just curious, which API are you using to get this data (the hotels)?

I wish NNW would support notifications on Mac with the app closed, maybe with a helper that's always running. I use it to get alerts on hardware availability but I don't want it always taking up space on my dock.

Negative. I’ve been using it since the update with no issues.

Falcon Heavy could send Crew Dragon to the Moon. They’d just have to rate it for human space flight.

You can see it more clearly on the Israel-Egypt border

They’re not going to be launching the whole rocket, just the second stage (Starship) for hops between cities. Also, even if they land say 20-30 km outside of the city limits and then transfer by train/hyperloop that’s still way faster than a plane, even the Concorde.

I find it very funny that this article came out right after the deadline for university applications passed here (Greece).

Anyway, I chose a CS Bachelor’s program with just enough EE classes to qualify for a MEng in EE later. I was thinking about starting from EE (I’m equally interested in both subjects, if not a bit more in EE) but I was discouraged by comparing salary info and seeing many dissatisfied electrical engineers. If things look better in 4 years I’ll do my Master’s in EE.

I would prefer if I could do both degrees at the same time, even if it meant more coursework and slightly longer time to complete. I can do a version of this with the degree I chose, studying n subjects in CS and n subjects in EE instead of 2n in only one of these, but ideally it should be 2n in both.

I went through the same phase at 12. I am nearing 18 now, and I am very thankful for nondeterminism.

Wouldn’t the unique copies be 10000*9999?

I would just render each page of such a PDF in two colors (black or white without shades) and turn the images into a new PDF to upload. If that doesn’t make the steganography fail, maybe add a lot of static? Or censor illustrations anyway since many journals provide them independently of the text.

it's arguably much easier (nowadays) to use an off-the-shelf app like TimeLimit[0] to achieve the same kind of functionality on smartphones, without ever having to flash custom firmware using undocumented/unsupported techniques. Granted, back in <=2014 this probably made more sense.
