The tomato thing is no mystery - superparkets sell tomatoes taken off the vine weeks before they a ripe, because a ripe tomato is very gentle and will not survive handling.

And the message you are replying to is correct, supermarket tomatoes are different variety, farmers get paid for mass, not for taste.

Supermarkets have giant charts that determine shape, roundness, and colour of tomato. They will buy perfectly round, red tomato that tastes like water. They will not buy an ugly but tasty tomato from a farmer.

Fighting authoritarianism by working with the North Korean government.

How does that work?
No, it wouldn’t. Case in point: Excel has ability to spread a calculation over multiple lines, but the bugs are not down.

In fact, people who are aware of Alt-enter produce buggier code: they end up writing longer formulas, with fewer intermediate results displayed, and have less visibility of the functioning of their spreadsheets.

Write simpler formulas.

Exactly. Good luck to anyone upgrading the RAM or storage on that thing yourself. It is beyond risky to do this [0] (The article title is also misleading and ignores the extreme risk).

I don't think that [0] is remotely an option to the end user.

I don't think there's an obligation in a comment to address the parent of a post you are responding to, let alone all the parents which we'd get if that obligation was there and transitive :)

You can also address only a part of the comment, like I did here. For instance, I have not given an opinion on the latter part of your comment.
That data URI happens to use `document` which happens to be a browser global, so most data URIs won't work.

e.g. running the above in Node gives:

Uncaught ReferenceError: document is not defined

For anyone unfamiliar with JS, the above string is parsed as:

He willingly violated international sanctions against NK. Just traveling there already takes a huge amount of preparation and intent - to the point where he was likely interrogated before leaving the US as to why he's traveling to NK.

If you sold weapons to terrorists you'd be facing similar charges.

re the streaming thing, I assume the intent is that a server can stream a zipfile trivially while generating its contents on the fly. and then write the central directory at the end. It can't easily be read while streaming, but it's a great choice for writing a stream
Gumroad seems to be focusing more and more on creators with a large following and is pivoting towards that segment of the market. This includes the decision to diversify into physical products, subscribing to a user (like Patreon), email marketing, affiliate marketing, blogging, and so on.

Given their refocus/pivot, it's made their interface a little too complex/overwhelming for new sellers and/or sellers who just want to sell digital products without all the hassle. SellApp is built for this segment of the market.
I need to understand. Lets say I have an inquisitive 8 year old kid at home who does arduino and pi and 3d printing and Python and now even does YouTube and stuff.
They are saying now that they have implemented telemetry that a resident offline software cannot be used by aged 13 and below? Why?

What has the law to do with offline apps on a personal computer owned by a family home when the machine is supposed to be "family machine". The next thing you know windows will forbid ages 13 and below from using their products?

Its not like there are dangers of pedos by using audacity? What about "YouTube kids"? How is that allowed when its online with automated content moderation but audacity is not for kids?
Yeah, same, what if I accidentally end up in North Korea giving a talk on money laundering? It could happen to anyone. I'm petrified.
I wonder how long we'll go without another nuclear explosion used in war. I think the armageddon scenario is quite unlikely, simply because so few people have access to the needed amount of nukes to pull it off. It's only a couple of states which can do it. One of those states even survived a regime change without those nukes being triggered. However, there has been a trend of smaller states obtaining nuclear weapon capabilities. The more states you have, the more likely it is that one of them is willing to use the bomb.

So I think rather talking about whether these small states will use nukes, we should talk about when this will happen. 30 years? 50? 100? 500?
Yeah, I need to implement a binary search maybe once a year. I had a legit use of a priority queue a couple years ago and I'm still excited about it!

I've still never had a professional use for a Trei structure. I tried really hard to make a case for it on a project at Google, but it just didn't make sense vs. slapping down std::map and then drinking a beer.
Varicella is more infectious than SARS-CoV-2 and it's under control with vaccines, same pattern: spread through the air, R0 chickenpox > R0 COVID-19, vaccines help with immunity and even when infected developing a mild version of the disease.

There is hope, we might not get rid off it but if we could control chickenpox that is quite more infectious, we can have a little hope. Even more with more modern medicine.
> All current variations of concern come from mostly unvaccinated countries.

Isn't it more significant not where they emerge (which is by random mutation) but where they do well? And don't they seem to do well in countries that have vaccinated more people?

Is it even particularly easy to say where a variant originated? Could the mutations happen multiple times independently?
Just because information is publicly available does not mean they know how to best utilise that information. You can find guides online on how atomic bombs work, but if a physicist traveled to North Korea and gave a talk instructing them how to build an atomic bomb that person should absolutely be arrested.

The Ethereum Foundation dev was arrested over a year ago after US authorities claimed then-36-year-old’s conference presentation contained info that North Korea could leverage to launder money and skirt sanctions.

Griffith was denied permission to travel to North Korea by the State Department but decided to attend the DPRK Cryptocurrency Conference anyway.

North Korea is reportedly keen to find ways to get around sanctions imposed by what it regards as a US-led financial system.

He gave a talk that instructed NK how to use cryptocurrency to avoid sanctions imposed by the US government, after the US government explicitly forbade him from giving that talk.

Very hard to feel sympathy for the guy.
> and typically it did not take weeks to do that.

You're not seeing the process and effort that went into it, which can be considerable.
I can't actually beleive people in this thread are downplaying someone travelling to North Korea to explain to them how to evade economic sancations. This is literally confirming all the worst things people say about crypto-currencies. What's happening in North Korea isn't a joke, we have sanctions for a reason.
Modern CPUs are an order of magnitude more complex and usually built on a smaller process, yet we have no trouble putting them on intermediary PCBs to spread out contacts and allow larger pins. I see no reason we couldn't make LGA sockets for DRAM chips in the same way.
I imagine that's just perception; as in reality cannabis impairs cognitive functions such as motor control, and problem solving.

On the other hand, Amphetamines would definitely help you clean your office more efficiently; but you wouldn't want to stop there!
He was expressly told by very serious people not to do it. He knew the consequences.
"anything grown the way you describe taste like nothing compared to an healthy plant"

That's absolutely not true, it's been tested by thousands of people and you can try it yourself. Taste is affected by variety and ripeness, waay before it has anything to do with the soil.
To paraphrase Ummon in the Hyperion book series, “science tells us that giraffes evolved long necks to eat leaves at the top of trees. What it doesn’t tell us is why no other animals evolved long necks”

Whenever we try to simplify AI decision into an “explanation” we throw out 99.9% of the information. In fact, all we did was make the AI more complicated by requiring that it spit out a “reason” alongside its result.
People who "need access" doesn't everyone brainwashed by an authoritarian dictator need access to the internet to help themselves escape?

Not everyone who needs access has access. A select few who are at the mercy of the dictator do to do his work.

Some people have been known to try to sneak across the border and meet Chinese people in the woods to exchange goods.

Some people send balloons with notes from the outside world over the border to reach people inside.

Perhaps a select few have some garnered enough information about how to use the internet without getting caught they are willing to risk being murdered to do so if they find something dire enough using the internet for but to say people who "need" the internet fire up wiregaurd and call it a day before watching their daily stream of YouTube influencers is an understatement to say the least...
> In a universe where you want high-performance energy efficient RAM [.....] You simply can’t have this with socketed RAM.

You make it sound like a prerequisite. I'm pretty sure the reason LPDDR is Low Power is not due to (currently) being unavailable in socketed modules - that would seem to be a side-effect of the original target market (smart phones).

They are just some BGA packages, I see no reason they couldn't be soldered onto a board with a socket. If you scan through the features that make LPDDR LP, they have nothing to do with sockets, or anything affecting sockets: lower operating voltage, more power states, partial refreshing etc:

Folk post this on every thread as if denying the effect somehow makes it go away. As both a candidate and hiring manager, the effect is very real and it is folly to ignore it. As a candidate, I landed a FANG job early in my career almost exclusively on the basis of my (poor quality) tech blog attracting the attention of a recruiter. As a hiring manager, I've dumped all resumes for a position and practically begged an extremely young (barely legal) candidate to interview and work for me on any terms just based on the strength of the passion found in their resume and web site.

Simon's article is expressly about how little work is required to exploit this effect. You can still have a life outside of work while presenting the appearance of being passionate about what you do during work, it's really not hard.
The problem is, do you think it helps the NK people when you make an embargo? The government gets his caviar and plasma tv's anyway, AND the gorverment has a good/true point that the rest of the world is evil.

Embargoes just don't work in such a closed down country.
The fact that he was allowed to give the talk indicates that the North Korean government was happy for these people to know this information. So they also would have been fine with giving the same people the same information from the internet.
I can certainly say that it is a "degenerate regime that has killed millions".

As for your new question, I would argue that yes, this fits the US.
This is a very useful article. He has a few Illustrator techniques that are helpful.

Icon design is really difficult. Simple is hard.

A good rule of thumb, for me, is that I always begin my illustrations in vector; usually with Illustrator. If possible I keep them as vector.

An icon should always work as monochrome; preferably pure black-and white. Color should be “icing on the cake.”

An icon should be immediately recognizable, even when very small or fuzzy, and in monochrome.

Not so easy.
Sorry how is that regime any different from the US?

No idea what he had to gain by travelling to north korea, but more power to him. If it's public info then yeah this is a sham considering that the international financial system is a cartel.
Ending Monorepo vs Polyrepo Debate
Monorepo vs polyrepo is increasingly becoming an ongoing debate among frontend teams. In this article, we take you through the pros and cons of both these approaches. You'll get to know about the use cases suitable for each of these approaches and have a better idea as to which one you should employ.

Component-driven development and micro frontend architecture are the two most sought after ways to build scalable frontend during web app development. The crux behind both these approaches is to break down the frontend into smaller entities. One method enables you to achieve this through smaller components while the other has the provision for building micro frontends.

While both these approaches offer a great deal of flexibility and scalability to your frontend, they also leave you with a lot more moving parts compared to what you’d have on a conventional frontend monolith. With a lot more on the plate, companies start feeling the need of a system that offers them better visibility over the disparate components, makes it easier to manage dependencies, and facilitates product reusability at the same time.

Check out the original article to read more about Ending Monorepo Vs Polyrepo Debate.
I'm surprised the plant lives at all in that state... One would imagine RNA methylation is used for all kinds of logic and mechanisms in plant cells, so arbitrarily removing them all would break stuff.

It would be like a programmer saying "let's just comment out every line of code starting with "if" in the windows source code, and then see if it boots faster!
Nihilism makes me believe that Trump was not such abnormal occurrence.

Human minds have a innate desire for virtue and truth, and since objectivity doesn't exist, it becomes difficult to admit that voters would end up create an alternative truth, or at least not at this scale.

I think it always came from the fact that truth doesn't really exist. Humans can really believe anything. There is no good and no evil.

In a way, nobody should have been surprised that Trump would get elected. I don't think "misinformation" really exists, it's just unsettled disagreements about what information and truth is. What happened in 2016 was an anomaly, but it was never impossible.
They are indeed not the same. After all NK does not regularly drone-strike civilians in the middle east.
Plants already have proteins that do this [1], but modifying them or adding new ones can affect phenotype as shown by this study.

I’m sure Microsoft has the stats that shows almost no one uses drag and drop
The UK now has a similar test positivity rate to what it had in November 2020 yet a hugely vaccinated population.

If the vaccinated aren't spreading it then you're suggesting that the unvaccinated have become drastically more infectious for no apparent reason and in ways that don't show up in contract tracing data. I think the alternative explanations are more likely to be correct: the vaccine is actually not a vaccine in the traditional sense, it's more like a prophylactic. Vaccinated people aren't getting an immune response in the normal areas where it would usually enter and exit, like the nose and lungs, instead it's being injected into the arm.

Also, COVID tests don't actually detect COVID or even SARS-CoV-2, they detect RNA debris from destroyed SARS-CoV-2. Thus it's expected that if someone's body fights off the virus immediately if they're exposed to it, they will still test positive.
Cars don't need to be very small. Repairability depends on modularity, modularity requires compromises about size.

Isn't that the point? Stressful experiences become less stressful as you practice and get used to them.

I used to be stressed out speaking in front of 20 colleagues or landing a small plane. Not anymore.
I don't think you'll find any. The way I understand it, the savings come from the new LP variant of DDR chips and nobody ever bothered to put them on DIMMs.

And even if the DIMM design (it's more than just a slot) doesn't make sense anymore, we could easily make a new "dumb" memory slot standard that would allow us to swap out the chips directly - like we have for CPUs.
I had no idea this was a thing, and I've been using Windows since before Windows 3.0.
Because typically code will be read far more than it is written and by far more people than contributed to it. In many cases I won't have the relevant tooling installed let alone know how to use it because I don't use that language myself. (For example, a library written in Rust that exposes C bindings whose prebuilt artifact I might download and link against.)

That being said, I 100% wholeheartedly approve of enforcing code formatting (among other things) on commit. Pre-commit hooks and linters are both awesome.
Awesome, that’ll go a long way! Thanks.
It looks like a rather oversimplified model: the examples assign the same overhead to any component, transformation, or feature, so anything monolithic or that can be grouped together is favoured, even if buggy, clunky, or poorly supported. Transformations may be awkward (lossy, or having to make assumptions and make up some data, and/or dealing with poorly specified formats), which makes them unequal as well, but it's often arguable which ones are simpler. Features may have different priorities, but even if they don't, I imagine them to be among requirements, not up to technical decisions; if they were, it'd be another way to hack the resulting value by adding useless ones. And ignoring all that, it just says that systems with fewer components are generally simpler.

It seems to be the case with most talks about simplicity: pretty much everyone agrees that it's good, but disagrees on what it means and how to estimate it.
Could a search engine improve its results with upvote and downvote buttons? It would of course be a lot of work to prevent SEO people to destroy the technology again, but it may be a simple solution to remove the scams and spams.
You don't understant the volumes involved in farming, 4 inches of soil * area of 1000 hectares = 3 million tons of material.
We can make an educated guess though, right? They didn't evolve them quick enough, so were out competed by the giraffes, for example. I know you were making a more general point, but I just wanted to throw that in.
The US government forbidding a citizen from giving a talk sounds quite totalitarian to me. Looks like the constitution of the US is not worth any more than the paper that it is written on.
The tomatoes you find in a shop have been picked before they are ripe so that they ripen during transport. This improves yields and reduces spoilage and bruising.

However, it results in a tomato that - while it looks like a normal tomato - the sugars and other flavours don't develop in the same way, rendering it bland.

If you want to buy tomatoes that taste good, you can get them from a farmers market and they will taste a lot better - even if grown in the same soil with the same techniques as the supermarket tomatoes. Alternatively canned/frozen/preserved tomatoes tend to be made with naturally ripened tomatoes. Obviously you can't really used those tomatoes the same way you'd use a raw tomato, though.

This isn't specific to tomatoes, many commercial fruits and veggies are picked before they're ripe.
That's not something that's ever been a problem with vaccines before.

Even if you have unshakeable faith in this evidence-free perversion of biological theory, nobody was claiming the vaccines will fail without 100% adoption last year when they launched. Their reception would have been rather different if that had been claimed, wouldn't it? So you can either believe this is true, in which case governments and pharma firms deceived people about the nature of the 'vaccine', or you can believe it's false and they didn't. But you can't believe it's true and it's the other people who are deceivers. That makes no logical sense.
If we’re sharing cockatoo pictures, here’s one from 2019: on a table in Halls Gap, a cockatoo eating some pizza crust that it had been given by a tourist, sitting right beside a sign that I can only interpret as “don’t feed the kookaburras”: https://temp.chrismorgan.info/DSC06148.JPG
I do not believe that you're asking "how is the NK regime different to the US one" in good faith.
Rust's Option can't be simply dereferenced causing UB, so `val.is_some() & val.kaboom()` doesn't compile.

Rust doesn't have implicit conversion between booleans and integers, so a problematic `true & 2` does not compile either.

Rust does allow `true & true`, but booleans are strictly 0 or 1 in value, so you wouldn't get a wrong result, apart from eager evaluation. There's needless_bitwise_bool clippy lint for it.
Many young people have still a low chance of severe course of the disease but they are pushed to get vaccinated. My issue with the disease is not the severe course, which some people are pretty well protected from, but the lasting tissue and organ damage going thru the infection with or without a vaccine. I yet have to see a study showing that vaccines prevent such damage. We will have huge epidemics of CVDs after this is over as nobody really pays now close attention to people who pass thru the disease with or without symptoms.
It appears some people are still so uneducated about life in north Korea they believe they believe the people can fire up a browser extension and overthrow the government or something.

Alot of people don't WANT to leave either and have been so brainwashed they are terrified of the outside world and believe it is a lawless land filled with gang warfare and burning trashcans, according to one of my friends who got to tour there which is a very rare privilege and outsiders are supervised every moment on a state sponsored tour after being forced to leave flowers at the dictators picture upon landing in North Korea and anyone who refuses to do so before following their sanctioned state sponsored tour (no unsupervised interactions with any citizens is allowed the entire time) is sent back on the plane immediately. The tour guide asked him how he had survived the outside world so long and if he was so relieved to finally be in a safe place when he got on....

I'm not sure the dictator is suddenly going to allow them to download Google chrome and install metamask and pretend he doesn't know what's going on and watch his country be overthrown he would more likely nuke his own people first.
Usually they copy them wrong and dont know why its not working
