Charlie Huenemann was one of my favorite professors in college. The Philosophy Department at USU was pretty small, just a 5 or 6 professors. Back in the early 90's we met in a converted barn. Professor Huenemann would lead small gr

I appreciate the work on this repo to date, and as many comments below point out, it is not yet true exhaustive. For those of us with additional data sources we can and should submit a pull request. Thanks for the effort, I intend to use

Thanks for sharing. I watched the MoMA original and thought that there is no way that system survived shortages of two world wars. And, what a testament to the turn of the century industrialization in Germany to be able to produce such a

Shotguns being the exception, the 870 and other models are popular and reliable shotguns that many of my gun-owning friends have in their collection, as do I (two of them). And, I agree with your comment on the ammo. Have gone through many

Same here. My REI Hobitat and Kingdom tents are 10 years into being the last tents I buy. High enough quality to break the 3-4 year replacement cycle of everything else I tried.

Some good examples of these on display in the fortress museums in Bikaner and Jaipur, both in India. I can't imagine them being all that accurate, but the range must have been better than smaller caliber alternatives, resulting in a

Correct, my company uses both Rackspace and AWS. We host legacy platforms with low rates of change on Rackspace and use AWS for new work that has high change rates and requires flexibility.

Nice work. I tested with user pg and noticed that the Y-axis on submissions starts at 31/12/1969 and the comments starts prior to 04/09/1982, compressing the actual data into the right of the graph. Second, the username

That was my most distinct memory as well, stopped by the cafe for lunch and the European woman in charge was constantly yelling at the Indian staff. Away from the residents, the place was very peaceful and serene. But, it felt like a few d

I miss Oliver Sacks. It is enjoyable to hear episodes of Radiolab and hear him describe his current passion, or read his candid descriptions of his illness. I have such respect for him because his unusualness was wrapped in a lack of pret

Twice this morning, in less than an hour I am hit with profound sadness when reminded of the injustice of Aaron’s treatment at the hands of a system we call “land of the free”. I started the morning curious about a Markdown syntax question

Leaving the substantive comments to the mathematicians, this was an enjoyable read that was easy to understand. Especially “Of course, it's definitely possible to overdo this -- then you get Perl.”

I loved this bio. In particular, it reinforced the value of blogs and websites that are independent of closed systems like Medium, Facebook, etc. This site exists as a passion and gift to the world. With the Internet Archive it is much

In my precinct (suburb west of Des Moines) there were observers from the Buttigieg, Yang, Sanders, and Warren campaign. After the first tally, the precinct captains for the campaigns (the people working the room for votes) would run to the

I don't have a ready source, but the press in the US would usually comply with a request to censor news that some in government worried would lead to panic, blame, or accountability. Continued well into the 60's and 70's, a

I had the same thought at the Fry's on Canoga in Woodland Hills, it felt like the only items left on the shelves were the things nobody would steal. Sad to see them slip away, one of the joys was wandering the aisles looking for things

Not satire. I have a copy on my desk at work and used it within the last month to explain truth tables (section 4.31) to a developer. Try looking at it again through the lens of designing a domain specific language. It forms a robust fram
