This is super cool! I've been thinking about starting a blog with very few bells and whistles. However, I want a couple of quality of life things so I can, say, write posts in markdown instead of HTML. So this is quite attractive. Stil

You framed a correlation like a requirement. Human development involves a lot of things, many of which don't have a strong causal relationship with energy usage. That chart has major outliers on the top right. Most countries toward the

I agree with providing feedback to companies, and sometimes the court is the correct avenue. You raise a good point about how that can help to further everyone's interests. I just think that there is often a solution that's less p

Pretty much nobody would use that on a standalone keyboard either. They had to know the design isn't practical for the stated purpose. However, it does make a nice little trophy/trinket. It's merit based, so getting one could

Your 2nd point rubs me the wrong way, though it could just be the wording. Depending on the organization, by the time it got to you, there may have already been discussions about scope and business need. Unless you're an SME, your eval

I don't see how the existence of one attack vector makes addressing another irrelevant. To infiltrate an encrypted group chat like your scenario, the attacker needs to actually do social engineering work.

If these are correlated, then not every treatment for them would necessarily be as effective against dementia. However, if the cause of the protein imbalances is something people can take steps to prevent, then doing so would logically have

Anyone know what could cause these types of protein imbalances?

You frame it like we're incapable of that kind of thinking as individuals or as a species. That's demonstrably untrue. The problem is that the entities that are tasked with protecting us from shortsighted and other problematic pat

Their vanilla-js example doesn't just create the app, but also creates an MVC framework from scratch. If you're trying to figure out which framework (or none) to use for an MVC organized site, that's the correct way to do the

Wow, the difference was greater than I expected. 1/4 greenhouse gas emissions & 1/2 water usage between least and greatest animal consuming groups.

Flippant response. I didn't abuse jargon and there is no word salad. My comment is clear. You're describing hate crimes and saying police are trying to treat actions against them the same way they treat hate crimes. It's not

Wow, that look brings me back. The library in the city I grew up in had monitors like that well into the 90s. They implemented a library map on them that allowed you to zoom in to see a depiction of an atom, or out to see a depiction of the

China is hardly alone in patent-trolling and government subsidized predatory pricing. The boogyman narrative is a bit of a red herring. Our patent system is broken. Our copyright system is broken. IP laws stifle innovation and are abused by
