I couldn't find anything other than their first responders page but IMO any robo taxi operating in a metropolitan area should be publishing their disaster response & recovery plans publicly.

My friends and I had a Mad Scientists Club (inspired by the books) that we ran out of my basement and we cooked up many schemes there. Eventually we tried to get free gear from various electronics companies by writing to them as Moraine Sci

Hard to tell if this is auto generated but I'd guess so. There's a somewhat egregious error. In the Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect section the site states" "The illusion where increased saturation (or chroma) of a color is

This leak feels like a trial balloon (sanctioned or not). I suspect there is enough "hmm is this a good idea" and pushback within wotc that this is a way to gauge how terrible of an idea this really is (it is terrible and would bu

I didn't run Solarized through WCAG when designing it (I don't believe that was around when I was designing it, though I could be wrong) but I did design it to enable high contrast use (this is mentioned on the site but sometimes

Two things I want to add (better as a comment than edit): 1) I don't use Solarized everywhere religiously. I use it a LOT, no surprise. Still my preferred color scheme in most editing, terminal, code situations. But I am happy to use o

Developer of Solarized here. Glad that it continues to be a popular design. I've let the github languish and regret that. Luckily since it's just a color scheme the website and info on github has been enough for it to continue to

For those interested in further reading on this and many, many other nuclear weapon safety incidents, I recommend the excellent book "Command and Control" (also a documentary but the book is significantly more comprehensive). htt

I ran Linux on a P50 for years and that unit, which is sitting in front of me right now, is the reason that I won't buy another ThinkPad, ever. It was the biggest lemon I've ever owned. I've been through multiple mainboards

in so far as ssh is just one of dozens of commands that the girls learn on the command line, it's perhaps not. in so far as it makes them realize that computers are discrete entities that are networked and that this is what the interne

I should also mention that their "downtime" activity was CLI text adventures. I recommend using these to teach basic "verb object" CLI usage.

FWIW you can still work with Drive like this, though it's somewhat hidden functionality. "Shift+Z" after selecting an item will bring up the otherwise hidden "Add to" dialogue, allowing you to add an object to multi

Same. Linux on a P50 with 64GB ECC ram, Xeon. Battery life isn't hot, but I'll suffer this compromise for the power and flexibility it gives otherwise.

I'm running a coding class right now that is almost entirely run over ssh on chromebooks to a linux server. Works beautifully. No fancy IDE, but lots of actual learning to code.
