If you are comfortable prototyping on a breadboard it shouldn't take long to produce the layout in KiCAD or a similar EDA tool.

Then you can order your PCB at a local shop, manufacture it yourself (with toner transfer, a CNC at a hackerspace, etc) provided the traces aren't too thin and there are not too many layers (1 is easy, 2 is standard and cheap, more layers are expensive), or order it from china at a relatively low price (jlpcb or seedstudio will average something like $1/apiece).
That's very interesting! What sectors were those buyers in? I've mostly worked with fortune 5000 and financial institutions.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that you didn't get any feedback. The default option for these companies is to make you accept their specific blend of security requirements... Of course, you then have to support that forever...

I've had good luck setting up a meeting with both the due diligence person and the actual buyer/champion present. It's often easier to explain your stance in person and the buyer is going to stop the due diligence person when he's getting into the weeds.
> Most of the services (FB and the likes) we're discussing here are morally neutral by their nature

I don't think that's the case. Is it moral to exploit human psychology when developing addictive features that pull people into the site over and over? Is it moral to sell user information to advertisers so they can emotionally manipulate you into buying crap you don't need? Is it moral to design interactions that evoke outrage and disagreement in order to increase engagement? Is it moral to track user activity across the web, outside the company's site?

I don't think any of these things are moral. These practices might not be necessary for a site like FB (then again they might), but this is the model they all seem to choose. And that's what actually matters.

I haven't ever seen mention of elaborate suspension systems to counteract the effect of people walking about or seismic activity. Given that I had a modest interest in old clocks I would take this is a reasonable indication that it is not a problem or that what problem exists cancels itself out.

If I had to take a guess the reason is the only coupling through to the pendulum would be via the friction in its bearings or via movement of the air around it. Both of these are naturally minimised in most designs so normal vibrations are not an issue.

Alex Jones plays an insane persona to make money off of his viewers. This is an established fact that he himself has admitted to. Thus, taking the words of what is essentially a cartoon character as any kind of truth is in itself the evidence of someone who has lost touch with reality.

A friend of mine from France was here in the USA and we got sandwiches. When he opened his he was shocked and disappointed on the overstuffed size of it. “What is this? How can someone eat this? This is ridiculous”
Or words to that effect. He was genuinely confused by the size. And couldn’t believe how terrible the bread was.

To be fair they weren’t great sandwiches in general. I sort of agree with him though that a French proportion on a jambon buerre is better than a typical ham and cheese sandwich here.

Energy is used to transform things. A high energy society is a society that transforms a lot, and hence will quickly reach ecological barriers, no matter how clean the energy is.
Your reply bugs me. Not yours personally, but especially in the US this attitude seems to be a very binary thing. You either die, or most people survive it and your chances of survival seem to be good.

What this leaves out is all those nasty consequences observed, where Covid victims survive, but encounter all sorts of health issues. From kidney - to heart damage, up to funky things it may do to your brain.

This leaves out the long timers[1], who survive it, but have massive health issues for month with no end in sight.

I, for one, are really hell bent not to catch it and as a society there seems to be number of quite simple measures to avoid spread.

Unfortunately even those, like masks, in my opinion a no brainer, get politicized.

Scrum vs Extreme Programming – What Are the Major Differences?
Scrum or Extreme Programming - how different are they? How to choose the best Agile methodology? Watch this video to find out.
Agile Software Development is all about incrementally delivering quality software to businesses.
Today we are reviewing two Agile methodologies, Scrum and Extreme Programming. Both of them build on top of certain principles and provide clear guidelines for product development.
The two frameworks discussed, Scrum and Extreme Programming, both focus on delivering a high-quality product to the customer as fast as possible.
There is no universally best framework suitable for all cases – each of them has its pros, cons, and use cases.
In our video, we are reviewing everything you need to know to make a choice.

Google started it with the WiFi collection "bug" and offline location collection "bug".
I used to work there, security was mostly decent with the exception of not encrypting files client side. We advocated for it many times but the founders wanted to keep the UI as simple as possible for users, which means that forcing users to send the encryption keys to the receiver via a secondary channel (ie not via WeTransfer, which would defeat the purpose as we would be able to MITM it) was a no-go. You can always encrypt the files yourself with the method of your choice and then send the encryption key over Telegram/Signal/whatever. The company has existed for over 10 years now and is profitable, so it's not going to disappear overnight or anything.

That said, the thing that apparently killed Mozilla Send (becoming a hub for spam and child abuse material) was much easier to handle. The last big project I was involved in was an automated photoDNA scanner to detect suspected child abuse material. It would pull in various lists of hashes of known bad material and flag any matches for manual verification by the department of the Dutch police that handles such things.
Mozilla Foundation, as owner of Mozilla Corp, is a non-profit. Thus the second argument is not that important. Also a single feature can be unprofitable if it helps to drive the related products.

First argument is more relevant, I see it as underestimated the risk there and coming out of a technical experiment ...

That all said: Mozilla Corp's "focussing" doesn't convince me.
The memcpy example cleared it up for me. That's awesome!
Berlin used to have lots of snow. People used to worry about icicles falling on them. Even five years ago when I moved here we had a few big snowfalls. Not so much any more.

I even bought a nice down jacket to brave the winters here but it turned out not to be a good investment.

Of course finding so much as a small hill anywhere near here is a whole other problem...

Not really, sorry. This is from personal experience, and all I have is anectodes from the trenches of the OR and ER. I guess you might find some articles on MEDLINE/Pubmed, but I suspect that it's not a well-studied problem because it doesn't make/lose enough money for the right people.

However, even if emergency escape hatches exist for the particular task at hand I'd bet on the staff on site to not be aware of those anyways.

Technology brought complexities to healthcare that healthcare workers are not educated to handle. For instance, try asking to undock a surgical robot for anesthesia to gain access to the patient in an emergency. On DaVinci robots, there's a procedure for doing that in 30 seconds. Last time we tried it in our OR, it took >10 minutes.

That's the current "improve yourself" mentality. Gadgets are there to help you.

Besides that, I noticed that many people actually don't really know anymore how to live "normal" (aka healthy) and really need those Gadgets. For Example: Make Sports, Sleep and eat well ... that's nothing new, but many people seem to forgot how to do so and need Apps to remind them on a hourly basis to do so (don't forget to stand up for 5 minutes every hour).

Beside all that: Proper sleep is not about tracking sleep and get a reporting that you have slept properly. There are several things that contribute to a proper sleep, like sleeping habits, eat well (and at the right time) and more.
This just looks like a way for employers to track employees with no benefit to said employees. No one needs to know when I’m on a break at home / taking a shit.
I switched to croc (https://github.com/schollz/croc) to send large files. Works great across macOS and Windows. It's synchronous, one-time, so not a fire-and-forget system. But quick for large files (sending custom disk images for Raspberry Pi).
In the UK I think there's even a VAT rule that hot food must be taxed, but cold food isn't.

It could've changed, but that's what I remember.

Quoting the spectator destroys any kind of argument you're trying to make. The Spectator isn't a credible source for any medical information, especially for anything about GIDS and GICS.

They're an explicitly anti-trans publication, and have posted many articles railing against trans acceptance.

James Kirkup spends his days posting anti-trans material on twitter.

Because he's driven by his ideology of hate he makes a load of mistakes throughout this article. For example:

> Although the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) advises this is a physically reversible treatment if stopped, it is not known what the psychological effects may be.

This isn't talking about the effects of hormone suppressants, it's talking about the psychological harm of discontinued transition for people with gender dysphoria. If you start a course of treatment thinking you're finally on a pathway to full transition, and then you have to stop for some reason, that stoppage causes harm.

Another example is the way he claims to be talking about puberty suppressants, but then links the list off effects for cross-sex hormones. Those are never given to people under 16 in England, so they're not relevant to a discussion of puberty suppressants.

> why has the NHS so significantly changed its main publication on hormone treatment for children without any announcement or fanfare?

Because that's how the NHS website works. This is, frankly, a silly point.

> Given that the NHS now says that hormone therapy for gender-variant children has unknown long-term effects on the physical and mental health of those children, why is the NHS still using such treatments on children?

We don't know if these are harmful or not (but all the evidence we have so far suggests not). But we do know that denying children access to these meds causes harm. There's not much difference here between puberty suppressants and many other meds used for children. We don't know the long term effects of a bunch of meds, but you don't hear the Spectator ever talking about those meds.
I assume they expected some use to spread illegal content, but the ratio of illegal use to accepted use was far different than their expectations. Presumably the reason to launch it was to advertise Firefox by providing a useful tool that encourages linking to others.
I moved all my stuff to a home server, it pulls about 45W and costs me roughly £5/m in electricity costs. It will take about 2 years for me to recoup the hardware costs with savings over what I was previously paying for a VPS.

The one major improvement over renting a VPS is that I've now got a large RAID array with many terrabytes of storage, where I previously only had a few hundred gig to play with.
> moral standing

Arguments coming from moral anything (moral obligation, moral standing, etc) are generally founded on some sort of abrahamic value system. Nothing wrong with that, but discussing it from that point of view has already been done (note that there is a post in this chain that says the reasoning for animal testing being okay is made from the supposition that humans are superior) and is therefore not very interesting.

You can of course invent fake ethical situations until the sun turns into a red giant, but they would still not be germane because different situations deserve a different treatment.

The fact that you are transitioning into personal attacks three sentences into your post also really doesn't do what you are saying any favors. Perhaps you find torturing animals because it might save children perfectly acceptable and reasonable and other people find it monstrous and wrong. You might imagine those same people find their own positions to be reasonable.
I have tried but not with the oculus yet. You have two methods: either you remote VR into your desktop (Using tools such as Virtual Desktop), either you host an IDE in a browser and then just use your browser (VSCode you can host using coder.com self hosted).

My opinions are: It gets uncomfortable fairly quickly, I didn't want to use it more than an hour. The DPI is much lower than my 2K desktop monitor. It gets hot under the VR headset. In most conditions I prefer a Desktop or even a laptop. I think one place where it might be cool is the airplane since even laptops are uncomfortable.
Earth Similarity Index
It's great that y'all discuss this sort of thing internally, but at the end of the day, FB and similar platforms have increased polarization, addicted users, eroded privacy, and allowed state actors to influence elections. And that's the incredibly short list.

Whatever internal discussions you're having, they're not working. I'd posit that they can't work, because FB's entire business model is predicated on user-hostile, polarizing behavior, whether anyone internally will admit it or not.

It frankly does not matter one bit what things are like internally when externally we can see the harm FB has caused, and there is zero evidence that harm is going to stop.

Actually, they don't "save all your stuff". They require "your stuff" to be in their cloud, with no local download option, and if you do not use the service for N months, your account is purged.

And I don't care if N is 3 or if N is 36 or if N is 86400. I don't trust a single storage place for any data I care about. Having it only in their cloud is absolutely not an option, even if there weren't danger of them deliberately erasing it if I don't pay regularly.
I am trying to create a CAD driven design tool for a farming project. An equivalent from a different sector would be Helioscope (https://www.helioscope.com/) for Solar Plant planning.

All I know is javascript based web development so am quite lost on where to start. Tring to google only brings up general purpose CAD tools. Any ideas on how to go about it?
One gripe I had with the Julia language: incredibly slow startup. Although it was touted to be good for quick interactive scripting, the time it takes for the JIT compiler to compile packages and scripts was a huge dealbreaker for me. (I expected simple operations such as plotting a line to be done in less than a second, but found myself waiting minutes for the plotting library to compile.) This really threw me off and prevented me from further exploring the language. Maybe I might consider trying it again when the situation is better.

The main culprit seems to lie in the fact that the LLVM JIT compiler isn't great in terms of performance, although it does compile Julia to really efficient native runtime code. For example, you don't have problems like this in LuaJIT: although the JIT does less thorough optimizations than Julia (hence probably slower and more unpredictable runtime performance), it wins in usability by having a really fast non-compiled interpreter path written in assembly (because Mike Pall is a robot from the future). Obviously Lua is quite different in the fact that it's fully dynamically typed while Julia has a static type system, and note in mind that Lua's design had some major flaws as a scientific language (hence most ML researchers moving from LuaTorch to PyTorch.)
You can use a single bare-metal server for 20+ services. I've done it and it's a solid setup (with minor exceptions). Plus, that's what cloud providers do anyway.
