And Mossy Earth: https://www.mossy.earth/ I'm a big fan of their YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MossyEarth for well produced videos on their various restoration projects across Europe. Very inspi

Maybe it wasn't as bad as last year, but it snowed in Dallas last month and still shut down the city for a week.

Very neat. The first thing that comes to mind is combining this with Processing. I'd like to try making some kind of interactive generative art + music toy.

Glad the SEC and DoJ are cracking down on this scum but when are they going after Elon Musk for blatant stock manipulation via tweets?

Seconding this book. The section on closures helped me solve a tricky parsing problem for a research project.

This is news to me. Do you know of a good article that summarizes Vault 7?

Then make room for 5000 in every city, and do it with a federal program so individual cities don't have the incentive to cut back on it. Homelessness is a national problem and demands a national solution. The federal government has no

Nice. I've been thinking of switching to the KDE spin. My bad experience is with dnfdragora that comes with the default Gnome and XFCE spins.

It's broader than that. Fedora's package manager, dnf, is quick and snappy but it's GUI counterpart is sluggish and always hangs mid update.

Density brings in more tax revenue to pay for expanding the sewers and can support more mass transit to reduce traffic -- no street widening needed. In many cities, it's the poorer denser neighborhoods that subsidize the more affluent

I've never used Django, but is it really that much easier to manage than a modern Java framework like SpringBoot or Quarkus? It's pretty fast to throw up a REST endpoint, and annotations have replaced much of the old boilerplate.

That's very interesting. I thought it was odd that so many writing systems for indigenous languages[0] use invented alphabets instead of adapting Latin letters but this makes total sense when the written form is a source of pride and i

Was it balloon timbered with plywood walls? I've seen those popping up quickly, and they look very flammable, with thin support frames and walls, and a high surface area to volume ratio. The wooden building in this article looks differ

I've been surprised how many (copywrited) old movies I can find on YouTube. Individuals upload whole movies in lower resolutions and YouTube Movies itself has full length films in 720p and 1080p, many free with (easily blocked) ads. Yo

Way off topic for a discussion about schools, but your comment reminds and enrages me about Abu Graib and how they court marshaled a few low level enlisted soldiers and nothing happened to the colonels, generals, and high level DoD official

Being fired or resigning in disgrace. If my bad advice cost thousands of lives, I would at least retire from public life.

Something Awful solved this problem twenty years ago by charging a small fee ($5) to register an account. "Banned" users could re-activate their account by paying the fee again. "Permabanned" users would have to jump thr

A benefit if it being in public domain is a variety of new editions to teach from. Cheap paperbacks containing just the story and which cost just above the cost of its paper and ink. Slightly fancier versions with introductions by literary

Agreed. This will only make clickbait and sensationalism worse, and starve boring but vital reporting on local government.

How did It's a Wonderful Life fall into the public domain when so many other movies of that era haven't? I often wonder how many other buried gems we're missing out on.
