Have a look at David Kipping's video on Cool Worlds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCKrUZeiTJo . It goes into a bit of detail on compensating for systemic issues in JWST.

Simracing is the only reason my gaming rig runs windows. I never even thought my hardware would work on linux (especially my motion hardware). And stuff like crewchief and race telemetry. How do you deal with all that on linux?

I used to use terminator for a long time, but i've switched to tilix (https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/) with little pain.

Under $100: A carbon steel wok, along with a Youtube subscription to Chinese Cooking Demystified and to Souped-up Recipes. I always liked cooking, but this has increased my enjoyment 100x. My kids love stir fry, and they eat a lot more veggies this way.

Under $1000: A Kino hand grinder and a Cafelat Robot manual espresso maker. Bought this at the start of lockdowns as a gimmick, but I'm actually using this several times a day. Found an excellent roaster locally, but even store-bought beans taste pretty good this way.

Static web servers return 404 for resources that don't exist on the file system.

For example, https://news.ycombinator.com/s.gif -> 200

But https://news.ycombinator.com/t.gif -> 404

I don't see why /api/v1/employees/3.1415926 shouldn't return a 404 either.

Yesterday's "off-road" battle on Carwow featured a Jimny and a (petrol) Hummer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srb8LYt82z0 . Spoiler: the Jimny won.

Including the correct capitalization of nouns? Impressive!

I did a side-by-side test with a coworker, looking at the results in various European languages. We did get the same answers, and some languages did get the correct translation (Ukranian, Polish, Czech, but not Slovak), but that you get a different translation than I did is weird.

My litmus test for translation services is to see if the ambiguity between "turkey" (the bird) and "Turkey" (the country) manifests itself. Many European languages have two separate words for the two concepts that can't possibly be confused, so I think this is a good unit test.

My Dutch test sentence is: "de kalkoen bezoekt Turkije" (the bird visits the country). Most of them get it wrong for most European languages:

google -> german: "die türkei besucht die türkei"

bing -> swedish: "kalkonen besöker kalkon"

deepl -> hungarian: "a pulyka meglátogatja a pulykát"

translate.com -> french: "la dinde visite la dinde"

lingvanex.com -> spanish: "el pavo visita pavo"

Only one gets it right:

systran.net -> french: "La dinde visite la Turquie"

The three easiest ways:

1. provide ample habitat for predators of said insects 2. grow a surplus so there's enough for you and the bugs 3. use the partly-eaten produce in sauces, jams, stews and other meals where presentation doesn't matter

Here's how I solved this:

I keep a crate in the trunk of my car. After paying my groceries, I put them back in the shopping cart. I drive that to my car, put the groceries in the crate, and return the shopping cart.

No bags needed, and unloading at home is easier too.

I don't think current physics works below the Planck length. There aren't all that many infinities in physics in general, and where the do pop up, they're problematic.

Whereas in mathematics, infinities are a rich field of research, which goes way beyond anything that could ever be physical.

Besides, the tension doesn't exist, because whether or not spacetime is infinitely subdividable, going a certain distance takes a certain time, and going a fraction of a distance takes a fraction of time. The two series will converge in both the discrete and the continuous scenario.

Another excellent example is Mark Shepard on his New Forest Farm.

He successfully replicated the oak savannah that covered a lot of the US before the Europeans tore it up, but using species that are useful for humans.

Like you're saying, the animals are an integral part of that system: reducing pests, mowing and pruning, cleaning up waste etc.

The author made a video about it on the Cool Worlds youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA5YuwvJkpQ

Their comment didn't sound anti-science to me at all. They're critical of academia and how that functions. SMBC had a comic on this recently that illustrates the difference, the issues, and possible improvements: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/science-fictions

Unless you're in the tropics, where soil has a hard time hanging on to nutrients, you can probably skip the biochar step. Just bury the wood in hugelkultur.

beanstalkd hits the sweet spot for me.
