Yes - for the high profile journals (Science, Nature): Once it's public, you can forget everything about getting it accepted there.

This is what I miss from (the early) Stack Overflow: often the process of writing up a well-framed question ended up solving the problem. I sometimes put out the question anyway an…

Just to nitpick, in the section after "On the other side, these following guards are more of a “you really shouldn’t do this” variety – much closer to a disabled state in graphical…

Just don't try this on Ryan Air. A good friend got stuck at the airport on a Sunday night after being denied boarding because he waited out the standing line sitting on a bench rig…

It should be trivial to combine ephemeral options with file name options, which seems like it would be the best of both world. With some agreement on mapping (maybe just `%HH` for …

"Gnonom" by Nick Harkaway describes a society that takes this all the way to invasive mind-reading. A very special read.

I completely agree in the game of chicken. Usually I spend the time up to T-3s wondering how the crazy beepers on microwave ovens is still a thing, generations after the novelty ha…

Or just a long pipe where the inertia of the water resists change in motion. This is what causes the "water hammer" effect which is a problem for plumbers, but a great thing for al…

And Norway. Mjøstårnet [0] claims to be the worlds tallest wooden building at 85.4m. [0]: https://www.moelven.com/mjostarnet/

> Identity -- This is a difficult problem. My hope is that in 5 years, I will not have anything in my feeds that have not been signed in a way that I can assign a trust level. Here…

If the Bayer pattern makes you angry, I imagine it would really piss you off to realize that the whole concept encoding an experienced color by a finite number of component colors …

Just as important here: The higher the temperature of the storage medium, the higher the fundamental limit to how much electric energy you can recover. Put differently: If you used…

Please go have a look -- this is really well done with a clear message, good documentation and the call to action implemented very nicely (which is the background for TFA).

I think a lot of it is covered under "New Public Management" [0], which was maybe a result of the financialization happening in the 80's [1]. And I completely GP, having been in or…

> PSA: the "No Tax On Tips" provision expires... My understanding is that this is true for all the Trump handouts: otherwise the ten-year economic outlooks would have cratered. The…

Did you read the article? The author specifically addresses accessibility in multiple places, including taking extra steps to work around browser bugs [0]. [0]: https://lyra.horse/…

Seems an overly pessimistic take. TFA specifically mentions per-cell temperature monitoring, and I would assume there is also per-cell voltage monitors. As long as the controller i…

This is such a great use. Excalidraw does this too [0], and uses a two-level extension, `.excalidraw.png`. [0]: https://excalidraw.com/

> Well right now I am very skeptical, but I think we have somewhat given quantum computing plenty of time (we have given it decades) unless someone can convince me that it is not a…

> Borrowing and taxation are completely different concepts. Unless I am the only idiot who hasn't asked for their tax back with interest. Possible. I get the impression that maybe …

This is exactly it. Especially for the UK offshore projects where sites were auctioned off: All bidders knew that a competitive bid had to aim for an ROI only slightly above market…

Thank you for making this! My initial take was to share this with my son who used to built all kinds of things in Scratch, but I know that the lack of simple install instructions w…

I use a mix of bakers yeast and a wet (1:3) starter/sourdough. Just 2g yeast/kg flour makes a huge difference, even with 150 g starter. My wet sourdough is 1 part flour to 3 parts …

The fact that the post you reply to includes such technical details as frequency-based pricing, indicates that the author has an above-average understanding of the technicalities o…

Agreed: this is the key question. One effort I follow in this direction is Terraform Industries[0] who are building exactly this type of system. Their approach is PV + DCC (Direct …
