Are you happy to be alive, knowing that untold ancestors lived comparatively short and brutish lives

by bambataa 6y ago
This is something I think about a lot. The most important is to keep things going. Our descendants might have terrible lives for a thousand generations and it would be worth it if it means humanity can get to better times on the other side.

...So what climate scientists have been doing for decades? Yet they were still ignored. So people state more alarming predictions and get told “if only you’d been more moderate and reasonable”. The truth is that most (Western) people simply

Oh! That explains how they managed to get beachy cocktails in the middle of the night. I was very confused too. Overall, though, I do think DeFi has potential. Every attempt to anchor blockchain stuff to the real world (supply chain valida

Do you know of a resource that takes that approach? Computer graphics has always been on my to do list.

Probably the large majority. Drax alone has a biomass capacity of 2.6GW, which is more than the 1.7GW currently coming from biomass (see https://gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ ).

Awkward timing for me. I recently bought an Ergodox EZ and the main problem I have with it is that many of the thumbpad keys are too far away to comfortably use. I never thought of myself as having Trump-like tiny hands before but this keyb

The intended audience of such tweets wouldn’t be Russia or China, it would be the conspiracy-minded wingnuts who might take that as their sign. Who knows what they might try. At the very least it would fuel further social division.

Has anyone left-handed successfully used good pens? It’s something I would like but it seems a waste when I know it’ll just become a smudge.

How does q relate to K? I dabbled a little but the distinction was never clear to me.

How do educators keep track of bullying if it's nearly all online? Given that educators often struggle to detect bullying happening out in the open.

Complete sidenote to the post: I'm looking at this guy's CV and when describing what he did as a head TA he says "developed and taught lectures; designed and administered exams". I thought TAs were meant to be secondary

Thanks for the info (and the child comment). I'm really glad I spent so much money on this laptop.

Sometimes my wifi drops out when I connect a USB-C hub to my MBP (Mojave). I should really look into it.

Until fairly recently UK developers could earn far more by contracting. The job market was weirdly bimodal.

So whatever happened to Virgin Galactic? I know they were planning a reusable spaceship that would focus on tourism first. Was the plan just too complex in comparison to the simpler capsule-on-a-rocket approach? Or do the economics not stac

Won't they just recreate Earth's social structures on the Moon? Possibly with divergence over time but why would they suddenly abandon racism and nationalism?

by bambataa 6y ago
Well, maybe the programs just weren't aimed at you or your family? Maybe diversity programs had a large impact on other people and it would be useful to learn their views before discarding diversity administrators because we don't

Due to the explosion in videoconferencing I've spent some time recently helping family set things up via remote desktop (I highly recommend Chrome Remote Desktop by the way, pretty easy to set up). This kind of thing is absolutely insc

In general I find macOS handles alerting the user very poorly. I don't know why but it infuriates me when icons bounce on the dock for attention. The animation is too insistent for whatever trivial thing the app wants to let me know. O

As a non-American I've never really understood this "oh, in state is still cheap" argument. Does every state have a top university? What if your state doesn't have a good university for what you want to study? UNC sounds

Out of all the social networks, isn't Facebook the one that has the most Trump supporters? Twitter is notorious for being full of the woke left. Most people only find out about Trump's tweets because they get reported somewhere. F

Well, prosecute them for arson. If they want to spend hundreds of pounds on a stick that's their business. All we can try and do is contain stupidity.
