I guess this is popular because of the 'oh-so-stupid-government' vibes. Yet (almost) everybody buys the cheap meat (which the non-alfalfa farmer is also selling in reality) subsidi…

The easy one first: The Matt Levine piece quotes the story linked here, so he's definitely not the original source... And then, yes: If you can make more money by not using your bi…

You softened your statement with 'not always' to which I would add, that different people might be looking for different levels of 'understanding' ;)

Jake VanderPlas also has an article on Understanding the Lomb-Scargle Periodogram [1] which I can recommend if you want to get into the details (it also includes a treatment of fou…

It appears that the ruling regarding the rapes was not so straight forward [1], certainly not something that you can use as a one-line argument. There are also other articles descr…

I‘m acting a bit naïve of course ;) The comments are simply dominated by the root comment, which does not even try to put it into context of the linked post. On top, it‘s a comment…

Looking into the situation in the UK specifically, I found a description of the potentially underlying issues [1] and those are indeed worrisome. I still fail to see why one would …

Maybe [the UK is not on the list] because this article focuses on technical aspects of overcoming blocking of the global internet in those countries that benefit from improvements …

I use the mobile page on desktop. Less clutter is always welcome.

Now I’m thinking that I have missed the point of the article. I didn’t read it as an introduction to vector spaces, but rather that the introduction served as to give an intuition …

Do these donations also support the operation of nodes? If not, how to support the network (other than running a node myself)?

I switched from MacOS (from a 12 year old first generation retina MBP) to Arch and started out with hyprland. It was really nice initially while I mostly used terminals, a browser …

Douglas Rushkoff would certainly approve. Go Team Human!

Then we might have reached the point to discuss whether it’s enough to lift the worst-off to some minimum where they can survive or whether we’re in a position now to also enable p…

I don‘t get which implications you derive from the changing needs over one’s life. In all of those phases, safety and health of yourself and beloved ones are likely at the top of y…

I’m in the process of ditching vscode and for now settled on nvim as the replacement. Currently, I still use Dendron for taking notes. There are some suggestions for companion plug…

If you‘re using causal diagrams professionally or privately: What are your use cases?

I can‘t help to observe that the shapes in the article can be sorted by color and shape, with each resulting stack being numbered from 1 to 4. Problem solved ;)

Could you elaborate a little on the traceability part, please? If the different steps of a processing chain are distributed via queues, you rather have an overhead in collecting th…

Statisticians beware: It‘s about the Portable Document Format.

You might be surprised (as I was), when you consult Wikipedia on this topic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_tape

I‘d also rather say that it was about hosting the code for free in the first place and then the pull requests, including the possibility to comment on code in PRs. I use the git cl…

I haven’t been there, yet. A friend recommended it, though. Besides a look at the machine, there seem to be a bunch of stories about things they had to solve along the way to build…
