I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted? I was in Tucson in the summer in a rammed earth house (about 2-3 feet thick as you mention) and it was comfortably cool inside. The whole house had very large eaves, as well [1] [1] I don

I use Simpletask too. I still wish for a bit more out of it, but I appreciate the tag/project list and the UX over the official todo.txt Android app

Hmm, I found the Android app lacking - can you link which one you use? I much prefer Simpletask (Dropbox version) which works with the todo.txt format but has neat filter features. I really need to see a list of all my tags of my projects g

Good to find better ways to deal with the plastic we have, but we should probably just stop making so much conventional plastic.

This is really nice! As a Hindu & vegan I wish I lived in your delivery zone :) (I live way out in the Pacific ocean, though) In any case, cool to see you're trying a more narrow approach, and the website explains things well and l

Isn't it ironic [1], don't you think, that the vegan option has less carbs than the 'keto friendly' option? Tofu has less carbs than milk. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironic_(song)

Unrelated, but lately I'm frustrated that so many household items I want to buy are mostly available only in some kind of bulk pack. No, I don't want 6 bottles of dish soap if I don't yet know I like it. And it seems sometime

Seems the opposite is more true, i.e. "how healthcare is changing big data". Also I don't see doctors becoming "just as good with data-crunching as they are with medicine" because doctors don't have time and pr

Literally pumping heat or cold around the earth, you're saying? That sounds like it could have a disastrous effect on the seasons at best...

At the startup (in the US) I work for I was lucky to have been able to take 12 weeks off at 100% PTO. I can't imagine working somewhere that didn't offer extended paid paternity leave.

People are already comfortable and used to other cultivars of other fruits. GMO isn't even necessary here, just other types of bananas.

I feel that way too regarding choosing Typescript. It's a real joy to use TS and I'd be depressed having to ship plain JS to production again.

I wonder if I'm getting downvoted because of my belief, or because somehow how I've expressed isn't favorable.

As a Hindu, yes, but I don't pay much attention on the fact. The awareness is confined in the body and freed at death to pursue another body, but sometimes gets distracted or stuck in this world.

I don't see how he can expect people to take him seriously, but if he's paid off by industry it doesn't matter. Defecation isn't a choice. Medically if you need to poop, holding it until tomorrow is not safe.

I had no idea that the interceptor missiles are so toxic. Can anyone explain further why that is, and why no safer alternatives are available?

Thanks for your post, I learned a lot and I feel excited when I come across an experience to use a regex again to put this into practice.

It's a great way to reinforce your own learning, share what you just learned, and get great feedback (many of the comments in this thread)

If the acronym is only about profit then it is both misused and excludes other obvious companies like Microsoft.

But that highlights the inconsistent usage of the term. Often it's used to just mean "a company with a lot of engineers with similar practices and culture"
