it has become unfortunately common in marriott hotels in the (western) US, specifically the current generation of residence inn; and i think i've seen it in new towneplace suites as well. it's entirely a form over function decisi

if you're up for a road trip, then cedar city utah is an option from southern california. the mountains on the east side of town have plenty of fall colors (lots of hiking options, national forests/parks).

the article claims the playlist is "scientifically verified" ... but doesn't seem to cover the science behind the list construction or verification. is there a background article somewhere else?

FWIW the peakbagger app (android, ios) includes excellent fire and smoke layers. andrew has added these features over the past few years as fires have complicated the quest for peaks. caltopo.com is another great tool with fire layers, use

yeah i dunno how people live in the PNW, i was totally depressed the 8 months i spent in vancouver BC! it would be kind of cool to have calendar software which has a "bad weather" feature: correlate the 10-day forecasts of the re

i'm not sure i agree. $100 of gas gets you about 24 gallons at california average prices, even at 20mpg that's 2x what you need to get to reno (218mi), on the way to reno you travel through sacramento. there are alternately many

this pleases me in so many ways. as a former public radio listener, who grew increasingly tired of finding something else to listen to during the all-too-regular fund drives, i very much appreciate the ability to skip forward on podcasts. i

for a long time i used a variation of this as an interview question for performance analysis positions at google. instead of focusing on I/O costs i was focusing on cache miss costs, but it's pretty much the same observation at a

the news article left me wanting to know more about the hike, and i discovered this ropewiki article[0] which seems to be related, and link to a more detailed trip report[1]. i'm more of a peakbagger myself, but the photos of the cany

since C pretty much requires a stack, and a stack requires "RAM" of some form, it used to be necessary that the memory system be trained prior to executing any C code. however once the cache grew large enough, and appropriate &qu

the article seems to suggest that this is a port of the original (not web) google earth app to webassembly ... but what i'm seeing is another version of the web app. the desktop app has a zillion more features which are not available

is there technology around this? i mean i can imagine an API where the CC# itself is only necessary in the first transaction with a new vendor, during which the vendor makes a (signed) request for a vendor-specific token to use for future

is it possible that airlines have arrivals quotas or limits in certain airports, or pay per passenger which arrives at an airport? this could cause what looks like "batshit" pricing.
