Thank you for sharing the [2] link - I think that's what I'm looking for. I read through the 'big' ideas (like how the keypress matrix works, etc) but I wasn't clear on why there's like 3-6 other ICs / components in the ErgoDox too - stuff like "Why is this resistor here?".

I was thinking of trying to make a keyboard that used a much cheaper CPU (like one of those $1-2 ones from China, or the Pico Pi) and realized that if I swap out that out that I'd have no idea where to put resistors, or why :)

I'm definitely going to look through your stuff too - a 3 key keyboard might be a much easier way to start, actually :)
By default, flights are optimized for cost.

Decades ago, before all of the routes and scheduling got to be more of a mesh than an ideal hub-and-spoke, this was an absolute. But now, being late can cost far more money than what would be spent in fuel.

Now, very often the airlines would rather burn some fuel and keep a plane on time than delay or cancel a dozen connecting flights at the destination.
Nice little pop up with that clay figure -- actually clicked 'Yes' for once
> end-to-end encryption which is something RCS doesn’t do according to this article

The article is not quite correct. The base RCS standard does not include E2E encryption, but at least Google's implementation includes it as an extension. Not an ideal situation -- IMO it should be a required-to-implement part of the base -- but it's definitely there for those of us using Google's infra, at least.
Does anyone know when to choose http2 vs websockets?
But, getting back to the OP's point: water treatment in the USA varies dramatically between municipalities. Some use Chlorine, but others use different processes, be it chemical or filtration, to clean water.

Older water infrastructure can't support chloramine, a replacement for chlorine, because it causes water to leech metals used in pipes. So older infrastructure in poor neighborhoods still use chlorine, but older, wealthy places might use nice filters and no chemicals.

It varies a lot, even with houses separated by a few miles.
Because the amount of software is increasing?

If last decade only seasoned professional bakers baked bread, average bread quality would be amazing.

If this decade, _everyone wants to bake bread_, average bread quality would be pretty bad.
There's no obligation for websites to support old browsers. NB: this appears to be some volunteering platform. It is probably maintained by volunteers. These volunteers should not have to step up and fill in for incompetence on the part of two of the most profitable companies in human history.
I think the intelligence work referred here is not within the scope of war as defined in war criminal.

But it could be collaborator to foreign intelligence, or agent for foreign intelligence, which already is punishable. Now the knowingly or unknowingly factor is important usually is qualifying these crimes.
Yes, but it does suggest that converting any given market doesn't require there to be a singular combined app. I think it might not have been a terrible idea, but probably not a terrible idea.
World really needs a ban on PoW cryptocurrencies. I guess on one side lot of people is not caring about it as long as they make some money of it, and in the other side maybe other people in power, is not caring as that would make a perfect excuse to ban any kind of cryptocurrency. I guess too we all will care as soon as the devastation caused by the climate change becomes a massive life threatening issue.
Why blow the interesting stuff on generic targets
They are as deterministic and repeatable as any lock file from any tool that has lock files (npm, poetry, pipenv, cargo, ...). They just don't offer a way to generate that manifest (which is a lock file) correctly automatically, instead you have to do that dependency resolution yourself.

Is that reasonable? I certainly don't think so. This sheds light on why log4j is such a large-scale issue.
I read this and was left wondering if this might be making the case for working on site as compared to remote work.

However as I think about it some more, it seem like there is no reason we can't hangout and have free form discussions over a video call except that I rarely it happen.

Are there folks who have experienced these kinds of discussions over remote hangouts
Take someone who wants to work in software, watch as they learn little about creating software while getting a compsci degree. Tech companies for decades have refused to fund education yet play CS trivia in hiring.

There's a reason the system is setup this way. It's not an accident, it's intentionally designed to take kids that follow orders, load them with debt and make them work for less - this is how they are able to suppress workers banding together and save big money on salaries. Those that are actually indespensible get the big pay and certainly won't complain.

If we want quality we have to start making the companies pay their share, be willing to remove worker and education visas, and overall lock U.S. companies into the north american and European market. These corporate giants are misbehaving children that we have to put our foot down with.

Follow the money.
You need some road capacity for ambulances and Deliveroo.
I agree.

However, as I've become more wealthy, I think of it as a (happily paid) extortion tax. _Fight Club_ taught me that the service class can anonymously hurt me. I strive to be overly polite and non-demanding, and tip 20%+ to be the good customer and avoid any vengeance.

I'm not cynical about much in life, but with tipping, I view it as cheap insurance.

Another commend focused on the difference between median wages and waitstaff wages - in my mind I tip more not because they make less, but because I have more discretionary income.
The Cyberiad is delightful, but it's much more a palate cleanser than deep/hard sci-fi. It's still one of the funniest books in sci-fi, especially in how well it has been translated to English preserving many poems and puns across the translation. But it sounds like you may want a palate cleanser right about now and I recall The Cyberiad is a great book to do that.
You still need to present ID to get through security, so they'll still know who got on the plane.
Agreed. And the dangers of over regulating information exposure are pretty severe. The whole point of free and open society is to avoid over reliance on a central authority and allow for emergent authority. Having a DoD regulatory program determining what is and isn’t information warfare seems infinitely worse than targeted advertising.

One little talked about counter strategy is just giving those same people targeted ads with better information. If you need to prevent certain messages from reaching certain people entirely and can’t counter them maybe that means they have some validity that needs to be addressed to make counter messaging viable. Jumping straight to regulation rather than a change in counter messaging is a huge red flag that reflects poorly on the level of humility and need for introspection I think is needed to prevent these kinds of problems without making things worse.

>It's about trump and congresspeople inside the building trying to reject the vote certification by using the anger of the people outside as justification. And yes, there's a plausible way GOP could have seized power.

According to that logic, does any sort of protest outside the capitol = "coup attempt"? After all, you don't need to actually need people breaking in to cite "anger of the people outside".
Your definition doesn't really matter... it is defined in criminal code https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title18/par...

The term "domestic terrorism" means activities that—

(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;

(B) appear to be intended—

(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or

(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and

(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States
I recently went through the ClickUp onboarding and clicked skip on all the onboarding tutorials that popped up. After avoiding them, they hit me with an incentive of $10 towards my subscription, so I did land up watching them. So I guess it worked.
I don't like nazi references, but this is not really going against Roger Stone's reference to the FBI being "Biden's personal gestapo".
Anything I can say is purely hypothetical. Because we have no left-libertarian societies to study.

But I'd like to believe that people would make stuff for use by people. People need to move? Cool. What's a good strategy? Isn't necessarily cars and roads. We'd probably have better land use policy and mass transit to optimize for moving people around.

Also, the engrained corporatist rhetoric is that every belief to the left of Grover Norquist is against capitalism, markets, competition, profits, and Freedom Markets™ in general. Nope. Not true. We love that stuff.

Corporatists (monopolists) hate competition, free enterprise, and so forth. All the anti-left screeching is pure projection, kabuki for the news cameras.

I've looked into if there are any sunlight simulators available, but my Google-fu has been lacking. Even if I had a tool that told me "on this date and time, at your location, a 1 meter tall stick casts a shadow _x_ meters in length in _y_ direction", that would be workable.

That's the part I was referring to. Anyone can provide footage from their cameras if they want.
> so it lacks many of the features you would want from a modern messaging service, like end-to-end encryption

This bit annoyed me; while the base RCS spec does not include E2E encryption, Google implements it as an extension. Now, I don't know how their implementation works (is it the Signal protocol? is it some homegrown thing? haven't looked into this), and it absolutely should be in the base RCS spec as something that's required to implement, but saying it lacks E2E encryption is not quite correct.

I believe it's fragmented by country too.

Despite living in the US, I actually don't know what's dominant here...is it iMessage? WhatsApp?

Korea is dominated by KakaoTalk. I believe Japan is Line. China I believe has their own walled garden app ecosystems (WeChat & co.?)

Judging from what all my European friends use, WhatsApp dominates at least the UK and Western Europe?

SQLite is the most used database engine in the world, so I wouldn't call it niche. In fact, by some estimates, it is probably used more than all other database engines combined.

The only difference is that it is usually run locally (compared to Postgres and your other examples), but something doesn't have to run remotely to be considered running in production :)
The reason for their shotgun approach is because Google is still too academia adjacent. Which is why a cash blow-up like DeepMind that publishes a Nature or a Science paper is the perfect Google company.

In academia, you get kudos for starting something, while there are zero incentives for maintaining something - same at Google with just a tiny bit less hyperbole.

They're stored in a sqlite database on your phone. If you make an unencrypted backup of your device, you can find the db file in the output. The filenames are all mangled, but there's a manifest database at the root of the dump that has a mapping to the source file metadata.

From there, you just need to export the data you want from the messages db. The schema is kind of amazing, but not in a good way.

You don't need to buy a tool - you can write a python/ruby/whatever script.
I don’t know. Sure, the current state of affairs isn’t perfect. But being able to search for any music anywhere in the world (not limited to the physical media you have on you), having it beamed in pristine digital quality (no worn out cassette) to a pair of wireless earbuds (no half bent wires resulting in only the left earbud working) that also block outside noise (so you can actually hear the music) sure is pleasurable to me.
I do not understand this conclusion: "Data on the web will only be "semantic" if that is the default, and with this technique it will be."

Why would it be semantic?
It's also not a good idea that all of your time is related to a codebase or two (i.e. don't put all your professional eggs in one basket). Imagine if those projects go poof or something critical happens. When you're 100% invested you're seen as 100% responsible when the baby management blame game comes. Give me some meetings, give me some non-software soft tasks. If all you do all the time ever is code, good luck changing careers should you ever want to, you're going to have limited other experience.

Also, if your entire job is mopping floors and the floor is dirty, you're going to get shit for any and all dirt on the floor, regardless of how reasonable the expectation is that you could have gotten to the specific mess observed at the specific time. Youre 100% on floors so why didn't you fix this unreasonable request. Meanwhile, if you clean floors half the time and clean windows the other half of the time, you have a valid excuse as to why the floors aren't perfect, at least in some peoples skewed perspectives of expectations. This is why I always advise people have a little split up of their time but not an extreme amount. It gives a clear out to unreasonable expectations. If you wanted the floors so clean I wouldn't do windows half the time, and so on (just be careful not to convince someone it would be a good idea to commit you 100% to a task).

> Last week he makes a very divisive speech, with language like "I will stand here in the breach to fight this battle" -- is he throwing down fighting words to incite people?

After Congress was attacked to try to overturn an election, I think "battle" isn't the wrong word.

> Last week he makes a very divisive speech

It divides people who want to overturn elections from those who don't, I guess. That doesn't seem like a bad thing.

Call it whataboutism, but his predecessor's speeches were much more divisive, and for worse reasons.

Here's a quote from him before the capitol attack [1]:

> “Republicans are constantly fighting like a boxer with his hands tied behind his back. It’s like a boxer. And we want to be so nice. We want to be so respectful of everybody, including bad people. And we’re going to have to fight much harder. …

> “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

To summarise: Fight, but don't be violent. Go to the capitol, cheer, but actually don't, and definitely don't be weak. We're getting hit and we're so nice [nothing else said, but that's definitely implied to be a bad thing].

I wouldn't do it differently if I wanted to incite violence while keeping a way of pretending I didn't in court.

Right, but the presidential branch doesn't do investigations, or congressional hearings, or have the subpoena power that the congressional branch does (like we're seeing in the Jan 6th committee). They have a lot of investigatory power. They can release documents and emails. They can swear in testimony. They can hold you in contempt.
That picture is misleading. It doesn't show that the 6500 has >2x the clock speed and lower power requirements.

Military sense is a general term. A homeowner can use military sense in setting up his home security for instance. Intelligence and nation state level security organizations can also have military sense.

This is literal conspiracy theory drivel. When you get older you realize most rich people are insanely smart, the average person has a very poor aptitude for recognizing exceptional people and that the entire world is made up of independent entities all working for their own ends — nobody is in control and nobody has enough power to ensure their own existence beyond next week. Also, so-called billionaires could spend everything they have building a few bridges. They aren’t really as rich as people like to think.
1. Cops in the US have a lot more than pistols. Assault rifles, flash bangs, tear gas, not quite tanks, f'ing helicopter gunships.

2. Live fire was way more than these guys bargained for. If they heard gunshots, even just pistol fire, and saw bodies dropping they would have scattered.
FBI et all use real terrorists as informants to generate plots then claim they stopped them, all the while those informants get off scott free and without accountability. Something like 97% of domestic terror plots adhere to this modus operandi. But its ok, just like censorship, dumbely assume its good because it will only go after those evil others... until the day you realize oops it goes after everyone but now its too late.

Search for a 6-key handwired tutorial, like this one: https://medium.com/cracked-the-code/a-complete-guide-to-buil...

The only parts you need are switches, wires, diodes, and a Pro Micro clone from eBay.

I recommend 6-key because they are supported out of the box by QMK and there are plenty of tutorials.

It looks like the tutorial I linked to above doesn’t actually explain how the matrix / diodes work, so you’ll want to google for an explainer.

That is false. As you get older your pace of work slows but its because much fewer motions are wasted. A good engineer should be like a strong swimmer with no wasted or frantic effort. Smooth, controlled, powerful. In large orgs or complex domains this can really only be accomplished with experience.
Apple killed group SMS?

One of the group chats my wife uses for work is all SMS users except for her.

Or am I misreading your comment?
What was posted by the official Android account ("Message should not benefit from bullying. Texting should bring us together, and the solution exists. Let’s fix this as one industry."), and the opinion of the article's author ("Google took to Twitter this weekend to complain that iMessage is just too darn influential with today's kids") bare no relation.

The author clearly doesn't like RCS, which is an opinion he's entitled to.. but Google's approach to try and get multiple vendors to adopt an open standard (RCS), instead of creating a walled garden seems like the better path.
To some extent, this is the very point of having these charges. They relieve congestion on scarce resources by ensuring the only people using it are the people who want it really badly and are willing to pay, in either time, money, or inconvenience.

The only bad part here is that YouTube's days are numbered. The other stuff doesn't matter. I suspect that worldwide iMessage and whatever Google is pushing on a given day is a rounding error.
