You have to distinguish between the available force that the constant-torque motor is able to produce and the actual force that is exerted on the working fluid by the piston.

Yes, the crankshaft confers the greatest mechanical advantage at the top and bottom of the stroke; that's an excellent observation. The position vs time plot of a crankshaft follows a sine wave, the velocity (as a derivative of position) follows a cosine, and the acceleration available from a constant input torque follows the derivative of the position, again a sine wave. However, this available force does not meant that the exerted force at the top of the stroke is high, as it needs a reactive force to work against. This force is mostly provided by the fluid pressure, rather than by a velocity-dependent force like friction.

At the top of stroke, the gas is not under significant compression, so it takes minimal force to move the piston. Near the bottom of the stroke, when the gas is maximally compressed, there is maximum force on the piston. When the pressure exceeds the output of the compressor, the air begins to exit through the check valve. Another complicating factor is that there are typically two pistons on the same crankshaft, so as the piston returns the gas remaining in the cylinder is working with the motor. The final and most complicated part of the problem is that the whole point is that the gas being compressed is not an ideal Hooke's law spring where PV = constant, it's undergoing adibatic compression, where P x V x gamma = constant, where gamma is the specific heat of the refrigerant, and the temperature changes through the compression.

You can improve your intuitive understanding of these relationships with an ordinary bike pump and the bike's pedals. When the pump is fully up, there's little resistance, you can feel the force increase when it's almost at the bottom, and you can feel and hear the air going into the tire for a short length of the stroke at the bottom. Likewise, pushing vertically on the pedals (avoid pushing forward or pawing backwards) does the same thing as a crankshaft.
It's a mix of politics and science, though. You might argue about the US, ok. But what about Iceland? Singapore? Switzerland? Etc, etc, ad nauseam.

Not every government out there is super abusive.

The alternative is that they're all crazy (and/or malicious), and that's a <<very>> difficult thing to prove. So difficult that the simpler explanation is that they are following scientific processes, slightly mixed with politics and also... full of mistakes because we're all human.
I agree, but I'm framing this entire talk about why people use microservices / these technologies prematurely. If you're at Twitter's scale, not only do you have a technical requirement to scale such an endpoint more than others, but also a people problem in that you want teams to be a bit more autonomous in the work that they do. None of that really applies to most companies. I just feel like most companies blindly model their developent practices off of FAANG when it actually hinders their development velocity instead of helps it.
This is nice, and having 95% of the code shared across platforms is no small task.

One thing I miss with 1.1.1.1 and WARP is DNS based ad blocking and filtering. NextDNS has handled that part quite well, allowing multiple profiles (so you can have different rules for different devices) to be setup in a single account. One can choose different filter lists and manage custom allow/deny lists too. The simpler filter lists are what one would choose with something like uBlock Origin. The NextDNS app on iOS is also just a DoH DNS provider and not a “VPN” app. This allows using another VPN app (or VPN service) while simultaneously relying on NextDNS for DNS.

I understand that Cloudflare wants users to use WARP+ for routing traffic too, but it would be useful to add more flexible DNS filtering capabilities (similar to NextDNS) and also provide for a non-VPN setup on iOS. As I understand it, the Cloudflare DNS service has a malware blocking/family mode and another (default) one that’s not.
And white corporate politicians and lawyers and the other empty nutsacks responsible for dismantling America's ability to make anything at scale, or to be self sufficient. There's nothing wrong with diversity, it's what they used diversity and other virtue signaling to cover for.

The failings and benefits of globalization are pretty well understood at this point, but some of us are pissed off that the boomers thought it was a great idea to hand off almost all important manufacturing to an antagonistic, imperialist country whose tenets are fundamentally antithetical to basic American principles and human rights.
Exactly. This weird 21st century idea of military as gracious nation building conquerer is weird and we are not good at that.

Note that, conversely, force on force "wars" are won very quickly. We should have left Afghanistan in 2002.
Australia has had an order of magnitude fewer infections than elsewhere in the world. We have come close to eliminating its spread altogether several times, so it should come as no surprise that the proportion of deaths is higher than somewhere else that has failed to contain the illness.
Conversely, I'm trying to imagine what would have happened if hiv had appeared in the social media age.

Thalidomide was perfectly safe, too, until kids started being born without arms and legs. Oops.
The normal sequence of tests aren’t about human safety for the general public their about human safety of the test subjects in the clinical trials including primates. So they did pre clinical trials like this one, but they did fast track to primate testing. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.08.280818v1

At this point we have more data on COVID vaccinations than most prescription medications as their so widespread.
It did go out of fashion and I'm not sure why that is. I do have some ideas and opinions...

AFAIK, JetBrains builds all of their excellent IDEs with Java + Swing. Old school for sure, but it works great. If I were building something new today, I would definitely consider Java on both the client and server sides.
How are you conscious of types without any tooling? And if you use tooling, then what's the difference?
Way more often than I ever expect, BBC headlines can be clueless, dopey, archaic, unintelligible (I find these especially funny) and/or just plain wrong. "Twitter storm" is at least a couple of those.

Yes, the trip itself was discussed here. This follows up by diving into the unexpectedly robust response. Cheers.
The web-site should not suppose anything. It'd better not change defaults at all and deliver conventional colors. If it offers an optional switch to change theme to dark that would be appreciated. But not the fact that it makes and force choice for a user who didn't ask for it.
Being opposed to mRNA gene therapy is NOT the same as being anti-vax. Likewise, being opposed to any vaccine which is developed using stem cells or tissue from aborted babies due to deeply held moral convictions doesn't make one anti-vax. A true anti-vaxxer is opposed to vaccine EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS. There are very, very few people in that fringe category.

It only sounds silly because no one would say that. You cannot change the argument and pretend you won a fight
The quote is to describe the aforementioned integration trope, not sure it has a succinct name beyond that hence the long description in quotes. It first got really popular when it was note one of the iPhone A* processors added JavaScript specific rounding to much "that's how safari can be so great on this device release, it integrates straight to the hardware" only to find out from a safari dev it hadn't even gained that yet. Yes end to end integration is a huge boon to a consistent user experience but it doesn't change efficiency nearly as !uch as some like to think, certainly not more than can be gained from normal optimizations still available and it's certainly not the ultimate goalpost even for consistent experience just a great aid.

> But you _also_ don't get to force other people to risk infection with SARS-COV-2 because of your decision.

No one is forcing them to risk infection. If you don't want to risk infection, stay home!

And now you hit the crux of the issue. Who gets to decide who stays home?

It's a false comparison to say that an unvaccinated person is "forcing" someone to take a risk.
I have a suggestion for this and other projects like it:

When you are establishing a standard that clients and servers will advertise that they adhere to, don't leave technical decisions to the end-user by default. Make the best decision that you can.

In this document, there's discussion about STARTTLS vs TLS-from-the-beginning, and how to deal with that in the UI. Don't do that. Decide that TLS-from-the-beginning is the requirement for client-server interactions, and now you don't have a UI issue. You already decided that /resource and priority were not going to be useful; make this decision too.

In general, resolve incompatibilities.

> Isn't it hypocritical that people accuse the young not taking the vaccine of being selfish, while hoarding the vaccines away from vulnerable people in poorer parts of the world?

It can only hypocritical if it is the same people making both arguments.
I have a friend of mixed Taiwanese/Japanese descent, fluent in Japanese. Living in Japan for over 10 years, striving to fit in, still an outsider.

Maybe it's harder for them because they look Japanese and don't get the leeway given to foreigners.
> Not to mention the majority of Node and FE developers who continue to use JS.

I don't think this is true any more. According to https://2020.stateofjs.com/en-US/technologies/javascript-fla... 78% of JS devs actively use TypeScript
Most news articles I have read on the topic has been consistently misleading. Let’s say 1/5 vaccinated people can get asymptomatic infection and they spread at the same rate as unvaccinated people, almost all stories and articles fail to make the distinction that it’s 75% less infectious and treat the two as equally bad.

You can see headlines like “vaccinated people spread coronavirus at the same rate as unvaccinated people”
There's a difference between forcing someone who has a disease to isolate, and forcing someone who's not vaccinated against a disease to isolate.

Then those people should be at least as scared of the unvaccinated as COVID itself. That will be their primary infection vector.
Someone might be holding out for a reason they can't articulate or justify, so they give have an answer to your question (what would it take to change your mind?) but it might not be the true one or the sufficient one.

I hope that this latest change sways some people but I don't think it will be a lot.
I've been using the Logitech G502. While the mouse does work using standard USB drivers all the extra features require an open source program to manipulate.
This is no quote, so please dont make it look like one.

Also, the comparison is nonsense. If someone drinks and drives, they did intake something into their system which made them a risk to others. What you want is the reverse. Everyone is by default a risk to the society, and only if the get a biannual shot from the latest and greatest experimental medicine, you deem them no danger to society. You are trying to outlaw the human condition. There are people who think this is a big deal and needs to be opposed. I agree.
It's greatly to computings discredit that software is, in general, less flexible, less powerful, less capable of interoperability. Oh sure there were thousands of incompatible different IR protocols in the past, but at least they used a common & interoperable physical transport.

Software ought to be "soft", malleable, controllable, but we've made so little progress in setting up general systems, in externalizing & exporting our interfaces, in enabling higher level or emergent systems.

Perhaps the best counter-example I can think of to my above screed is Unified Remote, which is a daemon I run on my desktop that let's me control a variety of different apps from my phone. https://www.unifiedremote.com/remotes/all

There's always a hope that IoT somehow gets it's act together & makes devices more readily programmable, scriptable. Thusfar it's felt like another place where computing has built walls & tried to claim territory, rather than surface & share & interoperate, but hope springs eternal. On the desktop there are few modern places to look, to have hope, in universality of computing, in intertwingularizing all the things.
For the people in favor of a mandate... What happened to My Body My Choice?
The US didn't lose the war in Afghanistan, it won that remarkably quickly. It lost the peace - temporarily at least.

But personally I wouldn't be quite so quick to write off 20 years of somewhat liberalism, and widespread internet access, in terms of that nation's development.

This is not exactly true. Keeping your infectious host alive longer, will increase transmission.

This is why there is an evolutionary pressure for all diseases to keep your host alive, and why some diseases/parasites ultimately evolve to be less harmful/lethal.
In my experience, the intent of people asking me why I don’t want to vaccinate is almost never to really understand my perspective and my reasons for not doing so. Instead the goal is usually to find the first statement I make that they feel they can easily attack (ignoring all other reasons I state), and then attack that statement and conclude that I am a conspiracy theorist antivaxxer.
severe hand psoriasis, and heavy use. Can't really abide gloves or keyboard condoms either.
Eh. Why is it okay for a website to only have a light mode, but not okay for a website to have only a dark mode?
The current statistics around breakthrough cases are not very clear (we have case studies but are lacking broader studies). We do know that vaccinated people can get the virus, can develop an infection, and spread it. We do not yet know exactly how frequently each of those outcomes occur, but the data seem to show that the possibility of each is definitely lower for each of the steps in spreading it. So until more data arrive to dispute this point, to the best of knowledge vaccinated people spread the virus less by virtue of: reduced ability to contract the infection and reduced time of being able to spread if infected. I don't know how much reduction is offered, but the post to which you are replying is not rendered inaccurate by vaccinated people having the capacity to spread the virus.
This is without joke what I'm actually thinking about doing. I just can't get on with Javascript, and that's with 4 / 5 years of Vue development. I hate that I can't just come back to a project 6 months later and build it. Something always breaks. Everything feels super fragile. So I might just learn Go and stick to backend only and embrace all the things I spoke about hating in my post just so I can avoid Javascript. You can't win
"It's not a perfect solution so we might as well do nothing instead!"

Come on. Getting vaccinated has more than enough utility for you and for others to make it a good choice on either principle alone.
What disease are you talking about? Smallpox doesn't have an animal reserve, Rinderpest doesn't infect humans.
I think the analogy is that there is a small percentage of our population that cannot drive a vehicle without dying and so everyone has to stay home and not drive in order to get rid of the .06% of of the population that will die driving on the road.
The article also explains about the significant risk reduction for getting & passing it on, so I think the point still stands.
It supports typescript, but you're not required to use it.
Ahh, I too remember when escalators instead of stairs were seen as so insane that the public couldn't tell whether the mall owners were serious...
Logitech/Razer/Corsair, all trash software. Thankfully I was able to work around having to use Razer with some open source software but I'm still stuck with Logitech (Logitech G Hub) for my camera and Corsair (iCue) for my headset. /Every/ /single/ /time/ I join a Zoom/video chat I have to open G Hub to fix the zoom level (set it back to 100%, it's stuck zoomed in ~120%). It's incredibly infuriating to join every meeting zoomed in, have my video freeze for 1-5 seconds when I open the camera settings in G Hub, then have my image pop to the right size (note: I don't have to click anything, just open the camera settings to fix it). Also I have to close (red button in top right of the G Hub window, not full quit) the G Hub window in between meetings (If I leave it up and just back out of the camera settings it won't fix the camera when I click back into the camera). Also sometimes G Hub just doesn't open and it's got 2-4 (lghub, lghub_updater, lghub_agent, lghub Helper) processes that you have to kill in quick succession to really kill the software (or they will restart each other) before you can restart it and try again. It also appears to need an update once a week or so which is fun to find out when you open it to fix the zoom level and have to wait until it finishes updating and relaunching.

Razer was a huge PITA constantly forgetting my config and I couldn't be happier now that I have Karabiner handling everything for my Razer device.

Corsair makes a great wireless headset that plays nice with Mac and has good range (I can walk around almost all of my house and stay connected which is a godsend for Zoom hangouts with friends). Unfortunately, their software, iCue, is trash. It regularly tells me my headset is "Unavailable" when it's working just fine and if I leave my headset off the charger (aka, I don't plug in it) and it goes to sleep then it's a 50-50 chance that it will forget it's config. I couldn't care less about the RGB nonsense on the ear cups but the bright LED on the mic boom (green = on, red = off) is distracting. Thankfully they have a setting to only show the LED when the mic is off (exactly what I want, I want visual confirmation I'm muted). The problem is if it loses it's config that defaults back to always on and I have to do a dance of killing the iCue software and relaunching it until it fixes itself.
Yep, you're gonna leave us alone from now on. Also I'll decide for myself what to fear, thanks.
It could be simply from a human being to their dog, who chases a deer and passes it on.
I'm a long-time Node user but decided to use Deno for a personal project and found that it's is a pleasure to work with. Some highlights:

- TypeScript works out-of-the-box without configuration
- includes modern browser APIs like fetch() without needing to import additional dependencies
- The Deno-specific APIs (like Deno.readTextFile()[0]) are Promise-based and have intuitive interfaces
- The Deno standard library[1] reduces the need for 3rd party dependencies, since it covers a lot of cases where one would be needed

I haven't yet used Deno in a commercial product, but I believe I will in the future because Deno seems ready for primetime.

You might want to reevaluate your definition of low risk thanks to the delta variant.

My wife is a pediatric ER doctor (but because the adult ER is so swamped with COVID patients they're now seeing all patients up to 25), during the first few waves of COVID, she saw almost no severe cases in children and young adults. There were plenty of kids who came in with COVID, but she didn't admit a single otherwise healthy kid or young adult because of COVID.

In the last week, she's admitted 3 17 year olds to the PICU, and they've admitted many more than that to the floor for treatment.

>It's stories like this --gov't makes out of court settlements and vaccine retracted-- that give a lot of credibility to those against/ hesitant towards vaccination.

We have now administered billions of doses of MRNA vaccines. The safety profiles are more well known than a large percentage of drugs on the market that most people would take without a moment's hesitation.

Historically vaccines have been taken off the market b/c of issues that were too uncommon to show up in trials, which consist of only a few thousand or tens of thousands of people. The side effects were so rare that they only showed up once millions of people started taking them.

There has never been a vaccine that was pulled off the market for a side effect that took a year to show up.
...and also, 40 years is not a long time for disease evolution. ...especially one like HIV which has a much lower transmission rate than a respiratory virus.

Mine never crash on Gentoo. I have 32 GB of RAM though.

> How else does a 21st century military lose to someone living in the sixth century?

Part of the reason is this type of chronic underestimation of the enemy. The Taliban may hold some socially outdated ideas, but their use of digital communications and machine guns is absolutely not "from the sixth century". Rule 1 of warfare is to never underestimate your opponent.

The main problem the US had was that from basically day 2 (day 1 being spent winning the conventional war) they were looking for a way to leave the country again and everybody there knew it. If you are not looking to annex the conquered territory indefinitely (which is extremely unpopular in western countries for PR reasons) then eventually you will have to leave and so your opponents only need to find a way to survive until then.
