I tried Safari/O'Reilly Online and I think it is too expensive. The time I can spend every month for "extra" reading translates to roughly one book. For 49 USD a month, I could just buy the book secondhand every month (a

That article was 8 years ago. Fast forward to 2019, recently the Belarus' ambassador to Russia said that the presidents of Belarus and Russia approved plans to establish a common government and parliament. [1] Their plans seem to be pr

Will grain piled outdoors survive for very long without getting moldy or attacked by animals which like grain (like birds)..? Maybe it does, I'm no farmer!

by jnurmine 7y ago
For grains and similar items, I guess it really depends on the amount of available storage on the supply side and the duration of the failure. The grains themselves might withstand the delays but the disruptions would still be present (dema

My takeaway from this is that the logistics network is very brittle and contains many weak points: "A disruption to any of these [nine] counties [in California] may have ripple effects for the food supply chain of the entire country.&q

Interesting! May I ask what, if any, features do you plan to add that supercede those of Freeplane? As background: whenever I need to grok a larger concept or chomp through a large collection of material, I fire up Freeplane. (It's a f

Nice! Thanks.

Indeed, thanks. I've had the alias for years and never thought to optimize it.

To understand the situation of today it is helpful to understand the past; the European efforts to build up a common pan-European defence infrastructure has been traditionally continuously torpedoed by Great Britain and this has taken place

Well, it did feel "colder" than a cold winter day of, say, -25 C and wind outside, but I don't recall it hurting as such. Then again, I didn't do deep breathing. I'd guess diaphragmatic breathing would've proba

This was at Haikko Manor in Finland, years ago. I just happened to visit a spa which had such a possibility. It was not for medical purposes for me, but nevertheless there was a very relaxed feeling (like that from ice swimming), which last

Ice swimming is an eventually nice experience if you have a sauna nearby. If you like that kind of thing, try a cryotherapy chamber too. The one I tried was a step-in kind of room/chamber and went down to -110 Celsius. Clothing: swimmi

Silly little alias, "git top". [alias] # top 10 top = !sh -c 'git log --oneline|head -10' It shows the top 10 commits. I use it several times every day, to orient myself while flipping between

Well, if the allocation is done with GFP_ACCOUNT bit set, i.e. kmemcg accounting enabled, isn't that the intended behaviour that the allocation can fail?

A first-person survival game (no zombies, just unforgiving nature) called The Long Dark explores this in a way that feels concrete. There's no electricity, except during aurorae when everything electric glitches. After playing the surv

But is it really that difficult to seed the image for that first boot? For example, an installation process using an .iso image could, after verifying the .iso, put a random seed inside the .iso (unpack-modify-pack) as a pre-configuration s

I'm trying to understand what all this means. The recent attacks are said to have cut Saudi production by 50%. The Saudis claim production capacity of ca. 12 mbd. 6 mbd lost to attack. Their estimated stores are at ca. 180 million barr

No, mountains are not very tall in Scandinavia, but remember that the treeline in Sweden is generally at about 700 to 1100 meters (ca. 2300 feet to 3600 feet). The high altitudes at the fells are windy, rocky and cold (and rainy). And the v

It's not only the greenhouses, it's the logistics of getting the food from the greenhouse to the mouth.

Stupid question from a non-physicist: what exactly does the high pressure do here? How does it contribute to the superconductivity?

Sounds like the CLI tools, GNU and otherwise, could benefit from some kind of "--format" switch to define the output in detail. I mean something like ls --format "{ \"filename\": \"%{filename}\", \"si

I think that even without revolutionizing stagnated practises in the US, some points are in favor of indoor farming. Also, indoor farming might never be able to reach the same levels of food overproduction there is today using open fields e

For larger or more complex systems, focusing on a subsystem software architecture from a purely technical execution point of view is myopic, since the overall architecture is much more than a subsystem architecture. Even if a senior develop

About developing new pharmaceuticals: apparently something that works well with mice might or might not eventually work with humans, and it's a slow and costly process to notice this only at the end of phase III clinical trials. If som

About Antarctica and colonization, yes, I agree it is not colonization, but then again it cannot be, since no-one can live permanently in Antarctica because of the treaties (ATS). "Oil rig workers" or not, if people on Mars would
