The President of the United States wields real power, full stop.

He is not an absolute monarch, and other powerful forces may have their own designs, but it's disingenuous to suggest the head of government in the world's largest economy and biggest military power is purely a sideshow to "real power" carrying on elsewhere.

> globalization would still be more efficient than producing the same goods in many different places.

Not necessarily true in all cases. Globalization is more efficient in transferring wealth, power, & information from small entities to large entities. As far as advocating for, providing value, & enriching local communities, naked Globalization has had a dismal record.

Re: the check against war, that is also something to be questioned. We have continuous "low intensity" warfare against populations around the world, where modern weapons are used against civilian populations. This includes biomedical technology in favor of traditional food & medicine.

Also consider that the conditions for the major world wars (& the cold war) were created by globalists who operate trans-nationally. Something to consider...

It is good to note that they passed over Ayn Rand. Many Americans are surprised when I tell them that so much of Ayn Rand's maxims are a direct copy and paste from different communist manifestos.

The fact of wielding real power means very little in the face of impersonal structures and systems beyond anyone's (and this includes the president's) control. These systems often appear natural and wield powerful ideologies. This was discussed since the early 50s and continued into the studies of Althusser, Marcuse, Debord (Society of the Spectacle) and the like. They allege no sinister concrete plot, only awareness of the very real motions of a system abstracted away from any individual or group, and that includes any and every politician, CEO, etc.

The scientific process requires experimental observation and is the gold-standard for determining truth. But the scientific process has limits and does not work on every problem. It is important to understand that not all research uses the scientific method--a lot of research does not. I think that's okay provided the authors do not try to dress up their research to make it seem like it is science when it is not.

I'm guessing here, but it could be possible that the actual heating of the filament is done entirely with the laser, and the job of the heated nozzle is simply to keep the filament at temperature all the way until it is extruded. It may have not been possible or feasible to combine the laser heater and nozzle, hence the need for both parts.

I bet it's much easier to kill yourself with the flammable, volatile, and toxic stuff that goes into the fuel tank. We just tend to normalize that because we've been using ICEs since we were kids and almost nobody is dumb enough to try to stick a lit match into the tank or take a fuel bath.

I can't agree enough about the Lang and Thompson suggestions. There are YouTube videos working through a lot of Lang's "Basic Mathematics" [1].
"Calculus Made Easy" is what got me through my first year of Calculus in 1981. I have read that modern Calculus textbooks are written for school board approval, or that of other Calculus teachers, whereas Thompson's book was written for the actual beginning student. Years later it rings true.

>Really you want a variety of plants pulling up nutrients out of the ground (because different varieties have different abilities to break down and convert the nutrients in the soil)

That doesn't appear to be needed. The plants don't have the ability at all, the microorganisms they attract and feed do it. You can build fertility while growing a single crop year after year, Fukuoka did rice and wheat every year for decades on the same land just fine. As long as you keep the microorganisms fed and don't insist on a program of routinely killing them, they'll break down the minerals that the plants need and make them available.

>Finally, you often want some of that happening in an anaerobic environment, so you don't bind oxygen to it.

No you don't. When it happens in an anaerobic environment you get end products that hinder plant growth instead of helping it. This is the main reason soil compaction is a problem, you get pooled water in the ground creating anaerobic conditions which kill off all the good bacteria and fungi.

The article compares Trump's approval ratings to G.H.W. Bush's and comes up with the conclusion that's he's doing terrible. Would have been good to see Trump compared to Obama, for the grain of salt.

"If you take climate change, which is a serious issue, it’s been co-opted by pessimistic baby-boomers and turned into a dark nightmarish scenario, rather than saying that we need to restructure power and resources in a way that could make the world a better place. That would have been a really good way to deal with climate change. Instead, it got possessed by a dystopia which I think reflects that generation’s fear of mortality because they can’t see anything going on beyond their own death."

Ultimately this is true, we preach dystopia because we cannot see beyond our lack of power (ability, influence), our fear of instability, fear of death.
We cannot even begin to imagine what such restructuring would look like.

All the while the dystopia is steadily becoming reality.

And that's the hard part, and imagination, especially political imagination, and very especially progressive political imagination should be the antidote. Less static, and less managerial. Let's feedback management.

I guess he is right that dystopianism and right-wing populism (racism and so on) are governed by (the same kind of) fear and anger.

This interview certainly gave me things to think about.

Watch the video I linked. It explains how weeds thrive under bacterially dominated soils, precisely what is created by tillage and spraying. When you have a balance of bacteria and fungi, crop species out compete weeds on their own, because the environment is suited to their needs.

How so? I actually prefer it over Slack. Namely for those apps in tabs thing, where you can have a wiki and files and all of those apps belong to a channel, email integration, skype, the list goes on and on. Visually, Slack IS cleaner though and has those reaction gifs.
There is no need for him to do any of that: the president of the United States is in the spotlight regardless.
It's a shame, because it means nothing important is actually being done, so nothing is getting better. Everyone is too busy either making outrageous statements, or reacting to them.

It's the same in Australia. There have been 7 leaders in 10 years[1], so for the last 10 years the only thing that has happened in Australia is a whole bunch of arguing about who is in charge, a bunch of very expensive elections, and a bunch of very expensive struggles to swap leadership, and very expensive by elections to replace the people who decide to leave after their own party votes them out.

Nothing is actually getting any better.

The temperature needs to be consistent first. There is a PID cycle the nozzle goes through to keep it consistent. If you look at the temperature on a graph during print, it's not a flat line but rather a sine wave as the PID cycles. My printer has an LED that flashes with the heating element, and you can see it work more during heavy extrusion to keep the temperature up. The frequency of the cycle is related to the mass of the nozzle/heater and speed of extrusion. I can only imagine at that speed they could not get a consistent PID loop with a traditional heater.
The constant railing against this vague concept of "the establishment" doesn't really help progress the discussion to limit the influence of the establishment either. It's essentially a strawman. I can't argue about the establishment because it means something different to everyone and varies depending on the circumstances.

I'd find it ridiculous to argue that Bernie's influence doesn't represent one part of the political establishment these days. Bernie has been a member of congress for how long now? He also ran a relatively successful campaign for the Democratic nomination and gained a lot more influence as a result.

> Firefox in Firefox OS was slow and it gave me a feeling that firefox was not for mobile (but I guess it's not true anymore)

I genuinely don't understand how Firefox on mobile is slow. I hear this complaint often (along with the complaint of Firefox on desktop not being able to run certain websites, which also never occurs to me), but for how much I try, I never managed to make Firefox on mobile (android) slow. There were a couple of days not long ago (we are talking weeks) were after an update the browser did get indeed a little slow, but it was still usable, and it got fixed very quickly.

I use the hell out of my Firefox, both on desktop and mobile. I abuse it in all sorts of ways, and I am extremely demanding of it, yet it never breaks a sweat. Right now I have more than 100 tabs open in my Firefox on android - can't tell the exact number because when the 100th tab is opened, the number just becomes an infinity symbol - which is nothing more than average for me, I can easily get to 350, and it still opens and loads up instantly (at the time of the performance problem mentioned above I had ~260 tabs open).

Am I just lucky? Do the performances/usability change so vastly from phone to phone and person to person?

The story is that Jobs was put off by Carmack's t-shirt (a smiley face with a bloody bullet hole in it). But they had a discussion, Carmack was critical of some of Apple's technical decisions, and Jobs listened and ultimately took Carmack's side. Jobs then yelled at one of his senior engineers.

I think I would get a Forth up and running ASAP, and write the assembler, if one still is needed, in that Forth.

looking at https://github.com/nornagon/jonesforth/blob/master/jonesfort... for a simple example, that needs assembler labels and macros, but I think a few batch files can give you rough approximations of those (example of rough approximation: assume every function is 64 bytes long, and every jump needs a 2-byte offset. That makes address calculations a bit easier. Wasteful, but that can be fixed later, once you have a better assembler written in your Forth.
Does Trump do anything that he doesn't tweet about? It seems like as soon as he does anything, he has to pat himself on the back by yelling about it on Twitter.

> I'd find it ridiculous to argue that Bernie's influence doesn't represent one part of the political establishment these days

Emphasis "one part", and definitely not the national part of the democratic party with the top-down power to force things through. You have to think about, for the lack of a better term, the meta-politics here. And the irony is that the rest of the Democrats themselves did not see how they only disenfranchised a large chunk of their own voter base by rejecting what he had to say.

Unix sockets and pipes are portable across all Unix(POSIX, because Linux is not Unix, but OS X is). Furthermore Unix sockets and pipes backwards compatible to 4.4BSD Unix or older OS.

Actually, this comparison is not correct. Windows and Unix have a different philosophy of kernel<->user level interaction. While Windows tries to add all functionality to the kernel, Unix does this on user level. Remember the KISS principle. So If you comfortable with Windows OS level API it's good for you, but for Unix world, it's not necessary to do something because we already have a different inter-process communication approach.

You're reading too much into what I said. I didn't mean to imply that global warming will end the world with certainty and definitely not that the planet will blow up. I simply meant that the probability of the world (in the sense of the human civilization in its current form; definitely not the planet itself) ending from global warming is greater than it ending from god-like AGI.

I don't consider this a controversial statement. From my own reading of the relevant studies, I think there is definitely a non-negligible probability that runaway effects may make Earth very harsh or even completely unsuitable for human life, eventually. Are you saying the current studies outrule this scenario entirely or with near certainty?
