If it was a random employee, then I'd agree with you that it would be possible. But she is/was the director of metallurgy at the foundry, so hard to remove her from any responsibility.
Steels can undergo a transition to becoming brittle when they get cold (called a “ductile-to-brittle” transition). It’s important to know what the properties would be like in this regime and -70C is enough to get there (even 0C can be enough, depending on the alloy).

The reason this person may have thought the -70C test eqs stupid is because a sub will never be working in conditions much colder than the freezing temperature of water (which is not strongly pressure dependent, btw), since the water would want to freeze - not good for the boat.
I don't think this is a solution since you're likely a power user, but https://www.photopea.com/ is surprisingly good. It also retains photoshop's keyboard shortcuts, so my muscle memory is satisfied. It's noticeably slow when doing complex stuff - but for my casual purposes it's great.
If buying a virtual good from oneself at any arbitrary price was easy, money laundering would be solved problem for criminals, regardless of NFTs or not, wouldn't you agree?
I understood what they meant perfectly well. Are you perhaps not a native English speaker?
Happy to discuss further in private. See my profile.
"designer clothes, luxury watches, and fancy cars" all have understandable limits to production and have genuine scarcity (even if that scarcity is strictly controlled). NFTs have artificial scarcity... for little to no purpose other than monetary gain. Generally I am against the concept of artificial scarcity in any industry.
The goal of the plan is the planning. Pre-mortems train you to think of what could go wrong to build general problem-solving strategies and tooling. The key is to not over-index on any one particular possible outocome or type of scenario.

From TFA:

> Now you have a list of actions to avoid. Avoiding them begins to move you away from failure and closer to reaching your goal.

Alternatively: Now you have a list of bad things and some ideas of what you would do or tooling you would need when bad things happen.

In the good case this is "boy scouts being prepared." In the bad case this is "hoarder preppers detached from reality with unnecessary firepower."

<disclaimer> After using Vim, VSCode and IDEs for many years, only recently have I tried to get seriously into Emacs.
I use it for everything nowadays (from organisation to coding) with the exception of some very large Java projects where IntelliJ is definitely the best option for me.

org-mode was my "gateway". I always wanted to learn Lisp, so I guess that was a plus too (I'm aware Elisp is not the best way to learn it).
</disclaimer>

I don't know if VSCode will be the new Emacs but I doubt it.
It will be, and already is, hugely more popular, and I'm glad it is. I believe in people having a good choice of open source tools and using whatever they feel better using.

What I like about Emacs is that you are given vanilla editor and you have to make it "your own".
Now some people like this, some people hate this. Some people like to quickly download a VSCode extension and just get on with it.

I also like how Emacs' "things" can have a synergy. I just recently setup my blog to be written in org with Jupyter-like code examples, pre-processing and exporting. This involves a few packages but they worked together nicely, It's all text after all.

I don't know how to do that in VSCode (parsing using an extension, processing the result using another, exporting with yet another, etc).
Perhaps it's simple, but I guess that if you are doing this, then between VSCode and Emacs, they both require a reasonable amount of work.

Regarding speed I'm using Emacs 28 native and I feel it's a massive improvement.

The Navy has a mandate to operate their subs anywhere on earth. Global lowest temperatures on record are around -90C, with the lows (in [0]) outside of Antarctica still hitting -68C. Being in the ocean will mediate some of those lows, but there's still the potential for exposure to very low temperatures on the surface.

Toilet paper is bulky for a store, but it's non-perishable, so under normal circumstances people buy a couple of month supply and return to the store when it runs low. The COVID shock meant that everyone replenished their TP supply at once, which screwed up the system by increasing demand x10.

Plus the commercial domestic imbalance.
To be clear, I’m not arguing against cosmetic items in games, I’ve got hundreds of dollars worth of cosmetic MTX associated with a game I play.

I can believe it. I stopped attending conferences in San Francisco. My last conference was in 2017 and I told my boss then I'm never going back. I've had several friends vacationing in SF going back to the 90's and they said they'd never go back and I always said they were over reacting (I've been going to SF on a regular basis for the past twenty years). Not anymore. The homeless were all over the sidewalks and they had added a new feature - aggressive dogs! People follow you into cafes and stand in line behind you and beg for food (which was already 1.5x-2x priced compared to anywhere else in the country). The BART station smells like a latrine. I could go on.

> The whole city has a apocalyptic vibe right now.

Yes - that's a good way to describe it and that's how I felt. It was unreal. Mind you I regularly visit NYC, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. They're all model cities compared to SF. I can tell you one thing - no job is worth living in SF. I'd either find another job or work remote and live elsewhere.
If that's the line, then there can be no objective science, as all funding organizations have motives beyond curiosity.
Great job! Love the UI. Did you build this from scratch or is it an extended, existing database front-end? The search/filters/sorting would be really useful to generalise as its own package!
... or it's sitting at the surface at a very cold place. (yes, it obviously won't completely cool down to that temperature, but is exposed to temperatures at least close to it)
It will still be on the chain though.
I run a Linux workstation, but keep a Windows laptop. I find the MacBook Pro keyboards have too low travel distance and that aggravates RSI (I have an early Intel model that has an amazing keyboard, but is practically useless). Most of the laptops that ship with Linux have the same restriction for me. To get a laptop with decent key travel, I usually end up with a Lenovo that ships with Windows on it. I've tried dual booting, but outside of Pop_OS!, I haven't found a distro that can switch between the two video cards sensibly. I couldn't get i3 running on Pop_OS!, so I largely just stick with Windows there.

I suppose that's a long-winded way of saying that running Windows on a laptop is just way more practical for me. But I do all of my development on a workstation.

Huh. That's not my impression of anarchism. Not the people I've met for sure. And given the long history of anarchism in labor activism, I have a hard time believing it was ever purely about "the central state".
Good to hear!

Digging a little more, it seems like the answer is sometimes yes. In this thread NBA Topshot is excluded: https://old.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/m1mb0s/can_someon...

Is that thread correct? Is the general theme that corporate NFTs don't truly decentralize, but small players and committed crypto people put their NFTs on Ethereum so they can be moved around?
> And, most importantly, the artists and non-profit organizations in the arts are getting paid via NFT sales.

So why couldn't you have just donated money to the artists and right-click-saved / printed the art anyway, without involving a blockchain?
This is easily verified as nonsense.

>And I won't move to Mac, because of the missing link in Apple's product lineup. I'd move over in a heartbeat, if they had a midrange tower, beefier than an Mini, less expensive than a Pro, and sans monitor (iMac)

There's been some rumours of such a model, although not too frequently, although it's unknown to what price point it'd set.

https://www.macrumors.com/2021/03/01/fan-favorite-power-mac-...

I imagine they will release a Mac Mini (Pro) at some point with the same M1 Pro/Max internals at the new MacBook Pro, except inside a desktop computer. There's no doubt that it'd be beefier, but it might lack some of the Mac Pro features such as internal expandability (although it's still a question mark as to how internal expandability will work when the Mac Pro becomes an ARM machine).
I'd be curious about more details about how this was discovered. It says a lab employee reported discrepancies to corporate management after seeing evidence of altered test results etc. And from there it was relayed to the US Navy, which then fined the company. Which is how it should work.

It's just I'm surprised how the institutional incentives worked out: there are many places where the fraud could have been covered up. If the Navy levied a debilitating fine on the company for good faith reporting of issues, it'd create incentives for the company to lie. And the fine was $10M... is that lower than might have been done if not for the good faith reporting?

Having worked for a test lab, I can say that she should have just followed the test procedure.

At the same time, we don't know her qualifications other than that she is a 'metallurgist'. We do know that the Navy assessed no impact in the end. Maybe she used her knowledge of metallurgy to determine that the 'stupid' requirement was not needed, and maybe she was right. But she obviously handled it the wrong way.
I saw something like this described here: https://twitter.com/eevee/status/1455325800291397633

My personal view here is that your continued ability to own an NFT depends on your ability to tell an interesting story.

If 51% of the professional clout of the art world decides you don't own something any more, you ... might not?

If the metadata that denote ownership of beeple's first 5000 everydays are accidentally overwritten due to a small bug, probably everyone will agree to ignore that.

But if someone puts on a super cool art-thief costume and does a livestream where they write and execute software that resets the ownership so it's their art now, while they play "The Thomas Crown Affair" soundtrack in the background, probably everyone will go along with this, yeah?

(Certainly the theft of the Mona Lisa increased its value!)
The latency that this individual was experiencing with Workers wayyyyy back in 2019 was not caused by cold starts, but rather a bug in the workers runtime which caused rare but long pauses. Specifically, the bug involved a hash map with a broken hash function. Here's me publicly facepalming over the issue at the time: https://twitter.com/KentonVarda/status/1189966124688953344

But that was two years ago, Workers has grown ~an order of magnitude since then (both traffic and team size), and such a bug would be immediately noticed today.

The article author says that after the fix he still wasn't happy with performance, but I don't know what he was experiencing exactly. We've done a lot of other things to improve performance since then; it may very well be better today.
> What other course of action would you propose for a company? Just give up and donate their business to the communist party?

just because businesses fight regulation, doesn't mean they're morally in the right. Car companies fought seatbelt regulation for years. They also convinced their users/drivers that this was operating in their best interests and tried to get them on-side to fight said regulation.

Some thoughts:

1) Clean up the plural duplicates, e.g. peanut/peanuts, leek/leeks, carrot/carrots, etc.

2) I've never considered the author, is that common?

3) Mode to toggle pictures on would help scanning, cooking is very visual

4) Not simple to design, but some way to have either/or ingredients (e.g. peanuts OR cashews) could be useful
That's true. All my corporate issued Macs come with so much spyware they probably are heavier than normal Macs ;-)
I don't know about how cold deep artic waters may be (I doubt that much), but strength-stress curves are likely why. The easiest way to make something last long and not have unexpected accidents is to overrate it big time - such that any wear would need to become blatant.

To take an ergonomically silly exampke shovel handle could be a three inch diameter of solid steel that can take five metric tons per square centimeter as pressure without bending. If it wears out enough that it could snap by human body weight it would have to be worn quite a bit.

Where is the data coming from? Are you manually entering each recipe, ingredients, rating etc into a database or do you have an automated service pulling it all in from various apis/scraping?
A lot of the bad aspects of the stress response come from prolonged periods of not being able to do anything about it. If your village is raided, and you escape unharmed, you will be very stressed for a short period of time, but generally return to your baseline quickly after that. That's normal. That's what "stress" is for.

The modern world has the ability to stress you out over things you can do nothing about (or at least, not very directly and quickly), for long periods of time. Sit down and watch three hours a day for a week of whichever news channel pisses you off the most if you want to see. Some of you reading this already do that, so you may not even notice how pointlessly stressed that makes you because that's how you live. It also has a bunch of other humans who find it advantageous to stress you out that way and bend a lot of time and effort to the task of continually stressing you out, because they prefer that you not be able to carefully think about things but that you react less thoughtfully. You spend more money that way, among other effects.

Past life would spike the stress levels more often, sure, but it generally lacks the low-grade continual stress you can't do anything about. The exceptions that leap to mind (sieges! famine!) would generally be exactly that, exceptions. And in those cases... I'm sure the continual stress of sieges and famines wouldn't be good for them, either!

I do wonder for example, how general is something like "dating"? Did people everywhere always used to go to dates? Was that the mainstream "approved" way to fall in love always? Everywhere?

Regardless I doubt the test specifications came from a Wikipedia search for "coldest weather" rather than some sort of stress event with desired error bars so refuting it with such a search seems foolish, not the test.

There are enlightened companies out there:

“How much time would a $4,000, top-of-the market machine like the M1 shave off from each build? How much total time over 2 years? How much “value” does this time mean per engineer?

With the M1, the answer is a no-brainier. The $4,000 per engineer spent will bring back so much more productivity versus top-of-the-market Intel ones, including the 2021 one.“
