Further off-topic, for anyone curious: There are a number of ride-sharing services, the self-proclaimed biggest being blablacar.de, previously known as mitfahrgelegenheiten.de, I b…

tl;dr: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louie_Louie#Lyrics_investigati...

Looks good, but I'm experiencing a UI bug. I'll just post a screenshot instead of describing it, it's got to do with some font color being the same as the background color. I'm usi…

Nobody has mentioned nuclear waste disposal as far as I can tell. Everybody is basically saying "yeah, as long as we avoid explosions, nuclear is great", but has disposal been solv…

I'm not sure if you mean the judge's entire name or the name 'Haskell', but just in case you didn't know: Haskell (the language), as well as the functional concept of currying were…

On Linux it depends on your desktop environment, I suppose. Or if you just use a window manager, like i3wm for example, you can define all sorts of hotkeys, which you can also bind…

I don't want this to sound snide, but have you read the whole article? Inmates are literally driven insane by solitary confinement, driven to self harm and suicide. It's not like y…

Bit late, sorry. No, I can't recommend an equivalent to the T series. I did some research about laptops before deciding to buy the T460s, and my conclusion is this: all laptops are…

I see. Perhaps a tablet (can't recommend any, I've never owned one) with a bluetooth keyboard is a solution? Myabe you can also find a used Yoga or use two devices; a cheap laptop …

I'd recommend Lenovo laptops. I have a Thinkpad T460s, which is awesome. If you really want the tablet/laptop hybrid, maybe a Thinkpad X1 Yoga, or something from the 'regular' Yoga…

Nice explanation, thanks; your formatting got a little messy right after the code block, though, because things between asterisks are rendered cursive .

Yes, I see your point. I personally like this kind of stuff, tinkering with my setup and whatnot. But it's definitely not for everyone. Have you tried using a Desktop Environment u…

It's actually quite simple to get some (all?) of the things you mentioned on an i3 setup (and other DMs, I'm sure). All you need is a compositor, like compton. Arch-Wiki article: h…

I just think that the more emotional voters, the ones more easily manipulated by propaganda, are more likely to keep voting when it costs something, whereas people who don't care a…

In fact, that's one of Calling Bullshit's sources: http://callingbullshit.org/syllabus.html#Spotting

There's also this article [0], which sort of tears Zed's article apart bit by bit. It's honestly a fun read because of the aggressive tone (which I find deserved), and it's also in…

This, I assume: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter Looks like it's worth the read.

Is it really? Apple makes some wildly successful products, and will apparently put more focus on those. Seems fine. I personally found out that Apple makes (made) routers through t…

Do you think Su Filindeu tastes much different from any other pasta prepared with sheep broth and pecorino? It seems like it should, given the huge amount of work going into it, bu…

With the per-logo price increasing by $40 every time a logo is sold, the final logo will cost $2000. But I wonder if it'll get that far. At that point, can't you find a decent grap…

When I first opened the site, it was $120 per logo, with 2 logos listed when filtered for "sold". Now it's at $200 per logo, with 4 in the "sold" category. So yes, it looks like th…

Little bit of a tangent here, but I've always hated the fact that Tesla calls its assisted driving thingy "autopilot", which clearly implies complete autonomy, while still requirin…

It's a little disappointing, really, but perfectly possible in my experience. The uni I'm doing my CS degree at also isn't exactly on top of its game when it comes to practical yet…
