> That doesn’t prevent someone from being able to impersonate you.

But why is that a problem? If somebody wants to get notified of replies to my comments, let them.

I understand why you need a unique token so that collisions don't happen, but that token doesn't need to be one-to-one unique with Hackernews usernames. It's OK to have two unique tokens that are separate from my session cookie that point to me as a user, and to have the "read" status be per-token, not per-user.

More to the point, why does this read status and everything need to be stored serverside for a browser extension? Where are you putting this information where you're worried about collisions with random internet users, why have it leave the browser at all?

You don't need a unique token if you're not storing everything in a centralized location off-device, the browser profile that's using the extension is itself the unique token. Why does anything need to be transmitted anywhere? Let the extension store the read statuses locally on my device, then there's zero chance of them colliding with anybody else's installation. Even if someone turns on push notifications, the push API already sends you a unique, randomized device ID/key. What's the reason why you can't push an RSS-style feed out to the device using that ID?
The efficiency of "refactoring" in Factorio is like refactoring code using notepad while typing with your toes and you're only allowed to compile the source once you're done. Which is to say: on a completely different level!
Freedreno didn't come from Qualcomm and I've been through two Qualcomm based phones since it was started. Last time I checked (and I did give up a couple years ago) they barely had framebuffer support on a couple SoCs I didn't have.
Europe could be… Europe's responsibility.

South Korea is plenty rich and advanced enough to field a modern military, and outclass its neighbor.

Beyond TSMC, why is Taiwan's defense America's responsibility?

I'm fine with having a big military budget, but 'because how else is the US supposed to shovel its children on top multiple grenades simultanaeously for the good of every other developed nation' is a poor sales job.

I use different methods, but the most important one is an old Fujitsu Snapscan automatic feeder scanner that scans pages by both sides at the same time.

I bought that in order to OCR books(destroying them cutting them with a rotary disk saw) long time ago but I use it today for digitalizing all my notes.

If you don't care about destroying your notebooks, it is the best solution. I did that with my University notebooks because I needed to access them in work after University and travel a lot so I don't want the bulkiness of carrying around 20 kilos.

No need to flatten, orient, color correct anything, tens of pages per minute.

Because of the scanner for my own notes I use single sheets of paper and high quality aluminum clipboards and Staedtler 432 M color pens that last for more than a year or intense work. Way cheaper than a tablet with stylus.

I digitalize old books today that need special care and could not be destroyed, archival material like diaries from wars. For that I use an array of cameras and a projector and sophisticated software to flatten it. But that is expensive and needs lots of work.

If you are interested on that, just google DIY book scanner, but I recommend the automatic feeder scanner if you can.
I read every single day and would recommend doing that to anyone. Especially to us folks that is sitting in front of a screen all day long. ;-)

I do not see any issue with Red Hat or other companies cutting funding to FSF (for good or bad reasons). FSF and Stallman currently are just a source of bad press currently.

I personally feel that Stallman would be considered toxic by today's standards of behaviour and is overall a liability to the Free Software movement (which itself is mostly irrelevant today for the average Software Developer or end user).

Despite this I find myself extremely appalled by the overall discourse by those pushing for the FSF board's resignation. A common theme among the complaints seem to be that someone in a leadership position should be held to higher standards but I am seeing many among those who have signed the rms-open-letter along with other supporters who seem to be prominent in the Software community engaging in extremely toxic rhetoric (on Social media) towards any disagreement with their opinion such as calls for firing/not hiring those who may have different opinions, accusations of pedophilia, misogyny, transphobia and other prejudice.

Supporters who say they just want Stallman out of leadership positions seem happy to like/amplify the above positions.

I gave the linked snippets (and a bit more) on Stallman's websites a read. Stallman seems like a man completely out of touch with the state of things today especially those related to morality. But it seems to be a stretch to attribute deliberate malice.
I generally try to avoid anything with a Mediatek or Broadcom wireless chipset, Atheros seems to be the more stable of the bunch.

It's amazing how much less of something you use when you don't have basically an endless, cheap supply of it. You tend to conserve a lot more because you know it's finite and will run out if you use too much.

What exactly "Epstein apologia" do you mean?
> Is there really a tradeoff between latency and throughput?

Assuming that the path under test latency is small to begin with, increasing buffering from reasonable to large to absurd generally provides a tiny and rapidly diminishing throughput increase.

Part of the reason bufferbloat exists is because of norms in equipment testing focusing on throughput (esp for single/few tcp streams) and drops while ignoring other effects.

For the occasional single static page website I sometimes need to have hosted for a domain, even Blogger does a pretty good job.

Make a new blog on Blogger, switch to classic theme, edit the template, delete everything in that box and cut/paste your HTML. Images can be hosted by making a new blog entry, uploading images to it and saving it as a draft. Once you disable the Blogger top navbar, the theme as a single page website is pretty transparent and works well.
Years ago (linux-kernel 2.6 days) I found Red Hat was somewhat at odds with FSF values.

Red Hat does abide by the letter by the GPL by releasing source as legally required, but in a form that's inconvenient to work with:
https://lwn.net/Articles/430098/

Apparently you could access the individual patches through your Red Hat subscription, but the conditions of the subscription prohibited you from sharing them.
https://lwn.net/Articles/430132/ (see pzb's comment).

Red Hat/IBM is (presumably) doing what they believe will lead to continued commercial success in our current environment, I'm OK with that. But I don't really consider their condemnation of the FSF as anything of note beyond the loss of a donation.
> Google would likely make it a priority to drop the Wikipedia blurbs, either without replacement, or with data sourced elsewhere.

That's an odd way of phrasing things. If Wikipedia were to take away free access to their data, Google wouldn't be dropping Wikipedia, Wikipedia would be dropping Google. This line of thinking "you took this when I was giving it away for free, but now I want to charge for it, so you are expected to keep paying for it" is incorrect.

Lyrics “I Got Love”
It's definitely a lifestyle/mindset and convenience thing. I can make a delicious, more nutritional mac and cheese from scratch in about the same time as from a box and I often do. It requires my attention for 3x as long, though, and dirties twice as many dishes to wash up afterwards (I use a saucepan to prepare a roux to make a smooth, less calorie dense sauce.) If my toddler is melting down from hunger, it's less stressful to whip up box mac and cheese.

Many people don't realize how easy cooking staples can be and are intimidated, or lack the interest to figure it out. That likely correlates strongly to the lifestyle they were raised in. Also, most folks' psyches seem tightly coupled to the foods they were exposed to at a young age. If someone was raised eating Kraft, that's naturally what they'll think of as mac and cheese, and they may never revisit that association as an adult.

Scratch / improvised cooking is a skill that takes practice to be good at. Personally, I enjoy it as a hobby. My mom cooked a lot, but made very bland food. I regularly pick out a random food I enjoyed from childhood, then figure out how to make it authentically. Last month I figured out perogies (I cheated on the mashed potatoes). Last week I made a delicious
seared lamb with fennel and tomatoes (I've been watching a lot of Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares lately). Over the last two years I've optimized my sourdough technique to the point that it's boring (although I still wish I could get a more sour flavor!) I learned how to make proper wood fired pizza in Italy before COVID, and I'm still enjoying optimizing that at home, and starting to experiment with sicilian style.

What a poor quality comment

> How could the US military respond effectively to all of those at once?

1st, why does it have to be able to "respond" anywhere in the world, this is not a capability any other nation has, all nations armies are inherently defensive

Contemplate 2 methods of writing a 'dz' digraph

dz - \u0064\u007a, 2 basic latin block codepoints
DZ - \u0044\u005a
Dz - \u0044\u007a

ǳ - \u01f3, lowercase, single codepoint
Ǳ - \u01f1, uppercase
ǲ - \u01f2, TITLECASE!

What happens if you try to express dż or dź from polish orthography?

You can use

dż - \u0064\u017c - d followed by 'LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH DOT ABOVE'
dż - \u0064\u007a\u0307 - d followed by z, followed by combining diacritical dot above
ǳ̇ - \u01f3\u0307 - ǳ with combining diacritical dot above

multiplied by uppercase and titlecase forms

In polish orthography dz digraph is considered 2 letters, despite being only one sound (głoska). I'm not so sure about macedonian orthography, they might count it as one thing.

Medieval ß is a letter/ligature that was created from ſʒ - that is a long s and a tailed z. In other words it is a form of 'sz' digraph.
Contemporarily it is used only in german orthography.

How long is ß?

By some rules uppercasing ß yields SS or SZ. Should uppercasing or titlecasing operations change length of a string?
>Houston is somewhat of a unicorn in this mix. To say the city has no zoning laws really only implicates a very small portion of the logical geographic area in the urban center.

I'm not quite sure what you mean: Houston's city limits span 667 square miles! That's not a very small portion in the urban center. It's true that there are a few pocket cities embedded in the city that may have different zoning laws: Piney Point, Bellaire and West University, but Houston relentlessly grew through annexation until it was slowed by lawsuits. It still continues to grow though annexations... see [1]

https://www.houstontx.gov/planning/Annexation/docs_pdfs/Hous...

I also disagree about home prices being unattainable; I think implicit in your statement are assumptions about schools, neighborhood walkability and the like. There are plenty of places that aren't yet ideal but are far cheaper. In my zip code there are plenty of listings for houses and lots in the $100k range but at the top of the market there's a mansion for $2.1 million. Best of luck in your search for something with your criteria.
Blaming "worldviews" is fun and all, but the IRS will charge you if you retain too much cash.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/532

The tax code is set up with the assumption that corporations are pass-throughs -- they either re-invest funds or pay them out. Funds paid out are taxed as capital income by the recipient (often called "double taxation"). Corporations that sock away cash for a rainy day are viewed as evading this double taxation and are penalized rather harshly. This is another reason (but not the primary reason) why if you want to keep cash for a rainy day you need to have it overseas somewhere where the IRS can't penalize you for holding it.
It's a fair criticism that we can't really know the truth on.

If a nation state wants to railroad you—a single person—with the resources of the NSA/CIA at their disposal, how are you going to defend yourself? You could live off the grid like Crazy Ted, but that's an extreme reaction that most won't take, let alone a ceo of a major corporation.

The government is made of people just like you and me. Couldn't you see some folks in the national security state thinking a person was standing in the way of keeping America safe? Collateral damage but necessary.

I'm not saying it's good or should be allowed, but I can empathize with the mindset of that individual. Same thing happens with prosecutors/detectives when they get tunnel vision over a person that later is exonerated. They deal with bad people so often they become jaded by human nature and everything looks like a nail for their hammer.

> Average expected teu is 30k lbs on a ship

Yeah, average. That doesn't mean that every container - or even most containers - are loaded to that weight per TEU. Indeed, it's highly likely that they're not; the heavy containers are going to be toward the bottom, and the lighter containers are going to be toward the top. And there are probably a lot more light containers than heavy ones, because...

> Nearly all containers are packed to the brim

Volumetrically, yes. Not necessarily in terms of weight. Indeed, unless you're shipping gold ingots or something, "max goods shipped" necessarily means that you're more likely to run into volumetric limits first.

Not to mention that the max container weight in practice is usually a fair bit lower than the ISO spec, since those containers have to get to their destination - which means traveling on roads and railways with their own weight limits (both for the whole vehicle and per-axle), and on vehicles that themselves are part of that limit (and themselves have limits of their own). And further, a container can only have so much weight stacked on top of it.

> Real life is not pleasant to armchair theory.

Indeed it is not, which is why when it comes to the containers themselves I'm speaking from experience as a professional in the supply chain / logistics field :)

(But yes, admittedly my knowledge on military helicopters is less substantial, so if there's someone who's not an armchair theorist on that topic who wants to chime in, that'd be most welcome)

While I've never had problems finding great dentistry anywhere I live in Canada, this story resonates with me about just how bad my teeth are. Partly my fault, it's become by a wide margin my biggest anxiety in life. Once I got my CPAP machine the cavities stopped but the permanent damage was done.

I have a lot I could say but I wanted to share this one thing: the thing I hate so much about dental care is that it's a losing battle. Your teeth can never heal. They either stay the same or get worse. When I get sick I eventually get better^. When I get a cavity it's amputation time.

^of course there's countless ways this isn't true. But as a young person this is my perspective and experience.

The average house doesn't need to source 100% of their electricity from rooftop solar. Electric utilities are how most people will still get a significant portion of their electricity, even those with rooftops solar.

Also, the average household's electricity needs could be reduced significantly while increasing comfort via better insulation, air sealing, and higher efficiency appliances.
Most people will have a big battery in their garage capable of powering their house for days pretty soon.
