That note is misleading.
I am not associated with that company, but the nomatic (original) backpack completely transformed my travel experience to something hassle free - I got it years back right in the aftermath of their kickstarter campaign.
I honestly don't care if my machine miscalculates, I don't run any important workloads. All content is in some cloud, all code is on github, all configuration is on github and by definition everything is hashed and stored in multiple locations.

EDIT: miscalculates as rarely as a computer normally does
Indeed that's what I'm thinking about where the curtains are open most of the day but the net screens are always closed.

It is still a decently common practice in a lot of European countries.

Other option would be to use rolling window shutters on the outside.
My experience in firms is that managers tend to create more managers and large firms buy up all the successful little ones. This leads me to believe that the final form of the economy will be a single worker surrounded by a few hundred million managers, who themselves have a series of managers. So on and so forth.
Laundry is one of the biggest hassles of travel, IMHO. Hotels charge extortionate prices to launder your clothes. Many cities don't have self-service laundromats, and even if they do, you don't feel like wasting two hours using one. I personally do not like washing things in my room, but if you do, there you go.

What I've found, though, is that it's easy and cheap to get someone else to do it for you. In Sydney, I got a laundry place to do my clothes for AUS 15. In Chicago, a lot of dry cleaning places will also do your laundry for you, at reasonable prices. That's probably true in any city.

Less obviously: in Rosh Pinna (Israel), there weren't any of either type of place, but my B&B had a cleaning staff person who took the clothes home with her and washed them, using whatever method she uses on her family's clothes.
Huh? It's a hobby and form of transit. What's there not to understand? In most places, including the majority of the USA the right to use bikes on the road is the law.

Even though it's not the norm, they're entitled to use the road, just like a car. It helps keep you healthy, and you feel the fresh air and world wiz by you. Somewhat like a motorbike. Interestingly, I harbor some of the same sentiments regarding motorbikes, as you do for bicycles.

I have to admit this is hypocritical, and maybe a bit bigoted (though I'm not a cyclist). I guess you could say it's green, but I think that argument could be made for motorbikes too. Anyway, I don't think I'd hold another driver responsible for causing an injury/death either way, unless it was a really horrible error, and/or that type of event was likely to harm someone anyway.

I agree about dedicated lanes, but even those can be pretty scary. Would really like to see divided lanes also, when possible.
I didn't think you needed the theorem for that; quantum entanglement behaves very similarly to information theory (specifically, information provenance).
For printing strings, there is more than one way to do it in Python; differently readable for.

print("""It turns out that {} has {} kids named {}""".format(
TV[family]['lead'],
len(TV[family]['kids'],
', '.join(*[kid.name for kid in TV[family]['kids']]*)
)

It doesn't use the nifty f string formatter, but the English sentence part is a bit easier to read.
I don't play video games, so I have no opinion of them. I actually do play Kerbal Space Program, though I think that it is a few hundred megabytes, certainly not even a single gigabyte.

The TSA can and does confiscate anything they want. If you happen to get the wrong agent on the wrong day, they may still choose to confiscate a technically compliant multitool.
Also, the spec notes there is an entropy trade off in using more bits for the time stamp. More timestamp bits is fewer random bits, because ULIDs constrained themselves to a combined total 128 bits (to match GUID/UUID width).
bias is taken seriously and compensated for, hence ML Fairness. it's applied bias to counterbalance prior bias.
This glosses over the historical context of the Iranian revolution. Iran's leftist, democratically-elected prime minister (who nationalized the oil fields in 1951 that were originally taken by British Petroleum) was overthrown for a West-backed dictatorship in Iran in 1953 that lead to the mass killings of leftists and pro-democracy advocates. The 1979 revolution led to the restoration of elections.

>There were specific required classes that I didn't like, but they weren't useless.

Sure, course is never 100% useless, but when in one course you can learn "10 things" and on this one you can learn "1 thing" and have to spend similar amount of time on them meanwhile you're working full time, studying on weekends and trying to learn other things for your job/career, then things are tricky and you gotta pick - you put effort into some classes that aren't really efficent or maybe some OSS side project?
On the contrary, it's worked well in the past and it's also working right now. What's the problem supposed to be?
> Qt doesn't really compare with what can be done with a good UX/UI dev on the team

Those are orthogonal. UI/UX is platform-agnostic - if you're only developing Electron UIs, you're not actually good at UI/UX.

> in much less time

Are you telling me that an Electron developer will be able to implement a system significantly faster than an equally-experienced Qt developer?

> there are far more front-end devs than Qt experts

You don't need to be an "expert" to use Qt - it has a relatively simple API for simple use-cases - it's not rocket science or distributed computing.
I went the other route: I used to be minimalist, now I even bring my kettlebells, game pads and different pairs of shoes on my business trips.

Even in the moutain, I now have a heavier bag. E.G: my latest knife is way bigger, sturdier and so weights a lot more, I also have a smaller one as a backup now.

Being minimalist is not an end goal, it serves a purpose. E.G: to make your life simpler, easier, to help with focus, or to go green.

But I feel like people are more and more travelling light for virtue signaling at this point. You cannot just travel light. Everybody must know you do.
Well deserved. Signed up to give it a try. Very cool so far! I had no idea the level of engagement I was getting.

> I don't condone it but some people are gonna text while driving.

People used to rail against wearing a seat belt too, and even now many people see driving with a couple of beers below the belt as totally fine when [insert excuse]. This is a behavioural issue that will be sorted in due time. Media attention like this helps. There is just no excuse for texting or otherwise fooling around with a smartphone when you are behind the wheel. If you need to do something with it, you pull over in a (legal) safe place.
Yeah, it's a ridiculous take because the specialized things you have in a nice onebag setup are not going to be easy to find in a random store. Just replacing the backpack itself is going to be a major issue if you are outside of the United States.

This is a frustrating situation for each party. Clearly, the move for Uber (PR and goodwill) is to eat the cost and still pay the driver.

I'm curious, would any type of travel insurance cover such an expense?
One of the best analog engineers I worked with was not an actual electrical engineer in title. He was a technician without a degree of any sort that worked on electronics projects at home for fun. He’d often be frustrated at the solution the actual electrical engineers gave him to implement and test and would fix the design. Sure, he couldn’t program an FPGA or write DSP code, but he had a solid grasp of analog design that a lot of electrical engineers lack.
Another thing to keep in mind is that “one” procedure often involves multiple CPT codes. Sometimes the CPT codes change during the procedure, based on what the surgeon finds. The hospital should be able to give you an estimate of the cost. Ask your surgeon to help if you are having problems getting information.

Consumer reports vehicle recommendations and sales process is just an affiliate scam like wire cutter. Same with Costco's vehicle sales program now. I think they use the same back end. That basically is an affiliate program. They give your contact info to tons of dealers who call you with prices higher than what they have on their lots listed.
>I'd call plumbing a craft, same with auto mechanic.

The point is that the plumber himself wouldn't call himself a craftsman. He doesn't label himself as some sort of artist and prance around like an arrogant prick thinking he's better than those janitorial engineers who are complete hacks.

>Different thing from being a hobbyist.

Yeha nobody does plumbing as a hobby. I'll give you that. I think you're more referring to "Computer science" here which is a bit different.
You are very adverse to the “war criminal” label. I guess that’s too disrespectful for your tastes. (We must, above all else, respect the “players” of the “politicking”.)

Reading comments by students of polsci (amateur or pro) either makes me fall asleep—oh the regergutation of supposed “ideals” and bromides and empty platitudes—or makes me shake my head in disgust. They must have ascended to a Platonic Plane where they are unperturbed by the implications of what they say.
> You've taken a perfectly legitimate requirement in modern computing environments: The need to secure against attacks end to end, from the software you're running, through the entire ecosystem, even to the supply chain, and extending it to something nefarious.

If the way to achieve end to end security is by giving full control to someone else then I don't think that's worth it.

It is a catastrophe if people end up losing control of their systems like they have with phones and consoles.
Internet shut down in Kazakhstan amid unrest
The 'elites are harvesting children's adrenal glands to extend their lifespans' story is of course absurd and over the top, but I think we recognise it on a mythological level as a useful metaphor for our times. Probably why we frame covid measures as a decision of harming the very young or the very old.

An entertaining (if not extreme) take on this general topic is the “Vagrant Holiday” series of videos.

I appreciate his dedication to ultra minimalist travelling without any of the hype that is usually involved. Nothing about expensive gear, just actually not needing much.

"Pour assurer la fiabilité de la preuve soumise via un dispositif de vidéosurveillance, la qualité de l’image s’avère également déterminante ; plus précisément, elle doit comporter 704 x 576 pixels de résolution au moins et une cadence de 12 images par seconde et plus. L’installation d’un tel système doit être justifiée par un besoin de sécurité ou de protection (personnes, biens, locaux, mesure d’anti-terrorisme). Dans le domaine privé, les personnes concernées doivent en être avisées et vous devez déclarer le dispositif à la CNIL."

"dans le domaine privé" could mean "by private party" or "on private properties", and since IANAL, I don't know which one. The first one would match my understanding, the second would mean the public street would be ok.
For a very long time I've held a theory that the general pandemonium due to the mischaracterization of the media regarding the danger of the virus to the average person resulted in substantially more voluntary hospital admissions than would have otherwise occurred, thus reducing availability for those who actually needed to be hospitalized, thus increasing deaths.

I, and nearly every colleague in the downtown San Francisco office I worked at, contracted Covid in early January 2020. There should be no doubt that there was already widespread community transmission in California in late 2019. Yet, strangely, "hospital capacity" did not become a concern until right after the U.S. declared a nationwide state of emergency in March.

Why was it not a problem in the nearly 4 months prior? I believe many people were convinced that the virus was far more dangerous than it was, and voluntarily began seeking hospitalization when none was actually needed.
> AMD is refreshing it’s mobile processor lineup with the launch of new chips including high-power models aimed at high-performance gaming laptops and mobile workstations and more energy-efficient chips designed for thin and light laptops.

Is it just me or did “mobile” get redefined while I wasn’t looking? To me, a mobile device is a phone. This seems to imply that a mobile device is anything that isn’t a desktop. Above quote from another site btw.
Yes, KeePassXC actually has a little UI element in the lower right of the window that shows when it will clear a copied password out of the clipboard history.
> If you want to see someone debug something, and you make them run their code

I hear what you’re saying, but that doesn’t assess what I want to assess. We all have experience debugging our own code, that we just wrote. But how well can you read someone else’s code? How well can you find and fix bugs in it? It’s a different skill! And it’s vital in a team setting. Or when you’re depending on complex 3rd party packages (which is most of the time).

I want coworkers who can read the code I write and debug it when it breaks. That’s a much more useful skill than what leetcode problems train.

„Why don't they just buy electric cars?”
The sibling posters have covered it, but the stop-and-go phone driver already has greatly reduced situational awareness because they missed out on the 3-5 seconds of events before the light turns green.

When I'm stopped at a light, I will check my rear view and side mirrors just for any cyclists, motorcyclists splitting lanes, or even for distracted drivers who might rear end me. I may pull forward a few extra inches to let the occasional car behind me make their right turn. Drivers focused on their phones can't extend this courtesy.

Compressive shapes and good concrete.

You start talking about rebar and other complexities when you want a shape that puts concrete in tension (where it's very weak), instead of compression.

Basically - lots of domes and arches.
My sister was a hostess for an upscale restaurant and had a gun pulled on her because she asked someone to wear a mask. The worst part, instead of calling the cops or asking them to leave, her managers still had her seat the party. She doesn't work there anymore.
Normal and routine aren't quite the same thing.

My friends and I may lick doorknobs 3 times per week, but others would be hard pressed to describe it as "normal". Though perhaps within the context of our custom, and from our point of view, it is.

P.S. I don't actually lick doorknobs.

Sounds interesting. What's a use case for this?
I mean, this is assuming the living standards (how many people to one house) has remained the same. That also has changed.
What happened is Unicode committed forever to a range zero to U+10FFFF and RFC 3629 follows that. You don't need 5 or 6 byte UTF-8 to express this range, and so they're forbidden.

So RFC 3629 isn't choosing arbitrarily, the choice in MySQL isn't entirely arbitrary either, it's just wrong (and should not have been named "utf8").

You could use the 3-byte UTF-8-like encoding MySQL has to do CESU-8 but that's not UTF-8. If MySQL wanted to do CESU-8 they could have called the type cesu8, giving away what's actually going on and necessitating a lot of extra work by MySQL. They did not choose to do that.

Proxy polyfill: assuming you are referring to this [0], since I haven't seen anything else like this, then I'll paste here what the readme says:

> The polyfill supports just a limited number of proxy 'traps'. It also works by calling seal on the object passed to Proxy. This means that the properties you want to proxy must be known at creation time.

i.e. that's not a polyfill for Proxy. It's a polyfill for a subset of the thing, maybe that's useful for somebody, but it's useless for the use cases I had for Proxy so far.

Shipping an entire regex engine with your app: right, that's the only way to do something like that. Not that that's actually the same thing though, I can't just load this and use lookarounds as normal, i.e. it's not a polyfill.

For all practical purposes these features are not polyfillable. If your idea of a polyfill includes not actually polyfilling the entire thing or shipping an entire engine with your app then sure, anything is polyfillable, you could even run Java in the browser.

Metaclasses / __init_subclass__ are generally only used if you try to define different / new behavior for how the body of a class is interpreted. So if you'd want to create e.g. an explicit interface system in Python, you might use them. If you're creating an ORM or some other kind of declarative property system, you might use them (but not necessarily, as descriptors are a thing). I think the only use in the standard library is in ABCs and probably the typing module.

Edit: Enums use them as well (makes sense).
Hell even Swing had good layouts decades before CSS caught up with things.

WPF has amazing layouts.

CSS is irritating as hell. Even modern CSS, justify-content, justify-items, seriously?

Flex has so many weird edge cases it is overwhelming. I have used flex type systems in other frameworks that worked 10x better, while Flexbox is way better than what existed before on the web, it is still and endless source of frustration.

And yes, Winforms is 100x more productive than HTML. Awhile back I designed a fully functioning UI in Winforms to get an idea what I wanted my website to look like. I hadn't used Winforms in years. Took me less than a day to get a UI up and running with data binding to my backend and all the features implemented.

TWO MONTHS of web dev later I had the same thing working in a browser.

Now the browser was styled, and responsive, sure. But 2 months vs 6 hours. The loss of productivity there is insane.
It's used very sparingly in the wild, for cases where you need a bunch of classes that are set up similarly, and ordinary subclassing still results in too much boilerplate.

For example... you might make a class for each HTML tag in an HTML processor, or each drawing command in an SVG processor. My experience is that it's not hard to debug, because all that you're doing is getting rid of some boilerplate.

Ages ago, I started remodeling while my Belgian coworker (working from Belgian) started his new home construction. My house in the USA Pacific Northwest is timber framed with tar shingle roof. Coworker's house, IIRC, was block walls and ceramic roof. My house so temporary, their house built for the centuries. A real home.

In North America, I now find the homesteading and packed earth style homes most compelling. Basically, latest tech Arcosanti. (But with better finances.)

While searching yesterday, I recall the mysql documentation did specify this this quirk.

As I gather, this change happened prior to or at the change to 4 char max utf; was supplemental plane support required at that time? 3 char is still utf8, just not fully supported, but I really do not know.

Not to defend, just saying things were new and fluid back then, though it should have been fixed properly alot sooner.
I have the 20th anniversary edition. It quotes the debunked magazine article directly:
"In inner cities, some buildings are beautiful and clean, while others are rotting hulks. Why? Researchers in the field of crime and urban decay discovered a fascinating trigger mechanism, one that very quickly turns a clean, intact, inhabited building into a smashed and abandoned derelict.[5]"

Citation 5 is an article from the Atlantic from March 1982 https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/03/broken-...

Nobody thought to fix that for the 2019 edition?
