I'm also an espresso fan, and agree that it is no contest between the Aeropress and a proper lever or pump espresso machine.

For camping though, I've used a couple of different moka pots and recently got an Aeropress, and I think the Aeropress is better.

With the moka pot you're sort of crossing your fingers hoping that the tamp and heat are right and the water is getting shoved through the grounds just fast enough to make them expand and make the brew happen, rather than whizzing through or coming out painfully slowly or even blocking up everything so the rest of the water goes out the steam valve.

With the Aeropress (or another similar item I've seen with two arms sticking out), you just shove it through. And for cleanup, you don't have to wait to unscrew two blazing hot metal pieces.
I don't, but keeping an eye out here is probably the best way to find out; I'm pretty sure that's how I saw the announcement above.

Lots of publishers are making their textbooks temporarily available through resources like VitalSource and Redshelf, but (a) VitalSource at least is still reading DRMd material through a clumsy app (I haven't tried Redshelf); and (b) they seem more geared towards college textbooks than to scholarly works.

I love GLBasic. It's a basic with types (sort of classes). Also has 3D grafics but I mostly used it for 2D. It's on steam now and can export to several platforms other than windows. It has been around for quite a while, there is little to no bootstrapping needed and it's fast. You can also write inline C if you need more speed. I haven't had the chance to try android export yet but I have seen some people from the community put up things there recently so it does work.

I guess the main use of the steep land is to provide physical distance from the neighbors. We do have some trails and lots of trees for hiking and firewood. Hunting is an option when in season. The animals tend to walk on the trails because it is easier, same as humans do. Assuming the virus does not get me I will plant some fruit trees.

It took us about a year of looking to find land that met our requirements at a reasonable price. It is possible to find deals but it takes a while.
Then you must know the purpose of our lives. Enlighten me.
Somewhat funny to think how different I would expect an article with this headline to be if it was posted on HN this time last year.
There is already an older PAKE in TLS, TLS-SRP. It doesn't apear to be well-loved [0] and I don't know enough about the IP situation to use it confidently, so I've been looking through the CFRG reviews on PAKE candidates [1] to get more info.

I mentioned certs because they're a pain to manage and are generally how people do TLS, though there are a few PSK options [2].

Your right that implementing a secure RSA protocol by one's self is difficult. That's the idea of things like Noise, to make messing up your own protocol implementation harder (albeit not impossible). The other option is building on something like libsodium that has a good, well-documented API and is hard(er) to screw up.

TLS certainly works for a lot of things, it just doesn't work for everything. For that reason, something that bakes it in probably won't replace TCP.

If there's interest in this kind of stuff, I'm working on open-sourcing the core of a SaaS side project[0] I have. It's visual voicemail on steroids (cliché, sorry) and, like the linked article describes, accepts your forwarded call and handles the voicemail. Afterwards (and this was my original use-case), it can trigger a bunch of hooks to your favorite things — Dropbox, email, Slack, SMS, Zapier, what have you (and all right out of the box).

I built it because I was on Android and wanted to keep my moms voicemails. :)

> Tastewise I've tried it with both metal and paper filters and regular and reverse method, as well as different types and grains of coffee - there's no tangible difference to a decent French press. And of course both are far far far away from a proper espresso as you'd expect in a proper Italian or Portuguese café.

I daresay that espresso is a very different style of coffee for people who are used to immersion brews. Espresso drinkers would prefer what they're used to. To each their own.

Most espresso shots end up being sour and unpleasant for me, but I've had a few (most recently, at Pablo & Rusty's in Sydney) that absolutely blew my mind.
If they contribute back was the question.
As someone who enjoys good coffee, I still think cheap shitty coffee is better than bad (here meaning anything I don't like) craft coffee. It tends toward muted flavors rather than anything actively unenjoyable. If I don't like the roast in a quality cup of coffee, all of those flavors I don't like will be front and center.

I mean, I don't really know how "consistently high call quality" is not the most important feature of any video chat application. My experience on hangouts has always been garbage. Delays, choppy sound, my machine starts going insane while rendering other people's live video. It may just work in the sense that you can immediately use it, but if even 20% of the time you use it the call quality sucks, then it's a crap product IMO.

Because business is mostly about sales and marketing and not so much about the product. Exceptions occur, of course, but generally a better marketed product is more successful than a better built product.

Engineers don't like sales and marketing generally. That's why they're engineers. And unlike as you state, building in general is not necessarily fun, only specific things being built are fun, those that align with the interests of the builder. If you told me to build a house, I wouldn't necessarily consider that fun, so your initial premise is flawed. A business in this case also falls into the "not fun" category, again, in general to engineers.

Actually kids can be pretty impressed if they did the program themselves. They think it's all magic until they try it on their own, also makes them more understanding for others work and bugs. Less acidic when it comes to judging others work on the play-store.

Yes, and the inventor said he went with paper instead of metal because it tastes better and doesn’t allow sediment into the cup.

Trying both I came to the same conclusion. I reuse a filter ~5 times. Bonus: you don’t need to “burn” the filter every time to remove paper taste, and after a rinse you can just leave it in the filter holder to dry so it’s ready to go immediately.
Looking at masks for all as a tool to prevent the spread of the disease makes complete sense.

The CDC has said over and over that asymptomatic individuals can still pass the virus and that it's mostly transferred via respiratory droplets. The mask would at least reduce transmissions.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-si...

As individuals we can wash our hands to help us from getting infected but we can't prevent someone else from spraying us with droplets. Only the wareing of masks will help with that.

So, MASKS FOR ALL WORKS.
if you were cynical, you might say this is just yet another attempt at spin; to present himself as a relatable human (like "we all get angry, we all make mistakes", although note he didn't use e.g. angry, but "frustrated", "upset", and "emotions", vaguer and more passive options).

this could work, too, as long as you forget that drafting words seems to literally be his job (for which i'm sure he's handsomely rewarded).

Doctors see flatter curve after 2 weeks of social isolation
Controlling someone else’s language and implying they are selfish for not changing is a lack of the social skills this framework purports to instill. You do not need to control someone’s language with a framework to enquire about their feelings. The majority of your comment is waffle littered with unsolved problems.

This NVC is fundamentally predatory on another’s mindset by controlling language under the guise of caregiving. It is an attempt to prime people for being heavily micromanaged in a few years by clogging up language with identifying feelings whilst real decisions are made by the nvc practitioners.
My understanding is that if hypothermia isn't involved, anyone who can't be resusitated by paramedics but can be resuscitated at the hospital are very unlikely to have any quality of life afterwards.

This library is for the RAD-0301 meter, marketed as a the co2meter.com mini CO2 meter. I don't know if it works with any other models but as I have one of these, I can tell you it works from my linux machines.

You're probably going 'Wow that's expensive for a CO2 meter when I can goto Aliexpress and get one for $10!' This is actually pretty cheap for a NDIR sensor which is what one should use for CO2 monitoring. The cheapo $10 sensors are all VOC sensors that require calibration and can be affected by airborne pollutants like alcohol.

I believe this is only 100ppm accuracy, the 5-10ppm resolution sensors are many hundreds of dollars. It's fine enough for casual air quality measurements.
There is a link to a manual for the ZG01 CO2 Module at the bottom of the page. So i guess the lib is for that module. But i couldn't find a source to buy that.

I would disagree that it's impossible in the US today to do all those things.

Impossible in or near a major city? Sure, but that's probably 10% of less of the land mass.

There is plenty of remote places in the US where you could build whatever structure you want and you'd probably be left alone.

If you’re an espresso drinker and are looking for something that makes a frankly excellent little shot of coffee and is comparably (with the AeroPress) low-fuss and low-maintenance, I bought a handpresso (https://www.handpresso.com/en/) a couple months back for an overseas trip but was so happy with it that it’s now my daily driver.

A lot of positive comments about Pluralsight here so I thought I'd offer a slightly different perspective:

I had a subscription through work and was excited to jump in and learn as much as I could but I found the talks to be quite information-sparse when compared to say, destoryallsoftware.com [0] videos. As a result, I was apt to watch lessons at 1.5x speed in order to cover ground more quickly, which took a little getting used to.

I looked into why this might be, and discovered (at least back in 2015) that authors are paid in part, per minute of engagement [1], which might account in part for the length of the courses.

Judging from what I've read subsequently, I may just have been unlucky in the courses I selected (I didn't watch any Microsoft ones for example) so if anyone has any recommendations on particularly good courses, I'd be interested to give it a second try.

I respect that you believe that and you can meaningfully connect the rhetoric of small government to specious criticism of consumer protections laws.

Just realize that to a significant part of the thinking public, it's NOT about that. It's about the government controlling everything from the size of your soda to your toilet seat size to the way your kids are educated to how you get your healthcare.

A significant part of the public does NOT believe if it's a good idea, and there are bad consequences to someone not following the good idea, it therefore ought to be a law. It's not cynical on their part at all.

Just trying to share with you the perspective of these people.
Yeah, the only other video app I've used that approaches the call quality is Slack. I've not tried to use that with more than a handful of people though.
That was a prediction CDC made in early Feb for broader China. More recent CDC reports for United States (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6912e2-H.pdf) say mortality is somewhere between 1% (lower bound) and ~30% (depending on age) based on calculations they did w/ cases having "known outcomes". The CDC says they only have 44 such samples at this time, and that ICU status data is missing or unknown for the several thousand or so other cases. So we really just don't know the facts yet.
I find the Aeropress much easier to clean than a French Press. I just pop the grounds and paper into the trash/compost when I'm done and quickly rinse the 3 pieces and my stirrer.

Maybe I'm just bad at cleaning a french press but I always felt it took way more effort.

I also only drink one cup of coffee in the morning so an Aeropress is great. I keep a larger French Press around in case more people want coffee though.

For something to be a replicator, what does that mean? Surely just that it somehow causes more of itself to be made, and has enough variability to change its descendants. A particular organic molecule like say a simple sugar doesn't fit this, because its structure is always the same. But a DNA strand can actually be any of many similar structures.

I think the distinction between what is doing the replication is spurious. The fact is even living replicators need some sort of base resource to exploit to pull off the feat. I could say that animals aren't replicators, because they inherently require other living creatures to be eaten in order to replicate.

The deeper point is true, but hits at an even deeper point. Which is what lay behind the attitude in the comment that I was responding to.

Are you familiar with https://www.triballeadership.net/? Based on language patterns, people and organizations can be classified into 5 levels. The linguistic patterns are (1) Life Sucks, (2) My Life Sucks, (3) I'm Great (but you suck), (4) We're Great (but some other organization sucks), and (5) Life Is Great.

There are formal tools behind that classification, and formal ways to measure it, but in general the opinion of people you interact with will be fairly consistent. That notwithstanding, most people judge themselves as operating at a level or two better than they actually do.

Here is where that becomes a problem. Most successful executives operate at level 3, but think that they operate at level 4 or 5. They can adopt any linguistic pattern that they think will make them more successful, but the tools make them more effective at being level 3, with the attendant problems that result for others.

This is not a slight on the communication tools. Emotional people will tend to escalate until the emotion is noticed and acknowledged. Therefore doing that up front really does calm the other person down, and really does facilitate communication. Conversely, approaching challenges with openness, curiosity and openmindedness really does make problems easier to solve.

However if you give a person the tools without changing their underlying attitudes, what looks and sounds wonderful will, over time, create the exact same type of problems in the long run. It just creates them more effectively.

Absolutely 100% no.

I was sitting in an embassy in Bamako,Mali watching some crappy TV show where Americans were getting shot at, chased and beaten to death by horrible people. At some point they said "We gotta get to Bamako".

It hit me that millions of people watching the show would think that's what Mali is like.

I was sitting in Bamako, and had been there for two months, and still had a great impact on me when I walked outside.
