I'm interested in this sort of thing because I recently saw a Prop 65 warning on organic spinach purchased from Whole Foods. Apparently there are high levels of cadmium in soil that gets picked up by spinach. [1]

I have no idea how bad cadmium is, or how much of it is in spinach. But it's a real bummer to learn that a food that I thought of as very, very healthy (organic spinach) has a downside like this. Growing it in containers would be one way to get around soil issues like these, which are unfortunately becoming more common (see arsenic in rice).

I use an old Canon Rebel XTi (often with the 18-55mm kit lens) when I'm out hiking/trail running.

It is attached to my backpack or running vest shoulder strap using the Peak Design Capture Clip. To prevent bounce while running I use a simple velcro cinch strap.

While not particularly great at taking pictures with either a phone or camera, my camera photos are always much better quality than the ones I take with my phone, especially if I am looking at them on anything other than a phone.
"Linear Algebra," truth be told, involves a lot of high-rent concepts that are not related to computer graphics. Even midlevel concepts like eigenvalues seem to make no appearance. It would be a little more representative to say that computer graphics involved vectors and matrices.
“This team will help get … at least 100 million covid vaccine shots into the arms of the American people in the first 100 days,”

Perhaps it's interpretation but I read that as meaning the number starts at zero. Your example says "I would bring the DOW to 30k" which is different from what Biden said. He didn't say I will bring the vaccine to 100m he said I will get 100m people vaccinated in 100 days. While I can see how that could be interpreted the way you claim I also can and do read it the other way.

Either way I think at a minimum there should be attribution as 16.5m is a significant amount of people already vaccinated that the graph appears to give him credit for.
My best mate lives in Llanberis, right next to the Snowdon railroad and the waterfall. His drinking water comes from a pipe upstream.

It can be incredibly beautiful there. I've been many times. It can also be very bleak. Still, it will always hold a fond place in my heart.

I haven't made it over from Canada in a couple of years, but I'm sure I'll be back some day.
Thanks a ton, will definitely check those out as I've not yet seen any writing that explores this idea.
For the record: Lehrer-style "new math" was what I was taught at elementary school in Ontario in the 1980s. I know it was not what my parents had been taught, because they couldn't understand how we did subtraction. We did do some other bases (mainly binary, as I recall) as well as modulus.

I certainly had unusually able teachers.

We should plan for another such event should Oumuamua (or another) arrives again. I would find it fascinating to land on such a device where we can place a beacon on it and watch it through space. This may also help Oumuamua (should it be a probe) to also detect a friendly landing on its ship for the remote alien to detect.
In the US, "spread out" == suburbanization which is a huge failure failure on so many levels. (Bad for environment, causes loneliness and isolation, and plain less ROI because proximity creates the dynamic economy).

Unless we have a fully "post-growth" economy, we need more Urban core.
Computer graphics uses matrices to transform the points, but there isn't much else about it that uses linear algebra. 2D rasterization cleverly iterates over pixels. 3D rasterization does the same for triangles. The other parts of 3D are writing shaders (these days, usually modelling real-world materials), and rendering to textures for effects like reflections and shadows. Even though a main application of linear algebra is computer graphics, computer graphics uses very little linear algebra; the matrix part of your code is pretty small.

Languages are subjects to network effect and in the long term that is what will make or break them. Now, when one has to eventually deal with the wider public (just like when developing any given product addressed at public), it pays to consider its feedback. I understand that he is experienced and that most likely he knows better than what he might get from such feedback. We'll see how this turns out.
Interesting idea.

But worth remembering. A huge chunk of the world works on Sunday. E.g Middle East has its week days Sunday to Thursday.
Thanks for sharing, had no idea about the dabbawalas but that's fascinating. Definitely I think the demand and supply patterns of such a system have found their equilibrium over the past 115 years. Which is probably what makes it work and makes it resilient to all the societal changes we've experienced since then.

Much harder to replicate something like that on a shorter time frame of 6 months!
I'm considering learning more vim besides "esc /insert and :q :w" and this might be a great start.

As an emacs user it's frustrating having to install emacs to do some config editing whereas in my experience vim is included everywhere. e.g. my router.
That's not correct. The reporting was that Thiel and Luckey lobbied Trump to get a pardon for Levandowski.

If you create an index, you have to pay at least 2,50€ per hour it runs.

That's something I didn't know, but will know be using.
The only iron clad option is to not let the genie out of the bottle. Look at how we got around the idea of torture, for example. (Maybe it was useful, maybe it wasn’t, but despite having restrictions against it, we found a way to skate the periphery, now imagine something less controversial like improving lives through reduction of violence enabled by TIA or the Chinese alternative “Social Credit Score”.
We just don't resolve detail to that temporal degree. You can't really "listen between" the periods of a 100 Hz sound, so being unable to recognize a 10 ms event preceding a much louder one is expected.
That's nice! Is is gradually typed or just untyped?
I'm okay with not coercing someone into something. As long as it's a choice, I see no harm in that. Although ultimately we need to make sure that people are actually educated enough to make an informed choice, and aren't instead so steeped in their incorrect views of reality that they can't make any progress...

What I'm saying can definitely be abused or misinterpreted if someone wants to justify atrocities, but that's their negative interpretation and their choice. The positive interpretation here would be that I'd prefer a choice for anyone who wants to be Amish, as long as being Amish doesn't mean that you're completely trapped in that society if you're born into it. Some ideologies trap the mind.
Rhetological Fallacies
"It’s a staggering success while it lasts; by the late 1860s, the average family owns upwards of twenty horses. The empire these nomads build is rapacious; more than once, the Lakota are forced to move westward because they have looted the neighboring tribes out of existence and are therefore out of farmed food. Over several more generations, the Lakota shift fitfully west, until a series of visions reveals the Black Hills as their final home."

Funny but I have never seen genocide committed by white folk called a staggering success. If a white person said God gave white people Utah until the end of time we would think they are nuts, why is it any different when a native says the same?
Why is this title using the parent-to-kids term 'veggies', is vegetables outdated or something?
I think it is a fallacy that “if you only tried it more often, then you would like it” or the sibling fallacy “if you tried the absolute best, then you would like it”.

I have personally experimented with this, with various products I don’t like. For example, I have repeatedly tested Manchego cheese, expecting to eventually grow to like it (I love a wide variety of cheeses), but somehow I still don’t like it. The same with some forms of music that others may love which I have tried to appreciate, but I just never grow fond of the genre.

That said, perhaps a counter-example: I have found that at my favourite restaurants (more than one cuisine), I can pick anything on the menu, and I will like it even though it may a dish or contain an ingredient I would usually dislike... but maybe that is because a seasoning/sauce matters more to me than the base ingredient? Or I’ve found a chef with similar taste profile to me?

I am now old enough to give up more quickly on things others love but I don’t. I have also learnt that some things/experiences are not worth trying even once, regardless that others recommend them.

I'm not exactly critical of vertical farming, but I've noticed that the stories always seem to gloss over what works well and what doesn't. Plenty™, for example, does arugula and kale, but their stories say "veggies" in a way that leads you to believe it's working for a much broader set of "veggies".

Verticalfield, featured in this story, has pictures of tomatoes, and mentions mushrooms and strawberries. But on their website, the FAQ says ""Vertical Field can grow up to 200 varieties of crops, such as leafy greens, herbs, and lettuces". Again, arugula, kale, some herbs, etc.
Just for reference, the pair is spelled "yea or nay" rather than "ya or nay".

Free software and open source are different marketing strategies for the same concept. The most commonly understood meaning for both terms is the same, from the very moment the Open Source Initiative was created.

Here's a list of elections that occurred in 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elections_in_2020

If voters disagreed with quarantine measures, they were free to vote those governments out.

In general, people in representative democracies don't vote on every single government decision. Voters elect representatives who vote on issues. I don't see why temporary health restrictions due to a pandemic would be any different.
Librem 5 Update: Shipping Estimates and CPU Supply Chain
>Funny, that's how I feel with Windows and Mac.

Based on...? Apple is pretty straightforward: they support hardware until they don't. And they're quite explicit about ending support and it's almost always a major release. You might be able to hack support after that, but I've literally never had it be a "toss-up" about when Apple was or wasn't supporting their own hardware.

As for Windows... I've got a 10 year old 2600k based desktop that runs the latest version of windows flawlessly. I guess if you go back 20? 30? 40? years you might find something that can't run the latest version of windows, but you're going to be down a really, REALLY obscure rabbit hole. I can't say I ever recall it being a coin toss, it was about 10 seconds on google of finding or not finding a driver.

Linux on the other hand... the support of hardware is awesome, but determining if something is or isn't supported is generally an afternoon of reading mailing lists.

I'm the minority but as someone who uses PaperWM (horizontal scrolling tiling wm) 16:9 is ideal for me

But I get it, not for most people but then again my desktop is 21:9

>16:9 screens are cramped

I think this depends on the screen size. Small screen, yes, because you mostly use apps full screen. Large screen, no because you can run side-by side
Also at least WebMD appears to agree with my interpretation as they talk about 1 million doses a day for 100 days.

It was just most convenient choice. Good airport connection and as you said it's rating is quite high. Guess the language would be the most annoying thing. Other choices would be Malta or Cyprus regarding taxes, but they are far away and I think the cultural match would be in Swiss higher.
I feel there's a moneymaker here - create a popular open source extension, sell it off when you get a good deal, fork the code and let everyone find out the old version is "evil".
Apple's poor support for Linux on Mac hardware may reverse if the company gains data center ambition for the M1. Partnering with a cloud provider (maybe Microsoft?) to deliver seamless Linux deployment on M1 would be significant...
“I created a browser and Netflix blocked it” isn’t as baity a headline.
The trend of our species has been to become more moral and nice to one another. Read up on how humans viewed one another 1,000 years ago or 10,000 years ago and see the trend. There's no reason to believe or to ONLY believe that we'd be a violent and evil species if we became space-fairing and had FTL travel. In such a far future, I'd like to choose to work towards and to think about having a society that is even more moral than what it is now.
Tourism is a blessing and a curse. If you’re content with your way of life, you’ll probably prefer the status quo over change that causes “gentrification” and other maladies of progress.
What I get from reading this is, "never sudo <bin> anything you don't absolutely need to". Or in other words, always adhere to the Principle of Least Privilege.

As a sysadmin, we often just give ourselves ALL:ALL in sudo, but we shouldn't. We definitely shouldn't give it to other users.
Do governments put every single decision they make to a general vote? You're confusing representative democracy with direct democracy. How many countries postponed or cancelled elections due to the pandemic? Only those would be considered to have "bypassed democracy".

Doesn’t this work out to just mean our electronics grid needs to become more carbon neutral, especially in places that house internet infrastructure and data centers?

It doesn’t seem like “use less YouTube and video chat” is the most impactful answer here.

Also, the comparison to 1 gallon of gas is a bit disingenuous when a car probably uses 2 or more gallons of gas when driving continuously for an hour (60mph, 30mpg)
Red Hat was not expecting the reaction to killing CentOS.

>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.

It's not clear that the RIAA needed to spend any real lawyer man hours making the request, I don't think a designated agent needs to be a lawyer but even if they do they just send a form letter.
This overloads the backslash \().

Which is usually used for escaping characters. Like, \n for new line.

So, you may end up with code like:

print(“Hi. \nMy name is \(name).”)
That’s neat. Inspired me to give it another go. Thanks
I agree they shouldn't be in prison. They should be dead. One of them is.
It is the primary training method for Pytorch and Tensorflow models and thus essential for training artificial neural nets (such as AlexNet, weird they would randomly pick an architecture). It is often used for non-negative matrix factorization, non-linear regression, the basis for most modern machine learning algorithms.

Here is the problem, people herd to communities that embrace their own ideology and beliefs. This has only gotten exponentially worse in the last four years.

Conservative / libertarian ideas are mostly downvoted, oppressed, blasted, brushed away on left leaning sites and left leaning ideology the same on conservative / libertarian sites. The echo chamber and mob mentality problem.

I don't think it's possible anymore to have thoughtful, intelligent political discussions online with both sides. There is just to much standing on the pedestal of moral political and ethical superiority.

>Still, I (and most I guess) wouldn't use it to watch Netflix over individual apps.

If the experience is so much better why are Apple scared to let other browsers into the app store?

Phones are general purpose computers for the majority of the world's population, exercising such authoritarian grip over what a user can do with the device is very depressing to see being defended.
>What you are asking for regarding slowing the performance of background JS is something browsers already do

As I wrote:

>>(Yes I'm aware that JS timers, etc operate at reduced frequency for unfocused tabs. I'm talking about stopping them entirely.)

>Making that behaviour more aggressive seems like it is liable to cause significant problems to the user experience with minimal benefits. E.g. background media playback would likely be broken, notifications, etc.

I want none of those things from the "suspended" tabs.

>Whereas you could simply use bookmarks instead of open tabs to get the same effect

How? Do you mean I would load the bookmark into a new tab when I wanted to visit it? That not only has the same problem that I described for discarded tabs (have to wait for a page load), but is even worse because it loses all the context that discarded tabs do retain. Not to mention the annoyance of maintaining bookmarks for arbitrary tab groups that I just happen to have open.

The assumption that freed capacity would be gobbled up by other consumption (100% of it) is a strong one that I wouldn't agree on. Reducing consumption (e.g. internet, meat) means that less would be produced in the long run, thus it does have a positive impact on the climate. We can talk about details or exceptions but the general idea that less consumption = less consumption [sic] = less climate warming is firm. I think the greater point is that we have to look at a long time horizon with long lasting changes to really see this, that's why we as humans have trouble implementing these changes.
Nikon FM2.

I like that it's fully mechanical and built to a higher standard (and with higher quality materials) than cameras today. I enjoy film photography because it imposes a constraint on the creative process and makes you consciously pause before shooting. I find that without such constraints it's too easy to take a million garbage photos. For mundane everyday use I have an iPhone.

If I were to get something else it'd be a medium format camera with similar build quality and reliability.

It's worse than frustrating, it's damaging for Red Hat.

It doesn't matter much to me anymore, I've already migrated my small business internal server that was running Centos 7 to Debian. We had basically just a fileserver, FTP box, and a couple VMs for some time clock, wiki, and building security systems, so nothing we were running yet was CentOS specific.

But in case it can be useful to you, please share with your team that the writing they're putting on the wall looks pretty bad. Knowing I'd have to update eventually, I just took the safe option, which is no longer any distro controlled by Red Hat. I didn't want to leave our server in a state where we could be building dependencies on a platform that was likely to be pulled out from under us, and while RHEL isn't too expensive to just buy for one server, and we might have qualified for something free or something you've not yet announced, my test was surprisingly painless and the migration was easier than I anticipated.
The problem is that in the past you had corroborating evidence for gods, demons, angels, witches, etc. until "aliens" became the socially acceptable "unexplained thing."

If those "interpretations" weren't correct, there is very little evidence that "aliens" is a correct interpretation and that future generations won't have a different one.

In addition, the one thing that we now know scientifically is that "first hand observation" is notoriously unreliable.
I still find this view of programming languages to be too limited. It's still very C-focused, in the sense that it seems to assume every language is trying to do the same things C is in roughly the same ways C does it.

Yet this just isn't the limit of computers or programming languages. Consider Prolog or a Lisp. What meaningful abstraction do they provide to have a deep connection with a block of contiguous memory used to store multiple same-sized elements? I'm sure you'll find such things ultimately used if you go deep enough, but it's not a meaningful part of the abstraction the languages provide.

And if we can do away with the entire concept of a set of same-sized data stuffed into a contiguous block of memory, what need can there be to adhering to considering indexes as memory offsets?

The incredible amount of (possible) separation between programming languages and the exact way in which such programs are executed provides an extremely valuable and deep freedom in how programmers can think about and address problems and their solutions. I don't see how insisting that we minimize any possible differences between language abstractions and common hardware practice gains us anything.
