I prefer dead trees because they're not reporting what I'm reading, for how long nor where the cursor travels on the page. I find people recording my reading habits and preferences to be extremely dangerous given the current poli

Which species of crops? Because I have never seen that with winter wheat, common oats, #2 dent corn, soybeans or sorghum. They grow all of that within 300’ of my home. It may be that the farms near me are worked by smaller operators and th

I live in a very rural area, and have never seen winter wheat sprayed with Roundup to speed up harvest time. I have seen it sprayed in the early spring, but never when kernels are on the plant. Given that a majority of wheat is winter wheat

The “culture” and “movement” was marketing by someone selling conferences and books. “What is your devops culture” has to be one of the most asinine questions of the last 10 years. It all described a way to get to continuous deployment and

That is unfortunate, I have had good luck with the 2 I have owned over the last fifteen years. They had a toner window that I’d have to cover with tape to avoid toner low messages, but that is the extent of their games.

Or just allow and trust the readers to make their own conclusions. I swear, HN readers bitch about the content silos on Web 2.0, but throw anyone still writing on their own blog onto a spit and crank up the heat. Who really cares if the int

In practice it should be better, but it introduces its own awfulness. It requires retuning the scheduler loops, if there needs to be a scaling increase, the tasks run the risk of timing out.

The limestone crusher a few miles from my home can’t use more than 400-500 kW/hr judging by the power lines. That is limestone, the article talks of basalt which seems would require more.

Sorry, but that is a cute way to say "take water from people who have it". For decades, southwest states have put up billboards in rust belt states to entice workers to move in order to keep workers filling their economies. Much

Please just stop with the thinking you are the only generation that has been or is being screwed. I can assure you, most boomers are not retiring “very well off”. $400,000, the average price of a home these days, is not a lot of money to li

Governments waste money on things which “we” do not agree. Noticeably absent from your list is education, which I am not implying is intentional nor do I wish to say you are against funding it. If the function of government is to help run a

It is. If you really want to get after the password scans, iptables and connection tracking. After N number of new connection requests, drop for X minutes. Any IPs that are trusted, put ahead of that logic.

How is someone born in 1937 a baby boomer when the term baby boomer describes post-WWII births? Someone born before 1945 can’t be a baby-boomer.

I’d like to play, but this UI design is awful. Talk about encouraging someone to view their remaining time as precious, someone born Jan 1, 1970 can expect to tap or click 240 time to get past the first question. Edit: found you can click

Zoning exists as a common protection of property values. You may have no problem living next to a solid waste disposal site, but if they built one next to a home you owned for twenty years, you might come to appreciate zoning. Make no mist

Your memory is correct. This was the default setup for WSI’s TV weather system. Early systems used Indy/Indigo^2 boxes instead of the O2. In later revisions, they had terrain mapping but it required 8 gigabytes of ram for the texture
