Anabolic steroids have side-effects that increase with dosage, as they don't only affect muscle. Might for example fail the heart or the liver. It's not worth it, unless it's really effective (and its not in this case). I ima

Babashka is really nice in that it has json and yaml libraries built-in, so you end up using your Clojure data structures throughout the script, and yet still consuming/emitting json/yaml if you need to.

I doubt this adds up to more than a billion dollars, which is not a huge amount for a country. The Taliban will still be in trouble and might want to diversify. What is astounding is that the US spent 2 trillion USD over 20 years or about a

Counterpoint: You need to do some processing, like for example create a summary report of several gigs of really big json docs every few seconds. This is a problem that can really be sped up by using more cores. Which option will you choose

Works on any OS (just tried macOS for example), but its not very convenient to set print options. Passed a jpg and it printed out the metadata.

This is a hundred year old technology showing you don't always need the latest and greatest to electrify transportation. We certainly have had all the technology to reduce most CO2 emissions for quite a while, and the economic framewor

You are not forced by the language to wrap libraries. In fact "Programming Clojure" by some of the authors says the following: "Clojure embraces java and its libraries. Idiomatic Clojure code calls Java libraries directly and

I have an Epson inkjet with refillable ink. Cheap and easy to add ink, lovely photos (which I actually print a lot of - for elderly relatives). Only complaint is that I need to connect it over 2.4Ghz

Well, for 150 years they were similar in per capita income (and everything else really) and they started diverging in the 60s and 70s. And you also have another non-Hispanic country in Jamaica that has taken a different path compared to Hai

The processors in there are still probably fast enough, they will just be hotter and consume more battery power (and the battery capacity is diminished). If they have more RAM and maybe an SSD + run Linux they'll be fine. A modern OS (

If you are running some software that requires an instance, but is in not expected to create load you can put it in a burstable, and setup such an alert, so you know when it is time to upgrade.

The Radiotochka (Radiodot) is interesting in that Soviet and Soviet block governments installed radio where the signal was transmitted over mains wires. This was cheap to manufacture, regional or even municipal transmissions were easy to ma

Emacs definitely counts given Clojure is largely influenced by Common Lisp and the fact that Emacs is the most popular editor for editing Clojure.

The real competition in terms of price and convenience is a VPS. So to approximate this with Kubernetes you have to avoid the big cloud providers and things like kubeadm as that would mean at least two cores and the resulting price tag (eve

From the TA: The maximum number of pods per node is 32, as opposed to 110 on standard GKE. This is sad.. I don't understand why providers do it. It makes it very expensive to run small staging clusters. There is some reference on the c

One way to to store that carbon by burning the trees is and storing the CO2 underground - it will be costly to extract and worthless to do so and you will get some energy out of it.

by dimitar 6y ago
This is true in the short to medium run. Trees and plants are net consumers of CO2 when they grow, but become neutral when they reach maturity, so they are more of a carbon buffer. The buffer can be freed when they burn or rot, both of whic
