Interesting, the Devonian also appears to be the period at which fish started sporting limb like appendages and muscle structures, and other animals started to explore land. Perhaps unlimited body growth doesn't work well for animals

I believe they are implying that the US itself isn't in a healthy state. Economic disparity mostly, but also politically, socially, and likely physically. I think many would agree.

I can second this, Termux + Emacs turned my phone back into a personal computer. It is helpful to add extra keys to your touch keyboard, which you can do by editing your termux properties file (see https://wiki.termux.com/wi

Thanks for the clarification. I got what they were going for it just didn't hit right. I think supplements would have been a more effective word choice for the analogy for me, as vitamins reference something that is required for life.

This seems like a terrible analogy, as a vitamin is something you can't live without, while pain killers mask the problem. I'd think one would want to be a vitamin and not a pain killer, but the opposite suggestion is being made.

Correct, going from cold compressed liquid co2 though. For supercritical CO2 one would then heat up the gas and use it as a working fluid to turn the turbines further. If you could reuse the same turbine, one could store excess solar/

I'm curious if this method could be used along with super critical CO2 turbine generators. In other words after extracting the energy stored in compressed CO2, if you could then run it through a heat exchanger to bring it up to super

There are some contradictory claims here. Boilerplate comes when your language doesn't have affordances, you get around this with /abstraction/ which leads to DSLs (Domain Specific Languages). Matrix math is generally done on

I haven't tried them, but they only require a zipcode and use ZKP (zero knowledge proofs) for payment authentication.

I agree, but you can mitigate that to some extent by using a phone number that is not linked to your identity. Phreeli [ https://www.phreeli.com/ ] allows you to get a cell number with just a zip code. They use ZKP (Zero Kno

As much as I like e-ink, it has terrible refresh rates. I'd love a larger version of the Sharp Memory display technology that could support at least 80 characters wide, and perhaps 8 bit greyscale. The current ones support 60hz refre

Curious why you believe it was broken, and is now fixed. What new development are you referring to? I agree that Patchwork kinda took a dive, and functionality started to bitrot with each new maintainer...but it still replicates feeds.

This could be useful for dynamic clique routing used in mesh networking in large crowds. Although I would think one would need to do the peer discover prior to any Internet shutdown events. It gets around the problem of GPS spoofing, and p

What are the other digit/noun combinations you use? This seems better thought out than the wikipedia page you linked.

One can still use simpler contact information like a phone number, email or QR code to transfer a user id. While I love what Signal has done, the compromises are significant. I use Secure Scuttlebutt, Cabal, Spritely Goblins, Tor, email an

Good luck brute force guessing an Ed25519 keys (32 bytes). Honestly there are so many better options than phone numbers available. If you're already using QR-codes to transmit user ids, you might as well use something that is transfer

Shamir's Secret sharing allows one to store secret keys within m of n number of your peer group (where m is less than n), thus you can hand out an encrypted secret with 5 of your friends and reproduce the secret by getting 3 of them to
