Quite aware of that, but I was referring to something different: I hope the same information is available to the people seeing (that is: experiencing live) the art installation (or past tense because it already happened?!). I don't kno

One more thought: I seriously hope the artist clarifies the shortcomings of his approach when presenting it! It wouldn't be right to suggest to people that the locations are highly accurate. I can imagine a non-technical relative/

Sites like that (without flashy Street View pictures bound to be wrong anyways) have been around for a very long time, many are provided by VPN providers to let their customers check how good they are hidden. It simply showed Amsterdam for

I have a Thinkpad T520 and can bend the display back all the way (~180 degrees), so that takes care of this problem. Also maybe consider a pair of running shoes for inside only? They help maintaining a good posture and standing might be mor

On a side note: A very cheap solution to mimic a standing desk: Use your ironing board, mine does the job. It goes barely high enough, I put an additional book under the Notebook and now it's the right hight, enough room for Notebook,

Major non-profit community events, yes, major for-profit billion-dollar events where tickets and a commercial slot cost I don't know how much, no! I have nothing against a city financially supporting some sort of community event, but t

Well, I understand why the reviewer did not feel the need to make a scientific rebuttal out of a book review. It was not the reviewer who convinced me by the way, I had a look at this book myself. And the claims made compared to the studies

We know far less about nutrition than we think we do. So if you know about risks and are careful about it, as far as I am concerned, there is nothing wrong with trying out various things. Regarding meat though, a lot of it is panic. The pro

2 weeks in ketosis, all I can say by now (and this only applies to me of course): 1) It was far easier than I thought it would be (some fatigue 5-6 days in, but that was quickly gone) 2) I have less meals (usually 2 meals, I am totally fine

I too think measurements like that are "fair", it is one of THE events in the US, so it makes sense to take special precautions. That being said, the NFL should pay for this 100%. They should also pay for their stadiums (not threa

You might not want to skim through the forums (though I find the discussion interesting). In the end, this actually happened and you can see a video of it here https://youtu.be/jJT_CACIZqs?t=6m18s EDIT: and rdancer also lin

A lot of userland-stuff is GNU, Linux is the kernel. Kernel + Userland is OS! So saying "GNU ... is the operating system for just about every single server running Linux" does not make sense.

by myztic 11y ago
I don't know where to begin. 0) Linux is just a kernel, so if taken literally, it never will be an OS. But I will roll with your terminology for now. 1) Linux was a Unix-like OS for tinkerers, programmers and soon for servers. A "

Without bad intentions: Could you point me to some of the cases you are talking about? I am honestly interested, can't promise I will read everything the next hours, but I will definitely read up on it.

Linux would have never been as successful if someone like rms would have called the shots. People still tinker with the GNU Hurd microkernel and it's less usable than Minix. Linus is also no god for me, but he is delightfully pragmatic

I am sorry that I have to say this, but large parts of the GNU/Linux community are just irrational idealists hard to work with. Read the GPLv3, it's a great political document, and somewhere in there there also is a software licen

I think that the article over-estimates strongly the influence of entertainment to a certain degree when it comes to our intellectual development. And I am someone who consumes a lot of media. While it's true some will profit from the

I understand where he is coming from, but I think that there always is a healthy balance. Either you use something or you completely avoid it, that's not a reasonable choice. For me that actually is a symptom of having some sort of pro

Saw, clicked, read, ordered. Why did I never think of this before, it's so obvious, but I never considered this to be an option, and yet I actually have to deal with street noise I find distracting. Thank you ;)

Better late than never: it's hard to get reliable data on such things, CO2 estimates are probably at least somewhat correct. The larger point being that you have to take into account how many people live in a country, you can't ju
