@SergioTapia I'm not sure how that is different from a tinyurl, saying "check that out yo" and linking to a page saying "check that out yo" to a third, different page
Earth's rotation is the rotation of the solid Earth around its own axis. The Earth rotates towards the east. As viewed from the North Star Polaris, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.
Rotation period
Earth's rotation period relative to the Sun (true noon to true noon) is its true solar day or apparent solar day. It is the derivative of the equation of time and thus depends on the eccentricity of Earth's orbit and the tilt (obliquity) of Earth's axis. Both vary over thousands of years so the annual variation of the true solar day also varies. Generally, it is longer than the mean so...
> Multiplying the value in rad/s by Earth's equatorial radius of 6,378,137 m (WGS84 ellipsoid) (factors of 2π radians needed by both cancel) yields an equatorial speed of 465.1 m/s, 1,674.4 km/h or 1,040.4 mi/h
@JohntheSeagull well, you have to stand up and the hot water kinda helps you soothe the pain of waking up. Eventually you wake up and start actually cleaning up.
If you
checked that it wasn't asked before
thought about the question and its relevance for the SO community
added some own effort in the form of code, examples and/or links
really really want to know this and not just suck out a question to get some reputation
then you should mark that kind...
I have developed my new position on this topic on chat and it's high time I do it here.
A game recommendation answer must link to a webpage that does the actual listing of games.
Why don't we keep lists up to date here? Because it is a bad idea. Every edit pollutes the homepage, stealing visibi...
@PopularDemand btw I'm also on the pro-list side here. I want list questions to be objective, answerable and allowed. The only way is to do so is to not vote on single items. (The alternative there was to just ban 'em completely.)
@PopularDemand Actually that doesn't sound too bad as a question, I mean, I've never tried to find an econ exploit like that in FO. lol (retroactively applied)
@PopularDemand I think that's a bad question. And anyway, don't we already have the "Strangest language features" thread which would qualify as an language agnostic version of this?.
Eh. I'm inclined to reopen because Prog SE is still in beta/definition phase. Though I don't expect it to stay open for long if it does get reopened, at this rate.
Idea:
If you have {x} rep (500?) on the source site and 5k rep on the destination site (rationale: you need to be truly sure the question belongs there; 2k rep beyond close voting access sounds reasonable for this), you can nominate a question for cross posting. This appears on the destination s...
The FAQ has said "to prevent exploits/gaming of the system" or something similar since time immemorial, but really, how can you take something back from the community? Maybe if nobody else has edited it yet, but that's probably not worth the code it takes to implement it.
@Fosco LOL. Did you read the study that most religious Americans failed a quiz on religion, while most atheists/agnostics passed? Second ironic news story of the day, LOL
I think new is evil, not because if you forget to use it by mistake it might cause problems but because it screws up the inheritance chain, making the language tougher to understand.
JavaScript is prototype-based object-oriented. Hence every object MUST be created from another object like so var...
