From the practical consumer standpoint, it is essentially true. Getting an egg with salmonella in it is like winning the lottery. But good information either way since some people do get their eggs fr…

>I've heard the idea that it's temperature change which causes things to cross the barrier, and the fridge is the place in your kitchen with the most stable temperature. Correct, but it i…

They will last longer in the fridge, but there is little sense in leaving them unwashed if you are going to refrigerate them, you just increase the risk of salmonella getting into the eggs for the rea…

Freshly laid eggs have no salmonella in them. Despite what many think egg shells are permeable, stuff gets through them, and eggs when laid generally have a fair amount of blood and shit on them which…

Personally I don't think POD is good for the independent author, too much of it is authors publishing before they are ready and it buries the minority who are ready and just taking a different pa…

>Maybe some kind of search engine for forums https://boardreader.com Have not used it in years but it used to be good.

I am demoralized beyond words just thinking about doing Emacs key bindings on a touch screen keyboard.

I have absolutely no issues with sharing my failures. Only part of the project which would be iffy is the keyboard/trackpoint, kind of hoping I can just use the GPIO on what ever board I end up w…

I wanted a 701C so badly back in the day but they were out of reach of my 14 year old self. I have been debating what to do with my old T42 which I recently discovered has died, thinking I will remove…

Short version: author does not know what generative music is and assumed it was music made by AI to scam algorithms then wrote long rambly piece based off his ignorance.

He talks about the human element and it being something which AI lacks and I would say the human element is lacking in this piece. People write to express themselves, to share, and to create, the sens…

The majority of egg production goes to commercial production/food service/etc, the consumer gets what ever is left over so a small drop in production can be very noticeable at the grocery st…

Thanks for the heads up. The only current issue with ext4 that I found was https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/16392 which makes me a little nervous and I don't think I will be …

Will the effect of AI on the literary world end up just being that everyone will require submissions to be long hand and made by snail mail? More likely it will just increase the role of the middleman…

Spent some time digging through the website today figuring out where Haiku stands. Seems they still have not sorted out the issues with non-native file systems, it is getting better but still buggy an…

Been watching Haiku for around a decade now, install it every year or so to give it a go and it is getting very close to being my primary OS. Great project with a good community, devs are very helpful…

Just got myself an X13, love the screen ratio and the keyboard is almost as good as my old T42 which finally died. Not thrilled about everything being soldered on but every TP I have owned has outlive…

I read on article on this once (don't remember where) and it showed that the popups got very few clicks but they did increase traffic/brand awareness/etc by essentially subliminal means…

I have been starting to use Proton, no real complaints about it so far but have yet to leave gmail. Fairly sick of various aspects of gmail/google and am ready to move on.

If you were up for a job against someone with equal skills/experience and whose social media presence demonstrated communication skills and a knowledge of the field and yours was filled with post…

>Have someone show you how to compile using, say, gcc so that the compiler outputs the assembly files (.s) annotated with the C input: Never knew you could do this, not a single programming book th…

We seem to be getting into David Foster Wallace territory here. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bruesselbach/teleportra... I have no connection with this kick starter n…

>Essential means something you can’t live without. It also refers to what is fundamental or characteristic of something. Social media would be a fundamental element of daily life for a great number…

I guess what got me started was bash, the bash man page, and limited options. I had no internet, my wifi card died right after reinstalling the system (money was too tight at that time for a new card)…

For me the most productive method has been to have a project, pick a language, get a introductory book for that language and dig in. Start working through the book and doing the exercises and immediat…

It was a good day when OHM was released, probably still have my copy, I do still have the 128k mp3 rip of it I did 20 some years ago. Rainforest can be watched on the amazing ubuweb. Not much for danc…

Sucking solder without temperature control is no different than soldering without temperature control. If you are not good at spotting when the solder goes liquid or using a sort of solder which is di…

>Solder suckers are nice when they work, though! They are great things once you learn their quirks. Cut a notch in the nozzle that is slightly smaller than your iron's tip, a few uses will mol…

The rocket is how Pychon introduces theme, he starts out small with how the characters relate to the rocket, the main character's realation to/interest in the rocket is used to develop theme…

Surprising how long it has taken for someone to make this a product, the general idea goes back to at least the early 60s with LaMonte Young and realized in 69 with his Dream House[0] and became commo…
