This is really stupid. An airplane where everyone wears P100 respirators is clearly preferrable to one where everyone wears unvented N95 masks, yet this wouldn't be allowed because all P100 respirators are vented. The only masks that d

God I can't stand Nick Bostrom. I think the great filter is definitely ahead of us, but I'm not so terrified by the implications of this (or so interested in being a pompous contrarian) that I'm moved to bury my head in the s

The vast majority of people that visit national parks stay at campsites that are attached to parking lots, that have running water and bathroom facilities, and that have at least some cell reception. Many of these are attached to well marke

I'm trying to fight the perception that PLBs are expensive specialty gadgets meant for professional explorers [1]. They should be considered as basic and as necessary as a life vest, seat belt, or bike helmet. You should not be backpac

If the rescuing organization is going to ask you to pay for your helicopter flight, they're probably going to ask regardless of whether they got your location from a PLB ping or from "SOS" drawn in the sand. If you don'

You absolutely do not need service to use a PLB. You pay $300 once and fill out a (free) form online with your extended/emergency contact info. A satellite text messenger like SPOT is not a PLB.

Seriously, what the fuck is up with this attitude? People will spend thousands of dollars on ultralight gear, and then balk at $300 for a magic button that summons a helicopter when you have a broken leg. It's literally the cheapest

by ohazi 6y ago
The "search" part of search and rescue is a solved problem. There's no reason to go into the wilderness without a PLB in 2020. PLBs cost around $300 [1], they have five+ year batteries, and they don't require a subscript

This is an ad. It's not even a submarine piece, it's an actual ad, hosted by powder mountain themselves, with their real estate listings at the bottom.

Products like this make me furious. Selling a product whose interface/API/whatever is deliberately obfuscated so that the manufacturer also has a monopoly on a subscription service or an app for said product is blatantly anti-cons

They broke enough of the theming API on every minor release that for a few years it was essentially impossible to run any GTK theme other than the GNOME sanctioned default theme (Adwaita). Adwaita was updated in lock step with GTK minor rel

Is GTK 3 -> 4 expected to be as big a clusterfuck as 2 -> 3? I'd really rather not go through all that again.

Are there no flip-flops in this design? It looks small enough that you might be able to brute-force every possible input.

There are lots of people who have used Linux for years but have never actually gone through this exercise. It's not very fun to have to do it for the first time when an important system fails to boot. It's great that the modern Li

This is essentially the process used for installing the base system in Arch. As usual, the Arch Linux wiki page on this topic [1] is a good resource, even if you're using a different system. If you want to learn more about how a typica

I'm conflicted. On the one hand, this looks way too complicated, and I predict web devs are going to be confused and getting this stuff subtly wrong for the next decade or more. CORS was bad enough, but this looks worse. On the other
