Really? I've been dealing with Gandi for something like 20 years and have never before now heard of anything like this, nor experienced it. Some evidence, please.

I have the same issue with numerous TLAs, most frequently around here: "NLP". My usual thought sequence is "'Neuro-Linguistic Programming'? Uhhh, no... it's not that, not in this space. 'Near Letter Perf

Goats or sheep. Goats are not so good if you have trees you value, so a couple/3 sheep? Plus you'll get to harvest some wool. OK, so I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek... Another answer is: Get rid of the lawn. Sheet mulch an

An project that looks interesting to me is Cwtch, precisely for its focus on metadata leak-resistance. It seems to be more of a research-focussed project right now, but I think looking in exactly the right direction.

Absolutely. The whole thing of "living in the internet" sounds absurd when you apply it to any other technologies. Imagine: "I want to live in the telephone." "I want to live in the electric." "I want to l

Donald Trump super-rich??? I thought he was mostly living off dangerously, wildly overextended debt.

The argument that he's a flight risk is quite strong, supported by his historic behaviour. No, I don't think they should be holding him at all, given that extradition has already been refused, but this is about punishment and veng

Absolutely. I was watching Alan Kay's "Inventing the Future" talks recorded a few years ago, and this was a thing he referred to in passing. In recent month's, every time I run across the whole "OO is evil/dead

As long as it takes to either - solve it, or - to realise that it's insoluble, or - to realise that the cost of finding a solution cannot justify the expected value of a solution.

Car rental companies aren't in it for the long term. iirc they hang on to a vehicle for an average of something like 8 or 9 months (Was told this many, many years ago, so probably a bit out of date, but probably not off by much.)

Lovely idea. I would like to see a comparison of the energy requirement for hardening wood this way vs. making steel. Would give a better sense of whether this is a technology worth pursuing as one path toward decarbonising the future.

The sporadic nature of blocking in Uzbekistan makes it look (to my naive eyes) more like incompetence than a concerted determination by government to block Signal.

70-80dB is really very audible. I'd imagine much worse for dogs given how sensitive their hearing is. edit: Must confess I'd not thought of the potential effect of the device on animals.

I don't believe anybody would make such a claim. The Design Patterns (GoF) book explicitly has a complete section about "Applicability" for every pattern it discusses, and makes no bones about circumstances where a pattern is

Not sure... It seems likely to me that people who've been forced to work from home during the Covid pandemic tend to have crap office-space because it's only temporary . In contrast, people who have made a conscious decision&#x

Did you mean "#0#", "star-hash-0-star-hash" or perhaps "star-hash-0-hash-star" (which would result in the text of your post)? None of them did anything at all on my phone.

Until FB stops sucking, the volume, frequency and intensity of the commentary should continue to increase. "It getting old" is precisely what FB is waiting for so that they can continue their shittiness without consequence. Sadly

You're right, of course, but I still found it fascinating and inspiring to get some idea of what Venus would look like with seas (and a reasonable temperature to make that possible, no doubt). For me it doesn't need to be correc
