I wear fingerless compression gloves when coding. They are usually sold for arthritis/carpel tunnel/raynauds. If you get cold fingers these might be life-changing for you as they were for me. Another factor is just getting up and

Very true currently in Kenya, if you integrate at all. People don't usually live in isolation, they are part of a local community and it's natural and expected that they share opportunities and risks with their community. If you c

PKM is the standard term for a whole diverse field of tools and techniques. Belittling it as "entering text" is pompous.

It seems like we're taking at cross purposes. I'm not trying to convince you that anyone says "once as X". I'm just saying "twice as cheap" is nonsensical. Because it's a multiple of something undefin

Once as expensive is a number, it's 1 x the cost. Twice as expensive is 2x the cost. Once as cheap might arguably be 1x the cost, but twice as cheap is undefined.

by Blahah 5y ago
It doesn't make sense. Consider the phrase "once as cheap". Multiply by two. That's twice as cheap. Meaningless.

The state isn't doing anything in this scenario. It's Airbnb and there's no force - people are free to not use it.

You can get a usable partial genome at home using a minion (provided you have access to basic lab equipment and consumables, like pipettes, a microcentrifuge, gel electrophoresis kit) for about $2.5k, and a fairly decent one for $5k (about

I'd chalk this up to the dev team having capacity with people who favour rust. Rather than some organisational or systemic choice.

If you find this interesting, there's an excellent history of precision in manufacturing by Simon Winchester called "Exactly" that includes a fascinating chapter on this. The book's chapters progress through various key

I'll leave it as an aside whether we consider it to be violent for a team of military-styled gunmen - clearly ready to kill - to descend on someone's home. In this case nobody was shot or assaulted. In other cases people have been

Whilst true, this is a situation where kids can do something relatively trivial and easy (make a phone call) and a massively disproportionate outcome in the form of extreme violence is carried out by the state. There are very very few such

I was not suggesting that we need more regulation necessarily. It's a problem of law in that it's entirely made possible (and incentivised) by laws. Patent law and laws governing the development, marketing, distribution, and cruci

Good points, I was specifically thinking about open source components. I use Web components in various frameworks all the time. The crucial thing is that they aren't a framework - they are just a Web standard.

Pretty cool, but it's a problem with the law and needs to be fixed in law.

It's pretty straight forward to integrate anki with almost any tool. For example I use it with tiddlywiki (see https://kebifurai.github.io/TiddlyResearch/ for an example setup).
