This seems to have missed that I also talked about repairing cheap plastic Beats headphones recently. I don't really care if my headphones are made out of plastic or metal. I do care that they don't break easily. As a heuristic, for consumer products, those made out of metal are generally more durable than those made out of plastic. There are of course very strong plastics, used to make very well engineered devices, and also junk made out of metal. But as a stand in for all the details that would explain why one consumer widget is more durable than another, "it's made of metal not plastic" is pretty decent, and I'd argue well-understood by most people.

Worth noting that I'm an engineer, and have designed through to manufacturing things made out of both metal and plastic. I'm not unaware of the subtleties.
Couldn’t you just move the disk to another device and read it from there instead of risking data corruption or going through all the hassle of comparing checksums?

> Is the art more interesting to look about than to talk about?

That is an interesting perspective. I have always judged art by its aesthetics and its ability to elicit thought / conversation equally.

In my view art becomes shallow when it is purely visually appealing with no conceptual backing or purely conceptual with uninteresting visual components.
Yeah, tbf I'm not seeing this as viable for industrial level production. But it does seem like a good fit for individual farms, even in a personal backyard.
> My only wish is they would implement a "family" option where I could easily share my library of recipes with my girlfriend without having to share them one at a time.

My wife and I work around that by simply using the same paprika account for cloud sync...

Yes am one of the founders! Always a thrill to see comments like yours and hear how your friends went Construct 3!
In fairness, removing the context from art removes a lot its value. This would be akin to reading Animal Farm and ignoring its allegory about Communism and judging it purely on its merit as a story about some animals staging a revolution. This is also like reading Shakespeare in high school without one of those copies that explain a lot of the jokes and references that aren't obvious to the reading 500 years later.

Context is what gives art a lot of its power, the downside is that you need this context to understand it. I'm not a huge art person so I view most art superficially, but always enjoy when I get an opportunity to learn more.

Based on how easily the EFF resolved the problem by sending that notice to GitHub, it feels like this could be an easy problem to solve in the future..

The RIAA got effortlessly blocked here with a couple of lawyer man hours, which contained information gathered from a handful of really interesting blog posts.

I would say this entire story is something to celebrate, because it shows how easily a single person could stop this.

Mitchell L. Stoltz, Senior Staff Attorney at the EFF signed this letter, which probably took no more than handful of man hours to compile.

Pretty great roi.

Why must every new language use a completely unique syntax?

This is so tiring...why can't they just stick to syntax that everyone knows...each one has to reinvent random new syntax and destroy old conventions that people already know thus needlesly creating friction.
I think that is fine for a proof of concept.

The bigger reasonis, unless im missing something, this is not distributed in the sense most people use the term "distributed" in the context of search engines, so its not as interesting as everyone is making it out to be.
Depends on what you mean.

I’d like to be at or near the first flight of a new plane using a time-tested design.

Failure rates (more specifically hazard rates) in most components tend to increase with time (I.e., follow a time-dependent failure model like a Weibull distribution and not a constant rate model). The “bathtub” curve is usually more associated with components with a constant failure rate (where the ideal place is after infant mortality but before wear out).

There are two types of uncertainties here and I think we’re talking about different ones. One is a design uncertainty that can be mitigated using a well-used and understood design. The other is a component failure uncertainty which increases as service life increases. So the ideal place to be is in a well-vetted design with new-ish components.

>Imagine a race of ultra-advanced aliens were to give us technology that keeps us not only alive indefinitely, but robust and healthy, without disease. Just that one piece of technology. Not even weird weapons like antimatter bombs, etc.

I think that exactly what happened 2000 years ago. Unfortunately we just failed to understand most of the info and it got lost "in translation" due to communication barrier. The good thing is they did promise to return and try again when hopefully our development and ability to understand would get a bit more advanced.
>You should try DS9 when you're done with TNG. It's very different, but still great.

I'm going to recommend Babylon 5 for this as well. It's not nearly as utopian as Star Trek and focuses on many of the issues interacting with other people/groups/alien species that ST (DS9 does do this, in some respects) generally ignores.

It also doesn't ignore capitalism, greed and general bad behavior like ST mostly does.

Mitochondrial deficits in C9orf72-type ALS cause axonal dysfunction
Agreed and this has been proven already in greenhouse farming. There are many greenhouse farmers that grow crops that would otherwise be impossible to grow in their zone. One example is a orange tree grower in a very cold zone that can sell oranges to his local community at a tiny fraction of what it costs to ship oranges from California. He still makes a profit and the produce is fresh.

Here is a small scale example [1] but I can't fault this guy for keeping it small given his advanced age. I hope I have that much energy when I am older.

A couple of years ago I wrote some Python code which took advantage of this syntax. Then it turned it had to run in an environment without it.

It will never cover your whole diet, but it is a good way of growing some of it yourself. And that's not as time intensive as the other commenter says. If you use soil, have the lights on a timer and use auto-irrigation, it's pretty much hands free. A few weekends to set up, then months of marveling at how plant life works heh.
Though I agree with you, you'll notice that it is a feature explicitly provided by your web browser. Ergo, web devs will use it.

Loading a KV does not take CPU time, however, loading a KV into a variable does parse the content of the KV which does consume CPU time.

There's a really good summary at: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-employers-discri...

Political Discrimination Laws
A few states explicitly prohibit employers from making job decisions based on an employee’s or applicant’s politics. In California, for example, employees are protected from discrimination based on their political affiliations and activities. New York and the District of Columbia have similar laws. And, in Oregon and Wisconsin, employees may not be penalized for refusing to attend meetings intended to allow their employer to communicate its political or religious opinions.

Lawful Conduct Laws
A number of states have laws that prohibit employers from making job decisions based on an employee’s off-duty conduct and activities, as long as they are legal. In Colorado, for example, an employer may generally not fire an employee for engaging in any lawful activity while off duty and away from the workplace. If your state has this type of law, it will likely protect you from political discrimination.

However, given that candidates aren't employees yet, it's not clear if such laws apply to them.
Yes, it can.

The simplest way is with when/unless vertices which take a boolean input and some other inputs, and which either output the other inputs if the boolean input is true/false, or output nothing.
No “both siding” is the right amount.

The “sides” we ought to be considering are corrupt politicians and those of us who object to corrupt politicians.

Framing this as if there are two equivalent and corrupt sides effectively normalizes and excuses these corrupt pardons.
I own Sony 1000XM3s, and have since they were released. I've really enjoyed them. However, I like my AirPods Max much better, mostly because of their better UX around pairing/multiple devices and better onboard controls (digital crown vs. touch gestures).

My advice having gone through this: buy a low end, but well-reviewed DSLR with the kit lens, to start.

Learn the fundamentals of a DSLR (aperture, f-stop, and all that jazz).

Gradually grow from there as your abilities improve.

I thought I'd be buy a DSLR and take awesome photos and while I did by accident produce some stunning shots, there's a learning curve.

Also, if you have any interest in space, try astrophotography. It really helped me learn the challenges of ISO, focus, aperture, etc.
I don't think this meets most people's definition of a distributed search engine.

My point was that the natural procedure for computers is also more natural for humans, since it involves fewer special cases. Humans are better than computers at dealing with ad-hoc special cases but that doesn't make them natural.

Not necessarily - the laws of physics might merely make it likely enough to be common.
> Why is the lack of an app on the App Store or Play such a major hindrance?

Many of the things you can do in a native app are not possible with web APIs. That isn’t going to change because the companies writing web specs have a strategic interest in reserving access to coveted operating system features and APIs for their native app platforms, e.g. push notifications, fast graphics, media capture. Local storage is also being crippled under the guise of privacy - Safari now deletes local data after 7 days unless you add the website to your home screen.

I think a lot of these claims can make sense on paper, but often don't really add up to meaningful impact if actually implemented. Hypothetically, turning off your webcam reduces overall network traffic and would reduce the resources required to deliver adequate connection speeds. But in reality, modest reductions in internet traffic won't impact the datacenters and network infrastructures that have already been built. A more likely outcome is that network traffic is used for other applications.

Similar situations exist when pointing to the environmental impact of meat production, for example. Not consuming meat would reduce transportation of feed, and transportation accounts for almost all of the carbon emissions from meat production. But that only actually reduces emissions if we assume that the total amount of transportation would go down, rather than the same transportation capacity being used for other goods.
16 servers in a data center is probably a medium sized business, if not a larger small business that does zero virtualization. 16 servers in the cloud that are rightly sized sounds incredibly small.

The analogy is invalid. Spam is something nobody wants to receive, by definition. The people on Parler voluntarily wanted to communicate with each other but were prevented from doing so by a third party.

A formulation of freedom of speech that might be useful to contemplate is Article 19 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." Deplatforming by a third-party that isn't part of the conversation definitely runs afoul of the "seek (and) receive" part of that ideal.
