As the saying goes, there’s only two hard problems in IT:
Caching, naming things, and off by one errors.
Honestly, having a declarative package manager is pretty important.
Consider the following: We’ve had the transition from Sys V Init to Systemd recently. But what does it actually mean?
It means, that instead of running a command to start a service, you now flip a switch in a clear, standardized way. The advantage is that you can get a table-like overview over all the services that are currently running. You get an overview, in other words. That is worth a lot because it brings structure and clarity into your system.
Now, with package management it’s the same way. Instead of running a command to install a package, we should instead give a list of all the packages that we want to have installed, and the package manager should take care of making sure that they are installed. That would improve clarity, because you get a list of all the packages that are installed. It might also increase efficiency if you’re installing many packages, because large parts of the work can be done in parallel. And importantly, you get reproducibility. Imagine you just have a file where it names all the packages that should be installed. You can just take that list and copy it to another machine. Now you’ve cloned your package installations. I guess things like Docker, with their docker files, are kinda already going in that direction. But it would be nice to have support for it in the mainline operating systems.
1 acre ~ 4000 m²
You need approx. 1200 m² to feed a person, so 1 acre was approx. a small-sized family farm back in the day.
Maybe a tunnel could actually help with this?
AFAIK it not just speeds up plant growth, but also extends vegetation period. It means for example that you can plant/harvest from March-October, instead of May-August.
Thanks, I thought the same thing.
Especially the “getting some physical exercise, and reconnecting with the soil” seem interesting upsides to me. We would all need some more of that in today’s time it seems.
It appears big because it’s well used. Also, the house is small-sized. Might depend on your family circumstances.
Well yeah rice, xD
apart from that i’m not aware of anything.
Also beware, that grains need direct solar irradiation (they need to collect lots of energy, much more than vegetables), so stacking them on top of each other is not viable.
Growing enough grain to feed yourself takes 400 - 1000 m² depending on soil fertility.
So you can’t do that in your backyard. It’s also dramatically more efficient to harvest grains with big machinery, so it’s wise to put it together with your neighbours and form something like a cooperative.
thanks!
Nevermind i misunderstood.
Yes, that house seems to be 500 sq ft
It violates the principle of locality, and therefore the speed of light as the highest speed allowed in the universe.
Therefore, this truly does violate a law of nature, and is therefore illegal.
No, you cannot source all of your food that way. Only the vegetables. You still habe to get grains from a machinally-farmed farm. It says so in the description (4).
In exchange, the vegetables are really fresh.
Ja.
the army food was great
me too. I was with the military for 6 months (it’s obligatory in my country) and the food was delicious. Not just very nutritious and also healthy, but it really filled you, and made you feel good. Much better than what I got at home.
So wie die Ordnung stets ins Chaos geht,
wenn keine Kraft dagegen steht,
so herrscht das Chaos nie allein:
Es braucht die Ordnung, um zu sein.
you’re on a highway to hell.
Two plates of rice or noodles with vegetables and salmon. Delicious. Actually, highest ROI that you could possibly hope to achieve in the universe.
