Aside from new Macbook & phone, I got my first VR (Oculus Quest 2) and that was rather fun. Especially playing In Death: Unchained (https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/2334376869949242/) is very fun.

I also loved getting my clothes from Allbirds, got shoes, sweater there.

Yup, worked in a US lab back around 2005. Now back in the EU, I find that in most areas online stores have caught up, but on hardware nothing yet comes close to McMaster-Carr.

One thing I only realized when living in the US is that the reason that online shopping is so much more advanced in the US than in the EU is not just the more homogeneous market. Due to tax rules (state sales tax on mail orders) mail order has always had a competitive edge in the US, leading to a many companies already being set up with a deep back-catalogue and strong inventory metadata when the internet hit.
Sure, but that might be because they produced very small numbers to portray an artificial scarcity and name it "demand". Not convinced.
Or a wiki page [1]. The question then turns to what value the long form book adds. I think one aspect is that consuming content over multiple days approximates the first few cycles of a Spaced Repetition system [2].

It's hard to make one-size-fits-all. If you figured it out, then I think it's fairly quick to get through the ~10 problems. If you hadn't figured it out yet, then it's good practice, and then the game doesn't get too hard too quickly.
I don't have strict rules, methods, or patterns. However, I follow common themes such as skimming (or speed-reading) boring/mundane sections, change books and come back later, read multiple books at a time.

Personally, I feel something missing if I totally skip something, so I tend to or try to finish what I read. I was known to be that kid who read Newspapers top to bottom of all pages, so that is that.

My tricks;

- Don't drive, get an Uber and read. I have finished so many books inside an Uber car.

- If I'm flying, I finish about 2 typical books per leg of the flight.

- Always have your Kindle or a Book with you. Read instead of looking at your phone. ;-)

- If you have kids, read to show them that you read, they will follow.

I second qrencode. It is notoriously used by the password-store [0]. Theirs qr function is perfect to extract as a separate script and put them into the $PATH (especially useful when it is needed to generate and save some QR codes).

The opposite tool to qrencode is zbarimg, which accepts first parameter to image file containing the QR code and prints out the encoded content.

Just to follow up - as I think the person above was a bit harsh:

I am a Bowers and Wilkins user and have the same pain points as you, it's a recurring and daily issue that I'll listen to audio from a home based device (laptop, iPad) and then have to unpair/re-pair to my phone when I leave the house.

As a seamless wireless experience it falls short as it would be faster to have a wired set and simply plug it in to the device.

Same again when I come home and want to switch back. Apple cleanly solves this.

Whether that is worth a £200 premium on top of what I paid for my current cans is debatable, however if they can match or outperform the current NC family (PX, Bose QC, Sony MX4) I will be seriously considering them as my next pair

Obama had the political capital from 2008-2010 and didn't use it because he cares about "norms" and "working with the other side" rather than engaging in legislating from the oval office like his successor.

The real lesson is that obama should have expanded executive power even more and done anything he could (including norm breaking) to executive order away as much of the patriot act and guantanamo as the courts would give him.
Since some people are complaining about the difficulty curve, you could randomly generate puzzles and rate them, and players, with Bayeselo (or similar; like chesstempo does). Then you have to use this ratings data to somehow discover how quickly to increase the difficulty of puzzles presented to the player (for example, perhaps select one with a 0.8 prob of success every time).

Actually, thinking about it some more, a player's rating should increase over time as they learn, while a puzzle's (true, latent) rating should be fixed, so you should allow for that.

Edit: love the game though, nice one!

Spezialized custom work is expensive.

I doubt Stuxnet cost only $1M.

Licensing costs for law enforcement "remote access tools" (state trojans) can be millions (distributed among dozens of uses, but IMHO easy to see spending as much on a high-value single use).

From the wiki article about the iPhone-encryption debate: "On April 7, 2016, FBI Director James Comey said that the tool used can only unlock an iPhone 5C like that used by the San Bernardino shooter, as well as older iPhone models lacking the Touch ID sensor. Comey also confirmed that the tool was purchased from a third party but would not reveal the source,[59] later indicating the tool cost more than $1.3 million and that they did not purchase the rights to technical details about how the tool functions"
I was expecting the same thing, it got me searching to see how much clearance rates have responded to new technologies already.

It's not the relationship I expected, clearance rates are steadily dropping despite these advancements.

The following piece considers a few possible reasons why:

https://digitalcommons.newhaven.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti...

Some of this may be a corrective effect, DNA is more likely to exonerate and prevent false arrests than it is to identify criminals. Other situations, well, new technology doesn't guarantee that you have enough detectives to clear crimes, or that those detectives are well trained.

Then there's the whole class of violent crimes that happen on high traffic streets where DNA is not likely to be abundant or well preserved.
Oh, wow. I loaded those pages on an older mobile device and those pages loaded like they were on a server on my LAN. Just wow.
"when there is no such privacy debate about adoptees and the children of sperm donors using the same methods [ie, DNA searches] to find their parents"

I'm actually as concerned with the moral implications of children of sperm donors. I'm not a sperm donor, it just seems wrong to open up doors that were never agreed to under the original terms of the sperm donor agreement.

And regarding using the technology to search for criminals - it's a classic slippery slope issue. Many of us are happy that a serial killer or other murderer/rapist was found using the technology, but already police have used it to find a burglar. I'm assuming that they'll use it for non-violent drug crimes next.
A friend of mine works at an architectural energy firm, and he says it's very important in designs that airflow tends towards the kitchen rather than away. They do mostly commercial, but I could see it applying to residential as well, and sounds like that situation has, even with the vent hood on, the airflow "upside down".

When I was remodeling our kitchen we went with a over range microwave because there really wasn't anywhere else to put it. Those are known for fairly poor airflow. We got a KitchenAid with some of the best available airflow, 440CFM IIRC, but stand alone hoods can do much better. I still have a todo of replacing the roof vent with a larger one, so there's probably still some restriction in there that's slowing us down. You might want to look for similar.
It is wrong that the license is absolutely not important for the end-user. Most users might not directly care about the license of the software they use, especially between free software licenses, but they might care about the consequences even if they are not aware of the causal relation.

You might not know anything about how the engine works in your car but it is still important that it is made correctly. The whole Free Software movement targets end users and works on the assumption that these questions are important for them.

Licenses might look like non significant technical details to most end users, but they are not, and many people not in the field are able to understand the subtleties. We should consider people's ignorance inevitable. This is not a fact we can't do anything about. Software is omnipresent in our societies and as massive effects on them. They have the right to know, should care, and actually often do if you don't push them. I know, I tried.

> all the proprietary blobs

Which ones? Nvidia seems to the exception here, and only concerns Nvidia's hardware anyway. If you think of Android drivers, they are in user space libraries (Had the Linux kernel been in a non-copyleft license, they would probably live in kernel space and working out the shitty situation of Android with the kernel would be far more difficult.

Thanks to the Linux kernel being under GPL, Android vendors and manufacturers are forced to release their kernel sources, which allows projects like Lineage OS and other Android derivatives to exist.

> or potentially worsened kernel

I can't imagine why kernel developers would accept a patch that knowingly worsens the kernel upstream.

The GPL forces shitty hardware makers to release their shitty code but nobody is forced to merge it upstream.

bad closed firmware are unfortunate but I don't know what it has to do with Linux being under the GPL.
After spending a year rewriting Prisma from Scala to Rust, we finally launched it in June this year. The reception has been phenomenal, but there was one piece missing. Without a solid integrated Database Migration Tool, Prisma wasn't a complete ORM solution.

What is being unreasonably searched and who does it belong to? The 4th amendment says:

> The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated[.]

While digital records can easily be considered “papers” the function of the possessive adjective “their” in English hasn’t changed since 1791. A person can complain about an unreasonable search of their digital papers. They can’t complain about the digital search of someone else’s digital papers, like Google’s IP logs.

Section 215 used to allow the FBI to apply to the FISA court for “an order requiring the production of any tangible things”—a subpoena duces tecum. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/subpoena_duces_tecum

That legal instrument has been in use since the 1600s, and was imported into American law. Until the 20th century, nobody thought it was an unreasonable search under the 4th amendment for the government to subpoena documents where the person complaining about the subpoena had no property interest in the materials: https://commons.stmarytx.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=105...

Of course under a “living constitution” style reasoning you can do whatever you want. (After all many people think there is a right to “privacy” in the constitution, when it never uses that word, but think there is no right to own firearms, which is right there in black and beige!) We are probably well on our way to that with the Supreme Court’s 2017 decision in Carpenter which found the fourth amendment protected cell phone location information. But if you care about what the Constitution actually says, it’s difficult to understand why a defendant can complain about a fourth amendment violation for a subpoena demanding that Google turn over Google’s IP logs.
Yes, yes we are at an inflection point. But maybe not the kind you are thinking of.

There will never be a commercial tokamak power plant. There has never, at any time, been any reasonable expectation of getting practical, commercial power from magnetic-confinement hot-neutron fusion.

Renewables, with practical energy storage, will always be much, much cheaper than fusion could ever have been, even if it could be made into a workable idea. Any practical fusion plant would have to absolutely huge -- an order of magnitude bigger than the biggest fission plant. Then, it would destroy its most expensive parts with neutron flux in short order. To continue using it, it would have be be rebuilt, frequently, and at even more ruinous expense, using robots.

"Break-even" is nowhere near enough to get practical power out, because the energy extraction process must be so inefficient, with two stages of heat exchange before you get a working fluid you can run through your turbine.

Tokamak fusion research is, first, foremost, and always, a jobs program to maintain a population of high-neutron-flux physicists as a population to draw upon for weapons work. Actual useful power has never been the point, or any sort of practical goal.

Thus, the burgeoning hype is meant to counter the dawning realization that the whole program always was, still is, and can only ever be a shuck. They need enough billions poured into the project to make it politically self-sustaining, where no amount of failure can ever threaten its funding, because so much has already been sunk that it would be too embarrassing to admit failure.

As it is, to ever actually break even, all the fusion plants that could be built would have to operate for decades just to pay back all the money that has already been sunk, without any commercial construction, before even starting to pay back any of the actual (huge) construction costs. But the only way to keep them operating would be via enormous public subsidies, because they could never compete on a level field with solar and wind. So, the longer they were operated, the deeper in the hole they would get.

From what I can see, your JSON still contains "style" information in the form of Markdown. So this doesn't really separate information from design. If we're going to accept Makrdown as minimal styling, why not just use regular HTML. Which technically is already separating between information (HTML markup) and design (CSS).

A GPL'd system available entirely for free is hardly a "monopoly", though. And this only applies to servers, Linux desktops are rare and phones are split between the free-ish Android (with critical non-free Google Play Services) and the entirely locked down iOS.
You might be interested in this GCD talk. The speaker was an artist on various classic adventure games. I found it really interesting how he considered himself a traditional artist and doesn't really like computers at all.

The things they achieved with pallette switching were unbelievable, especially considering the limitations of their tools. It's crazy how he managed to do this stuff just in basic paint programs. Some HNers will be horrified (just write some code!) but I think it's really inspiring.

As someone who has many coolers, I've never understood the Yeti craze except in certain situations. Yes, they can keep ice ice for a crazy amount of time, but it's rare to need ice stay ice for that long. For a typical boat day, I'd rather have a cooler with larger internal dimensions (and hundreds of dollars cheaper).
new appetizing vegetarian recipes

I personally don't see what is lacking in this area, can you elaborate on what you think is missing?

Do you have vegetarian or vegan cookbooks? Just like there meaty counterparts, they usualy have more recipes than you can try in a year or so. Very appetizing, and there are local ones (focusing more on the typical ingredients from where I live) as well as more global ones. That's why I don't fully understand what you mean. Only when I just switched to not buying meat it was a bit of a problem to find meals, but that's completely logical if you have no experience and only books with meat in the recipes.

Wrt India: I just bought a really nice Indian cookbook half a year ago, only vegetarian meals, and only the 'real' Indian food i.e. what indian people actually eat at home which depending on where you live is quite different from what restaurants offer as Indian.
They were "horror stricken" because the guest asked to pay, which was something totally unimaginable in terms of Chinese customs (not to mention the guest was a foreigner), especially in 2001. If the host didn't pay for a meal he'd lose all his face for all future interactions. Don't know what impression the OP got out of it but it sounded like you/the OP got some misunderstanding out of it.

Kaniko – Building Container Images in Kubernetes Without Docker
Okay so I wondered whether we can leverage XSLT in order to render the JSON without quirks mode. The idea is:

* We have an XSL stylesheet that ignores input and renders out the HTML contained in "#render"

* Along with the JSON file, we send a header `Link </stylesheet.xsl>; rel="stylesheet"; type="text/xsl"`

* We send the JSON with `Content-Type application/xml`

* Browser renders the HTML via the stylesheet and then the JavaScript takes over and renders the page without quirks mode

Sadly, this doesn't work because when the browser can't parse the JSON as XML, it stops processing and doesn't call the stylesheet :(

Thank you for calling this out. Too often people parrot the same stupid line about Obama and drone strikes without the context here. No, trump is not some dove who cares about minimizing suffering. He did more drone strikes, with more flimsy justifications, resulting in more deaths and destruction than any president in history including Obama.

Yeah, and trump has not started any additional wars. That is true. However, the constant saber rattling vs iran as well as the "bloody nose" option vs north korea (a premptive nuclear strike) were openly floated by Trump and his administration. Trump would go for war if he believed it would be good for him.

Honestly, trump may still be president if he had attacked iran... Trump's own miscalculations are ironically what kept him being so "dovish". Republicans talk a good game about being doves but they want a hawk. They might not admit it openly because dear leader didn't attack iran yet - but if he had - trump's base would claim that iran should have been invaded forever ago...

All the more reason that a traditional SQL database is well suited for many enterprise applications.
Beautiful design and strong features. I wonder if Cocoa and the like are really so important to devs that they opt in to program for Mac only. It would be amazing to have this desktop application also available on Mac and Linux and I acknowledge that it's a lot of fine tuning extra work, letting alone the neccessary choice for a cross-plattform toolkit such as Qt. I don't have a Mac but would use this prodct if it was available. The same is with many other beautiful Mac apps.
I last studied this stuff 20 years ago. What's the difference between ommitted variable and a confounding variable? Seems like a similar idea.

Is it that an ommitted variable isn't part of a causal chain of an included variable, and a confounder is?
