The big orchards store apples in "controlled atmosphere" rooms, and they keep quite well for many months. (Anecdotally true from shopping at Bishop's Orchards in Guilford, CT.) http://modernfarmer.com/2013&#x2

Hadn't heard about Fusion. Not exactly discontinued, but the signs don't look good, either: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/27/vmware_fusion_and_wo... Agree about Docker using built-in macOS vi

If you think the US has managed a recovery, I'm afraid you're in denial. The US unemployment picture is horrible, but being masked by official government figures that ignore the people who've given up looking for work, and in

Kenji's obsessive and hilarious seriouseats.com research into the world's best burger and the world's best steaks and the world's best whatevers are priceless. What surprised me is how this site kinda came out of nowhere

Seeing this gave me a subtle but definite frisson of nostalgia for Fortran (first language, learned in late 60's).

My son would play his bagpipes at Penguin and Pirates games. The people of Pittsburgh are quite generous. Perhaps partly because of their Scottish heritage--there's even an endowed chair of Highland piping at CMU.

Ah yes, Ambassadors! Portrait mode "dumb" terminals, but highly valued for coding given their 48 lines of text. (Twice the normal in the VT-100 days.) Had a lot of those first at the Columbia computer center back in the DEC-20 day

I think you'd find if you dig into any of the corrupt "Clinton crowd" like Rahm too deeply you'd certainly get kickback. Many of the Clinton camp followers have died in suspicious circumstances over the past few decades

They simply started from scratch with an aim to * best support modern hardware technologies, * start from the state of the art in file systems (like ZFS and btrfs, old as they may be), and also * emphasize security.

Siracusa will finally be happy. ;-) Sounds an awful like like ZFS (zero-cost clones, read-only snapshots) but could it be? I would imagine they'd start from scratch to due IP issues. Clearly this is immature technology they want to get

If you found this interesting at all, you have to sample the master of country house humor, PG "Plum" Wodehouse. (His most famous series being the Jeeves and Wooster books and stories.)

Most of these luminaries worked at SAP until recently. Are they being spun out into HARC, or are they just collaborating from inside SAP's blue-sky research group? It would be helpful to clarify what their institutional standings are,

Fracking itself isn't implicated--it's the wastewater injection wells that seem to be the problem.

Bagby does a beautiful rendition of Beowulf. We heard him a couple of times at the Renaissance and Baroque Society of Pittsburgh, where I've been taking our kids for 20 some years.

If you want a wonderful newer translation of Dante, there's a newer one by Anthony Esolen that is muscular, dynamic and just ripping good! ;-) We used it with our kids in our home education efforts. But, yes, the Dorothy Sayers transla

Why would you ever think of Don Knuth as an evil person? From my few years of contacts with him in the early 80's (he was on the board of our company, a spin-off from the TeX project), he was one of the most gracious, kind, thoughtful,

When I was around Stanford in the early 80's (second employee at Imagen, a laser printer spin-off from the TeX project), I'm pretty sure Knuth already handled his email via his secretary. Edit: Oh, right, see the summary elsewhere
