I read that close to 50,000 Americans die EACH year due to opioid overdose. I'm pretty sure this is more than the death total of the Vietnam, Korean, and Iraqi wars combined.

I can remember being a kid in the 70's and how the start of the news each night was about which local kids died in the Vietnam war during the past week.

Perhaps it's time to declare this a war to save the (potential) addicts and act accordingly.
I can understand why some people might think this kind of setup is crazy but I actually do this with my Android tablet. With the Termux I can have Rust, Python, Neovim etc installed locally.

I realized my friends didn’t use Facebook. I didn’t use Facebook much. It was just ads and pages posting crap that played with my emotions. I kept Facebook so I could message a friend if I was in their city and we could meet. I held my account for years in that hope. I then realized I haven’t messaged anyone for a year. I mostly use other channels. I deleted Facebook and been happy ever since. My entire circle of friends is mostly Facebook zombies.

My prediction is it will be a generational thing. Kinda like how young people really don’t buy that much jewelry compared to their parents
Gotcha, makes a lot more sense now.

At the very least, I'd track at least 3-4 factors beyond simple CO2, so it makes sense to integrate that all at once at HVAC level rather than carry around 5 sensors.

Watch out for the Withings watches, I bought the generation before the HR one and it was rather thick, much thicker than I was expecting, I ended up returning it.
I love the style of the Withings watches, but way too thick for me compared to the traditional watches. I'm waiting for the smartwatches to get down in thickness before trying another one.

« There's nothing fundamentally wrong with the 737MAX »

This would be like Harley Davidson putting a much more powerful engine in an old bike frame, perhaps because they feel threatened by new technology. However the new engine is so powerful it creates wheelies, and potentially fatal accidents as customers were not made aware they'd need to change their bike driving habits.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the 737MAX and how they installed the engines. I'm not an aeronoticaul engineer so I don't know the best solution to minimize the instability. But they certainly should have tried out more configurations, different wing shapes, done more tests etc. Somehow they skipped all that to get more $$
I've seen different reports about what's in the training. I think the challenge here is to detect that the system is running haywire and then disabling it. It's not a common situation, never trained, and possibly only something the pilot might have read on the way to the airport. Not ideal for a high-stress situation.

Oh interesting. We've lost several pyrex dishes. The first was nine or ten years ago. My wife was baking a raspberry crisp thing (or some red fruit), and the dish cracked into hundreds of little bits before we took it out of the oven. Each bit had sides maybe half a centimeter long. It certainly wasn't caused by a drastic temperature change, unless you count opening the oven. It is very unnerving for your dessert to turn into shards of broken glass. I hope this article gets a wide audience, and business goes to a more deserving company.
I don't understand why Microsoft would acquire Canonical. Microsoft already has an operating systems business in Windows. I don't see any obvious synergies with other lines of business except Azure.

Azure officially supports a number of distributions. The risk of alienating the existing partners who package these distributions for Azure likely outweighs the small benefit Microsoft would get from acquiring Canonical. A deep partnership already exists (e.g. Ubuntu Advantage integration throughout Azure). They don't need to own Canonical for that.

Can confirm you were, I could not remember your username until I just now saw it.

Your prior commentary that I referenced struck a chord with me because I’m facing facing down the path of a life that in some ways, might look something like yours, actually with fewer pressures, but still enough to seem daunting to me right now. I’ve gotten better about my own time management than where I was a few years ago and still have a long way to go. If you, if anyone, can do all of that and still be there as a parent, then I ought to be able to hold myself to a standard that is at least almost as high.

I’m not sure what I’m saying here, except, thank you for your commentary, your thoughts. In a way that is difficult for me to properly explain here, it helped me to read your point of view before and now. Good luck, for whatever that is worth to you, and I hope the best for you and your kid.

David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH of Ruby on Rails fame) gave a great talk recently on air quality: https://youtu.be/MRqh8oLY7Ik

Apparently his wife was showing signs of Formaldehyde poisoning after they moved into a newly constructed home. This motivated him to investigate the air quality in their house and he bought industrial-level air testing equipment to figure out what was going on (since many of the consumer-grade devices were wildly inaccurate). He also did a deep dive into the research on how air quality impacts cognitive and creative performance. Fascinating talk, worth watching.
Clipper [1] alone has over a million installations. Others as you say have 500k, it all amounts to millions of users of clipboard managers specifically labelled as such.

They work on the core container engine stuff. Aleksa Sarai (who posts in here every once in a while as "cyphar") is the maintainer of runC, which is core to most popular container runtimes (containerd/docker, podman, cri-o/kubernetes, etc.).

They also work on building a platform for trivially deploying and scaling Kubernetes within openSUSE as Kubic[1]. SUSE has a variant of this as the SUSE CaaS platform[2] ("container as a service" platform) product. Kubic is analogous to Fedora CoreOS[3], while CaaSP is similar to RHEL CoreOS that's part of OpenShift[4].

Right 'Bove Touch mouse design saves lives
ANTIMICROBIAL may not be too strange a terminology for you if you work in the health industry. But, it may not be so clear to the the rest of us who work in everyday small businesses, public services, corporations, schools, and governments.

While toilet seat covers clearly have set our hygiene standards above rest of the world, hand sanitizers, hand washing, and flu shots are still just pre-cautions we have for ourselves, kids, and fellow co-workers, precautions, that's all.

You don't spread your keel, and I won't share mine; don't touch my drink/food or mouse/keyboard without a rubber because who knows where those hands had been!

We do a lot with our fingertips, I know, I know, yes this is going to be another conversation on fingertips, but stay with me for a minute and you'll see the why's.

Without going into details on why we enjoy snacks at our fingertips so much, or why scratching your face might turn a pimple into Cystic Acne...

Or how we emphasize on washing hands but ignore the frequency of how often we touch our PC peripherals... that is, often being touched by another at work too... I mean... Do you know who touched that mouse while you were away?

Fingertip health hazard is real.

"advantages of powertrain solutions with electric motors are faster response time (order of milliseconds) and possibility of dual direct control either by speed or torque, increasing the flexibility of the control of pitch-plane vehicle dynamics [5]."

What they miss in this article is the signal that graduates of elite colleges send to others. For rich people, it's no longer a matter of money, it's a matter of social standing. Rich people don't want to introduce their kids as the graduates of their local public university. They rather just say that their kids never went to college.

If all rich parents need to do is to spend a few bucks, relative speaking, to get their kids into elite schools then they will do it.

People are surprised by the amount of money rich parents are willing to spend. But in a society where merit is valued over money, it's no surprise that people are willing to buy some merit.

Social standing is priceless to many people.

Reality is also that the rest of the world tested and bought the planes. In the hundreds. There is too much media BS about this stuff. If Boeing says its going to take 10 years to fix, what is anyone capable of doing about it?

I can say for example, that tomorrow Airbus is going to get broken up and turned into a mess because of Brexit, and everyone from the President of France to the Airbus leadership can be blamed for it.

Reality is anyone can blame whatever they feel like these days. Anything surrounding blame can be safely ignored. Look for the people talking about the solutions.

It happens to a lot of brands. Private equity investors sniff out a name brand that has a lot of customer trust, but management that's probably weak after years of profit and not paying attention. They buy out the company and strip out all the costly materials, fire staff, sell off inventory.

The brand changes, but customers don't know it until your Breyer's ice cream has a label that says it's "frozen dairy dessert product", or your Twinkies are 10% smaller, or your Pyrex glass pans start shattering. Then you wonder what happened to your beloved childhood / family brand you trusted.

Capitalism is what happened. But things come and go, and hopefully newer, better things will take their place.

(By the way, the story of what happened to Twinkies is more interesting, and not just the negative story of a company cheapening out its product for profit's sake. There was a lot of dysfunction/waste in that product line.)

I posted this elsewhere in the thread, but JPEG seems to be significantly easier to decompress than PNG. Probably mostly due to hardware being optimized for it, but it might also have to do with the way the encoding works. Decompressing JPEGs mostly relies on doing some relatively fixed operations on localized 8x8 tiles, while PNG uses DEFLATE with a window size of up to 32KB.
IBM stopped development of 4690 OS in 2005, porting all their software to Suse. Toshiba bought the point of sale business from IBM in 2012, but any 4690 based installs are a legacy from the early 2000s, as SuperPOS ACE is what IBM (now Toshiba) has been pushing for the past decade.
