I have worked with chickens across industry (transport, breeders, layers, broilers, day-olds etc) and in homes as pets et cetera. I abhor cruelty towards them and it isn’t justified by any traits they have. The race to the bottom with Chick

It's the nature of free software. The reason GNU and Linux won was because they produced software that was sufficient for the market: servers. The software is also sufficiently good for a PC for software development. There's almos

I don't know if you're being flippant but the information at universities is neither secret nor sacred. Sure, there is a stupid price for academic journals but most of it can be found freely on the internet. Eldership, acceptance

Likewise. The second 360 UI is great but the earlier ones they did just have a real old school vibe.

Beautiful piece, with a great closer (not reproduced here, you should go with it). I do wonder if our society would be better if we had more honourifics and formality. China has instituted social media rules based on qualifications. Many in

So your thesis is that the segregationists were right and there’s a causal link between the decline in conditions for white American workers and the success of the civil rights movement? Why must anyone be content to be poor and equal to on

What is interesting is that, as demonstrated by mass media and social media’s influences over our politics in the last century we can be motivated, but we have let power become too concentrated in the wrong hands. China’s qualifications for

The main thing holding them back for me is the range. A few times a year I do quite long drives, sometimes you get the odd road closure and you've added a day to your trip at best, could be stranded at worst. There will be a phase shif

Wow, an actual scientific experiment. Does anyone with expertise know if such things have been done?

Apple mail steadfastly refusing to permit me to see an email address so I can verify the source of an email. Truly the most cursed.

The worst online fora for support are for 'for profit' companies. I had one where I was trying to get mongosh (or similar, I think they have had multiple shells) to change some print behavior I had multiple users coming in and giv

I had my car break down in remote mountains and that little image had me climb up trees and eventually find a place where I could make a call from. Once I had two bars they could hear me, before that it was the case that they weren't g

It’s interesting their schtick was that they were robots and that the line between man and machine was blurred but I think that really it was just the instrument. A dehumanisation of themselves while exploring human themes contrasts well wi

I love maps that are in non standard orientations. South up as a default I think is a little boring once you’ve seen it but thinking wider orienting a map to how it would best display whay you’re mapping (rather than defaulting North/S

Upper is literally higher up with respect to distance from the Earth’s centre of gravity. When I was 8 or 9 in school we studied Egypt and I had to know and no one could answer. Might have been one of the first things I used Google for.
