I just bought a tiny farm, together with a friend. 1300m2 of dirt.

Right now we’re just brainstorming but I consider that “working on it.” Neither of us has time to become farmers, and I will only spend a couple months a year near the Minifarm, so our possibilities are slightly constrained. But this can be an advantage!

Our basic vision is a combination of low-effort agriculture, camping, and art, but we might also try to make wine. The plot is terraced in three roughly equal sections, each a longish rectangle. It’s regulated agricultural land, so no building, but we think we can drop a couple containers on it.

Suggestions welcome!
Haha, yeah. I met the pope. But I'm the worse speller.
Thanks, I'll definitely check it out if I visit Barbados one day.
"The Science of Our Favorite Pulse, the Humble Chickpea | What's Eating Dan?"[0] is a good introduction to everything you can do with the chickpea, including aquafaba. His other videos are great too, he frequently takes this approach of going deep on a particular ingredient.

So what's the stronger interpretation of what they are saying?

My reply is certainly bombastic, but I don't see much room for interpretation, they are saying we shouldn't bother much if something doesn't harm us personally.

Often even to those inside the us the zoning and housing get very SF/cali specific so I hear you
Most studio recordings are done iteratively, where you record a rough "scratch" track but then one by one, record over each part so that the final recording is the sum of everyone playing their best. This combines the feeling of playing with a group asynchronously with producing a high-quality recording. Would be cool to see tools to make this easier although the current gen of DAWs is pretty good.
Reality is complex.

The media describes reality as if it is simple (and so too, does the public). Their descriptions also regularly include speculation stated as fact, if not assertions that are objectively false.

"Most" people seem to not only be unconcerned by this, but will passionately defend it - including smart people.

Or, perhaps they don't notice any of it. But what should one think when it is pointed out to them, and they still seem unwilling to even consider the idea?

You and I surely have differences in our political beliefs, but I doubt we differ much on desired outcomes. And yet, society seems to be in a state where we have become pitted against each other in some way, rather than being allies in finding a way out of this mess. This phenomenon is what I find interesting, among many other things. I have no enemies (from my side of the equation), only people who are not yet friends.

Why is the world the way it is? Maybe it's just me, but do things not seem "a bit off" right now? And in your estimation, does our collective response seem anywhere near optimal?
this would help explain why all winner was on a roll making pretty great chips and has shipped absolutely worthless tripe for! he past 5 years. re-spins of rhe same shit they had been making. the chip making game feels so diseased.
I mean, every problem in my life can be fairly neatly explained my a lack of physical activity. Most AWESOME days I have can be neatly explained by higher than usual activity.

Our bodies need to move. Isn’t there strong evidence that we can’t even function properly without exercise? I mean, basic functions like regular waste disposal/cell regeneration. Circulation is insufficient without some added pressure and agitation. All kinds of stuff.

We are too fat and lazy, period.

It’s an “easy” fix, but it’s also really, really, really hard. Man. I used to run 50km per week, now I don’t even walk 5km. So much kid stuff, work stuff, house stuff.
ok thanks for your opinion.
Wow. So messages should be accessible if
- iCloud sync on the phone is enabled and Messages are backed up
- If phone is backed up to a computer (assuming access to computer is possible)
- If iMessage is used in that computer with same iCloud account (assuming access to computer is possible)
That's a great idea. One of these years we will open-source the up-to-date version of the HN codebase. I wonder how much of the diff would actually be useful to the general community.
I upvoted you only because you said, "Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't mean it isn't true."
I got 1.5 paragraphs into this article and ran into the term "helm chart", which I'd never heard before. I searched it and lo and behold, it (Helm) is a package management system for Kubernetes [1].

I'm sure this is quite basic entry-level stuff for the Kubernetes platform, but I haven't used it before. I find myself reading random articles on the topic so I can try to find an interesting use case for it but every time I seem to run into some new terminology like this and feel even more lost than I was before :)

I wonder who is actually hosting tor exit nodes. I doubt anyone is hosting them on their home network since that would be asking to be blocked from every website at the least.

I have considered running a relay node but I'm not even sure how safe that is.
Ubuntu at least does it in alphabetical order of the first letter of the codename. Eg, the release after Ubuntu 20.04 Focal was Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy. This means that hearing the Ubuntu codename "Bionic" provides some information: it was 4 releases before Focal.

But Debian codenames are arbitrarily based on characters from the movie Toy Story, so there's no relation to the Debian release.

To fix this, I propose for future releases the Debian codename naming scheme be replaced with numbers written out in words. Eg.

Debian 14 (fourteen)

Debian 13 (thirteen)

Debian 12 (twelve)

Debian 11 (bullseye)

Debian 10 (buster)

Debian 9 (stretch)

Debian 8 (jessie)

This retains the ability to easily search for eg, "Debian Thirteen", while making it much easier to remember earlier codenames as time goes on.

Also unlike Ubuntu's alphabetical naming scheme, the number approach doesn't have any overflow issues (which isn't as big of an issue anyway because Debian's provides new releases every 2 years instead of 6 monthly).
After moving to Japan and living here for a while, I realized when I visited my family back in the US how much of a punch in the face of sweetness/richness literally everything available in US restaurants is; it was honestly exhausting. Plus the fact that the portion sizes are double that of anything here, it's no surprise to me that Americans are obese and Japanese people by and large aren't.

For another anecdote, my wife's friend worked at Starbucks in Canada and in Japan. She said the Frappuccinos in Canada use around double the amount of syrup than those in Japan.
Hmmm this makes me think of powerlifters. Curating a 'power gut' is pretty normal for competing lifters (even hobbyists).

Intuition would make me wager testosterone levels of you average powerlifter would be in the higher ranges (necessary to build muscle), despite not generally being lean.
So, a few things. 4.2BSD was targeting VAX, which is most assuredly a 32 bit machine.

Further, the common denominator you're seeing goes back much, much further than BSD itself. Behold! "Version 1" of UNIX, written in just 14 files of PDP-11 assembly. And if you look at u1.s, you'll see the sysent routine which handles syscalls. The numbering should be familiar :-)

https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc...

If you go to 4.2BSD, you'll see many of these syscalls labeled as "old", e.g. "old pause", "old wait", "old break".

https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/BSD-4_2...

You can go a little further back to the original PDP7 assembly, but I don't believe the "kernel" actually ran on a separate "process" at all, and the userland simply linked into kernel symbols and called "read", "readdir" etc directly, hence why even later unix documentation tends to call these "routines" or "library calls".
You're now ignoring what I've presented and talking past me. The justice.gov link explicitly states:

"SULLIVAN is the leader of an organization called Insurgence USA through which he organizes protests"

He is not a Trump supporter. He's a professional rioter and instigator. This is filed Jan 13, well after your supposed "debunking" media spin from Jan 8. The affidavit filed indicates Sullivan was there to instigate and turn a peaceful protest into violence.

Nobody is stating there were zero Trump supporters present. To the contrary, there's ample video evidence that capitol police opened the gates, waved Trump supporters in, and held the doors for them as they entered the capitol. That's a strange thing for police to do during a "seditious coup."

As I remember, my FitBit HR holds less than 10 days' worth of heartbeat data, and can't be uploaded to the phone without the phone having connectivity to FitBit's servers. Also, extracting large amounts of data from the FitBit tends to time out and require a full retry. On more than one occasion, I was on vacation with my wife in a foreign country and only got a local SIM card for her. This resulted in me turning off automatic sync (to avoid battery drain from all the failed attempts). This resulted in me relying on manually sync'ing my FitBit data when I had WiFi, which resulted in my forgetting. This resulted in data loss.

Also, I seem to remember long syncs timing out so many times in a row that I just had to factor-reset my FitBit HR to clear its data buffer. This happened more than once. It really needs an incremental sync.

When I got my FitBit HR, my wife was interested in using my original FitBit. I proceeded to update its firmware right before I gave it to her, but the firmware update seems to have timed out and broken the FitBit. I recovered once with a factory reset, but a second firmware update attempt bricked it.

Honestly, IoT devices need minimal firmware in non-brickable ROM that checksum the firmware in flash before jumping to the firmware in flash. If the checksum fails, then make a light blink and go into a recovery mode that implements a minimal Bluetooth or HTTP firmware update, preferably incremental, requiring minimal state, and recoverable/restartable if that minimal state gets corrupted. Back in the day, I bricked a WRT54G router by using Firefox to upload the firmware instead of Safari or I.E. (It was a known non-deterministic issue, apparently. I'm guessing a corner-case in the router's handling of chunked HTTP encoding.) Not even the trick of shorting two adjacent pins using an x-acto knife could get the recovery TFTP server to come up.

Also, during the first year warranty period, my FitBit HR died twice, presumably due to being splashed so much with salt water during dragon boat race practice. I know it says not to go swimming with it, but you should really avoid excessively splashing it with seawater. When my FitBit HR died a third time shortly after the warranty period, I gave up on FitBit for a while.
There are levels of survival.

Yes, in a post-apocalyptic society you probably won't be able to get your medical gloves. But you will be better off that the middle ages, because you'll know about sterilizing your instruments and so on, you'll have medical textbooks and trained doctors who will know that leeches are not in fact useful for treating headaches, ear infections or hemorrhoids.

You won't be able to fab computer chips, but if you have a good stockpile of cheap arduino stuff you'll be able to make machines and automate aspects of your life.

You won't be able to create petrol to power your vehicle but you (or some handy McGyver type) probably can modify existing cars to run on firewood (like almost every motorised vehicle in continental Europe was during WWII).

Our existing knowledge alone would make the survivor's post-apocalyptic lives far, far better than the middle ages.
Neat! I think it'd be useful to have a little blurb under the name of the medal to describe what its for. Like:

For me all the old accents feels similar, so it reminds me of some Louis-de-Funès movies.

My grand-parents still today have a similar way of speaking as well. It is not only the accent, but also the pace and vocabulary.

Also, nowadays everybody is speaking casual French, but formal French was actually a thing in the past ;)

I'm a big Debian fan. Every time someone asks me for "computer" help with their windows machines, I tell them I can only solve their problem installing Debian (which is true, I haven't used Windows in a long time).

So far my mom and dad have been using Debian for the last 4 years and I had to assist them almost never (we live in 2 different continents). Both of them work with the computer, and my dad is that person that is not good with computers.

I've also installed Debian to at least 6 friends, who never had a complaint again.

I also thought a friend how to code, she got a job as a developer after 9 months, she picked up Debian/linux super fast.

I hope it keeps getting better and better and easier.
Thanks for all this great stuff. I use redux-toolkit already on a large application at a big sales automation company, and it works great, so looking forward to implementing some things with RTK.
You can though. Chrome dev tools can edit local files. It's basically an IDE. You can easily build a single page application. You can even do some server-like stuff purely in the browser now with service workers. There are also plenty of online IDEs available spanning the gamut from toys to serious work environments.
I wish them luck. I got a Versa 3 for Christmas because I hated charging my Apple Watch everyday. I tried it for the past 3 weeks and have finally gone back to my Apple Watch. The Versa 3 is fundamentally worse at everything...except battery life.
> there are plenty of humans on planet Earth who survive just fine without governments, public services and taxes.

I disagree. Let me look up a checklist of failed states.

Yemen. Libya. Somalia. Syria. DR Congo.

Hmmmm. Exactly the worst countries to live in.

Now let me look up checklists of countries with the highest levels of human development index, life expectancy at birth, and income per capita.

Norway. Sweden. Denmark. Canada. The United States. South Korea. Singapore.

All countries with well established governments and public services infrastructure, and a social safety net (this is somewhat less true for the US).

Most humans living in places without governments and well organized societies live either in the middle of literal warzones, desert wastelands, or are indigenous tribes living far from civilization.

Bunker survival can be nice and pretty for a few years at most, but the idea that modern technology has abolished man's dependence on his community is a fantasy.

I send a fair amount of unsolicited email and often get 75% response rate doing the thing I am asking of them.

I’m assuming that you have actually tried emailing people and found getting responses difficult.

If that is that case, a likely problem with your emails is that instead of solving their problem and saving them time immediately, you are asking them for at least 30 minutes to an hour of their time so you can maybe solve their problem and sell them something at some point in the future.

> I'm not saying it isn't true, just that it's not statistically supported by the evidence presented in the paper.

I hate to be that guy, but imo practical statistics are a joke. The samples are tainted and biased, and the results have nothing to do with the population at large.

I'm not sure how one would word this exactly, but there are many additional costs to each product that we buy.

Plant space, animal lives, tainted ecosystems, busted up terrain, displaced humans are all contained in most of the products we buy, and especially online.

It's one thing when it's a bare necessity, but I shudder when I think about how many animal lives were lost in order to produce just one faux-animal beanie baby with cute oversized eyeballs.
Haha a freudian slip indeed
That or maybe just a few colluding mining pools. The network is only 'secure' because mining cartels own most of the specialised hardware, increasing difficultly. ETH 2.0 starts to pool all that power back abit, by allowing others to compete for staking rewards.

Blog/vlog the activities you do on this plot of land. Perhaps you can try doing things/implementing projects that your followers suggest on an ongoing basis. I bet you'd get a Patreon following for a project like that.
If there was a physical device that could filter gas and non-gas liquids that could be installed in a car we would expect car manufacturers to do that.

There is one thing they could do to stop people putting the wrong liquid in their car. That is to key the nozzle to only fit cars which support their fuel, so petrol pumps nozzles only correctly fit petrol cars, diesel pumps only fit diesel cars.

Completely agree with you on you main point, software should be made correct and resilient (more than other things) because it can be made so.

Isn’t zoning and housing inherently specific to the location of the housing or whatever is being zoned? It seems natural to discuss it with that frame of reference implied.
Im working on a very similar idea.
I'm impressed that you found that, given that my memory of the quote is inaccurate. I prefer my memory (don't we all).
I agree with OP, not all languages are optimized for solving programming challenges (to be specific, recreational programming challenges) as they are optimized around different goals.

I tried solving AOC2020 as a means for learning golang. 6 challenges in, I gave up not because the challenges were hard but because it took longer to translate logic to code. It was no fun to write simple for loops, before getting into actual problem logic. Having to write a minInt function is like a distraction when you want to be focusing on the programming challenge. It is much simpler to use a programming language like Python that comes batteries included.

In this regard, I suppose functional programming can be quite expressive. If you can break the problem into functional units, it can be a pleasure to solve programming challenges using FP.
They're saying it's impossible to get worked up about every comparably bad thing that happens in the world. It's not a matter of compassion or even emotional bandwidth; there's simply not enough time in the day. So one way or another, you've gotta pick and choose which issues to focus on - and choosing based on which issues are splashing around political media seems both unhealthy and unproductive.
Agree! I tried to switch to Firefox many times. But the usability (for me) is nowhere near chrome/edge chromium.

You can do this on Firefox, by adding bookmarking google.com and adding 'g' as a keyword. But there's no way to manage your keywords/search engines, and even adding it is more involved than on chrome/edge

It definitely needs to happen. From my perspective the question is whether it needs to happen here on HN. The answer is yes and no, for the reasons I linked to above.

There's an interesting dynamic to this, btw. If HN manages to stay a degree or two more interesting than internet median [1], it attracts high quality users. That makes it a desirable audience. That makes a lot of people want to target this audience, so they blast it with rhetoric. Rhetoric isn't curious conversation and it thrives on repetition—so it makes HN worse.

In other words, to the degree that HN gets better, it gets worse. There's a cap on how good it can ever get [2].
