A quibble is that when I see kg, mass, I expect that it should be measured the same whether on Earth or on the moon. The answer should be in Newtons.

Our query to Wolfram Alpha should thus be:

I've been wanting to make a photography zine of some pictures I've taken over the last couple of years, but I'm at a loss for layout tools. I used inDesign in college, but I'm really not looking to dip back into Adobe, even if it's "only" $20 a month.

Does anyone know some open source layout tools?

You’ll be happy to know (I hope) that plenty of us (perhaps even the majority!) don’t have any intention to murder and rape, and it’s neither law nor religion which compels us to be minimally decent towards others: https://youtube.com/watch?v=AwebTX3rk3E
> I am yet to find a lucid and intuitive explanation of why we need both E and D for the electric field and B and H for the magnetic field.

E alone cannot describe fully state of dielectric, and B alone cannot fully describe state of magnetic medium. We need additional concepts, either charge/current densities, or polarization/magnetization, or D/H, in that order of importance.

In modern understanding, D and H are auxiliary concepts that are useful mainly in special but important cases they were historically devised for. Let's take D for example. If free charge is absent, Maxwell's equations imply very nice equation div D = 0. The equation for E is more complicated (includes bound charge density that is hard to measure, hard to relate to other things in the model and so is usually preferred to be ignored).

If in addition the medium is linear (a special but important case), D is a simple linear function of E ( there is no such simple relation to charge density or current density) so things such as the concept of EM energy in medium is possible, and wave propagation in crystals can be analyzed most elegantly. Sure, all could be analyzed in terms of E and rho and j which would be more "physical" but it is not the most elegant way to do it. It is like in mechanics: we can analyze complicated systems with constraints by writing down many equations involving constraint forces, but there are easier methods such as the Lagrangian.
Will wait for MAUI.
It is a brain teaser and you explained why
Note: In the following, I'll be using Lorentz-Heaviside units. For other unit systems, throw in factors of ε_0 or 4π as needed...

The reason for the introduction of D is that even though a medium may have no net charge, it's still made from protons and electrons, meaning the charge density will be nonzero. We call this the density of 'bound' charges ρ_b.

The medium is often modelled as consisting of tiny dipoles. If left to their own devices, the dipoles tend to align in such a way that the generated field largely cancels out.

Now, let's add additional charges via a density of 'free' charges ρ_f, yielding a total charge density ρ = ρ_f + ρ_b.

The bound charges will respond to the presence of the free charges, and the field they generate will no longer cancel out. We call this field -P, with P the electric polarization (the negative sign comes in through its definition as the dipole moment density of the dipole model).

Defining the electric displacement field as D = E + P, Gauss's law

div(E) = ρ

can be decomposed into

div(D) = ρ_f

and

div(P) = -ρ_b

In many cases, the response of the medium will be approximately linear, and polarization will be proportional to the field generated by the free charges, P = η·D. Note that the definition of P was such that for positive η, the actual field will be opposing D.

Equivalently, we can consider the response linear in the total field, P = χ·E if we introduce the electric susceptibility χ = η/(1-η).

For the displacement field, we get

D = E + P = (1 + χ)·E = ε·E

with ε the permittivity.

What's the point, you may ask? Simplification, as we can now just measure the linear response of the medium, instead of having to figure out the microscopic distribution of bound charges.
Imagine that, an EU regulation resulted in nothing but unintended consequences and close to zero benefit to anyone -- unless you count consulting gigs of course. Who could have possibly foreseen this!

All this talk about how the problem is lack enforcement is an absolute riot. Hey, I've got an idea! Let's write another law to address the lack of enforcement. Uh, even better, a third one to address the dark patterns!

(I'm very sorry for the low value comment but I've apparently got a condition where I am physically unable to resist the urge when the topic is rage inducing enough.)
“Meter” is multiply overloaded. A unit of distance. A thing that makes measurements. An adjustment to a rate of flow.

“Extrusion” is a process as well as the object resulting from that process.

“By referencing the meter and adjusting the metering valve during extrusion, we can create a precisely meter long extrusion.”

Micrometer is a unit of measurement and measurement device that measures in that range, but often measures in thousands of an inch, which are commonly called “mills”, which is also the act of a type of machining and the name of the machinery that does it as well as the name of a common type of cutting tool that goes into that machine.

“Put an end mill in the mill and mill off five mills.”

If you mean the strategy as the end nears, it should be what it should always have been: trust no single product or supplier, implement multiple layers of defence for what is important. Maintain in-house expertise.

If you mean the "Lessons (never) Learned"... Train developers better, build better software through validation and verfication, train management to understand technology and risk. Humans become increasingly incompetent as complexity is scaled.

It would be nice to know more about what you got out of HN (permanently life improving, I'd like some of that please?). To me, HN is an interesting distraction from deep work. Perhaps you have a better strategy of extracting value from HN, maybe you can share that.

I can't disprove "That is a highly filtered signal and equivalent to inside information.", but buying GME based on posts on HN to me (or selling), is absurd and is extremely far from "inside information". As someone who noticed the GME pump 1 week before its peak and spends time on HN, there was no way I was going to put money in GME or "ride it to the moon".

> Compare ITER (0.05 MW/m^3) or ARC (0.5 MW/m^3) vs. a commercial PWR fission reactor primary reactor vessel (20 MW/m^3). Stronger magnets don't save a reactor from this.

Stronger magnets absolutely would save the reactor from this, because for a fusion reactor of any given size the power density goes to at least the fourth power of the magnetic field. If we could have ITER, but with 40T in the on-axis toroidal field, it would have a power density of ~150 MW/m^3. This is of course ludicrous because the thermal output of 1.5TW would not be possible to contain, not even considering how the coils are supposed to be kept together. But this clearly show the path that also allows beating the square-cube scaling: You scale magnetic field up, and reactor size down, until you have reasonable power outputs from reasonably priced reactors.

There is potential future in fusion, but it specifically requires better superconducting magnets. ARC at least is research in the right direction of high-field superconductors, even if the REBCO magnets they are using are not quite up to the task of making a reactor that would be economically viable.

WordPerfect ran natively on x86 xNix.

I installed the SCO Xenix 386 version for several customers. This was a port of the text-mode codebase, roughly equivalent to WordPerfect 5 for DOS. (Generally regarded by WP cognoscenti as the best version: either 4.2 or 5.1 depending who you ask.) WordPerfect's legendarily rich printer support really came into its own for Xenix, which was poor on printer support.

WordPerfect for Linux made it to version 8, and was bundled with Corel LinuxOS, the first desktop distro to boast a graphical display-settings dialog, for instance. It was based on Debian with a heavily-modified version of KDE to make it more Windows-like.

There were free versions of Corel LinuxOS which have a free and slightly cut-down version of WordPerfect, and a paid version with a full unlimited WordPerfect. I own a boxed copy.

I have WordPerfect 8.1 running on Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit. There is no antialiasing, so it looks rather ugly, but it's blazingly fast.

It used to be a major pain to install, but there are new scripts as of last year to simplify it: http://www.xwp8users.com/

I am not aware of a native text-mode version of WordPerfect for Linux, but WordPerfect 6 for DOS (the final DOS version) runs very well under DOSemu.

That's misunderstanding the goal of teaching handwork. Handwork teaches you about the materials behavior first and foremost, which is absolutely essential knowledge when you want to do something industrial, unless you will be using a material that you can't work by hand, such as synthetics.

But if you want to use wood industrially having basic woodworking knowledge will teach you a lot of very useful stuff about the properties of wood, what you can and can not make, regardless of the manufacturing methods, the strengths and weaknesses of the materials and so on.

Ditto for metals, and to some extent this goes for glass and ceramics as well (though in manufacturing methods those come closer to working with plastics, the same goes for casting metals).
I can't help but feel that the accuracy of the mathematics misleads us as to our degree of understanding of the system.

What I have seen everywhere is that all the consent is based on violating one of fundamentals of GDPR Art. 7(4):

"It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent."

All those dark patterns to hide the rejection, keep some things ticked etc. are a complete waste of time. They all violate GDPR and are just another case for: no one has read the GDPR and is just copying everyone else.

It is just a waste of developers time, hiding rejection of consent, making it less understandable, etc. is just violating the GDPR. Google is violating it, Facebook is violating it,... but they have money for lawsuits, if you have it too, no problem, just copy them, if not, reconsider your tactics.

Bottom line, you are wasting time and effort to implement it, you are trolling the users with popups and at the end even the consents that you got is invalid and void. So why doing it?

Imagine the scenario, your beautiful website, your beautiful android application is being checked for a GDPR compliance based on lawsuit.

And you bring in your dark-patterned consent dialog (whoever the provider is, it doesn't matter, YOU are the controller, YOU are the one who needs to care for your visitors/users privacy and you will be fined if google ads are violating privacy by their scripts run from your application/site).

What do you think will happen, you will get pat on your back and someone one will say "you poor thing, you didn't understand, let me pardon you" or you will get an "Tommy Lee Jones" implicit facepalm [1]?

Same goes for all the sites that stuff the user id into the "consent/no consent" cookie where just setting "consent=yes" or "consent=no" would be enough. Again, just same thing, for avoiding storing one PII you create another PII (by GDPR, anything that is unique to a person is PII) and violate it by doing that. Just why. Dont bother. Wait for a law suit and that is it. Dont just waste more money with same result as not wasting it, rather label a jar with "GDPR Lawsuit" label and stuff the money wasted for illegal consent methods into the jar.

I agree with you. In the US, looking at the lowest 20% earning men; 42% of their sons are still in the lowest 20% compared to below 30% in Nordic countries. Looking at those going from bottom 20% to top 20%, the US is at about 8% compared to 14% in Denmark

Well, I work on a fusion research machine in an academic setting, so weekly seminars. I hear about startups from coworkers, but I’m not too interested in them because I am jaded about their prospects. I understand that they are considered moonshots by VC, but I still think their chance of success is 0%. I’d love to be proven wrong, but a lot of smart people have been working on this for a long time. I don’t think we’ll be shaking out any magical revelations anytime soon. Advancements in turbulent transport is where the important work lies imo.

Anything funded by DoE (which is a lot) necessarily has to keep all publications public. Just because you don’t have a subscription to Nuclear Fusion or IEEE Transactions on Plasma doesn’t mean you can’t learn about what’s going on for free. It’s unfortunately just a pain to find. Look for papers hosted on websites of projects at PPPL, ORNL, UWisc, IPP, etc.
Elitism and differentiation aren't the same, and in particular the latter doesn't imply the former (and likewise for elitism and exclusivity). You are right about exclusivity and differentiation being effective strategies and gave good examples for how they are useful.

I am usually impressed by the ability of folks on HN to disagree while keeping the conversation civil & interesting, especially when compared with other platforms. That said, I suspect that the demographics that frequent HN represent a pretty narrow slice of humanity, and like any subculture this narrow slice of humanity is subject cultural whims and various ugly forms of groupthink and gaps in perspective that any culture on Earth is. That's specifically what rubs me the wrong way about your previous comment about "civil facts-based conversation" (and framing of people on other platforms as "riff raff").

> Pretty much every Rocket-lake score is faster than Skylake across the board

Except for gaming, where rocket-lake is across the board slower. Which is important since gaming was Intel's last holdout prior to the arrival of Zen3. So if you're gaming this is worse, and if you're not gaming why would you go with this over a 3900x at basically the same price? Even verse skylake if you're doing productivity stuff a 10920x seems likely to be consistently faster thanks to 50% more cores (and way way more pcie lanes if you're into that)

The only reason to get this seems to be if the unique combination of avx512, no ECC, and only up to 8 cores is somehow ideal for your use case.

True for organists (for which I don’t know much about, but read on, as I believe the following applies to them as well)

The fact that the effects are laggy doesn’t mean you need to sync on them, you’re mostly listening whether the sound envelope is correct (e.g adjust for overshoot/undershoot a bend). Checking the output of effects only matters at timescales of whole beats/measures in terms of how you have to react, definitely not like keeping up with tempo, which has to be precise across the band.

You don’t get delay on drums, and exceedingly rarely so on bass, which is what you have to react agains efficiently, plus the instrument you’re playing provides its own subtle and not-so-subtle haptic feedback. On a guitar, this means the moment you pluck the chord is based on your internal clock synced by listening to the tempo giver (usually bass).
