Badger Badger Badger originally is a flash animation. To properly archive this, both the flash animation and a machine definition which can run that animation (eg: having a browser with flash plugin) should be stored, not just a video file.

“Then there is the % address operator: user %domainB@domainA is first sent to domainA, which expands the rightmost (in this case, the only) percent sign to an @ sign. The address is now user@domainB, and the mailer happily forwards your message to domainB, which delivers it to user. This type of address is sometimes referred to as “Ye Olde ARPAnet Kludge,” and its use is discouraged“

Please don’t terrify your contractors. They fix your place, and you want them on your side doing a good job.

This should be my new screensaver

Also: Fix every bug twice: Both the implementation and the “call site” — if at all possible

Personally, I’d start with divide and conquer. If you’re working on a relevant code base chances are that you can’t learn all the API spec and documentation because it’s just too much.

Correcting the correction:

> When you connect 2 9000 mAh cells in series, the resulting battery has 2x the voltage but the same mAh capacity. In parallel, the battery has the same voltage but 2x the mAh.

The relevant units are:

* Capacity (Q, in mAh, Ah, kWh, etc)

* Power (P, in Watts)

* Voltage (U, in Volts)

* Current (I, in Amperes)

* Duration (t, in mostly measured in hours)

And the relevant formulas are:

* P = U x I or Power equals Voltage(difference) times Current

* Q = P x t or Capacity equals Power times duration

From this we can establish that connecting batteries in series or in parallel will not change their Capacity. When having 13 batteries of 29000mAh, or 29Ah, you have 13 x 29 = 377Ah or 377000mAh. Connecting batteries in series or parallel does make a difference in voltage and current: a string in series will increase the voltage while keeping the current the same (theoretically, in practice you get less than the current of the weakest cell); a parallel setup will increase the maximum current while keeping the voltage the same (again, in theory).

Same for me. I wanted to contribute, but the amount of dependencies needed to get a local build to run was a major hurdle.

Except that the argument here was about bass, and the paper shows that age dependent hearing frequency response varies mostly in the mid-high range.

And you are? The one who deals out the stereotypes?

Not saying you are wrong, but this is anecdotal. I’d rather try to interpret crash statistics than use my own experience.

All of this. Plus the exhaust gasses and tire wear pollutants causing early deaths. The noise (bigger) cars make disrupting quiet places like parks and porches, balconies, bedrooms causing stress. The waste of used cars, often being transported to third world countries. Cars kill in so many ways, especially big cars.

The counterpoint to that article is: US Big Tech could also abide to EU laws and avoid fines altogether.

Although I like this interview question, it has a big downside. You make the candidate spend quite a lot of effort while you as an interviewer don’t learn much. The answer to “Can this candidate find and fix this bug?” is not necessarily equal to “Is this candidate a good expansion of the team. What do they bring that we need?”

With AI closing in on general intelligence, using just binary numbers and some calculations, I’m going to place my bet that quantum entanglement is not necessarily for general intelligence.

It was eight years ago when Google delivered the gadget-man’s wet dream: The Google Glass. My company at the time had a pair so we could try them. It was immediately clear that glasses aren’t the same product as smartphones. The first Google glass UX was very poor. And even if newer “glass” products can solve some issues, they will never fully replace a touch screen. Arguing that phones will be replaced by glasses, to me, sounds like arguing you’re going to do your office work using Alexa. It just doesn’t make sense.

> "So you plant your saplings and then you have to maintain the forest for 100 years. That's multiple generations of people. How many companies last 100 years these days? How on earth is anyone going to afford to maintain that forest, hiring the team of people you need to do that? It doesn't make any sense."

Forests don’t make any sense, who’s willing to pay for them anyway?

Could this be even more capitalist propaganda?

Also, the EU government is not hugely popular in the public opinion. Years ago the EU government was popularly known for creating nonsensical rules (and there are indeed examples of nonsensical rules).

To claim their future existence, the EU government really has to prove their usefulness for the EU citizens.

Amazing to see that this exactly matches with another item in the front page - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/06/three-near-ide...

Turns out your right, the story is much more balanced. This page has data on tree cover per capita, and it isn’t Europe on top US on the bottom : https://datadrivenlab.org/urban/issue-profiles/urban-tree-co...

The pavement replacement won’t be free either, I suppose. I’ve never heard of a government cutting trees as a cost saving, however I didn’t look for that either. I think that, once trees are there, people will be happy to pay the few dollarcents per year for their maintenance.

Why wouldn’t you just plant some trees. You don’t need any fancy pavement if it is below a tree.. European cities are filled with trees to cool the streets below them. Obviously, you’d need smaller streets that fit pedestrians and bicycles instead of massive urban highways for trees to be effective.

Thanks for the question (which should be on the top, instead of the climate change deniers).

Politicians are chosen by the citizens. So the question could be rephrased to “how do we make a big portion of the world aware of the seriousness?”.

A web search for “how to convince your opponent” gives some great suggestions:

———————————————————— How to Convince Someone Ask them to share their thoughts. Match their type of reasoning -- if they're being emotional, appeal to their emotions; if they're relying on logic, be logical. Get them to lower their guard with a genuine compliment. Pose a counter-argument (without making them defensive). ————————————————————

This is quite counter intuitive: I would think that if you would tell the data and scientific method used to obtain the data you would be able to convince anyone, but not so.

Instead you have to open the discussion and have both sides on the table, which leads to ridiculous situations eg: a TV show gives a scientist who builds upon many years of research equal time to speak on some matter as a fancy vlogger with a quirky opinion.

The more noise you make the more you will be noticed. If people aren’t confronted with their actions, they have little chance to change their opinion and behaviour. It is important to be respectful while also making clear that change is needed, by each and everyone.
