I once saw a carpenters square that was a foot long on each side, but one side was divided into quarter inches and the other divided into thirds of an inch.

I was told it was used to make 3/4/5 right triangles, which was kinda fascinating.
I guess because it's mostly tutorials, which are downranked: https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented#downra...
Because min/max per range is for complete suckers, who think it is feasible to buy at minimum and sell at maximum price. Definitely not practical for mere mortals trading a volatile "asset".

I chose a biased $19,650 value to make a point. Anyone who bought Bitcoin in the month of December 2017 or January 2018 paid over $10K a piece. The price was over $6K for more than one year, before it dropped shortly to $4K neighborhood. $3,729 is not a representative number.

BTW, 3 days after my comment "more than $62,000" is no longer there, either.
The native support for macOS overall is terrible. It took them 21 years to finally support native context menus: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34572

And you still have to manually configure Firefox to use the native full-screen-api so you can use the macOS menubar to chance your volume. Horrible, just horrible ...

But I'm currently on Firefox Nightly and pretty happy about the recent UX/UI changes.

Preparing for a Verdict in the Trial of Derek Chauvin
I made this exercise to guide myself throught the process of starting from a list of features, summarizing benefits, prioritize them, sparkle some keywords and finally output a marketing page.

Working to make a marketing/public site for a micro-saas I was building, I realized there's plenty of articles about the structure of the landing page, sticky header, include quotes, etc. but there's little on how to actually write the content. I worked w/ different marketing professionals in the past and, though everyone has their own style/processes, the tldr is "talk about benefits, not features".

If you're making a marketing page, I hope you can find it useful too!

Please lmk if 1) the exercise makes sense to you, 2) the format is clear/unclear - what can be improved, 3) should I maybe write an accompanying blog post? other ideas?

For context, I expect to launch a number of micro-saas in the next months, so I wanted to build a repeatable process. I then plan to run all these sites out of config files like this [1].

I have had comments that bounce back and forth.

It seems down votes are far too easy to make. A down vote can be spent freely and carries no expense.

Expecting humans to be judicious is probably a little too optimistic ( otherwise we wouldn't need laws and governments ). Especially on the anonymous internet.

I am thankful for the upvote people who provide a helping hand when needed.

Since downvotes seem to collect quickly and possibly silence someone early in a conversation does anyone have design thoughts on ways to 'moderate' the down vote?

I don't understand how that point applies here. A bakery could come up with "rules and regulations" which would effectively deny service to any group the baker wished.

The baker could make rules against holding hands with someone of the same sex, or not speaking proper english. There could even be a strict "don't argue with the baker" rule, and the baker could sass and goad customers he didn't want into arguing with him so he can throw the customer out.

The entire controversy around what happened with Parler is the question of whether the rules the big tech platforms have are just, and evenly enforced. I have not seen anyone arguing against the concept of rules itself.
Yeah, pianos deal with both the tuning inaccuracies that are inherent to 12-tone equal temperament in addition to piano-specific oddities like having to stretch the octave.

Basically, the harmonics that rise off of piano strings aren't exact multiples of the fundamental -- they're a little bit off, because piano strings don't behave entirely like ideal strings, they behave like metal cylinders. In the mid-range they're pretty pretty close to plain equal temperament, but in the high treble the strings get shorted but the string gauge stays almost the same, which means the ratio of diameter to length increases and they act less like strings and more like cylinders. The bass has similar issues with single and double wound strings. So, the fix is to just stretch the octave enough so that the harmonics of low notes line up better with the fundamentals of higher notes, and so on. (What we perceive as "out of tune-ness" is the wobbly sound of two frequencies played together that almost but don't quite line up, creating a beat frequency.)

> I hear there are some who want to dilute the safety guarantees of Safe Rust

Unfortunately, I don't use Rust at work. I can't talk about it anymore, either. I can't use an informal reference to reason about its actual behavior. At the end of the day, C++ puts food on the table. I try to improve C++ as much as possible, knowing that it is an imperfect language. C++ is heading into safe direction, and I'm sure C++26 will be able to provide more features to write code safely.

Rust seriously need to add Function Overloading, Generics.
It’s not just NIMBY-ism, and NIMBY-ism isn’t what drove these away. What it is is pretty much the minimum mage—housing has to meet a minimum threshold in quality or else it can’t exist. Never mind that people might still be willing to live there and are able to make their own decisions. And some people might not have other options.

To many, this seems like exploitation. They’d rather have people living on the street than have a business make money off of them.

Who is the 'they' in your comment? The Capgemini report underlying all this, in no unclear terms, states that Huawei abused their access; with unmonitored and unauthorized access from China.

Additionally, it concludes that Dutch telecom act was violated by Huawei by being able to access the numbers being tapped by Dutch security services.

All statements in the original news article are backed up by the Capgemini report. Of course this report could be wrong, but then it's curious why KPN decided to keep this report a secret, apart from sharing the results with Dutch intelligence (AIVD).

Either way, I have a hard time seeing how any of this is 'spin'.

I don't think it's just cultural or anything for most people. Not just communication. I am usually not overly social at all, but I am now starting to crave other people's body warmth on a physical level. Feels like a headache... I can't enjoy anything anymore, because of it. The craving is there all the time, there is no substitute for the closeness I have not. I fantasize about pressing my body through an overcrowded club, collecting other people's sweat on me, friends screaming into my ears spitting all over my face. Sweat, sebum, saliva, warmth, smell, microbes, laughter, eye contact. It's not a sexual desire, it's something different completely drained, thirsty, essential for survival. I think back then, if my group abandoned me, I would just die of loneliness on the forest's mossy floor, no matter the circumstances.

I am gonna be really irresponsible, once I got my vaccine shot.

In some cases it can make sense, one off the top of my head is captured but uncracked NTLM credentials - rotating the password (even if it’s +1) invalidates the existing hash. There’s probably better ways of doing it technically (resalting the password) but they’re not technically possible.

Planning a coup is not legitimate political dialog and no company should be required to host it.
Bitcoin miners are doing around 170 quintillion hashes per second, so if all of those resources were put toward cracking these passwords, in theory it should take around 20 billion years for the longer one [1], or about 38 milliseconds for the shorter one [2].

We need more people to take this approach for things they want to share. It makes for a better community.
If a term is overloaded, and if the purpose of language is to communicate, then I think the better approach is to drop the term as a lost cause and switch to alternatives for both uses, rather than fight and endless battle. For the two meanings I use "raises the question" and "circular reasoning" or "the conclusion was already part of your original assumption".

I've seen some people mention using https://tauri.studio/en/ for building desktop apps with Elm, and others using https://www.electronjs.org/. I've also toyed with https://deno.land/x/webview though it's still very young.

Feel free to reach out in the Elm Slack or Discourse if you have any more detailed questions. I know there's been discussions in the https://discourse.elm-lang.org/ around desktop apps too if you want to search there.

1. Don't listen to music/podcasts when showering, going on walks/runs or exercising (unless you are doing to something intense and need some motivation). This will allow you to brew the ideas already in your head.

2. Don't speed through books/blog posts. I was always confused when people said they read 1 book a week (unless it was a fiction book). When I read a non-fiction book, I take weeks to read it - even if it is not something dense. I read a chapter of a book or one blog post and let the ideas wander in my head as I shower, walk, or exercise ;)

3. When you get an idea, write it down in a simple app like Notes or Trello.
Looks awesome, have you thought about making it an actual React renderer (like react-three-fiber) instead of passing an array of elements to the component?
You are referencing the Guardian which is not the original source. I'm referencing the original report from Volkskrant, which has access to the Capgemini security audit.

The Capgemini report stated:

- They had accessed KPN's network without authorization and from China in 2009. They circumvented the default password policy from KPN

- They could have eavesdropped, because they had an application that enabled it, which was forbidden.

Also. The Dutch statement of KPN that the Guardian mentioned was not: "adding that none of its suppliers had “unauthorised, uncontrolled or unlimited access to our networks and systems”, as the article states.

The literal statement was ( in dutch):

> "Geen enkele leverancier van KPN heeft 'ongeautoriseerde, ongecontroleerde en ongelimiteerde' toegang tot de netwerken en systemen, of is in staat om KPN-klanten af te luisteren of tapinformatie in te zien."

Which is misleading, since it means: "Currently, no supplier has 'unauthorized and uncontrolled and unlimited' access to our networks and systems." This can be true, because they changed a lot because of the security audit that got leaked.

Yes, it does, but the Ian Knot is more reliable, especially in places where you don't have the instant muscle memory like shoelaces. If you learn the standard knot incorrectly it results in you doing a Granny Knot. But if you try to tie the Ian's Knot, you can't tie it incorrectly because it just doesn't work. And of course yes, it's faster.

ETA: Also, OP may have been tying a Granny Knot from time to time which results in shoelaces coming untied very quickly. So the Ian knot gets you both faster tied shoes and shoes that stay tied.
Something I wish was more clear in music theory is just how much overlap exists between the various concepts. I think it suffers from having so many names for everything, the learning curve seems much steeper than it really is. Even in this article, much time is spent on the duplicate names of notes and intervals. As a fairly proficient self-taught guitarist, this intimidating perception of theory delayed my learning of it for easily 5-8 years.

For example, you may spend a while learning the major scale, and what can be done with it. Then you learn the minor scale, and it seems like a totally separate scale that sounds completely different. And after that you learn that there are five other scales (modes) to learn about! (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, and Lochrian!). It can seem extremely overwhelming until you learn that they're all the same scale with different relative starting positions. Where major is [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], minor is [6,7,1,2,3,4,5], and the other modes are all the other permutations of starting positions.

My other gripe is that learning theory on piano puts a lot of bias on the notes themselves rather than the intervals. For example, the B major scale has 5 sharp notes (black keys) to remember whereas C major scale has none. These are pretty different shapes to remember. Learning these on guitar means taking the same exact shape and shifting it up a fret (so if you know one major scale, you know them all!). Not to say that guitar is the perfect instrument for learning this - folks will often learn scales as close to the 0th fret as possible, causing you to start on different strings and have slightly different patterns.

That being said, I wish there was a purely linear instrument (a piano with the black keys flattened?) for learning theory. The real magic comes from identifying the shapes and patterns, and how they're similar to each other. Like how major and mixolydian are identical except for one note, so it's very easy to modulate between them, or make a listener think they're in one mode when they're in another. Same with minor and phrygian. Being able to drop the baggage of "the second note of the B major scale is C# which is this black key here" and just focus on a floating set of intervals seems like it would make this all easier and less intimidating.

That all said, I still feel reasonably early in my theory journey. So maybe this is just my bias coming from guitar.
This block of Chicago is really interesting. It’s like going back in time to when American cities were far seedier places than they are now.

It survives in part because the neighbor across the street is the Metropolitan Correctional Center [1] (an architectural masterpiece that was ruined by painting it about 10 years ago). The other reason it survives is that many buildings are owned in full by people that just aren’t interested in huge piles of money. When they pass away, their children will surely cash out and another skyscraper will rise.

There are quite a few hole-in-the-wall lunch places along this block. My favorite was a fried chicken place with some homemade (?) hot sauce. Around the corner is a fantastic old-school pizza place and I think the guy who runs it owns most of the buildings.
