‘Mind-boggling variety’: the food crusaders preserving India’s heritage
Trust me, you really don’t, I’m speaking in a country that did see much of the tech get adopted (Taiwan). I get how the method can be intriguing from a casual glance (I was like this when it started), but that quickly wore off when the wheels touched the ground. We spent way too much legislative resource trying to plug the holes, and I got to hear a lot of the problems from a friend of involved in regulating this (金融監督委員會 Financial Supervisory Commission). And after you finally spend enough efforts to make things work “properly” you’d basically end up duplicating the credit/debit card system. China made the method look successful and effortless because they can take shortcuts; for everyone else, just stick to cards, they are better in almost every way (if you get NFC working, which you should anyway).
We don't (yet) have official networking apis, but there are a number of 3rd party plugins:

For an idea of scale: 12th order is enough to fit every transcendental function in the C math library well past the point where a human could tell the difference without doing deeper analysis. Most of them will be less than one ulp of error off.
Ben Thompson explicitly states that he is not talking about all Internet companies, and that is one of his beefs with Tim Wu's critique—that it is reducing his actual argument to a caricature.

To your point, yes I agree that this hinges on the specifics of Google's business. If, for example, their advertising business was made illegal in its current form it would completely change the economics.

One issue is that these days many people work at places that have BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy. This means you install work related apps on your own phone rather than being supplied with a work phone like in the old days. Many of these apps refuse to work on a rooted phone "for security" (justified or not, that's the argument)
You can close those valves with a simple “hack”. The N95 woodworker mask I have has a plastic guard over the valve. Cut the guard and use an adhesive (I use Sugru) to close the valve. Ugly but effective, and visibly shows the valve has been shut...
> thoughts associated with code - "spoke with Titus and Jen about this, and the loop needs to be broken up because foobar...". most of the time if I embed comments like that, someone blocks a PR or just rips them out in the name of "cleanliness", then 3 years later people are wondering "why was this done this way?"

I really hate it when people do this. The commit message should be all about the why (the diff already tells me the what), getting rid of it means removing the only useful bit of info from the commit message.
I think all of those also fit in No Man’s Sky.

I found we just went through ink like nobodies business. We don't print all the time (typically 3-4 times a year), and it would be sufficient gap that between prints we'd find the ink cartridges had dried up or just stopped working. No amount of cleaning runs would get it to flow smoothly again. It was getting stupid expensive to keep buying ink.

I bought a multi-function HP Laser printer a couple of years ago and haven't looked back (although we started having to print more and more frequently as our kids have got older). It's one of those devices that "just works" now. Even Linux automatically detects it on the network and configures itself for printing.
This kind of reminds me of the retail co-op dynamic. Most people in the US are familiar with the Ace Hardware brand, where local stores get a branding and logistics boost from being part of the co-op, but stay entirely locally owned. That way, independent stores can function with the supply chain and purchasing power of a large multinational. IGA does a similar thing in the grocery space.

Just like jet plane rides, air conditioning, cell phones, etc. were only for the rich and powerful initially. Capitalism encourages efficiencies which drive prices down over time.
I have been wanting a PC like this for years, I even found a couple of them (x86 based) on AliExpress, but they were too large for my needs.

Suggested improvements for Pi 400:
1. Add a couple more keys to the layout: PGUP, PGDOWN, HOME, END - these are needed for seamless web browsing without a mouse.
2. A small touch pad would be great to have.
3. A MIPI camera interface and two more USB ports.
4. LiPO battery.
That would indicate an agreement with the government to print some forensic markings.

That is a bad thing, but it is an entirely different thing from an anti-competitive cartel.
That's a pretty specific and minor gripe...
Hadn't thought of storing only audio, that would definitely be possible, but doesn't seem very useful.
To add my voice to this, sure it’s nowhere near the quality of the super fancy laser printer at work, but for home use the brother laser printer I got (entry level) has been absolutely fantastic. At this point literally the only printer I’m not scared to recommend to friends when they ask.

Edit: for documents and such, not photos.
There is a popular Rob Pike's quote on writing terminal based text editor, "Everybody writes a screen editor. It's easy to do and makes them feel important. Tell them to work on something useful". Then as any self-respecting hackers will do, he wrote Sam text editor few years after making the remarks [1].

Writing text editor seems to be the second favorite hackers past time activities after perhaps writing a compiler for APL and Rob did it too :-)

Anyway, congrats to the Ox editor authors for having a go, and personally I like and commended the fact that on the project Github page they provide the comparison to the other popular text editors.

Since Ox is both front-end and back-end implementation based on Rust based libraries, it does shows that Rust based eco-system has been growing steadily.

I have two features suggestions that perhaps can take Ox editor to the next level and be more useful.

Firstly, as mentioned by the sibling comment's buried towards the end of comment section, on the very large file (VLF) feature for opening big file. This can be implemented by the help of RRB-Tree data structure and the Rust library is already available [2].

Secondly, is the CRDT feature that can be implemented with the automerge library. It seems Rust based automerge library is still in its infancy but perhaps by more project adoption, it can further accelerate the development [3].This second feature is very useful for local-first text editing capability enabling both offline and online collaboration feature that can propel Ox to stand out from the crowd.

I feel like this might be a Patreon-friendly thing.. funding the work to have it updated at least monthly with a new deep dive and rating.

Having it updated regularly seems like an important component to me.
A fun modification would be to add a mask directly in front of the LED to change its shape, for instance to mimic the weird crescent shadow effect that many of us saw during the last solar eclipse.

Some other fun things to do with it would be to point it through some plants in front of a fan to get the filtered-light-through-leaves effect, or to shine it onto moving water.

Any successful flying platform will start with a mission that includes payload capacity, range (distance), operating costs, and weather resilience.

The difference between a hobbyist and a professional is that the hobbyist builds a platform first and looks for a mission/customer after spending R&D dollars. The professional starts with a mission/customer before proceeding to R&D.

Reading the notebooks I'd guess although in tech, not a programmer. It's all on designing the one game (based on Screeps), except one page on food. (I think BLL is business logic layer, p2p.bak is the servers to run it, blockchain-ish)

Personally I guess religious and gay. Just current intuition. I haven't read all the forums. The ex-girlfriend claim doesn't seem cited.

Reading his notebook was really sad. His private thoughts on show for the world to see. Being a quite person it's not something I'd guess he'd have liked. I know the dead are dead, but I also won't piss on a friends grave, so I don't practice what I believe.

Solving this problem is not worth the effort at this point. They will all have competition by the end of 2021 in the form of Starlink, which itself will have competition within a couple of years from whatever Bezos is launching. Then there will be still more competition from 5G everywhere. We will be drowning in bandwidth within a couple of years, planet-wide. Capitalism is pretty great like that.
That's not what the OP was saying. The argument is if somebody can take Silver's model's predictions over time and produce a better next estimate than it, then Silver's model is incoherent about its own beliefs.

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. --H. L. Mencken, US editor (1880-1956)

Before there was info floating whether dept of state is suggesting sanction. I assume it is not going as the Wall Street stopped it due to the money involved and the gain to be got. Even though it meant Hong Kong will replace USA market for the capital needed in china. Trillion of dollars alone was frozen for this ipo in Hong Kong.

Another info was Ma was summoned to talk about the ipo. (More details come up about a possible gathering in which Ma was argued against the regulatory authority. One of the old guard wang wish an was there. )

The game being played is unknown. And big stake involved no doubt.

I’ve heard of communities doing this very thing, or creating city-owned ISPs, and then getting shut down as illegal due to “unfair competition” (the argument being that the government has unfair advantages vs a private company)
It's only a monopoly when you're narrowly focused not on internet access, but on fiber specifically.

My goodness you folks will bend over backwards to defend the world's largest corporations censoring journalists. It shows just how illiberal the Democratic Party has become. It's very lonely right now for those of us that believe in freedom of speech as an ideal worth standing up for.
Based on their historical data, it seems to happen 2-4 times per year on average. Obviously the situation is very tense right now everywhere in the world but this isn't exactly exceptional.

You don't need to get rid of a smartphone, just be smart on what you have on the thing. Start with Android since that is far more amenable to customisation than iOS. Install an AOSP-derived distribution like LineageOS. Don't install the 'gapps' (Google Apps), use F-Droid and Aurora Store for any 'apps' you need. Truth be told the need for 'apps' is debatable with the advent of useable web versions. There may be some 'apps' which you can't get around having, here in Sweden it is more or less mandatory to have an electronic ID app like 'BankID'. Apart from that you won't need much if anything closed source on your device, especially not if you happen to have your own server which you can connect to. Add a VPN app - Wireguard is shaping up nicely - to connect to your own server running your own services (mail, "cloud", search, media, etc.) and you're set.
It's written in a mix of Java (older legacy code), Kotlin (new non-Clojure code) and Clojure.
I wish I could see something on that video. For an app focusing on delivering screencasts, you are dangerously bad at delivering screencasts.
Not sure of the exact model, but we had a brother laser printer at my old work. A few of them actually. They were fairly reliable most of the time. It would jam occasionally and figuring out errors with it was sometimes frustrating. But i never really hated them or have any ill feelings towards them the way i do with other printers.
The trick is to buy a laser printer. Inkjet is garbage and cannot handle being left idle for any period of time. Laser does not suffer from this problem.
> Inkjets work reliably when used regularly.

My dad had a HP Deskjet 720 and after several years of using it, it had been sitting for at least 2 years without a single print or maintenance. Then one day I needed it for a school project, with all its colors due to some graphs.

Printed a simple test page with some colors twice, then the colors were back in action. Successfully printed 20 or so color pages after that without issue.

So clearly inkjets that doesn't dry out was a solved problem, however I realize that doesn't exactly drive ink or printer sales so yeah.

These days I just have a monochrome laser printer at home for the two-three times a year I need it. Always just works, no fuzz.
The Super Heuristic (For Interviews)
It's a three-way link between video, git commits, and markdown. You can edit the markdown on the cast as well. None of this is explained as well as it should be.
True, well, probably in combination with other aspects..

But getting everyone into tech is a classic non-solution :)
(It's kind of funny)
I've failed to find any text in the article that discusses why that map is misleading.

There's a section that discusses why it would be visually misleading to use a logarithmic scale, but I can't find anything that justifies the use of the statistical upper fence.

I'd be very interested if anyone could comment on why the statistical upper fence is considered less misleading for visualizing election results.
I've been using the same Brother MFC laser printer for like 10 years without a single issue, and the cartridges are cheap and last an incredible amount of time.

I think the issue is that Inkjet printers suck.
Multi-Tenant vs. Single-Tenant IDaaS Solutions
I've never had that hateful relationship with printers. Sure, the occasional paper jam etc., and experience with the office printer that is beyond it's useful lifetime in terms of lifetime prints or underspec'ed for its monthly duty cycle, and we replace it.

As for ink expense, yeah that's been an issue for decades though it is not due to lack of technical advances, but to vendor lock in. However, most brands now offer printer options slightly more expensive than an entry level ink jet that have ink tanks instead of cartridges. I recently replaced my 6 year old work horse with one: It came with the equivalent of 10 cartridges of ink, and each replacement color is $15, again for the equivalent of 10 cartridges.
Updated. There is a page talking about nutrition, protein and "trying different flavors". Fits perfectly with Spirulina powder that is used in protein shakes as the source of protein.

Updated again, Nanites are described in the context of a game later. This does not support my checklist hypothesis. Strange list. Maybe could be just a list of names for different worlds and items in the game.

On the contrary, any scientist that says they're 100% confident doesn't know what they're talking about. "Belief" is as good a word as any to describe how we look at probabilities, weigh evidence, and come to the most likely conclusion.
What a fair, even, unbiased assessment.
I deliberately installed the updates that contain CompatTelRunner and Appraiser on an old Windows 7 laptop with a hard drive to demonstrate its problems. I had to set a registry value before it actually consumed CPU and HDD time though. In fact, nxquery.sys is targeted at Windows 7 users (it is a simple driver to read a MSR to determine if NX is disabled in the BIOS). Trivia: Appraiser creates multiple threads, so it is not just one core that consumes CPU time.

>What the threat levels mean:

Threat levels are designed to give a broad indication of the likelihood of a terrorist attack.

LOW means an attack is highly unlikely

MODERATE means an attack is possible, but not likely

SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is likely

SEVERE means an attack is highly likely

CRITICAL means an attack is highly likely in the near future
The other thing is that these apps invariably screw usability up in some way. I use Sweech as a Wifi file server on the phone, but to get pictures off... whoops, no multi select. so if I want to grab the newest 50 photos off the wife's phone, that's 50 checkmarks to click (I'm not geeky enough to have Termux on the wife's phone). Or apps that only talk to a companion app on your (Windows or Mac) computer using a proprietary protocol. Or simply need a crapload of taps to get the job done.

Whereas the rsync method is exactly this: "syncphone" on my main machine. If it doesn't connect, nudge the phone so it wakes up (it'll connect anyway eventually; the phone seems to wake up on its own now and then). And then it's all automatic and scriptable from that point. I realize that perhaps 0.1% of smartphone users have the skills to automate things at that level and therefore care.

The auto rsync when charging is a good idea. I guess Termux can still get access to the battery/charge state?

Another example of user hostility: While on Android phones, at least older ones, bulk transfer of files via USB to/from a Linux machine has always been hit and miss, it's been rock solid on iDevices. Just do "idevicepair" and after that, transfer away to your heart's content, fast and solid. Only now I read that the latest version of IOS may have messed that up too, in the name of security of course.
I have the Gemini PDA and love it. (I don't use it as my 'phone though, even though it has cellular). I've ordered the AstroSlide and will be using that as my 'phone when it arrives.
That’s an opinion piece, not from the Post’s reporting. It’s also from a commentator biased (it is the opinion section) for Trump (https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/marc-a-thiessen/).
I've found Svelte's tooling to be great. Can you elaborate on what's lacking and what Vue provides that's better?

I come from a Rails background, so I don't tend to find anything "magical". I guess to me, it's all pretty simple so long as you take the time to read how it all works. (I understand not everyone has time to do that).

I'm not sure about the incremental stuff- it may be that I'm used to it going fast. You should also checkout the latest Svelte (not public yet) from Rich, it's able to automatically show updates after every save, with state being kept within the refresh.
No, it’s because of the events in France and Austria.
Correct. Your point being?
I downvoted you because it's perfectly possible to "believe" something because there is evidence for it. Plenty of scientists will say they "believe" in evolution, for example.
Right- for regular home office use, ink jet seem a silly choice.

For printing photos, inkjet with a continuous ink supply can serve well, but for text you won't beat laser even at more than double the price.
Masks seem to me to be a polite way of saying to front-facing retail employees and government workers that I realize your exposure is much greater than mine, I appreciate the risk you are taking, and I will do this small/large gesture to keep you safe. Might help me too, who knows...
