> I like it! I just wish it weren't fixed.

Now there's just a bar I'm ignoring that's obscuring part of the useful information.


The old UK sci-fi television series, Blakes 7, which aired in 1970's had this as one of their predicted technologies.

Entire portions of machinery would regenerate after being exploded in sabotage.

Grids of "radiation mine wire" would after being cut, would have the ends of the cable seek each other out and it would grow to join up again. The strategy to bypass this grid/minefield of interlaced wire, would be to fire the blaster across it clearing a path and then to run through it within 8 seconds before it regenerates.

While it was a bit fantastical for the time, I'm sure some hand-waving could justify nanotech as the way this TV tech might be realised.



This was covered.


Worse than that, I used to be very knowledgeable about a topic and having not played the game and not scored any points, it was too frustrating to answer questions there.

The unfortunate thing is that people often see it as the github of project support, and choose to go there to ask questions rather than a project's mailing list.


I have home edition, it is set to reboot in the middle of the night. The laptop goes to sleep or hibernates when I go to bed, one or the other, the update is still pending when I start the laptop in the morning. Updates can be put off indefinitely, if this is the normal pattern.


Have you tried to read a page on facebook without an account? It's intended to be an almost unusable experience.

On loading a page, I get a modal popup obscuring all content insisting I "register" or "login", with a "not now" option. Then when you click "not now", the bottom third of the screen is obscured by a fixed overlay.

It is loosely describable as readable, but in practice, it's a fight to read it. The element has randomly generated id, so can't easily be blocked with ublock or similar.


I agree Facebook is a bad place for placing public content. Note though that it's currently a lot more bearable if you disable JavaScript for Facebook. As someone who doesn't use Facebook at all it's easy for me to keep it disabled with NoScript. Then I just see content, no popups.


indeed: inspect element -> style='display: none' should not be mandatory to read a page. Grease monkey is an option, but still.


It's coded in react or whatever so it just gets recreated a second or so later.


Make that 7km, at 7km/hr, 3 times a week and I believe you hit the sweet spot of the Danish study that came out a couple of years ago.

If I recall correctly, it monitored ~20000 people over ~19 years, and provided bell curves of the best benefit.

I used to jog every day for an hour, and it was bliss. I miss it. Any day I don't get up and go for a run, I feel like I am worse off for it. But I'm trying to migrate to the above.


I used the arc archiver mentioned by others, back in the 90's if not earlier. I've probably still got archives on a disk somewhere.


The article was about some woman who was unhappy and quit her job, and had some resources to fall back on.

I am sure lots of points can be projected onto it, but the long and the short is she didn't do a very good job at saying anything very clearly.


Her clearest point to me was when she wrote:

"I don’t want anyone who works a 9-to-5 to feel like a fool for staying at a stable job, or feel wrong if they actually enjoy it."

The whole romanticized narrative of quitting your job to pursue your passion is certainly something I've encountered, and I appreciate her point of view on that narrative.
