At least for public universities, how about sidestepping the lenders entirely, and replacinh tuition with payment of a fixed percent (say 20%) of 10-year post-graduation income? Aside from the effects that wealth can have on early education

I also wrote my own static site generator using Python [0] that I use to generate my personal site [2], and that I introduced as a blog post here [1]. Posts are written in Markdown with simple formatting, templates are HTML/CSS with Ji

For a cheaper, less toxic development process (but only for B&W), run a quick Google search for Caffenol. Instant coffee, sodium carbonate (washing soda), and vitamin C is all you need.

Thanks for the note. Looks good! Blog post generation from Jupyter Notebooks is definitely something that I plan to add to mine. Hopefully `nbconvert` and my Jinja2 templates get me 90% of the way there; having yours as a reference will be

Great work! I like your site quite a bit - both in appearance and content. I'll have to take a closer look when I get the chance. It's pretty cool that, despite using different languages and implementations, we converged on fairly

Many thanks! I'll definitely keep working on it, albeit a bit more slowly now that the blog is up and running. Next, I'd like to make improvements to navigation and article discoverability on the site; I'm not yet sure what c

Thanks, glad to hear!

You aren't wrong — indeed, many static site generators are capable of doing exactly that — but I wouldn't go so far as to say that no other existing solutions were adequate. As for Hexo, it looks like a great option, but it's

The well goes deeper still. Another mode of epigenetic regulation involves histones, the proteins around which DNA is wrapped, and the many ways they can be modified (by methylation, acetylation, ubiquitiylation, sumoylation, etc.). Both DN

My bet: it's all about the lithium. The Gigafactory (located near a large domestic lithium cache) will soon consume a large fraction of the world's lithium output, and currently, Tesla is completely dependent on other companies to

Ad-Away (installable via F-Droid if you are rooted) allows you to block ads at the hosts-file level, which will work in Chrome and in other apps that display ads. Before anyone chews me out, as this effectively renders many free apps equiva

Cancer has no such intention. Like any other organism, it competes for resources with those around it, and survives if it is effective enough at that to do so. Given that it often best characterized by the genetic mutations it has developed

There is a net zero electric field inside, true, but isn't that because a charge accumulates on the inside surface of the cage that is equal and opposite to that induced on the outside surface? With regard to #1, I agree, but the degre

Wouldn't a large amount of targeted RF incident upon an ungrounded faraday cage induce a large enough charge accumulation to also pose a threat to the drone (and anything around it)?

Paper ( https://snwh.org/paper/theme ) is a particularly great theme for the Gnome desktop (it also works with Budgie, Pantheon, and Unity, but I haven't tried it on any of those). The author's icon set is also

Try throwing render() around heavy blocks of code. That should speed up successive renders quite a bit.

This, and if you need further justification, think of this like any other skill. By practicing the act of intense (and nonjudgmental) focus, over time, your ability to focus intently will improve. In choosing to focus on something internal,

I'd love to see this coupled with a cheap thermal-IR camera, or microphone array (to see the spatial localization of sound around you; e.g. where is that darn leak coming from?!), or really with any sensor that collects spatial informa

I believe so, yes, though the degree to which this is true depends on whether or not you were using the beta at the time. The latest KiCad stable is worth a look if you haven't tried it in a while

For the record, many of the microwaves I've used have required something more like "Time cook -> 2 -> 2 -> 2 -> 3 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> Start -> Facepalm" than the intended "Time cook -> 2 ->

This is exactly why I dismantle and inspect all 'unimaginably cheap' pieces of tech before using them for their intended purpose. That, and curiosity. There are many clever cost-cutting hacks to be learned that way.

It also depends on whether the machine in use (different airports use different machines) are millimeter wave or backscatter x-ray. Millimeter wave machines (the majority of installations), if I am not mistaken, do not emit ionizing radiati

Silver can be chlorided quite easily by immersing it in bleach for a short while (10 sec to a few min). The color should change, from the bright silver you know and love to a dull, darker gray. You can buy Ag wire for this purpose, or, I im
