I question your information as that is so definitely not my life experience.

They don’t actually really like being called Native American though. That’s kind of a white thing. Well, that's a big lie. I grew up on a reservation, an Indian Service Area, and still work on a reservation. Native American, Indian

They do so little with the concept and tooling its easy to forget how Powershell works.

Are you intentionally ignoring the large Native American population in some of those states? [edit: at this point I just assume that folks on HN don't have any concept of the demographics of reservations and how many children are being

It does make one wonder what happens if everything is a type instead of a file. Do you get a command line that looks like Mathematica? I too think every program containing a parser is a waste.

We in ND just got our first winter storm and it was bad enough to cancel work. We are not exactly apt to cancel because of snow. I get the feeling this is not going to an easy year on the heating budget.

Last I checked, Nova doesn't do keyboard macros and I do a lot of text munging and need them because I refuse to type the same sequence multiple times.

Built in keyboard macros that don't suck. Speed too.

It was my understanding that every study has a control group getting the standard care. I didn't see a study without such a control group.

I don't feel guilt, I still feel rage. I didn't determine any of the parameters or rules of the trial so I have no guilt on me. I just observed that the control group is dead because of some belief that they provided value when

Everyone knew the results of "standard treatment", that's why they were researching the drug. There were years and years of statistics. We killed 70% of the control group. Doomed by a random number generator.

I worked on one in the 90's that was $50,000 a day for three years. The drug company, assuming the trial was successful, had about 4 years to make all its money back before the patent expired. Testing blood, urine, and stool for mult

Well, don't skip the DragonFly folks. I've had the four main one up and running at different times.

I think Bill seriously underestimates the value of defensive fire. Or, most people actually prepping will also think of defense.

by protomyth 4y ago
I think there are different varieties of preppers, and some have communities. Frankly, by some definitions, I'm a prepper which is rather surprising. I think if you live rural you tend to have a lot more supplies on hand. I used to k

The funny thing is I tried to setup and Arch Linux box. I can setup OpenBSD with thinking with all the partitions and such, but that Arch Linux install was just a bad time. I'll try Debian when I get back to work. We are replacing o

I'm much more familiar with OpenBSD and FreeBSD on the server-side, and I don't feel real comfortable with Linux. The two biggest vendors, Red Hat and Ubuntu, don't really give the warm fuzzies. Maybe something like System

I tell people that I haven't looked forward to new features in the 'California' era like I did in the 'Cat' era. Now, I worry about what Apple will break or take away. If Microsoft wasn't so intent on spying a

Our findings confirm that zebra stripes repel biting flies under naturalistic conditions and do so at close range Which has lead to suggestions to breed this into livestock. Which will certainly change the landscape in US. As I said befo

Cargill would have an amazingly high valuation just due to all the assets owned.

I really feel that Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith[0] is going to have a big effect on this type of thing. They are basically relying on their AI magic to make it transformative. I'm starting to think th

Yeah. I would be weirded out if my company gave me socks. Cups and coats are more the norm. Well, cash has been the go to recently. Cash doesn't offend anyone.

I also wouldn't expect them to give a gift that has derogatory meaning in the area.

In general, the van-based motor homes seem to get to six figures really quickly and are more expensive than their bigger cousins. Do it yourselfers can do it cheaper.

This must be regional/cultural because for my family and friends socks is the kiss-off gift of a person who doesn't give a damn about you but needs to buy you a gift.

MIT is a technical school. Legacy admissions are the domain of the Ivy League.

Ending legacy admissions is a very quick way to reduce alumni donations. I get the feeling that legacy admissions are actually a benefit for other students because it means that powerful families can become part of your social network. Tha
