Some might see legalized euthanasia as a benefit. Really, though, I was making a sideways joke about all the "cured in mice" headlines we see on HN.

Anyone else envious of the health care packages lab mice have? They get free exercise and nutrition programs, get cured of diabetes and other chronic diseases. You name it. They must have a great union rep!

There is. You have to zoom in on a region. I zoomed in on Portland, OR and found areas of light pink. I'm more curious why the Sahara is considered a neighborhood with limited street access, but the sparsely populated Oregon High Deser

Reminds me of an app I saw in the late 90's developed with Delphi. I never used Delphi, but apparently it had the ability to compile an app to an ActiveX plug-in and run a full desktop-like application in Internet Explorer. Of course,

I'm not sure that would scale. According to their website ( https://www.draxbiomass.com/ ), each plant produces about 1/2 metric tonne of wood pellets / year. The Drax plant uses 7 million tonnes / year, s

I'm mixed. I enjoy programming video tutorials, but they are often too slow and padded with non-essential and repetitive information. Unless there's a transcript, searching for a part that you need a recap of isn't much diffe

The good news is that banks really do not want to foreclose on delinquent loans. It's a long legal process, and it's a money loser for them. I can't guarantee jack squat, but most likely the bank would be willing to work with
