The clocks aren’t even the biggest source of error in the pseudo ranges.

Believe it should be available to all eh? Where’s the hf link then?

I get much different results than others when using these tools. Turns out there is some skill in wielding them, and knowing the domain in which you do.

The cause stops mattering after a while, either you have to go on a full time campaign to educate people… or switch the setting to rebase and squash and be done with it.

It’s a recurring theme, see dune’s references to Samuel Butler.

The why is that most people when given the merge option don’t clean up their history so you end up with tons of garbage fix up commits.

Maybe if you can get it to zoom out far enough and wire up an array of lights on the surface of Nauvis…

It probably depends on the measure used to define peak, but the removal of arbitrary limits on honest intellectual inquiry has huge benefits, eg the enlightenment, science, etc.

People talking about efficiency are missing the point - the pedals are only there so it gets classified as an e-bike and not an electric motorcycle (so no license required, registration, taxes, can drive in the bike lane) and doesn’t have the jerky handling of an e-bike with the wheels mechanically linked to the pedals.

They never really intend for you to turn the pedals. It is a regulatory thing.

I’ve seen it fail, having tried it for a few years. There’s a type that passes this no problem but isn’t productive.

I switched to a battery of knowledge questions centered on the type of programmer I was looking for, it works much better and is even predictive of coding ability as it helps you learn this stuff.

At least in the USA it’s legal to record public spaces. So recording the street and things that can be seen from it is legal, but pointing a camera over your neighbors fence is not.

In a way, but this was also on an incoming call, and the text came from yet another number, there were a lot of red flags despite being legitimate.

Everyone has a different peeve, and they all conflict. That’s why population density correlates with regulation.
