I honestly don't know how vim deals with unsaved changes upon shutdown and don't use it enough to look that up, so that's why I'll first exit. As to why shutdown: cultural thing in the end. I was raised with the idea tha

No, you would miss out on the feel of soft grass under your bare feet Should have made this more clear perhaps, but I only put in that farmer's concrete quote (which I don't agree with for the reasons you mention) for the biodiv

Do you use 100% of that lawn? You could mow only part of it. E.g. simple things like instead of using square corners, leave the coreners as-is with a radius of a couple of meter and only mow those twice a year or so. Makes it also interesti

Keeping grass is simpler than that. Just mowing less isn't perhaps simpler by the definition of it but is way better for biodiversity. You could try it in just a small piece of your current lawn and see what happens. Mow once near th

Trends like this are essentially like fashion, but applied to gardens (well, the area around your house, I guess at one point it stops being qualified as 'garden'). I.e. pushed by industry/magazines/..., copied by people

This. In what lawn-owners treat as mowing season, more than half of the year here, they spend several hours a month with motorized devices keeping the grass trimmed. Meaning they also pay for the device and the energy to keep it running. An

the benefits are considerable Exactly. Admittedly with enough modern C++ experience and having used pattern matching I find the syntax pretty readable and clear. But even if it weren't I'd probably still be +1 pattern matching.

As far as I'm aware Disk Cleanup gets rid of those backups. But this is a long term install and was properly planned to be one, so I started with plenty of disk space.

Not so much as fooling yourself, but I agree with the OP your method isnt really 'original' in the sense that it's indeed exactly the same as the 'standard' one, just a tad different in how you explain the math. E

This is fairly spot on though a bit overly generalizing perhaps (e.g. might be me, but 8 years of Win7 on work machine and it's still running completely ok and depending on what exactly you use Linux for there's only moderate amou

TcpView and built-in Resource Monitor come pretty close actually. Not the exact same feature set perhaps, but if the question is 'what is taking up bandwidth and to which address' then they do the job.

Your points are valid, and I've used it as well many times, but ther's always the risk you find yourself in a situation where there's just a growing number of TODO items. Which isn't (always) a problem per se, but severe

How do I know Fair question. But it makes me wonder: what would be the accepted way to provide schematics/PCBs and prove the provided ones are also what gets used to create the actually sold hardware? Same question for the source c

Instead our brains pocket the technological advance and start to move on to higher order stuff. I'm not so sure they really do. But I'm also not sure what you mean with 'higher order stuff'. Anyway I see just so many e

I'm aware, my point is rather that it does something which other apps also do already and did so for much longer, making me wonder if it's going to see any traction. E.g. iNaturalist shows me like 10 observations in the past month

If you've never tried Python including a REPL for whatever project you'd use Arduino for it's definitely worth giving a shot. Different kind of game than C.

Many countries already have applications like this with databases ranging back into the eighties or even earlier, and are used both by professionals and others. And a lot of them. So unfortunately I don't see those people leaving their

Apart from the indirect effect (killing flowering plants means less food for insects) there seem to be direct effects as well e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25063858/

Fair point actually. There's also lot of yelling going on going as far that some think it's actually a proven fact that it causes cancer just because some judge somewhere made Monsanto pay. But there's another aspect as well:

Erm yes I meant the biodiversity aspect, next to the original invasice species one. But then went on with some details :P

While I'm all for the principle and applaud people wanting to take actions like that, and don't doubt their intentions are good I came here to say the same, and one other thing. Things like these are quite popular and people are f

They’re obviously failing to realise they will be victims too Will they? Many of them won't live to see the worst effects. And I can't help but think one driving force for them is simply selfishness: if the problem doesn't

This used to exist, and was even fairly common, in many countries. Moreover it was brought to your door by the milkman. And that milkman sometimes also had eggs and even vegetables from local farmers. This disappeared, driven by economics&#

I do follow your reasoning, bad comments are worse then no comments, but in this particular case it really feels to me like the meat of the commit body should also be a comment. Just so that when someone looks at the code and wonders, hmm,

Maybe it's language-dependent? Dutch isn't spoken by as many people as English for instance, could be the algorithms just don't work well enough yet.

Yeah on second thought, I think I might be looking at this too much from my own perspective. I almost solely use the keyboard to command applications so whatever solution I come up with for others who click icons might not be ideal. Still,

Reading the title I interpreted this as "utility which figures out which icons you hardly use and puts them away". That's not what this does, but it is an interesting idea nonetheless. I wonder if this has been implemented so
