> The Kobo is an excellent reading device, but it is a very poor internet browsing device.

Sounds like a feature to me - perfect!
The middle third, since by the time I reached that point I was exhausted and ready to find out how it all ended.

Most comments I’ve read here indicate the last part of the book is the most unpopular, so perhaps I should go back someday and read the middle.
That’s really nice of him to put together such a concise, well-described list of issues for them. Hopefully someone sees this and adds it to their issue tracker. It’s very rare to see anyone internal grab something from outside like that though.
I hate and respect you at the same time.
Kobo is quite friendly with 3rd party software. Both Plato (in rust) and KO-Reader (in c/lua) are excellent alternative to builtin reader app, the only drawback is they can't open DRM-protected books.

...and what actual effect any of those actions has! That's the part that's mysterious to me and would be particularly interesting to learn.

And more to the point, what can or should I do on an individual level?

The OP was about home price to income ratio, and just like in one of the threads, I basically shopped based on monthly payment, not total price. I don't have any anchoring on the value of a particular structure or lot. Should I have made different choices?
I just found out the hard way that this feature is only supported on iPhone XS and later (seemingly any device with at least an A12 chip): https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212630
You need lots of gunpowder inside the city in case you are attacked, so you need an armory inside the city.

Adding a factory doesn’t seem to add that much risk to me. It can be cordoned of in a building with strong walls and light-weight ceilings. That directs any force of an accidental explosion upwards.

The armory, on the other hand, needs protection against incoming projectiles. That calls for strong ceilings.
I may feel about this differently in the future, but right now I prefer to rent access to entertainment media (books, movies, etc) rather than try to maintain ownership. I find it difficult to even maintain digital resources, but physical media is especially challenging.

Most books I read just once, so being able to check an e-book out of the library is perfect for me. Even if I bought a book on the Kindle and Amazon ripped it away 5 years from now, that would suck but it would probably not make too big a difference.

I appreciate the argument about ownership vs DRM, but at this point in my life I would rather just have less stuff to worry about!
GMP doesn't do well in prime fields with a small, fixed number of limbs. Poly1305 and elliptic curves are both good examples. Its general routines aren't as fast as custom routines, and it doesn't execute in constant time.

MPFQ exists for short finite field work, but it hasn't achieved the popularity of GNU MP.

This statement is equivalent to saying that everyone is perfectly rational though, which we know is not true. Sometimes people are different because they are different, not because we are all one identical mind cloned and put in different bodies and circumstances.
> they feel like walled gardens of arbitrary knowledge that only applies to their ecosystem rather than to some fundamental learning about software.

This is sort of an expected side effect of recreating nearly-identical JS frameworks every couple months, no?
Perhaps it's the ones that progress in that environment that have the problems. It would be interesting to look at rates of alcoholism, drug abuse, divorce and violence amongst this group.

It sounds crazy but I actually see this inconvenience as something of a plus. Getting out my kobo means that I will commit to reading for a while, similar to when I pick up a physical book. The fact that all other functions (like Web browsing) are so inconvenient help reduce the distractions for me.
A long time ago, I used a service where you subscribed to any number of blogs via their RSS feeds and the service created a daily or weekly e-book for you with all of the new posts, complete with a table of contents. If you had a Kindle, you could have it automatically sent to your device via the device's email address. It was wonderful, but eventually shut down - probably due to fewer and fewer blogs offering RSS feeds.
What are your issues with Google Docs search? Just curious as I'm building a product to generate a better wiki out of Docs/Drive.
>And the product in the article is insane in a bike lane. I think it really highlights my point about the size of lanes. They need to be bigger if bikes are going to become a more viable form of commuting for everyone.

I don't think so, they mention that it's only 1m wide, which is 25cm wider than the average bike.

Here in NL, for example, it would fit pretty much perfectly in the existing bicycle infrastructure. (barring the occasional small bridge with poles/gates at the end to slow cyclists down)
Indeed! I have had a very similar experience when I learnt Logo in 1992. I was nine years old then. I loved how we could just start the computer, insert a floppy disk, and start programming it immediately without jumping through too many hoops. It was simple, distraction-free, and fun!

I have written about my experience learning Logo and the impact it has had on me here: https://susam.in/blog/fd-100.html . Logo introduced me to the joy of programming!
LOGO! How nice was the for loop!
Great game, though the word "epolevne" did bother me until I realized it's "envelope" backwards.
Yeah, personally I find e-readers significantly more useful than physical books for casual reading anyway. I might prefer a physical book for reference work but otherwise I find using an e-reader much easier overall. Calibre is great, I would second your recommendation.
I really doubt they are maintaining a PPC fork. It's not a trivial effort and it would be hard to justify the investment and even harder to motivate the talent needed.

ISA specific code is restricted to kernel and drivers. What's left of Carbon has been through 3 transitions (PPC to x86, x86 to x64 only, x64 to ARM). It's ISA clean all right.
For some reason a lot of the comments here are negative and people are suddenly all about extreme screen aversion, but I think the app is great. Kind of like a more engaging private whatsapp group, which most of us have anyway in one way or antoher. Kudos to the team on the launch!

Thanks for the explanation. Further feedback though, I've never heard this term before, and I consider myself to have a relatively good vocabulary. Here in the UK, "skillet" isn't the most common word either (it's not uncommon, some people do use it, especially referring to cast-iron skillets specifically, but less common than in the US).

At the very least you've got to add the name of the company to the website so that people know it's not just some random letters.

Honestly though, I'd feel silly having to explain this name to anyone so probably just won't.
I’ve tried to read tech books on kindle, but 6 inches is too small. I’ve had better luck reading them on an ipad. The screen is just big enough, but navigating between the book and my notes proved cumbersome. Mostly I read tech books on my laptop and desktop because it’s easy to flip between book and notes. In the grand scheme of things it is the best trade-off for me.

My problem with e-readers is that they don't look that good when most of your reading is scanned books, e.g. from archive.org
But if one only reads common e-books, they seem way better than a tablet.
But people keep saying they want to go out with a bang.
Even if the e-reader supports pdf, I think it's a much worse experince than even reading on a big computer screen(which doesn't work for me either). Physical copy of techincal books are way superior than e-book version. It's way easier to study in a physical book from my personal experience.
> interesting aspect here is that otherwise honest people at some point of unjust pressure put on them start to allow themselves to cross into that gray zone, and without feeling shame it leads to that being done in the open inside those specific social groups affected and thus becomes the acceptable social norm there.

The thing to consider is that no actions are taking place in a vaccuum. The drivers gaming the system is not an isolated input that is occurring. Instead, there are a number of different inputs that are putting downwards pressure on the rates a driver gets to charge / how much money the driver actually takes home after costs, taxes, etc.

While it's not incorrect (or even unjust) to describe the behaviour as being potentially 'gray' (although the use of colour is a different matter, I understand the sentiment being expressed), by only highlighting and focusing on the least powerful members in the system, it unconsciously paints a picture that draws focus away from the other inputs into the system that have resulted in this situation occurring in the first place.
No thanks indeed, but I completely agree with this sentiment from the article:

I recently bought a Kinesis Advantage 2. Could you be more specific about how you've mapped Ctl and Option? I mapped Delete and End in the left thumb cluster to Ctl and Option resp. What did you do?
I dunno... when you have the developer of Joda-Time, the lead developer of PostgreSQL, and a big name from PHP all talking how a fork is required and how all of these attempts to play whack-a-mole on issues--what I guess you are calling "building consensus"?--are just making the matter worse, it seems difficult to claim that no one understands the burden of maintaining a fork... certainly, to pull one person in particular here that I highly respect: I would personally put a lot of trust into Tom Lane to be making a very well informed (and reasonable) decision here.
I think I’d like it able to be used as a single- or two-seater in some way or other, so you can get single-instrument duets—not quite the same, but something. Possibly some kind of modular seat/drivetrain linkage so that you can have zero, one or two. I haven’t planned this, it was just a stray thought yesterday that caught my sense of humour so that I’ve been dwelling on it further.
If you are looking at the big names (Kindle, Kobo, Nook), I doubt it. The devices become far more open elsewhere. I have a Boyue Likebook eReader which has unfettered access to the internet via built in web browser and Chrome.
Ebooks are so cheap these days, that it's a shame to pirate them.
Interesting! How do you know that this was a meteorite and not another thing that went wrong at Dugway?
> For the vast majority of people that’s just wrong.

>That can be dangerous underwater as it becomes easier to go hypoxic before the urge to breathe gets overwhelming.

Again true on both counts but irrelevant, there is no reason to suppose people in 800BC where average divers. Pearl diving goes back to ~2000BC so demonstrating a very long tradition of people pushing these limits and it’s exactly the people pushing such limits that might try bringing an air supply underwater.

Sure this depiction is almost guaranteed to be a floatation device, but you build something like that and spend your life around water and people are going to try stuff.

We also had logo classes in school around the same time (I think it was 4th grade but may have been 3rd) in Israel.

However the teacher barely knew more programming than the kids and I didn’t realize Logo was more than a really weird drawing program until years later.
I think e-readers are awesome for linear, text-based material. I don't think they're great for reference or things that need specific formatting or have a lot of visual data; like textbooks, something with code snippets, cookbooks, or newspapers. But tablets or desktop computers work fairly well. Since those aren't single-use machines and don't have great vertical integration they can be cumbersome (and a bit of an eye strain for long sessions).

The smallish size and slow screen loading make it really hard to skim (and requires decent search and UX). Because of the small screen info can get reflowed, making code snippets or charts very awkward--if it even renders.

Basically, I'm just reiterating what you're saying. I haven't found a solution to what you're describing. In an effort to minimize physical books, I try to utilize the library as much as possible and buy digital versions to reference on the computer months or years later. I've seen solutions like putting pdfs into Dropbox. Sadly, a lot of the reading software that allows highlighting or writing in margins don't sync between a tablet and desktop (at least last time I investigated). Academics seem to have the most motivation for finding a solution to something like this, but that may be tailored to their own needs.
That was probably true back then. My understanding is that Unix wasn't ready for commercial production work until the late 80s at least.
Got a big chuckle out of them describing server-side rendering as this new-fangled unproven technical risk of a technology :) I get the context, but it was still funny. Ah, back to editing index.php I guess.

Monster? It's very straightforward, functional and easy to follow. You could easily refactor that and break it up without fuss. Not sure what the big deal is here. The fact that it operates on a state machine makes it even easier. You can see all the different ways the UI will render by stubbing the state value.

Of course it's elasticsearch. Elastic did irreparable damage by paywalling authentication and TLS on a supposedly open source project. If you make security optional, you've created an insecure and unsafe product.

I'm wondering if this isn't solving a problem only with a local optimum. How much better would be to have a standard way (i.e, not device-specific) to memzero (or memset) directly into the DRAM chips ? Or to use DMA for memcpy, while the CPU does other things ? Now of course, this could be a nightmare for cache coherency, but I've seen worse things done for performance.
Impressive how many `vendors` were out there, far more diverse than today.
The reference to the experiment involving an ant colony established by humans on a small Finnish island surviving thanks to a single tree reminded me of another fantastic insect survival story from the Pacific. Via the NPR account of the 2001 discovery:

What's more, for years this place had a secret. At 225 feet above sea level, hanging on the rock surface, there is a small, spindly little bush, and under that bush, a few years ago, two climbers, working in the dark, found something totally improbable hiding in the soil below. How it got there, we still don't know.

Read the story and check out the pictures of the island. It's amazing.

And the article is wrong, plain and simple. Written by someone who is apparently not lazy and can’t comprehend the idea. Just because you can’t fathom something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, that’s a logical fallacy.

Being lazy is absolutely a thing, and just a person unreasonably weighting the value of the now over the later. I weighted the value of being in bed right now higher than the value of not moving brush in 90°F weather later, which I then even later regretted. And I will do it again. Why? My value weighting function in my brain is flawed; that’s what it means to be lazy. There is no deeper reason.
It might be a way to alleviate some regret after the fact, but that type of thinking seems like a great way to induce paralysis.
I'm not sure how many authors are aware when writing books, but it changes how you read it. With physical books I often peek a few pages ahead to the end of the chapter or just by the weight of the book know when I'm near the end. Sure, there are progress bars, but they're way more subtle. Knowing when something will wrap up I tend to have an expectation of what might happen. Without those cues I have a different experience.

Similarly, my wife can burn through thick books without realizing it for the same reason. Previously, you may even be intimidated by how much is left, but now it's one screen at a time.
Come on. You don't have to strawman such a simple argument. Yeltsin had parts of the KGB against him and parts of the KGB that followed him. Your argument is orthogonal to that.

You know just as well as me that if the KGB was united and wanted him down and if the military did too he would have been imprisoned immediately.

It's also very clear to anyone that Yeltsin illegally took control of the Soviet military and was massively corrupt, just like anyone else. Your borderline heroic description of him is ahistorical, in reality he was just as much of a corrupt opportunist hungry for power and scheming as anyone else.

Once I bought a used copy of a 1200+ page book and took the binding off so I could carry a couple of chapters at a time back and forth to work to read on breaks. Luckily it was a 10+ year old history book that was available shipped for under $10. But I can't really do that for a library book, so I agree ebooks are the way to go.
$200k is not "crazy high" - it's higher than a lot, for sure, but if you're in a HCOL area and work for a big company (not even FAANG-level) you can make that much within a few years at most. FAANG is even higher - median new grad total comp at Google is about $190k. Senior is almost twice that.

I have a dual-stack home network.

I care about 1 IPv6 address, my web server.
My local network has IPv6 connectivity, but the address space is private. All of the fixed addresses I worry about are IPv4.

I don't see a need for IPv6 for a home network (from a address management standpoint), but I do think an external IPv6 address is important. My concern with IPv4 is increasingly restrictive carrier-grade NAT to stretch addresses further.
