doesn't every moving magnetic field produce an electric field?
given that the galaxy is moving, i'd say yes.
do you have a link to the video essay you're referencing?
it used to be the case that reddit threads became read-only after six months, but they removed that limitation about a year ago i think
> just like they almost embraced Ruby instead of Swift
do you have any more information about this?
and it makes sense that lithuania is the bottom one (ie, closest to poland), since there used to be a polish lithuanian commonwealth
most of the views (in the iOS app at least, idk about android) are asynchronous, in that they will always prefer to load data from their servers over using locally cached stuff.
meaning that, if you have a bad internet connection and tap on eg an album, it'll open the view for that album and you just have to look at the progress indicator for in some cases up to 20+ seconds, even if you have downloaded that album and all the info is there in the local cache.
this happens annoyingly often, e.g. when leaving an area where you're connected to wifi and your phone hasn't yet switched over to celluar data.
the total volume of all oceans is roughly 1.335 bn km^3. the volums of this sattelite is ~6.612m^3, which is about 4.952*10^-16 % of the total ocean volume.
i think it will be fine.
i could be completely wrong here, but i do seem to remember something about there being some physical chip in the machine that needed to be present for e.g. iMessage to work. this was a while ago but iirc they also somehow incorporated local Apple ID account management into that system.
do you have any examples from node.js?
it still is one of the largest internet use cases today, iirc ~30% of all web traffic is porn.
i'm not denying anything. the comment i replied to stated that developers can use iAd to "display [ads] in apps to receive a percentage", which i pointed out is no longer the case.
in no way does my comment deny that there's other ads sold by apple (there are, obviously, e.g. app store search ads), but that's a completely separate issue from the specific iAd program the parent comment was talking about.
another modpack that should be mentioned here is pyanodons [0]. similar to space exploration it also extends the game significantly after the rocket launch, but it also adds additional content before (in fact, the rocket launch itself becomes rather unimportant and is an at first optional blue science tech)
pyanodons adds very realistic ore processing chains, petrochemical processes (the main developer, pyanodon, is a chemical engineer by trade), energy generation mechanisms, electronics overhauls, and also farming components including both plants and animals.
overall, a full py run will easily take 1500+ hours. it's probably not particularly enjoyable for most vanilla players, but if you liked mods such as space exploration or nullius, you might find some enjoyment in py

wouldn't it, in the long run, also lead to increased potential for screen damage?
i'm also a bit confused why e.g. they have an explicit rule that they only use `let` instead of `const` when declaring variables, "for reducing the bundle size", which seems like a bad trade-off in order to save maybe a couple dozen bytes at most?
they're actively trying to make the site more "family-friendly" (i.e., advertiser-friendly), since they have their IPO coming up later this year.
The official Tor browser is also a fork of Firefox, and intentionally not Chromium-based.
i feel like there's a difference between the author themselves doing the rewriting (which i'm fine with, because you're essentially just publishing a new edition of your book), and someone else who just happens to own the IP doing the rewriting (which i'm a bit uncomfortable with, regardless of what exactly is being changed).
it's like if a painter adds something to an already-completed artwork that they had painted and then describes the result as a refined version of the painting (fine), vs when someone who just happens to have bought the painting adds something and then argues that the resulting painting is now the "official" version of the painting, while still naming the original painter as the creator (not fine).
and also the buttons on the Lua shirt are all shifted by one
just tested this, and it seems to be the default (at least when i navigate to the english-language wikipedia in a new incognito browser tab).
Dictionary app still seems to be working fine, though.
my guess here would be that they probably don't access the HTML at all, but instead go through MediaWiki's API.
in most cases you can just say "continue" and it'll pick up where it stopped (even if it was mid-sentence). this also works if the output ends in the middle of a code block.
> and remains nameless
WebKit is open-source, so it is actually one of the few Apple projects where the developers do not not remain nameless (the other big one being Swift).
> the black hole that's called Radar
IIRC WebKit has its own bug tracker, hence why you get better response times. Radar itself is still a terrible and demoralizing experience (from a developer point-of-view)
you'd know for a fact the sources from which the executable you're using was compiled.
this would, in theory, allow you to make sure it doesn't contain any malicious code.
in reality, of course, this is rather impractical since you'd need to manually verify every single source file and every single line of code.
Interesting. Running this in Firefox on my M1 MBP, I get the following results:
CPU: "Intel Mac OS X 10.15"
Memory: undefined
Screen: 1512x982
The CPU result is doubly incorrect, since a) it's not an Intel chip, and b) i'm running 12.5.1 instead of 10.15.
The screen value is correct if you double it, i guess this is measured in points instead of pixels...
surely something as basic as the location of the config folder can somehow be changed to a custom path, right?
that's something i keep wondering about as well. i think it depends on the reputation of the company/project. some of them probably do attach it to the option that is actually most popular, but i'd guess that most of them do not.
for example, if a thing has three pricing options (free, paid, and enterprise), it is always the second option (paid, but not enterprise) that has the "most popular" badge. which seems suspicious to me in cases where the free version is sufficient for most users and as a result there isn't really much of an incentive to switch to a paid plan.
UIKit after four iterations (i.e., iOS 6 in 2012) was far from its "very early days": it was a well-designed, production-ready, powerful UI framework that was way closer to AppKit than SwiftUI (in its fourth iteration) is to UIKit now.
i wouldn't say outright destroying, but definitely distorting
i could be completely wrong here, but the concept of donating money to politicians or political parties seems to me (as a european) to be mainly an american thing.
though i guess even there it's probably a rather small percentage of the population that actually cares enough about individual candidates to donate money to them.
