Around 1996-97, there was a Linux-based firewall/router that booted from a single 1.44MB diskette. iirc, it needed a very small amount of
RAM too, something like only 8MB. The diskette could be used with write-protect enabled to prevent accidental (or malicious for that matter) modifications to the diskette contents. I believe it also had an SMTP relay. It was particularly useful for sharing dial-up and DSL connections at a time when commercial solutions would’ve been much more expensive than a stripped down repurposed spare computer with no hard drive. A bit hard to imagine now, but back then it was pretty fantastic to have an Internet connection shared between computers on a home or small business network.

> So if I never loose my money it is worthless! Ha!

Maybe not but, you probably had to earn it in the first place and that is why you know its value.

I think if you were born rich and never had to worry about money in an existential way, then you would not really know the value of it. Not even from observing the pain of others. I think the only way is to really experience it first hand.

Even if a rich person tried to "simulate" it by not allowing themselves to spend more than x amount of money for say a month or something it still would not be the same. At all. Because no matter how bad that month would be, they still know all along that it's not a real threat and that the money is right there waiting for them.

But if you had to go through a lot of real pain, then you know the real value of money. I wonder, however, if with time we would forget still. I dunno, I have never been wealthy yet.
Not to my knowledge. Their official tool is for interior designers I think, and their system is copyrighted. I'm using a custom "color wheel" that's inspired by NCS opponents and CIE. I might release it open source as a web app though. It's actually part of a bigger design system for design systems I'm working on, but I'll see if I can break it off into it's own thing somehow.

There's interesting stuff like Conformal Geometric Algebra and Projective Geometric Algebra.

>The overall Russian economy is so based on the export of natural resources, that the ruling stratum is hardly worried about other industries like the IT sector.

This is a tautology and the reason why many corrupt regimes suffer from the resource curse.
The government blesses a few industries as the cash cow and keeps them under state control to finance the authoritarian regime. Other growing industries are seen to be disrupting the status quo and thereby undermine state control. Authoritarian governments would rather own 90% of a pile of crap than 30% of something valuable. Then those countries fall into poverty because the statesmen are billionaires no matter how they treat their people.

Hyperbole: Imagine a parallel world where Donald Trump had a "dayjob" where he earns enough money to pay for the military of the US on his own and can buy military equipment from other countries. He could easily suppress American citizens without any consequences. Losing votes doesn't matter because the military is on his side. Destroying or preventing civilian infrastructure doesn't impact military funding. One thing is certain. This would not be a world of prosperity.

I wonder how all of these things could be achieved despite the increasingly widespread use of biometric tracking technology being connected to our faces or other aspects of our physiology.

I can see hacking and selective digital profile construction being done to remove traces of one's previous digital presence then replace it with another, and I can see people cleverly forging highly sophisticated fake official identity documents to back up their new names.

All of that sure, but if one's ID is both governmentally and by corporations being increasingly connected to the structure of their face, or their gait, or their eyes or some other feature that a public camera could conceivably read, then how will the near future even allow anyone to make any of these identity jumps (legal or illegal)?

UK registered charities get Office 365 for free. In my experience it’s currently the best choice.

I supported all the technical aspects of a friend’s charity in their early days. Originally set them up on Zoho for cheapness before they were a fully registered charity. Zoho worked but caused plenty of pain for their less computer proficient users (volunteers and trustees). The Zoho UX is very clunky and the team required a lot of support. Migration to Office 365 made everyone very happy because of the familiarity (everyone is used to it from work). The charity requires less support time now and no longer complain about Zoho’s limitations.

What you do not have you cannot become attached to. You can still have something and not be attached to it.

That is Buddhism/Daoism in a nutshell.
Forced military service has one very important aspect that often get overseen. It is forced. People may object because of moral reasons, or because of religious reasons, or because of fear, but then we also have people who believe that forcing people into service is simply wrong.

To me there is very little difference between men being forced into military service and women being forced to breed and taking care of the home, as was a common view of gender roles during world war 2. Men get sent to war and women stay behind and produce more men. It is a very dehumanized way to treat people. The distinction between forced conscription and volunteering to work in the military is day and night, and you only have conscientiously objection in one of those.
You sir are a man of great principles. Life is much easier when you are not.
I wonder how techniques like these will far in our increasingly present (but still not universal) world of tying one's identity to their biometric details, especially their face in not just formal ID documents but also corporate digital visual registries (Facebook being just one example)

> When a modern ichthyologist examined the book a quarter millennium after its publication, he determined that only about one in ten of the species depicted was drawn from the imagination; the rest were identifiable down to the genus, many even to the species.

This is fascinating. I skimmed the 500 MB PDF download of the 1754 book [1] and I can confirm that anyone familiar with the reef fish/animals of the Indo-Pacific (these are from the Spice Islands [2] in the Indonesian archipelago) can easily pick out individual species. I was surprised by the number of times the same species, according to my non-ichthyologist eyes, was repeated (e.g. Picasso Triggerfish and Rainbow Mantis Shrimp).

The artist was very good at capturing the shape and patterns of the animals (maybe not so good at grouping them by species). The colors seem to be more interpretive than realistic, probably because the fish were from local markets. Rather than being "psychedelic", some of the most spectacular colorings, such as the Clown Triggerfish [3], are depicted with bland colors.

I tackle this by setting the sleep timer in my app of choice, Listen, to fifteen minutes. As the counter winds down it plays a few low-pitched beeps over the last 30 seconds of play and if it detects any movement during that time it resets the timer for another fifteen minutes. It's easy enough to work out where you're up to in a small range.

It also has bookmarks but I never use them.

Yeah it's super confusing, especially since mix releases are now a thing, but weren't before.

I've heard Chris McCord (the author of Phoenix) say he doesn't use Elixir releases in production in most of his consulting company's client work. He talked about it in some podcast like 6 months ago. I think they just run the same mix command as you would in development but he wasn't 100% clear on that.

But yeah, it's not easy to reason about it, and also if you decide to use releases it's a bummer you lose all of your mix tasks. You can't migrate your database unless you implement a completely different strategy to handle migrations. But then if you ever wanted to do anything else besides migrations that were mix tasks, you'd have to port those over too.
> Are the living costs higher in that state (I'm Australian)?

Yes, average cost of living in California is about the highest in the US, although there is large variation within different parts of the state. A comparison point might be that the average teacher in California is paid about $82,000/year: https://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teaching_now/2019/04/which.... My impression from the overall range of numbers for the different states is that nurses are paid a considerably above average salary for a a difficult job.

> You're asking the wrong person for their opinion

Outside opinions are good --- I don't think there is a clear answer here. As an American, I was somewhat surprised by how high the nurse salaries are compared to other essential professions like teaching. I also agree that they seem very low compared to many tech professions. The question then is whether one should view the tech professions as overpaid or the nurses/teachers as underpaid. The easy answer is that under capitalism, paying for a more expensive programmer can help you make even more money; while paying more for a nurse or teacher doesn't necessarily improve your profit.

Magenta: The Color That Doesn’t Exist and Why
The EU legal requirement for free-range eggs is a maximum stocking density of 9 hens per square meter, plus 4 square meters per hen of outdoor space, and continuous access to the outdoors during daylight hours.

Eggs certifications like Red Lion, RSPCA, and organic soil association all specify stricter standards than the legal requirements.

* then some basic examples to clarify the concept

Me too! I used to love minidiscs back in the late 90s. I started out with a Sony MZ-R30 and moved on to a half a dozen other models. I was very lucky that I was able to convince a dozen or so friends to adopt minidiscs so we had a nice network for creating and trading discs.

I even ran a website devoted to equipment (not nearly as successful as minidisc.org). Now I'm nostalgic. It is really too bad that Sony kept the ecosystem so locked down. It was far superior to fragile audio CDs.

You can draw no useful information about standards from an article like that – producers who violate legal standards should be prosecuted, and that's an orthogonal issue to the standards themselves.

I also don't think that your statements are actually correct. My understanding is that "13 hens per square meter" is actually "9 hens per square meter" since 2012, and this is the requirement for indoor space only – in addition, "free range eggs" have pretty clear stipulations for the level of outdoor access which is required (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A...).

I mean, if your complaint is that producers are exploiting loopholes to get around regulations, or that they're just not following them and there's insufficient enforcement, then sure – that's a problem, and one that should be fixed. But it's harder to do that while not being clear about the current state of regulation and the problems faced.

Interesting question.

Considering how different the gid and btree indexes are, I'd say it's very different. GIN essentially builds a posting list for each value in the column, and compresses that (which might be seen as a kind of a bitmap index). OTOH btree deduplication simply compares index keys that end up on the same leaf page. So there's on "global" index compression, it's much more localized.

But I suppose Peter and Anastasia have more thoughts on this ...
In my (extremely not senior) view, maintaining other people's monstrosities doesn't teach the right lesson, because there are many ways to get things wrong, but fewer ways to get things right.
Previously, maintaining someone else's monstrosity taught me to avoid their specific mistakes, but not those classes of mistakes. I'd momentarily feel superior over having a different idea about how to accomplish those goals, only to feel deflated once my idea also showed short-comings.
Better to learn how to reason correctly about these things, and that probably doesn't happen until you take seriously the cost of maintenance, which really only comes once you've spent enough time in those trenches, having dug them yourself.

I also think that it's a poor description of what's going on.

Judging by the videos, they means that the everything in the level has physics capability. In one preview clip, they show weapons destroying part of the ceiling, and then a large chunk comes down and lands on the ground. It's pretty obviously using physics to do it. There's also water and sand shown.

So I think what they really mean is that every single pixel can move, unlike most games where the background tiles are locked in place and the player can never affect them.

In 3D games, they usually say something like "Fully destructible environment".
I am especially worried about how drugs are presented in popular culture now a days. Very popular people (Joe Rogan for example, but far from the only one) keep repeating how good drugs can be for you, what a miracle drug they can be - drop smoking in one mushroom trip, how we wrongly fought against their mass adoption, etc.

Meanwhile spending time in circles where drugs are used you don't have to search at all to find plenty of examples of people who ruined their lives. Even weed can do that. And while it mostly applies to young people I have several examples of 35+ with no prior problems getting some very destructive habits. MDMA has completely changed a closed friend of mine (early forties) for the worse. Psychedelics? That's some very powerful stuff that should be handled with extreme care. Meanwhile you have youtube channels presenting them as you would have a beer.
