I believe you are thinking of Henry David Thoreau, the author of _Walden_ and a friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson, the author of the linked "Self Reliance."

Wow what a coincidence! I was just looking for open source soil spectral datasets earlier today. Thank you for posting.

It is a very steep climb and nearly impossible given the status quo, and it's easy to get discouraged, so I understand your sarcasm. I've spent the past few months studying up on the state of the carbon removal world, and I was en

In the ideal form of net-zero, the direct air capture of CO2 is only needed to offset the hard to abate emissions—ie. jet fuel, global shipping, embodied carbon (like concrete). That future is dependent on wide scale decarbonization (in pro

Perhaps it's "pretty silly," but I would not authorize my health data to be shared with Amazon, and now it shall be against my will. I appreciate your clinical dispassion in this issue, but I believe this demonstrates the dif

Follow up: Called one medical support, and it doesn’t look like there is any data deletion process. Apparently, the heath record will be held for 7 years and the best I can do is delete my account. Hoping a process will soon form but this s

What is precision fermentation?

I believe it’s due to the fact that after several years of upgrades, they started running it today at much higher power (13.6 trillion electronvolts).

You're in luck! Air company is doing just that: https://aircompany.com/products/air-vodka Their focus is on creating high margin low volume products while the process is scaling to stay afloat.

I think I’d argue that it’s beneficial in this case to lean towards abstract figures which must be looked up. What the designer calls intuitive, I might argue is actually easier to misinterpret. One must remember that these are internationa

In your variant do the integers increase in order? Also is the input always integers or is there some “junk” mixed in?

A simple problem with constraints can be really fun. For example, implement FizzBuzz without using any looping constructs.

Sublime Text came pretty close to dying during the Sublime Text 2 years. I recall development slowed down substantially (it was a solo dev, IIRC), and it being pretty surprising when Sublime Text 3 came out.

~10 years ago I was a Sublime 2 user surrounded by sad TextMate users—sad because TextMate had stagnated and was clearly on its way out and "everyone" had jumped to Sublime. When Atom was released, Sublime became the editor in dec

Hyundai cars use the little paddles behind the steering wheel to control regen level. It's pretty nice to be able to coast when you want to.

Sure. What’s a feedback?

I have really been missing window shading lately (and the control strip). Working on OS X and beyond has always felt slower (animations) compared to window shading. It's been 20 years and I still prefer it.

Does anyone else use unit tests as a form of interactive development? For languages like typescript and kotlin, I’ve found them useful in situations where I don’t have a repl available. Custom react hooks are much easier (and faster) to de

Definitely not on strike, and I think it's important to understand that. The owners have locked out the players since December of last year, and waited over 40 days before opening negotiations.

I tried APL out for the the most recent advent of code and had a lot of fun. The oddest thing about the language was that I started dreaming about it almost immediately after beginning to learn it. It really sticks in your mind.

I really enjoy a pairing or mobbing session, but I haven’t figured out a good way to integrate a key part of my process. I usually attempt an aggressive reshaping commit history as I find it allows me to re-evaluate and improve the code, bu

Are you so sure it’s not due to customers voting with their wallets forcing the change? It’s easier than ever to pick up and leave a streaming service. I downloaded all my playlists from Spotify and will move to any other streaming service
