It's a good question. One thing I can think of is that drones can accurately use a pre-determined map of which areas need how much of an input, in a way that would be really difficult for a human on the ground to do.

Local, small-scale food production used to be the only way food was produced - people didn't eat better then, and there were many, many fewer people to feed. There's huge variability in what can be grown where, especially if you w

Agreed. You could make a very useful 404 page with the list of candidate URLs being used to do the redirect: It's exactly the thing you want to display in a "Did you mean x?" message on that page.

Part of the reason is that there are plenty of reused and refurbished shuttle parts included!

I had the same thought - an off the shelf double-paned window module would be great, otherwise a homebrewed version with two panes and a partial-vacuum pumped out between them.

Agree 100%. There's _so_ much additional information that human faces provide outside of the spoken language. It's often hard to interpret, especially over a video call, but turning that channel off completely is definitely a loss

Absolutely. This is the "ratchet effect" which is everywhere in software these days. The best you can do is defer clicking the ratchet forward for a while. You can't avoid it forever, and you can't ever turn it backwards

Presumably they pay rent in those malls, and the bigger the store, the more rent they pay. The problem with that arrangement is that you need to be at a certain minimum scale in order to afford rent at all - you can't just occupy a fre

Different domains, too: it comes up frequently in my - admittedly limited - experience with woodworking: _"Don't cut it 'til you need to cut it!"_. There are some one-way doors (cutting a long piece of timber), or doors

The key difference between tailwind and something like Pico is the semantics. Tailwind (AFAIK) totally divorces semantics and styles, so you as the dev have to apply everything. Pico aims to use as much of the HTML's semantics as possi

Bootstrap and Bulma are both based on SCSS still - it's as popular as it's ever been (though I still cling to my beloved classic SASS syntax, it's not very popular at all).

This proposal seems to make the assumption that senders need their incentives adjusted - you need to pay some amount to send someone a message. I can't see anything that stops a perverse incentive being created on the recipient's

Part of the problem is that so many of the 'actions' people take with email are invisible to the sender: If the recipient marks you as spam, filters you to junk, blocks you as a sender or their client/provider auto-files you

I think I’ve missed something here: how is Pocket user-hostile?

Paraphrasing here, but I very much read that as "Every human has the right to work in just and favourable conditions", not "Every corporation has a right to operate under equal economic treatment."

I know what you're saying, but we _also_ need to focus on this specific government, because they make the situation bad from the get-go, rather than just potentially bad.

So, in a truly classic bit of 1am CSS rendering weirdness, I discovered that you can't transform (rotate/skew) Emoji by 45 degrees in Chrome, Firefox or Safari in MacOS, or they'll disappear. You can transition _through_ 45°
