<3 my Feather blades, but I agree with the sibling comment - you should buy some sample packs and find what works well for you. I’ve also had good experiences with Shark blades from my sample packs where general consensus online is mixed on them - it all comes down to your preference and how blades interact with different varieties of facial hair.
Window systems are classically event-driven. Especially earlier single-thread ones from Microsoft.
> The first flight test of a full-flow staged-combustion engine occurred on 25 July 2019 when SpaceX flew their Raptor methalox FFSC engine at their South Texas Launch Site.[8]

(Yes, there are others listed, but SpaceX was first to actually fly something.)
Yes. I am interested in knowing what was done before event driven architecture to make robust asynchronous systems?
That assume it presents as a HID, and not another device profile with more direct attack surface in the hardware or kernel. Windows isolates the USB drivers to thwart such attacks, but perhaps it could manage to attack memory directly through the PCI bus before the kernel’s involvement?

I am not sure of the details, but agree that seems like a rather large amount of hacker effort, when they can currently attack over the internet and demand instant bitcoin payment.
They literally say in the quote your reference that's not the case though, that it's fickle - not a resource you can "deplete".
Facebook should send a highly secure second password for safe keeping when an established (ie not new) account requests it. This password can be entered in emergencies like this to deactivate the account until proper ownership can be established.
Right but what's the ratio of people making dedicated trips for milk vs people who buy it with their other groceries? I'd think most people plan ahead to avoid dedicated trips, but that's just based off my experience.

Focus mode is better because you do not get distracted at all by the ping. This allows people to send you a message at any time and you will see it at some regular interval. I'm fine checking messages once an hour but currently they come in at random times regularly. One 10 message ping is much less distracting than 10 pings.

I would much rather someone press a button to say "This is very important, send it now" over calling me where I have to scramble to turn off my music, put my headphones on, etc before answering.
Workiva Buys Onecloud
This is a bit of a weird derail, presumably because you don't like the idea of the Playdate, but it's worth pointing out that the subscription, in the case of Playdate, works much like milk: It's better as a subscription.

But Playdate is both parts. It's a device built to host a subscription, but the subscription itself only works to support the device. The device is built with deliberate constraints to provoke creativity in game design, and that creativity in game design is what you subscribe to. It's the milk bottle and the milk.

The thing is that no one is buying a Playdate without being aware of what they're getting. There's no hidden catches or unadvertised subscription fees. You can, if you want, just buy a Playdate and sideload content onto it, although you won't get the next season's games and the thing that makes the device special in a lot of people's minds. Without it, you will never get to play Lucas Pope's next game. Without it, Lucas Pope would never make a handheld game operated by a crank.

Does this mean anything to you? Maybe not. If it doesn't, don't buy it and don't subscribe. You probably also don't subscribe to my favourite magazine, Scrimshander's Monthly. People have different interests, and find lots of different things cool, and that's okay.
Maybe this is good? The start of FB going from completely ad-driven to partially a for-pay service?

(I mean... the Quest 2 is probably being sold at a loss with the idea that it'll help make money from ads... but also, the game store, which is not as icky as their privacy-destroying ad business.)
I’d expect the larger the fraud, the more likely for them to be wealthy. It likely tapers off as I don’t expect Bezos to risk jail time to save a few bucks, but I’d bet you’ll have more at the single and double digit millionaire than say the sub $100K net worth.

Personally I cannot stand threaded messaging - maybe it’s the IRC user in me, but I cannot stand having new messages randomly pop up at random points instead of at the bottom. If you have a discussion that is longer term or needs a separate context then spin it off to a different/new channel, otherwise I’ll spend forever searching for it again anyway.
We can fix the Earth's ecology from the damage of the last century and expand into space at the same time - these are not mutually exclusive. There can be enough people and funding to do both. And even better - the technology developed from the latter can assist for the former.

SpaceX has quite a few engineers that learned the practical details of rocketry on the government’s dime. Be it at NASA or Boeing or an aerospace department at a university that gets government funding. I don’t mean to detract from SpaceX’s accomplishment, but they “bootstrapped” themselves the way a rich kid starts a company using the resources and connections put in place by his “family”.
I had no idea HDMI could even do Ethernet.

Can't you configure the ROKU to not create the bridge interface or whatnot to the HDMI? Or doesn't it give that kind of control and will just connect no matter what?

It depends...

If your services are servicing typical user requests, and expect responses in O(<1s), then eventing architectures are exactly the opposite of what you want. Using message brokers (Kafka) as an ersatz network layer is the path to sadness -- you want backpressure, RPC semantics, etc.

Only a few years ago I was the same, but now I've had a little more practice I'm shaving not only my beard but also my head quite effortlessly within 10 minutes and without bloodbaths nearly every day.

It's just a skill that takes some time to develop.

Some general advice, not particularly aimed at you: Try not to focus on the equipment or the blades too much. The Feather blades that are often suggested are overkill and bring the cost back up close to Gilette levels. Even me with my sensitive skin am doing just fine with cheapo Derby blades of questionable and variable quality.
Google uses AI to pick out the highlights from the junk. Loads of factors to use like the geotag to show this looks like a holiday, this is a photo at the beach vs this is a boring photo of a desk.

So there is a load of data but ever improving AI will get better at showing you the cool stuff.

Beware the Moon's Wobble
I'm normally a self-host maxi, so respect for your solution. But may I ask why you didn't use Discord?

I self-hosted a Matrix server for family chat reasons but the encryption key changes (Let's Encrypt) and frequent need to re-login became a hassle for me and the "membership group" at large. Tried out Discord, haven't looked back.

My mother-in-law even created her own Discord "server" (all done very easily in-app) with no help from anyone.

Very slightly worried about content not being in my control, but shopping lists, pictures of the cat being cute, and requests to pre-heat the oven aren't high on my snooping paranoia list.

Yes, it'll work but device trees are still a little less dynamic than modules, which can be loaded and unloaded, and reconfigured at will. Device Trees still apparently have issues with dynamic reconfiguration. I think branches can be safely added, but removal is still problematic. This apparently is being worked on, so eventually it'll work, I understand.

I suppose they could planning to use renewable energy?

> If the output of this is just CaCO3 again, then I fail to see how this is a better solution than carbon capture using a clay geopolymer technique that goes directly to a concrete like structural material.

I don't have a horse in this race, but one possibility is that concrete is a better understood material than some novel "concrete like structural material," so it's more acceptable in safety critical situations (e.g. people know how it fails, how to detect failures, how to remediate problems, etc.).
Or we can take advantage of our compilers instead of mountains of untested linting cruft.
Are there any rules of thumb where such an architecture should be considered? >X TPS? >Y milliseconds per txn? >Z milliseconds between write and subsequent read? Eventual consistency OK?
Tangential question: what is the mechanism by which we observe ‘displacement’ of earlier strains? Is it just the exponentially higher transmission factor of the variant that is making it relatively disappear? Or are they somehow also get out-competed directly?

I saw in another comment here by offmycloud [1] that this affects:

> Android phones and tablets.
"In addition, the Android smartphone operating system (from version 4.0 onwards and possibly earlier; we don't know for sure when the change happened) uses GPSD to monitor the phone's on-board GPS, so every location-aware Android app is indirectly a GPSD client."

Can someone explain how the patch for this will reach all Android devices (especially the large number of devices running older versions of the OS and not getting any updates at all)? What exactly are the consequences for these users?

When I moved to US in late '90s, my mentor told the Milk distribution story/change (NY/NJ). During his grandfather times (I am sure around 1950/60s, Milkman used to enter the home and check how much milk is needed and change the bottle. With time, few crimes and privacy concepts started coming into picture, the milks bottles were left outside.
And now Amazon wants to enterr your home to do exactly what milkman used to do 60-70years back.
Indeed, I almost wrote wealth tax when describing the tax. The difference being I think that capital goods in relation to taxes are most about depreciation. The capital account is meant to be decreasing.

The business optimal situation is for a capital good's book value to reach 0 while the productive use continues unchanged. Thus the business got to buy the machine without paying income taxes on the investment.

Thus from the tax office's perspective handling of capital goods is about preventing too-fast depreciation and or over investment. By such logic any dollar spent on capital goods is a dollar not booked at profit and thus taxed.

About 1/3 of Japan's national tax revenue comes form corporate income tax. Oddly enough, while the capital goods tax is levied by the town, towns do not control their own tax policy. Instead the federal level dictates the exact tax rates down to the prefectural and city level.

Thus in Japan there is little room for the tax centric competition we see in the US. Towns cannot negotiate tax exceptions with industry. Instead the only instances of regional tax preferences in force now were written at the federal level to give various incentives to rebuild the Touhoku region after the tsunami of 2011.

Thus while the town may tax capital goods it is the federal tax authority (NTA) which benefits from the increase in profits.

> Windows isolates the USB drivers to thwart such attacks, but perhaps it could manage to attack memory directly through the PCI bus before the kernel’s involvement?

AFAIK how these attacks essentially work is by imputing key sequences to execute malicious code (eg. typing curl ... | bash into the terminal). There's no driver or pcie/DMA attacks going on.

I saw a number of investment houses (mostly sell-side) do this. This was in the age of ESB (Enterprise Service Bus.)

The architecture made sense since events (new trades or quotes) dictate a host of downstream activites, which often need to be near-real-time reduce divergence.
Hmm... your post is useful for others who are considering Mattermost -- certainly may help others who have similar priorities. That said, I think you could have made the same point without being negative about other product. You aren't trying to be negative, but it does come off that way. I think you could make the same statement and impact without even mentioning Slack or its negatives in your case -- just focus on the positives of Mattermost for your use case.
It's hard to keep milk and bread fresh as long as other things, so you don't buy as much in advance, and therefore run out sooner.

I can buy several weeks of stuff in advance, but not several weeks of milk and bread, or it'll expire, especially bread without many preservatives in certain climates.

Nevermind the fact that a lot of people live in an on-demand, last-minute world. A lot of people do a lot of things last-minute, so that's a contributing factor in this equation, too.

Amazon

A few years ago my dad got an email saying he'd bought something on Amazon, using an account none of us had created. Turned out someone used his email address to make a purchase. We reset the password and logged in. It looked like a legit purchase and seemed plausible, based on the person's name (we saw the shipping location), that it could have been a mistake.
> (d) As a result of all of this, it is very fast.

No, it's very fast because the ChaCha/Salsa20 stream cipher uses common CPU instructions and runs fast in purely software, whereas AES requires things like S-Box computations which is slow in software but fast when implemented as accelerated instructions in hardware. There are IPSEC software stacks using AES acceleration that runs just as fast, not to mention IPSEC hardware offload.

OpenVPN is slow due to architectural constraints, but IPSEC doesn't suffer from that at all. IPSEC tunnels with PSK is also absurdly easy to configure, either on Linux, or a router, what it doesn't offer is native NAT traversal.
Well so it is said, but I'm not sure this is backed up by reality. I'm proposing a change in the law here, and that could include requiring that if workers choose to delegate negotiation to a union representative companies are required to honor that request.

The existing approach is clearly not working that well (as evidenced by plummeting union membership over the years, and the use of tactics by employers to influence union elections) so perhaps it's time to try a different approach.
FIFA is currently trialing a 30:00 half with a countdown clock that stops when play is interrupted. Along with that throwins would become kickins, teams have unlimited substitutions, a yellow card would result in a five minute penalty similar to hockey, and the ability to self-kick (dribble) on set pieces.

The trials took place at the end of July this year at a youth tournament.

You can read a bit more about it at https://theathletic.com/2730341/2021/07/27/the-future-of-foo... if you have a subscription.
This is really interesting, thank you! I'm dreaming about followup then but for learning, with bite-sized text (or video?) plus opportunities to engage with the text, delivered to me (via email) on a regular basis so I don't have to remember to come back to it. But the future emails are contingent on my engagement so it's impossible to get behind. And it could use the anticipation of something new and exciting factor to keep me engaged. Really interesting to think about!

Also I'm thinking about The Little Schemer format and how it includes that engagement in the dialog and the frequent small opportunities to test your thinking.

How cool would it be to subscribe to a "book" and to get the next chapter I have to type out a brief reflection of what I've read so far? It would be up to me to decide how involved to make my "reflection" but it would be really cool to have that prompt.

I suppose blogs work in a similar way for people who read them as they come out and leave comments.

Definitely a lot to think about. This is fun! :)
Sounds like people should start reporting that supermarket chain to the police.
>Nuclear fusion is a more likely answer to spaceflight and Earth's clean energy problem.

Considering we don't even have fission rockets or airplanes in normal use, making a fusion powerplant that is light enough to get off the ground seems very far fetched.

Even if we eventually use fusion for travel beyond earth orbit, I'd bet chemical rockets would still be in use.

Don't we already have thrusters that are useful in space, but completely unable to support themselves against 1G and so they can't lift off from the ground?

I feel like I've read something that said fusion power would fall in the same category.
Sure they bring value, they act as a force multiplier and save individual workers time spent in tedious negotiations where there is a huge asymmetry between worker and employer. It's just delegating an administrative task to a nominee, like being represented by an attorney in any other sort of negotiation.
The UK Office for National Statistics actually puts out estimates for the prevalence of covid antibodies (from both vaccines and infections combined), and you are right on the money!

They estimated that as of June 14, 89.8% of the population would test positive for antibodies.

Indeed, even with Delta’s terrifying R-value, this seems like enough to suppress the virus.
> Shareholders in a business can associate freely and vote as a bloc if so inclined, so I see no reason why workers should not do the same.

However, shareholders cannot opt-out of being represented by a slate of directors, and choose to interface with the company's management on a 1-1 basis. If a shareholder abstains from voting for directors, or if their preferred candidate(s) lose, they still get represented by the board that was voted-in by the majority.
My favorite Amish meme:

Modern person asking an Amish guy why they haven't gotten COVID, and the Amish guy replying that its because they don't have Television.
It seems what they do is Ocean Water + Sorbent -> Leaches Carbonates for use in Cement -> Heated in Kiln -> Releases C02 -> Captured and redissolved in Ocean water. This still has to be proved how to reabsorb such large amounts of c02 in ocean water.
They'd also need a significant source of Calcium.

> one possibility is that concrete is a better understood material than some novel "concrete like structural material," so it's more acceptable in safety critical situations (e.g. people know how it fails, how to detect failures, how to remediate problems, etc.).

Your explanation and argument looks correct to me. However, I should point out that concrete structures fail regularly and frequently, and sadly with great loss of human life, most recently in Miami. I should also point out that I've seen this argument used as a tactical trick. I watched a Microsoft rep using this argument successfully convince a management team that they should use Embedded Windows instead of Linux because, just as you pointed out, "we know how it fails", "we know how to detect failures", "we know how to remediate problems".
Like any templating engine there's always just enough power given to have the ability to write something stupid or complex in the template. Again not really a problem in practice.

The scary underscore expression you're referring to can easily just be written as a reversedList variable in "normal" JS and get referenced plainly in the template. So the template expression syntax never has to be as messy as you might think it is.
Those also have low breakthrough rates (assisted by high vaccination percentages), giving it relatively no opportunity to evolve. They also had millennia to reach (and then work to maintain) peak fitness, while COVID is still encountering beneficial mutations somewhat frequently.
I kind if like the idea of an SDE running an oops as a service side hustle.

Maybe that is a fair outcome. In sectors that are more labor constrained the unions would still have power to negotiate and it wouldn’t be unilateral. And the formation of multiple unions and competition between multiple unions and individuals may be healthy.
Those could be scarce on a solar scale, but probably not on a galactic one.
