Halon is not really created anymore. If you have an halon fire suppression system the only way to get recharges is to get it recycled from other systems that are no longer using it.

It's fun when someone accidentally dumps the halon system because they pressed the wrong button, and now halon has to be sourced for replacement.
I personally spend a lot more time at my own machine than at anybody else's, so the rare muscle memory fault while deep in SSH bothers me a lot less than uncomfortable defaults.
This sounds to me like one of those ideas that's great in theory but real-life situations are too fragile to make it work. Suppose you're trying to copy something out of the window with a long-running process. You select some text and then press Ctrl-c, but whoops your hand jerked and you tapped c twice. Process killed. Or as you moved your hand to hit the shortcut, whoops you bumped the trackpack and clicked, deselecting your text, and Ctrl-c killed your process.

Obviously either of these would rarely happen, but every time I use a terminal in macOS I end up accidentally killing a process because I can't keep the modifier keys straight, so I'm sensitive to introducing the issue on Linux. (On Linux, I have the opposite problem, which is that I try to Ctrl-shift-c in Firefox, which opens the dev tools.)
Seems like Netflix is doing too much of those wokeism genre.
Though those were more about government censorship rather than a private bookseller deciding what books to stock.
There is probably more DC power stuff now than there has ever been at any time in history.

In the past 20 years with the growth of ISPs, telecom, internet infrastructure stuff, a huge percentage of it runs entirely from giant -48VDC battery banks, rectifiers, bus bars, fuse panels and distribution systems. In general as you get to the size of really big important core routers, DWDM systems and such, a lot of them don't even exist in AC powered versions.

The difference is that it's normal 3-phase AC power distributed to the building, and turned into DC within it.

The origin of this is within the Bell system and other similar legacy telco equipment manufacturers (Northern Telecom, etc), all of which standardized on -48VDC power systems more than 65 years ago.

It is just not apparent to most people how common and widespread -48VDC stuff is, since unless you work at the OSI layer 1 in the telecom business, you'll rarely have a reason to lay eyes on it in person.

Because you are taking the government criticism of other countries at face value. This is not a case of a well intended but barely self-aware organization or even some ideological zealots not giving pause to its enemies. This is just propaganda, pure and simple, they dont give a damn about the Uighurs, freedom of the press or democracy in general, they have an economical and geopolitical adversary who is getting stronger year after year so they will attack it. That boogeyman role has been played by Spain by France by Nazi Germany by the USSR by Japan,by Lybia,by Iraq,by Iran and now by China,For the powerful a foreign enemy is perfect:

- It gives justification to obscene spending on the military

- It justifies imperialist actions which violates international law

- It blinds the local populacy with "patriotism"

- It allows to create draconian local policies which would not be accepted in "peaceful times"

- It protects the government because any local or foreign criticism can be discarded by using _whataboutism_ about the enemy du jour.

Oldest trick in the book.
This is what I have done since the original snooper's charter came out. It is not perfect -- I am sure that GCHQ etc have got pretty good at correlation attacks -- but by encrypting _everything_ BT, Virgin Media etc. will just get a list containing exactly one IP and a month-long connection time.

Secondly, I really recommend Andrews & Arnolds [1] as an ISP if you can only get ADSL. I don't use them at home because I need the bandwidth afforded by cable -- for which there is one supplier in my town, Virgin (bah!) -- but AAISP supply my mother's home and are genuinely amazing. She had some issues due to BT and they let me raise an issue via IRC; the few times I have had to get in touch with them it's been an absolute pleasure; they disclose their support as "xkcd/806 compliant". Their owner also is a strong campaigner for digital privacy.

Wait why would recording be required for regulations? Is that a law??
You would want to use a non-water based fire suppression system.
Weird decision. My experience is that people who read and whose opinion is easily influenced are a very small group which, among others, includes my conspiracy theorist uncle.

I'm assuming of course that the underlying reason to remove them is to not display such ideas to the public.

Then again few neo-nazis actually read Mein Kampf because they well, don't read - especially something that's almost 400 pages long (or 700 in the non-abridged version).
That's funny, when I googled it the first result was showing a 5 minute prep time and 15 minute cooking time. I've noticed that with Indian food there's many ways to skin the cat. If you start with fresh spinach you'd have a different prep time than with frozen spinach.
>If you think you're smart enough to not fall for that

What? Seriously? There's nothing to fall for here.

You should never trust an inbound call. If your bank calls you, you take their information, immediately hang up, find the banks phone line and call that number back yourself.
I want to chip in here with a rant of my own because I absolutely fucking hate this feature. The idea that something I think of as a passive action—selecting text—can destructively alter my clipboard makes my skin crawl, and it's baffling that anyone thinks it's a replacement.

The thing is it's the default on iTerm2 on the Mac, so every time I set it up I spend a week thinking "why is my clipboard always completely full of shite" before I remember and turn it off.

(YMMV, you may like this, you may actually have proper clipboard management, and so on. I didn't say this was a logically consistent rant.)
From what I remember, I wasn't able to rebind the function (fn) key without using Karabiner. Has that changed recently?
My old company's DC uses FM200 gas which puts fires out without asphyxiating anyone (I'm assuming the experience would be a respiratory workout for anyone caught in it, but it would have cost £20000 to test).

Isn't this almost exactly the use-case for a VPN: one well-defined snooping adversary? If one _assumes_ that the VPN provider doesn't lie (or at the very least is independently audited) and has a server beyond your jurisdiction then isn't moving the root of trust away from your un-trustworthy ISP the right thing to do?
Racism is about institutions, power structures, and epistemology, it's not about youtube channels.

An internet rando blabbing to their cellphone camera isn't what makes median black family wealth 1/8th that of their white counterparts (https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/disp...).

It's institutions and power structures which creates that.

For example, speculative home values in whiter neighborhoods lead to higher home prices and thus higher property taxes and thus better funded schools and so the racist-system continues.

Nobody is explicitly being racist there. Speculating in the white neighborhood is genuinely a better investment yield. Just like with investing in Javanese over Sudanese neighborhoods in Indonesia or Croat over Serb towns in Croatia.

The human created systems, the cultural milieu and its structures, they lead to racist outcomes. It's all artificial. That's why passing works (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_(racial_identity)).

Realizing it's mostly cultural just like it is with say the Hmong and Lao people, where you can just change the clothes, grooming and mannerisms and our minds recategorize, that's the radical leap for people. There's physical differences but they're more imagined than real and can often be short-circuited. Our collective minds have an invisible override switch.

When people are being racist, they have an epistemology that the different outcomes is a natural result of racial hierarchies. They use these human created systems as their empirical evidence and not realize this logic is a self-reinforcing system.

It's like when police departments disproportionally patrol and focus on one group, find more things in that group and use it as evidence that their suspicions were well-founded. At different times the supposed more criminal groups have been everything from the roma, suffragists, gays, 7th day adventists, rock and roll fans, jewish people, Chinese immigrants, jehovah's witnesses, Catholics, italians... It's all arbitrary. The closed logic loop it perpetuates, that's racism.

> How could one formulate an experiment that would enable a research group to determine whether the higher suicide incidence rate in individuals identifying as transgendered be attributed to 1) underlying mental illness or 2) despite performing surgery and therapeutic measures that enables these individuals to fulfill their own personal desires in these areas, are still not satisfied (either based on social or internal psychological pressures) or 3) something else?

One could not, because the concept of “mental illness” is not, as such, defined in terms such that any phenomenon can be empirically validated to be a manifestation of it. Particular named mental illnesses are more or less defined, but there is no underlying rubric by which those definitions can be validated as mental illness.

The UK has never been especially supportive of human rights; it has a tradition of a sort of live-and-let-live native libertarianism, which is why we don't have ID cards (+), but it also has the tradition of imperialist repression techniques which means that the public are broadly supportive of the military shooting people in the street if they think they might be terrorists.

That's awesome.

Well, while it certainly looks (and feels) a bit like a cliché, I find myself recommending AWS for such a purpose. Common issues will be a single StackOverflow answer away. The platform (infra, byzantine pricing model) is at least well documented. The company has a reputation for making expensive honest accidents go away :).

This being said, exploration and _actually having to dive into something_ can provide insight and understanding that just doesn't get mentally registered when on the mainstream path (because it all just works).

And as another commenter said, you get 10TB of traffic. Which is hands-down insane. At 450Mbps too. (Boggles) (AWS is 1GB/mo, albeit at 1Gbit.)

Can I do a degree without prerequisites if I am wealthy?
I was a high school dropout and now a wealthy businessman.

I am interested in doing a BSc in physics remotely, but I do not need this degree or credits.

I am looking for knowledge.

Almost all universities have prerequisites. I hate wasting my time on a foundation course.

I am able to pay 5x price what they charge for the degree.

How can I approach a university to do what I'm looking for?
Many timber stores can cut the material on customer's request, so you probably don't even need the carpenter - just order parts, to size, and bolt them together.
The name "form recognizer" is perhaps poorly given, considering it can detect much more than forms (eg invoices, receipts). You can create your own custom models as well.

> The result (if the article is correct) would be a game with much fewer goals, probably boring.

Maybe boring, but maybe not. Football does really well at attracting attention globally, and they only have a handful of goals in a match at most. Sometimes even zero.

(Germany scoring seven goals against Brazil in the World Cup a while ago was big news.)
Tailwind can do what you're describing via the @apply function.

Just write your CSS selector to target whatever you'd like, then use `@apply tailwind-classes md:other-tailwind-classes` inside the brackets.

This way, it's just a set of shorthand tags that replace the long-form CSS props, but it's still useful for quick design work.
Thank you for your input. So it seems we agree, this kind of piece is not very empowering. For some reason I presumed that was the point.

You may be right; it's been a long time since I read A Fire upon the Deep or A Deepness in the Sky.
That doesn't explain why they think that that detail is germane to this conversation.

I bet they wouldn't have a problem with someone saying "I'm ok with my spit in my mouth but not your spit." I get to decide what goes in my mouth, and you get to decide what goes in your mouth, yeah? I don't care whether you want your spit to be in my mouth. We both get to decide for ourselves.
I have never had carpal tunnel-like symptoms yet, though I just realised I've only used left ctrl for the past 10 years. I'll definitely be more mindful of that. Do you have any more resources on avoiding common typing pitfalls, or specific wrist movements one should avoid while typing? Should capitalising your sentences be a two-hand action as well, considering I normally only use left shift?

Arch Digest is a terrible place to read about anything related to art or design.

Judd was a seminal artist, and has some fantastically sharp essays(0), which are well worth reading. I agree that the chairs are not practical, but conceptually I think they're brilliant. Having such a pure vision (of reducing an object to its most essential form) and executing on it, I think is admirable. I think you're missing the point if you approach Judd from a practical position, and disregard the value of his ideas.

Which bad ingredients is butter chicken covering up? From what I recall the origins are to use yesterday's leftover tandoori chicken in restaurants. In which case it is reusing ingredients instead of throwing them away, not covering anything up.

Funny how it worked and people try to recreate that flavor when they don't have leftover tandoori chicken.

It also seems that once you festoon the laptop with replacements for its components - monitor, keyboard, mouse, disk drives, camera, mike, etc., what have you got? An expensive desktop that performs poorly.

> repairs

I've replaced a couple screens on laptops. It's a fair amount of work, and in the meantime your laptop is dead while you await the arrival of the new screen. I keep a spare monitor around, and when a monitor dies, I just switch to the spare, and order a new spare. The same for many components, like keyboards, etc. I can't afford my machine to be out of action for days.

When I buy a new desktop, I really just buy a new mobo, CPU, and graphics card. The rest I re-use from the old desktop. It makes such upgrades pretty cheap.

> I'll just say if you want to do Common Lisp, vim works fine, so don't let that hold you back from pursuing your interest.

I agree. For those who are interested in using Vim as their development environment for Common Lisp, I have written a detailed comparison between Slimv and Vlime here: https://susam.in/blog/lisp-in-vim-with-slimv-or-vlime/

And for those who are willing to start Common Lisp development using Emacs, there is Portacle which is a really quick way to set up a working environment with a few clicks. There is also https://github.com/susam/emacs4cl that I wrote to offer as a quick-starter DIY alternative for those who want to use vanilla Emacs and want to configure it themselves without wasting too much time.
I've been struggling with something similar, although I think that in my case it's tunnel vision and the impostor syndrome.

I often get completely lost in the minute details, and find it really, I mean, really hard to move on to more important things in the bigger picture.

Then, just getting stuff out and sharing it with people becomes a chore as soon as I'm done with the more difficult parts of work.

Things I've tried:

- follow TDD and XP, Design Thinking/HCD (iterative methodologies that allow you to slice problems differently, split them into smaller chunks)

- Build smaller products/tools (most of my apps are really, really tiny, an old example: http://facade.photo)

- Build a tool to separate writing from editing (https://sonnet.io/posts/ulysses/)-I've been using it every day for the past 1.5y

- Force taking regular breaks, even if I'm focused, to regain context (pomodoro)

- therapy (I got to the point where building a calculator in JS took me a week, which made me realise that maybe there are some deeper problems at play here)

I was at the point where I would run courses on having this high-level perspective: XP, pairing, workshops on Human Centred Design, and ironically, I find all of that paralysing in my solo work. So, I guess the last point from the list (therapy, taking time off) seems to be the most helpful one. I still find all of that extremely frustrating, almost destructive.

Side note: either Clean Coder or Pragmatic Programmer criticises being "in the zone"/the state of flow precisely for the reason you've mentioned. I recommend reading both, although I think the approach to the craft they describe is to put it mildly, draconian.

Especially the latter's "have a point" and "get to the point".
> "it's only a matter of time until Lithium chemistry batteries are available and that also increases the risk of fire."

Not all Li-ion chemistries are equal. In particular, the increasingly popular LiFePO4 (LFP) technology has much higher energy density, longer lifespan, improved environmental characteristics, and similar if not better safety characteristics compared to lead-acid.

(Besides sharing lead-acid's very low risk of fire, LiFePO4 also contains no corrosive acids which could damage and short equipment if a leak were to occur.)

This seems directly in opposition to my experience of Tailwind. Assuming you are using some sort of component based setup, like React, Tailwind mercilessly enforces consistency. You can't just use padding-left: 10px in one place and padding-left: 12px in another. Same goes for font-sizes and everything else. You're locked into the design system to such a degree that its a lot of work to deviate from the standards. Couple this with components that ensure the proper reuse of style and markup and everything is consistent everywhere.

If you are working on more of document project where markup reuse through components or partials isn't available then I could totally see your design elements like buttons or cards becoming inconsistent but your spacing, font-sizes, z-indexes etc. will still follow the system.
I think this is something that has to be pointed to you. I grew up eating Indian food and it never crossed my mind. Came to the US, suddenly Indian food was smelly and looked unappetizing because that was the popular opinion.

Teaspoons should not be used for eating dessert. You default to a dessert fork, and use a dessert spoon (larger than a teaspoon) for things like ice-cream.
