There is a fine line you have to thread while copying instructions, usually you can't copy them verbatim. It is a rather strange quirk, if you rewrite a literary works you get slammed by the copyright hammer but not with recipes. So a

The problem is while recipes are facts and can be freely spread, prose about how to make cookies is copyrighted. So you get lots of recipes but the important instructions are losts, and people get used to the idea that a recipe is just ingr

Yes, but the tools become TLS inspection tools instead of general protocol inspection tools.

Sewage treatment is really hard and a costly thing to do, it might be low tech but it is still hard to disinfect water once you have polluted it with water flushing toilets. Grey water is another thing completely but that is off topic here.

A big part of the discussion is going to hinge on what we mean with cities and slower-growth communties. Almost everyone live in areas where public transport is vital. You have to ask yourself, generally when you leave these car utopian pla

Comming from the other side I've dealt with a lot of companies trying to use Openstreetmap, and they are all really bad at it. Two things I say to everyone who want to import data to Openstreetmap. These seems to be very hard things fo

Open address has a good map that show this ( http://results.openaddresses.io/ ), but for any area that is grey on that map you are going to be a long way from that "basic first step" you talk about. Adress data is h

First, I'm a bit sad that you choose to put words in my mouth to paint my argument as evil. Commute times go down with public transport, for all modes of transport, individually and on a population level. When you try to fit public tr

Simply put your commute time is artificially low, by cities designed to be cheap for driving and owning a car. Your anecdote is fine and all, but those problems are worse if you use a car, and they are cheaper to fix in public transport sin

The theory is that making your computer less finger printable and hence less unique is near impossible compared to a iPad you wipe on every use (you still have to use the iPad for other things). https://panopticlick.eff.org&#x2F

Great explanation thank you! The 24 bit and 16 bit variants are highly useable but they are often overlooked by regexps, biggest problem is web apps. Being able to use octal and hex is even less common.

The mess you describe is only a problem if the products you produce suffer; chroots, virtualenvs and Snaps are a nice way to handle the resulting problem. If Nix really does make you more productive then sure this is a great way to solve th

You only need unique passwords and a username. Having a botnet guessing the random "kitten4" password for a random user account, is as likely as having your purse stolen for the passwords on that note. FWIW "m" is almost

I do not disagree with the dangers of air pollution it's just that if you look at large populations of bicyclists there are no significant elevation of risk compared to other populations in this regard. The solution is not to scare peo

A zlib feature is being patent free, that might very well affect speed. I do not know if that is the issue you are describing.

The feeling can absolutely be found here too if you are unlucky. Calling it antagonistic would be hyperbolic of me.

Your comment is anecdata, basing these kinds of statements on personal experiences is not a good idea, the truth is we break the rules with the same frequency what ever mode of transport the use. Furthermore in the statistics for accidents
