Having watched my mum, and now my dad decline in old age I couldn't agree more. I don't like the idea of dying, but the slow slide into immobile sinility is positively terrifying. I'm in my 40s. I've resolved to look aft

So much this. Almost none of them are long enough to comfortably put a laptop on a stand and have the hub on the desk. If they would at least make the cables a bit longer it wouldn't be such a pain.

That struck me too. One of the first casualties of this sort of purity spiral seems to be simile and metaphors, everything gets taken literally and in totality.

True, but in the context of the populations of India and Pakistan (about 1.38 billion and 220 million respectively), 100m views is not that many. Although I assume people are listening to it through other means too?

Yurp. I live in the south of England and even here I take vit D for pretty much that time period or I end up with little to no energy. I always make sure to go outside as much as I can, but when the sun is coming up at 8am and has gone down

My physics is very rusty. Why is molton salt more efficient than water for heat transfer? Is it simply that you can get it up to higher temperatures and heat systems are more efficient at high temperatures?

There are definitely genetic factors in the risk that cholesterol poses to the body. We are finding more and more genes that impact either how we digest and process food, what we do with excesses, and how our bodies react to all this. Then

Perseverence and Ingenuity just keep on giving, I love it. I have often wondered if you could get more benefit from sending several similar rovers to the same place so they could cooperate and do more, but this mixed mode approach seems bet

Dogs seem to hunt pretty much anything. I wonder if we've bred out the understanding of what is and isn't edible in dogs, but not cats? Or perhaps its a social thing that wild canids teach their young? Half the dog owners I know h

Well that's disturbing. It doesn't bode well for how they are building their self-driving systems. A simple set of ultrasonic reversing sensors would be enough to prevent this.

Hah, I like how this has one of the main issues I have with carousels, not enough time to read a slide before transition.

And of course you might discover that the decisions were not weird or arbitrary, and were in fact guided by a genuine need, or some context you are unaware of. While it can definitely backfire if your product people never push back and agre

Ah, right, thanks. So it's specifically the requirement that the footage be handed over without a warrant that is unconstitutional. So, are they expecting this to be overturned?

Ars Technica. Not perfect, but one of the best tech news sites in my view (especially their space coverage and their occasional deep dives on a science topic). And its comment section is, mostly, worth checking out. Like anywhere it can get

I'm British, so apologies if this is obvious to people more familiar with the constitution, but is this actually against the letter of the constitution? Have CCTV cameras run by the government/police been deemed to be unconstituti

I love how one of my highest upvoted HN comments is about how to eat Marmite as a beginner… I’m not sure what this says about me :)

Well that’s something I’d never have thought of doing, and now really want to try

Well that’s tomorrows breakfast sorted :) I know someone who puts a touch of salt on his peanut butter, so I can definitely see marmite working with it.

by noneeeed 4y ago
Just a tip for anyone thinking of trying marmite for the first time, it’s strong stuff you are supposed to spread it on thinly, not dollop it on like jam. Hot toast, a thin spread of real butter that melts into the toast, then a thin spread

Yeah, I know the benefits, just worried about the damp issues. We are on the boarder line of areas where it can start to be an issue, worked out based on amount of rain and wind as I understand it.

Definitely. As a smallish mid terrace, our house has very little exterior wall space that isn’t already taken up with doors and windows. Air source heat pumps are being pushed by people with well insulated semi or fully detached houses with

Uk houses are not designed around warm air heating, wet radiator systems are the norm. I’m not sure you could retrofit warm air into most two storey brick houses in the UK particularly easily.

I keep being tempted by retrofitted cavity wall insulation, but then I read some of the horror stories and it puts me right off. However our house is reasonably well insulated otherwise, and mid terrace do I’m not sure if it would make that

It's optional. By default strings are mutable, but you can freeze them individually, and you can set a directive that makes all string literals as immutable on a file-by-file basis.

Interesting. Reminds me of my time at university using something called Progol. You gave it positive and negative cases and it's algorithm would (very slowly) try and come up with Prolog code that fit it. It was an interesting idea but

The accidental thing seemed implied by the article, that the changes were an act of "resistance", rather than something that was designed for. My comment was more a criticism of the article than of Le Corbusier, whose work I mostl

It's a very light article with a title that over-promises. The fact that Pessac was easily modified appears to be accidental, and the article finishes with a passing comment by LC that I wholeheartedly agree with, but doesn't real

Seriously. I got shot down on the last Google related thread about this issue because "what about the scammers". I get it, you need a process for stopping the scammers/psammers, but any system you create will make mistakes an

The original Winnie the Pooh stories are genuinely wonderful. If your only exposure is the Disney version I thoroughly recommend reading them. I've always loved the way that the other animals treat Eeyor.
