I suspect it's as much varying demand patterns and quality of store management as supply chain.

The only reason C is as popular as it is is that it was used to write Unix, which was widely distributed and implemented. The rest is just following on that. It's just like the reason human (and other mammals) have their optic nerve passing through the retina creating a blind spot: pure historical accident.

That might foul up your Eustachian tubes or sinuses: probably better to do it through your mouth, holding your lips together.

In Mac 12.1.1 the data-list seems to work that way, (based on the example in this article), but the color picker seems busted (the color remains the same default, no matter what is chosen interactively).

Name 3, with citations.

Actually, you dropped a decimal point somewhere there: 5400 seconds divided by 1 million is .0054 second, times 8000 meters.sec is 43.2 meters, not quite as much of a stretch as 4 km.

Yes, but in either case you will change its orbital period slightly.

An interesting review of a 2012 book with the same title as this article: http://www.josephazize.com/2016/04/01/gurdjieff-and-the-wome...

Both of my parents had well-aligned jaws with teeth suited to them. Unfortunately for my elder brother and myself, we had our father's teeth in our mother's jaws. Crowding ensued, not helped by the fact that both of us have a couple of senility teeth (my neologism for our fifth molars).

Vakil's notes have an interesting epigram from Grothendieck:

I can illustrate the … approach with the … image of a nut to be opened. The first analogy that came to my mind is of immersing the nut in some softening liquid, and why not simply water? From time to time you rub so the liquid penetrates better, and otherwise you let time pass. The shell becomes more flexible through weeks and months — when the time is ripe, hand pressure is enough, the shell opens like a perfectly ripened avocado!…

A different image came to me a few weeks ago. The unknown thing to be known appeared to me as some stretch of earth or hard marl, resisting penetration … the sea advances insensibly in silence, nothing seems to happen, nothing moves, the water is so far off you hardly hear it … yet finally it surrounds the resistant substance.

— A. Grothendieck

A cross between a wiki and a collaborative textbook.

You don't have a true self. The belief that you do is an illusion. See The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size by Tor Nørretranders.

Especially liked the quote from Franz Boas re the numerous English words for water in its variou forms:

“To take again the example of English, we find that the idea of water is expressed in a great variety of forms: one term serves to express water as a liquid; another one, water in the form of a large expanse (lake); others, water as running in a large body or in a small body (river and brook); still other terms express water in the form of rain, dew, wave, and foam. It is perfectly conceivable that this variety of ideas, each of which is expressed by a single independent term in English, might be expressed in other languages by derivations from the same term.”

Interesting: I just did laundry, including six long-sleeve shirts. Four of them had spare buttons at the bottom: made by L.L.Bean, Nordstrom, Kirkland, and an old Eddie Bauer denim picked up at a thrift shop. The two with no spare buttons were both from Arrow. The problem is, I can't remember the last time I owned eiter needle or thread.

Indeed. Just read this, Rape Joke, Lost in Trumplandia, and just reserved at the library her memoir Priestdaddy (her father is a married Catholic priest), and her poetry collecion Motherland, fatherland, homelandsexuals. Powerful.

How hard was the Hackintosh process?

Back in high school (early '60s), I studied Suzanne Langer's Introduction to Symbolic Logic, and the fluency that gave me in Boolean algebra and bit-twiddling had me in good shape for many years.

And also clear that the feeling was mutual.

Assuming that you can trust the computers it's running on.

Interestingly enough, that record was just broken by Chinese GM Ding Liren, who played 100 games before losing to Maxime Vachier-Lagrave at the Shenzhen Masters tournament.

The insight comes at the end:

If the snack and beverage options are better and more varied than they were on your last visit, you know that your client’s management is feeling bullish. If they’re the same, you know that the status quo is still in place.

And if they have gotten noticeably worse? Consider yourself notified that you may very well in the near future have to push hard to keep your services or products from being axed too.

Because the Trump administration cancelled Acosta's press credentials and the Secret Service barred him from entering the White House.

Scoops are usually considered first reports of true stories.

And heck, it would be very easy to make this a setting: yes or no, this user wants as many street names as possible.

Of course, you don't have to pay $1K for a new iphone: you can buy a new iPhone SE 32GB for $140 from Walmart (locked to their captive cellular provider for a year, but still). Or refurbed for $70!

I wish they would take the touch bar idea, and apply it to the trackpad instead of the function keys…
