Jekyll is easier to get started with.

If you know ruby, middleman can be very powerful if not it can be a pain.

It isn't silentbanned but slowbanned, hacker news gets very very slow and almost impossible to use unless you wait the very long times to post your dead comment.

Can you remove position:fixed from the header css, it makes more sense when that theme is used as a doc but for a blog it is unnecessary.

That isn't commonplace in the US which I assume that is where he is from considering the whois info.

In fact it would probably be much more expensive here.

The main choices probably are a family member picking up groceries for you, or a small market which still can deliver groceries, I know mine stopped offering delivery around 5 years ago because the community size grew so much.

Differential equations has its uses within specific fields.

If you want to do anything involving control systems or robotics it would be good to have a background that includes differential equations.

Anything related to kinematics usually involves differential equations as well.

As for compsci outside of controls and robotics you see diff eq a lot less.

To give an example of what the increased land area leads to: I get 1Mbit/s down and 0.5Mbit/s up for the same price that my uncle in the city gets 40Mbit/s down and 8Mbit/s up.

The reason is that I live in a rural area about 20-30 miles from major cities. If you go another 10 miles your only option is satellite or dial-up (if you have phone lines to your house).

Fremont is a terrible DC for linode and it sucks if you are not aware of that when you buy a vps from them but I use the Dallas DC and haven't had any major problems to speak of in quite a long time (at least 5 AWS outages or more).
