Truth Social broke software rules, says copyleft group
> Linux still is not able to adequately run the majority of desktop software for Windows that people actually want to use, which is all proprietary.

All of this has been getting replaced by the web over the course of twenty years.

The primary exception to this is games, because they're so resource intensive and benefit from being closer to the metal. Which is why gaming APIs are significant -- AAA games don't get converted into a web page and therefore are the main thing still tying a large group of consumers to Windows.

2, if not 3, of the examples you provided are generally considered amongst the most difficult NES games, and in fact led to the trope of "Nintendo Hard"

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NintendoHard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_hard

Much of it had to do with the technical limitations of the systems, which often led to requiring pixel-perfect accuracy to avoid hitboxes.

However, it also stems from the arcade legacy, where game plays were challenging and short, with very little handholding from the game design (i.e., throwing you in the deep end)

Replaying games like Megaman II and Ninga Gaiden on emulators, I now get a visceral distaste for the overwhelming difficult; however, back when I played them as a kid, it was just the way games were, and I would routinely finish these games in the 2-day rental period allotted.

(I assume some people have exactly the opposite reaction, pining for the days when games were merciless)

Basically, our gaming sensibilities have evolved (or devolved) as the medium has grown over time.

> Why can't you just add more smaller muscle fibers that work in concert?

Great question. And yes, you can have lots of smaller ones to do the work of a few larger ones. The strength (stress) comes essentially from the cross sectional area of the muscle (or bundle of). And no matter how thin you make the spaghetti, you still need an equivalent volume of it to get the same cross section, For a given length.

The reason speed, as in how many times a second you can make it contract and lengthen, is a limiting factor comes down to good old force = mass x acceleration. Want to make it go faster?then you need higher pressure. So now You have a lot of water you need to move at high pressure with very rapid acceleration. This means the scale of the pumping equipment gets prohibitive very rapidly.

Real muscles work at a fundamental level by a kind of ratcheting mechanism between proteins that pull each other together. This process can happen very quickly. Mammal muscles don’t need to pump lots of liquids around with high acceleration and velocity. So there is actually a lot less inertia from moving mass in real muscle.

Another issue I didn’t touch on in my earlier post is that this kind of muscle is very difficult to do strain and force sensing with. To make motion with this kind of actuator that is both rapid and smooth is extremely difficult and still an open problem.
You're right most of the time. But eventually some things change. I never said it was efficient as it is.

When thinking about “carbon stores” - it is significantly more preferable to turn managed forests into manufactured wood products for buildings and furniture (where the CO2 gets functionally stored and then possibly tossed in a landfill far in the future) to turning those forests into wood pellets to be burned as biomass.

Managed forestry has the ability to, relatively trivially and particularly when compared to other “carbon sequestration alternatives” lock in decent magnitudes of carbon as we figure out our energy system.

Particularly helps when comparing to other building material options (bricks, concrete, steel all very energy intensive and not decarbonized yet).
>My understanding is that in "queer theory" gender is 100% socially constructed.

Yes. Gender is a social construct. Sex is a biological construct. Sex is not gender, and gender is not sex. They are typically correlated, but are not the same.

>This essentially means "women" are socially constructed.

To a degree, yes. Obviously humans are primates that display sexual dimorphism by which the females of the species ideally possess a vagina, womb and two x chromosomes, along with other attributes differentiating them biologically from males.

But "woman" is an overloaded term which has never exclusively referred to biological sex, but also to the roles, duties and behavior by which societies recognize and classify gender. And the relationship between gender and sex is a cultural, not biological, imperative which can differ from culture to culture, and can change within a culture over time.

Windows 11 is launching with literal TV commercials. The Surface Pro 7 earlier this year launched with commercials comparing the device to Apple laptops -- again, literal TV ads.

So why is it suddenly toxic for a Linux Institute blog to advertise Linux? Why is it toxic to mention in a blog (completely accurately) that the average Linux distro (even commercial distros like Ubuntu) have less telemetry than Windows 11? Windows 11 Home edition does still require a Microsoft account that users need to use airplane mode during setup to circumvent, right? It does genuinely have camera requirements for new manufacturers, right?

It's a wild double standard here to argue, from the position of a company that runs TV ads mocking its competitors about touchbars -- that the Linux community is stoking division by publishing a blog post that compares Linux to Windows on the day of a new Windows release.

Of course there's a bias to the article, it's an advertisement. But I don't understand why the Linux community is held to this standard that no other OS manufacturer follows. Apple/Microsoft/Android run ads attacking competitors all the time, much more prominently, and nobody accuses them of being "territorial" because they try to distinguish their products.
Unions' interests are not aligned with those of the company. If the company needs to shed a bunch of people or switch business models or _hire different talent_ the union will resist, because their job is to maximize the number and pay of jobs for their members.

The prime example of this being a problem right now is longshoremen in LA and Long Beach resisting automation.

The other issue with co-op like structures is that they don't provide enough upside for company founders and early employees. Founders need the chance to make big money or they won't take big risks (see: Europe for an example of this). One of the reasons the NYC rideshare co-op is failing is because no software engineer wants to work at some rando startup for a fraction of what they could make at Uber & Lyft.

Unions work when the work is highly commoditized and technological improvement is stagnant. I can't say that's the case for a huge percentage of jobs today.
Maybe ask economists if there's a 'credible economic theory of firm “power seeking”'?

Regarding archive.org, it’s worth to note that you can submit an URL for archival through their site. Here: http://web.archive.org/save

Another thing to note is that in the past they would retroactively apply robots.txt, such that if a previously archived URL was matched by a disallow directive in a later crawl of robots.txt, the page would be removed from public view. Fortunately they began reconsidering this behavior in 2017 though, and started not applying later robots.txt for some domains. Not sure about the current status of that though. Here’s a a blog post they wrote about it, from 2017: http://blog.archive.org/2017/04/17/robots-txt-meant-for-sear...

Meanwhile, even Google does not interpret robots.txt the way they used to: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/in...

So hopefully crawled robots.txt etc will not prevent public access to archived pages in the future the way that it used to.

The main problem, aside from original owner putting directives in robots.txt that would cause archive.org to remove a page from public view, was that if a domain expired and someone else picked up the domain and made a robots.txt, then that one would be retroactively applied as well. And even if the new owner did not intend to remove anything from public view on archive.org, they could do so unintentionally simply by having a strict robots.txt and not being aware of what this would mean to archive.org when they crawled the domain again.

Another question though is, how are ancestors 500 years into the future going to know to look at the Internet Archive for the pages that OP made? And how will they know what URLs to look for? Though this same thing applies for most of the other solutions as well anyhow.

If the website must be available on the internet than you are mistaken, the planet is becoming inhabitable and fast. This is a scientific fact.

ISPs and mobile network providers? On the French market Orange (the former state monopoly) is usually 25%-50% more expensive, with less features, slightly better coverage (for mobile networks) and "enterprise support" than the 3 other competitors. Having them as an ISP makes absolutely zero sense - no IPv6, IPv4 gets rotated daily, shit hardware. They have time limited exclusivity for some places (e.g. if they put down fiber in a city, they have exclusivity over the network for 2-3 years and then anyone can use it), but that really doesn't explain their market share.

It's like reading Paul Krugman talking about stuff other than economics. Freaking genius economist with amazing papers and articles (my personal favorite is his joke-but-actually-realistic paper on intergalactic trade). But then he strays into territory where he isn't actually an expert, connects a few dots, and then publishes in his NYT column despite it being mostly rubbish.
Agreed, that's the catch. It is difficult reading. I would argue that without a grasp of Hegel's basic theories you can't even start, and without a grasp of Marx's basic theories you can't get from Hegel to the modern age.

For anyone reading the comments, one of the best sources I've found, that remind me very much of my own days in formal humanities education so much that I find myself listening to the lectures more than once, is a youtube channel from a professor in the Pacific Northwest named Wes Cecil.

He has a whole series of one-hour public lectures (as in... targeted to the general public who may or may not have a humanities background themselves, not humanities university students who do) which cover the basic concepts of the most prominent figures in modern PHIL.

ps: he didn't get to Hegel until 2019 so it's not in the PHIL playlist on his channel [1]

Schengen traffic stops (allowed on/near transit highways and train lines, as well as either 20 or 50km next to national borders) exist, indeed, but the cops do not have the right (or the equipment) to acess your digital devices.

We have a rather dumb slow-cooker left by a previous tennant. 170W on High, with some lower value on Low and Warm. 95% of the heat added once it reaches temperature is lost the environment. Lame!

Low Tech Magazine has a nice article on the topic [1] of 'Fireless Cookers' which while a bit bulky look like they could cut a lot of energy waste, esp. if there is a mini heating element to top-up heating losses.

Thermos also make a 4.5L vacuum cooker ("Shuttle Chef") which looks ideal but it for some reason is eye-wateringly expensive and apparently only made in or for Japan.

If the starting temperature is 20C then to get to boiling you need to add 80 kelvin * 1000 gram * 4.2 joule/gram = 336 kJ to get to 100C. At 1000 W that takes 336 seconds, or 5 minutes 36 seconds. In practice my 850 W microwave takes nine minutes to raise a litre of milk to 85C from fridge temperature so I don't think there is too much risk of boiling.

Very neat article. I consider myself a novice at slow cooking meat. I've done Sous-Vide, crock pot, and Kamado cooking. By far, Kamado is king.

Next time you think of buying a BBQ, find a used Kamado. Don't overthink it. Just do it. A little more prep, but not really more work.

It's as simple as:
1. Stir the charcoal to get rid of the ash
2. Add more charcoal
3. Light charcoal, leave grill open.
4. Come back 15 mins later, set Kamado up (deflector plate, grills, etc) and close Kamado.
5a. Set up digital temperature control
5b. Wait 20 minutes and make temperature adjustment.
6. Wait 60-90 minutes, add meat.
7. Drink beer, relax.
8. Eat.

It's really not complicated, especially if you are on Hacker News reading this. Add as much charcoal as you want. Leave the too vent half or 1/3 open. Control temperature with oxygen flow via the bottom door.

It really is that simple.

As for how this ties in to the article, a cubic centimeter of water will turn into 5500 cubic centimeters of steam. All the water in your meat will turn to vapor and exit the Kamado. But slowly. Which, as the article states is optimal because the high moisture in the air keeps meat moist over long cooks which allows the breakdown of collagen.

The other cool thing is that the bigger a cut of meat, the longer it takes to cook, the MORE TIME it spends traversing from 160 degrees until the finish temperature. More time = better collagen breakdown.

Anyway, completely concur, slow cooking meat is king. Where I dissent is that meat shouldn't be cooked IN water or fluid, and shouldn't be steamed. Crust is everything. Built that crust!
