The space charge limit on the ion current increases with voltage, as does the momentum per particle. The result is that thrust/area of a given ion engine will scale as the square of the voltage. So, one doesn't want to reduce the voltage too much.

Electromagnetic rockets, like Hall thrusters, do not have the same space charge limit, and are typically operated at lower exhaust velocity.

Why would anyone need TV streaming while camping? Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose? Just take your PS5 and your workstation and you won't even need to look at the nature?
Exactly the same sentiment. My yearlong experiment to try to love mechanical keyboards left me with a thousand euro hole in my wallet and physical problems spanning from fingers to upper body musculature. I loved the tactile feel, but hated what they did to my body.

I think mechanical keyboards are just too high, with excessive travel. You sort of have to keep your hands floating in the air, which transfers stress to your neck, shoulders and upper body. No palm support I tried offered any substantial relief, probably due to the long travel and finger contortions required.

Second issue, perhaps I'm a poor typist, but my fingertips frequently got stuck between the keys, causing mistakes by triggering adjacent keys.

One day I got tired and bought a 10 euro keyboard from the grocery shop. Noname, slimline, rubber domes. What a relief that was.

These days I swear by Logitech MX Keys. Best keyboard I have ever touched.

After watching the LGR video on this, I was left thinking about his comment about the lack of 3D support. I figure this is due to the fact that the WeeCee uses components that are still manufactured, and no 3D chipset from that era is still in production. There's a ton of VGA clones with VBE 3 support for all sorts of industrial and IPMI purposes.

I was left wondering about the complexity of implementing a Voodoo 3 or early GeForce class card in a modern FPGA. They've got the logic density, memory bandwidth, and hundreds of hardware MACs. Compared to all the other technical hurdles, I keep thinking the most difficult task is actually getting ahold of the DirectX driver implementation manuals and references.

A $200 Xilinx part has 700 25x18 hardware MAC units, a couple hundred thousand logic cells, support for about 10 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and hardware PCIe support (use a PCI to PCIe bridge chip, if those are still around).

Things like the Graphics Gremlin and Snark Barker give me hope that some people are out there who'd care.

That and enough people who have the required skills and the desired to implement a graphics card from 20 to 25 years ago for antiquated operating systems.
I never said the choices were easy or cheap, or that they could be made on an individual basis.

On the contrary, many of these are collective choices made by society, especially when it comes to the law.

>What you're doing is like saying citizens of North Korea are "choosing" to live under the Kim regime because they could technically try to overthrow him if they wanted to. You have to consider the costs of doing so and the likelihood it would succeed.

I actually think this is the most insightful and humane way to think about those who live in NK under the Kim regime. They are born into an awful situation where their choices are very limited. They can collaborate, resist, or try to flee and all have unattractive consequences. I wouldn't disparage someone for choosing any of the above given such poor options. The plight of these people is defined by their lack of attractive choices, for example, they can not choose to emigrate from NK, or vote in free elections.

Similarly, this framing showcases the bravery and optimism when people choose to do make hard choices, like to be a resistor in NK, despite the tremendous cost and low chance of success.

To me, saying people have no choice is dehumanizes those both those who suffer or secede based on their choices.

The idea/term of "Outbox" really reminds me of email of the old days (in the 90s) where you have a desktop email client (e.g. Eudora, or Internet Mail and News, or even earlier versions of Outlook Express) that don't do auto-sends, and only connect to your POP3/SMTP servers when you click Send and Receive. This was probably due to internet being on dial-up and being billed by the minutes was common so users limited their internet time (e.g. disconnect from internet if writing a long email response, etc.). I have a lot of nostalgia from those days vs the always-on culture now.

I like that you were able to spot this particular usage pattern as something to narrow in on for your product. I don't know if this would catch on as a trend (for example, like ephemeral messaging did when Snap came out), but I wish you all the best!

OK, thank you.

Consider a pre-trial objective: "We will be testing this medication on patients who have already indicated that it helps with their affliction. Participants will be sorted into groups that get one of (a) a placebo, or (b) reduced, (c) increased, or (d) unchanged dosage relative to the dose they have reported to be effective enough relative to side effects." Such a trial could actually be useful, but good luck getting the epistemology sticklers to sign off on it.

Also, antidepressants characteristically have history-dependent effects. Often, suddenly going off one renders it ineffective if resumed. So good luck with the ethics.

Also: I would like to see the word "affliction" in more medical papers.

> But for some reason Chromecast only detected the Roku TV in my roommate's bedroom, not the Roku Ultra.

I used to have this problem because my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz SSIDs had separate LANs. So if Chromecast was connected to 2.4Ghz (as they like to do) and your phone was connected to 5Ghz, your phone won't be able to see the Chromecast. The remedy is to either bridge the networks or connect to the appropriate band.
GAC claims 626-mile range for new LX electric SUV
it seems to me that the biggest problem OP faces is the relationship to themselves. Before you can effectively love others you need to be able to be good company to yourself. Because who will put up with you if you don't even think you're worthy of love.

I stopped counting the number of times they mentioned that they considered themselves stupid. There is so much negative and toxic self critic in this post that my feeling is that this is the biggest most fundamental issue that I would look at tackling.

Once you can sit in a room by yourself and be truly happy with your own company go and be open to relationships - but not before - otherwise you're back to square one but only worse because now you have an additional reason that you will use to justify your self hate. Love yourself first. Out of that love maybe you find somebody maybe not. It doesn't matter. Out of that maybe kids can happen - or not. If you ask your partner (or worse your kids) to fix you eventually it will all come back to you. You gotta do that work in the end by yourself. Anything else is cheating.
thank you, that's quite something.

> the $20/$30 minimum cable packages in the US were more than Netflix is today

I highly disagree with that sentiment. Cheap cable packages maybe had 40 channels which barely expanded on the local broadcast availability, littered with advertisements. No real dedicated movie channels, movies were often cropped and edited to fit the time slots and ratings allocations for the channels when they did air. Time shifting meant having to keep a VCR well stocked, or later buy/rent a DVR. And if your VHS or DVR was full, well, you're out of luck, you just missed that episode. Decide you want to start watching some TV show that's been on for a few seasons? You're out of luck, better go rent some tapes or DVDs to get caught up. Want to watch on the go? Sorry, you're out of luck, the only place you can consume this is at home, or lug around a TV, VCR, and VHS tapes with you.

For less than half the price of your supposed $20 cable package (before adding additional expensive hardware) I can watch literally thousands and thousands of movies and shows at a moment's notice anywhere I have an internet connection.

As someone who's driven a manual for the last 15 years (agree they are super fun), there are definitely cons to it:

* If you live in a place with hills, it will be annoying to drive. (Initially it might feel like it'd be a fun challenge to deal with the hills, but it gets old pretty quickly.)

* If you live in a place where you have to deal with frequent stops due to heavy traffic or multiple nearby stop signs, it will be annoying to drive. (No fun challenge here; this is just flat-out annoying.)

* If you want or need a friend to drive your car in a pinch (say you've had too much to drink, or you sprained your ankle on a hike), they likely will not know how (depends on where you live; I'm in the US, where most people don't know how). On the flip side, "oh, sorry, it has a manual transmission" is a great no-blame, no-awkward excuse if you don't want to let someone drive your car.

* Related, but your significant other, if you have one, might not know how to drive it, and might not be interested in learning (before anyone says anything: no, there's nothing wrong with this attitude; being able to drive stick doesn't give you some sort of moral superiority), and that could create some annoying logistical problems at times.

* Less of an issue if you're buying used, but in many markets (again, I mainly know about the US market), manufacturers are dropping the manual transmission options, or are only allowing them on the more expensive trim levels. Even if you're buying used, your available options may be many fewer than if you were looking for an automatic car. Then again, the used car market is nuts right now, and I don't know, but maybe that's making it easier to find a manual car, since they're not usually in high demand.

I'm tiptoeing into the market for a new car now, and as much as it will sadden me, I'm almost certainly going to go for an automatic transmission. Finding a manual is requiring more compromises on other features than I want to make, and some of the cons I've listed above have, over time, hit me kinda hard.
I have a CM Novatouch (Topre switches, Cherry-compatible stems) that I got for 99$ before it went out of production and it’s still my daily driver. It was quite noisy out of the box, but with silencing o-rings (that I got from a specialized eBay shop and cost almost as much as the keyboard) it became quiet and perfect. Not sure why they stopped making it — maybe precisely because it was too inexpensive for a Topre and it was undercutting the RealForces…

This article was really trying to illustrate game theory concepts with a story about greedy doctors, but it was unfortunately framed as if it's trying to solve a greedy doctor problem using game theory. It might have fared better using different analogies.
Umm, could you help educate us. How do you know/state this so confidently?

The way I see it, there are roughly infinite previously non-constructible parts that by definition we as a society couldn't test. Now that we can construct these new parts, shouldn't we test them and then use them if they are better/cheaper?

Good and accurate article! Sums up why I love Topre boards. They are just special. I love the key-feeling. All the other things are bonuses (quality manufacturing, made in Japan, will last me 15 years etc.).
I bought four Topre keyboards during the pandemic lockdown. Very nice to type on, especially the silent versions, but latency is an issue: it seems the boards use a 30Hz internal scan rate. There are two scan rates for modern USB keyboards that affect final latency: #1. the internal scan rate which is how frequently the onboard keyboard controller scans all the keys for whether they are in a key-up or key-down state, which can be anywhere from 30-8000Hz (new gaming boards advertise 8000Hz); #2. the USB poll rate, usually 125Hz, though typically 1000Hz for gaming keyboards and as low as 60-90Hz for Bluetooth keyboards.

So if internal scan rate is 30Hz or 33ms and poll rate is 125Hz or 8ms then worse case latency is 33+8=41ms and average latency is about half that or ~20ms.

Note that a Topre keyboard is no worse latency-wise than an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, and most people who use Apple's wireless keyboards don't notice the latency is so high, nor do I ever hear people complain that Apple's wireless Bluetooth mouse is only 90Hz polling instead of the standard 125Hz for PC mice and the standard 1000Hz for gaming mice. An online mouse rate checker gives fairly accurate results:

I ended up preferring Cherry MX Silent keyboards over Topre. They are linear whereas Topre has a bit of snap-down due to its rubber domes. It's really personal preference which you will prefer. I like linear better. Cherry MX is a bit scratchier but after a month of use the keys get a bit smoother and many people lube Cherries with Krytox teflon grease to make them smoother. I suspect most would prefer Cherry MX Silent Red which has a 60 gram bottom out force but there is also Cherry MX Silent Black which has an 80 gram bottom out force. The MX Silent Black is most similar to how piano keys feel (with much shorter ~3.6mm key travel though).

The two best MX Silent boards I tried were the Durgod Taurus K320 available from Amazon ($100-$150) and the Ducky One 2 available from mechanicalkeyboards.com ($100-$110). Both have PBT keycaps (like the legendary IBM Model M which I also love but which is too loud and clacky for my quiet audio workstation) and have quiet stabilizers straight out of the box that don't rattle and don't need to be lubed or messed with. (And the worst Cherry Silent board I tried was Cherry's own MX Silent Board which was incredibly loud.)

rtings.com does keyboard latency tests and found that the Ducky One 2 has a total latency of about 7-8ms whereas the Durgod is ~16ms. The Ducky also house built-in macro reprogramming with no janky Chinese Windows tool download needed.

But the Ducky's PBT keycaps were quite rough for my fingertips so I replaced them with smoother PBT sets from Amazon. The Mistel and Tecware keycaps are both smoother PBT and very nice. The Tecware keycaps are only $20, amazing value.
I think you've touched on something that I had only experientially known - that increasing key travel to an extent can actually increase typing speed. On the MacBook butterfly keyboards with nearly zero travel, my typing speed is so slow. But on a board with Cherry MX Blues/Red my typing speed increases significantly

This study has a solid methodology, and concluded that microdosing positive effects look significantly similar to placebo.

Given psychedelic agonistic activity on the 5ht2b receptors, chronic use is advised against because of the possibility of significant injury to the heart.

Fen-phen, notorious for causing heart failure, had the same mechanism of action. Phentermine and its analogs are still in use, but fenfluramine was found to be lethally dangerous, because of significant agonistic activity at 5ht2b receptors.

It remains to be seen if the dose makes the poison, but chronic stimulation of the receptors would seem to be inadvisable, given that the benefits of microdosing aren't distinguishable from placebo, according to a well designed study.

Full, heroic doses every 6 months have a proven positive effect, so treat yourself to a trip under the right conditions if you're wanting a boost to creativity and calming of the inner chatter.

Alright, now that you have laid out your argument we can see how silly it is. The fact that some people don't like a regulation, or that some people choose to contravene it, doesn't mean that such regulation is illegitimate. A regulation is legitimate as long as it is put in place by a legitimate (i.e. democratic) government. And since a democratic government represents the will of the people, it's clear that we the people have indeed put the regulation in place. Nobody says you have to agree with it, but not agreeing with a regulation is not a reason to infringe it. That's just childish.
Can anyone else comment on the SaaS companies like LaunchDarkly - where (afaik) the meta data for your feature flags are stored on some server external to your company and this "enables you to instantly turn on or off features".

I work in a big bank so this would just be laughed at, but has anyone used this? Why is it attractive at all? Surely there needs to be some release process of some sort ? what if they go down ? what if you stop paying them? How can you do useful things like "launch to only the Japanese users" without handing launchdarkly a list of japanese users?

It's one of the weirder SaaS areas - almost all the cost of Flags is in the writing of the code (and removing it later). Not the bit flip.

And if, as someone implies uothread, it's useful to speed up releases well, you are solving the wrong problem in very much the wrong way ..
Long time Topre user here. I have four of those now, had a few more over the years. The best for me is the 45gr uniformly weighted realforce pfu ltd - which allows, with a keypress, to change the actuation point. More shallow for gaming, deeper for typing.

One thing I cant agree with is the claim of superior QC. I had to RMA one due to faulty pcb - pressing Num Lock would cause all the leds to light up, and had another that came with a fairly sticky key (m). Not going back to any other switches though, but i dont think there is any particular care given to them during manufacturing.
