I've dealt with my share through the years... the most problematic asshole I encountered was definitely in the 'unintentional' mold: friendly, outgoing, always willing to help others... So what made this person an asshole?

As a further science project, why not liberate hydrogen through electrolysis? Much less expensive than helium, and greater lifting capacity...

Yep - Pi Zero W's for the sensors reporting to a Pi 3 for aggregation and reporting.

I like this! I'm already using Pi Zero's like this for temperature sensing; adding a CO2 sensor sounds like a good enhancement!

I'm apparently one of those rare people who never switched off Firefox - it's been my default browser on Mac and Linux for years. Open source, good plugin ecosystem, and does everything I need (not a web developer, so the dev to

Level of scrubbing to clean a dish is dependent on what the for was and how long it remained on that dish after the meal. Restaurants don't need a robot dishwasher to individually scrub and examine each plate; they need a robot busser

I agree it's poorly worded. When I read that, I took it to mean there wasn't enough of a market in Germany to justify a new German translation because of the expense of such a translation, so an American company financed it. I co

Interesting! I'm using Firefox Focus, and it loads fine... There is a prompt at the bottom about my number of free articles, but it didn't affect viewing the article.

I'm gonna play optimist and note Gates' "not for long" in his response. I think we're still early days in fake news, and I think society has been here before: broadsheets, polemics, and a lack of trust in news sourc

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll give it a look!

I'm usually in a terminal, so I use vimwiki ( https://vimwiki.github.io/ ) - it supports markdown, adding pages is trivial, and vim tags or CLI tools like grep makes it easily searchable. It lives in a private NextCloud

I read that headline as "Ship spies largest underwear eruption ever" I can't even say where my mind went, 'cause it hasn't come back yet... Fridays are hard. Especially on mobile screens.

This is a nice workflow - thanks for sharing! We're using Bitbucket, not GitHub, but this would mostly work there too. The one thing I was hoping to see and didn't was adding review comments from the command line. It's appea

One thing wasn't clear to me from this article: did being non-white or non-male improve or hurt a prospective employees' score? I'm assuming in this case being 'non' raised the score, but the article doesn't s

Whether a bias is good or bad depends on the observer. If you agree with it, it's good; otherwise it's not. The parent post expressed hope they were hiring writers who would 'report on the objective state of the world, not p

My last job search, I was cold-called by a recruiter who was working with a local bank. Salary range was acceptable, and there were a few factors pressing for finding a job quickly. Interviews went well, liked the people I met; things look

I've tried a number of approaches to a personal data repo: plain text files, custom database tools, dropping everything in a file folder... My current approach - which I really like - is vimwiki saving to markdown instead of the defaul
