At least for public universities, how about sidestepping the lenders entirely, and replacinh tuition with payment of a fixed percent (say 20%) of 10-year post-graduation income? As…

I also wrote my own static site generator using Python [0] that I use to generate my personal site [2], and that I introduced as a blog post here [1]. Posts are written in Markdown…

For a cheaper, less toxic development process (but only for B&W), run a quick Google search for Caffenol. Instant coffee, sodium carbonate (washing soda), and vitamin C is all you …

Thanks for the note. Looks good! Blog post generation from Jupyter Notebooks is definitely something that I plan to add to mine. Hopefully `nbconvert` and my Jinja2 templates get m…

Great work! I like your site quite a bit - both in appearance and content. I'll have to take a closer look when I get the chance. It's pretty cool that, despite using different lan…

Many thanks! I'll definitely keep working on it, albeit a bit more slowly now that the blog is up and running. Next, I'd like to make improvements to navigation and article discove…

Thanks, glad to hear!

You aren't wrong — indeed, many static site generators are capable of doing exactly that — but I wouldn't go so far as to say that no other existing solutions were adequate. As for…

Hi HN, This one's a twofer. First, I'm showing off my personal site and blog, garrettgoss.com [1]. I'm looking to make a career change — from biomedical engineering/biomedical rese…

The well goes deeper still. Another mode of epigenetic regulation involves histones, the proteins around which DNA is wrapped, and the many ways they can be modified (by methylatio…

Quick and simple setup, thanks! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/garrettgoss

My bet: it's all about the lithium. The Gigafactory (located near a large domestic lithium cache) will soon consume a large fraction of the world's lithium output, and currently, T…

Ad-Away (installable via F-Droid if you are rooted) allows you to block ads at the hosts-file level, which will work in Chrome and in other apps that display ads. Before anyone che…

Cancer has no such intention. Like any other organism, it competes for resources with those around it, and survives if it is effective enough at that to do so. Given that it often …

There is a net zero electric field inside, true, but isn't that because a charge accumulates on the inside surface of the cage that is equal and opposite to that induced on the out…

Wouldn't a large amount of targeted RF incident upon an ungrounded faraday cage induce a large enough charge accumulation to also pose a threat to the drone (and anything around it…

Paper ( https://snwh.org/paper/theme ) is a particularly great theme for the Gnome desktop (it also works with Budgie, Pantheon, and Unity, but I haven't tried it on any of those).…

Try throwing render() around heavy blocks of code. That should speed up successive renders quite a bit.

This, and if you need further justification, think of this like any other skill. By practicing the act of intense (and nonjudgmental) focus, over time, your ability to focus intent…

I'd love to see this coupled with a cheap thermal-IR camera, or microphone array (to see the spatial localization of sound around you; e.g. where is that darn leak coming from?!), …

I believe so, yes, though the degree to which this is true depends on whether or not you were using the beta at the time. The latest KiCad stable is worth a look if you haven't tri…

For the record, many of the microwaves I've used have required something more like "Time cook -> 2 -> 2 -> 2 -> 3 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> Start -> Facepalm" than the intended "Time cook …
