Your mileage may vary. My experience so far has been mostly low quality stuff from aliexpress with very long shipping periods.

I found the ratings on aliexpress to be completely useless. as compared to aliexpress, even amazon ratings feel legit (which has probably the lowest reputation from my experience).

I had way better experience with local vendors here in Switzerland or even shipped from Germany for all kinds of qualities.

The local vendors here also have way better support and very quick shipping times.

Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism
I live around Portland, OR. I took my family berry-picking a couple of weeks back and it was a very sad sight. Almost all the raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries, and marionberries were gone. The blue-berries were the only things to survive pretty much, but they had very little flavor.

In my backyard on the first day we hit 107-108, I lost all my pea plants and my green beans took a major beating. My corn and zucchini plants were wilting like crazy, I thought they were a goner. The second day I said forget this and just let the garden sprinkler run all afternoon; high water-bill be damned. That did the trick, I managed to save my tomatoes, corn, a good chunk of the green beans, and the zucchini. The south-facing side of my Japanese maple is still scorched.

What a crazy event. The worst part of it is all the people that lost their lives.

It's more that it requires to leave the mainstream system, because the fertilizer and pesticides that destroyed your soil are the money-making machines of "Big Ag" corporations.

Regenerative ag will not make you very rich either, so you have not much money to invest in lobbying activities, to go against the flow.

Yes, linked lists are great for certain use cases. They make for very clear and performant code, especially if your language can special-case their memory management. In other cases, they're slow garbage, and that's where vectors shine.
It might also be because they're avid users of Obsidian itself.
I use a few plugins to manage tasks:

- "Checklist" for a unified todo view

"Day Planner" seems cool, but I haven't played with it.
I've bought a couple items on AliExpress. For me, I had to call my card issuer and have them pause the anti-fraud systems for my card, so they would allow the charges; and then when I bought some more stuff a couple weeks later, I had to do it again. Some people on reddit report success or failure with different card issuers.

I would only use AliExpress to buy things you can't find anywhere else, which should help with counterfeit issues, AliExpress has seller ratings and what not, too. I've had some luck with BangGood.com for randomly produced NodeMCU style boards, and they have a US warehouse which helps with shipping speed (at additional cost).
I love these ideas! I've always wanted to do home automation stuff but I worry about sending data to outside parties. Do you happen to know if Home Assistant monitors the things you have installed and/or keep track of the data your devices pass to each other?

No, Christie's (or some other big auction house) is never going to take your money that way. No one, actually.

There is a drawing tool that will work with pen tablets. It's not perfect, but it, like a lot of the features, is a start. The end result of the tool is a simplified bezier curve. There is a tolerance slider that lets you control how much smoothing is used in generating the end result of the drawing. I couldn't get it tight enough for finished character drawings done only with the pen, but you can go in and edit the Beziers with the regular Bezier tools.

It does work well enough that you can knock out a rough and then clean it up. The real strength of this will to allow you to come in and rig the drawing.

There is also a "cell animation" feature that lets you draw individual frames with onion skinning. Again, very basic, but a start.

I haven't used these features in production, so I can't really say how well they work under stress. But they've been very evocative of what might be possible as the tool develops.

If handwriting is better than typing, is there some other way of representing words that is better than handwriting? Perhaps other than speaking? Is it just because these are the first methods we learn to represent language? Or is it because there are more degrees of freedom in handwriting, i.e. more ways of getting things wrong so you have to focus a lot more.

Basically any complex thing humans do consumes energy and therefore emits carbon dioxide. So you can selectively criticize anything you want by invoking carbon emissions. It's pretty funny actually, especially considering how much sway it seems to have over peoples' minds these days.

Farmers generally aren't climate change deniers in my experience, and I meet a lot of farmers on a regular basis as I work for one of the largest AG equipment suppliers in the world in r&d where we are constantly out testing new products or tech on farmers fields.

They are practical, evidence based and extremely in-tune with anything that can affect their bottom line.
Completely agreed, a fantastic blog.
This person gets it.

Start from the beginning. You think Sundar just gets a call one day from a reporter about this topic and says “yeah, I’ll do an interview”?

This article was generated by google. Their internal PR team thought it up and used their external agency to float the idea of the article (and an interview with Sundar!) to a bunch of reporters until someone took the bait (well, not bait, the reporter knows what’s up).

And this is a small slice of the overall strategy google has put together to counter the antitrust action the US govt is pushing.
Who in the world wants an OS-as-a-service that exists to connect you to the Microsoft cloud? I want an OS that runs locally and without telemetry, handles hardware abstraction, and allows me to run applications. Windows 7 was pretty good at that. Everything since has been a step in the wrong direction.
Honestly?

My biggest concern about it is that half its advocates say crazy things. For instance, down-thread we got the line:

"[Paul Wheaton] believes that in a decade the soil will be so rich in organic matter with healthy microbial activity (with no chemical history) could produce food that cures cancer. I believe that in an environment where human body is not weakened by the constant bombardment of chemical compounds, it could heal itself from cancer."

I do my best to keep an open mind because, hey, a lot of bits and pieces sound plausible, but whenever I get to lines about cancer-curing food, I begin to doubt the truth, validity or factual nature of anything else that was said on the topic.

Aside from that, the biggest question is always going to be "Does it scale to growing sufficient food for 10 billion people?" Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, but whenever food comes up keep in mind that end game. If a particular agricultural system could produce food at lower energy costs, more sustainably, "better", but could only feed a billion people applied globally, it's only an acceptable solution in very particular moral frameworks.

I’ve been using a preproduction version of this (they were distributed widely on social media) with good results. It’s another iteration of the ESP32 products, but it’s not necessarily better than the previous boards for every application. All of the ESP parts have significant differences that can make them more or less appropriate for certain application needs, so read the specs carefully rather than skipping straight to picking the latest part.

My biggest wishlist item for Espressif would be to make a solid WiFi/BT part with SDIO interface that can be used as a radio for a Linux host SoC. Espressif provides a hosted version of the firmware for previous ESP boards ( https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted#12-supported-esp-boa... ) but it doesn’t integrate as cleanly as standard SDIO WiFi parts and their latest boards don’t support SDIO.

There are many cheap WiFi/BT SDIO modules on the market, but I’d like to have one go-to solution that is known to work well, readily available, and cheap like the ESP parts are as wireless micros.

I don't try to measure how much calories I eat. I just skip meals. Turn out it's a lot easier than eating less per meals. Fasting is much easier for me to do.

However, when your parents constantly ask you if you want to eat, it's a bitch to resists the temptation.

I had lost 20 lbs without needing to keep track of how much food I eat, as opposed to how many meals I eat.

Anyway, I doubt reduction of calories is how you're going to keep your desired weight. CICO in the long term is a failure. Partly, because our model is actually wrong. Exercise is basically useless for reducing calories, because it's both very hard to do a lot of it, and your basal metabolism adjusts in the long run by adjusting itself to be lower. You should still do exercise, and if you can around 750 minutes per week, which is when you start hitting diminishing return.
I think the reason for the speculation it’s wash trading is that unlike the 1952 Mickey Mantle card, there are presumably a lot more Mario 64 cartridges in circulation and thus the auction price seems out of line for the supply available.

Doing a cursory google search, I can see most used cartridges going for ~$25-40. Is an unopened cartridge worth many more orders of magnitude? Possibly, but it at least raises a lot of eyebrows that there’s something else at play.

EDIT: An analogous collectible is probably more something like a black lotus card, which as far as I can tell has “only” procured 500K at auction for a flawless one, and as far as I can tell inferior versions cost an order of magnitude less (10K or so) but nothing near to the spread here.
I think in a real parser your instincts would likely serve you well.

For example, if a string data type was added, our tokenize method could not be this simple.

To the actual question, I think one good approach when cutting corners or doing a quicker sub-optimal approach, is to document the limitations and assumptions in some way. You could then evaluate and prioritise you efforts and time from this, rather than getting stuck in the weeds early in the process.
5,000$ USD might be worth it for a paparazzo or other neerdewel.
The species will be replaced by other better adapted to stand heat that now can be found in lower latitudes. Arctic areas have a lot of starfish, sea urchins and clams. This will change somehow. Most of the brown and red algae will probably disappear before ten years. This means that entire submarine forests could vanish. The worse of all this changes for men would be that Cod will disappear. Cod eggs can't stand heat and we are talking about two of the three more important fishes in the entire planet for us, so the hit will be huge.
Nice, thanks for this, I've no papers on the matter of course but this was always my issue with his drivel on an instinctive level before I was able to elucidate it - namely the lack of even vague attempts at grounding his Uber-mystic theories with empirical foundations, tests.

What may be more amazing is that scrolling through these threads treating K*hneman or others seriously. Invariably if cognitive psych or physiology make the rounds here I feel a serious case of guilty Gell-Mann Amnesia. I mean, is it too much to ask the constituents of this forum to keep the pace ahead of "Ah, Thinking Fast and Slow was really intellectually stimulating" in 2021, or... ever?.
From what I have heard, it interacts with endothelial cells, which are in the lining of blood vessels....I am not a biology person though so I'm just giving some jumping off points for googling.

> A high rating is not enough to guarantee a high auction price - although it helps. Another copy of Super Mario 64 in the same auction with a 9.6 A++ rating sold for a comparatively affordable $13,200

This seems to reinforce some kind of laundering/tax evasion scenario. There is little logical reason for one cartridge to go for $13K and another to go for $1.5mm when both are certified excellent condition. It appears that the one going for far more is a product of timing. Someone needed to move a large chunk of money quickly and decided on the Mario cartridge.
The key criticism is that it yields less, so it doesn't scale. Furthermore, it generally lacks uniformity, so you can't automate either.
Pretty interesting that the lightning strike caused an erroneous YAW command to be sent to the DCU/flight computer.

>Science is the only field where ML would truly shine and be really useful.

There's a lot of hype about ML but this is a really bad take. Just take computer vision, you could come up with a dozen non science use cases in 5 minutes of brainstorming..
I don't use any of them services, but any config that has multiple readers and a single writer (who updates it when it changes) can just be protected by a sync.RWMutex.

The easiest thing to do would be to add a RWMutex to your Config struct. Then have public accessor methods which RLock the mutex while retrieving a field value.

Then when you want to update the config have something like a `Set(c Config)` method which allows you to overwrite the config stored in pointer. This Locks the RWMutex for writing of course.
The reason for that "hyper focus" is due to the "structural and sociological pathologies" that the grandparent posted about. Change the funding model and the rest will follow.

The ability to logout existing sessions (typically either via a manual user action or automatically upon changing/resetting their password) is a desirable feature in essentially all applications where user accounts can be compromised.

You can kind of fake this by using a short-lived JWT and constantly refreshing it, but this:

1. Massively increases server strain and bandwidth usage

2. Has problems with users less reliable connections (they'll be randomly logged out all the time)

3. Makes "Remember Me" style features impossible (unless you use a server-side store for that, which brings us back to it not being stateless)

Here's a good graph on why $method to make JWTs work for sessions is bad: http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/06/19/stop-using-jwt-fo... (note: for some reason the website doesn't support HTTPS :( )

It appears you are attempting to indict the entire field of journalism by referring to a cocktail story told by a sci-fi writer.

Wouldn't it make more sense to study the field and sort journalists into groups based on their performance over time? Even casual sports fan do that kind of work reflexively. I don't get why journalism should be treated any different, and I especially don't get the desire to find an anecdote that could reject the entire field out of hand.

Put differently-- if Glenn Greenwald publishes another leak-based story about state-level corruption, I'll read it and ascribe more veracity to him than I will Crichton's cocktail story. I'll bet you a dollar that when/if I do that, nothing bad will happen as a result.

I've heard this too but don't know a lot about wine. What I have noticed in my 26 years here is that there are more and more drinkable reds growing in the valley, you may not see it so much in the supermarkets but when you go on wine tours it seems like there's more selection of wines that need warmer weather so it does seem like a real possibility. The land is pretty densely farmed, though, so you'd either have to log some hills or displace other crops, not that that would be a problem if it promises to be lucrative.
I wonder if this isn't a bug in the SMAS remake, but rather in the original game.

Maybe brick-blocks taking an extra frame to swap from tiles to sprites for their animations, was something perceived as an unfixed bug (or a necessary compromise, due to per-frame CPU-time limits) at the time of the original's development — one with, perhaps, a "TODO" comment sitting there in the original assembly source. And the development team of the port noticed that, with either more dev time, or with the increased cycles-per-frame available on the SNES, the "bug" was able to be "fixed".

But perhaps — since that team wasn't aware that the change in physics this created was unexpected by the original devs — they thought that the physics resulting from "fixing" this "bug" were the originally-intended physics of the game (i.e. that the animation "bug" was a regression, and fixing it put the game back the way it was in some earlier build), rather than that they were introducing a regression themselves.

These sorts of things are the reason I've always wished version control got used more heavily in the gamedev industry back in the 80s. Then any leak of a game's code-base would actually have a productive use (rather than just serving as poison fruit to aspiring developers): it could be a treasure-trove of data for Software Engineering academics to study the in-industry SwEng practices that lead to "good" games vs "bad" ones.

(I've had a longstanding hypothesis that many "bad" games from the 80s/90s were "good" games for much of their development, but got broken very close to release as they tried to merge in tons of longstanding feature-branches — i.e. the exact problem Continuous Integration tries to address.)
I use Notable.app to track notes on my high school pupils, lesson plans for teaching CS, and instances of individual lessons where I’ve delivered those lessons to different groups of pupils. Also mixed in where log notes on coding clubs, tutorials, staff meetings etc.

It is a great tool and has been game changing. But…

My workflow is inextricably linked to the way I use Notable.app and while I’m kind of happy with it, one way linking without a back button is a massive drag. As a markdown editor it is utterly fantastic. As an organiser of knowledge it is good, but could be better, but I can’t move on from it without a lot of work to migrate my workflow. I’ll get around to it at some point this summer but only if I get comfortable with a workflow in another tool first.

My point: be careful how you integrate these tools into your life. You are basically betting married to them.

They can be amazing. They can also be amazing 90% of the time and leave you high and dry in ways that make you want to move on, but cannot.

I like to emphasize in all of the cross-functional meetings that the engineers are stakeholders, not resources. This is cultural thing, and it helps to point it out often.

If engineers don't have representation at the design/product meetings to voice these concerns/costs, that is creating a structural problem that will continually compound/ratchet up the cost of future development as tech debt increases.

I don't join a company unless they clearly understand both of these things.
