Haven't seen that yet. The market in my vicinity always had vegetarian stuff. Maybe they now label everything that is vegan too.

I am no heavy meat eater but think all the fake stuff to be quite underwhelming. Quorn or however it is called can be spiced up quite well. I think they gave that to school children in the UK instead of meat because it was cheaper.

Overall I think it cannot compete with real meat, since that creates expectations. But cheese noodles can. Yeah, not vegan, but I don't really care about that from a diet perspective. Yes, cows could be treated better of course.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! I'm considering using this for a project where I need to measure distance between two nodes. Couple questions:

1. You mention "location and distance" between member nodes. I assume this is based on the LORA RSSI? How precise is the reading?

2. Do you support the "TTGO LORA32"? Your Github Readme mentions it, but Pages does not.

3. Will the TTGO LORA32 and Heltec LoRa 32 measure distance without being connected to a phone?
Remote Work Report
Small precision for those who don't know the context: the Eszett (which comes from the ligature of 'ss') existed for centuries already in German writing. 2017 is just the date of its official integration in the alphabet, so it's not a 'new' letter created from scratch. I say that because I remember learning it at school a few decades ago (even if at the time we were warned the subject was touchy), and I was surprised it wasn't standardized that earlier.
Thanks! There are many cloud providers (Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, Kingsoft etc), but they are not a de-facto "standard for everything", like AWS in the US. They are more used for CDN and cloud APIs, like recognition or mobile storage (think Firebase). But for infra, many companies still run racks.

Not all businesses are prepared to manage employees remotely. Unless it is an all-remote company, it's unlikely for the business to be prepared for the shift. The processes, internal controls, remote system accesses need to be adapted. Data exchange via insecure home wi-fi networks is also an issue.
Another problem is low productivity as in-office employees are disturbed at home and can't organize their time.
Transformify is an all-remote company and every now and then we have issues with new employees who are treating remote work as vacations.
There are only two ways to stop the virus: vaccination, and everyone having been in contact with the virus and having built immunity.

Everything else is only trying to slow the spreading. It is not useless though.

And keep in mind that without a vaccine, there is a fair chance for the virus to come back another winter (assuming it stops spreading in the summer).

What can catalyze basic income for all? I bet creating a channel for it to flow where governments aren't that advanced, yet. Only then will people start feeling what it means to be recipients.
How many inhabitants does Alaska have compared to the world population? (less than 0.01%) How many recipients will Andrew Yang have on his donation-based plan before he can convince the government in 2024 or 2028? (not sure)
How many people in the US compared to the world? (4.25%)
I'm talking of this happening on a worldwide scale in 3 years rather than 3 decades. And the limiting factor right now isn't the availability of money, but the lack of a channel.
Sure, governments need to be involved for it to be stable, but right now it's simply too high stakes and they simply won't do it.
I've been wondering if it would be possible to create an Internet movement large enough to impact Oracle's bottom line. Encourage employees and managers to immediately drop their business with Oracle, both as customers and as vendors. Encourage Oracle employees to quit and find more ethical places to work.

The real tragedy is that there are still "security" standards bodies mandating that AV software is installed on clients. If you want to be PCI-DSS compliant for example then you better install AV software.

Even worse, sometimes the requirements go even farther and require the AV software to be third-party - OS built-in solutions don't count.

At this point, the only safe solution is running proper whitelisting to make sure that only authorized binaries get to run and to keep those binaries up-to-date and, if possible, sanboxed.

If you have such a setup and then you have to install AV like this because of security-theatre, you're making your security much, much worse (because in order to run AV, you have to whitelist it and because AV is apparently written to quality standards that allow running arbitrary user-supplied JS as SYSTEM)
I really respect companies that have well-written engineering blogs that go in-depth into their technical problems - Figma comes to mind here, for example.

For a small team/company, what are some good tips or resources on how to start an engineering blog? We've worked on many interesting challenges and I know the team would have a lot of insights to share, but it can be difficult to find and justify the time that writing a good article takes, and it's not something that everyone is necessarily interested in doing either.

I'm curious about the mention of Cloudflare's culture of "internal blogging". That seems to me like it could be a first step in that direction.

Starlink doesn't talk directly to handsets, so you'd still need a pretty large and noticeable antenna that would draw unwanted attention from the local authorities. If this style of censorship works by raising friction for your typical internet user, well your typical internet user is also not going to import a large and expensive transceiver from abroad.

I could see expats bringing a Starlink system with them into a country with questionable internet to maintain a low latency VPN connection to company servers back home, but that's about the only people that would or could use Starlink. Even Musk has said that Starlink doesn't have the bandwidth to provide service for all the users that might want to access it from an urban area like Beijing.
Yeah, you see this everywhere -- "filter bubbles" and all that. People have been trained to expect protection from anything that even vaguely intrudes on their own sense of self-righteousness, and consider this breach the failing of Someone Else (TM), generally the platform operator (whether that's an employer, school, webmaster, mailop, etc.).

People expect a mechanism to first, punish the offending author (block, downvote, whatever), and then hide the offending content, and they refuse to engage on any platform that doesn't accommodate this. Not only that, but they often seem to try to destroy the platform for allowing the travesty of frank and honest discussion to take place.

There's a part of me that believes the restrictions of the physical world are really necessary for a productive dialogue. You can't stop anyone else from showing up, and the limits of dialogue are how far you can go before someone is throwing punches and you're both getting hauled off to jail. It seems to have a much better track record of producing acceptable middle-ground outcomes than "flag, block, ban".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_%E1%BA%9E

That letter, the capital eszett, has existed in German typefaces since at least 1905:

> Historical typefaces offering a capitalized eszett mostly date to the time between 1905 and 1930. The first known typefaces to include capital eszett were produced by the Schelter & Giesecke foundry in Leipzig, in 1905/06. Schelter & Giesecke at the time widely advocated the use of this type, but its use remained very limited.

Eszett is usually just a lower-case form; it is most often upper-cased to SS, or two capital letter esses, being an example of how changing case does not always preserve the number of letters in a text. Capital eszett is very rare, but it was in uncommon usage in German text, and so it was added to Unicode.
Nope. I did the following steps: (1) uninstall TST (2) restart browser (3) install TST (4) restart browser.

All the tabs were as is. But I also purposefully did not open or close any tabs between (2) and (3). Not sure what the impact of that would be.

Certainly washing hands is not the end of everything, but it cuts about 20% of the total number of transmissions, for flu at least. So it is significant, when you have a pandemic with a virus for which nobody has immunity.

I managed to run sample app on linux box.

Observations:

- I am not sure this is 'full' javascript engine. I am thinking more inline with static-eval [0]

Example 1:
Date.now()
returns 'Exception: undefined'

Example 2:
console.log([1, 2, 3].map(function(x) { return x; }))
returns 'Exception: function(x) { return x; }'

- I couldn't manage to access DOM
document.write("<h1 id='x'>html</h1><script>console.log(document.getElementById('x'));</script>");

returns empty

- After reversing DLL little bit, seems like it is used as unpacker ( also it has VBA support )

Still can be some vulnerabilities, but saying running full Javascript/DOM implementation is 100% wrong

Online Travel's Unknown Destination
Personally, I feel the main part where I face the most difficulty in writing blog posts (for companies), are illustrations which adhere to the branding guidelines/style of the company. I feel these custom illustrations are something that makes the blog stand out and the content easy to consume (attractive?) for a general reader.

Even if there are no direct instructions to follow the design principles/themes of the company, it kind of makes sense that there are some underlying design principles that all the tech blogs are adhering to (in terms of videos, animations, illustrations, code snippets).

I know about tools like [1] but they are fairly basic (afaik) in terms of visuals.

For instance, look at the amount of work in creating illustrations for [2], it seems they had someone assigned from the design team to help with these. Another example is in the blog post [3] linked in the original post.

In Germany there was (is?) a rule that for receiving a government incentive the "base model" of a car without "extras" had to below 60k. Tesla quickly offered a model on that price point ... people bought this in the version with extras (as one always does ...) later they had to repay the incentive as it was rruled that the base model didn't exist, as Tesla wouldn't sell.
> I bet the number of times the average user looks at their own message on someone else’s device is pretty low

That is not the issue. The issue is that users expect the emoji they send to look the same to the receiver.

Geeks know that emojis are "characters" and therefor might look slightly different in different fonts. But this is not how the average user sees it. They see emojis as small images and expect them to transfer unaltered just like any other image they put into a message.
It is troubling how it correlates with COVID-19 death rate.

I was in part reacting to the article, which claims the superiority of the Tesla autopilot over the i3's driving assistance systems.

And I just don't see that as much of an everyday advantage or selling point, just like you also pointed out.
The Eszett (ß) has been already standardized for several decades (since 1986: with ISO 8859-1 aka latin-1).

The newly added letter is the "capital letter Eszett", which did not exist until recently. One could argue that this new letter is not really needed, as Eszett does not appear in capitalized form except when a word is in all-caps, and was then simply written as "SS".

If you push yourself enough you get stronger, fail to push and you get weaker. Accumulate enough weakness and everything in life becomes really hard. Truly terrifyingly hard to the point it just gets bizare. Running a marathon is easier for some people than walking to the car is for others. If you build up enough strength you can also accomplish things that take a lot of effort and time. The satisfaction you get from that cant be compared to instant gratification. But more importantly, you feel fantastic when you have the energy and know you can do hard challenging things right when you decide to go for it. Not next week, right now!

‘A big drop in demand’: Confessions of a media buyer on coronavirus fallout
How deep do you want to go on 'the reason' for the current situation? What kinds of 'causes' do you admit as constituting a valid understanding of the situation?

Why is the question we're interested in only 'Why was the fence built?'

What about: 'Why is the fence still there?' or 'Why do we keep maintaining this fence?' or 'Why wasn't a wall built?' or 'Why are you so invested in the continued existence of this fence?'
Similar comments here with Model 3. In a way it's almost incidental that it's an electric car.

When I had a Model S loaner, I was blown away how much they've simplified just from S to 3: wide open interior, reduction in the [already spartan] amount of physical controls. (I also briefly had a Kia loaner for that same visit, and I felt like a monkey trying to operate an Apollo spacecraft, unable to find the switches and dials for everything.)

Tesla, whether for cost cutting or genius, simply said "do you really need all of these manual/physical controls, or can it be A) done automatically via software, or B) put onto a single screen?", and it, in my opinion, has worked quite well. Yes the "AI" wipers took time to come around, and you hit the occasional UI bug, but it's far and away a very acceptable trade off for a magnitude more space in the cabin and (if you appreciate such things) clean, simple, lines throughout. Even the silly flip down LED visor mirrors delight people the first time they use them in my car.

AP/FSD may never get where they claim, but I've taken many-hundred mile trips with AP on (on highways), and even my drive to work is immensely better with AP in long stretches, so I consider it well worth the [AP] cost. As ridiculous as it sounds, all those micro-movements on the road do add up and take a toll on you during drives.

I actually drive fairly conservatively (turning into my "slow lane is fast enough" father), but for demos and when I do really want to pass someone, the acceleration and instant power still marvels. :)
