Awesome notes. Yes we are using Bootstrap but without SCSS for the sake of simplicity and avoiding any extra configurations that will make reusability even harder, but you can replace the CSS variables with SCSS variables in 5 min and it works.

I am afraid that this looks like a nitpicking. Even if you can't imagine what the original intent might be behind that sentence by the sentence alone, the contents of the bullet points make it clear what information they represent. So even if that sentence is dropped entirely, I wouldn't have had any difficulty understanding what the comment is about, and its useful information content.
Sounds good, just need to let Apple know that paying and repairing the device is bow their responsibility
I've been on month+ hiking trips. I definitely don't think I smell good after 2 weeks in the woods. But hygiene becomes very important to long term success, especially in wet climates. If you know what you're doing, then you won't smell offensive either.
I agree that it's a low price, but disagree one should just raise it because they can. Keeping prices low helps prevent competitors from undercutting, or even competing in the first place, in my opinion. If this service were charging say, 500 per month, they'd likely have a lot of knockoffs enter the space.
To get exactly 33 1/3, wait for 3 minutes and observe that it makes 100 revolutions exactly.
Genuine SL1200s go for a lot of money these days.

but Technics's patents expired a few years ago (2008?) so there are a lot of knockoffs now.

Nearly all TTs are made in one factory on the east coast of China. IIRC the company is called something like Han Pin. (I have a Reloop. I love the auto braking.)

I'd say get a good quality TT aimed at DJs, rather than some "audiophile" TT with a platter "handcrafted by Tibetan monks from organic yak leather", and all the rest.
It's not just a critique of Apple but of both Google/Android and Apple, although Apple is the worse offender here. Why I think 'mobile' isn't an accuse I lined out in the post, because it's quickly becoming the primary general purpose computer of pretty much every person. Apple already sells ten times more phones than laptops per year.
Yeah. I understand the desire for a new fondle-slab. I've personally made a hobby of rebuilding a collection of every computer I've ever owned. There's no need to justify it. They feel good. They look good. Industrial design was a whole different ballgame back when losing a percentage of display area didn't get you whipped by your manager.

It's also extremely overblown. Even if a cat has toxoplasmosis, it's not contagious unless the cat is very sick itself and even then only through its' feces, which I suppose could get on a cat's claws, but for your normal healthy indoor/outdoor cat it's a non-issue.

Or maybe that's just the T. Gondii talking.
The gas being discussed appears to have been remennants from the use of the thrusters on orbit or something. They were very explicit that there was not a leak.

Hanging out a bit longer meant staying inside the capsule longer instead of seeing a doctor sooner to avoid exposing themselves and more of the crew to those fumes. They were at 2.5ppm if I recall the radio chatter correctly.

how is this useful when it comes advertising, and how does it relate to third party cookies? Isn't third party cookies used for cross-site tracking? Apparently advertising networks use it to authenticate users as well?
This is highly dependent on what your work looks like - what if you're a grocery delivery driver?

It's unsafe to assume everyone is exposed to the same amount of this.
As noted by others, instead of the handcuffs of lowest-common-denominator, we do GPU JS with best of class in node, where we get to play with Apache Arrow, RAPIDS, etc. We now shim nodejs to PyData for GPU tech vs doing node-opencl/cuda to get more GPU lib access, but I'd love to add a more direct numba-equiv and serverless layer here as V8 is better in key ways than cpython in many key ways here, and only a few glaring gaps afaict (gotchas in bigint / large memory space / etc still smoothing, TBD for multigpu and networking streaming.)

GPU JS and related frameworks are really 'browser GPU JS', and we find predictability there low enough that we still handroll WebGL 1.0 instead of them. When we shift, I'd hope it'll be for a webgl2+ (opencl2+...), but 10+ years later, I've stopped tracking the politics.
You call it a discount and if any one says anything about it, you say that it is intended to encourage people to evaluate the service.

I tend to avoid The Intercept since the whole Reality Winner thing sensitized me to possible Russian connections. Without knowing what the true relationship is, I have written them off as providing a manipulative propaganda line. Of course, sometimes propaganda is written by the best; I was just reading about Eric Blair's wartime efforts for the BBC, and how he tried to avoid damaging his credibility as an anti-imperialist.

I understand the election irregularities in the Bolivia election are controversial, and I don't take a side on whether that was a pretext to get rid of Morales. My point was only that the act of running in the first place was questionable.

Since they're talking about a B2B service, it's probably more about the predictability of pricing rather than feeling cheated.

Is there a word for such long-lived computers that aren't hobbies? "Retrocomputing" is people goofing around. A person who drives a 1995 Honda is probably not a "retromobility enthusiast". Maybe at some point in our future it won't seem weird to use a 25-year-old computer.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to imagine how a drug deemed too dangerous by Western researchers used at a supposedly sub-clinical dose of 0.1 mg per kg which put 2/3rd's of the test subjects in the ICU could be potentially weaponized by an evil empire like the Russky's. Indeed, 10 mg. could easily fit in a hollow point round .
> Take New York Times. Last I checked, you can sign up online, but to cancel your subscription, you have to call and subject yourself to a slick sales pitch and all sorts of questions. It's inconvenient and borderline immoral.

They asked me why I was cancelling. I said I don't really have time to get enough out of it to justify they cost. The "slick sales pitch" was to offer me a discount. I said I really don't have enough time for even that to be worth it. That was it.

I then made sure to tell him I was only cancelling the paper, not my crossword puzzle subscription, and mentioned that I realized this means that when my crossword subscription renewed (it was out of phase with my newspaper subscription) the price would be doubling because I would not longer get the 50% discount that newspaper subscribers get.

He informed me that this was not the case. Once you get the 50% of deal for the puzzle, you keep it as long as you maintain the puzzle subscription. I'd only lose it if I cancelled the puzzle, and later resubscribed while not having a newspaper subscription. I was pleasantly surprised.
Not in the USA. It's been firmly ruled protected by SCOTUS, with the same caveats tied to it as other speech. In other words, direct call to harm is not protected, saying you hate them or a subset of their characteristics is absolutely protected.
Agreed, but it is worth mentioning.
> some kind of feedback scheme that trims the digital pot automatically

Yeah, PID controllers are around, I think. (proportional-integral-differential.) Quite easy to do on an Arduino if not readily avaialble.

But better to PWM-control the drive transistor directly than adjust a digital pot.
Modern usage of 'parsimony' has diverged significantly from that definition. Check out usages from the Cambridge corpus here:

I encounter it almost exclusively in the context of statistical and machine learning.

Voting by mail has proven exceptionally safe with extensive modern use, and greatly increases the safety of elections and democratic participation. All claims to the contrary are based in partisan politics and have no data to back them up. You are sorely wrong and pushing a purely political agenda.

I also encourage people to stop using shampoo. I stopped over ten years ago and love the results, it's such a nice change I feel strongly enough to encourage others to do the same. Quarantine is a good time to try something different.

Care to elaborate? What are you referring to?
By gerrymandering the market definition you can make any company a monopoly. McDonalds is not a restaurant: it’s a burger parlor. No wait, a fast-food burger parlor. With a clown mascot. All who depend on clown-themed burgers are under their bootheel. Watch out, your startup might be a monopoly too.
Try Korean/Asian markets. I worked with a few Koreans and they thought treats sold in the USA were way too sweet. They had sweet bean curd things that tasted great when I was doing Keto and while it wouldn’t be good to eat every day they were a nice snack sometimes.

Most of the latest consoles make profit from day 1 or after few months. It's not like PS3 anymore.

You can argue this model of extracting value and money in a roundabout way qualifies as predatory and should not exist. EU is already looking into it btw.

Check: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_wrongs_make_a_right

The argument itself is flawed too. It ignores that there are some things you cannot live with. That is your phone, not the console.
I heard about this months ago. I was just wondering today what happened to them before seeing this.

The FTC's guidance specifically allows services to rely on a user's self-reported age. See https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/com..., under the heading "Will the COPPA Rule prevent children from lying about their age to register for general audience sites or online services whose terms of service prohibit their participation?"
I don't disagree with you here. iOS and Android definitely constitute a duopoly worldwide, and Apple's market share in the US may be high enough for anti-trust concerns to apply. The key point is the percentage market share is an important consideration in determining whether a company has a monopoly or not.

I'm only taking exception with claim that "Apple has a monopoly on iOS app stores" based on reasoning that ignores market share, because that reasoning is tautological.

Also, Telegram's complaint was filed in the EU where Apple only has 25% market share and likely would not be considered to have a monopoly.

> Before we think "but users can buy Android too", iOS and Android are not completely fungible operating systems nor the hardware they come with.

Competitors do not need to be 100% identical to be considered alternative products to each other. Xboxes, Playstations, and Nintendos have different hardware and software but they are all competing in the gaming console market.
This seems to be only two points in history and interestingly, at the same time. It's statistically unlikely that a 20 year old will build a trillion dollar company that destroys yours.

Cloudflare aggressively deters bots and Google's bot usually get caught out in this due to their automated behaviour. I have seen cloudflare strangle and limit Google bots activity leading to lower crawl on most sites using cloudflare.

I get where you're coming from, but this is the fundamental problem with network-connected devices. I'm an Apple fan, of sorts, and my whole family is part of the Apple ecosystem, but the company has a nasty habit of strategic obsolescence and doubly so around transitions.
Depending on whether you expect IM to work like physical mail or a phone call, this may be the expected behaviour.

It seems the majority here seem to be expecting the former, although I think of IM as more like the latter: if the recipient is not available, then the message is simply dropped, much like I can't call someone who is not answering the phone.
From my experience across FAANG and small to mid-size startups both...

This is true, but Scala 3 solves this with enums. And with the new optional brace syntax, Scala is starting to look more like OCaml every day. In Scala 3:

enum PaymentMethod
case Cash
case CreditCard(name: String, number: String, expiry: String)

Seq(Cash, CreditCard("Bob", "1111111111111111", "10/21"))

It's nice to see old laptops get a new lease on life this way, but it's hard to deny the compromises that come with such an approach. As nice as the old 12-inch Powerbooks/iBooks, T60s, etc were, they leave a lot to be desired by modern standards.

This brings me to wonder how difficult it would be to develop a notebook that is specifically designed to be a focused offline ultraportable, using the most power efficient and cost effective components available along with an extremely lightweight, nearly nonexistent OS (think classic Mac OS) with some modern affordances and high-end touches (USB-C charging, milled single piece enclosure, etc). The imagined result is a machine that costs less than a decent Chromebook while being more responsive, having dramatically better battery life, and being generally more pleasant to use.
Running this with stock standard Firefox (and its standard tracking protections) and the site works well for me too.

The state of the web today reminds me a lot of the early '00s when popups were everywhere, and the most popular browser didn't block them by default. Browsing news sites with vanilla Chrome today is awful.
That did suddenly make me think.

If spying on you is their business model, why would they build an app to prevent you from being spied?
So the animated wallpaper scene on linux is pretty bizarre. There are some popular methods out there like calling `feh --fill-bg` continuously in a bash loop but it sends your CPU usage to an astronomical 40% which drains the laptop battery pretty quickly. I couldn't find a reasonable animated desktop wallpaper setter, so I wrote a little utility in 150 lines or so in C that I call from .xinitrc to randomly pick a fairly unobtrusive desktop scene when I startx.

Wow. $4mil just like that.
...and "pretty" is highly subjective. I find the current "sea of white/blackspace with almost no affordances" and "hide everything that could possibly be useful" trend rather repugnant --- but perhaps that's because it almost always comes with a lack of usability.
The opening analogy between a product roadmap and a literal map is thought provoking. But I think they're actually very different.

A product roadmap describes this direction and intent for a product that doesn't exist yet, like where you plan to go.

A map, on the other hand, is more of a summary or representation of _past_ knowledge. You create a map as you explore the territory to reflect what you've seen. And sure, you consult a map before setting out too.

I think this distinction is actually critical, because becoming too attached to a product roadmap as if it were a literal roadmap that can guide you to your destination is one of the main flaws of poor product management. The author mentions this a little in saying the product roadmap is a "living document", but I don't think it's emphasized enough. It's not just like a map that gets updated occasionally, instead it's more like this fabricated fantasy road trip plan (one that you have to undergo without an actual map).
Some things he doesn't mention

- Because of the pivoting nature of the playback tonearm, you get a minimum of 2.5 degrees tracking error on the inner grooves as well. This causes some distortion.

- The very best playback cartridges have intrinsic total harmonic distortion figures up around 0.5%, which is second-worst in the audio chain, only exceeded by speakers (typically 1%-3% for good quality speakers).

Mechanically induced distortion is mainly second harmonic, though, and is less grating than odd-harmonic distortion, as you get with electrical clipping and DAC artefacts.
> I don't understand why none pushes for a justice process for taking out hate speech and bad speech.

The term 'justice' implies government. The administering of justice is ostensibly function of government, not private entities like Facebook. The unspoken understanding that perhaps you are missing is that it is taken as given that any 'justice process' created to prevent and/or punish unpopular speech will ultimately be abused and extended to effectively all meaningful speech that the Powers That Be (kings, presidents, whomever) don't approve of. That understanding comes from the experience of history and was the basis for the 1st Amendment of the US constitution.

It is certainly true that in many places on Earth 'wrong' speech is criminal and is prosecuted. In the US the attempt to outlaw speech or prosecute people for their speech is what is considered 'wrong' and 'bad.' Those points in history when these principles were violated are understood to be mistakes and aberrations.

So you don't get very far in the US with ideas of making speech into a matter for law enforcement or courts. With a few narrow exceptions we don't entertain these ideas and we don't reward anyone that tries it, or even suggests it, as you can see from the moderation.

> By bad speech, I mean the ones that a lot of people (e.g. Warren) were yelling at Facebook to ban the accounts/posts.

Senator Warren's views do not have the force of law and no one in the US is required to honor them. Further, Senator Warren's opinions are not universal. Giving Senator Warren the ability to control what expressions Facebook does and does not permit would require something on the order of revolution, probably violent.
