I'm not nearly educated enough about this subject to try to summarise it, but the research being carried out by Michael Levin's group into how organisms control anatomy growth is c…

Excellent link, thanks! One of the linked papers[1] in that article is highly recommended. 1. https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/osdi14/osdi14...

Thanks for clarifying. I agree that reliably writing files is a sneakier problem than it first appears and that the likes of SQLite have already solved it. Despite that my preferen…

Is the swap technique you mention writing to a tempfile and then performing an (atomic) rename to overwrite the existing file? I understand how that could cause data loss if the pr…

> I have a deGoogled phone running Lineage, but even with that, no Google Play Services, and some custom settings (like changing the captive portal URLs), there's still network tra…

When nearing your final resting place and contemplating all the rich intricacies of your life, do you want to be one of those people who didn't learn to juggle? No. That would be s…

Thank you very much! I hadn't realised my email address isn't visible here. Maybe I need to move it into the "about" section. In case you aren't aware, your email address isn't vis…

I hear you! I'm in my late 30s and, although I don't have a family, I'm in a similar sounding situation myself. My first act sounds pretty similar to your own and, for one reason o…

That birthdays are stupid. I love celebrating life and try my best to do so in every moment, but this forced celebration is a total turn off.

Coffee Lab, perhaps? I thought it was a really cool coffee shop when I was there last year and, as you say, very much a hang out sort of place.

I'm a big fan of solving your own problems. Your problem seems to be coming up with problems to solve. Perhaps you could work on something that helps people to find problem to solv…

Yeah, I agree with that!

I really have difficultly seeing how this could be considered anything other than natural. We, our actions and our impacts on the rest of the environment are, after all, born of th…
