I have a feeling most of our cities would be unhabitable if we had dog ears.

By that logic though, all text formats are a mess because text processors will autocorrect and break the formatting.

I assume it was just a failure to record the frame, but it'd be quite something if it was a drop frame from 29.97 video.

What bothers me is, we derive entropy --a blind, involuntary physical law--, from observation of inanimate systems.

So, for example, a very big box full of hot hydrogen will eventually cool off. But, there's a tiny chance it may actually coalesce into life bearing stars. Such life may intentionally work towards increasing order, like Maxwell's demon.

So we try to extend entropy to life too and strenuously prove that it'll increase even when aware biological organisms work against it, while still excluding the same organisms from the observations entropy is derived from.

This makes me wish there was a way to tell the browser "Use reader mode to display this site."

Not if it replaces wood products that fully biodegrade (even tho many are chemically treated in other ways). That'd be a net loss, and I could see it being huge in terms of additional mass of plastics being added to the environment.

I guess one interesting question is whether other kinds of chromatin elsewhere encode any information by favoring expression of certain genes over other.

It's still puzzling how to argue about life on Venus' atmosphere with the lack of water. It'd be interesting to speculate about pathways for life to synthesize their own water from the available chemicals.

I wonder what's the margin for raising the center of gravity too much out of the water without risking it tipping, with all that cargo on top.

How do PC sales get tracked when a lot of builds are put together from parts at mom-and-pop stores or by the customers themselves?

I use it for small scripted jobs on my own machine that have to go through a proxy, I start the built-in server on the proxy root and point the script to the localhost address.

> Manipulating complex data structures that are large

I do assume it's not the case, but one of the footguns with PHP is that assigning around large variables/arrays and triggering the copy-on-write can end building up the amount of duplicates of that data being kept alive. Pass by reference, unsets, generators and the like aren't used super often due to a lot of runs being small stateless requests, but sometimes they may be needed.

Maybe it'd work for large trucks in very cold environments. Not much around in an accident and it handles lower temperatures.

Technically, once you start colonizing a planet's underground you have little vertical limitations. Manhattan isn't a cube, most people live in a 50 meters layer from the ground. 50 meters is nothing if you are building an underground grid.

Thermal insulation would be nearly perfect and radiating excess heat can be passive, so there wouldn't be energy usage from that.

The surface layer is mostly irrelevant for life conditions when considering oceans enclosed in ice. Even a few meters under a water ice surface you already have plenty insulation from surface temperatures, whatever exothermic process you get going is going to stay warm for a long while.

Europa surface is actually more hostile for life due to the heavy radiation from Jupiter.

If we find life in icy moons, then we have to consider that the number of icy dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt, the Oort cloud and the orbits beyond are likely in the thousands. As long as they kept some heat from impacts, nuclear decay or binary tides they may have oceans suitable for life. Impacts carrying life may be rarer up there but they are probably lower speed being in higher orbits, so they'd be more survivable for organisms.

Kudos for maintaining a Perl app in 2020. I went into the github expecting some huge node.js jumble and was surprised to see a couple .pm files running everything.

I had too many headaches with Resolve 16.2 hanging on exports or UI stopping responding on Ubuntu 18.04, I hope it gets better. The camera stabilization filter is amazing.

Kdenlive does support MP4 as source assets, Resolve free only does ProRes MOVs and such. It's just an extra step with ffmpeg but still.

Well, Rust is playing catch up with the "change code and run" speed of PHP.

Excess deaths may work, considering we are in a relatively calm time when it comes to armed conflicts and such.

And a curse long after frame modes lost any real world purpose. The workflows ended surviving much longer than the technology that justified them.

23.976 FPS in most cases actually. For anyone wondering, this is a rate that fits at an even ratio in the old 60 Hz analog TV broadcasts, minus the frames reserved to piggy back color information along the old black and white signal. It's a meaningless technical artifact nowadays.

I look at MBTI as a hash function. Rather than having someone ask a few dozen questions about myself and me answering them and them putting them together, it's simpler to hash those answers into a 4 letter string. People with some big differences do get the same hash value, but the loss of accuracy seems an acceptable trade-off in casual situations.

I wish the rubber grips didn't fail so easily on them, they are the first thing to fall apart for me.

I doubt it captures the change from TV being central in peoples' lifes to being a sideshow to internet. The value of owning a TV in the old times was much higher than now.

May be easier to audit a project in a sense due to most common libraries being standard rather than imported.

Has a decent track record for major version updates being easy to migrate to (even if many projects don't bother).

Works for quick and dirty bash-style scripting (not specially better than Phyton, but it does work).

End of the day, an Oauth2 user is just an user admin that creates a child user account for each app, with restricted permissions. Then the app logins with "their" username (client ID) and password (client secret).

What's the control group though. Where do you find a good sample of people not exposed to them.

I wish someone poked irssi devs to support other languages. I basically learned Perl just for it.
