Noone is afraid the TRACTOR will be a disaster tarnishing Rust's reputation? Not unlike Ada's. It is actually pretty good and deeply thought out language. But US govt got involved with it.

Oh, it already happened. Case in point: it is possible to build cheap and fully auditable harware RNG, with bandwidth fully sufficient to replace /dev/random on most servers. I have one. But apparently noone wants such a thing, or

1500sqm is absolutely not needed for occasional nutritional enrichment. That's why I mentioned pot on balcony. But yes, being forced as kid to help tending big garden does leave some scars.

I lost some crops myself but tomatoes still fared better than other vegetables. It's not like some enormous investment? Having homegrown tomatoes every other year is better than nothing. If you have kids, it's a good lesson about

Pervasive loneliness is unhealthy, though. And I fully agree the article is doing same disservice to it as "just stop eating" obesity advice.

Oh my. Everyone who cares about tomatoes grows their own, supermarkets are for the rest. They are not demanding and will grow anywhere there's sun, including in pot on balcony.

Absolutely everything we have achieved as a civilization, depended on lossy communication between humans. And all experience is inherently subjective. Why is all that somehow ultimately futile and requires counterexample not to be? I don&#x

Is it possible to find their remnants in the genome? Since horizontal gene transfers happen other organisms that survived carried the information but perhaps it's too scrambled now.

Low fidelity information transmission is not "ultimately futile" but instead something to build on. Or what do you measure it against?

Can be. It's easier to project it on inner "canvas" than as overlay on top of ambient, but that's still possible.

As long as the useful, non-nutty research is supported, this isn't something to worry about. But...is it? And how to find out? Like, afaik in 2014 OpenBSD was going to shut down build farm for non-mainstream architectures, that did not

Nice. And what about home router configuration, are we still training users to ignore dire security warnings, or is that going to go via cloudflare too? how?

You'll get atrocious CRI/sick skin tones that way. There's much more fleshed out spectrum in nowadays LEDs, especially warm white variants.

Unlike Windows, there is at least the option to use curated software distributions such as Debian or RH that won't apply random stuff from upstream repositories.

What about beaming monochromatic red or near infrared light down toward existing solar installations? Silicon can have up to 50% efficiency at these wavelengths and it's much safer than microwaves, especially visible red light is.

As a supplement to therapy I can recommend neurofeedback. It is a scientifically supported method that basically uses EEG to help you tune up your subconscious stress reactions. Completely noninvasive, used with children too. It has multitu

I have seen Na-ion replacements for lead-acid, the chemistry is forgiving enough for that. No idea how good are they.

EFI stub is an existing kernel feature, not related to systemd-boot. Of course, everything can be wired together with systemd.

Nonsense. Bash is for the OS not for you too? Python's standard library covers most scripting use cases, even HTTP networkingand it's stable you can write script and forget. No need to "control" stuff. For example I am u

There are no slugs nor stink bugs in the UK? These are main topic of discussion in any gardening community in Europe throughout growing season. You can't just spray them away.
