I so very much agree. I think user interface design and inconsistency is really holding linux back. Accessibility is intertwined with it.

I think if someone who did game ui design paired with a blind person could critique linux distributions (that led to changes), we would all benefit.
Yes, the video confirms what I expected from the description. And yeah, the video is a bit gruesome but apparently he was okay.

We have a Peloton Treadmill (now called the Tread+, but the original one is the same as the Tread+), in fact my wife is running on it right now.

If you do a Google Image Search for "treadmill", you will see most treadmills are belt-style, and often have a metal bar underneath the back, a few inches in. NOT a cover on the back -- the plastic cover is typically on the FRONT of most treadmills, which won't help with things getting sucked underneath at the back, which is where this would happen.

The Tread+ is a "slat style" treadmill similar to something really high end like a $10k+ Woodway, but other brands also sell slatted style treadmills.

It's definitely obvious how something can get sucked under the back of the tread, however I'm not sure how much better having a protective bar is; I really wouldn't want an arm to get sucked between the belt and a protective bar underneath, which is usually at least a few inches from the underside of the belt.

And of course the Tread+ is something like 450lbs; the heavier the treadmill, the more problematic something like this is likely to be.

Having it shut off when something goes under it does't really help; I'm not sure I'd want my kid to get crushed by a stationary treadmill either.

Like most treadmills, the Tread has a safety key which you're supposed to wear (but not everyone does, and of course kids playing on it are not going to). Actually, I just realized the obvious answer is, if you have kids, take the safety key off when you're not using it. But, mistakes happen, and of course something can also get sucked under when a properly trained adult is using the device as well. (One of our cats took a serious blow to the head from the swinging arm of our elliptical, but he was fine; cat.) I definitely wouldn't want anything going under the pedals of our Peloton bike either; metal pedal plus speed plus flywheel mass would be a REALLY bad time.

Back to the Tread, the belt stops if there's no weight on it for "a while" but I'm not sure how long; certainly it takes more than 10 seconds. And, again, you'd be left with a kid trapped under a STOPPED treadmill which is not much better.

There's no particular safety for turning it on. Typically I select my profile on the touchscreen but the knobs on the side to start the belt are active before starting a class. I think they might even be active when the tablet is "on" (tap the power button on the cross bar first) but before choosing a profile.

I suppose a workaround would be to require a login before turning it on, but of course this is a step most other treadmills don't have either.
Is it just me, or access to legal content is getting more complicated?
How about putting all those lobbying funds for a good use and building a single platform that allows anyone to access movies, TV shows etc. for a decently priced subscription, without region blocking shenanigans?
It's still a product decision though, especially the way the top comment frames it. It's just one that happens to be centered around emotional language. I suspect that an experiment that deals with more or less political content would have a similar effect on people's mental state.
Not really a great advert for the intellectual heft of the right wing
3 Practical Ways to Increase Code Quality
That is a banal comparison. When a film makes you sad, you are aware of what is going on. If you are unusually sensitive to these types of emotions, you can read about the film ahead of time to see if you might want to avoid it.

No. It is disciplined. A good editor would know their subjective biases would disqualify them from knowing precisely where the middle is.
> Marketing requires a huge budget in the VC age since you're competing with ever increasing ad prices.

This is a mental trap that is super easy to fall into. The author of the article is writing a marketing guide. Marketing encompasses the entire product and go to market design, of which advertising is just a tiny part. Notice in his table of contents that advertising is only mentioned in one chapter very late in the book.
> With rust you don't need to constantly generate code.

In Rust, macros generate code on build. In Java, Annotations Processors do. I don't see a big difference between these approaches, besides Java's mechanism being older and crustier. Rust macros generate tons of code.

> if you have rust-analyze you get inline errors, code completion, jump to definition, autoimport, autoformat...

Last time I checked, Rust analyzer was in alpha/beta. Java has all this and it's battle-tested. Including language server for VScode and other lightweight editors, and several options for build plugins that auto format.

> You don't need to constantly "extract method", move to class, generate all these mountains of classes by rightclick.

Lombok, or one of the popular Builder libraries, gets rid of all this boilerplate. I don't generate anything using IDE. In my experience, most Java user don't. There's many mature libraries for geting around class ceremony.

> there is one way to set global toolchain and per project/dir. You're not required to also click through a million menus and dialogs and copypaste stuff and sync and rebuild and restart to get the editor barely working.

You are right. Rusts build system is simpler and better integrated. But Java has amazing build tools, maybe the best out there. A properly configured maven project will compile, test, and run with one command. And it will import into your IDE with a simple "import project, yes"

I have worked on a ton of Java projects over the years and never had to deal with most of what your describe.

Yeah, it's certainly not uncommon on either treadmills, but I think the height of the Peloton unit perhaps makes it more problematic than most.
The US does it quite a bit. I think it depends on what sort of company you're working in.

For instance, when I worked in US govt, best as I could tell all the real work was done by contractors and the govt employees sat around on their asses all day.

Updating Grassmann.jl documentation (live-stream)
Hey I know you're feeling like giving up, but you have to realize that you've only taken the first step--and the good news is, it's a step that only 10% of people ever make! So congratulations! You published your first novel! Only 10% of people ever finish "that novel" they have in their head that they feel the urge to write. I'm proud of you!

Now for the next part, which no one like's to hear: the easy part is over. Yep, you heard that right: getting your first work finished and out there was relatively easy compared to the mountain you have set yourself on to climb. Yes, only 10% of people dare climb that mountain, and here you are--among the 10%. Now, as you look forward, I can tell you that at every major step, every major obstacle, and every major setback, only 10% of people keep going.

You might think there's a secret to this writing thing, but there isn't. Just like when we're hiking up a mountain, the only thing that matters is putting one foot in front of the other. That's the only way you climb. So you HAVE to get back in there (mentally) and keep going!

You just started on an amazingly difficult and frustrating and beautiful journey in life. You made it to where only 10% of people get to--and now you want to stop the journey?

My friend, your journey has only just begun.

Very nice work! I noticed that if there were notes missed, they all seemed like the long hold ones.

Was that a limitation of the AI software or was that by design to keep the strumming part easier to make?
Honestly that sounds like “this stuff dealer is bad because they make people sad while they wait for a dose; I quit, clean for 2d 6h 19min”. No doubt facebook is evil, corporate monster, etc, but hey what about stopping being a junkie. The problem is not someone experimenting with your unhealthy addiction, it is your unhealthy addiction.

At the early stages of the internet, most of the content was hidden, waiting for you to actively discover and bookmark it. Like you do with good places in your town - you find one, add it to your address book and visit occasionally. It was a slow process, full of findings, enjoyment and variety. Now everyone seems to sit at their mailbox, desperately waiting for another pack of junk mail to arrive. Facebook is just that - a postman who chooses from a variety of crap to push into your inbox. It doesn’t change lives unless people are too lazy to live by themselves.
Sure, it's also a choice for companies not to donate millions of dollars to buy malaria nets in Africa.

Admitting responsibility in as litigatious an environment as the US is essentially throwing away money, with less public benefit than the malaria nets.

We don't even understand the consequences of the laws we pass in plain English. The idea that news feed algorithms are going to be meaningfully interpretable by anyone is just not practical, even if those algorithms are relatively simple.

The other problem with transparent algorithms is that they are trivial to game. Gaming is almost certainly worse than obscurity.
I don't think that the proverbial daughter necessarily has to be wrong. It's just a description of a sudden flurry of engagement by someone who has been distant from a dying patient. It's probably misguided in a lot of cases, but not all.
I'm not sure how this speculation adds to the conversation, though.
I think it's common to call it cursor regardless of where it's maintained. I agree that it may confuse some people since there are cursors in SQL APIs. But the underlying concept is the same. Keyset does not convey the specific meaning.
It wasn't that. It was the torque and incessant "gotta go" programming in the motor. If the speed is stuck at zero mph and the motor tried more than 5 seconds without changing the belt speed CUTOFF immediately.

You can wash with soap and water and your favorite sponge. It's fine and will make your cast iron much more pleasant to use.

If you really need nonstick (frying eggs, basically), that's what you have to use, but cast iron and carbon steel are incredibly versatile and a better buy if you're space-limited than nonstick
Pourquoi le XRP connaît-il un rallye monstre alors que le Ripple ne vaut que $3M
The back legs are below the treadmill, not behind it, so I don't think this would be an issue?
Ripple se négocierait à une valorisation de 2 à 3 milliards de dollars, mais ses avoirs en XRP valent environ 70 milliards de dollars.
Yeah, looks like the ball was what kept the machine propped up so that there was enough space for him to walk away. So basically an amazing lucky coincidence for him.

I learned a really handy trick for cleaning my cast iron. Heat the pan pretty hot (like the temp you'd use for searing a steak). Run your tap water as hot as the faucet will deliver, then (carefully) fill your cast iron pan with the hot water. It will boil off 99% of the gunk in the pan, and you can clean it out with a wet sponge.
I gave up marketing the book two years ago after trying for nearly 3 years. SSL certificate I will check out. That must be recent as the site has been running fine for years.

You might have a point about the promise of the book, but that depends on whether your muslim or not. Most muslims who come across it, understand the premise immediately, but still, you might have a point there.
Very cool mixture of software and hardware for your project! I've been wanting to build a Go-playing robot for the longest time, hoping the cost of 6DoF robotic arms comes down in the near future. Do you have future tweaks in mind for improving your score, like increasing the signal of the notes when they're first starting to appear on the screen?
no electronics products on that site offer a lifetime warranty.

I'd argue there are almost no "buy it for life" electronics. Same with clothing except maybe outerwear.

In my opinion I think inflation is coming sooner than we think. With the 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus and other stimulus bills with large amounts of money printing and large bailouts it's only a matter of time until the dollar starts to decrease and inflation soars.

That's a pretty nice thing you did here, but i'm questioned by what you call "left". Left means abolition of private property (sharing of resources) so i was expecting more left-wing publications like (just to name a few) crimethinc.com unicornriot.ninja itsgoingdown.org theantimedia.com. Some like jacobinmag.com or democracynow.org appear on the project's README but i don't find anything from there on the site.

Is there a place detailing the data sources for their.news if it's different than the adfontesmedia list? Also for people not aware that list itself was very sketchy in my view. From another comment of mine:

> Sometimes i read articles from Jacobin Mag. I don’t follow it and don’t support it, however it pops up sometimes in my “feeds”. I was surprised to see it marked as really unreliable, while all articles i read there were long-form well-sourced articles. In particular, this article about US military courts is marked as highly unreliable, why? https://jacobinmag.com/2021/01/us-armed-forces-capitol-hill-...
We got two ceramic coated pans 6 years ago and they're almost as good as new even though we used one of them for almost every cooked meal and the other like at least once every week. They're a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't want to miss them.
In a simple example that I can think of it could just be a vector of <present, past> aka the current info could be encoded like [<2, 0>, <4, 0>] then rotated to ("y axis") [<0, 2>, <0, 4>] allowing you to write more "present" data to the original x dimension without overriding the past data.

One of the lessons you're eventually supposed to learn when designing consumer products is that you don't get to decide what "used correctly" means.

If, in actual use, some people are leaving the key in the treadmill, then just having the key and two sentences in the manual isn't going to be considered an adequate substitute for having a tread guard.

"But they didn't read the manual!" isn't going to absolve them of liability either.
Fortunately and wittingly it is not comparable!

Others have pointed out the fundamental and pragmatic differences between treadmills and power tools. E.g. it's unrealistic (excluding the long term) to keep people from putting a treadmill in their living space. Of course we could debate each difference, but then we're just discussing the differences between treadmills and power tools. Analogies are usually a lazy tool in the field of debate - you can state them easily, but they provide nothing of substance to anybody who doesn't already agree with you, unless you're using them for a much more specific point than "X is like Y, therefore they should be treated the same".

Make your argument about treadmills, not about power tools. Also note that power tools are highly regulated and have many safety features.
In other words, a whole subculture.

This used to be very common with VBA, I would expect these days it's more of a Python thing.

Someone wants to do something, they find out that the thing they want to do is "programming", and they start writing a script that can do that thing. They add to it, it gets longer, it works.

They probably know functions exist but don't really get why they would use one. There's a decent chance they'll never get it, and that's fine.

I have roughly ten python scripts I use for this and that, and three of them don't have any functions. I wrote a similar no-function python script for a work thing a couple jobs back, and my CTO was kind of ticked off, said I should know better, and don't submit it for code review again without a main() function and some "proper separation of concerns".

Which, fine; it's his company, the rewrite is trivial, I probably cleaned some things up a bit. But the script was fine the way it was.
After learning SQL, Powershell, VB script, and taking a fifteen week CIS course on Android; Java was a natural segway for me.

I work an an Android use case, so reading Java stacktraces, and code commits became a valuable skill.

Then, I learned the value of using Java libraries such as Appium and Selenium for end-to-end integration, performance, and reliability testing.

Then I started using Java libraries like Okhttp, Jackson to build fancier test setups.

While this was happening, I was learning the value of writing code that could be ran in containers - which Java does. Now I can create microservices that I stick in containers on Google Cloud Run or Pivotal Cloud Foundry - and pass arguments to execute tasks.

After getting these foundational skills developed, I started working on adding features to Android apps in the use case.

Since I had learned that much, I figured I should write a personal site using Spring MVC, Spring JPA, VueJS, ChartJS, and CockroachCloud (postgres). I then went and wrote a DAO microservice to write to CockroachCloud on a recurring schedule, and used Java with JDBC to learn how to access postgres without Spring.

Java has become a great skill, that I picked up almost entirely during the pandemic. Especially when paired with Javascript. On Javascript, what I find interesting is that some teams have rewrote services from Javascript to Java. IME, Java works on everything, and with everything.

Once you master one object oriented language, having to learn Objective-C or another variant of Java like Kotlin or Scala becomes that much easier.

IMO, there are 3 things are worth learning. They are SQL, a high level scripting language, and a object oriented language. They all have their uses, and the skills are transferable. For me, Java just happened to be the most valuable skill I could learn.
I have an example from Ukraine, where an acquaintance of mine spent insane amount of money on "care" on her elderly, sick grandmother (90+) yo. When public hospitals refused to continue care due to uselessness, she took her grandmother to private ones, who happily took her miney, and couldn't stop.

It was about 10 years ago. Acquaintance's monthly salary was about $700 (that's Ukraine, after all), so she took debt etc.

6 months later and $15k in debt, grandmother still died.

I had a lot of sad thoughts about entire situation - I understand the wish to help loved one. I understand the wish to live. I understand that it was much easier for me to look more objectively at the entire situation...

I hope if my time will come, I won't be a burden for my family and will be able to make conscious decision.
I don't really think the territorial claim on the land where the extrajudicial assassination happens is very relevant to the legal fact of the matter.

We don't say that the FSB attempting to execute Skripal in a UK shopping mall doesn't count because it was in the UK. Murder is murder.

The claim that the IC would assassinate Gellman in New York was made by someone who used to be an actual CIA operative and went through their training.

"Move fast and break things."

Edit: I didn’t mean to offend, or to be morbid. I was making a point about how that particular mindset often doesn’t lead to products that care about “boring” things like safety or long term reliability.
That's fair. There is also a category (I'm thinking musical instruments, sports equipment, vim) that grows with you. You might miss out (or worse, quit guitar) because you were too cheap to ever figure out what you were missing.
Left means abolition of private property

It doesn't, that's just a misunderstanding of your own.
You can also just query 5*100 IDs (keysets actually) and insert them into temporary table, all in a single SQL query, retrieve 100 full records in 2nd query, and get cursors for next/prev pages in third query (I'm not sure about this part, would need some windowing query I guess). It may seem wasteful, but in my experience it's fast (though I don't really have "Big Data" to test on). I do something similar to check if there's next/prev page. Temporary tables in SQLite are session local, deleted on close.
If you can lift the device it's stored on with your bare hands, it's not big data.

I laughed out loud at that as well. Although I guess in a westward expansion type scenario, where children "go west", it does make more sense that the child would be returning 'home' to the elderly parent in the east.

Some forums exemplify the long tail of hobby fanaticism. What used to be a couple people in the back of the convention that were hardcore is now a large group of those disparate people in a forum.

Sometimes you have to find a different forum. That's also why you'll see multiple subreddits for the same thing. They embody different aspects of the topic and draw people that associate with that aspect. Sometimes some of the same people in both, but the purport themselves differently depending on where they are.
