As people have said in other comments, the Pilot Metropolitan is a pretty good pen, and a bit cheaper. If you buy one, keep in mind that a Pilot medium nib is similar to most Fine nibs. If I had to recommend one pen to start out with, it would be that one. And it was my favorite one until recently - I found it better than many of the more expensive ones.

You can get some really good looking, cheap, Jinhaos on the Internet (eBay, etc) (e.g. $4/pen). These are Chinese pens, and the quality control is fairly poor. You can buy 5 of the same model and one may be great and another may not. The good ones, though, are great. They are not cheap quality material. I got an x450, and swapped out the nib for a Goulet nib, and I love the pen.

penBBS[1] is a Chinese woman who makes pens and sells them on Etsy. These are of quite good quality - you can search the Internet for reviews. I have a 309 - it was the first pen among many that I've tried that dethroned the Pilot Metropolitan. She also has some creative designs like the 469 which has a nib and compartment at both ends, so you can fill it with 2 different inks. The nibs on the PenBBS are OK, but some of them will allow you to swap with other brands' nibs - be sure to research this though as not all her pens will allow for this (the caps may not fit with other nibs of the same size).

Most of the joy with fountain pens is using is trying different inks out. Various sites sell samplers. I usually buy mine from Goulet Pens[2]. Unless you really use the pen a lot a bottle of ink (35-50ml) will last years, and it's boring to use the same ink over and over. So I just buy the samplers. You may need a syringe to fill your pen with them, though.

Last but not least - the type of paper matters, and most notebooks in the US are not fountain pen ink friendly. You'll get feathering, bleed through, or both. Try Clairefontaine or Figurare notebooks. There are other options. If you have a Japanese store in your town with a stationery section, chances are most of their notebooks will be good with FP ink as I believe Japanese students still use FP a lot.

I don't recommend spending more on a pen than you are willing to lose. People lose pens all the time. I've personally lost 2 Pilot Metropolitans. If it's valuable, you will keep it at home and rarely use it.

(Yes, I walk around with a FP pen in my pocket. No pocket protector. I live dangerously).

None if possible. In the safety critical parts you want to use software that

- don't do dynamic any memory allocation, has bounded memory usage, never runs out of memory.

- has bounded execution times

- has low interrupt latency

- can do checksum on data and internal state an option. (if need to load into memory)

- is tested using the most rigorous standards, 100% verification and code coverage.

If you write great relatively general but customizable database system like this with good indexing, you need only 5-10 customers and you are set. Safety-critical systems are growing in size and there is real need for software that can get easily certified.

SQLite could probably get certified as a part a system at least as read only database. It's relatively solid code. But it will cost big money and I don't think anyone has done it.
> I didn't know about possible patents, that sucks. (I live in the EU, though, so I can still give them the finger if I need to.)

Hamburg made this IP risk pretty clear in the paper, for a bit more context on it, see [1]. Because in the U.S. you have a full year before you even need to file a patent after publishing, we'll still have to wait and see if Hamburg's employer files a patent on his method. If they don't, nice; if they do, fucking hell this is why we can't have nice things. Renes/Costello/Batina is unencumbered as far as I know.

Sofle looks nice. I really like the idea of having dials on-board.

The only thing I would miss is the thumb-cluster design of the Model01. Having thumb keys a little farther to the side, and having a thumb-knuckle key is really comfortable.

The extra portability of the lily58/sofle design would be nice, though.
Of course it doesn't magically add https. I never said it did. As you said it enforces use of https instead of http. That is what I said was necessary. The three reasons that is necessary were what I listed.

During my ARMY service, my Sargent told me there are two types of people: hardworking and dumb, or smart and lazy. He said the ARMY wants its officers to be smart and lazy so they'll get the job done in the least amount of effort, but they want the grunts to be dumb and hard working so they won't question.
Imagine your same argument but comparing old computer modems to new ones. I dont get it why is a gigabit connection a big deal? I have my 14.4kps modem and I can download images just as good? ... Now we can do a lot more, for a lot cheaper, and the cheaper it becomes the more we can do in space. We could do mining, better satellites, colonies, better research.. Space is the limit ;)

"Crawford was found shot to death Thursday night in his car, just like activist Darren Seals in 2016 and protester DeAndre Joshua the night of the Ferguson verdict in 2014. The latter two had gunshot wounds to the head and their cars were lit on fire. Crawford, it is believed by police, shot himself in the back seat of his car either in an attempted suicide or by accident."
Yep, the lockdown means I am at home all the time, so I started pulling out hardware to make things, programming the programs that always I was working on in the back of my head and finish writing the fan-fics I have going.

The idea that you only do things because it is your job suggests a limited life, I remember when I was working telling the others about all the trips and cruises I did on my time off. When I asked they what they did on vacation they always went to the same places year after year. I guess that is what they wanted.

That’s an interest question. What are the application for a rational actor in the EMH? Can application be reduced or applied to a subset of actors. What are the predictions for a random or misinformed actor in the market?
The timing of the release of this tool seems a bit innapropriate, given the state of rioting in a few US cities now. It's going to be incredibly draining on law enforcement in the US for a few years to identify and prosecute criminals involved in riots. Most victims already who have lost their homes, their businesses, and even their loved ones will mostly likely never see the criminals brought to justice given the scale of the violence.

It could be useful to protect people from relatiation under an authoritarian government, such as in Hong Kong. I dislike the idea of a government using mass automatic identification, that could be used again by authoritarians for terrible goals. I also dislike the idea of the opposite and using automatic anonymizing to protect criminals during riots. We're probably going to keep seeing an arms race in this, with good and bad actors on all sides.
You think it is worth debating whether massive troll farms spreading misinformation and stoking hatred and division on a nation-state scale is good or bad?

For reference here, Mount St. Helens' 1980 blast was ~25 MT over the whole of the eruption, about half of Tsar Bomba. The initial blast was ~7 MT, a bit less than a W-53 Titan. That initial blast put a cubic mile of rock into the air, up to 15 miles high for some of it, and all over the continent.

If you put these numbers into the map, be sure to use the 'surface blast' option, not the 'air blast'.

Show HN: ImageCart – Low cost unlimited public and private Docker repositories
Prepare the Journals for a 100 fold increase in submitted papers, mostly from China, India, Pakistan.
In truth, the journals review via volunteer experts in the field who screen out the crap. People can prepay the journal fee and make it open source. Better would be for the Nobell Committee to announce they will only consider open source papers....
That would be a real fox in the henhouse situation...
Hi, I'm the creator of ImageCart - I've been working on it now for a few months and a friend strongly encouraged me to share it for community feedback.

ImageCart is (going to be) a low cost private repository hosting solution for individuals and small teams. I've started with support for Docker repositories, but plan to add other repository types.
I like the interface and that it doesn't need a server to generate the QR image, but it doesn't work for my network ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: perhaps I should clarify that that's my network's name. In the qr code reader it shows up as ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and it's stored in wpa_supplicant.conf as c2af5f28e38384295f2fc2af (indeed missing the backslash).
In my experience that separation of concerns was fake. 15+ years of webdev and I ain’t ever seen a redesign that doesn’t fundamentally change the layout and business logic. Never seen a spec update to logic that doesn’t also change how things look.

The coupling is super tight and always has been.
Normal people are extremely sensitive to deviations from social norms. There's even a word for it, "coolness" and more modern derivatives. Human social interactions are extremely complex, both verbal and otherwise, and people will subconsciously become uncomfortable or disinterested when people deviate too far from patterns.

The weird kids get bullied because they are legitimately weird. But pretending to be normal is difficult and tiring and inevitably you say or do enough unusual stuff that you give off weird "vibes".

And what we call "bad vibes" are often just people picking up subconsciously on subtle abnormal behaviors. I doubt that 90% of the population has actually considered any of this from an introspective perspective. Asperger's is simultaneously obvious and invisible. And doubly difficult because the rules we are supposed to follow are abstract and unspoken, exactly the kind of ideas with which autism makes people struggle.
> To show a counterexample to the EMH you would need to exhibit someone who can consistently beat the market at odds better than chance under proper controlled conditions.

See perhaps Renaissance's Medallion Fund:

> The Medallion fund is considered to be one of the most successful hedge funds ever. It has averaged a 71.8% annual return, before fees, from 1994 through mid-2014.[32]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_Technologies#Medal...

People speculate that while mathematically half of trades must win and the other must lose (for each side of a buy-sell), that Medallion may perhaps 'win' something like 52% of trades, but their volume is so high that the (e.g.) 2% gives them their profit just like The House only needs a slight edge when it comes to casinos.
It's not really. Police lie constantly, especially when it would implicate them. Their statements carry zero information except where they provide positive publicly verifiable evidence. Unsettling and sad, but its the truth.
Does information or performance asymmetry disprove the theory?

> That can't be done with a blur. In a blur, pixels are merged or averaged together and information is lost.

I'd be careful with that assumption. The only thing that really loses information is the discretization back into 0-255 range, and that naturally loses very little information.

If you consider the pixels as a large vector of values, you're effectively multiplying it by a matrix (plus discretization afterwards). If that matrix has (near) full rank, you can restore (close to) all the information.

Consider an grayscale image with two pixels a = 10, b = 20. I apply a blur that transfers 10% of each pixel to the other one. I end up with 11, 19. I'm left with the information 0.9 a + 0.1 b = 11, 0.1 a + 0.9 b = 19. Clearly this system can be solved uniquely. Or equivalently, the blur matrix (and I don't mean the kernel but the full blur operation matrix) is [[ 0.9 0.1 ] [ 0.1 0.9]], which has full rank and is thus invertible.

You'd be surprised at the amount of image detail that can be recovered by filtering when the original distortion function is known. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deconvolution and the lower half of that page's "See also" links section.

I've written dozens of Go programs which use only the standard library - including very large ones. However, there are two primary areas where it is deficient (necessitating pulling additional packages) to my mind:

- Logging - a lack of ability to do structured logging is the main downside here.

- The `syscall` replacements - almost inevitably for larger projects it's necessary to pull in the x/sys/unix or x/sys/windows since package `syscall` was frozen.

The lack of "wrapped" errors also used to be an issue, but this has mostly been resolved with the new "%w" formatting directive to `fmt.Errorf`.
Since the Antifa will be designated as a terrorist organization[0], I don't suggest you guys to trust github pages, google photos, drive, etc. Tomorrow there may be a subpoena for the IP addresses who use this tool.

Personal income in the US shot up a record 10.5% in April
Its because Nintendo isnt really a hardware company - they're a software company. Game console hardware is generally sold close to at cost (sometimes even at a loss), and profit is made by charging royalties to game developers.

The primary reason to lock down consoles is to prevent piracy, but also to lock in those royalties. If the console was open, presumably most 3rd parties would take advantage of that to reduce costs.
Markets are not rational, they exhibit crowd psychology and as such are more primitive and irrational than individual behavior. Quite a few professional traders, hedge funds and even retail traders consistently outperform the indexes. They are able to do this because they have recognized the fallacy of EMH and are able to exploit the market's irrationality.
Two points about Buffett:

* over the last few years (15?), he's actually trailed the S&P 500 (IIRC)

* 2013 paper "Buffett's Alpha"

> Berkshire Hathaway has realized a Sharpe ratio of 0.76, higher than any other stock or mutual fund with a history of more than 30 years, and Berkshire has a significant alpha to traditional risk factors. However, we find that the alpha becomes insignificant when controlling for exposures to Betting-Against-Beta and Quality-Minus-Junk factors. Further, we estimate that Buffett's leverage is about 1.6-to-1 on average. Buffett's returns appear to be neither luck nor magic, but, rather, reward for the use of leverage combined with a focus on cheap, safe, quality stocks. Decomposing Berkshires' portfolio into ownership in publicly traded stocks versus wholly-owned private companies, we find that the former performs the best, suggesting that Buffett's returns are more due to stock selection than to his effect on management. These results have broad implications for market efficiency and the implementability of academic factors.

That’s an interesting idea, actually. A keyboard that could visually identify state might be useful for education: say a typing or Vim tutor. It’d be kind of nifty if a key started flashing so that you could identify its location (for learning a layout), or had a little icon suggesting “insert” or whatever command it triggers. T’would be an expensive teaching tool, though.
AAARRHHH! A friend has been telling me about her dad, he was full of life and when he came up to my cabin he was a whirlwind of activity.

But after they sold the house (he loved gardening) and moved into a condo where there is little to do she can see him going downhill month by month. Before he had a purpose in his life (gardening and house maintenance), now he just has the sit around or go on bike trips. It is a shame.
Came here hoping to find an answer to this. It looked like it was bothering him quite a bit

I admit the protest in Hong Kong was largely peaceful, but it's hard to deny that a fringe of protestors were looting and resorting to violence as well. There is no key difference between law enforcement by police in HK and the US.
Police work:

* Pays really well

* Requires you to solve many complex ambiguous challenges

* Requires careful nuanced interpretation of situation

* Requires a high EQ to deal with the entire spectrum of citizens, de-escalate situations, and resolve disputes

* Is civic service adding additional social-proof incentive

And we haven't even gotten to actual detective work and the complexity of solving crimes.

On paper, all of this should be CATNIP for a wide variety of high-IQ/EQ individuals to join, and raise the bar on the quality of the force. Yes, there is obviously a danger/risk element, and physical requirements, both which would lose some viable applicants. But by and large it SHOULD be a job that attracts interest from highly intelligent members of our society.

It doesn't because of the system problems, because of the rotten nature of the system to its core. Because of the meathead and the existing low-IQ population dominating the forces.

It can be fixed, but it's probably a generational project.
I think the meaning of OP was they are not paying explicitly, and in that don’t have much contractual entitlement to receive support.

“Paying in data” is a euphemism that we are used for the positive externality we provide when we allow being surveilled on our usage of their system. This is not an explicit transaction, and buried in information asymmetries, corp-speak, abstract terms-of-service banners and whatnot.
> Can you acknowledge that solving technical problems for decades is just as horrifying to me? And that watching TV and doing nothing is extremely satisfying to me?

Of course, I'm completely happy to acknowledge that!

I know some programmers who were pretty hot, but one day they had enough and never wanted to go back into it. Good for them, hopefully they found something else they enjoyed.

What I was addressing before was:

You seemed to express skepticism that someone else finds programming something they would actually prefer to do, over retiring from the field, unless they are institutionalised or imprisoned, like some kind of sick creature.

So I added myself to the data, along with mathematicians, physicists etc. to support an argument some may relate to, to say it's not that unusual for people to actually love programming or other intellectual activities like that.

I should have included artists and writers. The motivation is a lot like it is for them: It feels innate, like an instinct, it just makes you miserable if you don't pursue it.

I assure you, if you could see the messy diversity in my life, you would not think of me as institutionalised, or particularly structured :-)
