Agricultural production areas and crops will probably have to shift to follow climate and rainfall. I don't want to go all doom and gloom but there is going to be a substantial economic (and perhaps human) cost for future generations.

Lots of people keep backyard chickens even in developed countries. Most of the local schools have chicken coops.

It would be amusing if a Liberian flagged space ship was the first to land people on Mars.

The first thing I did when I got my ASUS UX303UA was re-partition and install Arch Linux. Works flawlessly and I avoid issues with this sort of half baked bloatware. I haven't done any BIOS updates because ASUS doesn't publish det

That may not be true. UVA is not ionising and possibly increases risk of skin cancer. Non-ionizing radiation can cause chemical reactions (photochemical, heating, burns) that damage cells and might lead to increased cancer risk. I really d

I like systemd. It solves a lot of problems and does some cool things. But it always worries me when they go around breaking stuff. Too often the response is something like tmux has been doing it wrong - use the new systemd-tmux service ins

Not really. Ideally you go into these things with your eyes open. I can see our house going from five heavily used Apple devices to zero in the next couple of years. If the barriers were as bad as people pretend we could not do that. It pro

I bought a cheap Chromebook to play with and for a lightweight disposable travel machine but ended up using it for programming/web development for a time. A nice secure reliable browser environment plus secure shell in combination with

I don't know what is going on here but my bet is it has more to do with rich people doing tricky stuff with money than a vote of confidence in Yahoo, its products or potential to make money If I was saddled with a dinosaur like Yahoo I

Minivans are anti-teslas. They are tippy and have almost no crumple zone. In a front impact the engine block ends up where your legs were. If you have the money for a Tesla then you would be crazy not to put your kids in one. Ideally you wo

There was a lot of concern over patents and control but I think the decline of Mono had a lot more to do with Novell going bust and developers disappearing. Vala was an attempt to provide enough c# like features to provide an alternative an

Biggest military power in the world by a large margin. Runs global unmanned drone operations that can kill anyone anywhere by executive order. In a post 9-11 world I think the risks are minimal. I would be more concerned about an industrial

The /bin vs /usr/bin split makes perfect sense but I always thought /sbin was superflous to happy to see it being deprecated by many distros. I expect with the increasing moves towards app stores and sandboxing on all pl

Medicine and road transport are two areas where I hope AI can save us from ourselves because both produce a huge public benefit but they are both hopelessly prone to errors with deadly consequences.

Home users aren't the target audience which is some of the confusion. And probably not developers either even if the capabilities suit many web/linux types. There likely aren't enough to make serious money. People mainly see

It is practically necessary with mosh to run tmux/screen anyway because mosh removes scrollback. I find mosh adds little benefit for me most days and it makes a few things worse. mosh is a great idea and sometimes useful when you are c

I have mostly gone back to plain ssh. mosh was fantastic for keeping a connection running across network changes and when accessing a plain command line it does feel a bit snappier on slow connections. But screen or tmux give me persistence

There is nearly always a better solution to vim for any specific task but hardly ever for more general cases. I can remotely edit files with vim. I can edit them locally. I can edit my emails in vim. I can get completion, formatting, docume

Sincerity varies. There can be economic advantages in moving towards renewables if you do it right as you develop new companies and technologies. One thing is for sure though, every oligarchy puts their mates before others. http:/&#x2

On my Chromebook, a linux system, the root filesystem is mounted read only. To modify a file in /usr/bin I would need to activate developer mode then remount it rw. I expect this is probably something similar and done for similar

I am in the same situation though my actual speed is more like 0.7 to 0.8Mbps up. Uploading a 30MB Go binary would take nearly 6 minutes. I guess I should be thankful I mainly work with text and not images, video or large proprietary file f

30MB binaries can be a bit of a problem for some people. I started developing a system from home and when deploying to a VPS for testing and production. Transferring Go binaries was like waiting for a floppy disk to copy due to poor Interne

It really is about a lack of balance between our activity and our food intake and the types and quantity of food we consume. As a society we have become too good at making cheap, easy to consume food that supplies far more energy than most

The simplicity of the interface is what feels novel to me. It probably isn't an issue with a project like Chrome or Firefox to find someone able to understand all the intricacies of seccomp-bpf and implement it properly. And I am sure

This seems like such an elegant idea it is surprising that it hasn't been done before. I can imagine adding pledge calls to software I write myself. I can't say that for most other policy systems.

I am disappointed in the Android client so far. There are several very featureful alternatives such as Relay. I don't think it is a bad thing for Reddit to offer a free, bare minimum client. But after the Twitter experience I hope we d
