Deal with it how? The whatabout is almost always in reference to some sin in the past. Ain’t nuttin’ we can do about the past, whereas we might be able to do something about today’s issue.

Why on earth wouldn’t I? I wanted to experiment, learn a few things, have a bit of fun. Not everything needs to be super serious.

Dude, the West Coast has been settled for some 30000 years. People have lived in this particular interior valley for at least 3000 years. You find it hard to believe that the Interior Salish peoples don’t have a history?

I guess the snarkers will always regale us with their snide dismissal, but as someone who has lived in one place for going on a half-century, I witness the change: winters had feet of snow and now have inches. Temperatures drops are harde

I’ve personally used AsciidoctorJS + SaxonJS to render pages. I keep intending to see what I can do with the HN API and XPath/XSLT.

If Russia were attempting it, half the missiles would miss by miles and take something out in a Kessler zone. IIRC Starlink are LEO and expected to come down. We can only hope that China is competent and any problems remain in LEO. Losing S

Hilariously, bringing up search on iPadOS (tap on empty desktop space) shows Tips in its best-guesses, but typing “tips” into search hides it.

A whole lot of people don’t learn anything from MLM and pyramid scams. A lot of people send money to television and radio evangelists. A lot of people habitually buy lottery tickets. A lot of people are greedy, are un/disinformed or un

That’s a “colourless green ideas sleep furiously” title if ever I saw one. Successful, though: I clicked through find out what the heck it’s supposed to mean.

XML and XSLT are still very much in use, especially in Europe and industries where data schematization & long-term retention are important. I’ve written XSLT applications for use in banking, healthcare, technical publishing, and complia

A lot of comments in this thread illustrate why battery-swap technology might be the best way to go: many people, and perhaps the majority, do not have access to at-home charging. Swappable batteries solve this.

Your old furnace may well be costing you more in fuel than the cost of replacement. A 1980s furnace is likely well under 60% efficient, plus it drafts inside air up the flue. A new furnace will be 90%+ efficient and the firebox will use o
