> The point of the "x2" modes is that they use the second pair of lanes that would otherwise go unused. Thank you for answering a question I didn't know I had

While this is a good long-term heuristic, I'd describe the upper rungs of government as more cynical on matters of science and theology than a typical fundie. The only relevant dif…

For a country that has been a "brain magnet" for a good century, a "brain drain" might just be "talented people from wherever choosing to go somewhere else". Case in point: an EE I…

A friend in a prestigious European university said that applications were up in basically all fields

> Why would this be news? Mostly because international litigation is, let's say, fraught issues (as in "good luck!")

I mean, could be accurate if they deliver the drones broken

One weird analgesic/antipyretic is metamizole/dipyrone[1]. It's banned in the US and some of Western Europe (and prescription-only in other countries). Yet it's by far the most use…

Big difference for ffmpeg especially (but I imagine for curl too): it's not just one guy in Nebraska. Seems to have a very healthy community of devs involved in it.

Yup! And their whole social media “thing” is doing these kinds of on-topic analysis of (mostly consumer) devices

> USG has not deleted and re-issued their USD even once so far afaik. Other countries do it more often. Interesting side note: they did it once, just after the ratification of the …

Also never seen one here in Brazil FWIW

And beyond pricing strategy, there are people who feel that a fair price is intrinsic to the product (e.g. the amount of work that goes into it). For example, it's pretty common in…

As agoose77 said on another comment, Github probably disabled the whole LFS (Large File Storage) for that repo

I'm pretty sure Github disabled image downloads for that repo in the last few minutes.

While I agree with most of what you've said, I'm not sure I see a use-case for the distinction between Hyphen, Minus and Hyphen-Minus. Specifically, with having all three. If I wer…

There are a few answers to my question now, if you're still curious

> such as the (in)famous evaluate polynomial instruction, POLY. What CPU has this instruction and where can I learn more about it?

As a Brazilian, I'm here to tell you: that's how it starts. If this isn't curbed, you'll have a presidential candidate thoroughly linked with them in ~20 years

I kept reading the post and had a growing feeling of “oh my god, it's like Perl but MORE.” Only when I got to the end I saw the footnote that it's indeed Perl 6

Having lived in São Paulo most of my life, I'd like to corroborate this. The groups tagging buildings generally have nothing to do with (other) crimes. The only unsettling part was…

The choice of bananas as a benchmark seems really bad given that the US invaded and supported coups throughout Latin America specifically to keep the price of bananas low. > The id…

I've been reading up on Soviet Rocket history and both Kurolev and Glushko were sent to Gulags for suspicion of organizing against the government. On the other hand they did do dom…

On the scale that the CIA said the average citizen of the USSR ate better than their counterpart in the US[1], while still having a lot of science and engineering going on. Materia…

Nitpick: Pix is free between people. Companies pay ~1% of the transaction

The first version I heard went through a long diatribe on how “the US” (implying NASA) spent a long time and a million dollars creating a pen that would work in space and the punch…
