Hey, I feel you and that's a killer response that makes sense to me. The $400 car I mentioned was similar, though no kid. Was hoping for a more extensive less-local trip, but had to make the best of it and were surprised with prices having not heard about the shortage. Congrats on being able to get out for a bit my friend.
The moon is also fun to photograph. The lockscreen of my phone is a photo of the moon I took with an entry level DSLR and 250mm lens. It’s reasonably sharp and detailed.

I didn’t realize before that just how quick the damn thing is.
Relatively is the keyword here.

The Fitbod app is good for getting some exercise based on muscle groups: you put in the equipment you have (e.g. bench + resistance bands) and then it suggests exercise programmes for you based on this equipment and your availability (e.g. 30 mins or 45 mins).

For food I have had some good experience with InstantPot: very little effort to prepare most recipes (chop something and put in pot; wait 20 mins; eat for two days).
Also, try to avoid bread or at least cheap supermarket bread. You can buy a small loaf from an artisanal bakery since they will probably have better ingredients. Hint: if after two weeks your bread is not getting moldy, you need to go more artisanal ;)
I think it's a case where systems diversity can be an advantage. Much like how most malware was historically written for Windows and could be avoided by using Linux, the low-quality search engine bait is created for Google and can be avoided by using a different style of search engine.
Si vis pacem, para bellum

Military budgets are peace spending. Wars begin when politicians think they can achieve goals easily using arms - see Germany's plans in the World Wars, Saddam's invasion of Iran, Russia's invasion of Ukraine after the 2013 revolution or most wars really.

Having strong armed forces and military alliances are an insurance policy against being invaded.
You are surely aware that there were FAR more wars before this. War was basically just a fact of life for most people in most of our settled past.
Holy crap. Is this because the steel expanded an infinitesimal but somehow still measurable amount?

> Complete with the most thinly veiled threat possible: That "refusal would make it difficult to renew your contract".

It wasn't even a thinly veiled threat. A direct translation would be "Otherwise, we would like to inform you that there is no possibility of renewing your current contract".

Yeah, "in no way threatening or meant to create an atmoshpere".
I see what you mean. I am more focused on personal perspective (all languages suck). It's good to be more aware about the perspective. I'll also try to look from the suggested perspective too. Thanks!
It'd be nice if OP used the keyword then instead of needing child commentators with clairvoyance to explain then.
They probably didn't read the news that Uber in the Netherlands just lost there case. Gig economy in the Netherlands isn't allowed. We currently have issues with employees being forced to become entrepreneurs in all kinds of sectors. Most people just agree but don't really understand what is involved.
I think this will also play out in other countries in the EU until it will become an EU issue.

> The fact that it's an audio subsystem is more descriptive than the fact that it's a windows subsystem, so it sounds strange to group it the other way.

We say that English is "right-headed" for this reason - an audio subsystem is a kind of subsystem, not a kind of audio.

Interestingly, there are a few established words, derived from verbs, like kiss-ass or pickpocket which have things the wrong way around; the prediction from right-headedness would be pocket-picker.
> You can't use a standard OS for that kind of scenario either, Linux has far bigger jitter than that.

This is 100% false. It's easy to configure Linux itself to only occupy 1 or 2 cores (one real + the hyper-thread for that real core), and then pin your own application threads to the other cores where no other code will run. This setup has identical application performance (other than not having those two Linux cores) to having no OS at all. 100% predictable, ZERO jitter application code (including user-space networking).

Except…you can still SSH in to your "no OS" Linux box, you have a file system, can run cron jobs, git, gdb, WireGuard, etc. So it's much, much better in practice and what actual high-performance network developers actually do.

Essentially no one has run a literal "no OS" box for at least a decade; everyone who is running on normal hardware does what I just described with Linux because the cost is dirt cheap and it's way too convenient.
Telegram Removes Navalny's Smart Voting from Messaging Service
That’s a very reductionist argument. Most of the good newsletters that I read are using MC, and one of the big reasons is that they’re always opt-in and one click unsubscribe.

There have been other periods of global peace caused by domination of a single power, no one else argues that it was a good thing for everyone else involved.

I could try and argue India is now a better place because the period know as Pax Britannica almost gave them the toilet but you'd rightly consider me a mad man.

Do you think any of the places listed above were improved by being turned in to weapon testing ranges?
Migadu http://migadu.com/

Super nice people, when you email them for support they're fast and thorough. Their founders are/have been active on here, and they're currently investing in foss projects by hiring sourcehut.org (Simon Ser and Drew DeVault) to build a new web mail built on modern Go libraries https://git.sr.ht/~migadu/alps.

They've got a list of pros/cons here https://www.migadu.com/procon/

I'll shill them any day because I appreciate their simple goal of creating a good email service with no extra unicord dust, marketing, etc on top, plus their willingness to work on open technologies.

They've got what you'd expect for the price, unlimited domains, great admin dashboard, etc etc. CalDAV and CardDAV come out of beta very soon (end of September iirc).
I hate how "entrepreneurs" in the US find new loopholes and make seemingly huge businesses out of it. Then my local sociopaths and greedy investors want to copy this. If the business didn't get so big in the US there would be a very large pushback if anyone tried such abusive practices here.

Just look at what DPD is doing in Switzerland, it is discusting and basically slavery. Abusing contract work to the max.
My first computer was a Sinclair clone hooked up to the only TV we had at home. So was the case for so many people in my country in the 80s who couldn't afford the disproportionately more expensive machines. Kudos to this genius for bringing inexpensive computer access to the layman. He could have patented the shit out of his company's systems, charge whatever he wanted for them, and spend a ton of money on an army of lawyers defending his patents and making him a shit ton more. Instead he gave so many of us early access to the tools we would use to make our living, so we weren't in a huge disadvantage any more. I couldn't be more grateful.

That's a bit of an exaggeration for sure. But dust can be an issue in connectors, making the connection not as stable as expected or even break the connection on a pin if there is enough.

There is also the risk of short circuit on non-coated PCB, increased ESD risk. And beyond PCB, there are a lot of other risks mitigated by clean room environments: dust on sensors, dust on bearings or gears, dust on optical cameras... And any deposit of dust will float around everywhere once in orbit, especially after being shaken and vented during launch.

Could you make a satellite in your garage without a clean room environment? Yes sure, and you would even have a decent chance to have a working satellite once in orbit if you know what you are doing. Would you accept a 50% failure rate if you are flying a payload worth a few millions and need to spend a similar amount on launch cost? Probably not.
You are surely aware that France and the UK have nukes. That seems like a pretty strong deterrent.

Really like it, and love that you've done this yourself.

I'd prefer if it does just one thing and does that really well. Don't waste your time on calculator and conversion functions, or pseudo-natural language queries. There are plenty of good calculator & converter tools and websites, but we all need a really good search engine. I think you'd be better looking at handling synonyms and plurals.

Thanks.

Interesting - it makes me wonder if those words have origins in other languages or something.
"Why would you say they are stretching the limits of the law? My understanding is that they had no obligation to renew those 3-month contracts."

Because these 3-month contracts were renewed for years, and in fact, there are many employees who were employed for over 3 years, continuously, by the company. That makes the non-renewal -> layoff.

"Even if that's the case (highly probable), it would still be a huge improvement compared to the pre-efood era when lots of delivery riders would not be paid on time, work (illegally) with no insurance/pension, sometimes even get humiliated by terrible bosses."

Food delivery platforms are not in the business of providing cash and benefits to drivers. They are in the business of making money. But apparently, they cannot do either.
>“We call for the immediate closure of ICDC and reparations for all the survivors of ICDC and defunding of ICE,” says Bhatt. “We also demand that all the women involved in the investigation into medical abuses at ICDC be offered assistance to allow them to pursue immigration relief in the U.S. and address the damage caused by the human rights abuses they suffered”

Sounds a lot like the issue with schools and police departments where no one ever wants to raise taxes to better fund them to improve the quality of their services but come election time, the yammering never stops about how low the quality of schools has become.

They don’t want to close ICE. They want to drastically increase funding to it or a replacement to stop these kinds of malpractices, they just don’t know it yet.

Would you mind sharing a ELI5 of how you go about reading these?
I really would like to hear perspectives of old people like your self about various recent trends and how they are a repetition of old innovations. For example example about containers (or vms?) as meta processes and kubernetes as some type of meta-os. Or computer languages which are just interfaces to the same base algorithms. Or anything really. I also have the vague feeling that there are repeating patters, but I don’t have a deep historical perspective to make this feeling more concrete. Does anyone have a blog or something?

No, Google has few regiments worth of antifraud/antibot specialists, and they are all being consistently defeated.

It's just like drug running is never going to be defeated if demand is worth it, and somebody from a poor country can make a few dollars per hour running a bot farm.

In reality though, I heard that top tier ad fraud consistently makes a few dozen new USD millionaires a year just in that part of IT crowd in Russia which deals in the greyzone in between black, and white hat activity.
I have no ambitious social circle. Part of that is because I am not ambitious and so I have scared away any ambitious driven person that has ever come into my life. Its a self defeating prophecy. This cycle must be broken alone without a mentor in order to get said mentor.

On a somewhat related note, I recently got onto a binge reading about Polynesian people and culture.

The story of Polynesian colonization of New Zealand is captivating. It starts with the colonization of a new land with abundant resources. It seems that for the first few centuries the Māori ancestors lived in a relative utopia [3]. Then, as climate changed, population increased, and some resources got depleted competition increased. This is when their culture turned into the genocidal [1] [2] warrior culture that Europeans encountered a few centuries later.

Interestingly, around the time of the culture shift part of the population split off for some reason and formed a non-violent pacifist community that later got annihilated [1].

Same as "PHP for Windows", it's not a problem if the trademark owner agrees. And they typically would if the thing is the actual Rust / PHP running on Windows.

The problem with "Linux subsystem for Windows" is that the Linux people were not involved and the thing isn't a normal Linux. So there is much more risk of a trademark dispute in that case.
No, a very large swath of critics of ICE, myself included, want it straight up abolished. The US did just fine for most of its life without ICE and with quite lax border enforcement.

ICE's budget is not the issue. Give them more money and you'll just get even more of the same.

The root problem here is not enough voters care about what's happening because of who it's happening too, and sadly a non trivial minority of voters are enthusiastic supporters of abuse in this context.
We’re the baddies.
I mean, when you put it like that, a light switch doesn't "think" its job is to turn lights on and off either.

That doesn't stop it from explicitly having the specific design that fulfils that function though.

The case for J&J is very simple, it only requires one dose, you'll probably get a fever if you catch covid, but the chances of needing hospitalisation are brutally low and the chances of dying are even lower.

So yeah, it has a pretty bad efficacy in preventing minor symptoms, but a pretty good efficacy preventing hospitalisation and death.

I wish I had sources for all this, but it's just stuff that I've read around the Web when I toke my shot, so take it with a grain of salt.
New open source theme for Hugo
This is one advantage of the world switching to webapps over desktop apps. It’s trivial for me to create a chrome extension that enriches or modifies the UI of a bought product.

Read the report and the article. Here’s a summary for anybody jumping to comments:

Title matches the report. The report details a number of cases of women being treated by a specific doc who rushes treatment, fails to communicate, examines them roughly, and often concludes that ovarian cysts and/or cancer are the cause. He often prescribes birth control or a hysterectomy as treatment. Some of the cases include second opinions which conflict entirely with his diagnosis. Many of the cases include retaliation from guards for questioning the treatment.
Why Do Developers Use Trivial Packages?
I wish the paper included more details on what sort of connectors they use to connect the tubes carrying fluids to the microfluidics chips. Fig.6A shows 9 abstract-looking cylinders, but it's not really clear what's going on there or how it works out. Perhaps the connectors themselves were printed, lending themselves to be easily connected with elastic-tubes -- but you'd have to be super careful when handling those.

Anyway, I do wonder about the feasibility of microfluidics in general. It's become quite popular in recent years (hey, Theranos' whole thing was actually microfluidics!!), but I find lack of blowout successes riding on microfluidics to be something of a concern. I don't know if whether that's because actually delivering with a microfluidics chip takes so much resources that any lab taking on a microfluidics project will then be robbed of resources to work on anything else, or if because orchestrating a dance of small quantities of fluids traversing elaborate pathways here and there at controlled rates, measuring quantities and setting up open feedback loop systems and setting up logic systems is just so hard and that's why I don't hear about happy reportings.

This was in response to your prev post.

I'm glad you answered the question directly with your own opinion. (I don't know why people don't do that more often). I think that is a wise and well thought out piece of advice that should be expanded upon. I did want to get past the layers of what you were assuming this person had experienced or what you assumed naive readers would do if they copied it. One thing I've learned - a reason I used to be a bad writer, and a reason why social media doesn't work well - is that I tend to gloss over four or five assumptions about what the reader understands or knows, and jump straight to a conclusion that can come off as weird or out of step. It does help to pry open the thought process that led to a warning or a sweeping statement... often, the thought process is what people are most interested in.

On this issue, I've never worked anywhere I didn't either start with or quickly open a direct line to speak with the owner of a company. I consider it their right to know what's going on - and I never sought advancement or raises, and more often quit, but I do think there's something to be said for sticking your head up and taking the risk of having it cut off, to prove you're right about something. That derives from a different impulse than the need for popular acclaim, and it's usually dangerous.
That is true, and there are great documentaries about how the US messed that up so badly.

There was similar lack of faith in the British tigerfish in the 80s.

But generally modern torpedos are expected to work effectively and are tested.

Yeah, that's a large part of what I'm trying to accomplish. Great to see others understand as well.
It's mostly correct in my experience, but maybe it's because I've learned what it can/can't do. And when it does what it is supposed to do, it can be very useful.
