Pretty good summary - apparently humans are really bad at judging what constitutes good lighting.

I also found the interviewee’s metaphor about why you can’t just swap the bulbs without replacing the housing as well to be particularly enlightening (it’s like swapping your glasses with your neighbors - doesn’t matter which frames look cool or that hers are glass when yours are plastic - the problem is that she is nearsighted and you are farsighted so her glasses are shaped differently for her eye and will never be able to serve their fundamental purpose for you: allowing you to see clearly).
>"The difference is in the electronics that control it. What's happened in the recent past is that there's now sufficient processing bandwidth at a low price that can tolerate top of engine conditions, so you can actually put real time control on top of these motors."

is something a non EE person would say about another branch of science he is totally unfamiliar with. We had 40GB consumer Hard drives 20 years ago. 20GB per platter, 7200 RPM. Now think for a second what precision of timing you need in a hard drive versus mechanical engine. We are talking ~50 nm/bit, ~250 nm/track, ~100K TPI, >500Mbit internal transfer.
The level of precision required to control engine valves more accurately than mechanical means (cams) was achieved in consumer off the shelf ~$200 hard drive controllers around 1995.

Sometimes I do. If I don't, it's probably because I just don't have the time or energy to write a well-reasoned counter-argument at the moment. Or maybe because I don't know enough, and don't feel like doing the research to support what I think. Getting sucked into internet arguments at work or while working on my own projects is just terrible for productivity and focus.

Looking at statistics the murder rate was 170 a year between 1948-1989 under the South Africa govt you helped bring down. Since 1994 that number is 24,206. The brutal “necklacing” method of execution itself was pioneered by Mandelas ANC.

You may fault the 'racist' Brits, but they put an end to Shaka Zulus 500 mile genocide perimeter and they attempted to civilise many peoples whose languages lacked basic concepts such as time, future & present. It's telling that you use Trotskys perversion of language to slander them.

Aided by infiltrators and agitators such as yourself, what came after didn't seem to value the virtues of honesty, tolerance and friendship between peoples the Brits were taught. Chinese culture regard higher those who use dishonesty to gain advantage.

I will conceed though, it really was a great strategy the commies employed to exacerbate splits in the peoples, weaponise race then arm the pressure groups. Not only did it ensure governance became untenable, it also resulted in mass genocide including Mau Mau, Zanzibar and Ugandan genocides and the loss of any hope of the conservation of the majestic African fauna [1].

China now spoils and pillages Africa on a scale Rhodes would never have dreamt of. Although civilisation lost I guess for them, it was worth it.

I agree for the historical reasons, but I don't think it should be left to Puerto Rico if they can't decide. The US should just say we are (state-hooding/evicting) you, unless you decide one way or the other. Along those same lines, I also think DC should gain representation in congress in some manner, either by largely becoming part of VA, or by becoming a 51st state(DC has more people than Wyoming or Vermont, and about as much as Alaska).
Really? So CBS News apparently didn't get paid by CIA when they expose Abu Ghraib scandal [0], and NYT must have forgotten about that as well when they partnered with the Guardian to publish Edward Snowden's leak [1]. Those are two of the biggest reveals of the last two decades.

Talking about Snowden, I have always wondered why there's never been a Chinese whistleblower. Nobody working in Chinese intelligence has the courage or conscience, or they have no way to let the world know?

Some design approaches to enforcing a business rule requiring no duplicates
TLDR: diet with a high ratio of BCAA:non-BCAA leads to obesity and reduced lifespan in mice. This effect can be reversed with caloric restriction.

Interesting, given BCAA supplementation is fairly common in high-performing athletes. I suppose the usual caveats apply though - humans aren't mice, the metabolism of high-performing athletes isn't the same as sedentary office workers, and performance isn't necessarily consistent with longevity.
Additionally, it is easily to screw up big with mouse accidents, whether on explorer or dialog boxes. It's so easy to grab the filename of something else while saving, even when most of the time, that is not what you want to do. And I've also experienced accidentally moving files and folders just because of a slip of the mouse.

While, not on Windows alone, and I doubt this will change, I also think that close and maximize buttons on the corner of windows are too close that I had accidentally closed web browser windows many times. Of course we can just use shortcut keys, but I don't think that fixes root of the problem, and I am also now immunized on how window border buttons look that it might look aesthetically unpleasing if we depart from how it is now.

Many other software also suffer from this design quirks where buttons with very opposing outcomes are somewhat too close to each other, that you need to slow down and be careful.
What evidence do you have that suggests that these reasonable changes will lead to further unreasonable changes?

Right, so there is land ownership. One group of people (comune members) keep another group of people(non-comune members) off of their land by essentially a threat of violence. This seems not at all different from the system practiced in, say, the US.

The fact that there even needs to be such a distinction is itself a problem. They're both conversations, except with some slight differences? That's just asking for confusion.

From a cynical perspective, this is a market opportunity for VPN services. As were Snowdon's leaks, which hugely expanded the VPN service industry.

And indeed, using VPN services (let alone nested VPN chains and Tor) largely obviates risks from these bills. Without cooperation from the VPN service, gathering sufficient information for a warrant is problematic.

But I wonder. Might the US regulate using VPN services, as authoritarian regimes already do?

What Is the Smart Blood Sugar?
What is the Smart Blood Sugar?

Smart Blood Sugar is an incredible framework intended to help fix your glucose issues 100% normally. At the point when you balance your glucose levels, not exclusively is your danger of Diabetes or Diabetic inconveniences slice deep down, however your vitality is back, and you look and feel better step by step. The most significant thing you can never really turn around or forestall diabetes is to begin rehearsing "glucose load adjusting." This is the procedure of effectively overseeing blood glucose at ideal levels. The explanation it works is that your body's frameworks have been overpowered for quite a long time and they need a break. On the off chance that everything you do is stay away from low-fat, high-carb prepared nourishments, and get a lot of sound fats with each dinner or tidbit, you'll promptly decrease your danger of diabetes… and venture out turning around the condition.

One motivation behind why it keeps on working for you quite a long time after year is that you don't need to deny yourself, you won't need to throw out your bread, pasta, or different carbs in light of the fact that this isn't a carb end plan. You won't get eager. What's more, the best part is that you won't put any awful synthetic compounds into your body, since this arrangement is 100% regular. What's more, when you keep read this introduction till the end, you likewise get the 60 second stunt to quickly bring down glucose. It's only a strong science this technique has been demonstrated to bring down blood glucose for as long as 24 hours subsequent to eating.

COM in Plain C (2006)
There’s not any particular way I can respond to this, because there really isn’t any substance except to attempt to link me to something you find distasteful/annoying. I use both languages professionally on a daily basis and it is on that basis that I make my claim.

Here’s one way I could respond. There are numerous things in Python that I find more difficult than in Rust. For instance, I think async/.await in Rust is generally easier than asyncio is in Python, and in the former case the compiler is quite good at detecting various concurrency bugs whereas you’re entirely on your own in Python.

It’s far easier to write multicore programs in Rust than Python thanks to the lack of a global interpreter lock.

Python makes extensive use of runtime exceptions for basic error handling, which I find very exhausting to reason about and account for during development; tools like mypy are also unable to help there at all, and I must rely on the questionable quality of documentation or just scavenging through code.

Pythonic things like None-equivalent values often make it impractical to use Optional values as return types in idiomatic code, thus pressuring you to use more exceptions in places where one would just use Option or Result in Rust.

Python has poor support at best for sum types, which I tend to use extensively for almost every problem space.

Python does not support pattern matching, though some support for this has been proposed for a future version of the language.

Handling dependencies generally is much easier in Rust as well thanks to cargo.

Perhaps you think these are all just the concerns of “FP nerds,” but for me these differences often mean I can write correct, high quality backend services in Rust faster than I can in Python — and the result is often 10x-100x faster with no optimization work whatsoever. That seems worth the relatively small amount of time I spend worrying about lifetimes or ownership or the fact that I use map/filter/iterators instead of list or dictionary comprehensions.
Table saws are probably the most dangerous power tool in the wood shop. Kick back is more likely than inadvertently sticking a finger in the blade. In fact most amputations are from kick back pulling fingers into the blade. Saw stop is amazing tech. Just be sure to use a splitter or riving knife
> I am struggling to think of a circumstance in which something would be easier to write in Rust than in Python, factoring out "performance" --- just comparing the languages themselves.

Most Python backend projects I've worked on would have been better off written in Rust (had it existed) the same way most of the Javascript projects I've worked on would have been better off written in Typescript.

Maybe it's just the projects I've worked on (or their size) but maintenance and refactoring to deal with growth of or changes in business requirements were by far more time consuming than actually writing code. The amount of time lost on onboarding and writing trivial tests that could have been handled by the Rust compiler dwarfs true R&D time, let alone time spent debugging bugs that could have been prevented by encoding business logic into the type system.

At my current job I often still pull out Python to prototype logic or Typescript to spin up a quick and dirty intranet app but for the stuff that needs to last, just work, or be maintained into the future, I often find myself yearning to use Rust. The last obstacles are organization talent pool and Rust's ecosystem.

As far as I can tell this is completely false and none of the eyewitnesses have corroborated that account. The famous photo of "Tank Man" provides evidence of a case where this didn't happen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man

The main wikipedia article on Tianenmen square discusses other estimates of the number of deaths (all others being much lower):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests

There are a number of people involved in the protests who have left China and provided accounts. At least one person wrote a book, although there is no English translation as far as I know.

The British government has itself killed quite a lot of civilians and is hardly a reliable source considering their history with China.

This post taught me about two GitHub Actions features I've been wanting and didn't know existed:

1. You can schedule workflows. This is super useful for running dependency vulnerability scanners on repos that don't see active development.

2. You can manually trigger workflows. This is perfect for one repo I have where I manually build releases. The branching model doesn't lend itself well to a PR release action, and the need for inputs complicates things further. But now I can move the release infrastructure off of my laptop and into GitHub Actions.
Thank you for bringing up Kent State. That event is taught in history classes all over the country as an example of something we did wrong, and desperately want to never repeat.

Contrast this with Tiananmen Square: Beijing does everything it can to prevent its citizens knowing about it, and is all to happy to cultivate a reputation that they would gladly do it again today.

Really good example. Thank you.

This is not reddit for you to start attacking me. Argue on the logic.

> My comment was irrespective of party

No it wasn't. you claimed India to be superior because we have RTI while totally ignoring that Modi dismanteled RTI.

> your reply doesn't even answer my question

No, it destroys your argument because you intentionally ignored that Modi govt dismanteled RTI and still claim Russia is inferior to India because we have an RTI. NO we do not have a functioning RTI. the current is only on paper.

> wild predictions

I gave documented proof, unlike you, who started attacking me because you don't have a leg to stand on.

proof again: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/ov...

how the heck is India a better country than Russia?

India had RTI before Modi came to power, Modi dismanteled RTI.

so as far as I see, from the RTI perspective, India and Russia are same.
Kevin O'Leary from shark tank has a good deal of online advice about investing and budgeting in his YT channel.
"Don't run a forum" - this seems like bad advice.

"Don't run a forum similar with reddit-style popularity rankings" might be a better description.

Running a forum is part of managing a community, where ideas, advice and other positive things can be exchanged. If you're a startup, a community can help seed your initial userbase and give you valuable feedback to see if you're providing value to a group of people.

That doesn't mean there aren't stressors, but I disagree with the blanket "don't do it, it's scary".

Saying that today's computers are better than those of the 1980s is very weak tea. They weren't good enough then, and they're still not good enough now.

"the complete guide to buying lumber at home depot for simple diy projects"

There is so much more about lumber to know than this. It's a mistake to (only) consider big box stores for lumber.

If you like to learn more about wood, wood grades, milling, drying and working wood, I can wholeheartedly recommend the "wood talk" podcast with Marc Spagnuolo, Matt Cremona and Shannon Rogers, as well as the "lumber industry update" podcast by Shannon Rogers. They all have great YouTube channels too.
Thanks!

Yes, the NUC9 is intriguing but super expensive and limited availability (that I could find). On the other hand, the cost of an eGPU chassis is super high and perhaps offsets most of the cost difference.

But in any case, it sounds like if I'm definitely doing discrete graphics your GPU concerns aren't a problem for a NUC10.

Dude, you said that CAA applies to religious prosecution.

Ahmadiyas are a sect of Islam and they're being prosecuted. Islam is a religion so by default this is religions prosecution.

if what you said is said in good faith (and not as a propagandist), India should include Ahmadiyas and Rohingya under CAA. otherwise either you are wrong or Indian govt's intentions are not what you claim them to be.

Communication used to be provably secure when you could meet with the person you want to communicate with without being afraid of ubiquitous surveillance tracking your every move and hidden listening devices (or just your phones) recording your conversation. Until a few decades ago it was never possible to do surveillance at scale. You had to first identify suspects and then start surveillance.
I think that women can also be very toxic when given the right incentives.

I saw certain MLM groups where women (and exclusively women, since these MLMs didn't cater to men) would say pretty nasty and offensive things to push their agenda and using the same idea of positivity, encouragement and "female empowerment" and any naysayer will get shut down supposedly because they are being negative or not supportive (completely overlooking the fact that they're hawking a scam).

I am not sure whether women need an external trigger for this (such as the MLM in this example) whether as men tend to do it by themselves, or if you simply got lucky and happened to be surrounded by good people, especially in that early era when computers, internet access (for non-work purposes) and social networking was still relatively niche and acted as a filter compared to nowadays where every idiot has access to all those things.
>> I was surprised that most people in there are nice and supportive of each other.

Well in my experience this is only true if you're exactly like them. different color/religion/landscaping views == the toxicity alluded to by the parent.
