I did a clone of HN in Clojure 10 years ago (wow, time flies), but it just wrote the state out to files: https://github.com/cubix/simplenews No ClojureScript then, of course. I was planning something more sophisticated

That you could detect that in pocket is kind of mind blowing. I guess minor differences in movement related to operating the vehicle versus sitting passively produces an identifiable signature?

I don't see it as so black and white. Sure, zero trust is the ideal, but there are potentially benefits even there's some trust involved. For example, I saw a headline indicating that Unicef was going to experiment with block chai

Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the definition of processed red meat? I assume it lies somewhere between gnawing on a freshly slaughtered animal carcass and buying beef jerky form the corner store, but I'm not sure where, e

I think so. When I read history from the 19th until the mid-20th century, it's almost like the border didn't exist. People would move back and fourth with little concern.

What I found most remarkable about my LSD experience were the auditory effects. It seemed like my hearing had been dramatically enhanced. I could readily pick out a conversation being held between two people standing a hundred feet away. Of

He might have a point with other units, but when it comes to temperature, Celsius strikes me as more humanistic and intuitive. Zero as the freezing point of water, and 100 as the boiling point is easy for any human to relate to since we int

The video shows one crash last year. It didn't actually appear to be that bad. The shell would presumably spare you some nasty road rash at least.

That video is from last year's attempt.

My wife and I befriended a couple from North Korea who, in the face of horrendous hardship that we can barely begin to imagine, managed to escape by way of China to end up in Toronto. In short order they had setup a thriving massage studio

I did the same except that I put the file onto a network drive so that I could access it from a less conspicuous location. Also, made a crude chat program in a similar manner.

Once, as a child, I recall waking-up and running to the cupboard expecting to find it recently replenished with food, only to discover it was bare. My mom was still out shopping. I realized that I had only dreamt about her returning home wi

My grand father was a railroad electrician for many decades, and I always found it fascinating that he was able to get by despite his colour blindness. Apart from the wires, he had to ensure that he interpreted the red and green signal ligh

Not the military, but if Tesla or someone else violated the law, it's no exaggeration to say that at some point law enforcement, i.e. armed personnel, would be involved. Of course, it's unlikely anyone would take it that far, but

Our company has been using Nexonia for a few years. Not to say there isn't room for competition, but I don't see any differentiator. One feature I would like to see is better integration with my calendar. Nexonia will figure out m

My dad ends up doing this pretty often. He "quits" cigarettes for a while, but eventually starts smoking cigars, surreptitiously at first, with increasing frequency until he reverts to regular cigarette smoking again.
