Yes, the cheese are arranged by properties rather than just looking like a periodic table.

by Affric 5mo ago
And it’s actually attempting a periodic table rather than just using the aesthetics as found in Mendeleev’s.

Here in Australia Apple Maps names everywhere by local council, which isn’t used at all, we use localities. I have reported this as a bug repeatedly but they just keep at it. It just means nothing here except who you pay to collect the bins

Google is not without its errors. I used to work to resolve addressing disputes and google just doesn't expose (maybe even store) the relevant information for a lot of parcels of land. It’s all available freely from the government in s

I mean the problem was the Google contract, yeah?

Same in Australia, after they were corporatised (turned into companies run for profit rather than run as a service by some level of government) it was recognised that as natural monopolies there would need to be some sort of regulation on h

I can’t imagine stopping every note. I think it is pretty good practice for me to never stop if one can avoid it. I used to stop all the time, when I made a mistake, between repetitions, when I finished the piece. I agree about ear to fretb

I was speaking to a Kuwaiti princeling a few years ago about solar and he just couldn’t get his head around zero marginal cost, the efficiency of assembly of the panels, and the economics that would drive the growth. We spoke for about half

Are there terminal emulators that operate on vertical text?
43.
by Affric 6mo ago
I am deeply ignorant on the matter. All the languages I am literate in use an alphabet and I have never encountered a script in anything other alphabetic scripts in the terminal, and never anything not in English for serious work. I would t

How often are complex scripts rendered in terminal? What is the cost to scripts that are currently rendered accurately by terminal? Are there any group of tools that operate in complex scripts? EDIT: Without saying that I think this is wort

Well said. I have used them all and UV is the only one that actually solves the problem. It’s insane that people would suggest that Python can go back.

Makes sense. Thank you.

I am interested in this claim. Do you have a link?

Grid prices are going to start coming down in some of the most expensive parts of Australia due to SAPS, home generation and storage, and microgrids. I wouldn’t rule out the grid just yet.

Working very well as we can see currently.

I always think that the goal of apps like these is build userbase and then get acquired, like darksky or waze: the big providers realise they have missed a trick and then it becomes the default.

I have lived at high latitudes and agree; funnily enough around that time of year fog and cloud cover often meant no sun even if you were out during the day, records of 62 days with no sight of the sun. Crushing stuff. But the situation you

Yeah, being awoken by an alarm in pure darkness is grim which, longitude 15 solar noon minutes west of where our timezone is set and at our latitude is very possible in winter. With pure standard time we would never have sunset before 5 pm

Yeah, it’s interesting how the desktop metaphor evolved over time but increasing display size and the ability to have multiple workspaces surely is a huge part of what makes tiling almost work. And tiling still largely doesn't work wit

100% with you. And every argument I hear from the pro DST group is really just an argument for ending adult work at 15.30 rather than 17.00 and maintaining a 9.00 start time. It blows my mind that we are all meant to wrap our lives around b

I am rocking a second hand phone that I got 5 years ago. It might last until 4G is turned off. I can’t really imagine needing greater bandwidth than I have now but I still use the phone like it’s 2010.

I remember going into my networking unit and absolutely destroying it through the use of the command line. Everyone else was clicking through the wireshark GUI and I just grepped every answer. Finished the hour long practical assessment in

My guess would be that there’s a greater absolute magnitude of the vectors to get to the same point in the knowledge model.

I have worked with chickens across industry (transport, breeders, layers, broilers, day-olds etc) and in homes as pets et cetera. I abhor cruelty towards them and it isn’t justified by any traits they have. The race to the bottom with Chick
