  • How can I make the most of my 3/4 monitor set-up?




    I can span KSP across them, but that doesn't really help me as much as I'd like. What'd be really useful would be the ability to show the orbital view on one monitor and the staging view on another. Is there any way to achieve such a thing?

    Normally when I'm faced with a problem …

  • One of my favourite hosting companies is recruiting using anonymous online interviews, in an effort to combat industry sexism

    ...

    So, in May 2015, we made the huge decision to start an anonymous recruitment process. The biggest change compared to tradition recuiting is this – your first two interviews are truly anonymous. We conduct them over instant messaging and run our skills tests remotely too.

    You won’t even have to give your real name or a …

  • Is it possible to 'blow' a whistle or other wind/brass instrument underwater? How?




    Wind and brass instruments (which I've just learned are collectively 'aerophones') work because since characteristic of their shape causes the air that is pushed or drawn through them to vibrate at particular frequencies. They work in air whether you're down a mine or at the top of a mountain, so there's clearly some tolerance …

  • Dan in hospital

    Guess where I woke up this morning, MegaMasons?





    So yeah: that's not entirely pleasant. A couple of days ago I was diagnosed with what was supposed to be a minor bladder infection and given antibiotics. Then yesterday I became feverish and collapsed. And now I'm in hospital.

    But on the upside, they've spent all night pumping me full of some kind of …

  • Engagement level by MegaLounge

    [x-post /r/MegaMegaMegaLounge] [Graph] Tracking 'engagement' across the MegaLounges. Why are some Megas more-active than others? (interpretation in comments)



    In /u/10_9_'s recent thread about gilding trends, /u/razerxs made an interesting observation: that the huge 'drop offs' in membership of MegaLounges after /r/MegaMegaMegaLounge does not correlate with their expectations, based upon the level of activity in /r/MegaLoungeV. /u/razerxs

    observed that e.g. /r/MegaLoungeV is a highly-active sub, which isn't necessarily what you'd expect if the activity level …
