I had no idea panix was still around, wow. I had a shell account there in 94. Loved their service and PPP access! (edited: I fused my panix and my nynet past experiences. Deleted that part.)

Thanks for pointing this out! The attention to exploration is why I enjoy using Observable so I am glad that this will be paired with the framework features to get us Notebooks 2.0

I really like using Observable. Coming from years of d3 and not having a lot of R or Python to do, Observable feels great and things look beautiful. Lots of examples and it is great to see what others are making. Also love that I can use

I can see portions of a few walls that are out in spots that used to have a road over 100 years ago but now are reclaimed by the forest. Some of areas are densely overgrown now. Nice work.

I have come across the full dog poop bag phenomenon a lot lately on trails and sidewalks. A small group forms, as if there was a memo that someone else wants them or would be picking them up. It is baffling. I would guess that these are

I met Heifermann once during a project and I thought he was a grounded person. I remember one thing he did was paying not for ad slots, but to change your background to a dalmation spotted print for a promotion, with a link. This was long

observablehq.com has built in support for duckdb, and I have found it to be very easy to use. Getting windowing and cte and derived columns is great and being able to just refer to sql query cells as an array of rows makes things much easie

How are you relating this to the thread? Maybe you mean it takes time for capital to lower everyone’s income when market competition increases, the actual details of the excess humans matter less and less each year. Artificial protection a

I want to find the equivalent of HN for healthcare, where I think you’d find a ton of women MDs and highly specialized nurses who are women expressing frustration with their adjunct or artist men. This community is not the whole story.

Wow this tuned into a different narrative quickly. The above comment did not blame women for men’s plight but did not compare apples to apples. Gender pay gaps usually involve different wages for same work, not downgrades that all genders

I had a monthly or quarterly migraine for years before getting some wisdom teeth pulled. Now it is almost never.

I just want to comment that the image of the Santa Ana property looks a lot like the main character’s apt in the movie Momento, adding some umami to the whole vibe.

You might have hit on a big factor, dealerships don’t want something that doesn’t need oil changes and needs fewer brake pads.

Feels like Detroit was happy to sell a few EVs for carbon credits or to soak up the tax incentives and not a unit more. They are well positioned to shoot for the ‘second car’ market. They didn’t have to go big, or work on trucks that can’

Yes, so bad. Those buttons do a poor job of allowing action and showing state at the same time - they only use one property (icon no color or slash etc.) Also click-and-hold with or without haptics is not obvious. I was stabbing at the Te

Learning to put work away for easier re-engagement is the exact thing I am determined to improve this year.

I dont know how relevant this is from grid level, but the Hotel Marcel refurbed a building with DC power. People point out how they use PoE for room lighting, and there are more benefits. https://www.smartbuildingstech.com&#x2F

Each homeowner just needs to cut back a little and dedicate a percentage to native plants and wilder growth. What we need are the right insects in each region, then the birds will follow. A huge manicured lawn (pesticides make it worse bu

In the dry cleaning scenario, private equity gobbles those up to make a defacto large corp. Not exactly M&A but close?

I skimmed TFA and this is less about “environmentalist” boogeymen than it is about policy that leads to quick cash-in on incentives when better policy could make a more robust system that benefits more people. If we are going to have finan

Yes - and I would expand “censorship” to “control”. We have been shaped by whomever has built the algos for google, fb, twitter, etc and while that itself doesn’t make them evil they need to be evaluated somehow. I think the LLM fear come

I did not enjoy this - you need to get all the way to the end to see that he is ok with silos as long as his get to survive. The article is a bunch of breadcrumbs to get you to the point where he springs his models on the reader. Which is

I like when these things are celebrated with humor. Letterkenny/Shoresy can do good things with that sometimes.

I should RTFNews but I bet they didn’t test for class. And did they test vernacular vs accent? Many times in a work situation it is alternate grammar and vocabulary rather than accent that is taken to be unprofessional. Did they track the

I have one and it has been great. We had to buy the most expensive trim to get one - not sure that is true anymore. We mostly use the battery as we live in a small city. Most of our commute and errands are within range or it swaps to gas

I was going to make a similar comparison. There is a lot of dismissal in this discussion but there are people here like me who buy macbook pros that are solid/overbuilt, beautiful, just work without maintenance, and have very limited u
