There are a bunch of jirafs type things on GitHub, fwiw. Eg. https://github.com/coddingtonbear/jirafs

Good? Giving the tiniest little shit about nature and not wiping out the entire biosphere to build super low density housing over everything is the least we can do.

> In 2010, renewables generated just 7% of the UK’s power. By the first half of 2024, this had grown to more than 50%

Burying plastics results in leaching phthalates, estrogen mimics and assorted other crap into the ground, and groundwater, in the near term, not the far future.

Another vote for self-hosted [miniflux](https://miniflux.app/) - and I use [focusreader](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=allen.town.foc...) on my phone to read from it.

Total Compensation

If only...

Every time I have to do any major work with CSVs, I re-lament this exact thing.

I think the only way this could ever become more widespread is to fix all the open source tooling so that it's eventually just supported everywhere - then keep evangelizing for... ~30 yrs.

Probably you should also register a new mime type and extension and make it a new thing - don't overload .CSV any further - but make the same tooling support it.

GitLabs pricing is hilariously, insanely, astronomically high. I'd love to move our org off BitBucket the GitLab, but it's just absolutely not possible, given their pricing.

FrameWork looks like they only go up to 64GB: https://frame.work/gb/en/products/laptop16-diy-amd-7040?tab=...

This also works on Windows, fwiw.

Yes, obviously, but timing is everything.

This is an open source verfsion of MS Live Share for VS Code, by the look of it.

Fischer made the space pen as a commercial product, all R+D entirely at their own expense. NASA just bought some of the pens from them.

Even if I can't spell important!

If you don't, it leads to the general population completely infantilized and beholden to the few large capitalist corporations that run the "AI" that actually do everything.

Being able to read, write, do math and think and do things for myself is very improtant to me - it's even more imprtant to me that I live in a vibrant society full of people who can do likewise. I don't want to live on the Axiom in Wall-e.

Yep! Suuper nice though!

You can do this with a Rasberry Pi 400, no problem. I have one running https://retropie.org.uk/ and it works great.

People have tried to get Micro-transactions off the ground many times - and failed every time (so far) - because Visa/MasterCard aren't interested - and getting people to change payment provider to use your thing is an impossible barrier to entry.

So, no micro payments per page/episode/content chunk - that just leaves subscriptions. You pay a weekly/monthly/whatever fee for access to the thing. Getting people to subscribe to things is _also_ a huge barrier to entry. Getting people to subscribe to _lots_ of individual things is impossible (there's only so many subscriptions people are willing to have), so you get bundling & centralization - i.e. cable/netflix/patreon.

Or you run ads.

Yes, but... storing stuff costs money, keeping a mine open and unflooded, etc... costs money, even if you're not doing any mining, etc... Also markets will adjust prices if they know about your stockpile, too.

a) Please don't post clickbait titles b) Most of the use cases I can see for this are crimes

England's government already passed essentially the same thing.

Just move it further out, as the Sun expands. Just.

This is _so much more_ than the title suggests - this is not about making notes in text files.

Isn't that just a perfect way to train spammers, though? Keep sending to the server, get instant feedback, iterate until the spam gets delivered?

Can confirm, this works nicely as a notepad replacement/upgrade on Windows. I don't use it for actual development work, but for little incidental edits to random files, it's very handy and starts quickly.

Creating artificial seeds, from scratch, based on a stored DNA sequence? Pretty far - that's still SciFi at this point.

They say "could" a lot, and then say that there's no research/evidence to support it - but that's probably just because no one has done and yet. If there was any evidence against it, presumably they'd cite it?

Not a refutation, but then the article doesn't really offer any evidence to be refuted.

Afaik, "mouth taping" is just putting a little strip of fairly low tack surgical tape across your mouth, vertically, to encourage your body to keep it closed and breathe through your nose while you sleep. I've tried this just to see and it seems to work - but if you open your mouth or move your jaw even a little, it just peels off.

As long as you're sensible, it doesn't seem like it's going to do any harm?

How long does that CI job take to run, roughly?

Apple Pie Vodka is the best... so many hangovers!
