The design uses a vacuum to trip the shutoff, and that's created by the liquid moving through the venturi, so one of the things that can cause it to not work, besides wear and damage, is if the liquid is moving too slow to generate enough vacuum to actuate the mechanism.
> "please satisfy corporate by attending this compliance training".

Compliance training is about legal requirement. A little extrapolation suggests it is going to be things that your bosses are only asking you to consider because they are legally mandated. If they were going to be considerations anyway, why mandate them?

A lot of stupid things businesses do are to satisfy legal requirements that the business thinks is stupid. That one isn't the boss, it is the government.

I can't help but honestly feel that tech/AI will always be fundamentally without will/motive, and that all the sci-fi stories about 'uploading consciousness' or sentient tech will never truly be actual conscious entities. We can make them complex, and we can make them act various ways, but their existence will never be meaningful or in any way deserving of civil rights. Maybe that can change in the future, but for now I don't see any indication that it will.
Mentioning public attitudes as a focus for discussion is basically appeal to authority: just because some other group here or elsewhere thinks something is good or bad, doesn’t make it so. The ideas below that part stand just fine without talking about popularity of norms
A computer science graduate degree is not a programming course certificate and should not be treated as a substitute. If you're willing to hire people who studied four years of theory with no practical applications or experience, you need to have a plan to onboard them from theory to software development.

You wouldn't hire a metallurgist as a welder, so you shouldn't be hiring a computer scientist as a programmer.

Num lock is annoying, but for me the F6 key is the bigger issue. Even after half a year or so, I still regularly hit the wrong key.

The new pressure point took some getting used to, but I like it now in comparison to the 4000. The only real issue with that one was how easily it would break from spilling even just a small amount of water. I must have lost three of those that way over the years. Allegedly, the new one is more water resistant.

A lot of people in The Netherlands [1] use Bol.com (part of Ahold; Albert Heijn's parent company). However, Amazon.de (Germany) is also popular, and you can avoid S&H with Amazon Prime.

The reason there is no huge Amazon.nl is the same reason there's no huge eBay.nl; there's already a large local competitor: Bol.com (and Marktplaats.nl).

Because of Amazon Prime Germany being popular in NL, Amazon introduced an Amazon Prime Netherlands. They even offer a discount deal but they offer a lot less than Amazon Germany, so it does not make sense to switch the Prime subscription (apart from the discount).

If you want to order something in The Netherlands from Germany, and they only ship to Germany, then you can use a service like Huifkar. They have a drop place in Germany to ship to, drive over border, and post it from there in The Netherlands to your address in The Netherlands.

I had positive and negative experiences with all of these. On Bol.com I received some kind of fashion (?) book by Kim Kardashian instead of a 200 EUR budget smartphone (I didn't even know who she was before that). They fixed it though.

If you look at the working circumstances in distribution centre of Amazon and Coolblue you understand why sometimes things go wrong.

As someone who never, ever returns online purchases (even in the 1/100 cases where I'm genuinely unhappy with what I got), I would love the ability to shop at a 10-20% discount at an online store (or some setting on Amazon) which completely disallows returns. You buy it, you keep it. Always.

Would love to stop subsidizing the indecisive, the scammers, the people who can't bother to research products before they buy, etc.

Oh, definitely, but just because the implementation sucks doesn't mean that the idea isn't there.

Modula-3 was also pretty slow compiling, but it also compiled interfaces so that it could refer to them. Unfortunately, the underlying objects could change during a compilation because of partial revelation, so parts of the system would have to be recompiled when the builder found those cases. I'm sure Modula-2 could have been faster in that regard, not having the opportunity for a type to be elaborated more in later compilation units.

Run it three times however is not part of such bugginess though. It means that they're randomly encountering different executions/run-states on what should be the same config/setup, each time you run it. And they have no idea why.

Or they're running things in parallel, and encountering data races and such, and randomly working as a result.

But the real concern is that they don't really know what a correct installation looks like, or they'd just check-and-retry on a loop until it succeeded (the easiest hack around such problems)

Museum Floods – Re-Opening Postponed
Using a new sealed 2016 iPhone SE that I paid $60 for about 5 months ago.

It replaced a 2016 iPhone SE I cracked the screen on. Since Apple charges $129 for a display, and since I don’t have any access to touch and proximity sensor calibration equipment, I can’t properly do it by myself.

I paid $99 for that one brand new last year.

It replaced a 2016 iPhone SE (from 2016) with a battery that only held a charge for a hour and also fell apart - the glue holding the display module together wore out.

The 2016 iPhone SE runs the latest iOS 14. I think the 12 mp camera is suitable enough for my needs, the square sides are great for standing it up without the use of a tripod to take a photo, and I have a headphone jack still. There hasn’t been a iPhone since that’s come close to being as small. Still, I’d like to see it get even smaller. I haven’t found a single phone since that’s had a compelling reason for me to sacrifice this size without switching to Android.

To date I’ve spent approximately $560 on iPhones since retiring my next favorite phone of all time: my Nokia Lumia Icon. I still miss windows phone.

I have to sing some praises for Webpack for a second.
I work at a company with a large (> 10k files) old (> 10 years) JS codebase. It used to rely on a home-grown build tool, but making our builds both fast and modern took the time of multiple full-time engineers. Webpack isn't "fast" like Rust is fast, and it's not old enough to be as well-documented or understandable as I'd wish, but:

1. it is flexible enough to fit all of our weird edge cases.

2. it has a really solid community of people working on it.

3. it made adopting new features like TypeScript extremely simple for us.

I don't see us upgrading from 4 to 5 eagerly (at least until it's been production-proven), but I'm excited about this release, and I love all the hard work that's gone into it. Congrats to the team — it's no small feat.

> One person's investigative reporter is another persons 'conspiracy theorist' depending on your beliefs and views. You are promoting your beliefs and views on this thread, and attempting to argue about the credibility of a writer you don't agree with or believe. This is what the broader thread is about, you're proving my point again.

And some people think ancient aliens and UFOs are serious areas of study, but most reasonable people think it's nonsense. That disagreement on this kind of thing is possible doesn't make every perspective equally credible or vital.

I actually agree with your point:

>>>>> To presume to know anything about what goes on in the rarified power struggles at an intercontinental/global levels requires free speech and giving serious researchers/writers a viewable voice.

Where I disagree is that people like Whitney Webb can shed any more light on those power struggles than Bob Lazar. If the article of hers that I read is a good representation of her oeuvre, she offers tendentious and misleading interpretations of already public information. I think the best that can do is offer a false sense of deeper understanding.

A real deeper understanding needs someone to take serious risk, like Edward Snowden did, to bring secret things into the light.

> I'm sorry but I have a hard time reconciling Laplacian determinism with quantum physics, I'd like to see more details.

As I understand it, it's not really Laplacian determinism.
We still have the chaos and quantum randomness. But the argument is, your "decision", what you perceive as free will is the result of it. Not the other way around.

At a certain scale (time and scope-wise) it can be predicted what you will "decide" before you think you consciously take a decision.

I picture it for myself a bit like a partly covered Pascal's marble run. The upper covered part standing for quantum randomness.

Neurosciences don't make a claim on being able to predict that, but they can (more or less) accurately observe the lower uncovered part and seeing where the marble goes. (Or at least which side)

And then we have the subject of the experiment, which becomes conscious of the marble when it drops, claiming that it willed the marble to drop there.

I hope my picture helps more than distract, as it will have its own flaws.
The biggest thing I've been excited about is having an offline cache for fast recompilations. It'll make startup times a lot faster, which is a big improvement for developer experence (especially in larger codebases).
> It is possible for a subject to be both political and controversial

I didn’t claim otherwise. I believe that people are told not to talk about their abortion because it’s controversial, but not because it’s political barring perhaps a few people who aren’t educated enough to understand the distinction.

> Abortions are political because the Republican party has a publicly-stated policy of wanting to legislate against abortion.

The Republican party’s political advocacy is obviously political, but it doesn’t follow that any given account of an abortion is political. Both are controversial, however.

> So everything controversial is becoming political.

Controversial things frequently are political, but that doesn’t mean any particular speech about a controversial topic is political speech. You seem to be confusing a prohibition about politics with a prohibition against any topic that has a political aspect. So at coinbase, a gay man could talk about his marriage despite that gay marriage is also a political subject (and also a controversial topic in some spheres, albeit probably not the SV spheres), but he (and any employee for that matter) couldn’t advocate for or against gay marriage policy or norms.
I frequently have to rerun `npm i` when it fails for seemingly spurious reasons. We used to laugh at Windows years ago, when the solution was so often "turn it off and on again", but it's basically what you need to constantly do with tools like npm and webpack.
Guys if you are in the market for split keyboards and can operate a soldering iron, the endgame is Quefrency 2 (60%, you actually don’t need more) or Sinc (TKL I think - without the numpad but with macro row) from keeb.io with Zilent switches. It’s programmable through QMK (so you can use layers).

You can print out decent cases for it (although I prefer aluminum plates) and the switch quality you get with Zilents is far beyond anything offered by pre-built vendors. It’s about 1-2 hours to put together, you only need to solder switches which is super easy and kinda fun. Also you can customize the layout, meaning the size of keys used (1u backspace etc etc). Once you put it together any of these keyboards work OOB now programming is required and there is even a really nice new app (Via) that allows to do all the mapping (even lighting if that’s your thing) via GUI.

They use standard layout so you don’t have to relearn (I have Ergodox and I used it once - whatever the benefit it may offer over split keyboard is negligible compared to the downside of having to adjust to new keyboard and then possibly mess up decades worth of typing habits, so using regular keyboard which happens often still would suddenly feel awkward.

I have both (Quefrency 1 not 2 though) and not affiliated with Keeb people at all, just a happy customer.

Also I run both with blank keycaps so I guess I am a touch typist? Other keyboard I have are Ergodox, Kinesis Edge and Microsoft Sculpt. Quefrency / Sinc are simply leagues ahead of any of those, I can’t imagine using anything else.

I saw the split Ultimate Hacking keyboard and it looks nice and idea to have a custom thumb cluster or trackpoint it enticing, but the bottom row on Quefrency / Sinc covers maybe 80% of possible use cases I could come up with for thumb cluster and QMK layers + Karabiner Elements or similar easily handles the rest of the 20%. Losing the Zilent switches in favor of Kalih that the UHK uses is not worth any of the added customization options.

AMA if you’re curious, again, this may read like an ad, but i am in no way affiliated

EDIT: also I did go down the split keyboard path because I started to get serious elbow pain (tennis elbow) which was in part related to climbing but got really aggravated by the regular keyboard. Then I started to feel numbness in my pinkies and that was actually scary. It is beyond me how people who spend 6-8 hours typing can use regular keyboards after they turn 30

Also not priced in is the environmental cost of discarding the assembled product.

Edit: I might add that in the cost of digging up resources, in many cases the lives of the people doing the digging are not valued much more than the hours of the people doing the sorting of returned items. So that's something to think about as well.

My attempt at visualizing (and simulating) an online physics text book for my students.

https://landgreen.github.io/physics/index.html

I've heard the argument that making it easier to quickly understand something reduces long term understanding.

> 2) you can fire any customers who you don't like. Not so your boss.

I know what you mean, but I think there's an alternate way to look at this.

Every time I've moved jobs, I really look at it as firing my boss. The process is pretty much the same as firing someone:

* First, I voiced my concerns and gave my boss a chance to improve.

* When he wasn't improving, I began searching the job market to find his replacement (my future boss).

* After a few interviews, I found a replacement that was a really good fit for the role of "my boss".

* I let my old boss know that his performance had not improved enough, and I was forced to let him go, but I wished him all the best in his future endeavors.

* I gave my new boss a start date, and so far everything is going great.
I think the majority of people don’t return stuff because it is such a pain to find a UPS store.
The comment by me that you are replying to is more about the feeling from within the computer, rather than the case of copying where you are the physical version.
In the case of copying, I am in a potentially small group of people that would willingly create a copy of myself to be uploaded to a computer. Assuming it is non-destructive, then there would be two 'me's around. The physical one that has continuity, and the computer.
After whatever brain-scanning this is, and I wake up as the physical version rather than the digital, I would likely be disappointed as the digital arrives closer to accomplishing the goal of immortality. Yet, I would also be glad that a version of me gets to live on.
Even if it is no longer the me on the physical side, it was still a me at the time of copying. It is giving a version of yourself chances that you may not get (immortality, whatever crazy experiences one can get when your brain is simulated, etc).
