Probably it's new AI based layout engine.

It's more against the rain. Although some shade might be helpful too.

Are they covered? After two seasons of pure endrot I bought a shabby little "greenhouse" to grow my tomatoes in. Fingers crossed for this year.

Don't recommend using FTP. It's a shitty old protocol that needs to die. Just use nginx or apache with directory listing enabled.

Since I'm old and need to deal with administrating a bunch of machines for work, I settled on the most dull and unsurprising distros of all: debian. Sure, when I was younger and eager to learn and with much time on my hands, I used gentoo (basically what is now arch) and all the others too.

If you don't consent to being born into this world right now, would that not mean that you should just kill yourself? I off course don't mean to say that you should, but I'm curious why you have a drive to live, and thereby consuming precious resources that could benefit less defeatist people. Or would you have chosen differently if you had been asked when you were born.

I understand that we seem to be in a global situation where imminent doom is unavoidable but maybe you should ask older people or read up, because I think these things happen on a regular basis.

And no, I don't want to downplay the consequences of the multiple clusterfuck of global catastrophes we're heading into (since a long time). Maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist :).

I actually recently bought these yellow looking blue light filtering glasses and they help a lot against headlight glare. I can now drive at night again without being filled with rage. The downside is that everything is less visible. So it's not really a perfect solution.

It's all in this book: https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop/print/books/the-all-road-bike-revolution/

Go for something with wide tires so you're comfy on the dirt roads. Gravel bikes usually make you bend down pretty far, so they mostly make sense for bikers who put a lot of pressure on the pedals eg. go fast. They often don't come with lights, fenders, stand or rack to save weight. On the plus side, they have very comfortable handlebars (if you put enough pressure on your pedals to counteract your weight). In the end it all depends on your fitness and level of comfort you whish. I use a gravel with 47mm wide tires for a regular 20min commute. I go fast and put a rack on my bike so it's pretty much perfect for me. I can also do light mountainbiking or go on long rides with it. I like that I can use it for all kind of rides.

I agree on the saddle height. It's important to have it high enough so you can push efficiently.

About the tires, I don't agree 100%. Higher pressure might give you slightly better rolling resistance but will give you way more vibrations and shocks which makes you tired in the long run. I can poste a page of a book explaining this better if you like. In general it's important to have smooth tires (usually high thread cound and good quality rubber) for a low rolling resistance.

CLP/FD is definitely not bruteforce. It's Constraint Logic Programming of a finite domain (the variables have a finite amount of possible states). You write a very long text without even understanding a basic premise.

It's a bad idea to release insects from unknown origin even if it's a species that's native. They can have significant genetic differences to the local populations to cause all sorts of problems.

Try attracting them instead by having flower meadows, etc.

No.

Does fusion power eventually end up being radiated away as heat? Would gigantic power generation through fusion not eventually end up heating our planet?

Maybe try guix

Emacs will always be abe to do things you can't do with other editors. It's a text based interface toolkit that happens to also have a good text editor and IDE capability. Buuut, you need to spend a lot of time to set things up. I use it since probably more than 20 years and I still often need to look up and learn stuff. If you want a tool and not a workshop, get a simpler editor.

I guess there is quite some truth to your hypothesis. Organisations who want to switch probably need help in Identifying the less desirable service providers and then in understanding how to substitute or upgrade to equivalent or better services. Imagine proposing an alternative to MS Teams and showing off a combination of services that could achieve the same or better things than Teams. also: your logo looks promising but could be improved quite a lot with minor adjustments.

Just came here to say that the guy looks like a creep!

You could upload content to make it better !

No, I rarely read the code of software I use, especially crypto code since thant's not my thing. But good to know that you did. Thanks for your opinion.
