    There's a lack of nosological classification of meaningful sub-types of depression and their specific dysfunctions. It's currently scatter-gun, medieval treatments without botherin…

    From the comments as of writing, few read between the lines of this sloppy reporting: it's to standardize cloud-desktop apps for Amazon's internal use . Meta, for example, consolid…

    The city of Austin is floating legislation to allow up to 3 housing units per property including campers, RVs, and tiny homes.

    Find me one contemporary example (ANSI C) with a disassembled screenshot. This is writing sizeof(char) (== 1 almost everywhere) zero to address zero. It is not using a NULL macro o…

    This statement would be technically legal on its own in x86 real mode if the compiler didn't do null pointer checks. However it would set the divide-by-zero IRQ handler to itself 0…

    If you're not building a PaaS while running stuff, you should either rent or build a platform because having a reusable platform enables scalability and manageability. And if you h…

    The Target here in ATX next to downtown hired 2 ex-PMC's in full plate carriers. (APD's call backlog for nonviolent reports runs 36- to 48-hours, so it might as well be never. A pr…

    95% correct. "Planting a lot of trees" has been proven dead wrong because of simple math, plant matter decay, and increasing fucking forest fires. Instead, #teamtrees couldn't face…

    In this time period, there are many people who are eager to cause mass suffering, murder, sabotage, and dissolution of civilization. With advances in technological organization, th…

    The median population center of America is around Indiana, so the average delivery charge will be ~3k. The total delivered cost with tax will be about 30k. Also, there is a threat …

    My '85 VW Westfalia poptop camper is still cheaper than that by acquisition price. (Not so cheap after solar, remodeling, restoration, and engine swap.)

    That's immediately what I thought. Plus, there is no absolutely no way this will withstand a 70 mph windstorm while you can fold a travel trailer down in a reasonable amount of tim…

    These aren't ideal as they look fairly permanent. I don't see the labor or a time-lapse video of assembly or takedown.

    Risking sounding like Mr. Wonderful: I can't tell if it's aspirational, pre-product marketing or a parody. If it wasn't a joke, then they've just reinvented the travel trailer with…

    Although not homeless per se, I lived in a 80's VW Westfalia along the curbs of Silicon Valley for 9 years without A/C. It had a solar panel and I didn't have to buy anything excep…

    Getting to it and making a living between it and elsewhere is the problem. (Most American's aren't office workers.) Also, much of the land isn't exactly ideal due to hazards.[0] Fu…

    Ah, the days of cubicles. Trimble Nav in Sunnyvale had medium-height, solid fabric-backed 6x8' and 8x8' cubicles in 2000. And it was nice to be tucked in a quiet corner of the buil…
