It's easy to make a new one and export/import your subs.

Last time I got a CPU, I didn't even consider the Intel alternatives because of such. My old CPU was a i7-4790k.

Would solve other problems too, like ctrl+pgup/down swapping tabs, but it also is used for things like changing spreadsheet tabs.

I get the vibe that Gregor Mendal probably was autistic. Likewise, Da Vinci probably was ADHD.

Next are you gonna suggest green jelly beans don't cause autism?

So much of Houston is wasted on surface level parking lots (not to mention all of the on-street and garage parking), so car-dependency is a contributor to the lack of density. It certainly wouldn't be able to entirely exclude cars within 4 years, but there's certainly lots of reclamation that could happen in that time-frame. Unfortunately, the current Houston mayor is going out of his way to increase car-dependency and take away existing infrastructure for other modes of transportation.

Pdf Xchange is one I use a lot. Wish they'd make a Linux version instead of just saying to use Wine. I'd buy it again if they'd released it on Linux to get some of the newer features (correct scans, monochrome recoloring, delete all children, dark page mode).

But it does change how much power you need to use. If you leave the power the same, you'll need more joules because you need more time and are sending more of it to the atmosphere.

I meant up relative to the boiling point. Since the boiling point is lower, the same heat output is relatively higher. It just boils the water faster and does nothing to the temperature. You just need enough heat to get it to a boil if you don't want to waste extra water and heat.

Occam's razor? Maybe their growth in belief in people's stupidity explains why their belief in human goodness increased. Instead, they just believe people are incompetent rather than willfully bad? Curious what the mechanism for it looking like a titration curve is though.

Boiling water is a fixed temperature at a given air pressure. Turning up the heat doesn't make the water hotter. You just lose it faster. If you need higher temperatures and are cooking in boiling water, then you have to use a pressure cooker.

There’s nothing that happens when you adjust the contrast or white balance in editing software that the camera hasn’t done under the hood. The edited image isn’t “faker” then the original: they are different renditions of the same data.

You can still carefully choose which renditions you want to put out to the public to manipulate people's perceptions. The video of the uber self-driving car hitting a person being an example that comes to mind, where the video released by uber looks far darker than how human would typically perceive the same street while driving, which led to a lot of "even a human driver would have hit them" apologia. So even if "fake' isn't technically accurate, its still lying to the naive viewer.

Regardless, cool breakdown of what does into making digital photography work at a basic level.
