I recently learned that open burning of plastic waste produces lots of soot that might have a non-negligible effect on capturing heat from sunlight. So there's some causality between plastic waste and global warming.
I'm running a bookmarking site with a specific set of features at kntm.org and am using it since 2014, please join!
I also use OneTab (or similar) to clear up open tabs. I use Pocket just for sending articles to my kobo reader and Instapaper for read-it-later. Also using Materialistic app to quickly save HN articles.
I think the basic functionality of bookmarking will never be obsolete.
What's even worse is that even today Belgium fails to realize what a great cultural heritage they have in Paul Otlet's work. The remainders of his collection are dumped in a museum in the city of Mons which completely misses the chance to explain the originality and reach of Otlet's work and ideas.
Yes, .attribute syntax is much nicer than brackets, especially on German keyboard layouts (needs "Alt Graph"). Why can't dicts just support both? Because of the Zen? Also this is an old issue, see Alex Martelli's bunch class recipe on ActiveState http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52308-the-simple-but-han...
The mutate-on-get makes it very similar to how Matlab does its "structs", I'm mostly undecided on that but at times it can be nice.
How does it compare to http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net/ ? Apart from the delta copying the feature list sounds similar. I find the FreeFileSync UI quite usable.
In my 146 updates the first third is younger than 1 month, and about 4 in the 146 I have already found by ususal ways of following the literature. But the list contains a higher 'concentration' of interesting sources, than any issue of my favorite journals. That's good support for any researcher.
Guess that's the perfect reason why it should exist: People who are already involved in existing projects could look out for low hanging fruits and that would be a win-win. The site could implement a project alert.
fantastic. any application that has a password should also provide a method to generate a few one-time log-in urls that one could use from untrusted computers/environments. These uris could be issued with different privileges: e.g. for email, providing just access to the data younger than maybe two weeks.
