Tame had only just been applied in earnest when I started in 2007. Pre-tame code was pretty unwieldy!

I don’t think I agree that it’s fake per se, but it definitely looks editorialized to me with scare quotes around “problematic“.

Ensuring the high supply of genetic material is the easy half of the battle. Ensuring the demand for your genetic material sounds substantially more difficult.

When I first heard “crypto” for “cryptocurrency” I was saddened because it seemed like the meaning was being coopted away from the “real” meaning of “cryptography”. But now, I think we're stuck with it. Words sometimes just have multip

The real question is whether wider audiences of valuable consumers will follow the defecting creators. This feels like a repeat of gab/voat but for video. Neither of those platforms seem to have broken outside of their core bases of “o

1. You deserve my downvote for claiming “no exceptions” in a linguistic matter. 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_phonology#Exact_number... There is no agreement among scholars on how many vowel alloph

Almost anything designed by (or at the behest of) a TV network. From set-top box software to web platforms to mobile apps. They always want to shoehorn their long antiquated paradigms into everything they make.

That Speedmaster won't run "service free" for that long, though. If you go by this guy's account, it'll cost you over $100/yr to maintain such a thing: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the

I completely agree regarding the media being terrible at discussing risk. However, I do think the attention is somewhat warranted because every other developed nation in the world has solved this problem (as is made abundantly clear in anot

Heh. I think your steps 4-8 are all just “step 3 learning pains”. Configuring DNS for a “real email system” is often not trivial to figure out how to do. The steps are usually pretty “easy” (though getting a PTR record sometimes isn’t), but

Funny enough, a battery-powered DHT22 is my next project, so I don’t know yet! But in my other experience the expensive part is powering on the radio, which spikes to 200-300mA at startup and then will sustain around 80mA as long as it’s on
