I'm surprised I've never heard of this. The results seem pretty good too. Searching for my username on DDG returns an entire page of results on "glanders", a "contagious zoonotic infectious disease that occurs prima

For anyone unfamiliar, this is a clever riff on a classic economics joke about the Efficient Market Hypothesis [1]. "Two economists are walking down the street and one of them notices what appears to be a $20 bill (or a $100 bill—the m

That is very cool. Alas, most of the other hardware engineers I work with can hardly write C, let alone Haskell, so I very much doubt I'll ever be able to use this at my job. But I like to see that there is innovation in this space and

Indeed he was! He was also quite outspoken against the treatment of Native Americans (at least, relative to his time) having spent a significant amount of time living among the Cherokee. This won him quite a few enemies, as the "Indian

Agreed. Also there is a lot a person can do on Facebook that is _not_ social, such that satirically equating "spent more time on Facebook than initially intended" with "spent more time with friends than I initially intended&q

This is a good point, and as long as public schools are funded from property taxes I think this will continue to be a problem.

> Allowed IPs: 192.168.1.0/24, 0.0.0.0/0 Is this redundant, since 0.0.0.0 should include the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet? Not being a smart alec, I'm actually asking: I have an okay-ish understanding of networking stuff but

The company is based in Switzerland and is French speaking. Any chance "AdVite" means something different in French? Apart from that, their website states pretty clearly their privacy policy [1] and other terms [2]. It doesn'

I think your analogy is in bad faith. What rapsey clearly meant was that it's absurd to expect to get something for nothing. No business can operate that way, so if you're not willing to pay money then you're compensating the

Any familiarity with the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation? It's the only one available at my library, but if the Burgin/O'Connor translation is truly superior I'll just get it on Amazon.

They may be without a profit motive but individual bureaucrats and legislators certainly have a power motive which is often just as, if not more, insidious.

I do this exact same thing! If I write a new Zettel that references something I read in a book (for example), all I do is get the ISBN of the book (usually off of Amazon), use Zotero's auto-import feature, copy the reference and paste

Totally agree, however the big draw for me is that with Docker/docker-compose I can keep all of the configuration in a version controlled repository along with all of the other apps/services I run on my little server. Of course it

I actually looked at Gitea first but as far as I can tell they don't have a working Docker image for ARMv7 (I'm running on 32-bit Raspbian). I manage everything in a series of Docker compose files managed in version control, so no

The email is space-stuffed meaning it was probably written with format=flowed[1] (you can tell because there are spaces appended to hard-wrapped lines). That RFC was invented precisely for the purpose you mention: hard wrap lines in "d
