>> The trick they use is to use a very energetic gamma rays that colides (indirectly) with one deuterium, and this deuterium is very fast that is the same effect you get when you have a very hot deuterium.

That notion of "hot" is not the norm. Most of us think in terms of temperature, not "energy". Would you want to get an X-ray if it were described in a way that sounded like high temperatures going to fry you? No.

When the original cold fusion work was published, physicists across the board declared it impossible, insisting that high temperatures (and/or pressures?) were absolutely required for fusion to happen. The notion of a desktop fusion reaction was categorically ridiculed. Now it's OK so long as we change our conventional definitions to make those earlier denials not seem ignorant. BTW I'm not saying the origial CF worked, just that those rejecting it used words that would also exclude the possibility of LCF (or LENR or whatever we call it now).

I use protonmail as a second account. It works fine, but there are a few quality of life differences compared to gmail.

1. ProtonMail can not search the contents of messages in the web client, unless you enable local indexing. This downloads all of your messages to the client, and performs the search locally. This, of course, must be done from every web client. It makes sense, given that PM can't see the contents of your messages. The Android app can not search the contents of messages.

2. The Android app does not clear notifications if the message is read elsewhere. This can be annoying when you look at your phone and see notifications for 7 unread messages after they've all been read.

Proton supports TOTP only, and not U2F/WebAuthn.

If anything it's the least harmful way of generating a profit. Better than restricting parts of the site. Besides, a subscription service like this is something employers will most likely be paying for, not developers – unless you're a freelancer, in which case it still would count as a business expense.
Use a unique email address for every service you have to sign up for. Optionally combined with sieve filter to sort them accordingly.
The OO pattern is far worse, and it's easy to show why: there is only one lifecycle method of a type for each class. This means that when you have a set of related behaviors, you have to split them up across several lifecycle methods and keep them in sync. Sure, that's fine if you just have "one-liners", but software grows, and over time your class will become difficult to maintain as each of those lifecycle methods start managing several different behaviors, all interrelated. With hooks, this isn't a problem: each set of behaviors can be encapsulated by a single hook that handles all lifecycle events together. This can be further abstracted into its own function, which allows them to be trivially reused in any other component. It's simply not feasible in OO patterns.

I think if you actually used hooks, you'll notice this immediately. It's not a matter of "looking cooler", a lot of language theory went into making UI development functional and less stateful, which in turn makes it far easier to manage complex applications. A small team can maintain a pretty huge beast if using hooks effectively.

I've been in the industry since the days of VB6 (which I loved). I've never been more productive than I was with VB6 and WinForms. That said, UI has always been a mess, even then. The more feature-rich you want your UI, the gnarlier and messier it gets.

Everyone always likes to blame the front-end engineers for being slovenly, but my experience is that; UI is just messy. It's just hard to program cleanly.

Not to mention, modern UIs are generally more complex than the old VB days (at least, my programs are): they have to adjust to various screen sizes. They are almost always client/server apps and need to account for more failure modes. They are built on top of a mess of a document layer that was never intended to be an application layer.

This last point is the reason the front-end space has so much churn. It's still an unsolved problem, and may never be well-solved, but I'm glad folks are trying to solve it. React was a step-change for me in terms of building better UIs. I'm looking forward to the next step-change.

Lastly, before someone makes the argument: no; we aren't going to stop building applications on top of the DOM + CSS. Not until someone comes up with an alternative that gives us the same ease of distribution and broad base adoption.

Edit: I should note, I'm a full-stack dev, and have been more back-end than front-end for most of the early part of my career. The backend is always easier for me at least, but I don't think it's because front-end devs are hipsters.
Some ~20 years ago, my professor suggested we not only sign and date the notebook, but hash the contents and publish the hash to the new york times. I'm told this in some way resembles the blockchain.

An auto loan is a financial product: something that you effectively buy. The dealer not only sells cars, but financial products. They make more money if they sell you a car and one or more financial products, than if they just sell you a car.

Also, auto loans give them steady income averaged over time, which smooths out their cash flow. If they only sold cars for cash, they would have more pronounced boom and bust cycles in their revenue.

If the rate of their loans is low, it's because the car is overpriced to make up for it. Do the reverse math. Call your bank and ask them what the interest would be for a line of credit equivalent to the loan amount for that car, over the same period. Use the bank's interest part of their loan to deduce what the cash value of the car must be. E.g. say the bank offers you $30,000 over five years at 3%. You're going to pay about $2300 in interest which is 7.6% of the principal amount. OK, so if the car dealer were to offer you close to 0% interest for five years, it means they inflated the car's price by 7.6% (if not more) so that they make at least the same money on the loan as the bank would. You should therefore pay 7.6% less for the car in cash, than what they are asking for under the too-good-to-be-true loan.
SFTP requires the subsystem to be enabled, and can be implemented either by an external binary or an internal OpenSSH implementation (some SSH servers do not implement it internally).

SCP is always external, and merely needs to be found in the path. Because it's much more simple to configure, greater ubiquity is not surprising.
I suspect it has to do with honest reporting of statistics. Mainland China maintains they have little to no COVID, but regime would incentivise people to not report cases out of fear of retribution. This includes the local official who might lose their position as well as the regular citizen—rumours are mainland government wants to introduce fever medication sale controls because if you are sick you might rather hide than cause your entire neighborhood essentially be placed under house arrest.

Additionally, I believe it is in mainland government’s general interest to paint HK as unable to take care of itself here.

> In 1989, two electrochemists, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons, reported that their apparatus had produced anomalous heat ("excess heat") of a magnitude they asserted would defy explanation except in terms of nuclear processes. They further reported measuring small amounts of nuclear reaction byproducts, including neutrons and tritium. The small tabletop experiment involved electrolysis of heavy water on the surface of a palladium (Pd) electrode. The reported results received wide media attention and raised hopes of a cheap and abundant source of energy.

You assume that it would reach the West.

Maybe China just takes the Russian gas and pays them in Yuan.

Misinformation being circulated about Ukraine/Russia conflict on social media
I agree, that is what I meant with the "main" source. It would also be cool if browsers could just add a color-scheme toggle in their UI. That way it can be available for all websites without needing to look around for the in-site toggle. (Firefox has this in the dev tools but that isn't exactly user-friendly).
Hey Mozilla, just writing to thank you for your excellent documentation. The only real problem I have is how free it is. Is there any way I can send you money every month in perpetuity. Thanks.
True, I was following the official wording because even us in the west didn't want to call that an invasion for fear of inciting Putin. Of course that ship has sailed so we can now call it what it is.

But basically the status quo is that these areas would be no good for Ukraine anymore because they're shot to crap and full or armed rebels (or green men). It's not like it's actually useful territory for building housing or running commercial activities etc. It's also pretty clear Russia would keep playing that game even if they retreat.

I would assume they'd gladly give up this territory (and Crimea) at this point for the war to stop. And then go full NATO or at least EU for future protection. I don't think Russia will ever give up the war without some kind of compromise because they would lose face.

Either way, I hope a consensus will be reached soon because this BS war is killing real people.

OpenSSH's habit of giving their tools the same name as protocols makes this confusing to talk about. SCP (the tool) uses SFTP (the protocol) by default, right?

On the investment side, seeing early founders pay themselves similarly to their employees or slightly less was usually a good sign that the founder was truly in it for the long term. You don’t really want founders scraping by on ramen noodles and becoming financially desperate.

Seeing founders pay themselves exorbitantly was not a great sign, though. If someone is truly building a company into something they believe to be very valuable, the salary shouldn’t matter very much beyond helping them not worry about bills while they grow the company.

That’s all kind of obvious and well known. What I didn’t know was how the unscrupulous founders also know this very well and instead come up with creative ways to pay themselves outside of salary numbers. One founder liked to pay himself $100,000 consulting fees after fundraises to “reimburse” his work done before the raise at what he believed to be “below market rate”. It’s the kind of thing that won’t show up on cursory due diligence, but will poison later rounds when investors dig into finances and realize the CEO or other cofounders have been quietly extracting extra money for themselves. In one case it damaged a startup I was fond of enough that it cost the CEO potentially millions in equity in a later acquisition that failed.

Web traffic reduced to its simplest case happens synchronously between two parties: Me, the client, and the server providing the resource I want to access. Encrypting the communication between those two points breaks various people in-between who want to listen in with varying degrees of legitimacy (others can't listen in on my traffic, but on the other hand I can't e.g. listen in on the traffic of IoT-devices in my home network any more, either), but it doesn't break anything a regular end user might immediately care about.

Mail traffic is different: So that the sender and the receiver don't have to be online a the same time, we also need another intermediate party, i.e. the mail server. (In practice both sender and receiver utilise a mail server as an intermediate party, but here I'm mainly interested with "my" mail server on the receiving side.)

If the mail server's role was purely restricted to being a dumb store-and-forward store to hold any mails that arrive when I'm not online then, that'd be the end of the story, but in practice the mail server also fulfils a few additional functions that only work if the server actually has access to the message contents:

- Easy access from various sorts of mail clients ranging from full computers to phones to (especially for regular users these days) webmail, without having to worry about anything complicated like key management or whatnot
- Server-side spam filtering
- Server-side search, especially for mobile clients and webmail

> I wouldn't be surprised if adding salt to your pasta water didn't change the apparent salt balance of the resulting dish.

In the same chapter, the author also observes that you need to consider the total amount of salt coming from other ingredients, such as the cheese, stocks, or cured meats. Depending on the ingredients, especially cured meats, you might already be working with a lot of salt before you add any of your own.

In my case, there are two considerations at play. (1) I use the pasta water for thickening the sauce, so any salt I put in the pasta water is also going into the sauce at that concentration. (2) I finish the pasta in the already-seasoned sauce before serving, so the pasta isn't going onto the plate unsalted. End result is that I salt the pasta water when I know I have ample head room to work with, which is most times, but not always.
