Are the fractions ongoing efforts or did you drop it? re-reads for me: Diamond Age (4) (I'm an educator), Cryptonomicon (2), Baroc cycle (2) However i plan to re-read Anathem in paralell with my second re-read of…
My context for "learning" Imperial is solely based on measurements of length. I've "learned" it b/c i listen to a lot of US-Centric carpentry podcasts. I've just memorized 1 inch ~ 2.54 cm ; 3/8 inch ~ 1 cm. Most other…
For educators i always suggest "The Diamond Age". In the last few years, AI has just catched up enough for non-tech people to take it serious. I really liked the first half of Fall; Or Dodge in Hell. But it has been the…

I'm not good at nautics, but in my understanding currents slowly stop and later turn around. Most tide charts are more or less a sine wave, with different highs and lows. So it's interesting how this 100kw was produced.…

Sadly the machines from the repairable / upgradable era are getting to the end of their lifespan; at least with normal MacOS and standart software. I'm writingh this on a 2010 mbp on it's third battery, second ram…
the switch from ppc to intel definetly contributed to the fact that my powerbook only held up ~8 years
ACK. I switched from google reader to feedly to newsboat. One cloud service less. While i like the idea to be able to read my feeds from multiple computers, i don't actually need it. In fact, readig them on only one…
What did you get out of it? I read "His Master's Voice" as a teenager and was deeply touched by it. Every other Lem Book was downhill from then.

Palm really had the PIM suite down. A lot of other parts of WebOS were great, too. Too bad the hardware was so mediocre.
Living next to a low elevation resort this makes me quite sad. Climate Change will also impact other snow sports: The future of backcountry skiing (at least in the alps) will be to drive up a mountain pass, get on a…
Not really, because Glue is quite specific. And just because Glue X can be substituted with glue Y if you glue A and B together, doesn't mean Y is a good glue to bond A and C

I've been running a mailserver for ~15 Years. I found it to be very time consuming and complicated, mainly because of the trouble of outgoing mail.

that was one of my biggest problems ~8 years ago. keeping the macports and the debian versions in sync was too tiresom, someday i just switched to rsync which worked well enough for my usecase.

it's about half as expensive.
they are very not precise. Most give a 80% confidence interval of +- 8 Points (or 1/2 STD). Also the different tests measure slightly different types of intelligence/put emphasis on other things. There's only ~0.8…
