Could this be in any way related to the strobing effects (and afterimages / discrete tracers) of LSD and other psychedelics? (see also http://psychedelic-information-theory.com/The…

You're kidding right? https://i.imgur.com/GapKBh1.png And I know from experience living in that area that Google Maps is lacking a great many of the local kebab shops.

"generally absolutely ridiculous" Did you look at the map? It's nearly all things with a place name in the product name. For example, "Welsh Beef". Why is it reasonable for a consu…

Am I just misremembering, or was there a time where the only way to register a .je was direct through island networks? I used to live there, and recall the domains always being a b…

Isn't this more of an argument that we shouldn't necessarily treat everything we observe, rather than that we should observe less? I get that screening may not be worth the cost, b…

Is there any reason why these devices can't have a USB-C connector on one side, and a USB-A connector on the other? Being able to keep just one single token around and knowing I ca…

Setting up accounts for the first time is a pain here, but most natives do that when they're a child. Once you already have one account, setting up subsequent accounts with other b…

Although I agree with the aims of the project, trying to understand it leads you down a rabbit hole of complexity that ultimately never pays off. Ontology, vocabulary, RDFa, OWL, F…

Same experience here in the UK. Started out poor, but now just as good as Royal Mail.

Not GP, but my level was 8 nmol/L in the middle of summer. No medical explanation could be found for why I was so deficient, and I get at least 1hr sunlight every day during my dai…

We're using Chrome Headless inside Docker to produce thousands of PDF reports from an Angular/D3 web app. It works very well, but there are some gotchas with regard to the Chrome R…

Can we know what humans are thinking?

Try looking at the technology used by the software you enjoy using the most. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Granary Square and More London are in areas that don't tend to have that much of the issues you mentioned. Canary Wharf is busy in the week because it's full of skyscrapers. But I …

Most large appliances in Europe, even the cheap ones, will have some claim on the packaging like 5-15 year guarantee. However for the cheaper ones, once you try to actually use the…

I agree with you, but there doesn't really seem to be any native application that occupies the same space as VS Code or Atom. VSCode is not just a text editor like vim or Notepad++…
