Why does each language's Loved + Dreaded = 100%? Most languages I've worked with I neither love nor dread. Clicked through to the SO survey results and even skimmed the methodology…

1. Highlight the clip and "strip silence" to split it into a bunch of separate clips the leave out the silent bits 2. Highlight those clips and "shift left within selection" (I mig…

Whoa. For years I've been seeing YouTube videos that seem to just teleport choppily around what I assumed were silences. I always assumed there was a standard tool that everyone us…

I wrote and played for a pop-rock band called Doctor Squid back in college. Still pretty proud of it. https://open.spotify.com/album/3A0HzsaCTe1JI3noFR2GZi?si=roy...

Re CYOA/RPG combo, I believe you're referring to the Fighting Fantasy series: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Fantasy There's a fun confusing fact about that series, which…

Using this on subjective questions (e.g. “Is Cymbeline one of Shakespeare’s best plays?”) would help you find... what? Underrated things?

30% of the population holding extreme views isn't the same as any particular view being held by 30% and considered "extreme". They don't go into exactly what this figure means, but…

An article about a "growing body of evidence" that fails to link to a single study. Great. "Smartphone use takes about the same cognitive toll as losing a full night's sleep" Would…

I'm surprised that this works. I always assumed Siri etc. would do some bare-minimum pre-processing of the audio input, if only to reduce noise, of which the simplest kind would be…

Yeah. The impression I get from this article (which is pitifully short on specifics) is that they're going to exploit some of the seemingly-nonlocal properties of QM, like quantum …

You're studying the tautologic that you're studying Sickeningly, you're studying illogic You're a circular logician because you're studying circular logic. You're studying circular…

The front page is pretty worrying. The situation seems almost identical to when Reddit axed r/jailbait: one of their more embarrassing communities started to get too much attention…

Weirdly, the author even acknowledges this: > It's pedantic, sure. Isn't 1.16180 close enough? Yes, it probably would be... For some reason he didn't see fit to delete that section…

Roughly, a sound that happens during some measure of music, or an arbitrary point during that duration. Imagine folding a strip of paper exactly in half. Now you have a crease at t…

There are niche-case advantages. Some artists (Tool comes to mind) refuse to sell on iTunes etc for the reason mentioned in the article: they only want to sell albums. Currently th…

Can anyone explain the bit about 1x1.gif being the only way, to this day, to vertically center elements? AFAIK there's still no way to vertically center a dynamic height element wi…

I don't think this problem is solvable in any elegant form, but it is solvable. You'll just end up with massively conjunctive questions that you can't even hold in your head at onc…

This is really cool. I'd love to see it calculate not just likelihoods but actual probabilities. Right now I can see that liking Artist A makes me 10x more likely to like Artist B.…
