If I'm deep in coding flow the last thing I'm going to do is immediately jump on to someone else's PR. Half a day to a day sounds about right from when the PR is submitted to actua…

Web Mercator is the standard projection used on the web, if you think the we should use a different projection on the web then that's a completely separate argument

Stephen Fry made the same remarks in a Q&A session some years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k2AbqTBxao As a Brit I can't agree more with both, I find American humour so har…

What a joy to parse!

There are apps but you should not use them as they are dangerously inaccurate. Mushroom identification requires numerous different factors that a simple photograph would not be suf…

Edible does not mean "can physically be eaten" it means "is safe to eat". So no, poisonous mushrooms are not edible.

Great write-up. If you haven't seen it yet I'd highly recommend watching the entire YouTube series (part 6 is linked at the end). Some fantastic engineering!

I'm British and apparently that makes me Northeastern

As they rightly should! I voted remain and would do so again in a heartbeat but if you have an exclusive members only club what use is it if leaving has no consequences? The UK mos…

I have a few "Mother of Thousands" [0] which started out as a single plant that I was gifted but it grew so rapidly that I now have about 6 pots of them. They produce tiny little b…

The mixing of sleeping pills and alcohol causing poor decision making reminds me somewhat of Elon Musk's recent outbreaks. I believe I read somewhere he is currently taking lots of…

Also broken on my 24" monitor (Chrome on Windows)

Looks interesting but such a blaring spelling mistake in the tag line is pretty poor

I've used coconutBattery to check the health of the battery in my 6s and it reports the number of charge cycles and the maximum capacity. Is this data stored in the battery or the …

Ah that makes sense - if Bitcoin keeps going at its present rate could 8 units of precision simply not be enough? Would a hard-fork be the solution to this?

Dang you got there 3 minutes before me!

Interesting point on the lack of floating-point support. I've dealt with storing fiat in real world software and using floating point is a big no-no due to the fact it is only an a…

An old school Casio is a great choice. I've had a F91W for ages and the battery last years. Cheap too. https://www.amazon.com/Casio-F91W-1-Classic-Resin-Digital/dp... It has an hou…

Although a nice idea in principle I think you'll just end up with horribly convoluted and hacky if/else logic throughout your code - much like the era of nasty IE6 kludges.

Looks to me from image 3 at the bottom of the page that the whole unit unthreads: http://www.mahle-powertrain.com/en/experience/mahle-jet-igni...
