With a Wemos D1 mini (ESP8266) MCU that costs around USD 2.00, you can pretty easily make the Vindriktning WiFi connected and get the data to a backend [1].

You just need to solder three wires, and there is enough space within the enclosure to fit the D1 mini inside.

This would then allow you to get the exact measurements and to better understand if the "green" is more on the lower end or the higher side.

> and put their neighbors or of business

People aren't obligated to shop anywhere, and it isn't their fault if their neighbours' businesses aren't viable. You can't say the customers who have nothing to do with your business and no desire to go there are the ones who 'put you out of business'.
There’s no practical difference between jq doing it or shell builtins. Either way it is a piped process.

Murex could ship it’s coreutils as external executables like GNU but that wouldn’t be a particular efficient way of doing it. Whereas Bash, zsh, Fish etc all have builtins just the same as murex (eg if/endif, for, switch, read, echo, time, jobs, etc).

The only difference between murex and bash in that regard is that murex builtins can do more intelligent data parsing than just dumb byte streams. Of course if you wanted to use jq with murex you still can. Just as you can still use sed, awq, Perl -pie and others too.
The key is knowing enough about the technology to know that none of that works. IPFS doesn’t solve the storage or bandwidth problems people use YouTube to avoid, so you’re still going to need to pay for hosting, which could be done cheaper without the blockchain overhead.

Similarly, an NFT doesn’t prevent everyone from accessing it so you can’t force people to pay for the cost of their access and it doesn’t protect your ownership — that’s done by copyright laws enforced by the government.

The only thing a blockchain is adding is the chance for people who sell blockchains to make money while distracting you from the real problems you’ll need to deal with either way.
I would highly recommend that the author look into continuation-passing-style - the general construction they discover in their blog just seems to be a reinvention of the pretty old observation that we can make any program tail-call recursive if we write it in a CPS form. In fact, in languages like OCaml, it's fairly common to do this transformation to avoid stack overflow (typically paired with a Monad), especially when compiling to JS. The requirement of generators isn't actually needed - you just need first class functions - although, generators and coroutines do allow expressing the code in a slightly more concise way.
I have the same fear. It's very daunting. It's not that I don't know how to set up an email server, it's that I know just enough to be dangerous, but not enough to be reliable.

There's so much nuance and it's easy to let things lapse, or make a small mistake and silently get all your mail rejected, lose/corrupt a bunch of data, etc.
I’d suggest investigating single core performance. If you have the money, buy an i9-12900K (slightly faster single-core than M1 but much hotter) and do some testing on that. If my theory is correct, performance will be even better.
Can you give a summary of what the "endmyopia" process is?

I don’t think any amount of historical or present-state analysis will shed light on next week’s patch.

comptime is hard to grasp from that blurb. for c programmers, here's a good example:

you know how gcc will usually optimize `memcpy(dest, src, strlen("hello"))` to just `memcpy(dest, src, 5)` -- because it knows how strlen works, and in this case all the inputs are known at compile time?

well, in zig, if a function is pure and all of its inputs are known at compile time, the compiler will always run the function at compile time and replace the function call with the result. you can also add the keyword `comptime` to force this behavior on a per-statement basis.

so comptime gives you conditional compilation and also results in more optimized code. coupled with zig's import system, this eliminates the need for a preprocessor. perhaps more interestingly: even types can be comptimed... which gives you generics 'for free'.

I had phototherapeutic keratectomy in both eyes (about a year apart) that basically cured my recurrent corneal erosion. I sleep in extended wear contact lenses most nights which help protect the cornea. I also have quite severe myopia so this is also convenient for when I wake up, using the toilet, wanting to know the time, reading the message that just arrived, etc. Then I just need some eye drops in the morning. I use eye ointment at night when I'm not wearing them.

OP was trying to monetize. Now I see you are trying to monetize. This is a cultural issue of greedy pigs who think they don't need to work hard.
Private contracted armies already exist. Weapons manufacturers are publicly traded and I'm sure could buy out all the PMCs when the timing is favorable. So yeah, maybe one day we will see a global giant security corp.

I really don't need to think of this.
excellent compilation speed is one of the main goals of the self-hosted compiler, which is what is being developed right now, so it makes total sense to track related metrics
I had similar problems.

Eye drops in my case didn't help, it mostly
was caused due to producing to little tears at
night when I sleep, I can't put eye drops in
when I sleep.

But there where some things which did help:

- eating/drinking healthy, while unclear it seems my tear under production was partially linked to a unhealthy diet

- eye hygiene helped a bit not much

- Making sure air humidity is at a good level during winter times helped too.

- And while it sounds ridiculous: Getting used to carefully open the eyes when waking up, like very very carefully. That probably helped better then all the other effects combined as most damage seems to have happened when opening the eyes when waking up.

> this ideia of poison alcohol was propaganda done by the government during prohibition

imagine believing propaganda about propaganda.

congrats, man, you've come full-circle. methanol poisoning is very real, and methanol is definitely present in the "heads" of distillations (speaking as someone who's done this), and since there isn't a clear delineation between what is the "head" and what is the "body", it's entirely too easy (especially if you don't want to waste any of the good stuff) to accidentally include too much methanol in your distillation... which is exactly why alcohol is regulated

I think being low-cost is very important, otherwise I wouldn't consider it. I don't live near a major road, but in a small city. I don't think the air-quality is bad, but I also don't know for sure. I would not invest a significant amount of money (more than 10-15€).
More free for developers, not users. MIT code can be used in a closed source system a lot easier than a GPL one can. Developers love to talk about the freedoms they have with licenses, while ignoring that the whole point of the GPL family is disregarding that in favor of the user's rights.

Retailers of all sizes can do those things. But go ahead, start an e-commerce business, and implement those things without Amazon or Shopify. Have a couple of good quarters, dish out for some marketing to speed up your growth. Then, watch the look-alike product appear on Amazon at a price 15% below your unit costs, because they do everything on the list more efficiently, didn't have to ramp up processes or prove their market, and are still on the part of the growth curve where Amazon supplies them at cost. Survive until the holidays and bulk up your inventory for black friday spending, then get swamped in chargebacks because your Amazon-platformed competition undercut your prices with a bundle deal including stuff you don't sell. Cheer up though -- if your product is really great, you'll get to see that competitor displaced by an Amazon Basics brand a few weeks later. America's rich customers and friendly government were not for you.

It's not going to make any sense if you ask the question now, ask it in 1990. CIDR didn't start until '93 and when they made the request in '90 they had a reasonable case a /16 would be too small (remember, classful networking times). The WWW hadn't even been invented at CERN yet and hardly anybody was using IP still even inside the networking space, what else was going to be done with IP space if not to assign it?

As for why they still own it places like Amazon which hoover up large deaths of space like this must not have made interesting enough offers yet. GE sold 3/8 that way in 2018 for example.
UFO Alert Realtime data feed about in progress UAP sightings
Call for open source developers and collaborators with an interest in UAP. The "Contact Project" is a proposal to contact UFOs/UAPs by Radio.

UFO Alert! is a UAP real time reporting tool from the Contact Project. On Github its found under https://github.com/contactproject.

Every user who downloads the app will be a “Search partner”. Search partners can be anyone with a smartphone, radio operators, videographers, gigapixel camera operators, Unistellar and other smart telescope operators and (passive) radar operators. Search partners are also any UAP sky scan network, such as the Galileo Project.

UFO Alert! Flowchart: https://contactproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/UFO-AP...

The “UFO ALERT!” app has two modes of operation: ALERT and CONTACT.

App users that report a sighting shall be called Alerters.

HAM radio and other operators that are sent the coordinates of the UFO shall be called Contacters.
The Contact Project & Initiative recently welcomed its first honorary member, Avi Loeb.

Nope, just nope. Ikea: purveyors of chemical-laden flat packs and cheap, unrepairable items that don't last. PMS5003 modules are much better (PM1, 2.5, and 10) and only cost $20. PM1 and 2.5 are far more damaging to health than PM10.
>it's that when you accept volunteers, you get people self-selecting and that's way worse.

I’m not sure this is true. There’s a reason commanders generally oppose the draft; they know volunteers tend to be better service members than draftees. Imagine if your civilian job was full of people who were conscripted rather than chose that field (even if they chose it for the wrong reasons). I can imagine the amount of disciplinary problems would rise dramatically. I don’t know the statistics, but draft-era service members seemed to have serious problems from drug abuse to fratricide too.
I have a blue light filter on my glasses since ~3-4 years now, because an optician suggested it last time I fixed my glasses. I can affirm it has absolutely no effect on eye strain.

What actually works for me:

- be sure to have correct lenses for your glasses, sometime checking with an optician isn't enough and an ophthalmologist (i.e: a doctor) is required

- setup good lighting in your office/work area

- reduce display backlight during the day, when the daylight reduces

- do not set your display in front of a window, try to have it perpendicular instead. The contre-jour effect can be really tiring over time (i.e: when you're facing both the light source of your display and daylight)
Alan Turing was also a biologist. John von Neumann was deeply interested in biology. The fields have always been deeply connected as both ultimately study information processes.
> because the economy is trash?

But the economy isn't trash - unemployment has plummeted and is now back to 2018 levels, which were already historic lows. Income is up. It's an employee's market.
The free market is the reason the USA is the richest country in history and has far outpaced the wealth gains of Western Europe who early on was resistant to free markets because of aristocratic feudalism (right wing) and later became resistant to them because of socialist ideas (left wing).

On both sides of history, the USA has so far remained in the center in both eras and that has helped us grow immensely faster than them such that today the USA is wealthier than all of Europe combined despite having half the population and natural resources.

Even Communist china learned the hard way that free markets are the only way to prosperity and after they adopted Deng's free market reforms in the 1970s, they subsequently pulled 700M+ people out of poverty.

Of course we need some regulation to protect the environment. I never said a 100% regulation-free market is what is needed. What we need is to preserve private property, encourage entrepreneurship and innovation and preserve the incentive of hard-work.
> I think your example would easily satisfy regulators.

That was kind of my point - the example scenario is clearly legitimate. The problem is that if spoofing is defined as submitting an order with no intent for it to execute, then in that scenario, that's exactly what I've done (for one of the orders).

So sure, it's seems clear that I should get a pass for doing it just once. What if I was doing a trade like this every day or tens or thousands of times a day? To the other participants, it looks like I'm flooding the book with orders which 50% of the time just get pulled for no apparent reason. The rule is supposed to protect other participants from being confused by such quotes, no?

Btw, I think it just muddies the waters by bringing up automated trading and the charge of "not having control over your algorithm" which is distinct from the specific charge of order spoofing. Whether the orders are entered manually or by a program does not fundamentally change their 'spoofyness' to other participants.

The fundamental issue I have is there is no quantifiable or clearly stated difference between spoofing and legitimate exposure control. I dislike laws which are so vaguely defined that the only way to remain law-abiding isn't to avoid specific behaviors but to avoid attracting any attention from the authorities.

Well as a conservative he should support the same traditional ingredients that our founding mothers used to defeat the British in a bake off at the battle of Yorktown. Jokes aside, margarine sucks. Even if you don’t worry about the potential health consequences the taste and consistency are not as good as butter.

Actually dedicated bus lines is what works in preventing buses getting stuck in traffic. Not surprisingly, even that does not seem to make buses more popular.

Overall, I think we arguing about competition as a whole being good or bad. I worked at global logistics, and in my experience most of the players, both public and private, are unchangeable rent-seeking dinosaurs. I have 0 issues with amazon eating them up, and when amazon itself becomes an unchangeable rent-seeking dinosaur I hope something else will end it.
i earlier dismissed endmyopia as a pseudoscience given doctors are against it. But it does make sense that eyeballs that have elongated beyond their size and hence caused myopia can also come back to their nature size improving vision as well. Gotta try it for myself though.
They do collect taxes (Prime subscription, cut from sellers), enforce compliance (sellers can't sell cheaper elsewhere), provide infrastructure (own delivery network), and "nationalize" services (start selling common items from Amazon Basics while delisting the originals).

It's always felt weird to be that people in favor of small governments want to let them go rampant.
A little confused:

Are these big "dominant" institutions charging for this data? No, the spend a lot of resources putting them together and give them away free.

Are they preventing others from giving away data? No, but it costs a lot and they bear that cost.

Are they forcing smaller institutions to use their data? No. Its just a free resource they offer.

Do they get the grants themselves because they have some kind of proprietary access? No, the whole point is that the benchmark is open and everyone has access.

So they collect this data, vet it, propose their use for benchmarks and give it away free. What is the complaint? The problem is not even posed as "well, this data is overfitted in papers or we are solving narrower problems". [Edit: they sort of do, but leaving this here so the comment below makes sense as a follow up.]

No the complaint is that these handful of institutions are giving away free data so too many people use it? Can we have more "problems" of this nature?

It's not true that just because a product is open source, it will be of good quality. I don't have enough knowledge to say the following is true or that i'm not just suffering confirmation bias but it does appear to be true that at the extremes, the best quality software delivery processes are from open source projects.

I would shoot holes in my own argument by pointing out specific projects from NASA.

Regarding lost funds, the only way Brave should ever make an automatic contribution when auto-contribute is disabled is if the contribution were queued up prior to disabling auto-contribute. You can check brave://rewards-internals/ (specifically the Contributions and Event Logs tabs) to compare timestamps to see if a contribution was processed after you disabled auto-contribute. Happy to help claw-back any rewards lost to a bug (if that be the case).

I think there's a threshold to how much change one can witness and handle.

At first you're excited about change because the status quo seem clunky to you. You thrive in change as long as you can, and then one day you start questioning if certain changes are necessary or not. And at some point you find yourself rejecting change, holding on to your favorites seem like the sane approach. But what you're holding onto is now clunky and outdated for the new guy and they are really excited to change things. And so the cycle continues.
Which CO2 meter did you get, how accurate is it and how much did it cost? Agreed people just need a meter good enough to tell them when air quality isn’t good.
No helpful content on my part, but I just want to say how much this question speaks to me. I'm a 54 year old statistician/business analyst and have always embraced change and technological improvements. It seems about 6 or 7 years ago things started to shift where many of the tools I used started making interface and functionality shifts with little to no documentation or support. Apps would update overnight, and the way developmental tasks were executed just didn't exist any longer. Then I would just wait till someone on reddit etc, found a solution or where the functionality was buried so that I could move on. I really hate turning into a curmudgeon.
Quite funny they have this act considering they stole a lot of very rare and precious artefacts from India. Maybe they should return those too.

It is actually pretty easy to build a much more accurate air quality sensor with the Plantower PM2.5 module as a base and a Wemos D1 mini as WiFi connected MCU. We have build instructions on our website on how to do it [1] + a nice 3D printable enclosure to pass the spouse-acceptance ;).
