    Wow, not in my wildest dreams would I have thought that such a deep dive into Klingon music theory exists. This is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

    Maybe Apple competitors should start a campaign: "Only RAM can". (paraphrasing the famous car industry’s slogan "There is no replacement for displacement")

    Nice site. Found it a bit counter-intuitive that the selected airline button has a black border while it has a blue blue border in its unselected state. I would have expected it to…

    There are some nice Lisp related comics on xkcd, e.g. https://xkcd.com/224/ and https://xkcd.com/297/ .

    I used SQL a lot when working in the financial industry many years ago. Our "use-cases" were questions like "why did the P/L go down?" or "why did the risk position increase?". The…

    I am not a mathematician either and only read the “Quick Intro” but that left me with the following question: What happens if I replace the Earth’s populations with that of France …

    An open letter from Mars. “Dear Earth, it came to my attention that you are running a website called “marssucks.com” where you state some not so nice things about me. While I think…

    Had to think of that Simpson's episode where MacGyver appears and says something like "Don't thank me, thank the gravitational pull of the moon". Well, it seems that that line wasn…
