One thing that I find to be incredibly useful is the keyboard shortcut `00` (press zero twice while focus is outside of a cell), which will restart the kernel, clear all output and re-run the whole notebook.

This way I'm sure that "library code" that I'm editing in parallel in a real text editor is up to date in the notebook and also solves the limits the confusion due to run-out-of-oder problems.

The overall workflow is something like this:

1. explore using thing.<TAB>, thing?, and %psource thing
2. edit draft code chunk or function
3. when chunk 80% done; move it to a module
and replace it with an import statement
4. press 00 to re-run everything, then GOTO step 1

The key to preserving sanity is step 3—as soon as the exploration phase is done, move to a real text editor (and start adding tests). Don't try to do big chunks of software development in the notebook. You wouldn't write an entire program in the REPL, would you?

Sometimes I keep around the notebook as a record for failed explorations or as a "test harness" for the code, but most of the time it's throwoutable since all the useful bits have moved into a normal python module/script under version control.
Because no one in big corps would then fight for these kind of issues. Amazon changing parts of its business to be more sustainable is probably more impactful than dozens of NGOs at full speed.
I'm not a contractor beating up on these things every day. I need an impact wrench a couple times a year, my HF stuff is fine for my use case. I love the Bosch impact driver I got at Lowe's 10 years ago, but they've changed the battery pack so I can't take advantage of compatibility with other Bosch tools. HF also has random stuff for close to free... packs of zip ties for $2, decent work gloves for $4, actually free LED light perfect for under a car, etc.
Building a _new_ hackintosh is easy, and requires very little messing around if you follow sensible guidelines. It generally gets messy after a few years and several OS updates. There are generally less users on forums with the same hardward specs, asking less questions. Apple drop support for things, and recommended methods to install/update change enough to become painful.

I just upgraded my hackintosh from El Capitan to Catalina. It wasn't all fun, but wasn't too bad either. I'll probably get another couple of years trouble free with this OS, so it was worth it. After that I'll switch to Linux or Windows for my main system, though.

I have almost the exact same setup as you: same CPU cooler, same CPU, and the pro WiFi version of the Z390. However, when I’m doing a long-running clean build that uses the 16 logical cores, the temperature for each core gets up to 80 C. Any thoughts why that would be?
I get that culture is valuable, but it's weird to me that part of a claim of modern superiority relies on bragging about doing things the same way you were doing them hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Your comment inspired me to do some math:

I have an old 24 tape robot I haven't used in a while. Priced out a used LTO8 drive and 24 LTO7 tapes, and assuming that they're formatted M8 to 9TB, it still costs out to $0.02/GB-- so only just breaking even with the 12TB USB3 external drives.

You need a lot of tapes before LTO starts comparing favorably to current drive prices even using LTO7 tapes. :( like 1PB before it's really attractive.

You can certainly neatly organize those. First of all, ox and horsecarts don't even really need tarmac, and so in many countries where these means of transportation persist, they are only allowed to use the earth surface parallel to the road. Scooters should be expected to do the same, as even the cheap Chinese motorbikes found throughout the developing world have tires thick enough for earth or even sand.

I don't have a hate for Docker, its really useful for certain things, but with a project like this I would preffer to run it myself without th docker scafolding and hand holding, I would like to go straight in here and play around.

It's just a preference I guess, but it's time consuming now to go and extract the docker fluff for me.

I would argue a more mature project would benefit more from stronger versioning management though.
Book Afterthoughts – “Company of One” by Paul Jarvis
I run https://motion-project.github.io/index.html on a DELL D400 (I think, it's Core 2 ULV), uploads picture to Gdrive. I set it up when leaving for long vacations.

I used to run a 24/7 server (bittorrent, HTTP) on a fanless PC originally built for cash desks. Got it very cheap, ran several years till the Debian repo actually disappeared!! Consumption was 19W with HDD. It was replaced with a RaspPi and a SSD.

BTW almost all the laptops at home have been bought used (usually in Germany where offer is plenty). All the tablets (Google Nexus 7 1st gen) have been bought used. No regret when kids break one.

The awful control flow syntax makes reading longer scripts pretty much impossible. Plotting is very clunky and by default produces output files that are essentially unreadable.

Of course one can somehow work around these issues, but it is much easier (and free) to just use python.
I love and use split screen all the time on my iPad for a variety of use cases. Even though I love the feature and find it really useful all of the UI constraints related to it are totally true. I would never want the feature removed, but the existing UI for it is beyond maddening.

I have been using some version of an iPad since the day it came out. Version 1 is still alive and kicking and being used by our 3 year old, so far, it has been the most robust :)

Pros: biometrics / security / immediately usable to check email

Cons: software has started going all SAAS and Apple allowed developers to upgrade and break previous versions to force users on to SAAS versions
I did that for a long time with a 7" Nexus tablet, but it's hard to carry an iPad in your pocket - even the Mini is almost 8", way too big for any of my pockets -, and if I have to carry a bag, I'd rather bring a full 12" laptop with me.

Editor finds natural log base to 36 digits
Was developing some notes on calculus for
a nephew, derived Taylor series, and just
as an example wrote some code for editor
KEdit, with 1000 decimal digit precision,
to calculate natural log base e to 36
decimal digits. Amazing how well the code
worked. Including the code here.

In TeX, Taylor series is

f(x) = \sum_{i=0}^n {(x - x_0)^i \over i!}
f^{[i]}(x_0) + R_n(x_0)

with R_n(x_0) as the error term.

To derive the expression for R_n(x_0),
just differentiate f(x) with respect to
x_0 where then nearly all the terms
cancel, simplify, integrate from x_0 to x,
and apply the mean value theorem.

The results are, for some s between x_0
and x:

R_n(x_0) = (x - x_0)
{(x-s)^n \over n!} f^{[n+1]}(s)

Final results of the code:

e = 2.71828182845904523536028747135266250

The error is less than

2.90 x 10^(-40)

The code is in the language KEdit macro
language Kexx, a version of Rexx:

macro_name = 'NATLOG'

out_file = macro_name || '.out'

'nomsg erase' out_file

Call msgg macro_name': Find natual logarithm base e'

numeric digits 1000

n = 35

sum = 1

factorial = 1

Do i = 1 To n
factorial = i * factorial
sum = sum + 1/factorial
Call msgg Format(i, 5) Format(factorial, 50) Format(sum, 2, 35)
End

error = 3 / factorial

Call msgg macro_name': The error is <='

Call msgg Format( error, 59, 50 )

Call Lineout out_file

Return

If you’ve been to India, you will see that there is no earth surface parallel to the road in many places. It’s a path that is two lanes wide, maybe a little longer, and everything is negotiable. It may be possible to reign it in with China style authoritarian rule, but Indian culture is not like that in my experience. Although perhaps it would result in a safer environment.

I have an original iPad here just waiting around to die. Something like this seems like a perfect use case for it. Thanks.

It's inevitable that if the US is to keep a nuclear arsenal, thousands of new nuclear weapons will have to be manufactured...

... and tested?

The U.S. government could announce to the world a temporary resumption of atmospheric nuclear tests, in violation of several binding treaties, in the name of practical necessity. Such a step would not be taken lightly. A series of tests could be conducted over a few months to test new bomb designs, as well as the older Minutemen and B61s. Those tests could take place at the old Nevada Test Site and in the Pacific.

> Taiwan is included as part of China on this map

Where do you see that? I only see mention of "Taiwan" on the map, no mention of whether or not it's part of mainland China.

> which it's not

Regardless of whether it's "de-facto independent" and whether the mainland has a legitimate claim or not, the de-jure situation is that Taiwan is not recognized by the United Nations.

And I think now is not the time to argue about the validity of the the mainland-Taiwan situation. It's not even productive to do so. Besides, Taiwan has already restricted travel to and from China: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-taiwan-trave...

Yeah, I don't understand it also.

For me I like the hardware of Mac but hate the software (macOs) as it assumes the users is a dummy, it is particularly hostile to power users.

Heck, even my wife (which is not a power user) thinks that macOs on her MacBook Air is too limiting and tries to hide "too complicated stuff" from the user, and considers getting a Windows laptop after using Air for 6 years. The only benefit of macOs from her perspective is integration with iPhone and airpods.

Similar feelings from my coworkers who choose MacBook over Lenovo at my work (particuarly using fullscreen on 2 monitors is a PITA).
I agree with this. My grandmother (who passed away in 2018 at the age of 91) tried to get into computers regularly for a decade, starting in the early 2000. We tried a lot of things, nothing stuck. Every device we would give her would quickly gather dust, unused after a few days.

Then in 2013 she got an iPad 2 and she instantly started using it several hours a day for the next five years.

In particular, I set it up so I could push new family photographs to her iPad remotely through iCloud. That was absolutely life-changing for her: now she was able to see super recent photos of all her children and grandchildren without having to beg for a printed version. That also worked for videos: for the first time since the VHS days she could replay family videos whenever she wanted.

She also liked multiple card games and the iPad was a wonderful device to play them electronically. The biggest self-service I ever gave myself was to only suggest games that had a paying version without ads, and pay a few euros to buy them. The biggest problems with ads for her was that she could sometimes be a bit sloppy with the touchscreen : when an ad was present it would redirect her to a random website and she would get lost. The quality of the iPad touchscreen and that we stuck to ad-free apps allowed her to almost never get lost like this anymore.

While the iPad may not have been a revolution for the general population, it definitely changed the world for my grandmother. For that I will be grateful for this device to exist.

Miss you, grandma.
It's a matter of perspective. The UI many of us use on our Linux desktops (Xfce) has changed very little from what was current in 1995; the most prominent change has been touch readiness forcing bigger widgets and "header bars" compared to a pure mouse+keyboard UI; and even there the biggest effect has been simply to offset the improvement in screen area (from 640x480 or so to 1366x768).
Maybe thinking about the data and what your trying to do before coding might be an idea as well.
Download and look before running gives you an opportunity to spot something that's obviously, totally wrong... Not that one always uses that chance but at least you had it.

Installer systems that chain these "download and run" scripts (Node RED is the most recent I've used) scare me despite all the valid points TFA makes. "Not invented here / history must be reinvented" seems like philosophical point for some of these systems.
As long as you choose your hardware wisely all you need is UniBeast and post-install MulitBeast. All I've ever had to do in over 10 years of Hackintosh use is re-install my MultiBeast config after an OS update.

Massive savings and modability. A Hackintosh can be significantly cheaper and you're free to upgrade your disk, RAM and cpu.
One minor note is that the "real time" nature of this map is a bit deceiving at the moment, at least to me. While the specific figures imply that it's pulling data at a near real-time basis, it's still dependent on countries posting the latest figures in batch, and then being updated as last indicated in the top right. As of now, it seems verbal announcements precede the digital announcements and as such I've found journalist-maintained maps to be a bit more up to date with the latest announcements, such as the one maintained by the NYTimes. Although if this continues to spread to different demographics, this map will probably have much higher utility.
This is awesome. If you haven't thought about it - looks like you can compete with coderpad etc. for monetization.

Opposite for me - We could pick a three month project in our undergraduate (about 11 years ago), and one of the listed projects aims was to manipulate yeast cells with phages.

Did you use WiFi? An old Wifi router can easily add half a second of latency. Even high end Wifi endpoint still adds a few ms of latency which can be significant considering that short distances (20 miles) of fiber has sub ms latency.
A software router or switch can also add up to a ms of latency. Could also try SSH (tunnel) instead of VPN as SSH encryption might be faster.
In 1934, electricity use was limited, and still fairly novel in many places. Utterly unavailable in much of the rural US (look into the rural electrical cooperatives).

Principle household uses would have been lighting and refrigeration, possibly a few clocks, a radio, and perhaps appliances.

Averaged over a day, draw per person could well have been only a few tens of watts. 50W per person for a household of four would be about 150 kWh per month, which sounds roughly reasonable.

The 2018 US average was 914 kWh/mo:

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3

In 1930, direct electrical use was only 1% of total household energy consumption. Coal was 69%, fuelwood still 23%. Expressed as kWh/mo (the source below has graphs giving nationwide trillions of BTU/yr electrical equivalent) the number looks closer to 80 kWh/mo, or 110 watt constant, about 28 watt/person assuming a family of four.
