I think the changing light overall is the best part - both the midnight sun and the blue light during polar night. There are ofcourse a number of pictures - but one place to start for the curious is this group with (mostly) amateur photos f

I don't mind the change in light (dark or light) - but a friend recommended sticking alum foil over windows with normal house/floor cleaning soap for glue (doesn't hurt the glass, makes for easy removal). Worked for me when I

Just a note, that with polar night comes a) long winter with sun and snow, and b) polar day.

Yeah, I mostly took issue with the bit about Raymond - not the idea that demanding that someone who saw micro-transactions and copyright as a means to fund authors and artist of the future should also cone up with the idea of Copyleft is

I am in the odd situation that from habit collection[0] feels natural - but I actually think "first element" makes a lot more sense than "item at zero offset". Except maybe for things that are actually pointer+offset (

Linux could actually store more, as could some custom programs for dos iirc - ms dos had some conservative standards in place due to early floppies being less reliable I think. I initially became aware because the Amiga floppy drive/fo

Why does it matter? I suppose you could avoid the possibility of a name clash if the interpreter maintained a hidden, name-mangled reference for you...? Personally I think it's a bigger problem that python isn't all that well suit

I think the closest thing to "python with types" is probably Julia: https://julialang.org/ I think the efforts of adding type/type hints to python are interesting - but there's a tension between "w

Eh, bsd is a bit older than that. Raymond certainly caught the buzzword wave with "the Cathedral and the Bazaar" - but he wrote it after Gnu was started, which enabled Torvalds to write/release Linux etc. Raymond offered an e

BTW, if the handle is to be trusted, I think it's really cool to see original authors embracing free and open platforms like archive.org : https://archive.org/details/@tednelson Even if the hypertext is inferior,

The thing with placebo is that it is an effect. As you say, if it actually helps (and does no harm, or replaces something that helps much more...) - then placebo can be useful and beneficial. It can be difficult to prescribe however..

If they're marketing their own drug (as implied by other comments - I don't know), you might also ask what stops them from running the studio on a 100 groups of 40 patients, and picking the "best" for publication... (oth

Why do you need a load balancer if you don't have enough traffic to justify a beefier dedicated box with a few tb data included and a proper gb uplink? Are you streaming game/3d data or something where each request is really compu

I agree that you would normally end up with a compound unique key, but it might have some benefits to know that your transaction I'd was globally unique. Not jus per month/weekday - but also on geographic region, stores (eg: avoid

That's the opposite of DevOps - that's the old model of separate development and operations teams (the "throw artifact over the wall"-model).
