Ooooooh I wanna add mine! 1. [WILL BET $100 with one person] Energy management (e.g. battery research, energy infrastructure development) becomes a far bigger concern. The forcing functions of high population, increased well-being, and a wo

Well now I am. I got a 3 year subscription through them until 2021, I’ll probably get PIA afterwards. I’m guessing this is a NordVPN specific thing?

I get the same issue using NordVPN; not sure why.

I was able to upgrade from Lubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 for my 32bit IBM Thinkpad T42 using do_release_upgrade. It’s not downloadable on the website, but I think for 18.04 the build is still there.

$130M sounds like a tiny sum for content arbitration at Facebook’s scale and the number of jurisdictions it crosses. I mean, nobody’s done it before, so it will be interesting. But I don’t think this is or could be a serious attempt to sol

Glassdoor is good for negative signaling, not so much positive signaling. It probably makes sense that larger, older companies will inevitably get bumped down in Glassdoor’s eyes, since it’s much harder to climb back up than to drop down, a

@hintymad thanks for sharing! For me, monads seemed hugely difficult to learn, and so I never got started with them at all. Had I just known that they were not as hard as I thought they were (which I think is different from not hard) I migh

Does PyPI offer package notarization and make that observable in the lockfile or the installation logs? Or offer optimized SEO for notarized packages over those not notarized in package search? If that’s not there, and I don’t see it as par

I love Hugo. My personal blog and my tech blog are both built with Hugo, with an extremely simple AWS deployment pipeline. I’ve been looking for a great documentation theme , but I haven’t found one to my liking yet (closest is maybe hugo-t

I might agree with you. People who are successful are able and willing to push that EQ bound, because they recognize all implementation achievements (e.g. businesses) are multi-person efforts. People who are "geniuses" oftentimes

My take on genius is that it's akin to insanity, and for some of us, insanity doesn't seem to be so insane (which itself is an insane thing to say). Nikola Tesla ended his life alone, with a box of scrap parts as collateral for hi

I'm not saying there aren't things to like about air travel, especially if you have an axe to grind. Definitely faster, prices are competitive, and they probably innovate faster too given much higher sales volume. But I would say

Wow, this is amazing! I was learning more about ncurses and the various UI libraries built on top of them (e.g. Urwid). From going without Internet for a third of this year and using 1GB of mobile data per month, I've learned there are

Would Plan9 fit in with applications like robotics? I feel like such an operating system would do well with the need to interoperate between a bunch of different types of sensors and hardware, and the need for sensor fusion. I’m not sure if

There's open-source graphics drivers that use NVIDIA like 'nouveau', which in my experience are much better than the proprietary nvidia graphics drivers on linux. Otherwise, I believe CUDA exists and remains proprietary becau

IMHO type systems are pretty much impossible to change after the fact (see: Python's `str` type and the whole 2/3 migration fiasco), which is why I thought to bring it up since it's a major version change. I think a lack of s

God bless Yukio Shige. It's pretty impossible to describe what depression is like. You just have to experience it for yourself. One book I read by Gary Paulsen (I think maybe "The Raft"?) when I was younger described "tr
