That's a really good illustration of scale. The last time i saw a demo like this it used 3D rendered cubes. There's something wonderful about using an actual, physical medium for this.

They've been separate desktop environments from the start. From top to bottom they share nearly nothing. The compositors, window managers, toolkits and shells are all different.

They also are ideologically opposed. If they merged, which direction would they go? The more feature-rich KDE? Or the more streamlined Gnome? Such a merger would lead to infighting and stagnation.

This is before even talking about the actual code underlying both environments.

I think it's better for everyone if they stay as two separate projects.

On one hand, 360hz seems imperceptibly faster than 240hz for human eyes.

On the other hand, if you get enough frames in, you don't have to worry about simulating motion blur.

She's a high school teacher. I'm gonna guess the students figured it out first.

Once you get past their boring singles, Nickelback isn't all that bad.

Isn't this how Donnie Darko started?

The Riddler has taken his antics into intergalactic space

That's because these programmers are getting paid by the character.

This is also why Java dev pays so well.

Is that all it does? Is HP so backwards that they introduce a whole new attack surface just to store a date stamp?

...Actually don't answer that.

“The way our policies, procedures [and] training have been designed and implemented for many years have not had the voices of black people involved in the design, the implementation, of those practices. And as a consequence of that, we get disproportionate outcomes in places where there shouldn’t be disproportionate outcomes.

I was curious about specific examples of institutional racism so I started scouring the main report: https://publications.parliament.uk/...

I didn't dig very deep yet, but so far I found that the forces had been trying to train away individual unconscious biases in response to the Macpherson report, and watered down the process in favor of other priorities. (See paragraphs 505 and 506).

I get the reasoning for excluding wine and beer, but flour?

I'm sure it's highly subjective. But if you want to go about it scientifically, you can survey a number of strangers to answer the question for you.

Now, where to find those strangers...

Agreed, but at least it's not as bad as it was.

Wyatt was pulled to safety by a team from the Grand Canyon National Park, who rappelled down a cliff after deciding a helicopter rescue would not be possible due to the terrain.

If this were a plot point in a movie, I would have called it a contrived excuse to have the heroes scale a rock wall.

This kills the universe.

Obligatory xkcd

"Johnny Tightlips, where'd they hit you?"

"I ain't saying nothing."

"What do I tell the doctor?"

"Tell him to suck a lemon."

That's the mean (average), not the median (middle).

Median is the one where half the numbers are smaller and half are bigger. If only the top income changes, the median stays the same. The mean goes up.

How did it take them 80 years to find a bomb in a back yard? Is it a large yard? Was the bomb buried?
