One of the interesting features of the AlphaSmart 3000 is the ability to connect to a fairly broad range of personal computers. This includes computers from the IBM AT onward, Macintosh Plus onward, and Apple IIgs. In other words, it supports the ADB, AT, PS/2, and USB interfaces.

On top of that, USB Mass Storage support was first built into Mac OS 9 and Windows 2000. The former was about 3 months prior to the AlphaSmart 3000 release and the latter was around the time of AlphaSmart 3000 release.

In other words, short of providing their own driver or software to transfer data, the only means transferring data was by pushing it through a keyboard interface. This may have been acceptable, but undesirable, for home users. Keep in mind, it would have traded ease of use for speed. It would have been less desirable in the education market since it would have meant managing additional software on classroom computers while being more difficult to use.

On top of that, there may have been technical reasons. It looks like it is using a PDIUSBD11D USB controller, connected to a DragonBall EZ microcontroller via an I2C bus. Perhaps someone with more knowledge in this domain can comment on that aspect.
The power electronics in an electric drive train also have transistors. That's where you can make real efficiency gains in an electric car. Not in some microcontrollers.

Why airline schemes for easing guilt over flying are dodgy
While I agree on not triggering a new build, I still question it:

- When buying second-hand, I still use a share of the car lifespan, and it is this lifespan that makes the value of building it in the first place.

- I buy it from a person or a system (a leasing company in my last car's case) that periodically orders new cars, so I participate in making their business model possible by providing an output.

- Not everyone can live of second hand stuff: since I brought my previous car to its death (near 300.000km), another one has to be created somewhere to allow my next buy.

- Up to what mileage and years is it wise to extend the life of an old car when new ones burn less per km?

- I also calculated my share of atmospheric CO2 for the life of my previous car (6 liters gasoil per 100km over 250.000+ km), and it is a already a disaster for a single car...

That made me consider an electric car (new since they are still very rare second-hand) but only Tesla matches my needs and Tesla does not match my financial reach. Indeed the others are either hybrid-jokes (with 50km full-electric when you have the wind in the back) or city-only electric cars (poor recharge network and only 200km range).

My current idea is to reduce kms by adopting more teleworking (thanks Covid to push my employer to consider it) and waiting for a better offer for electric cars (even new).

FWIW I recommend everyone to try the `stacking` layout instead of `tabbed`. It makes navigation much more intuitive if you're mainly using horizontal splits: Left/right to focus your split and up/down to select a window from that stack.

> Where is the mandate for spoon feeding consumers of information?

The mandate is born out of a culture that does not teach users how to consume information or to verify it, while making a ton of convincing-looking information readily available to them. If we all knew fact-checking and tracking primary sources, the world would be a better place. But these are skills that are not taught, and they should be.

It wasn't. Without "!" it isn't obvious that you cannot take a:

let a: Result<u8, u8> = /* whatever *;
let b = match a {
Ok(v) => Ok(foo(v)),
e => e,
};

and transform it into:

let a: Result<u8, u8> = /* whatever *;
let b = a.map(foo);

if "foo" is a macro. When you substitute "foo!" for all the "foo" above, it is obvious.

>By now, anyone who would agree to the label of "film fan" knows the legendary Phil Tippett. Perhaps the greatest visual effects artist of the last 50 years (if not ever), Tippett brought to life the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park and the creatures of Star Wars while also enriching many, many stellar visual feasts like RoboCop, Willow, and Starship Troopers.

As a European into classic and arthouse cinema, from the resume he rather sounds like someone we'd call a "film fan" would not know, if not actively avoid the movies he was involved.

Tiling window managers are great and they are the biggest overall UX difference I miss when using macOS and Windows vs Linux.

I've tried many things for both macOS and Windows to get that "i3wm feel" but nothing quite scratches the itch. macOS can get close but sadly requires disabling security features in macOS for deep integration and that is something I don't care to entertain personally. So I make do with macOS's Spaces and Magnet (a nice third party application for hotkey window 'snapping', there are good free/oss alternatives also such as Spectacle).

Windows 11 is getting some more powerful snapping options plus Microsoft's Fancy Zones PowerToy is quite nice although a far cry from i3 or similar.

When on a laptop a twm is freakin' awesome* as dealing with overlapping windows is such a pain in the ass on a 13-15" screen. Is a little sad when I see people fiddling about to get two or three windows resized using a trackpad.

Hopefully with the enhancements in Windows 11 we will see more progress towards automatic window layout and management . While unlikely it would be nice if Apple take note for Microsoft's changes also.

*pun intended ;)
Nice catch. The article was republished. Here's an archive from 2019 of the original 2017 version:

>A single correct dose is a myth. The author even sort of notes that with the differences between teenagers, 25 year olds and the elderly.

The author spends several paragraphs citing studies, different cases and populations, and says explicitly why they concluded to the specific mg dose:

"Based on a bunch of studies that either favor the lower dose or show no difference between doses, plus clear evidence that 0.3 mg produces an effect closest to natural melatonin spikes in healthy people, plus UpToDate usually having the best recommendations, I’m in favor of the 0.3 mg number. I think you could make an argument for anything up to 1 mg. Anything beyond that and you’re definitely too high."

WhatsApp is. Everyone in my country uses it. Not even a judge can get away with blocking WhatsApp as punishment for encrypting messages because the consequences are too great.
you probably ignore the amount of raw materials needed to produce your iPhone (not what actually ends up in the product itself).
No, that's not an argument. The only argument is that you can keep growing by not selling anything material at all, like insurances, but with finite, actually soon degrowing population, how would you even think of doing it?

It's not universally prescription-only in Europe. (E.g. here in Germany it is if packaged as medicine, but lower doses are available as non-medical products)

EDIT: looked it up, the latter category is also authorized through EU regulations, so likely EU-wide unless individual countries have specifically decided to ban them (which I think they still can in this case)

Podman has built in support for K8s' Pod definitions. I've never used it so not sure how good (or bad) it is, but it is possible.

It is also able to generate pod definitions from created containers, as well as generate systemd units that you can then enable allowing systemd to manage your pods/containers.
I'll be honest and admit that in taking a second look I noticed that they totally admit to this being a republished article from earlier: "[...] BBC Future has brought you in-depth and rigorous stories to help you navigate the current pandemic, but we know that’s not all you want to read. So now we’re dedicating a series to help you escape. We’ll be revisiting our most popular features from the last three years in our Lockdown Longreads.[...]"

As a front end developer with nearly 20 years of experience I can objectively call bullshit.

The problem is Invented Here syndrome and coddling. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invented_here

The reason this exists is due to a lack of leadership in the front end space. More specifically, a need to hire untrained entry level developers and deliberately not train them whether due to insecurity elsewhere and a complete inability to write documentation.

I've heard that the methane/oxygen (methalox?) used in Starship engines can be made carbon-neutral by concentrating the fuel from the atmosphere... And that the same process can be done on Mars too to refuel the rockets. Hopefully that's workable.

They’re VMs. It’s based on the Hypervisor.framework, so it’s actually faster than I thought, but it’s VMs.
Do these proxies encrypt the traffic? Since they would handle authentication, I am guessing encryption is used. We may be getting into semantics, but at that point, is there much of a difference between a proxy and a VPN?

I had the impression that in a zero trust environment all apps are required to be hardened to the point that they are deemed safe to be exposed to the publc internet.
Concur. My sleep issues are not severe enough to risk the "do nothing" next day. Only on exceptional bad trends do I use melatonin now. but I may try some of the variants in this.
Nit: I wouldn't say "originating". That's where this specific exploit is coming from "most recently". But it would seem to not be script kiddies and they're listing like 8 countries. I would assume the bad actors could be anywhere, proxying traffic through any number of other places.
First of all, you are absolutely right. Using your brain for actual work and not futzing around with configuration is always a great choice.

But honestly, the amount of mental energy the author seems to put into this is way beyond anything I would consider needed to use a tiling window manager. Just the base configuration with an application launcher installed is pretty much enough for most people.

And I have never in my whole live visualized the tree in my head. For me at least i3 is a simple and performance conscious way to use my small/old laptop screen, easily switch between the 10 virtual desktops and either use a stack or a side-by-side view. Sometimes I build a very, very simple tree if I use a ton of terminals at once.

I feel like these kind of 'I installed a new kind of desktop environment'-blog posts are just desperate for any kind of content that exceeds 'I installed it and fiddled around in the configuration file to adjust it to my keyboard and then it worked well enough. Over the next couple of weeks I kept adjusting small things to better fit my workflow. After a while I got used to the shortcuts. Oh, and I changed the background.'
I want to automate the writing of genre novels. Think Louis L'Amour westerns or Barbara Cartland romance novels. It's a massive and truly daunting piece of work, and it might not even be possible, but I have some ideas about how I would go about it.

And by novels I mean a "shitty first draft," not a publishable work.

I've made a start on it, but I get side tracked by having to make money.

Small businesses have notoriously high rates of failure, restaurants seem like a huge risk with pretty modest possible reward. My guess is you'd be more likely to get rich being a pro athlete than as a restaurant owner.

Yet they get treated like evil "fat cats" by a certain section of the intelligentsia. Many of whom simultaneously believe global mega corporations who profit from wars and dictatorships, avoid paying taxes, bust unions, use slave labor, and buy politicians and influence elections are noble justice warriors. It's really strange.
Your reply reads like a 'complete agreement' rather than a disagreement - as at that point in time you suggest, the chain ... will no longer be in its current form.

Atlassian produce some of the worst tech on the planet. Trying to administer this crap is horrible.

EVs tend to be efficient at high power. They can be 94-98 percent efficient at 100kW but normal driving is something like 4kW at 45mph.

If you reduce loads by 40 to 50 watts, you can gain a mile of range. With inverter losses in the 1-2 kilowatt range at high power there is room for improvement.
That is some next-level stuff.

sorry I've mixed the comments, that answer was about my views.
I'm supporting the lockdown, because it's the best substitute we currently have for widespread vaccination , which is in a diabolical state because the federal government isn't even really trying. Choosing lockdown over a huge death toll is not in anyway about supporting the federal government, who have generally been opposed to lockdowns. I do think rapid saliva tests would do a lot of good, I know some don't trust decentralising the control of testing, but I think it would allow us to ease the current restrictions with some degree of safety.

Agreed. For at least some people, there is something deeply, deeply wicked about acid. I can't put my finger exactly on it but I always felt that it changed your perceptions in such a way that made you feel like you were being enlightened and embracing universal love while at the same time making you capable of justifying enormous evil.

Its like it makes you actually feel nihilist rather than just think nihilistic. Or something like that.

Sorry I should have clarified. I meant the company he couldn't talk about.
For general readers: Its pretty safe when done via a browser plugin to a website because the plugin both verifies the website (anti-phishing) and uses auto-fill rather than type (it directly injects into the target field rather than typing, so clickjacking isn't a risk).

Its rare that I use passwords outside of the browser now, but windows and mac allow system credentials to mitigate the same risks for desktop apps (the app must support it).

You're defending the notion that journals should be able to continue their rent seeking. Did I misunderstand?
The universe is finite, it's very big but finite. All growth eventually hits limits. Exponential growth hits the limits in logarithmic time. The question is just whether this brings the time scale to time scales that humans can and should care about.

It's also a straw-man to imply that degrowth advocates want to eliminate all development. Nobody I know (but I am not that well read in the field, maybe it's just my pocket) is talking about stopping technological research, or science, or cultural growth. It's about the subset of human activities that are today labelled as economic.
It says trade adjusted, but this seems only to include the production.
"To calculate consumption-based emissions we need to track which goods are traded across the world, and whenever a good was imported we need to include all CO2 emissions that were emitted in the production of that good, and vice versa to subtract all CO2 emissions that were emitted in the production of goods that were exported."

What about shipping? And the production of the shipping vessels? Waste disposal?

It's a growing trend but unlike others (which are often down to regional differences), I can't figure out why people do this.
