    I suppose the Georgian calendar includes this gap officially? Or did the catholic world just jump from system to system? If it includes the gap officially, then yea, error is the r…

    It’s not even a level thing[0]. I think the physical advantages that come with male puberty are significant even at 14-15. https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-1…

    The intention is to make editing easy and quick on slow and memory deficient computers. This is how for example editing a pdf with form field values can be so fast. It’s just appen…

    There is something deep in this observation. When I reflect on how I write code, sometimes it’s backwards. Sometimes I start with the data and work back through to the outer functi…

    I think that whole section of the post was "For example, in Kotlin," presumably these are true in that language.

    I was under the impression these offices closed during the pandemic and the return to office order is bringing people back into those places. If that’s the case I don’t think this …

    The automation should be setting flags on videos. Users should have preferences for opting in or out of flags with reasonable defaults. If there is a jurisdictional requirement in …

    I have a planned trip to work around. I want to make sure those are booked, and allocate the rest optimally. I suppose this is the same problem as having extra days to allocate.

    I used to do something like this all the time with C/C++ compiler tests. I tried lots of fancy tools and stuff, but I kept going back to: expand all macros and retokenize to one to…

    I used chrome to confirm whether my DOM was upgraded, and saw the same result. The graphs were very synched up.

    Env vars over-share and files depend on local permissions. We should have a capabilities -like way to send secrets between processes. e.g., decrypt and expose on a Unix socket with…

    I wonder if this coating would help solar cells avoid issues with small shadows causing the array to sag, by dispersing the shadow.

    I like the idea of autolayout like flex for routing wires. There needs to be things like busses etc., feels like there is something there that could be flexed. Problem is the multi…

    This reminds me of an old idea I’ve toyed with. In a logic class in university we talked about how some logic is time dependent, like A is true 2 hours after B becomes true. I was …

    Is anyone aware of a model that is trained to give photos a quality rating? I have decades of RAW files sitting on my server that I would love to pass over and tag those that are w…

    I’ve seen what happens many times when the abstraction fails, and people don’t understand the guts. The people who know the abstraction replace it with something based in the concr…

    I suspect in cases like this the dog is hearing something you don't in the environment and has associated it with treat time, creating the expectation. If you reconfigure NTP to us…

    The land with cattle on are the most productive, as they get quite a compliment of natural fertilizer from the cattle. I would say cattle do not spoil the land, but improve it. Thi…

    Two things: - Grazers improve the capacity of grass to carbon capture - Some land is ONLY able to grow grass. The alternative is desertification, and so livestock is the only optio…

    I suspect that because of conservation of energy, methane is a highly reactive over the short term, but ultimately an insignificant element in the big picture IF you ignore the mas…

    I feel like it might be possible with dataflow analysis. Stepping through the regex maintaining a liveness set or something like that. Sort of like computing exemplar inputs, but w…

    imo, it amounts to revisiting concepts once more general principles are found — and needed. For instance, you learn the alphabet, and it's hard. the order is tricky. the sounds are…

    Exactly right. Biometrics are more like usernames than passwords. They are on display for all, and immutable. I should be able to change my password. Ideally username too, but not …
