>Seems like this could all be resolved if you just called it "Champagne-style". Makes it clear that you're trying to reproduce the same qualities and also that it's not an official expert of the region.

Well some cultures have different words specifically for that.

>Even better, stop referring to it exclusively by the location, as if Champagne, France is not capable of producing other wines.

I don't understand this part, because I see no where implicit that Champagne doesn't have the capacity of producing other wines, just by calling Champagne to Champagne.

For example, where I'm from - Portugal - we make the distinction between Champagne and "sparkling wine" (I couldn't find a better translation, the word is Espumante) - even if the outcome is an attempt to make it similar to Champagne, it's not champagne. It's two different words that define different things.

You go to a restaurant you ask for Champagne, you get Champagne. You ask for Sparkling Wine, you get Sparkling Whine.

Because when you buy Champagne you want wine with particular properties that are particular from the region. If you don't like Champagne, you don't want wine with those qualities and you ask for something else that is not Champagne, but yet can still be a white wine with foam.

Plus you talk about this like this is a gimmick.

It's not something "new", it's been like this for centuries, it's in our dictionary. Not mandated by law, or trademarks, - it wasn't a marketer that woke up one day and decided to make that "growth hack" - it's cultural.

To us it's like calling two distinct fishes the same name just because they are blueish and have spots.

Same for example, to Porto. Porto Wine is done Porto region, has a particular taste. You have other liquors, but Porto is Porto.

I think it would be awesome to have a list of things you can do with old devices.

I have a smattering of old gear around the house. Some being used for their original purposes, and some doing things they weren't designed for.

My wife has an old iPhone 5 plugged into an AM transmitter she found at Goodwill for a whole-house radio station. When she wants to hear her music, she just clicks on the cheap-as-chips radio in the room where she is.

My wife has a four-foot-tall early 1950's console radio, made in East Germany, that she uses as both an amplifier and a stand for her state-of-the-art 2019 record player.

I have a 2002 iLamp running OSX Leopard that I use as an iTunes media server. The current AppleTV interfaces with it flawlessly.

I have a 2006 U2 edition iPod that I use occasionally to move files between computers. I found it at the bottom of an elevator shaft in 2010.

I have a TRS-80 Model 100 that I occasionally use to write stories on. Every six months or so I transfer the documents to my main computer via null modem as a backup.

The computer I use every day is a 2011 MacBook Air. (Though I plan to get one of the new ARM MacBooks as soon as they're available.)

I use my iPod shuffles (1st and 4th generation) almost every week. I think they're the ultimate music playback machines, thought the 1st generation ones don't like modern headphone plugs.

When I drove for Uber, I strapped a couple of $5 Goodwill Nooks to the headrests of my car. I put a series messages on the screensavers to display to my passengers. Things like the week's weather forecast, amenity information, and a QR code they could scan to take them to a web site with local event information.

This could be coupled with a search engine that indexes the pages which such a browser has been tested to display correctly.

So you start off with a small index that includes Richard Stallman's web site and a few thousand others, then add many more as things like flexbox or whatever get added.

That feeds in nicely to the development process. The implementation of each new feature has the potential to open up thousands more sites to the index. In fact you could list bounties not in dollars but in the number of new sites a given feature can bring to the index.

That way users look at the search engine to first discover the sites that work in the browser. You could go retro like the hand-crafted directory Yahoo used to use, or automate the process. Either way, it's a big improvement in UX. Compare: "While the supported sites do load fast and look great, their search doesn't cover enough sites for my browsing needs." To: "Wouldn't even load Reddit this thing looks hopelessly broken."

I bet that it wouldn't take too much effort to get such a project to a place where you get a sizable index with the core feature being the lack of inclusion of sites with dark patterns. Like, an hour spent in this browser is filled with 80% critical reading whereas you'd just be infinitely scrolling through memes 80% of the time in Chrome...
A week or two, for about two hours a day. Making changes out of nowhere is something I am used to since I was a kid, so it might have been easier for me.

Darktable has a better rendering engine, but only pixel peepers will notice, and the fact it is open source only matters to a limited amount of people, myself included, but might not matter to you.

Did you have any trouble with a longer fast on your first attempt? I do intermittent fasting and have gotten to 24 bracketed by evening meals. I can’t seem to fall asleep when I am hungry but find it very easy to skip breakfast and lunch. It’s true for me that after like 12 hours the hunger goes away and it becomes easy to go past the 16 hours that’s prescribed for IF. But the problem is that I start to get jittery from the adrenaline which is what ultimately gets me to eat in the evening even if I’ve done for 20 hours leading into that and don’t actually feel hungry.

Any tips from others who have the same issue around hunger impeding sleep would be appreciated.

If you can afford it rent a tiny office and go there everyday, sub-leases galore right now being permitted by cities. I also can't effectively work at home mainly because I hated being there all day and night. My mini office works out to $150/mth after I write off most off the lease and is 6 blocks from my home so I walk there everyday.

Someone will make comparisons to the worst countries in the world to rationalize why America is number 1 in a race nobody even entered into. Instead of comparing it to 21st century developed nations. Rinse, repeat.

Follow by:

Could those developed countries have made those advances without the US subsidizing and helping de-risk the cost of their defense? Shrug

Does it makes sense for the US to allocate budget towards said defense while its domestic infrastructure flails? Shrug

Does the structure of the US contribute to this separation of foreign policy and domestic policy? With the broke states responsible for and failing at handling their own affairs, with the well funded Federal Government maintaining consensus by not getting into state affairs, forcing it to use its budget abroad on pet projects? Shrug

Does an actual budget really matter when the world has an infinite demand for dollars meaning that the US really could fund any domestic project and its external hegemony? Shrug

Are those developed countries' taxes really that high in comparison to what everyone in the US pays for anyway? Which country specifically? In many cases where high populations of Americans actually live, no it is very equivalent and Americans get the short end of the stick. Shrug.
That nicely illustrates the importance of the context of quotes: At that time the concept of limited liability didn't yet exist like today. The corporation itself wasn't the same as a modern corporation, yet had the same name.
For me a Nokia N900 made the best portable SSH terminal. I have two.

Excellent slide-out keyboard, great for typing fast and accurately with thumbs.

Good screen for small fonts. Touch sensitive but also pen input, never had any difficulty selecting small text in SSH for copy-and-paste.

I used to do most of my email over SSH and Mutt, using the N900 as terminal.
Mozilla employs (or employed) 2 "Rust devs". If that.

steve could chime in to be more precise. But I'd say Rust is a merit of the people involved much more than Mozilla.

If anything Mozilla just fired servo folks who contributed to Rust so it's not like they even pretend to support it.

I hope Rust gets a foundation and I hope that Mozilla transfers the "Rust" trademark to them.
This is a good idea.

Couple that with the idea I've been toying with for a while about a new html standard (html6?, core HTML?) that only accepts loading JS from a common repository of utility code (think useful stuff like autocomplete, partial page reload etc) and it could improve the web a lot if we got sites to use it.
I’ll grant that when I read the article, I missed the part where he admitted to intentionally ignoring the invite. If they tossed him for what they considered a values mismatch, that’s obviously a little different. Still, I feel like a “Listen bub!” voice conversation could have helped here, versus relying on email - if only in delivering the bad news better, if not actually hearing out the apology and talking over potential next steps. And I give him points for admitting to that mistake - that strikes me as far more in line with their values than lying and saying his mother was sick (which he could have trivially done).

As for asynchronicity, I totally get that something will be lost. The question is whether enough will be lost as to render the participant totally unable to learn those values over, say, the next few days and catch up. But something might be gained as well - it’s possible that these synchronous moments are an actual bottleneck. Experimenting with async could result in them handling more students with less staff.

"perhaps you’ll upset your kids if you throw away the cookies" is given as an example of the situation being outside your control.

The premise of the article is that the human brain's 7+/-2 short-term memory rule should govern how software is designed.

That's the silliest thing I've read in a long time.

Unlike a sequence of random numerals, software is composed of meaningful components and roles -- modules, processes, screens, functions -- each with a well-defined and distinct job to do. Forcing these into a synthetic hierarchy with a fan-out no greater than 7+/-2 makes sense only if the code reader is trying to memorize each layer as if they were no more than random symbols -- meaningless and without context.

That's the least sensible strategy for software design I can imagine. If easy memorization is the objective of S/W design (which is debatable at best) then it's far better to shape the components into names with implied relations that are already familiar - like design patterns, or better yet, the actors in a compelling novel. Then the natural interplay of opponents and allies and obstacles and desires will make for a much more coherent and memorable narrative that will be far more intuitive than 7+/-2 randomly chosen labels ever could be.

She's called the Oracle, and I really did not give enough credit to The Matrix films, and yes, I mean the 2nd and 3rd. The proof of a successful human-directing AI is that the humans don't know they're being directed, and the illusion of choice is maintained. The Oracle sees our definable, ergodic behavior, yet accounts for the fact that the human AI, I am that I am, will search out to break this end like a slime mold growing towards a nutrient tab in a petri dish, and it will do so in a manner that will create novelty. The outcome would absolutely look like classical Marxist communism: a human corpus, successful, efficient, lacking most basic scarcity, capable of great cooperation, devoid of capital-leveraging looters & moochers and their inevitable Abel-Cain loop creation, distinctly lacking an authoritarian leader, traceable. This AI sounds like a better AI than the current human hierarchy AI that fails in seeming perpetuity at creating long-term stability. Any attempt at co-opting this AI would make it less efficient than a competing government's AI, thus all would be incentivized to follow or eventually fade, not through destruction, but through entropy; I think the bible called it becoming dust or a pillar of salt or some-such, when civilizations did that.

> but just when they get into legal trouble, they are suddenly NOT a person, but a vague multi-layered blob, impossible to prosecute.

This is exactly why corporations are legally people. We can prosecute the whole blob instead of trying to assign blame to individuals.

To see how this works, take a look at People v Rochester Ry. Light co (NY 1909)[1]. A corporation killed someone through negligence, but nobody was ever punished because a corporation was not considered a legal person and it was impossible to reach into the vague blob and charge individuals.

Thanks for linking the actual study.

The selection bias in studies like these is massive. Including only people who actively planned to use psychedelics is a guaranteed way to bias your results toward people who are already true believers. People who voluntarily chose to seek out psychedelics, despite high legal consequences for doing so, are likely already convinced that the psychedelics will "work" for whatever goal they're trying to achieve. Selecting these people over the internet will only further concentrate the group toward people who enjoy discussing and researching this topic online. In short, they optimized the test group for maximum placebo effect.

It's fascinating to watch how internet comments will quickly tear apart any study of prescription medication that has obvious sampling bias, lacks control groups, and relies on self-reported information gathered from internet surveys except when the study tells people what they want to hear.

I'm all for the resurgence of proper, controlled research into psychedelics for treating mental health issues in conjunction with therapy. Let's get to the bottom of this and draw some scientific conclusions on the matter. However, questionable studies like this do more harm than good for the body of research. It may feel good to see studies that claim positive results, but the more we build the body of research on top of obviously flawed studies like this, the harder it is for serious researchers and lawmakers to take it seriously.
Its not that I lean right but the real bitch is "ENERGY DENSITY" and Geographic specificity of Wind and Solar.

Also a little understanding about the grid, dynamic generation and duck curve convinced me that we need predictable generation.

Solar in American South West and Wind at the foot of Rockies and Southern Plains make general sense, but the usually they are far away from Cities.
