What I find interesting is that while the actions of the US have been incredibly foolish and poorly thought through, Iran’s ability to make things hurt is very much a sword that cuts both ways. There is now very strong incentive to develo

I visited Papua among some other places ~20 years ago. The steep elevation changes and extreme rain and infinitely deep mud means roads to many areas aren’t viable, will rapidly degrade if built, or there simply isn’t anything worth buildin

When I wash kiwis I rub the hairs off, and then cut them into thick slices, leaving the skin on. Trying to skin or eat them with a spoon is just a pain, and I don’t find the skin unpleasant. I’ve seen a lot of people also just wash/rub

My list of French bands/singers I’ve explored is so far very limited, but offhand you might see if they enjoy either of the following https://melodysechochamber.bandcamp.com/track/some-time-alon... (not in French

There are also “free living” bacteria that are capable of nitrogen fixing (diazotrophic), but are not as strictly root dwelling like Rhizobia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paenibacillus My company, Wilbur-Ellis, sells

In case you (or others aren’t aware) the FRAG value ZFS shows, is an arbitrary calculation to help give a value to free space fragmentation. The purpose is to have a sense of when ZFS may developing trouble quickly finding contiguous bl

On the context of ethics, oysters are probably the safest thing from the animal kingdom to eat. They’re really the closest thing we have to a meat based plant. Many who consider themselves vegan have no issues wasting them.

Idempotent is definitely a word that’s strangely awkward and alien to actually use, but makes reasonable sense when the etymology is known. The closest alternative I can think of is debouncing/debounced

Yeah what you’ve described a basically how I saw many forums collapse over the years as well. While they all have the basic problems of bringing in and retaining users, many stacked on top of those issues an unremovable set of hostile admin

That’s really interesting, I’d never hear of this before and wouldn’t have ever considered there to be a relationship. Thanks for bringing it up.

Do they have a proper thermal pad + heat sink for the drive? There’s no mention of it in the article. They could have a faulty drive, or the controller could just be overheating. The need for a heat sink on an NVMe drive typically goes like

FYI, before reaching for PDE5 inhibitors, please be aware that these seem to be ototoxic in some way. Common side effects are tinnitus and to a lesser extent hearing loss. When taking these, you should track if there are changes to your hea

I use iPhones (paid for by work) as a tool for my agronomy job. I take a large amount of photos throughout the day to help document what I find in the field. Since at least the iPhone 12, holding the phone still and letting scene sit for a

Funny enough the parts of the lawn that are still grass are what force me to go out and mow it before the seed heads start spewing pollen. Though if you’re allergic to the hay too (curiously, I’m not) you have my sincere sympathies. That sa

It’s one of those sort of articles by someone who has a hobby of philosophy. For non-hobbyists trying to extract information from it, it becomes an effort of self flagellation. A good litmus test is if any attempt at satire would be inferio

It’s the opposite, they do it to fit in more commercials, because apparently people don’t switch away when they talk over songs.

Listening to the local collage radio during my teens was formative, and the exposure to all kinds of things I would have never had heard otherwise still heavily colors my musical taste to this day. Most of the time songs were played randoml

The “it’s built so everything is under compression” is great thing to bring up, but fyi your link is AI generated, filled with senseless repetition and “it’s not just x, it’s y”. Looking it up on archive.org shows it was generated this year

Damn. As a commenter on the page put it, this was “compulsively readable”, I didn’t expect to read the whole thing. Definitely a great read if you have a parent that has had severe failures. This essay is a great example of taking a confuse
