Several of the author’s steps involve doubling the amount of writing of the previous step. At the logical extreme, you could double at every step, and achieve a better structured story with exactly twice the writing required for the final s

It's possible to extract the extensions source, save it locally, and then manually install it. That insulates you from the risk of a malicious update. (You could also audit the extension for complete safety, but TBH I'm usually to

You know what, fair enough. There's definitely places near me that serve all of those, as well as cask ale, but you do have to look for them. I guess what I meant is, as an American who loves stouts and cask ale, I really enjoyed the c

Real ale is wonderful, I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the UK. I wish it were more common in the US.

I really like the idea of Nyxt, but I had trouble using/scripting it in practice last time I tried (back in June). IIRC, my issues were: 1) Vim keybindings being somewhat clumsier than using Vimium on Chrome 2) Flatpak being tricky to

In Japan, they have a different species of cicada, and cicadas reliably emerge every single summer. As a result, the sound of cicadas is a popular shorthand for summertime in Japanese media: https://www.tofugu.com/japan&#x2F

Mastodon and Lemmy do feel different to me, because of the decentralization. They are providing a foundation that gets built upon with every migration wave, and I think it’s plausible that they will eventually break into the mainstream. Put

For the purposes of scientific trials, I wonder if it would be easier to find ways to induce twinning in utero. I suspect that a trial of 50 pairs of identical twin rhesus monkeys would generalize better than a trial of 100 identical rhesus

I tried it and generally liked it. It learned to mostly send me articles about food and new restaurants, which made me happy. Unfortunately, I forgot about it and stopped checking it months ago, so I suppose that I was part of the problem.

It does seem like it would be possible to lay a cable to transmit the power from the Big Island to Oahu. My reference for that is the plan to lay a cable to transmit power from Australia to Singapore.

I want to note that this is also true for “managed” languages like Java and Python. However, because these languages have a far heavier runtime than the “systems” languages, it is usually possible to trace them at the runtime level rather t
