Isaac Asimov's _Understanding Physics_ is older (1966) but is meant for the general reader or to supplement a textbook. It uses algebra and only a little trig.

J. D. Bernal's _A History of Classical Physics_ (1972) begins with ideas from ancient Greece and goes to the end of the 19th century. No math, but lots of pictures and diagrams. I have a 1997 reprint.

Stephen F. Mason's _A History of the Sciences_ (1962) covers chemistry and biology as well as physics, from Babylonia and Egypt to the mid twentieth century.

I am sure there are many others, but these, which include history and biography as well as scientific content, are good, readable overviews.

You were right to ask for a shield. I would do the same thing, and I'd be a little pissed that I had to ask.

However there's a big difference, in that the x-ray you got actually delivers a substantial amount of ionizing radiation-- up to one full percent of the average annual background dose. There is no evidence that even a lot of normal x-ray scans have any effect on health, but at least it's a physical possibility.

In contrast, the level of chemical hazard from nonstick cookware is a billionth or trillionth (or even smaller) than what's in the carpets we all grew up playing on, or the clothes we wear and furniture we sit on every day.

To use another analogy, worrying about nonstick cookware is like worrying about the ionizing radiation coming from a banana that's sitting uneaten across the room from you.

I agree about absestos, and I fee the same about lead as well. Those are nasty poisons that, contrary to popular lore, cannot be used and applied safely such that they won't eventually get loose and become a health hazard. I've been thinking about asbestos this week because I've been replacing ceiling light fixtures in my house, and it's impossible to do without causing the asbstos-filled popcorn texture to rain down like snow. It's fucking unbelievable what previous generations afflicted us with.

EDIT:

I feel compelled to repeat that common cooking fumes and smoke are known toxins and carcinogens. It makes no sense to be more concerned about tiny amounts of aerosolized PTFE than the far greater amounts of cooking smoke and fumes that will inevitably be emitted by your food at the same temperatures.
There is a training aspect to identifying color as well. People from cultures without the name for a color group have difficulty identifying a color as distinct without a name for such group.

Heck, even people from the same cultures will disagree on the classification of the same color experienced in the same situation. Remember the dress controversy a while back? People couldn't agree whether or not it was black & blue or white & gold.
Not picking on you, but...for how little sense this makes to me, it's practically an inside joke.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I remember reading a story about a woman who thought she had worsening allergies before getting a covid test, and then going to the hospital. With the way this spreads, if you have any breathing symptoms, it's worth getting a covid test, and then trying to start treatment if it comes back positive instead of just waiting for it to get worse.
I found my way to court feeds (namely Judge Middleton's[1]) during Covid. Incidentally i'm listening to Aug 19's proceedings now. Seeing these specific clips go viral feels like a microcosm of modern consumption habits.

There is so much to learn about the legal system and, more broadly, about the nature of people in trying circumstances watching court proceedings. The pureness of exchanges and the total lack of editorial bias is refreshing and too hard to find these days.

I have a theory that if more people watched court proceedings (daily misdemeanor, not just OJ/Floyd cutups), political opinions might shift toward humanizing both the accused and the victims.

There isn't. But if I owned any, I'd sure want to convince you that there was, and I feel like that will cloud any responses you get.
Definitely true. Also, investment in on-chip peripherals can lock companies into an architecture much longer than on higher-level platforms. We spent a lot of time debugging DMA, SPI, interrupt controllers, etc. on a micro platform and that work is not something we'd want to redo.

Basically, in embedded products you end up touching everything from the app, OS (if there is one), device drivers all the way down to the on-chip peripherals.
I feel like I can't possibly know what it actually is, simply because it can't be as dumb as I understand it. But then every time I try to learn more about, it feels even dumber and dumber.
Sources say that the "Windows Integration" for Teams is a separate app entirely written in either C++/XAML or C#/XAML, I don't recall which I read it was. It sounds like Microsoft's current solution to "Teams is bloated on Windows" is to give you a native half-capable Teams client in your Taskbar so that you can use Teams before you launch the real Teams client.
Is there a good blocking solution for Safari? From what I understand uBlock Origin cannot operate on Safari due to the way that it disallows some allows access to the underlying source of the webpage.

Also it seems like extensions on Safari require you to install them via the App Store which just seems so dumb and unintuitive compared to Chrome/Firefox.

If they fixed these two issues, I think Safari usage would be much greater. That browser is so incredibly fast and snappy especially on the new M1 macs but not having proper ad-blocking is a complete deal breaker.
It's kind of funny explaining it to people. There's so little substance that people who get it perfectly feel like they don't get it at all.

The kinds of people you can expect to see at this juncture:

- The emperor with no clothes

- The conmen who got away with it

- The lackeys who, out of fear or for favor, played along with the lie

- The peasants who laughed at the farce

- The kid who told the truth

- Folks who stayed home, went about their lives, and didn't actually miss anything
It's not hard to get a reasonable approximation of a slide rule working with a few pieces of material that can slide past each other, and a bit of iteration. When I was young, I thought it would be cool to build a really long, high precision slide rule out of metal, not so much any more. ;-)

Just starting with the fact that 2^10 is almost exactly 10^3 gets you started pretty quickly, You can mark out the powers of 2 spaced linearly, 1 to 1024, then divide by 3 to get a fairly good approximation of 10. You should be able to fairly quickly get marks for the rest of the numbers to 10.

Try it with a pencil, compass, and some pieces of paper... it's a fun exercise.
Usually? Nothing.

Occasionally, if it's a common piece of misinformation that's been widely-shared enough to justify manual intervention, a fact-check box may appear underneath. This happens to "facts" with a conservative political slant, as well as "facts" with a liberal political slant. If you run a page, your page can get "strikes" for this sort of thing that will cause you to down-rank in people's pages, but if anything, Facebook has been caught out for tipping towards the conservative side of that scale, suppressing that penalty on some popular conservative pages (https://www.engadget.com/facebook-overruled-fact-checkers-to...).

Rarely, you'll share "misinformation" that is also in violation of community standards (I'll leave that to the reader's imagination) and get a time-out proportional to how often that happens.

To understand Facebook's behavior, it's useful to remember that their goal is growth and retention. They want everybody using the service. I suspect, based on observation of their behavior, that they've discovered for themselves that without those measures, growth and retention are being harmed more than they'e harmed via time-outs and fact-checking (i.e. organized boycotts over Facebook being a place where falsehoods spread wildly, people encouraging their more vulnerable friends and relatives to stay off FB so the misinformation parade doesn't convince them to take horse-dewormer, etc.).

AWS Reporting AWS Internet Connectivity Issues in US-West-2

Yes. Although there will still be places that need work. The Detweiler fire burned across my place a few years ago. Mostly burned “cool” - ground fire not crown fire - so a lot of fuel got eliminated. Came back healthier. Still, it could use some work to create a defense line. There is a fire road through the property so it is possible to move equipment through there in case of a fire, so it is a defensible ridge. The neighboring canyon would be a death trap for a Cat crew if the fire jumped them.

> in that if someone has concerns about the future of children and humanity then it seems you think there must be something broken about that person.

People throughout history have had these thoughts. There is nothing wrong with having them. I personally think it becomes an issue when they negatively affect your life. It sounds like these thoughts/concerns have drastically shaped your life. They don't have to.

In addition, the majority of your statements come off as borderline /r/redpill. Something to be aware of. Again, nothing wrong with having these types of thoughts. If you find they are having a negative impact on your life, such as reduced romantic relationships, reduced involvement in society, abandoning the idea of having children (in which you are presumably interested), that's not healthy.

> The US government has proven itself inept at distributing gasoline, which it did in the 1970s

No, the US government didn’t distribute gasoline. Some state governments issued rationing regulations in one or both of the oil crises, and the US government imposed price regulations during part of the latter of the two crises.
Very accurate for a lot of companies like this lately. Consider it coined.
I’m baffled, myself. Everyone lives somewhere. I don’t see how knowing someone’s address creates a hazard from random people. If a lunatic wants to assault someone he can kick in a random door. In the case of someone, say, testifying against the mob or against a violent person who doesn’t already know where she lives, sure.

How are taxes calculated under this new law? I mean, if both bitcoin and US dollars are legal tender, then you should be able to choose which one you use to pay. But which one is used to calculate what you owe?
I agree. A lot of discussion and these philosophical quotes about living tend to want to inspire you to rebel against your nature. Think abstractly. Think rationally. Make the right decisions (for some value of "right").

But people aren't really wired like this. Maybe rebelling against your nature is the "right" choice, but maybe just living your life isn't so bad either. Take things personally. Don't take things personally. Be angry, be frustrated. Get depressed. Also, be happy sometimes.

You only have one life. The guy who never gets angry is going to the same place as the guy who fully feels those emotions. Maybe one will be less productive at a certain point in time than the other, but does it matter?

These cosmic balance scale games are at the end of the day silly and superfluous.

That instruction is standard procedure. Same for the cabin crew, they're instructed not to evacuate unless told to by the cockpit crew or unable to communicate with the cockpit after an incident.

The main reason is knowing which engine is on fire vs shutdown. So in almost all cases you want to captain to decide the moment of evacuation, not the cabin crew and certainly not a passenger.

Last 4000 years in which society?

Romans mostly didn't wear hats.

Jewish men have worn the kippah (small hat) essentially all the time for much of that period. Especially indoors, in a synagogue. It's a symbol of respect for God.

The "take the hat off indoors but always wear it outdoors" certainly hasn't been universal in western Europe for the last 4000 years.

Fuse/sshfs exists for OSX. Seems to work okay the little I played with it.
When we moved to a new hosting facility ~5 years ago, I went with just a single public IP as well. It's worked fairly smoothly. We use a loadbalancer to decide the real destination and forward the traffic on to the actual servers handling the requests. This has worked flawlessly and I'd definitely go that route again in the future.

I just bought some new underwear from Marks & Spencer in the UK which has their "Cool & Fresh" treatment. I haven't worn it yet but this thread is putting me off.

M&S publish a Manufacturing Restricted Substances List [1] for their suppliers, which seems to ban the use of all per- and poly-fluorinated chemicals in the manufacture of textiles for them.

Either I'm misunderstanding, or some of these underwear treatments don't involve PFAs. Who knows what they use instead?

Good move by Docker, financially speaking. They have little to lose.
Can confirm, have been seeing network latency issues in us-west-2 since 2:05EDT.
The reason this move isn't popular is because it seemed like local docker development (for any size corporation) was always going to be free. If I personally had known this was in the cards I would have invested (time, money and effort) into alternatives earlier on. Instead they killed all the competition and are now demanding money. So yeah, this is the first move by Docker that has made me kind of mad at the company.

How does this affect consultants that want to introduce docker to large corporations but small teams? A lot of scenarios become crappy now.
What you're describing is a failure of particular designers and developers to build an acceptable user experience. But that doesn't mean that good front-end designers and developers don't exist, or that good UI/UX doesn't exist outside of native browser controls.

I'm a front-end developer, and I currently work with one of the best UI designers in the industry (she's really, incredibly good). We consistently get very positive feedback on our work - currently rebuilding the front-end UI for a unicorn SaaS startup.

Good UI controls take a lot of work on small details even beyond the design mocks - event handling, styling, keyboard navigability, layout behavior, configurable options... but when it all comes together it feels great to use.
I know what timbre is, that's my point. The difference between a violin and a piano is not about frequency.
Great about Doom Emacs:
- has sensible VIM keybindings, no need to learn the Emacs ones
- has batteries included, no need to tweak the config more than "yes, I'd like to activate Magit"

It's shameful that this product was once free is now going to be charged, even if it's only for larger businesses.

I wonder how sustainable it is for docker to be like other open source entities and rely on consistent donations from major corporations to rely on income.

I also wonder if this will impede on docker adoption in the coming months. I guess time is the only one that can tell

The point isn't that telling someone else they're "not being reasonable" is a useful, or even productive tactic. The point is if someone else comes up to you, and (tactlessly) tells you that you're being unreasonable, that the smart move is to stop, take a step back, and fully consider their feedback, and not, as most people would do, immediately reject the advice. It would be entirely understandable, as a reflex involving hurt feelings, to disregard their feedback and blame it on some selfish petty motivations of that person. It might even be true. But if you don't want to surround yourself with yes men, take the time to strongly consider that you may actually be the unreasonable one in this circumstance.
I agree. My favorite hat is oilcloth, and it's as waterproof as any fancy modern gear.

You should have a written job description... review it very carefully, and make sure you're doing everything required.

Next, ask for feedback on the quality of your work. If everything is good, then ask if there are other task they would like you to handle.
The catch is that trying to tune a piano by ear gets really tricky since your ear wants to tune intervals to integer ratios of frequencies. It's really easy to tune a piano so that it sounds good in C and then the further away from that key you get, the worse the tuning gets. (I've encountered twentieth-century pipe organs that aren't equally tempered—I had been hired to play bass and guitar at a church once and things were fine rehearsing with the piano, but in the church, the guitar sounded horrid and I had to switch to playing bass for all the songs that were accompanied on organ.)
Full justify is a controversial practice, if not a controversial idea.
> No, the US government didn’t distribute gasoline.

What the DOE did was allocate a gas allotment to each gas station. Stations individually had to apply for gas allotments. If they ran out, too bad. If they had too much, they couldn't allocate it to another station.

The result was shortages and gluts. The DOE proved completely incapable of adjusting to constant shifts in demand. They'd allocate based on the previous year's pattern.
Honestly, I don't see a reason to keep Docker for Mac installed on my computer. I haven't run a container workload locally in I don't know how long and I haven't built a container locally in even longer. It's just taking up space on my laptop and bugging me to update what seems like constantly.

But it isn't. To make it a bit more specific:

Red vs Blue is ~700 nm vs ~475 nm (about because they are ranges rather than specific frequencies where most people who are not vision impaired will agree something is either red or blue).

Violin vs voice is more like 'triangular wave form with f, 2f, 3f, 4f, etc as the harmonics and voice would be 'mostly sinusoidal waveform with a bunch of vocal 'chords' acting as strings each of them with a sligthly different base pitch, with those same harmonics.

But if you were to compare for instance to a reed instrument the harmonics would look completely different.

Some singers by the way are capable of controlling their vocal chords in such a way that they can create rising and falling pitches at the same time.
