Using analog brightness control is nice because there is no flicker, and there is no stepping. But, with common potentiometers there is only a very narrow operating band due to how nonlinear the LEDS are, and it tends to be pretty touchy due to construction of the pot.

I would love to figure out how to make an arbitrary transfer function shape using a pot as input, and some combination of transistors/op-amps to keep the nice analog behavior.

I spoke to the government, they concur. People in fact die from diseases that are not limited to Covid-19. What now?
Yeah I think you could have gotten very far with a light touch here. For instance, just a few well-placed character moments between Paul and his father would have heightened the impact of what happens later in the film. And maybe also a few scenes where the characters are actually experiencing joy together to better contrast the hardships later on. The tone of the movie is generally so dour and one-note - maybe that is part of the aesthetic Villeneuve is trying to create, but I think even a little bit of emotional range could have gone a long way.
I agree - I rejected quite a few fonts on account of insufficient distinction between 1 and lowercase L.

For me, it is not sufficient that I can distinguish between the members of problematic sets side-by-side: whenever you see one on its own, there should be no doubt which one it is.

our digital lives are now lived within black box straight-jacketing walled gardens, mediated by undemocratically wielded algorithms and protocols.

there is no hardware interoperability, modularity and repairability. it's just obfuscated single-use hardware with parasitic economic rents through and through.

"What if we thought of some of the most lucrative tech companies as essentially tax collectors, but privately-run (and thus not democratically accountable)? Economists call this rent-seeking, and what we’re seeing with a lot of tech companies is that their telos is little more than “rent-seeking as a service”. It’s basically baked in to their business model. Once you’ve fully developed the technology underpinning your service - be it coordinating food delivery, or processing payments, or displaying intrusive ads to people who just want to read a goddamn page on the Internet without being entreated to buy stuff - then your whole schtick then becomes collecting taxes on a whole ecosystem of economic activity."

> Can you elaborate on how mobile and cloud destroyed your family and friends?

'cloud' SaaSS social media firms are soul-sucking culture-destroying black-boxes optimized for 'engagement' - i.e. highlighting the worst of humanity (while ignoring the magic). it exploits people's insecurities, their shame, their grief, their desire to belong. it's one of the most destructive homogenizing forces that exist today.

what i want to see is the abolishing of the intellectual property system and the abolishing of silicon valley [2]. what if we had a world wide web that was inherently dedicated to lifelong learning and growth for all? universal access to our techno-scientific inheritance? all i see today are walls instead of bridges. instead we need open protocols and open standards from the top to the bottom of the stack.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but from reading the book I just don't see the white savior angle. Freemen were indoctrinated by the Bene Gesserit to believe in a prophesy and Jessica "lies" to them to make them believe Paul is the one.

Freemen are being oppressed, but they aren't the weak ones in Dune not by a long shot since they even have enough wealth to outbid the empire on satellites in orbit around Arrakis.

I want to see Dune God Emperor adapted now that would start getting to "seriously weird" territory.
Thanks for this! Peer review is super tricky. It is something that can work well if things are set up right, and very poorly if not. Some of my learnings from Peergrade and Eduflow is that good peer review experiences come down to getting a few things right.

1. You want to make sure students have time to do it well. Instead of asking students to give feedback to large amounts of work, reduce the workload. Rather good feedback to one submission than poor feedback to three.

2. Use really good guiding feedback rubrics. These should help students write feedback that is actually useful. Instead of asking "Give feedback on the style" which can lead to "Great style", you want to ask things like "Find a place in the code where the style is good, and explain why it is good".

3. Ask learners to give feedback on the feedback they receive, and use that to incentivize learners to give good feedback. In my own courses using peer review, around 20-30% of the final grade was based on feedback quality.

There are of course many other parts to this, but those are some of the most important. Eduflow has a bunch of functionality to support this, including a feedback reflection activity etc.

> You may not learn "programming" this way, but all of these are going to be useful skills when you work as a programmer.

It seems my life as a programmer is fighting with tools, fixing bugs in legacy code in a myriad of languages (including C++), reviewing code, resolving merge conflicts, configuring CI/CD, writing tests, benchmarking, monitoring... And it's not like we can choose the programming languages we want anyway.

Learning different paradigms and languages is all good, but it's really a tiny part of our job.

Not an ancient ornate bookstore in Europe but I enjoy the Midtown Scholar in Harrisburg PA. It isn't captured in pictures I could find on the internet but the Scholar has an endless basement full of books (the majority of its wallspace is underground I believe).
> That seems too complicated for every single pharmacy in Europe. I bet they just punch in some data to a web app and it does the actual cryptographic signing.

Yeah, but if they provide an web app that can create CSRs and automatically get them signed certificates, which then can be used to create QR codes, it is easy to provide traceable individual private keys for each pharmacy. E.g. when the pharmacy logs in, they just click "Generate Credentials" button, and they are done!
I'll throw in an anecdote: I didn't know stay-at-home parents were a thing until embarrassingly late. Like mid- to late-teens. Both my parents worked, all _their_ parents worked, and all my friends parents worked. The only exposure I had to the concept of homemakers was very tangentially on tv, where I assumed the mothers were home because they took the day off. The general attitude of everyone involved in my life was that anyone who stayed at home after the children were old enough to attend school was lazy and mooching off their spouse. Not that that is true, but to directly answer your question: yes, there are people who don't value homemakers.

I guess you can make the argument that crypto is useful as a form of entertainment, but that's one hell of a polluting casino you got there.
Same for me. I've always had a hard time reading sci-fi because of all that, especially everyone and everything having impossible to pronounce names.

I started reading it a few months ago. Linus Torvalds mentioned that he often rereads it in some interview, and I was looking for a new book to start so I went with that. I was unaware there was an existing movie or a new one coming out. It was a rough start, I gave up on it a few times but ultimatley kept with it. The timing was perfect. I ended up getting to the part just before where the movie ends so when I watched it, the book was fresh in my mind and the ideas and character traits that are only hinted at in the movie were clear to me, and I got to experience a bit of the story for the first time through the movie.
I think the dystopia comes more from everything being paid for by ads (which demand more detailed metrics and engagement) than mobile/cloud.
I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding, but wouldn't introducing tax breaks simply be reducing the problem back to financial metrics?

I think what you're talking about most closely aligns with charities, and how charities talk about their societal impact they're able to have. Even then, the discussion seems to generally come back to impact per dollar.

I'm not sure how we can replace thinking of incentives in a financial sense with their societal impact, but it would be great if we could.

I would perhaps put forth the idea of a "hours/years saved" metric vs. some next best alternative? Good luck to the accountants on this one.
Sorry for the typo! I don't think I can edit the headline.
77 TB of compressed publications.

That's pretty crazy to think about, even if you consider overhead and multimedia assets like images often included in PDFs. I remember the old "the library of congress fits on this CDROM" analogies (which wasn't entirely true) but this takes it to a whole new level.

At some point, it seems like in research, it will be far easier to skip the lit review and just do the work then later if you do the same work someone else did, compare results for consistency. We may yet get through the hurdle of the reproducibility crisis due to the deluge of information. The underlying issue though is, because you couldn't find the related effort that caused you to independently attempt to replicate the effort, you may also never find all the duplicate efforts to compare for consistency.
> at the end of the day, I think Mozilla and Firefox are still the lesser evil in the borwser war

And that is exactly the problem. I don't want to accept any "evil". "The other guy is worse" has never been a good excuse for bad behavior.

> they have aggressively worked to end tracking

They still use google analytics on their own websites. Firefox by default still allows ads, which are the main driver of user tracking.

> a mobile browser that actually supports extensions where possible

Extensions, or only extensions allowed by Mozilla aka browser features with extra steps.

Most of that post had nothing to do with heat pumps, however digging 1km down for a single family home is generally a poor method of extracting energy from the earth as it can be as little as 6C and is only 25C on average above ambient temperature.

Much higher ground temperatures are of course useful to create electricity, but such systems are best centralized not used for single family homes. Also, as a centralized system it’s volume is arbitrary. In the north that 6-25C can still make heat pumps vastly more efficient, but you’re extracting energy and cooling that down over time. Which is why it is relevant to the discussion.

I think this discussion is interesting but misguided. For consumer laptops, light, very thin, and a single USB-C port makes sense to me. On the other hand, if you are building a larger form factor laptop for professional use, why not add additional ports, they are easy to fit into the design.

My Dad is 100 years old, and we were having a friendly disagreement over Apple gear: he is a fan of the desktop Mac Pros, just bought another new one in the last year. I was trying to point out that my wife’s new iPhone 13 Pro can probably process video competitively with Intel chips and conventional GPUs. I based this on the real time video effects, driven by deep learning models, that the new iPhone can do in real time. My Dad uses his desktop Mac Pro exclusively for video editing and 3D rendering. I was stating an opinion that I thought one of the new laptops with 64G ram in the SOC, with the extra GPUs and neural processing units would be better for video editing.

If big corporations which have exposure to billions of users/customers were prosecuted for every crime they committed, they would simply not exist. The odds of committing a crime against someone are almost 100%. Every decision they make will harm many people in a critical way and they know this, the ill intent is an implicit aspect of every decision they make and the costs are almost always externalized. Without proof of explicit, targeted malice, the victims have no recourse in our modern legal system.

I get what you mean, but I still disagree. "Jihad" is a poor example, because it is essentially a word in the English dictionary too.

Say, we use this as a made-up example: "shay' tayir". Do any of the words mean anything to you? If you don't speak Arabic, I doubt it. I just used Google Translate to translate "flying thing" to Arabic (no idea how it sounds to a native speaker). There's a limit to what sounds familiar, and when you cross that limit, you might just randomly make up words and the result would be the same for most people.
Good point. We will add more features in the near future, for which users will need to get a license, but our model is very close to what Sublime Text or some others offer, where there is always a free option for evaluation or non professional use.

I find it very hard to support that much spending when they haven't even figured out where they're going to get the money from.

Quit layering more laws on top of other laws. Review the current system because it's _obvious_ it's not working - and update the tax system. Too bad the government has so much corporate money baked into it's procedures that it'll never happen.

I glanced at the article and I'm not sure if I'm incorrect/misremembering, or if it's the classic NPR spin, but wasn't this part of the whole "taxing unrealized gains" plan as a way to pay for this?

Wait and watch it with part 2.

My biggest gripe with it is that it's just yet another Villeneuve movie. It's not different enough compared to BR2049. It seems as if 2049 was just a study for Dune. (Because probably it was.) And there's just not enough life in Dune compared to the richness of the books. (Nor in BR. Or in Arrival. ... Because Villeneuve emphasizes the anxiety of alienation a bit too much...?)
In the near future modern OSs will block the screenshot when you are displaying NFT content.

And also the drivers of your videocard will prevent outputting such data via uncertified cables.

There will also be a hidden watermark in case you want to take a picture of it with your camera, which ofcourse is not allowed.
