It rusts if you leave it damp, and the rust is porous and consequently impossible to keep clean; you have to scrub it off or remove it with acid. Restaurant kitchens wash and scrub their pots constantly but they also use a lot of stainless steel.

One thing FIFA has that MTG never did: it effectively destroys you collection of cards every year. You can’t carry over cards between their yearly releases, and you can’t get updated rosters without getting the latest release.

It is, at least for sports games, incomparable to MTG or Pokémon.
Also, cast iron pans leach iron into food, and are therefore an effective way to treat anemia. Any one who needs a small, steady dose of iron can benefit from cast iron pans.

We should be beaming our own propaganda into Russia in massive quantities.

It's not always necessary. Think fully offline networks that can't/won't use a CA anyway, or networks where physical/machine access is the intended layer of security (a web server running on localhost).

In these scenarios a self-signed certificate will rarely improve security because most users will click through the warning anyway in case of an MITM attack.

We use the Linea Pro too w/ the SwipeTrack browser making them available in our web app. We've previously used both the Infinite Peripherals SDK w/ an iOS app, but SwipeTrack have a pretty good JS API [1].

Funnily enough, the Linea Pros have been going down hill. They swapped out the barcode engine and it is not fast / crisp. Sometimes faster to just use the iOS Camera (w/ Swipetrack) instead of the Linear Pro's sled.

I mean, they're totally for a different purpose though. Clad stainless cookware is meant for faster reaction to changes in temperature. Cast iron is great for searing but has way too much thermal mass to finely control temperature. Hard to beat copper and stainless steel for that.

pdf417 barcodes are commonly used on US driver's licenses, and contain private information like the person's address, height, eye color, full name, etc. For the API to do its work in detecting a valid barcode, it needs to be able to read the entire barcode to compute a checksum/checkdigit. Which means it has to read the data.

Someone generated a 3D model using the video: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/endurance-ship-wreck-discove...
France is incredibly regressive and conservative when it comes to anything related to genetics. For example, for people doing IVF, it's not allowed to test the embryos for viability. The argument is that such testing is too close to eugenics, so instead women doing IVF cannot get any guarantees that the embryos are viable and it makes the procedure harder.

Doing a DNA test for yourself is also illegal...

Surrogacy is also not legal in France because “Any agreement, even if it does not provide for remuneration, whereby a woman agrees to conceive, bear and give birth to a child and then renounce it, is contrary to public order, the inviolability of the human body and the personal status of a natural person.”

So I wouldn't put much stoke into the policies of France on this matter
What kind of ceramic pan are you describing here? My assumption was ceramic coated cast iron, but you would hardly replace that yearly.
Neither part of that is true. If you sell French fries which cost you $1, and you sell them for $2, your profit is $1. If you can raise the price to $3 then you’ve doubled your profits. But your customers know that French fries are bad for their health, and so year after year they promise themselves that someday they will quit French fries completely. When you raise the price to $3, that is when they decide they can really quit.
Fair enough. You didn't quite say that "papers should be boring."

But you've overlooked the point of the paragraph you quote, which is that the issue isn't really whether a paper is boring or entertaining. It's about whether it is tedious or engaging. And being tedious certainly is a flaw in technical writing. The problem with tedious writing is that fewer people will actually read it and those that do will become fatigued, lose focus, and may not understand the document even if it uses language in a crystal clear way.

I hear you on the risks inherent in the use of pronouns. Not using pronouns at all is certainly one strategy for addressing the risk of ambiguity or misunderstanding, but it is one with the serious disadvantage of making your text burdensome to read. And it certainly is not true that all pronoun use is ambiguous or misleading. You just have to be careful in how you use them. This can be difficult, but the reward is that you produce a piece of writing that it both clear and engaging (perhaps even not boring).

FWIW its worth, I'm a lawyer. So I have my fair share of experience with one type of technical writing where clarity is particularly important. But given that our job is to persuade, I think lawyers may be more keenly aware than most that someone has to actually read your words and do so attentively if your writing is to achieve anything. It takes substantial work on the part of the writer to make that happen while ensuring that the writing remains sufficiently clear.

It's a bit startling to realize just how young medical science is. I think it's not unreasonable to compare medicine (and a lot of biology) in the nineteenth century to the state of physics in the sixteenth century.
There might be more to the privacy characteristics of an API like this than meets the eye. For instance, if a user grants camera permissions scoped to http://insecure.website in order to scan a QR code and get it detected, it might be surprising to the user that on-path attackers would be able to see the user’s camera snaps. Making the API work in a degraded mode in insecure contexts (e.g. by disabling particularly privacy-sensitive data sources) might be a plausible alternative, but at this point it’s arguably cleaner and less risky to just make the interface HTTPS-only in order to avoid making developers and users reason through these nuances.

I am in agreement with wyager, this feature looks like it could be heavily beneficial to a shipping company's internal web app for instance, or other applications that could be running completely isolated from the global network (or running on the machine itself for that matter).

Forcing https in these applications is a waste of time and money for orthogonal purposes. I guess it could be seen as a cost of dev. for any web based application from now on, but it's sad to me to see the barrier to entry get higher for these reasons.
Bit off-topic: can anyone recommend resources (videos/papers/tutorials) that could help me learn how QR barcode detection and scanning itself is implemented?

As the article points out, AMD has largely vacated that market. Stuff like the 1600AF or 3300X were rather poorly stocked even when they were sold and now AMD has claimed the more profitable performance segment of the DIY market don't feel the need to complete downmarket when they could be using their fab time to make epyc cpus and reestablish a foothold in the server market, or GPUs with their massive price inflation.

This might change now Intel is competitive again, or if the shortages ease so they can't simply sell a GPU or server CPU by just having one to sell, but it won't be instant.

Which leaves basically the only other CPU active in that price bracket as the 11400

If you want the closest point between two convex polyhedra, GJK is useful, but it helps to think about the problem differently. You don't really need the Minkowsky difference, which requires looking at all the points. It's a local hill-climbing problem. You start with a point on each convex polyhedron and walk along the edges to a shorter distance between the points. You still need a simplex, but its geometric interpretation is clearer - it's describing a point-point, point-edge, edge-edge, point-face, edge-face, or face-face closest situation, all of which are possible. So you advance one point of the simplex at a time.

Visualize a small cube sitting just above a big cube for the face-face situation. The closest vertices may be much further apart than the faces.

Performance is O(sqrt(N+M)). And that's from a cold start. In practice, when simulating moving objects, you start the algorithm from the previous solution. If movement is slow relative to the frame time, it usually takes zero or one improvements to get the new closest points. So that's O(1). This is very good performance.

There are some numerical issues. First, you need a convex hull. Which means no coplanar faces. Faces should be flat polygons, not just triangles. Otherwise, you can get stuck on the wrong triangle of a flat face. Of course, polygons are never completely flat in floating point, which creates other problems. A good solution is to require at least a 1 degree break angle at each edge. Convex hull programs can do things like that. This also provides some mesh reduction in case someone puts in something with a huge number of faces.

Second, there's a loss of floating point significance if two faces are nearly parallel. This can cause the algorithm to go into an infinite loop, where the termination condition is not satisfied and the algorithm cycles between similar simplexes. If you're building a physics engine, that's what normally happens when one object comes to rest upon another. So that has to be dealt with.

I used to do ragdoll physics, back in the 1990s.[1] I used the implementation of the late Prof. Stephen Cameron at Oxford, and discovered the "problem in the termination condition" he mentions.[2] I had a somewhat clunky fix, but his was better.

> I think you're being unrealistically conservative about how much things are going to change.

They will change, but the direction you are invoking is fundamentally in the opposite course of history wrt this industry. When has there been greater government control over the software industry, specifically when it comes to what constitutes a software engineer?

> You might be right that things will get better instead of worse

I said corporate control is rampant and regulators are as weak as ever. I supposed from a certain political point of view things are getting better.

Because this entire discussion has been mostly about Silicon Valley-adjacent engineering. Perhaps Leetcode interviews are a pain point for Iranian programmers.

> Cast iron is 100% iron.

plenty of cast irons have all sorts of things mixed in them. i don't think anyone particularly cares to use pure iron, because additives make the process easier.

some of them include chromium, nickel, molybdenum, etc.

Most of the people doing this are on a LAN with a commodity firewall (modem/router combo)

I think their security posture mainly stems from being isolated in this way.

I've seen enough questionable suggestions like disabling the host firewall/SELinux that I doubt there are many layers to their security onion.

To be fair, I do rely on the network gateway too. It's pretty much all on my LAN, on a separate VLAN.

Additionally... most of my services are on a 'mesh' style VPN called Nebula. This lets the things I really need to access outside of home work while not being quite as exposed.
Similarly, it makes it much easier to make the business case for switching to outsourcing and insourcing business models. That makes it much less likely that you have to worry about losing money to people who “work from home”.

And I'm sure it's better, if wirelessness is your priority. But the drawbacks and price are far too much for me. I like being able to have all my computers, devices, mixers, and headphones be compatible without worrying about software. It's just two analog signals going through a wire, and it's easy. And as a bonus I don't have to have two separate sets of headphones to accommodate the non-bluetooth things like my electric piano.
