And you don't get nutrients out of the soil (in the form of grass) that you take somewhere else. It's a good thing, and goats are cool (if they can't go near your car and eat parts of it.)

I use intellij at work, but they gave me a macbook pro with 16GB of ram and a SSD. It still manages to beachball once in a while, but the functionality is worth it. At home on my desktop (4Gb of ram and a HDD) I switched to Emacs + ensime.

I guess it goes like this: at first you don't understand a particular construct (pointfree style, monads.) Then when you kinda get it you tend to apply this new tool to everything. After a while it just get "downgraded" to it

And go back to what has been the norm in the 50s. I have a few books from my grand father, by Eugène Aisberg: "La radio, mais c'est très simple", and the equivalent one for analog televisions. They explain the basic working p

Remotely activated locks? What's the use case for this? Call your girlfriend when you're locked outside your house and ask her to open the door with her cellphone? There seems to be a high risk for little benefit, or perhaps I don

Coffee, tea, tobacco and alcohol are all "raw" products. Coca Cola was engineered to taste good. If all drugs were legalized I'm sure we'd get some excellent space cookies or strawberry flavored psylocibe products.

My reply was semi sarcastic, and targeted at the assumption that being old equals having a useless life. TFA states that most of the elderly still enjoy being part of a community and contributing to it, sharing their time and the food they

That's a problem in France, everything is centralized in Paris. There are aternatives though: I worked for a few years in Grenoble (I'm now in Lyon) and there are interesting meetups in Geneva and Lyon which are both about 1 hour

The one I've seen were not installed on the toll booths themselves (those are only there when entering or exiting the freeway) but on separate kind of portals above the road. A camera records the traffic, a computer extract the plates.
