  • I love science

  • That's a) impossible; and b) if limited enough to be possible would take too long to be practical

  • Science is a process, and it's really simple:

    1. Form a hypothesis (make a statement of what you want to test, ensure it is testable; if it's not testable it's not amenable to science)
    2. Come up with how to test the hypothesis
    3. Test the hypothesis
    4. Publish the results and details

    There are technical bits that make that easier, but the big parts are keeping records of what you've done and what the results were

    Some hypotheses are expensive to test, best leave those to the well funded pros

  • Oh no, they got a tiny bit of money from some of Bill Gates' foundations which support education.

    It's not from Gates directly.

    If it was from Gates directly why would you be upset at him giving some no strings attached money to an educational channel?

    (I'm taking it as read that you have beliefs about Gates being bad and don't see a point in arguing opinions like that)

  • Do you mean the people profiting are white boomers? Many are generation X. Some are millennials.

  • Really dude, don't gloat about the furries you fucked at CERN

  • They also take a lot of unimportant stuff and pretend it's important. Australian snakes are 17 of the top 20 most venomous snakes*

    *Against mice

    They just don't attack humans unless the human is fucking with them

    Cassowarys too. Deadly dangerous. The last people killed by a flock of them was throwing rocks and beer cans at them. You've got to try to get killed by them.

    We don't really have any animals we need to tell people to not try to get a selfie with, aside from koalas but for the koala's benefit, it's not going to hurt you

    There's an effort to replace rabbits as the Easter animal with quokkas. I reckon the quokka is more cute than the bunny.

  • In my workplace a stretch goal is code for "we almost certainly can't do it but the scrum master thinks we might"

    My team was given another team's stretch goal after management worked out the translation

  • Tech debt is fixing the roof to save on changing the buckets under the leak

  • Good point

  • Tit just used to mean small. That's how the word came to be used for some boobs, then all boobs. Perhaps teat (nipple) got shortened also, but the bird is named for being small

    There's also the titmouse which is littler than other mice

  • Don't be a fool, use the proper tool.

  • I'm not sure what you're asking which of. I might have not worded the last part of my comment unambiguously

    To rewrite:

    I don't think you can tell Linux from a Unix by looking at it reliably. Though in general unixes are tidier, there are Linux users that are just as tidy and keep their system just like a Unix one

  • We have an eco system in southern Australia that at the moment is eucalyptus trees. They take over all at once after a fire, and they live about 300 years. When they die off rainforest trees and undergrowth take over, until there's a dry period and fire

  • I have a portable cold beer system but they probably wouldn't allow it into the server room. Do you have a good excuse for outside hours access so we can sneak it in?

  • constants r fun

    Jump

  • This is not very enticing as an idea — that something special happened to have this universe just right — as we really don't know whether there were unsuccessful universes before ours, we don't know what happened before the big bang that created our universe

    There could be good reasons we don't know of that forces all the constants to be as they are. The dice could have been cast many times before. We can't know. This idea doesn't help

  • you're doing ReSeArCh rong!!

  • No they can't, at least not in general. The longest lived, easiest to date, life has been trees, but there's no suggestion that they'll survive climate change

    Most trees have live spans in the low hundreds of years
