At least for me, I like wood working for many of the reasons I like engineering - I like building things! One aspect of wood working I really enjoy is how peaceful it can be, in that it can get you away from your phone and other electronics and requires pretty significant attention/focus at times (e.g., using a saw, chiseling, using a lathe, etc.). It’s also really cool to have something to show for and that is functional when you are done (my first project was an 8 foot picnic table).
> If you do, start thinking critically please

While there are some topics where I agree with both major parties, and many issues where both are near equally bad, I have yet to come across a national policy issue where Republicans are better than Democrats (even if the Democrats' policy is still not great). So yeah, I don't agree with one party 100% of the time, but I will support them 100% of the time over the alternative.

This is a major turn-off IMO. One of the main points of self-hosting is that you don't rely on the outer internet. If a self-hosted service relies on externally hosted resources, does this make it partially self-hosted?
I see no breakdown of incident number by years of experience in your papers.

Newbies are like toddlers, so they will fall more often and will skew the statistic. Nobody says that walking is a dangerous activity, just because toddlers are falling multiple times per day.

Still, cycling is the safest mode of transportation per km, so, if you want to improve safety significantly, convince drivers and pedestrians to wear helmets first. Cyclist will follow.

I'd like to hear from people who develop with a 49 inch monitor. Especially the really curvy one.

I had a 34 inch ultrawide for a while, but eventually got tired of the low resolution. Switched to a 32 inch 4K and I'm pretty happy with it. But it's a bit slow starting up, the refresh rate maxes out at 60Hz, and sometimes I find myself wishing for more space. Partially because I'm getting old and my eyes thank me for scaling up the size of fonts and such, which cuts down on the effective area of the screen.

I've been toying with the idea of getting the Samsung CRG9, but I've no idea if it would be a good choice for primarily software development. A big upside is that it's a single monitor, which will make my M1 MBP happy.
They sure could with a build script that just dumped all those resources into the single PHP file. It looks generated anyway.

SEPA is often heralded as being that convenient but this isn't complete information.

Basically there is a parallel instant SEPA that is only partially implemented in between certain banks in some countries. Cross border SEPA between two SEPA system countries is much more likely to be just as slow as the US ACH system.

So the only way people could possibly believe this works is if they and their friends use the same banks. Which is basically the case, most Europeans don’t even use the SEPA system to another European country compared to using a few big banks in their single tiny country with their friends and local businesses. But if an outsider wanted to do business in the European banking system, wanting to believe the experience Europeans come on forums to talk about, they likely wont be able to experience it.

Expect 3 - 7 business days and some questions for your banking partners who might not know where the transaction currently is.

> The most common pronunciation of “aa”, especially when its not in initial position, seems to be IPA ɑː

> Which is how pretty much everyone in the field pronounces it in “HIPAA”.

Something's gone wrong. People in the field pronounce it /ə/, as in the second syllable of "comma". This is a fairly common pronunciation of "aa", but only as in "Isaac". It doesn't match Aaron, aardvark, baa, aah, argh, waah, bazaar, salaam, or Quaalude.

Your list mostly consists of words that cannot reasonably be said to exist in English. But of the real ones:

START / PALM [ɑ]: ah [spelling variable; attested in the list as 'aah'], argh [spelling variable; attested in the list as 'aargh', 'aarrgh', and 'aarrghh'], bazaar, aardvark, aardwolf. Also salaam, which is a foreign word that is common enough to have a conventional spelling. (So is "niqab", which appears on the list as "niqaab"...)

TRAP [æ]: baa, waah.

FACE [eɪ]: Quaalude, which is a proper noun. Why is it in a list of Scrabble words? Isaac and Aaron aren't there.
I see a lot of blame to the Olympics format here, but I think it's the broadcast model making it harder to adapt to modern times.

The Olympics have a lot of 1-minute clips that would be perfect for TikTok or a short YouTube video, but even in countries with good Olympics coverage the seem stuck in a TV-like format where you cannot publish anything without permission of whichever company bought the rights in your country.

This is a pity, because the Olympics are objectively great: seeing the end result of years of effort by the greatest athletes in the world is the best motivation anyone can have to achieve more in life.

It's pretty troubled project. Way over budget and when it opens in 2025 you will be able to go only as far as Bakersfield. The last section to LA is still in "environmental review" (ie fighting the Nimbies).
Yeah, that's a complete fantasy. Since in US society the riot police doesn't come around with tanks and machine guns mowing down protesters, people have created this delusionthat that if they grabbed a couple of hundred M4s they could take on a government with a full blown army, and that when the shit hit the fan that army would still choose to fight with just shields and batons. There is a clip from the January invasion where a woman is fleeing the scene crying, because of the a 'violent' response from the police. I even think she just got pepper-sprayed (can't remember exactly). When asked what was she doing there, she said she went there to start a revolution.
There's a passage in a book (can't remember now either) about the Mexican revolution, where a man hopped on a donkey and left his tiny village to join the armed struggle.

A reverse osmosis water filter and a cheap glass pitcher.

I've found that I'm pretty sensitive to the taste of water (good and bad). I don't mind the water in many places, but it can be very hit or miss. Over the years, the amount of water I would drink tended to change quite a bit from location to location.

Instead, I use a reverse osmosis water filter to get completely neutral water every time I know there isn't anything reducing the amount of water I drink.

It's HUGELY affected the amount of water I drink over soda, milk, tea, etc.

(Studies cited there don't quite prove that asbestos-free talc is carcinogenic...but the evidence is damning enough that no well-informed consumer would actually use talc. Even if they somehow had access to guaranteed-0.00000% asbestos talc.)

Also rather concerning - talc is GRAS by the FDA when used as an anti-caking agent in table salt at concentrations below 2%.

I went from 2 wide screens to a single ultra wide, and I'm never going back. It's like you have two screens (well, more like 1.5), but they are optimally positioned, and there's no bevel in the middle.

It's worth mentioning that I use i3, which helps a lot organising all that screen real state. I can see how obnoxious it could be to use it with other desktop environments.

Because they're afraid that foreign actors (or other bad actors) will try to systematically influence online discourse to manipulate public perception. That could mean affecting the result of elections or just fuelling the fire when it comes to political disagreements.

Reading this I’m reminded of the debates around ORMs. At a basic level they drastically simplify your CRUD app. Until they make trivial errors no self-respecting programmer would (think N+1 queries), and then you need someone who actually understands what’s going on to fix it.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ever use ORMs, or that in simple cases they aren’t “good enough”. But at some level of complexity it breaks down.

AI-assisted programming is the new leaky abstraction.
>There is no solid evidence that voter id laws have any impact on voter turnout... Describing them as "voter restriction laws" is literally true but dishonest and dishonesty is bad.

That argument goes both ways:

There is no solid evidence that voter id laws have any impact on voter fraud... Describing them as "anti-voter fraud laws" is literally true but dishonest and dishonesty is bad.

Plus the anti-voter id argument isn't even necessarily about turnout. Someone being unable to vote is still bad even if they weren't planning to actually vote. Many of these people are caught in a cycle of disenfranchisement. It isn't surprising that people who have historically had their voting rights infringed upon have decided to stop engaging with the system. One way to stop that cycle is to guarantee that these disenfranchised people will have the right to participate if they wish to do so.
Trains are very efficient at carrying weight, especially if they can dump power into the grid (or battery) when braking. That metal-on-metal wheel has super low rolling resistance.

Not too much, especially after the first few times. And I had the bad habit (still sort of do) of spending far more time avoiding things that I found boring than it would take to actually do them.

And yes, I did have to do it eventually, but this helped stretch the deadline by a week or so, which is quite nice when you get like 4 assignments dumped on you in the same month (because god forbid the teachers work together and make us an evenly-loaded schedule).

> - good for modeling mechanical parts / lousy for modeling anything organic-looking

SDF modeling is great for organic shapes.

On the surface, it feels similar to OpenSCAD since CSG operations are natural primitives (min/max/...). Fillets / chamfers are easier to produce, compared to OpenSCAD: http://mercury.sexy/hg_sdf/#snippet

Libfive is one implementation geared towards CAD work. One issue with SDFs for CAD is that it can be difficult to work on complex models. The representation is not minimal: two SDFs can represent the same volume, but act differently when you combine them with other bodies.

Libfive's "stdlib" is quite minimal. For anything fancy, you have to build your own "DOM" on top of it, in order to organize your parametric models. I have not enough experience for that, but I think that it should be possible to build a DSL that render to an SDF expression, while supporting introspection, constraint solving, AD for gradients, etc, with goals similar to CadQuery (I don't like the stack API either). This might also help with the normalization issue above.
Can they go and do it somewhere else? I don’t need another ugly and power draining app in my iphone that I might forced to use.

If you believe that nutritional input has an effect on mood, then, by proxy, you also believe that the microbiome has an effect. We have outsourced a lot of food preprocessing to gut microbes, and if they are wiped out, then you‘ll suffer from malnutrition.
Just another data point, but my journey through digestive issues and recovery was kicked off by the worst depression and burnout I ever experienced, which started in 2019 and lasted 3 years.

My best guess for what happened is that work stress, excessive celebration and coping with the cognitive dissonance of the pre-COVID era and subsequent pandemic, combined with overtraining and the misuse of protein shakes in place of food, left me in a chronically dehydrated state. The body tries to collect moisture from the gut, which opens an opportunity for bacteria to get into the body cavity and blood, which is colloquially called leaky gut. This sets off food sensitivities and eventually an autoimmune condition/response to lectins, gluten, etc, which have proteins similar to linings in the body, joints and thyroid. Then a cascade happens where everything goes out of whack quickly. In my case, I went from being in the best shape of my life, the strongest I had ever been in the gym, to barely able to get out of bed in the morning. In other people, it might present as chronic fatigue, arthritis, etc.

I didn't really believe any of this in 2018, and my meal plan then consisted entirely of everything that I can't eat today. So I consider what people say politely, but for the most part, they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. This experience has made stuff like GMO foods sound absolutely insane to me. Like, why would we ever taint our food supply to make food 5 cents cheaper or "feed the world" when we've been operating under artificial scarcity since the end of the second world war? It's all a crock.

Every time you eat inflammatory food, the risk is similar to smoking a cigarette. Probably nothing will happen, but if it sets off your immune system, you may wake up one morning chronically depressed and/or unable to eat something that you rely upon. It got me after I turned 40, YMMV.
Forestry land is really cheap.
I think this post is missing that one cannot write a memory allocator that returns objects of different types in conforming/correct C. I.e. you can't write malloc because it violates the type aliasing restrictions.

This can be worked around by putting the allocator in a separate object file (no LTO) or shared library, or by annotating it with compiler attributes that locally switch off aliasing, or by hoping the compiler doesn't exploit the UB inherent in the allocator to your ruin.

Same game in C++ as of the last time I checked, but at least there's placement new and std::launder as workarounds, which strictly speaking need to be used when creating objects with malloc too.

> no actual replacement occurring, rather a simple recasting, since both structs have the same memory footprint

Can't do that either I'm afraid for much the same reason, need to memcpy over the memory and trust the compiler to elide said copy
>I don't think leaving huge holes in someone's education, because a parent (or one of these co-ops) can't teach it properly, is a good trade-off for shielding him/her from perceived indoctrination.

I generally agree that forgoing basic education is not a solution. Most parents I know readily admit that they don't have the bandwidth for homeschooling and choose private schools as a solution.

I'm not to interested in tilting at individual facts, so hopefully we can skip that part, and agree that different world views are instilled in children as part of their education (by whatever means).

I often hear it parroted that certain people are oppressors by virtue of their birth and guilty and responsible for generations of injustice. I do not want my children to internalize this message.

With that context, perhaps we can agree that all parents are opposed to teaching children ideologies they don't personally agree with.

I would further suggest that many parents currently pulling their children from schools are doing so based on the message above.

Which ultrawide and what size?

I'm confused between getting 2 27 inch 4k monitors vs a QHD (low res) 34-38 inch ultrawide.
I am still at the design stage, but I am looking at something like:

- AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shaker Tactile Transducer

- Nobsound Mini Bluetooth 5.0 Power Amplifier

- TalentCell Rechargeable 12V 3000mAh Lithium ion Battery Pack

My biggest concerns are custom mounting of the transducer(s). Not sure where will give the best effect without damaging the chair.

My goal is for it to be wireless, splitting bluetooth audio into channels for AirPods Max and this receiver.

Concern there is I don't know what the latency will be like, or if I'll need to introduce delay into say the headphones channel. I have a few of the Rogue Amoeba tools, including Loopback that I'm planning to bring into the mix if necessary. Another idea is to separate the amp and BT receiver, getting something more professional like the Fiio BTR5.

The MVP should probably just be a wired connection to the chair, so maybe that can prove the mounting and potential first.

That's where I am at. But I have the same concerns as you, I don't want loud I have great headphones, just more immersion and more bass feel.

As someone on FODMAP, what works for me is to do breakfast/lunch meal replacement with low FODMAP shakes (like Huel), then get a few FODMAP cookbooks and make dinners out of that. Works great and is fairly painless - lots of delicious meals can be made that are low fodmap, fortunately. It's really difficult to avoid FODMAPs when eating out, western food loves onions and garlic for instance - for these cases, I use alpha-glucosidase enzyme tablets (I take 2x 350mg tablets with a meal).
