You're right, becoming an artisan chef takes too much time for the average person. I never managed a sourdough, but I was surprised how easy it is to make simple French bread. 5-10min to prep the dough, another 5min over the next coupl

Ansible. Every morning I run two commands that are wrappers around "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" that upgrade the entire fleet of servers I manage. They're the same two commands every morning and they'

Browsh is perfect for my use-case, in which I need to test web apps running on VMs behind an SSH gateway. I could use Splashtop or similar but Browsh is so much easier.

I'd totally buy a Framework mainboard if I could squeeze it into my old x220 case.

My kid has spent a bunch of time with Scratch, mainly at school, and more tweaking sprites and parameters than actual programming. I loaded this up on his computer right before school and he was impressed with the examples. I wish the colo

One problem, at least for Southern California, is that the wastewater is located far away from agricultural areas. Doing this would require another water project on the scale of the project that brings water down here in the first place. W

Sheesh. If Impossible Foods really believes in their mission to replace beef then they need to realize that mission is too big one single company. They should be about creating a market category. What they're doing is stifling.

Better yet: airships or even ship ships with decent internet connections and coworking spaces. You could work on the way and the extra travel time wouldn't use up your vacation days.
