I would imagine it's because your distance to the satellites changes more when you move along the ground than when you move up and down the same amount.

I think there are some tricks to ensure a list in pwsh for these sort of operations. I vaguely recall ending variable assignments with a comma to avoid this.

Pretty sure you can only write off gambling losses to offset gambling winnings, which entirely makes sense. That way you only pay taxes on your net winnings for the year.

You can hold down a key (Ctrl I think) to force snapping to the "world grid" now. That makes everything you place line up even halfway across the map.

That doesn't really follow. I have the legal authority to pay a junk yard to smash my car into a tiny cube, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be protected from auto body shops sell…

I thought vivid dreaming was an indicator of sleep interruption, not quality sleep. IIRC dreaming happens during our deepest sleep when you would not normally be easily woken up. R…

They are worried about someone copying a mistyped email from the first form field and pasting it into the "confirm email" field, thus making the confirmation field pointless. I wou…

The remote port forwarding example seems wrong. It's specifying the loopback address which would be pointing to vuln-server (where we are connecting via SSH) and not internal-web, …

My local cable company gets around this by strategically pricing everyone towards using their new cable boxes which are essentially digital TV over DOCSIS internet. The prices for …

I hear this defense a lot, but isn't it kind of problematic that a platform makes you go out of your way to tell them you prefer not to see soft-core porn? I didn't even know TikTo…

This is basically the plot of "The Net" starring Sandra Bullock. A group of hackers steals her identity and creates a new one for her in various systems to cause the police to beli…

I also live in Chicago and use CityMapper almost exclusively now. It gives way more detailed estimates for multiple transfers between bus and train and generally comes up with more…

Surely almost everyone does address standardization on user inputted fields, right? You'd be silly not to do this.

I think this is splitting hairs. Would it still be a recall if a mechanic drives to your house to fix a mechanical problem?

If you buy the game on Steam but play using a Quest don't you count as a Steam user? It would launch using SteamVR.

That sounds backwards to me. Don't you mean Y axis is time and X axis is frequency? Otherwise how could it play from bottom to top?

Aren't something like 1 in 20 or so people color blind? I'd hardly consider that as an edge case. That's roughly the odds of being over 6ft tall in the US.

I think some AC to DC transformers bond the AC neutral and the DC negative.

I think the idea of "everything is about half its life" is to account for survivorship bias in longevity. The only units that make it to the 95th percentile lifetimes clearly got l…

For what it's worth most of the "packages" on chocolatey are just instructions for downloading those same installers and executing them in their respective silent modes. No one is …

I think the false assumption you are making is that the "average" movie is good. There are a lot of trash movies out there.

The number of parity drives is often fixed, so the odds of the number of failures being higher than the number of parity drives goes up as you increase drive count.

I've been doing "home dir is a repo" for a while now too and I'm always surprised when people think it's weird/dangerous. I wrote a few guides with tricks on how to do it on my blo…

Presumably the secret sharing algorithm is more resistant to brute forcing if you have one less than the required pieces. They solve opposite problems

It's kind of a pain, but possible. You have to redirect it as a generic USB device. I wrote a guide here: https://queensidecastle.com/guides/use-a-yubikey-remotely-ov...
