things…
Hmm. You can search episode names and show notes on Pocket Casts on a per-show but not a global basis. I guess that is a shortcoming.
Pocket Casts has a whole “Discover” tab with both algorithmic and human-curated recommendations, as well as browsing by category. I’m not sure what more you could ask for except for maybe user-generated shareable…
I’m so glad someone else pointed this particular case out! When I was a first year university student but still claimed as a dependent on my parents taxes, the accountant who prepared the returns wasn’t even aware that…
Well IRS Free File isn’t one single service. It’s a coalition of private tax prep services that have agreed with the IRS to provide their software for free to taxpayers meeting certain constraints. The insight into how…
Yeah that does seem a little low. US News and World report has average in-state tuition at $10,423/yr [1] [1]: https://www.usnews.com/object/image/00000183-138c-db49-a3a3-...
Sounds like you need to go to a sporting event in Chicago to find out…
ClassPass is one example I recently ran into. I’ve already bought credits for the month and am planning to cancel my current plan, but if I do I immediately forfeit my (prepaid!) credits.
I suddenly feel very old.
The space-station themed Fry’s store near Houston, TX recently closed. I only ever visited it in the twilight years where there was so little inventory in such a large footprint that it seemed like a front for…
I don’t want to sound rude, but I’m shocked that you have a 4 year CS degree and never heard of BGP. Does your degree predate widespread use of the internet? I went to a fairly average state school and both networking…
fwiw, I see a lot of papers on IEEE Xplore that are presented as reflowable HTML on the page with the option for a PDF, presumably generated from the same source.
You’re absolutely correct, which is why I chose to phrase my post to say that the parent was taking a truth (women are increasingly choosing career over kids) and expressing it in what I consider to be bad faith. I…
