There's nothing that says that of course, but my RAM says fooey to webapping a tool like Inkscape. I use it almost every day, I just finished using it to make a poster where I needed to print out a hi-res background with text that woul

This has no replies. I only refresh hn maybe once every day or two, to go through what's on the front page and the comments. This is awful.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Life is hard, even without war, war being something I've been fortunate to have not experienced. I know the capacity is there as Phyllis proves, and I'm no absolutist when it comes

I guess I was trying to add context to where I'm coming from. I obviously haven't lived that person's life, I'm just someone responding on hn. Hence the musician bit, too. Emotions are extra hard via this medium so I was

I grew up in PA in the early 90's, and ticks were everywhere, even in the suburban woods we'd play in. About 25 years ago when my family took a trip to Chincoteague Island in VA, my little sister got Lyme disease. Even in the late

That would've been nice. If Kerr, as described, has had trouble presenting even his quantifiable metrics, polling his hospice patients and using statistics on the responses, to other professionals, I doubt there's a way to get pub

Your mother was clearly important to you. Maybe you should go see a doctor re the shakes. I'm a recovering programmer who's now a professional musician in his late 30's, but just sayin'

I'm assuming that each "vortex" is unique. So for a collection of n vortices, given constraints (probably botching the jargon, I'm a recovering XQuery guy bear with me) of sets of k size, how do you prove a subset of t i

Tangent, but as someone who often finds the tragedy of the commons as the simplest explanation to many things, I'm interested in hearing your take on it

I think you hit it on the head. Value is subjective, and they'll charge whatever they can get away with. People will stop paying when it's no longer worth it to them (which will hopefully be soon as other models are embraced)

New Albany seems situated nicely for domestic distribution, and also European distribution as it's about 150 miles from Cleaveland. Maybe there's another port it's closer to, I don't know much about Ohio. But if Intel ca

Reminds me of 2 B R 0 2 B by Kurt Vonnegut, just the opposite since they had a quota and no one could be born unless someone died: "Thank you, sir," said the hostess. "Your city thanks you; your country thanks you; your plane

I see where you're coming from, but, Frank Zappa said longhairs ruined music: the business brains knew they didn't know, so would try anything. Then, hip kids who thought they knew what was popular started falling out of school wi
