Re:uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari on Tuesday August 05, 2025 @02:04PM (#44801844)
Same issue on macOS with Safari 18.5. I think it might require a newer version (18.6), see https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/405.
Not OP but good question. The diffs end up being semantic and not merely a difference of triples. This is due at least in part to the open world nature of RDF and concepts such as reasoning and materialization.
Re:Apple acquires Dark Sky on Tuesday March 31, 2020 @05:16PM (#22742678)
Opposite experience here. Services like Dark Sky and Wunderground are so inaccurate up here in Alaska that it's dangerous. NWS is also often pretty wrong but way less wrong than anything else. Interesting to hear your

My 2012 Air feels, in many ways, a lot more performant than my 2016 Pro. The Air is the best computer Apple has made in over a decade.

Interesting, thanks for the response!

Great, thanks for the explanation!

It's an interesting project for sure. I especially like being able to manipulate Finder menus with this.

For someone using Slate (js) that has also read your docs, I'm not sure what you mean by more integrated. Could you elaborate on the use of that word?

You might take a look at http://railsapi.com. Click "build your custom package" to see what they provide.

The PDF spec is rather long but the basic format is simple enough. Check out http://yob.id.au/2009/11/12/intro-to-the-pdf-file-structure.... for a short intro.

While his approach is unlikely to be close to the true ink efficiency I give it points for a being a creative way of representing the relation.
Re:Tell HN: Cinch, W7-like window management for OSX on Monday December 21, 2009 @01:03PM (#1008247)
This is immensely useful. Would love to see support for custom drop-zones with custom actions. For example, allow the user to change the width from 1/2 screen to 1/3 or 1/4. Or even 1/2 width and 1/2 height instead of 1/2 width and full height.
Re:Tell HN: Cinch, W7-like window management for OSX on Monday December 21, 2009 @01:01PM (#1008243)
Thanks for the tip! I've been using TwoUp for a while and have found it useful. This is even better.
They took extensions away from Chromium for a few days and re-enabled them a bit ago.

I use this, mixed with Google Scholar, even though I have access to Web of Science through my university. Google's doing a good job.

Re:Cell size and scale on Wednesday November 11, 2009 @05:20PM (#936446)
If they're drawing Carbon with respect to its orbitals then they are completely wrong.

Carbon has both S and P orbitals whereas water has hybridized orbitals. This would mean both their carbon and water are drawn incorrectly.

Re:Cell size and scale on Tuesday November 10, 2009 @06:06PM (#934154)
Best I can tell, they have it wrong. They might be interpreting size differently than I expect but Carbon should be around 220pm and Water around 310pm.

Rough estimates for diameter are based on molecular mass and density; density being variable. I'm curious how they did their calculations.

Re:Cell size and scale on Tuesday November 10, 2009 @05:55PM (#934130)
Cells are great. You're welcome.
Re:Cell size and scale on Tuesday November 10, 2009 @04:13PM (#933959)
Stem cells are totipotent and can give rise to any type of specialized cell in your body. Cell signaling induces horribly complex signaling pathways that lead to profound changes in transcription of that cell's DNA.

As an embryo, your gonads start in your chest and, through signals from your brain, end up in your pelvic region.

Erythrocytes (Red blood cells) are a great example of specialization. Before they become erythrocytes they have a nucleus. Their nucleus is ejected, their shape completely changes from spherical to flat-with-a-dimple and they are not a red blood cell. Obviously, erythrocytes cannot divide.

It seems he's aware of what his experiment does and does not say.

Causation or not, he's achieving more intervals without coffee.

Re:Reflikta has launched a new PDF Search Engine on Friday October 23, 2009 @09:25PM (#899977)
Yeah. It looks like it's as simple as `yoursearch filetype:pdf` in Google.

Lame since Google's interface for this is far more useful.
