You should see what happens with cattle when there are two calves at once! And of course this 2% 'I' is not including most of the other LGBT... folks, but some (who've never worked on a beef farm, or done any actual genetics

I like sites to be readable , quickly, and without leaking too much information to third parties. 'Beautiful' Web fonts tilt against all of those metrics.

Many many years ago (late 90s) I used to use ".l" (dot ell), nominally meaning 'local', for this purpose, on the assumption that a legit single letter TLD wasn't happening any time soon, and it was visually distinct

Completely right. Light and day between candid and mocking cultures at places I've been, eg as a consultant. The mocking places have not been the productive or effective ones. (Right now, as an ageing PhD student I'm immersed in

I have, but my M1 MBA is my most powerful machine now. My servers are low-power (eg low enough consumption to be entirely off-grid) RPis and a small virtual machine in the cloud. I used to orchestrate tens to hundreds of desktop machines a

1) There's a free version of AlDente. 2) You can turn off the MacBook's adaptive charging algorithm in Settings.

Maybe try AlDente: https://apphousekitchen.com/ https://github.com/AppHouseKitchen/AlDente-Charge-Limiter When you tell it to top-up, it does. (Yes, I am a paid user.)

You presume that I presume. As other responses allude to, many of the grid-responsive actions that would be useful are on the scale of sub-second to minutes, and happen day and night, eg when people may not be awake or near equipment to man

Interesting, but I gave up as it wandered into conspiracy thinking (and bad physics units). Load control is to keep the lights on and costs down in a system with a high penetration of non-callable generation. And because some dolts$ will i

Sadly, though I also follow beer therapy strongly, it does not eliminate respiratory illness for me. But (OP) following a New Scientist article I now try to sleep on my left to reduce acid reflux problems, and maybe it is working! No drugs

I have one sideloaded app, and that's it other than the built-in ones! Not even signed in to the PlayStore...

As it happens for me in London also I haven't noticed a drop in battery performance, but then my stamina has been knocked and so I may not have been working my M1 as hard as usual...

You could do a lot worse than play around with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and similar! Lots of levels of entry from beginner to ... well ... I have a 100kloc open source 'arduino' consumer product that I can point you at!

Never got to play with one of those, but did use the UK's Prestel a bit. And I'd still like to be able to do the micropayments per page view that Prestel did!

Yep nice piece! (I need to get back to writing for elReg sometime...) I used to work in the City with as many screens as I wanted (though probably never more than 4), then switched to working on a 13" laptop for many years. I recentl

The review is quite positive (and I think sincere) so I pledged for one as I'm trying to improve my laptop use ergonomics... Obvs my secret evil motivation posting here is to get enough HN readers to pledge so that the whole thing actu

Many many years ago when it was the UK/GB Sizewell B reactor public enquiry it seemed to be the case that nuclear industry workers basically had a lower risk of death from all causes ... except for crossing the road! Which might not be

Everyone? GitHub continues to do the job I need of it, and does it well, and for free. I'm no particular fan of Microsoft, FWIW.

That sounds like some missing/delayed ACK or metadata. Can you start another transfer/operation to force the first one to be flushed through?

I wouldn't want to do it.

If feels to me like estoppel: misleading someone to do something to then use against them later.

Note that in the GreetPause case the SPAMmer will not see the rejection errors since they don't look at the response to their hit and run (ie no one gets to see any error, neither sender nor target), and a legitimate sender should neve

How do you view the rest of typical SPAM filtering, where the mail is apparently accepted for delivery but then silently thrown away? For simplicity assume a system such as mine where I control the MTA and client, so no one is making decis
