In support of my offline diversion from working too much. Been researching Hugel Kultur. Another approach to raised beds. Most of the research is around what organics in the area I live make sense. https://www.permaculture.co.

Horseshit. The instructor has a serious impact on how the material is presented. I had transform mathematics from David Huffman of Huffman coding fame at the same time I had a similar physics math course. Both got to the same end, but I on

My one trip to Molokai some 7 or 8 years ago. The main market had staples that were primarily split up bundles from Costco. So it seems like (given the other posts) a common model.

Yep, the schism between IBM and Microsoft let to the two products. I preferred OS/2 and workplace shell at the time. Heck, I was using OS2 up until 2000ish. Then got sucked into the land of BSD. I still have a vm floating around of

A lot of the code in libnss (security code) looks quite similar to code that was written in the mid 90s. I don't have archives, but browsing multiple files there is a lot of familiarity there.

The wording of the Santa Clara order (only one I read) is interesting. If one splits time between two locations (both private residences) one residing in one of the impacted counties and one not, is transit between both allowed for? I&#x27

Ports are basically already at a standstill. I personally feel this policy will get altered as the markets tank further.

It’s not trolling, it is an incredibly entitled statement and the type of attitude that gives the tech industry a bad name.

The interesting thing is there are technology intersections, like drones, radio, etc. Discussion here are always interesting in that interesting forms of libertarianism come through, some discussions even what would be moderate positions on

Not true. Many built. Just a lot of red tape around them.

Um, I had a TAship and the tuition waiver during my Master's period at UCSC as well as when I needed to take any required classes post-Masters.

Santa Cruz had a healthier tech ecosystem prior to Bubble-1 (2000s) than it has had since. Sure, there are companies and Amazon and Google have a foot hold not to mention the shuttles. But actual companies, there are fewer than there were

For the most part the same grad students get tuitions wavers, which if accounted for, would up their income for what is part time work significantly.

The problem in Santa Cruz is that the city is bordered by greenbelt and the ocean. Student population when I first attended UCSC was sub(or maybe close to) 10k. It has grown to nearly 20k, counting part time, etc. In that time, the unive

I used to go to Lulu Carpenters as a student back in the 90s. It was a decent place to study then. But the owner has become a jerk toward students. Perg is an institution I still miss.

Downvoted. If one is registering domains and dealing with DNS entries, etc, it’s not a stretch to find someone to setup LetsEncrypt for you. Heck - googling - https://tecadmin.net/auto-renew-lets-encrypt-certificates/

I recall (and had a Jazz drive). I think I finally got rid of it circa 2014 or so. I dropped a bunch of old parts and computers off at Weird Stuff Warehouse. All the old ISA, EISA, SCSI, IDE, etc adapters and all that went along with it.

Oracle is no saint, but Google isn't a saint in this either. Google is one of the strictest companies I've talked with when it comes to people working on personal projects, contributing to open source, etc. even when in Californi

Weird Stuff is probably my most missed place. I always found something worth buying even if wandering by on lunch. It was dangerous when I worked a few blocks away from there.

I recall a point where I was had to go to Frys because places like Quement Electronics, etc. closed down. Frys was always a "hold your nose" and "be careful/picky" sort of place. Often they restocked bad returns,

I have the study manual, just need the time. I spend a lot of time off grid even if it is just out panning at my claim for a couple of hours.
