    It’s also the worst investment ever - if the same money was invested in solar farms and research, we could have actual world changing energy sources right now .

    You can use whatever notation you want for your own work, but documenting with, at least, formal variable definitions would be a significant boon for math literacy.

    Thanks. I’d love to see automatic pagination as well so it builds full window columnized “pages”.

    Is there a html/css only way to automatically “columnize” text into multiple columns of reasonable width?

    Make sure your folders are configured for “general” files and not “photos” or other metadata consuming options. I had a similar issue and this resolved it.

    Fully agree. A slow skeleton page is worse than a slow spinner. Neither are good. Give me simple HTML!

    I had an Abloy Protec2 euro lock on my front door and was happy with the mechanism at first, but it did not last. The lock failed in the locked position after 3 years triggering si…

    I built a similar guitar pedal using a spring tank that mounts under my pedalboard. It’s such a charming effect, with limitations that make it fun to tinker and push.

    Are there browser extensions that simply disable all future requests from being sent from the immediate tab?

    I think those are very different. .Net 6 (formerly core) is specifically branched to get away from being tied to windows only. In fact the initial versions lacked many of the windo…

    C# and .net 6 are not windows-centric.

    I don’t see how anyone can have this opinion. If you are producing code for which VS was designed (.net for example) it is obviously and definitely one of the greatest IDEs ever pr…

    I’m sure this is not an original theory, but when I saw the device i immediately thought that it may be a tool to sort / check the size of coins. Each size lines up to a known gold…

    Or, you know, just wire in the doorbell button and be done?

    Windows has become truly user hostile, I went back to it several years ago, but have now moved away from it again (wherever possible).

    I maintain a similar system, where a variety of companies submit files that get processed through multiple services - it is astounding how ridiculous people’s naming of files can b…

    Definitely need the assembly to ensure that the compiler is producing like for like code.

    Thanks kindly - I wish they distilled some of these goals into their fundraising copy.

    Perhaps, but if there was ever an ad target that could be categorically labeled as “knowledge seekers” it should be Wikipedia donors.

    That is great to hear! Please promote that they need to give their donors (I.e people who are categorically knowledge seekers) tangible details and data in their fundraising copy!

    Appreciate the links. They should include more factuals and vision in their fundraising copy. All of those are great options for context, but I specifically would like to see logic…

    See I genuinely wouldn’t mind a reminder email, if that email gave me any information (or links to it) but instead it gives me no context for their costs or how donations will be u…

    Do you mean in the ad-effectiveness sense that many donors wouldn’t care or would be lost?

    They specifically state in the email “Imagine if everyone gave? We could transform the way knowledge is shared online.” But they give zero indication of that vision.
