1. It's a hobby in your own right. The nasty is not that bad, back in the day the annoying thing was how fiddly it was but the community thought of better ways like etching with a …

Surprisingly many forgeries were exposed due to Calibri, Wikipedia has a short list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibri#In_crime_and_politics I feel like I remember the topic ha…

It's also made by the top contributor to erg (github user mtshiba), and erg is trying to be a compiled typed python. If you're already making that then building a type checker wrap…

SVG filters default to linear color (but svg gradients etc default to srgb) so the 'SVG fe' are all linear. Color space used changes where the midpoint is so nothing else here uses…

It and it's getting late here so i can't try it myself, at least not today, but i'd try moving in a fixed, sparse, pseudorandom pattern but vary operation size. I think this should…

Quercetin is present in grapes. Wikipedia says it's "the main flavonol" in both red and white wine ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenolic_content_in_wine ). It is or at least was…

When it's young it works as is, it is more annoying but i like the results. For thin crusts i work a bit on it so likely few more grams end up on the inside, and it's mostly crust.…

I keep them in the fridge, yes, should have mentioned that. Oh, and another thing i should have mentioned is that if the dough is older i make sure to fold it few times more and wo…

You can go the exact other way, plain pizza dough is best after anywhere from 2 to 7 days in my experience. You can push it to 10 or 14 days too, which will taste different but sti…

I expected this to be about hyphenation, which (as i just realized and checked) breaks search because it won't find hyphenated words. I'm "happy" to see it's an entirely different …

Afaict other than water water, vitamins, preservatives, organic acids and glycerine the only common ingredient between the two is magnolia officinalis. Wikipedia mentions two psych…

This depends on the distribution, for a uniform distribution all 16 hex digits are equally likely in every position. Also for benford's law to show up you want your data to span se…

Haven't heard this one. Do you have a name or source or something? Can't really google that .

With this attitude you'll see conspiracies everywhere, and that's a self reinforcing spiral. If this is how much evidence you need to dismiss something without checking, then you'l…

There was a very noticeable uptick in spam (and also false positives like news Russia wouldn't like suddenly being marked as nsfw) starting after Elon laid off everyone he could. S…

The 'apply' button is active so these are unapplied changes.

TAI is the 'UTC without leap seconds'. UT1 is an evolution of solar time, and wobbles when Earth does because it's using the Earth and Sun (and other bodies) as a clock. UTC is TAI…

Rephrased it even sounds better: It's easier to educate the motivated than motivate the educated.

You were powering it through the protection diodes. Some 10-15 years ago someone built dirt simple radio tags this way. Just a microcontroller, with a capacitor and an antenna trac…

First, it _would_ make sense to use a narrow c-like subset of c++, but lots of people wanted to bring 'good practices' from c++ to the kernel. And many of these were _bad_, C++ was…

It's something teenagers say, or used to say, so i wouldn't judge the author just yet. It _may_ become something only far right nuts say, same as with frogs and other 4chan stuff -…

The plot says it's 212.18mm (= 21.2cm / 8.35 inches). You mixed up a decimal or something, sorry.

> Do you think it is the responsibility of academia to teach "industry relevant stuff"? I don't think that was what ibains was going for, though i don't fault you for seeing this i…
