Have a look through the history section. The concept of periodicity substantially predates the quantisation of the atom. The modern table certainly considers atomic orbitals to be key, but the groups were absolutely created based on common properties.

I love this. Is it with reference to anything specific? (Apart from Voyager and its inconsistency ofc)

Lava lamps actually don't have any fans, the motion is driven by convection instead! /jk

Between First Past the Post, voter disenfranchisement, gerrymandering and vote suppression, the USA has never tried democracy.

Even Arch has an interactive installer now, and Endeavour is meant to be Arch with a bulletproof installer as well.

For dual booting I strongly recommend having Windows and Linux on separate drives altogether.

I'll second the community sidebar search. Almost all of my searches are searching for something from a specific community. Old habits die hard and I always end up navigating to the community, then going to search and finding myself having to search for the community again first.

Hey it's me the fun ruiner here to ruin your fun.

Nuclear Ghandi was mostly a myth until Civilisation V where it was deliberately programmed in.

Also the concept of an integer wrapping around below it's minimum value is still integer overflow, just like wrapping above it's maximum value. Underflow does exist in the context of floating point numbers, when a calculation produces a result too small to represent in the floating point schema.

Buffer overflow is putting more elements into an array than can fit in the array, therefore trying to write beyond the end of an array. They're a super common form of vulnerability exploit, particularly in older programs written in C. Buffer underflow is when something consuming from a buffer consumes faster than it is filled, and so empties the buffer. I didn't actually know this term before making this comment.

BYD is getting big in Australia, which drives on the left. They don't sell the Seagull here though.

I use Waistline. It pulls food data from OpenFoodFacts and has support for meals and recipes as well, although I mostly track weight not nutrition.

Solution to grid puzzleThe henchmen's discussion implies that the letter row and number column both have at least two balls in them (required for "I don't know, but I know you don't know)". Bernard's statement to Albert makes it clear to Albert that the letter must be either row C or D depending on the number he knows.

If it was row D the answer would still be ambiguous to Bernard so it must be C3 and the ball is gold

Solution to overall puzzleI've been successfully nerd sniped and my family is dead.

 

The GSM Association announced that the latest RCS standard includes E2EE based on the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, enabling interoperable encryption between different platform providers for the first time.

 

Highlights:

Krishnan told Ars that "Meta is trying to have it both ways, but its assertion that Unfollow Everything 2.0 would violate its terms effectively concedes that Zuckerman faces what the company says he does not—a real threat of legal action."

For users wanting to take a break from endless scrolling, it could potentially meaningfully impact mental health—eliminating temptation to scroll content they did not choose to see, while allowing them to remain connected to their networks and still able to visit individual pages to access content they want to see.

According to Meta, its terms of use prohibit automated access to users' personal information not just by third parties but by individual users, as a means of protecting user privacy. Meta urged the court to reject Zuckerman's claim that Meta's terms violate California privacy laws by making it hard for users to control their data. Instead, Meta said the court should agree with a prior court that "rejected the argument that California law 'espous[es] a principle of user control of data sufficient to invalidate' Facebook’s prohibition on automated access."
