Most counties require houses to be hooked up to the grid. That's why people who prefer living off grid choose unincorporated lands.

Yep, GL4 with DSA was such a big improvement.

Earlier versions of GL were indeed a lot of fun and easy to get started without much learning curve, but very easy to get into a pickle and blow your foot once the project gets reasonably complex with everything being a state in the context

Easy to blame that it's a manual paperwork driven process, but I'm glad that transferring a legal title isn't a one click process. These are not software EULAs and title related fraud is still a big risk even with all the saf

Yes, Dr. Hipp mentioned it once that there is a foundation in place to take care of things and increase the bus factor. I think that was one of the conditions before Nokia signed their agreement to license SQLite for Symbian.

They're seriously understaffed. Forget about the partisan politics for the reasons behind it but a terrible side effect of this lack of resources is that they only go after the low hanging fruits to audit. Like Joey Banana who forgot t

Count yourself very lucky that you never had an issue with the IRS. I had to deal with a mistake that the IRS made erroneously and even after 4 years it is still not resolved. Every 6 months I get a letter that the IRS still hasn't bot

I'd rather have a federated ID system like what we have currently with state drivers licenses/voter id systems. Social Security Number/TIN is already used as a unique identifier for all financial transactions anyways. It&#x27

I'd imagine there's a lot less motivation to build new physical recreation spaces like skateboards etc if almost everyone is starting at a screen every waking minute.

Does anyone have experience with this vList data structure in real life applications? How well does it cache? Any production software that implemented this? It's intriguing but wonder why it never gained traction.

Love the designs - but how is this better than a modern electric pedal assist or throttle controlled electric ebike? They made a lot of sense during the oil crisis but why would anyone really bother getting licensed, paying for registration

Very nice. Not sure how I'd use it but looks and works great. Also, kudos for using local storage.

Great book although I don't really agree his concluding chapter of Category X. I don't think one can materially participate in society and also fully extricate themselves from the hierarchies.

Good. This is likely an unpopular opinion but the internet was supposed to bring knowledge, creative expression and so much more to the masses. Instead it devolved into a dopamine delivery machine with non-stop binge consumption and addicti

I wish this project good luck but I'm glad how SQLite team kinda does it's own thing like using Fossil for development instead of Github, not accepting outside contributions, very different code of ethics document etc.

I'm glad to hear first hand experience. Where does one find other parents who are homeschooling their children?
109.
by rwbt 4y ago
Homeschooling is interesting. I like the idea, but I'd be more worried about lack of socialization with other children or any kind of group learning. Even more so if the child is slightly introverted. This is less of an issue if childr

Reminds me of something Karl Popper philosophized about. I'm completely butchering it ofcourse, but it goes along something like this - Every scientific theory is waiting to be falsified by future generations. He concludes that everyth

That $25/month fee is for accounts that accept payments. I don't think debit accounts will have such a ridiculous fee.

Yes- the drawing cones performance will eventually bottleneck depending on the num of sites, in that case your proposed solution makes much more sense.

If you fill quads, you won't get to use the depth buffer to occlude fragments easily. GPUs can do a lot of depth buffer optimizations before they run the fragment shader.

Jumping Flooding Algorithm (JFA) gives very good results but you need to do a multi-pass render. If you want a single pass solution and let the GPU handle most of the work you can render cones[1] using an Orthographic view matrix. It is als
