As a plot owner, at least in Europe, you cannot make a living with just the trees. At the moment, and this is expected to worsen with the time, we go through series of very harsh weather conditions over long periods of time. We have a lot o

It is what I say to everybody: I am very happy that you can find no traces of my childhood on the Internet. I was never a problem kid, teen and student, but we had parties, fun, we enjoyed life knowing that the day after what happened would

It also depends on the number of languages you already know and use, and way more important, if you are forced to use it or not. If you are native Finnish speaker left alone in a village where the only practiced language is Arabic, you are

To complement, in the EU, if you have two prices, one on the shelf and one on the box, the cheapest one is the right one. The only goods where prices are printed on the "box" are not in boxes, they are books or clothes. When ite

If you follow the link, they just state again: "The actors behind this campaign, which we attribute to a government-backed entity based in North Korea" but no details at all. This is why I allow myself to be skeptical. I would pro

North Korean government-backed entity : This reminds me that one of the approach of the "western" agencies was to hide themselves as coming from North Korea to run their operations. I would just write it as: "an entity"

Last week, my son had to make a podcast for school. He created a series of small sequences with his mobile and I told him I would make a big mp3 out of it. I had never used a sound manipulation software before, but within 2h (including do

It is great marketing but also way of life. This is the same as quality vs. quantity. Consume less but better. Buy less food, more expensive, but do not throw it away. Buy a good pair of shoes which you can get fixed and use for many years.

The real problem here is that to get your raw materials to produce your wine as cheap as possible (think your BOM), you have only one option: high density, low manual work and very high levels of chemicals to compensate the high density.

I will write something most likely controversial for HN, but I think what you write is very North-America and computer related "centric". As for the context, I am French, over 40, Master in France, PhD in Denmark and working in

For another reference point, the "cost of life index"[0] in Germany went from 79,9 (in 2000) to 105,8 (in 2020), a 32% increase. DESTATIS provide all the details of the calculations of this index and also how it changes over the y

If you combine the tradition of "ghost" run and drop-shipping, you do not need that many control of points in the production and delivery chain to inject your payload. The payload can be at the Bios or hardware level.

As a chemical engineer, I must say that I was never disappointed with the content of the Wikipedia pages. Of course, as I have spent 3h/day for the past 15 years improving fluid phase equilibria calculations for the chemical industry,

Yes, the three of us lost our sense of smell. Now, I am back and can smell again, but I cannot smell my body odour after a workout even so normally it smells really. This is at the moment the only thing I cannot smell. The questions are: is

As an anecdote, our complete family was infected early December. I lost my smell and taste capacities for about 4 days. My wife and oldest son (13) still have very limited smell and taste. But now, I still cannot smell my body odour when I

We started a very large computational intensive project in Fortran. It is still easier to do maths in Fortran than in C/C++ and now, Fortran has a wonderful C binding system allowing direct call into C .so/.dll if you want to do s

Sorry for the confusion, I was thinking about the pictures one can share as "status", not the status string which effectively is not used at all around me (I am in Germany).

The status is definitely something people using WhatsApp are missing on Signal. This is a very easy, low engagement, no pressure way to publish news to friends and family. What I really like about it is that you are not forced to look at th

The real cost (building, etc.) will results in a way more carbon intensive production as anything else. If you consider that Denmark electricity is 66 to 75% oil/gas/coal produced, the real environmental impact of this farm will b

We simply master Fortran because of all the number crunching we are doing, nothing more.

Because Fortran is FORmula TRANslator and it is very easy to express complex equations with it. It the lingua franca of scientific computing.

Working daily with a blind scientist, I am translating the equations from old papers without good OCR in Fortran to discuss them. I haven't found a better way, but we would definitely appreciate more accessible content.

You are totally right, but for the milk you just bring it to boil and stop. Quickly, 3 times in a row. We know very well that you theoretically just need to cross the 68°C boundary to cook the proteins of the bacteria. But if like me you ha

by Loic 6y ago
Boil it three times in a row if you want to be really safe. Boil, wait 30s to 1 minute, then boil again. This comes from the traditional way we handled milk as it was fresh and unprocessed. I then let it cool as usual before washing my nose
