+1 for Fastmail. Very fast, very reliable since I started using it in 2016. Absolutely the best webmail client I have used. UI not too unlike Gmail. The UI is fully keyboard-controllable for almost all tasks. Great search. Great calendar. G

I work as a researcher and I try to publish full source code for all my publications. On the point of increasing surface for nitpicking, I agree in principle that's a risk, but in practice I have not experienced any such problems in my

Ha, well, thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt. But I am 32 and hopeless when it comes to following popular culture. I was probably just focusing my attention on something else. I have a solid track record of not noticing stuff.

If anyone, like me, did not know what Flappy Bird is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flappy_Bird You control the "bird" (the dot). Click to ascend and fly through the approaching openings.

Short motivation: I was thinking for a short moment to myself, "how hard could it be to support at least some limited reading and editing of .docx files?" Now I know that I will probably never know: the "Part 1: Fundamentals

Some comments have already touched on this, but it is important to realize just how much electricity we are talking about. The tl;dr is that replacing US wheat production alone would use five times the current total US electricity consumpti

Wow, that is a nice little tool. Just installed it and tested on some random files in my current data analysis project. By the way, I installed it using pipx https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx by running `pipx install

Yes, you seem to be missing the light supply. Plants need a lot of light to grow. In a multi-storey greenhouse, the incoming solar radiation per unit floor area is smaller than in a normal (one-storey) greenhouse. Thus the need for artifici

Any other examples, or other support that it is "commmon"? More common than in other countries? I would be happy to learn more.

Not sure that would work, since pdfs are usually marked or prepended with some metadata about download time and the library upon download. At least that's the case with my uni library.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I sort of understand the design decision in Outlook to make the search folders a separate (and flat?) tree. What behavior would you expect from operations like copy, search if you put a search folder inside an

Would you consider a desktop client if it gave you that? I also want simplicity, but synced to my hard drive.

Well put. Could not agree more. In fact, I think any quantitative measure of tangible results would be flawed, at least when it comes to open-ended and creative work (research, exploratory data analysis, software design, ...). In my work as

Yes, it can be a net energy producer given a source of hydrogen, but hydrogen is typically not available for free. See my other comment.

Replying to a number of previous comments on energy balances. The reaction N2 + 3 H2 -> 2 NH3 is exothermic, giving off energy [1]. N2 is abundant and free (80% of the atmosphere), but H2 is not. The most common way [2] of producing H2 i

Yeah, that's pretty disturbing. But I seem to get two different fingerprints. Refreshing the page 10 or so times, I usually get one, and then it switches to the other for another ~10 page reloads, and then back again. FF49 on Ubuntu 16

Thanks! Stylish style installed and seems to work. But it's still bewildering why Fastmail does that. Anyway, I must say it's impressive that they make an email service where this is my biggest complaint :)

+1 on almost everything you wrote. I also moved from Gmail to Fastmail in almost exactly the same way some months ago. I agree completely to the plusses and minuses you mention. I would like to add one minus though. Any good old smiley like

The article does make a few good points, but I also think it uses a couple of unforgivable rhetorical devices. Most obvious are the out-of-context mentions of various "huge numbers", e.g. as follows: "By reducing the need to

Your vegan friend has a good point. Production of animal-based foods typically use 2-10 times more feed (and consequently more land etc) than what would be needed to feed humans directly. The article cites the often-cited FAO claim [1] that
