It’s a natural assumption!, and it’s important to address it. Basically the filter material is… almost indistinguishable from magic? It’s a beautifully balanced construction of materials science. From the perspective of gases, the mask is almost transparent. From the perspective of aerosolized particles, the mask is a wall of electrostatic forces and difficult luck rolls. It’s sort of like a wide reef that the tide may pass over but just isn’t traversible by boat; And all boats are steel and the reef is magnetized.

As a statement of technically accurate fact: I wouldn’t have been able to imagine how easy it is to breathe through a 3M Aura 9320+ FFP2 mask. Not before trying one. It’s… magic? –Feels like magic! These ones: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_LB/p/d/v000078838/ – pretty much the same mask as the 9205+ N95: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v101146024/

“Duckbill” type masks are great too, like Kimberly-Clark / Kimtech pouch respirators: https://www.kcprofessional.com/en-us/products/scientific-and... … These might be the most comfortable article of clothing I’ve ever worn? Like really seriously. Very easy to breathe through. No drag or inertia at all. The 3M Aura mask has the edge in breathability though – feels impossibly transparent. I believe it’s due to the material itself. The duckbill type gets its breathability through using more material and a bigger airspace. I’d love to try a duckbill made out of the material in the 3M Aura. (Secret tip: If the duckbill is creased just right it looks more like a Stormtrooper than a duck. The free bread is nice though.)

I’m reading the Wikipedia page on HEPA filters now. Trying to get a better feel for how the material works. Seems like part of how the close-fitting masks can be made so easy to breathe through is that the possible speed of air flowing through is limited. Anywhere in the range of airspeed that we can breathe aerosolized particles in or out, the filter material causes slight turbulence in the atmospheric gas, it flows and eddies around the filter material – the air flows around the material – but the aerosol particles have much more inertia and hit the filter. I actually hadn’t understood or appreciated this aspect before now.
I can't remember getting taught this method in my Dutch Driving lessons (ca 2008), and funnily enough I don't even know with what hand I open the door, I'll have to consciously pay attention next time.

I still remember Win 3.1 as being incredibly fast UI wise (once loaded), a feeling that propagated until around the Win7 era. As soon as this newer, non win32 stuff started happening in Windows, I lost that feeling. I have it again on Linux/Wayland, where native GTK controls are just such a joy to use.

And yeah - even if there was lag or slowness I don't recall, imagine those systems on today's hardware. I recently used a WinXP on fast hardware, and by god was that thing responsive, lean and fast.

I think there is another big issue related to Clean Code (and friends) that is rarely discussed.

There are two types of design methods: those that help you to generate a solution to the problem and those that only help you to optimize a solution, in some dimension, once you have one. Clean Code guidelines clearly belong to the latter.

When you first write code you should not think of Clean Code. It will distract you from solving the problem at hand, while not providing any help in solving it. Only after you have a correct working solution you should consider Clean Code and other optimization guidelines. (Code Complete is much better IMO.)

Knowing when often pays better than knowing how.
A dick move would be to break it. Showing off the device's capabilities in novel an interesting ways should lead to a conversation, not a judgment.

Seriously, I've been on tons of trade shows, both in the booth and as a visitor, I'd have definitely struck up a conversation with the guy to see where and how he learned so much about the device. That also would have all but guaranteed getting my device back in pristine working order and a pointer to some information about it that I apparently had missed.

I know how that feels. I wrote a little c++ program to fetch data in Unicode from a dB and then normalize it to ascii to be used for analytic purposes. A lot faster to do it on ascii than trying to handle all the fun cases of how many ways can an e etc... be input. ICU to the rescue! Took a couple weeks of getting up to speed as ICU itself wasn't too bad to figure out. But, you find out very quickly that to use it, you need to have a good understanding of a number of the Unicode technical reports to actually understand how to make use of it. Fun times indeed.

I'd like to know where from. Actually, I looked it up. It's the "Billion Tonne Plan". It involves "thinning" all US forests, and planting practically every available acre with crops for biofuel. Basically, dedicating all of the available plant matter grown in the US to burning for transportation.

You could, but that's not what this discussion is about so I have no idea why you would bring it up. The device wasn't bricked.

That's a straman of your own making, I will leave the demolition to you.

> If you want to promote portability, then blocks should be web components based, full stop. React-based blocks won't be usable without setting up React on the page.

As it stands we're reluctant to dictate the internal implementation of a block, on the assumption that we can abstract away dealing with different implementations - but I agree that the extra requirements for non-native implementations are a downside. We're also conscious of multiple implementation approaches potentially leading to fragmentation, with React-implemented blocks limited to applications who are happy to ship React, and other variations. It's a tricky balance to strike between freedom for the block author (i.e. can they implement it how they want, or must they use X) and work for the embedding application (how many different flavours of block implementation do they need to deal with - albeit we can provide libraries for this).

> Most reusable components these will have an interface described by a type system - this is how IDEs offer code completion and JSX and other template systems are type-checked.

Right - the components describe their interface, but there's no standardization of the shape of the interface. e.g. the format for Web Components you describe allows components to describe their methods, but the Block Protocol aims to standardize what the methods actually are - so that you don't need to read the API of a component to plug it into your app or understand what the methods do.

I believe the two projects are entirely compatible and complementary: a Web Component could have a thin wrapper around it to convert its methods to the expected name/signature specified by the Block Protocol. But I don't think Web Components as they are, in isolation, meet the aims of the BP.

Thanks for the well reasoned response. There are times when I think hn has become too negative, then a comment like yours pulls me back in.

"if it turned out we were in a simulation, that would almost by definition mean that our universe was intelligently designed (even if the design were merely a one-for-one replica of a non-designed universe). I think that such a scenario is unnerving to many people because it would introduce the possibility that the designer(s) might be able to express agency in the universe, and towards humans individually, in a way that the cold unfeeling laws of physics do not."

Excellent point - one I hadn't considered too deeply. I would also imagine it would challenge the ideas of religious people around the world. "Mine is the one true faith. Therefore my God(s) created the simulation" sort of thing. It would probably bring about completely new religions come to think of it.

Let's hope its not a simulation.
Given a cross product in n dimensions, it's possible to construct a normed division algebra in n+1 dimensions. Hurwitz's theorem says that the only normed division algebras are the reals, complexes, quaternions and octonions. So there can be no cross products outside of 0, 1, 3 and 7 dimensions.

In computing applications, if you want to find a vector perpendicular to two or more vectors outside of 3 and 7 dimensions, you would use the QR decomposition to do it. If on the other hand, you want to generalise the "directed area" properties of the cross product, you would use Exterior Algebra, or its elaborations like Clifford Algebra or the theory of differential forms.
The difficulty is in catastrophe curves. While the water from a single flight doesn't hang around long, there are always aircraft in the sky, so it's constantly getting refreshed and amounts to a constant thermal load. If that additional thermal load, on top of the other greenhouse gases, is enough to tip some nonlinear system past its tipping point, then we've still got a problem.

Fortunately, it's also its own solution: if we find we need to avert a catastrophe next week, grounding all flights today might do the trick. But of course it's very hard to predict a tipping point to that level of accuracy. If we had that sort of movie-plot threat in climate change we might actually see meaningful action.

So yes, while carbon dioxide and methane are terrible, awful, no good gases we shouldn't be dumping into the atmosphere with quite such abandon, choosing to maintain water vapour at a particularly vulnerable point in the system is also something of an unforced error.
No, that only shows that the ISO 3166-2 registry is a bad basis for Unicode flags since having things lose meaning over time should not be acceptable for a text encoding.

Flags have another issue here in that they can change even when the country stays the same - a recent example here being Afghanistan, but also France who recently changed the official shades of the colors in their flag. Ideally you'd want a new Unicode representation for any changed flags in order to not retroactively change the meaning in old documents.
Not in the sense that they are being removed from the school libraries, but that might happen in the future. There are other instances of books being removed from libraries, or removed from the required reading lists, but this isn't one of them.
