Eh, they definitely aren't fit for major cultivation anymore, but you can still find them. I picked up a basket (with a bunch of other varieties) from miamifruit.org a while back. They can't ship a lot of things to California, but

Note that each grid square is 1 mile by 1 mile. Long history of that, it is an interesting historical rabbit hole. An interesting historical note is that across much of the west, each of those mile square sections was divided up into 16 pie

Kinda-sorta related, you can pipe to a multivariable loop: paste <(printf "a\nb\nc\n") <(printf "1\n2\n3\n") | while read x y; do echo "$y -- $x"; done Kinda silly for this example, but very us

I've always had trouble getting `for` loops to work predictably, so my common loop pattern is this: grep -l -r pattern /path/to/files | while read x; do echo $x; done or the like. This uses bash read to split th

Glass is still around and under active development, it just isn't a consumer product. It is in use by several enterprises, mostly factories and warehouses. My read on it is that it was never intended to be a consumer project as soon as

If you have access to a laser cutter you can make a pretty decent solder stencil by folding some clear package tape (so all adhesive is on the inside) and having it cut out the hole pattern. Lay it down on the PCB, squeegee some solder past

> Interestingly, there doesn't appear to be evidence that the CPU includes an integrated graphics processor - something that's listed in detail on the product page of the Coffee Lake-based Core i3-8109U. This could simply be do

Interesting question here: did Uber have authorization to operate automated in AZ? If not, and they had a human operator behind the wheel as a backup, is that human liable for manslaughter charges for not being in control of the vehicle?

And yet another: Dimethyl Sulfoxide can be used to (cheaply) treat a ton of different things, but has been blocked by the FDA for use in all but a very small number of cases (bladder pain syndrome). Amongst other things, is extremely good

"No child left behind" and similar initiatives that lead to perverted incentives that the teachers bear the brunt of. Also low pay and no respect.

If you use a standard sip port without filtering you will get a load of autocalls from people just portscanning and calling open IP addresses, probably looking to gain access to unsecured pbx boxes. I just have a single sip phone, no pbx, s

So many edge cases. I prefer to just use perl if I am doing anything more complicated than making a wrapper for some other executable. Harder to screw up, easier to test, same expressiveness, better portability (works with all shells and wi

You can build it, but it is limited to the smallest device in the vdev, so the array will appear to only have three devices of 64m available. Though you can replace all smaller disks and grow it.

ZFS does support different sized drives, and you can add disks to a pool easily. It does not support different sized drives in a raidz (equivalent to an mdadm array), as far as I know, but you can mix raidz and singular drives in a pool, th

I have the feeling that someone trying this in Atlanta would just get themselves shot. Hopefully nobody around here is inspired by this.

If I were using a 'real' shell, I'd probably be using Fish. However, since I pretty much live in emacs, I spent the time to configure eshell to do what I need and it works well enough, and gives me the ability to manipulate t

I don't think they intended to release explorer edition for consumer use at all; however, when the news hit and everyone was trying to get their hands on one they ended up trying to pivot a beta development platform into a consumer pro

There is no technological equivalent for a dog's nose in reliability, form factor, and cost. That, and a Boston Dynamics type robot probably costs several orders of magnitude more than training a dog/trainer pair, and is much less

Atlanta's situation is actually pretty interesting. Most of the water loss is caused by bad infrastructure (leaky pipes and sewers), and they have massively pissed off pretty much everyone in three states. The city was/is using up

Having not read the source material referenced by OP, the biggest concerns I have (that are not commonly addressed) are as follows: 1: increased ocean acidity due to CO2 dissolving into water. A lot of the smaller lifeforms (coral, others)

Ok, so it is a combination of L2ARC and ZIL (zfs intent log), then? L2ARC improves read operations, ZIL improves writes.

Unless he is talking about scrubbing and self-healing? In which case, the same thing still applies -- all releases do this as far as I know. See: https://pthree.org/2012/12/11/zfs-administration-part-vi-scr...
