  • This could be a nice lesson about the taxicab metric and the Euclidean metric, but that doesn't seem like the intention.

  • Low approach. Delivery truck was on the public highway. Not a runway incursion. Pilot's about to lose their job.

  • A spinning circle requires just two threads, one to do the work and one to spin the circle. And they don't have to talk to each other.

    A progress bar is the same thing, but now the work thread has to periodically communicate the progress to the bar thread, and inter-thread synchronization has to be setup. And how do you know how much progress a single file transfer represents? Or how many progress points is a registry edit versus a file transfer? It's hard to figure out in advance, which is why so many progress bars are shitty estimates of progress.

  • And I'm still getting at least 20x speedup on my applications. I don't know where this 0.001 stuff is coming from.

  • No, I'm quoting the Constitution because it means something to me, and maybe to you as well. I'm not talking to them.

    "They" will only accomplish their goals when enough regular people go along with it. Conversely, the Constitution will continue to have meaning as long as enough regular people are still invested. Despite some serious cracks and strains, it is holding up so far. I hope it continues to do so.

  • Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

    • Constitution. Article III, section 3.
  • The fifth circuit court of appeals has been described as "a collection of 4chan posts wearing robes." It has a reputation for very conservative decisions that are poorly reasoned. And in fact I think it is currently the most overturned circuit at the Supreme Court.

    The 5th circuit covers the geographic territory of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. In the US appellate system, the decisions of each circuit are binding precedent within their territory. So the interpretation of the law can literally change if you move to a different part of the country. The Supreme Court is supposed to step in when these "circuit splits" occur, but sometimes it's slow to do so.

    In this case, the effect is nationwide because it's an APA case. The court is ordering the FDA to reverse one of its regulatory policies. And the FDA can be sued in any of the 50 states because they operate in all of them.

    Edit: I'm just assuming that OP is talking about the mifepristone decision that just came out. But they could be talking about the Louisiana Callais decision on redistricting instead.

  • Well but you see, I'm pretty sure he tips the cam girls to capture more and newer nudes to restart the process at step 1.

  • "Perhaps some time in the pattern buffer will mellow you out."

  • This sounds like the premise of a much darker version of "All You Zombies."

  • How long until we get a settlement letter from them offering a year of free credit monitoring?

  • There was some mod drama a while back, but maybe that's blown over now.

  • Without the monocoque, I doubt it can pass modern crash safety tests. Nor is there any safe place to install air bags.

  • How the heck do the YouTubers I watch sustain themselves on $330 / million? That seems really unsustainable when they only very rarely break 5 million.

  • Coal and natural gas plants can also use the same cooling tower design.

    It looks like maybe a coal plant is depicted, on account of the tall smoke stacks and what look like drop chutes for handling solid coal. But the layout doesn't make sense. What are the smoke stacks coming out of?

  • In fact, the impeachment resolutions have already been filed, and they are going to get just as far as this bill. So I don't understand your complaint. For example.

  • This is gonna be pretty entertaining. Especially if he brings in Pat fucking Fitzgerald again.

  • If you're talking about the Roman Catholic church, their position is that divorce is never permissible whatsoever.

    But they also say that the marriage doesn't really start until the first sexual intercourse. So I think there is a ground to petition for an annulment if you got married but never had sex.
