If you're into this, I recommend the classic book Shelter ( https://www.shelterpub.com/building/shelter ). It documents the design, construction and use of many styles of shelters around the world (including yurts).

I've been hearing about some good things happening in France too (and many further afield). Bec Hellouin is a productive, healthy farm in Bretagne which follows permaculture principles. They've been taking part in studies to see h

If you’re interested in a recipe for running a profitable, small farm I recommend the book The Market Gardener by Jean-Martin Fortier. There are a lot of other examples around of similar farmers, e.g Curtis Stone, Ridgedale Permaculture ( h

The help section is impressive as well. It's clear that you each put a lot of work into this. Thanks for sharing the code. I think this was my first time reading Delphi! Porting it to JavaScript sounds like a significant endeavour. But

I don't think this post is suggesting that all agriculture should take place in food forests. That's obviously not going to suit some species and would not be a balanced approach. Folks definitely get yields of more than a snack o

There's science and technology all the way along the sustainability spectrum... but it isn't evenly distributed. I'm new to growing and enjoying the steep but rewarding learning curve. Soil is an amazing thing and I think hum

Development of arable land is a problem, but our agricultural practices are a major one. I think shanev is speaking about the effects of modern agriculture on top soil. We should prioritise the _creation_ of soil. Instead, top soil is being

There are definitely some unhealthy aspects of surfing culture. Surfers will sometimes grow to feel they have a degree of possession or responsibility for an area. For some this makes them hostile to traveling surfers. But the vast majority

That probably is a truly sensitive location! I mean secret spots. Places that maybe only a few locals know about. It takes years, sometimes decades to learn about these places. Sometimes a photo will appear online and a quiet place becomes

The hostility depends on many factors. Some areas are more hostile than others, and individual spots. Here are some things that could lead to a negative atmosphere developing, from the point of view of a non-local surfer arriving in the lin

When there's a very strong aurora I think folks even see it as far south as the border. That's pretty uncommon though. I'm located right near Dunnet, the most northerly point of the mainland. Aside from summer when it's

I'm lucky to have a good view northwards off the northern coast of Scotland with very little light pollution. Occasionally an AuroraWatch UK alert will come through when conditions are right - little or no moonlight and clear skies. I

It takes a lot of time for a surfer to build up knowledge of a surf spot and what conditions make it work. There are more than enough spots that are common knowledge, but there are a few that are best ignored. We've received quite a lot of

Nice one. Maybe a photo or video of a spot isn't enough. You could allow users to contribute optional info on the conditions, like how often sets are coming through, wind etc and maybe a rating.

The HTML5 meter element lends itself to star ratings perfectly. Using divs with classes seems a bit old-school for today, although the blog post does say how they don't want to use JS for this. I wrote a Raphael powered polyfill for this h

I'm glad I didn't stop using it. Thanks Chad and Steve. I wonder if they have plans for further development, or are just going to maintain it?

What a bummer. Reading the acquisition announcement from 2007 ( http://hivelogic.com/articles/corkd-has-been-acquired ) shows that the founders Dan Benjamin and Dan Cederholm will be pretty disappointed. "Cork’d couldn’t have found a better

For what it's worth, I keep 2 fig bonsai trees next to my airport extreme. They're just as healthy as when I put them there, but figs are hardy little buggers.

Understandable, but still a shame. We've got a wave going with about 14 people planning our trips to Ruby Kaigi in a few weeks. It's working really well and has definitely provided value that would be tricky to find elsewhere. Could Wave ha
