Fountain pen inks are amazingly varied, and combining them with the particular properties of thefountain pen inks are amazingly varied, and combining them with the particular properties of the fountain pens themselves prove quite the rabbit hole of a hobby.

Example of this is below, but feel free to skip.

Just yesterday, I reached for my custom ink replacement for Parker penman Sapphire and was glad I had it handy. I was cleaning out some boxes and rediscovered my esterbrook SJ pen with a manifold fine nib. It has been restored, but I tend to not put modern inks in vintage pens oh, so having that ink sure was handy.

I remember not really liking the pen because it was such a nail to use, but with my current journal being a poetic Earth journal using handmade carbon paper that most fountain pens don't like, this one seems to do much better then any of the rest, and really the only other writing instrument in competition to write on this journal would be a pencil, and hard pencil at that. Silverpoint inkless metal pens are entirely useless, and fountain pens for the most part don't like the uneven paper surface, it's a bit like driving off road in a 4 x 4 sedan, well it can do it, it's not really liking it.

It is just interesting to me how even though I prefer my pilot myu 701 and other Japanese pens, because of the variety of nibs available in fountain pens, I can still find a use for a pen that at the time I didn't think I could use.

Ansible configuration exists in YAML files which look static but are deceptively dynamic: values in these files get parsed as static values, Python expressions, or Jinja2 templates that may themselves contain Jinja2 filters and Python snippets. This mish-mash of conceptual models leads to awkward syntax that requires careful quoting and a constant mental effort to separate each of the three layers (static YAML, Jinja2 interpolation/filtering, and Python evaluation).

Some example sources of discomfort:

- The context-dependent need to quote Jinja2 syntax interpolation ({{ ... }}) in some places but not others, due to conflict with YAML syntax rules.

- Undifferentiated mixing of Python evaluation (eg. list concatenation with +) and Jinja2 filtering/transformtion (eg. `| zip` and `| list`) in a single value.

- Awkward encoding of imperative programming patterns using YAML keys (eg. `loop` and `loop_control` to describe a loop; `when` to describe a conditional).

- Context-specific embedding of Python expressions (eg. raw Python code being passed as a string in the `when` property, but elsewhere being interpolated in Jinja2 interpolation).

- Implicit/magical variable naming conventions (eg. use of loop implies the existence of an `item` variable).

- No obvious scoping rules eg. variables magically available with no obvious source (they are defined in another file, or defined in a prior task).

That's from an example I wrote up over on my dotfiles repo:
https://github.com/wincent/wincent/tree/master/fig#on-ansibl... - I used Ansible happily enough for years there, but concluded that at least on a little toy project like that it was more fun/pleasant/simpler to just embody the imperative, procedural work in an actual programming language. I still use Ansible in other places, to manage remote hosts, but I can't shake off the discomfort I feel about how it uses YAML.

> that straight men need to work harder to impress empowered straight women

That might be true, but sounds rather sexist. If I was a young man today, faced with a large number of such entitled women, I'd probably just bow out completely. Successful relationships require mutuality, not "you need to impress me".
> Finding vegetables, fruits is hard, if not impossible. You don't find it in every supermarket.

I live in the US currently, and can't think of a single supermarket that doesn't have a large fresh fruits and vegetables section, and all of the vegetables you mention are commonly available.

I suspect you were in a big city and going to the equivalent of corner stores (as someone else mentioned, what they call bodegas in NYC at least.

I think you fell into the common traveler's trap of thinking that your lifetime of knowledge of your home country would easily translate to a different country. When you don't know what's available or what to look for, it can indeed be difficult to find things.

You know, in my decade of using a fountain pen, I have never had a fountain pen just leak.

I have also stored them up right and so forth, I have never had a fountain pen just catastrophically leak somewhere while I was writing with it. I have made them burp before, or dropped them or waved them when I was brand new to them, but I've never had an otherwise normal riding session spoiled by ink going everywhere.

Maybe I am just lucky in what fountain pens I use? Or just lucky in general?

The large perception of fountain pens, vintage or modern, around the internet seems to be that they are like small grenades that will any moment to go off and leave you drowning in ink, and I just haven't seen that.

> Much more important is reach and standover height, since those can’t easily be changed.

I try, buy and build quite a lot of bikes (6 this year). Reach has never been very helpful for me. Seat tube angles differ quite a lot and the position of the bottom bracket on the x axis does not affect me that much. Effective top tube and stack is what I look for.

Being a long legged person, standover has never been an issue. I can straddle most any bike. Stack is important because that gives me a hint if I can get the saddle and handlebars on the same height without crazy stem solutions. I ride bikes from the horizontal top tube era that favor the "fistful of seatpost" rule, so C-T seat tube length is also very important to me (for purely aesthetic reasons.)

It has a built in search, I dont know how good it is tough.

I edit it in my IDE. It's always in my "recent project tab" and I have the IDE open anytime I use or want to edit the notes anyway.

It doesn't need a special note-app, which makes it even easier to use it anywhere. docsify has a "edit on github"-addon, which would make it easy to even edit it in the browser.

Oracle has a banking platform that they mostly only succeed in selling to smaller banks. I don't know if that would count as "challenger" though.
Now that is old school! :D Using a fountan pen is definitively not continued where I live in Norway. The elementary school curriculum used to contain "løkkeskrift" up until the 70's, which is loosly translated to "curly writing," or fine writing. However most schools switched to using pencils during the 50's and 60's, so only older people in Norway remember having to learn "løkkeskrift" using a fountain pen. Lately there has sadly even been discussions on removing some of the pencil writing exercises entirely to the benefit of learning to type instead. However some studies claim that pupils retain more information, and hence learn more, when they use a pencil or pen to take notes, rather than a keyboard.

There are still some good reasons to learn to write with a proper pen. The nib gives quite a unique stroke, seeing as it's flexible, which is also why you see those varying strokes on good comics, such as those drawn by Albert Uderzo, or Franquin's hillarious Gaston Lagaffe, and not to mention his dark humour series, Idées Noires.

Personally I've always been drawn to fine writing, and I started learning calligraphy quite early, inspired by the wonderful written illustrations from Tolkien's world. I was overjoyed when I found a whole box of old nibs in a bankrupt store one day. Some of them dated back to as far as the 1800's, though most were from the 40's. So I got as many as I could afford, and that's when I started writing mostly using "dipping pens" for my fine writing. On a trip to London I also found "the best calligraphy store in the world," L. Cornelissen & Son, well in my personal opinion anyway lol. So if you're into that stuff, and nearby London, this is a wonderful place to stop by.
Almost every multinational companies have some level of presence in China, even Google has offices there. If we apply your logic, China should be allowed to order search and seizure warrants to those companies for any user information that might related to their national security. Of course, this is absolutely non-sense.

I have no respect for Fox News, but this is pretty much a non-story. They ran an image of two photos from the unrest in Seattle mashed up together alongside stories of the unrest in Seattle. It wasn’t like it was from Gaza or Escape from New York or something. And in TV news terms it was probably run as a graphic and not a photo of the action on the ground. It’s also worth noting that the resulting photo is really no more shocking or scandalous than the source photos.
I thought this was going to be about a math textbook (the ideas, not the notation) that relied on previous proficiency with code.

I have the contrary impression. Fortran and matlab/octave are great for numeric math. Julia is also very good. The python math stuff (either torch or numpy) is always an unreadable mess, you are always fighting against the language. The matrix product and exponentiation operators look like a bad joke. I do not understand how people can take this stuff seriously.

Yes it's hard so it's up to the consumer because we also have agency - to stop and say no to businesses like that.

It's the CCP playbook. To entice western companies with its lucrative market and at the same time continue its totalitarian regime and oppression. It becomes harder and harder for these companies to "do the right thing" as its influence and market grows. It'll continue to feed the "China way" as simply an alternative to the democracy.

At some point, it becomes so big that it's impossible to reverse course.

The reality is that when other companies see that Zoom can get by, it'd be harder for them say no because looking the other way when the bully is around becomes the norm.
> They can both be criticized independently.

But not inside China. And therein lies the great difference.
In my experience knowing and caring about bike geometry to this level of detail is definitely for the advanced enthusiast. Just knowing it doesn't mean you can apply it either.

Your argument falls flat as soon as Americans start protesting the innocent lives lost in America's illegal wars - at this point, American censorship and attacks on independent thought match those of the PRC, even exceeding their capabilities in some cases (Assange, etc.)

I don't see why I'd need Apple to tell my personal trainer I have a herniated disk. I can tell them myself, and I'm looking to be less locked into the Apple ecosystem, not more.

If that's what they're doing (which I bet it's not), I'd consider it as a good sign that Apple has run out of good ideas.
Exactly. Good maths does not use extensive “notation” per se, only when it is really necessary. Any good treatise has many more paragraphs of carefully written text than of equations: these are only used when they are truly required.
One point regarding whether or not this is unphysical is that in physical systems, conceptually we work in finite systems and at the only very end of our calculations we take the infinite limit while holding physically observable quantities fixed. This is the essence of the thermodynamic limit.

In these paradoxes, infinities are present from the outset and I think it's this that leads to the unphysical outcome. They're not wrong. They are mathematical paradoxes. But it's not a problem they are unphysical (from a physics point of view) because physics uses mechanisms, like the thermodynamic limit, to handle infinite limits sensitively. Then the paradox goes away.

For instance, the 'physics' version of the Hilbert hotel problem would say there are two hotels, one with N rooms and the other with M rooms. Then do all the renumbering you like, the paradoxical situation of filling both hotels and then putting all guests from both hotels into one of them is no longer possible. Finally, if you want to think about hotels with an infinite number of rooms take N and M to inifinity keeping N/M fixed

Edit: add physicified version of Hilbert hotel problem
isn't this a bad idea
Imagine for a second, that you're filling out a visa application and you've stopped working for the army and started working another research job. Now, if you're still being paid, on retainer you could say that you're still working there or not, it could be either way depending on what definition you use. He probably just forgot what he wrote on his visa. How was he supposed to remember every last detail of a visa application from 4 years earlier?

Imagine if they ask you, the next time you go abroad about every last detail on your visa application, do you think you could remember every last date of where/when you were employed?

who knows, maybe his wife filled out the application for him, or his secretary.

jailing people for a simple visa application mistake is a big mistake. Bascially, they're assuming he's a spy. whatever happened to "innocent till proven guilty"?

> Of course mathematics is hard.

That wasn't what was said. What was said was "A great deal of practical mathematics is not hard.".

The notation "e^(i x pi)"is a crime in 2 languages against countless students. Why E? No good reason. Why pi? Also no good reason. i? When they named it they didn't even know if it was a real thing. They have many faces, and the notation manages to avoid representing a single one of them. Even "self_diff(rotate*half_turn)" would be an improvement; at least some of the meanings are captured.

Naming things is hard, but this is literally 1-letter-naming applied to the 3 most common and important functions humanity has ever defined. The only excuse for it was up until ~2,000AD the mathematicians were working by hand.

Well isn't it just a matter of what penalties China can enforce on the presence there if they refuse to comply? If the majority of their tech team is there it gets hard to argue that they have no access. Maybe they just threatened someone with the access and with not enough time to speak to legal?
"But, with SSDs, this changes entirely: new textures can be paged in within just a couple frames. Now, that paging can happen more on-demand."
Erm, texture loading from RAM to the GPU memory already is critiqued in games, since players can see the slowdown when it happens.

Either this is going to be using the system RAM as a cache for the SSD data, (and then it will have the same problem, plus the developers will have to make sure that scenes can stay completely in the system RAM they have available, so this will be the limitation, not the size of the SSD), or they are getting the GPU to pull data directly from the SSD, and SSDs are very slow compared to RAM.
The delta is smaller outside the US though.

I mean it is insane to me on a rational level that an embedded engineer/programmer working for a company designing avionics software/train control software in the UK/France or Germany earns less (by half) what someone in SV does working for some start-ups.

I get the whole "they are paid what the market determines they are worth thing" but intuitively I find it weird.

If I could do my life over again I'd have gone to Uni and done electronics and then moved into that kind of field, not for the money - it's about the same but because it is interesting and you get to point at a train or plane and say "it's safer because I did my job".
I got a rapid lesson in how changing the length of the seat stay to slacken the head tube angle leads to a reduced bottom bracket height.

A good example of how all of these variables influence each other and how bike fit and geometry is always a balancing act.

At least in Germany, it's okay in some states, essentially non-existant in others. I've reported some serious breaches, and about half of the responses were within 5 days, the other half haven't happened yet, after > 12 months. Reminding them just lead to getting an official case number, so they didn't forget, they just can't/won't enforce.
