If it's around #15 or greater, but unlike the eclipse you won't be able to see anything interesting with just the welding mask. Mercury is too small. You need magnification, but if you use binoculars and you put the welding mask between the binocs and your eyes you will permanently damage your eyes and the binocs.

Make a pinhole in a playing card and put a large piece of white cardboard a meter behind it. This will work well. It will be dim so you might need to arrange a large sheet of poster board around the playing card for shade.
Good point. It is not technically an ‘assignment’ of the whole copyright, but it does involve the creator conferring contractual rights on YouTube which would otherwise belong exclusively to the creator.
The language is an interesting one. I just started writing a file to make French and English cognates more obvious by making a graph of words in the involved languages (Latin, Old French, French, Middle English and English). The end goal is to make the relationships between them a bit more explicit, for learners of French that already know English.
> Think of the situation that puts the commander and pilot in- they're the ones flying the shuttle; no one else can eject.

> If they eject, they are essentially abandoning the rest of the crew to die. It's the antithesis of the captain going down with his ship.

The Avro Vulcan bomber used by the RAF during the cold war had ejection seats for the pilot and co-pilot, and the 3 other crewmen had just parachutes. There were several accidents where the pilots managed to eject successfully but all the other crewmen were killed.
The 19th Century was a fascinating time. One of the most colorful characters from that era, who's little remembered now (though he still has some ardent fans), was Richard Francis Burton[1] -- adventurer, explorer, spy, translator, ethnologist, linguist who spoke 29 languages, geologist and botanist, sword master (an art he wrote a treatise on), sexologist, physician and poet.

He was the first European to see the holy cities of Mecca and Medina and live to tell the tale, something he accomplished by disguising himself as and adopting the language and customs of a wandering Dervish -- a daring feat which risked certain death if he was discovered. He managed to repeat the feat with various other forbidden cities around the world, though not without injury.

He produced, to my mind, by far the most entertaining (though apparently far from accurate) translation of the Thousand and One Nights, and the erotic classic, the Kama Sutra, along with various other works.

"Throughout his life, Burton continually sought passionately for "Gnosis," which he pursued around the world in myriad forms. He was a student of the Kaballah and of Hermeticism. He was an initiated Nagar Brahmin and Kadiri Dervish; he became a member of the Ismaili sect, which claimed decent from the Assassins; and he was at various times a formal convert to Hinduism, Tantrism, Roman Catholicism, Sikhism and Islam."[2]

He was a founder of The Cannibal Club[3], where men (of course they were all men) could openly discuss "subjects deemed deviant by society".

He was also a through and unapologetic racist and colonialist, almost to the point of caricature, which makes his works (which typically contain many personal notes and digressions) hard to swallow for most modern readers.

After his death, his wife burned much of his unpublished work and diaries (presumably because of their frank sexual content), so we may never see his most scandalous work.

>It would be much more fun doing it in Assembly language, without any use of any kind of library, expect for input and output. This way student would have learnt so much more, about how integer are manipulated into cpu (just bits in base 2) doing smart math conversion to represent it in base 10. And why not generalise the problem to also compute the size in base 8, or any base N.

One could say as well: this isn't programming, this is low level language tricks.

You don't need to know "how integers are manipulated into cpu" when learning to program, and at an introductory class like that described in the article you shouldn't either. There's a reason SICP at MIT was in Lisp and then Python.

I also very much doubt it would be "much more fun doing it in Assembly language".

The author went at length to explain how this is a useful exercize for programming, as it introduces edge cases, alternative implementations, testing, etc.
<Space-flown hiPSC-CMs [human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes] exhibited unchanged Ca2+ transient amplitude but showed a significant increase in transient decay tau (Figures 3E and S1) that is indicative of a decreased calcium recycling rate.

We also observed an increase in the standard deviation of beating intervals (Figure 3F) in space-flown hiPSC-CMs, indicating beating irregularity.

These results suggest that calcium-handling-related parameters remain altered for space-flown hiPSC-CMs following return to normal gravity.>
One of the things I do with my Black Magic Probe[1] is to connect it to a Raspberry Pi on my workbench and have the RasPi export it as a network port using nc(1). This means I don't have to run a USB cable from my desktop to my workbench to run the debugger, I can connected with the gdb target extended-remote debug:xxxx (where my RasPi's host name is 'debug'). This project cuts out the Pi and puts the debugger right on the network, even easier.

I don't have any financial interest in this project but I am interested in seeing it get into production if possible.

There is always context and interpretation and what you think that the Autor ist missing is actually you who missed it.
Modern hardware has lot to improve, memories and transmission lines have been the main bottlenecks for more than a decade now, bigger caches helped but are not enough.
Solutions are being developed, like on-circuit optical fiber transmission lines, but it takes time.
Vint Cerf: Al Gore and the Internet
YouTube wants to delete you if they deem you to not be “commercially viable”
If they're selling it to the US military they're making at least mid-five-figures in unit profit.
When I was a child, we didn’t have a phone for awhile. I don’t know why. People would ask for our number and their responses to finding out we didn’t have one ranged from blank confusion to assuming we were trying to scam them somehow. But once we got past that, we could still get what we needed because we were dealing with people (and frequently pen and paper).

(This was also back when, “Our system doesn’t let us do that” wasn’t an economically or socially acceptable response from someone representing a business or agency.)

Now we deal with machines for good and for bad.
Any amount of running linked to significantly lower risk of early death
In their proposed update to the terms, YouTube wants to be able to delete your channel, account, access should you/your content be deemed by YouTube to not be “commercially viable” enough.

I guess using an #adblocker could be sufficient? Or not enough views? Both?

“Terminations by YouTube for Service Changes

YouTube may terminate your access, or your Google account’s access to all or part of the Service if YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable.”
>It does when it arbitrarily reduces interoperability with current products. Even more so when it's done to "entice new product purchase".

Who promised "interoperability with current products" in new features?

>Beside that, using your definition of "products getting worse" would make the whole concept of planned obsolesce almost a minuscule sliver of any issue with any product.

Actually it's a huge domain just at that, and that was the original understading of the concept: "in industrial design and economics is a policy of planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life, so that it becomes obsolete (i.e., unfashionable, or no longer functional) after a certain period of time."

Notice "industrial design" -- which was what the term was coined for.

It wasn't about a Generation N device not getting Generation + 1 device features (which at the time, for mechanical devices, it couldn't).

It was things like promoting plastic throw-away razors (as opposed to multi-use ones), device parts that last N years where they could easily last xN, and so on...

If we're talking Apple, glueing things to the motherboard and not letting access to upgrade parts is the real planned obsolescence by the canonical understanding.

For low speed flows like in F1 the viscous effects are much larger and this can make flow prediction more difficult. It’s actually pretty easy to predict the shockwave pattern from 1D theory without the need for CFD [0]. The boundary layers are much thinner and you can assume inviscid flow at first. At hypersonic speeds the interactions get more complex however and you’re dealing with a lot more materials science challenges so CFD is important in predicting thermal loads and shock boundary layer interactions.

I agree broadly and admire in particular the author's application of Frederic Jameson, but feel I must speak in favour of the Facebook groups function, which, yes, even though it exists on Facebook, seems to have allowed all kinds of weird communities to spring up in a way they might not have otherwise. Like the group "famtastic lomgbois amd where to fimd them", which is dedicated to long things, and where 'n' is considered a banned glyph because it is short, and 'm' is long (or as the members would say, LOMG). [Edit: what I mean is that it's not all groups mocking boomers or digital nonnatives. The infamous NUMTOTS is another example of a vibrant fb-only community, and it has a whole series of spinoff groups for different subjects].

Regarding platforms in general, lately I have caught myself thinking of these platforms (FB and the gram in particular) as essentially shopping malls: fine if you follow the rules, maybe some pretty things to look at, but a bit boring. Everybody knows it's more fun to do stuff in the mall that you aren't really supposed to do, and those are usually the most interesting uses of these platforms from an analytical standpoint. Like the person who has obsessively collected all the leaked songs from a rapper's upcoming album, scraping them off YouTube, then circumvented copyright strikes by hosting them on Spotify as a "podcast", each 'episode' a song. Then no one who wants to hear those leaks has to dig around for MP3s or sift through youtube uploads that are often mislabelled as new releases so that the uploader can try to increase views. The "podcast" gets taken down every week or so, but always pops up again.

More "interesting" uses of these platforms: Groups dedicated to tracking the locations of police DUI checkpoints, people selling drugs through Snapchat, etc. Air traffic controller meme groups. People find previously unimagined uses for even the most boring and soulsucky platforms.

Pre-fab houses exist, even pretty affordable ones. But as long as land is worth as much as it is, it makes no sense to have the house on said land cost less than a certain percentage of the total value. Hence why homes still cost what they do.

Its not that computers in the cloud are cheap, its that the capacity will continue to grow and they're fully networked such that our AI overlords can take full advantage of them.
Yeah but I think I'll accept some low chance of tyranny for not getting shot in the face. Reckon I can handle dealing with the tyranny if it pops up, honest.
Because land usage is maximized with rectangle shaped plots, not rounded ones so pod or dome will never be popular. Same reason why they made cube shaped watermelons in Japan I I guess, to stuff as many of them as possible in containers.
>But there's no real sense in quibbling over the precise definition. What would you term the arbitrary and capricious decision to not support a new feature on a perfectly capable platform?

Basic product differentiation, for one.
It's a user interface shift.

A smartphone is an complex always on device with its own internet connection, microphone, GPS and camera.

We are not trading low risk UI with high risk UI. We switch or extend it to nodevice/voice control.

And I personally find it very impressive and subtile.

It just makes sense to use it in your kitchen, bedroom or on the Couch.

It is the same with Philips hue. Do I need it? No. Is it worth to me? Every penny. Why? Because it's a completely new level. Now you can combine lamps which had not one switch like your ceiling lights with a standlamp in the corner and you put your ligjtswitches where you actually are using them.

That was never possible before.and it's great for creating lightsettings. I'm using different lightsettings constantly.

For example our light is much less bright when I go to the toilet at night and it is motion detection based which I really love for our floor.

This reminds me of something I enjoyed writing a couple of years ago. I’d decided to use the Damm checksum algorithm[1] for order numbers at work. Every implementation that I could find was turning the number into a string than then check summing it one character at a time. And that approach felt rather suboptimal. So, I decided to write a numeric implementation[2].

Nationalism is a cult of humanity, and humans will use whatever tools are available to aid in the continuance of their interests. Hence, no amount of technolibertarian cleverness in engineering network protocols or cryptography is going to stop it. It can only be stopped in the messy, human world of politics and culture.

In the late 80s and 90s, I was a big fan of John Perry Barlow, the independence of cyberspace, crypto-anarchy on the internet, the idea that some combination of a uncensorable world wide internet (that could route around governments), could displace even their national currencies, could be end to end anonymous and encrypted, would be a nirvana from oppression.

The problem with the naive cyberlibertarian world view, is that it treats government as a wholly separate actor from the people who create the society they live in, and if your neighbors want to be Nazis, technological choices aren't going to protect you. It's not just "Digital Nationalism" that's rising. Nationalism is rising. You need only need at the US electing Trump, Brexit in the UK, at some of the neo-fascists elected recently in the EU.

The optimism of the 90s, has been replaced with a mentality of scarcity, and when that happens, people look to hoard, they become less generous, more tribal, they circle the wagons.

We are not going to fix Nationalism until we fix the underlying economic and social problems that are giving rise to it.
I recently moved to Linux as a primary (and only os). I was a windows user because of games and I was so fed up with automatic updates, privacy concerns and so on that I decided to fully go to Linux. I searched a lot over internet before choosing a distrib (I'm not pro Deb or rhel or else) so I ended up with Manjaro (KDE version). And it such a delight fully customizable. Steam installed with some of my games working without doing anything "complicated", I was impressed! And then I installed lutris for all non native games. I expected much much troubles but in fact, it was easy. I installed Epic games store first and oxenfree just to test. It runs smoothly! I also installed Control (great game) in standalone still with lutris. I finished the games with only two or three crashes.
So yes gaming on Linux is not ideal it might not be with the best performances also but it was much much easier than I though before doing the big step from windows to Linux. I'll follow any new improvements for gaming on Linux and I hope in the future that every store and game will be accessible natively on Linux. And that more and more user have the choice of the os they want!
Yeah, it's very disingenuous, what they actually should say is

Sup Guys! Long time Miami native - there are dozens of tech cos: I'm always psyched to meet more people and tell them all about what's going on in miami, feel free to email me: ab@bitsorbricks.com or text me 954-247-1673!
In that case, I'd be surprised that optimally 85% is best, if it is testing me on stuff I hadn't learned yet. 85% seems till too easy, if it is testing material I haven't had a lesson on yet.

See, it might make sense not hiring a sysadmin who will work on your physical servers in the datacenter if it's about paying $500 to AWS monthly vs $100 to the datacenter - coz the salary is say $5000 a month. But if the startup plans to stay on that level forever, they better not even start. And pretty soon you'll find yourself paying $20000 per month (very practical thing in a still small startup i know) vs $4000, turning situation around - and going off cloud while being live may be a painful transition.

(yes you get discounts on large volumes in the cloud, but so do you in the datacenters - you can for example rent whole rack which is a lot cheaper than doing it per-server).
One comment there asks what the ants are up to since they have no food to collect or queen to mate with and this was the response:

> Based on the article it seems that they're just endlessly maintaining their nest. Waiting for their Queen who will never come...

I found this to be both extremely hilarious and depressing
The seventeenth-century villager could meet everyone they "would come across usually" in a few months. Yet every day I meet more people than they would meet in those few months.

The top-level comment didn't say that most tricky/smart algorithms a beginning programmer comes across can be learned in a few months, or that most of the tricky/smart algorithms they need to be productive at work can be learned in a few months. (For most jobs and for many programming projects, as Hague points out, you don't need any "tricky/smart algorithms".) They claimed that most of the tricky/smart algorithms can be learned in a few months. And that's profoundly false; it's like when I thought I was an expert at computer programming because I had memorized the constructs of the BASICs of several different popular home computers.

If you want to organize your programming career so that you never face any interesting algorithmic problems, you can, easily. That doesn't even mean you won't face any interesting problems, because many other aspects of programming are interesting too, like Hague's favorite, videogame user experience design. But if instead you want to organize your programming career so that you do get to work on interesting algorithmic problems, there are no shortage of such open problems known, and there is an immense body of knowledge about solutions to those problems, as well as communities of practice where you can learn to solve them. Some of them are even quite lucrative.

The top-level comment is saying that this enormous wealth of algorithmic research simply does not exist; you are saying that it is worthless. Both of you are deeply mistaken.
A developer friend of mine has a pair. They’re pretty underwhelming. It basically creates a small rectangular overlay in the centre of your vision. Far from the fully immersive experience I was expecting.

I think this article focuses on the wrong kind of nationalism. I think that there are going to be virtual nations with virtual governments based around cryptocurrency ecosystems.

The existing physical governments will slowly lose their influence.

As existing governments become weaker, virtual nations will realize that they can seize companies (the means of production) and take possession of their revenues by strategically corrupting employees inside those companies.

The virtual governments will use seized company revenues to buy-back and burn their own cryptocurrencies to give their currencies more value and gain more power.

Eventually the virtual nations will take control of physical land in various countries by corrupting and manipulating existing government officials. Each new nation will be scattered geographically through all continents.
