0.3 mm/yr * 26 yr = 7.8 mm Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise per year is fairly small. The largest portion comes from loss of land-ice like mountain glaciers and snow pac…

Has tox matured into a usable system? I last tried it about two years ago and had too many problems with setting it up to suggest it to friends. Looking for a good non-centralized …

This article discusses the benefits of having a 'pure hobby' that you perform for personal enjoyment (not necessarily to turn a profit). Whether your chosen employment enables you …

The insecurity of many of the popular package managers (pypi, npm, crates) and the wholesale reliance of so many software systems on these managers seems like a massive security ri…

Had a similar thought, but around C++. auto types and lambda functions are the ones that come to my mind. I am sure there are more features making their way into modern C++ version…

The runaway effects are exactly the concern. Check out research on methane clathrates in the Mesozoic. Methane is 24x as potent a GHG than CO2. When you see the gas flares in hydro…

It looks like this isn't FOSS ($50 for a single website per year). The hosting structure is the same (self-hosted/you are on your own). Compared to Matomo this seems to work on SQL…

Legitimate, non-cynical, non-opportunistic question. Will this boost Twitter's monthly active users?

Reminds me (and I'm sure others had the thought) of the Awesome GitHub repo[0] which links to many of the other Awesome-* repos. [0] https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome

What does this mean for "opposites attract" and "my better half"? Many substantial, long-term, fulfilling relationships are mutual partnerships where each person grows and as a cou…

The problem is also around people artificially liking and commenting on your own posts (if they are public). I had encountered this last year when I was running a photography proje…

I agree with your point that there should be some baked in capability for a more comprehensive check on the HTTP response. There are probably some edge cases around this regarding …

I am confused about the test used here. The `requests` docs very plainly state that `Response.ok` only checks the status code. Looking into the codebase proves that as well. Is the…

I think you are missing out on all the discussion that is occurring... Particularly in the energy sector, which is experiencing a dramatic shift towards low carbon energy sources (…

I had tried to implement similar blocks through uBlock Origin and similar browser addons, but this seems to be the most robust method as I use multiple different browsers on my pri…

I understand that bootstrapping the database is probably the hardest part, but I haven't been so confident in MyFitnessPal's database anyways. It seems crowdsourced without much qu…

Does anyone have a good offline FOSS for macro-nutrient lookup and tracking? Been thinking about starting one for myself.

US lidar still remains fragmented across many different portals. USGS's 3DEEP data for the National Map covers lots of federal and private land. Open Topography holds lots of resea…

What software are you using? I have found PDAL[0] to be very simple to run with docker, though building from source is a bit consuming, especially as you reach out for more plugins…

I am trying to wrap my head around efficient aggregation of these "places" into a more meaningful shape such as a building footprint. This seems better for this use case than what3…

I am fascinated to learn that Equifax will be reaching out to these affected 2.4 million individuals to inform them their personal information has been compromised. Equifax did no …

Big numbers don't "guarantee life", rather they make it "very unlikely there isn't life". It is the same way that "an absence of evidence is not evidence of an absence". Secondly, …

Bill Ruddiman has been the most public face pushing for a ~7000 year Anthropocene. Sadly this paper[0] remains behind a paywall and I can't find my local version. It is really the …
