I could do with a bit more explanation.

Why does the man print multiple copies of the same plate, but each with successively lighter ink, or less ink?

There's a comment about the texture of the ink layer produced by the dauber or pouncer, but they don't show us that, or indeed ever let us get a close look at a page. Some magnified images with raking light would have been nice.

Why is the plate so small, or was that the size of the book (possibly "tricesimo-secondo", 3.5 x 5.5 inches)?

The impressed pages have a distinct rectangle pressed into them. How would such pages be bound into a book, i.e. glued on to larger sheets? sewn or what?

Was the plate being used an original by Blake, or a reproduction?

Was this an on-going project to reproduce an entire book (Songs of Innocence, it appeared) and if so, how long would that take? Or was it a one-off demonstration for the film?
Why move the goalpost? The claim was "X" happens, the cite demonstrated "X" happening.

They mention GitLab, Discord, Matrix, Reddit, and their Wiki on their “join us”. Seeing Matrix should be a good sign.

I think it's also interesting to figure out what exactly is memory. I don't know anything about medical research but my gut feeling is that memory is more of a "feeling" than concrete snapshots such as computer memory.
̌Challenge response does not help much. The database ends up exposed on the workstation.
I don't think that's the point the parent was trying to make. We've evolved intelligence presumably because it was selected for as a trait that made it more likely we'd survive and reproduce. That doesn't mean we're any more "upward" than any other species on the planet that does an equally good job surviving and reproducing.

Yes, we've defined human evolution as "upward" as opposed to other life on Earth, but that's purely our self-description, not anything inherently true about the universe.
There's a bridge to Matrix, so you don't need to use Discord. Although personally I regard Discord as a nicer experience.

Why would this be a default, or an inevitability? Sounds like a reasonable incentive structure for VC-funded companies looking to be a unicorn. But it’s far from the only option culturally. It certainly doesn’t seem like the sort of thing that makes sense for Mozilla.

Why, because we might have another once-in-a-century pandemic two or three years from now? We were told that we all had to drop everything and alter our daily lives because this was an exceptional crisis that hadn't been seen in generations. If that's genuinely true, who cares about precedent? Exceptional circumstances are what emergency laws are for.
This looks really cool. Curious though that they picked GPL3, but not AGPL, given the product type.

> "... if Mike and Drew have the same SAT scores and apply to the same colleges, but Mike gets into Harvard and Drew doesn’t, they can still expect to earn the same income throughout their careers ..."

That is interesting and surprises me: Certainly many elite jobs are available to Harvard graduates that aren't available to most others. I wonder how that fact (AFAICT) reconciles with the claim about income.

> That’s not “education” directly

Agreed - the market doesn't reward education, but how well you serve their particular corporate needs. Education isn't vocational training, especially at better schools.
I think they usually use some sort of point of sale device and service to handle credit cards. That is pretty analogous to using a payment processing service.
There are safety-related limits (power modulation proportion, duration of a pause needed after each modulation, modulations frequency...), and the very combustible status is a major parameter.

Pertinent document (French ahead!): https://new.sfen.org/rgn/expertise-nucleaire-francaise-suivi...

« un réacteur peut varier de 100 % à 20 % de puissance en une demi-heure, et remonter aussi vite après un palier d’au moins deux heures, et ce deux fois par jour »

Proposed translation: "a reactor power output can vary from 100% to 20% in 30 minutes, then after 2 hours can go back to 100% at the same speed, and can cycle this way 2 times per day".

This is quite a good performance when it comes to load-following (French engineers are very good at this), however it is insufficient in the real world (save any ridiculously expensive over-provision of nuclear reactor, most idling) and very weak compared to gas turbines performances.
You have a point. Medically induced coma such as with pentobarbital can “flatline” the brain, eliminating electrical fields. After weaning the pentobarbital patients have their memories intact.
It was just the easiest example. Malware on your system could helpfully ship with it or something similar.

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. There's nothing wrong with asking questions.

Packets on the internet are transferred from host to host until they reach their destination. Your laptop on your local network is probably sending packets to your consumer router, which sends the packet to the ISP's router, and to other routers, until the packet reaches its destination. At each step of the way, routers can choose whether they wish to drop the packet or not. Due to various historically complicated reasons, many routers will drop packets they don't recognize.

To give some examples, a small transit provider may have some really old routers that don't recognize modern versions of TLS, and these older routers usually did packet analysis on the hardware, so changes to the protocol need to be reflected in a hardware upgrade, which the transit provider will not do unless absolutely necessary for cost reasons. The provider may then choose to drop the packet because they don't recognize what kind of packet it is.

Why should a middlebox care about what kind of packet is being sent? Many complicated reasons. CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT) is one of the iconic examples. Organizations do not want to learn IPv6, administer IPv6, or upgrade their hardware for IPv6, so they instead put layers of NAT in and block end-to-end connectivity on the internet. Another is that some netops will try to blanket drop packets that they don't recognize (think only allowing DNS queries to their specific DNS server, HTTP/TCP traffic, and maybe UDP traffic on a blessed VOIP port) to both defend from malicious users (instead of putting in the work to detect malicious traffic) and to better utilize the network they have and defer any network upgrades until absolutely necessary. Many middleboxes just drop non TCP/UDP traffic altogether, so protocols like SCTP which were designed for media streaming have a really hard time getting off the ground.

It's complicated. Combinations of organizational culture, low margins, and lack of consumer understanding of their networks creates situations where middleboxes are aggressive without reason upon their traffic. This phenomenon is called protocol ossification, or just ossification in networking speak.

Geographic distribution only works so much. It lower the probability of insufficient generation, but doesn't completely eliminate it. It also comes with other costs. Namely, the need for overproduction as well as expanding electrical infrastructure to move lots of energy over long distances.

Why is the Codex Seraphinianus on this list? There is no cipher, it's made up nonsense. The artist said so himself.
I agree with your point, but you picked stunningly bad examples. MongoDB and ElasticSearch are both fauxpen source, and Vagrant and Docker are both open core. The only one on your list that's really open source is Red Hat. Better examples would be Nextcloud and Grafana.
I attended a lecture by a bitter ex-LLL scientist who said they had made great progress with the magnet mirror approach but it was scuttled right before it starting it up. This was so they could do the laser project(s) which was really about learning how to build weapons.

Any thoughts on the real focus of the lab?
> Our naive currency conversion will work exactly like our naive inflation adjustment. We will compare the cost of a similar basket of goods across the different platforms. In this case, our basket of goods will be similar to our inflation calculation, i.e the average of the top 50 highest ranking inflation adjusted websites on a platform.

> We can now calculate the “GDP” of a domain by adding the total value of all webpages produced by a domain.

This is very easy to game by spamming posts with one upvote on any platform, because the formula for calculating score increases strictly positively with the number of links.

You could have low-voted posts count against the total score, but then anyone could easily de-rank a competitor's content by creating low-voted posts about it.
Why not? Assuming you mean utc when you say timestamp. You just need to covert it the users timezone before displaying it.

Inviting Georgia and Ukraine to start proceeding down the path toward membership. That's... not a short path. You can regard that as "NATO pursuing it"; to me it sounds more like "the door is open".

And, 2008? Yeah, Ukraine was sure on an express track toward rapid admission, weren't they?

Under NATO rules, Ukraine could not have been admitted with ongoing territorial conflicts. That means they would have to renounce Crimea and Donbass. That was, shall we say, not on the brink of happening.

And, you can save the insulting condescension. Your post would be more persuasive without it.

> Honestly, this makes me wonder whether the feature should even exist in ZFS.

My understanding is that the OpenZFS project devs feels that the answer is an emphatic no, it should not exist, but they're committed to backwards compatibility so they won't drop it. (Take with a grain of salt; that's an old memory and I can't seem to find a source in 30s of searching.)
This made me think of my growing pile of electronics with lithium batteries collecting dust in my basement. These are things that still have some value, but low enough value that they're hard to sell online. Any tips on what to do with them?

I feel like some of the "inspired by cubeworld" stuff is a little too heavily inspired, but I really enjoyed taking a quick look at the source and logging in to check things out.

Things seemed pretty clean, and because everything has source posted I was able to mess around with the apis, and try a few things against your services :) (hope I didn't set off any alarms lol). That said, what I'm assuming is Sha256 could always be a bit tighter, consider a strength upgrade on those credentials.

There's a bit of snobbery going on here for go / voxel hate, but I really enjoyed digging into a completely open source setup for something that is already a nice intro of game, services, and execution, well done :)
They have removed a lot more. You can try plenty of loan words from other languages that aren't available. The basis for the original game was 'Collins Scrabble Words 19' which omits words as well.

And it may shock you but I do indeed know that words have multiple meanings. However I'm not really sure what's so hard to understand about the fact that the NYT is going to remove most controversial ones from a word game.
I can refuse because over the five years I've worked remote, my employer has shed most of its office space across the nation. If they want us back in the office, they're going to have to add that expense back to their balance sheet. For companies that like to use their office space as a show piece, that expense isn't a problem but for companies like the one I work for who operating on tight margins, things like offices are a luxury the bottom line can do without.

Depends what you’re trying to build. Sure, if you’re just doing consulting work then go get requirements from a customer and deliver on them.

If you’re building a real product there’s frequently not even an existing customer and certainly none to “give you requirements”. You need to understand problems to solve and turn those into requirements for a product and if you can do that then you’re not working at a customer giving requirements to a vendor.
How much do you enjoy programming that's very deep and sophisticated, something only other experts could understand and replicate, versus a problem that's low-hanging fruit in a technical sense but that nobody thought to use programming to solve?

I keep finding in my (not specifically programming) career that my moments of joy come more in being an enthusiastic amateur, in taking an automation task from nothing to something, rather than taking something complex and making it slightly more complex and slightly better.

OP's setup looks actually pretty similar to my one, though where the pinephone really - really - shines is pentesting.

The compatibility with external Wifi USB adapters and BT hardware like the ones from scott's gadgets make it an amazing pentesting device.

For serious mobile-friendly usage I don't think that we can build UIs the way they're built on Linux systems anymore.

I challenge every defender of that GTK/QT crap to build a swipeable sidebar into their native and responsive UI. If it takes more than 10 minutes, you lost, cause that's what it takes to use CSS, even without any IDE or toolkit.

I wish GTK wasn't built inhouse and would focus on using established toolchains instead of reinventing their own programming language ecosystem with every new release. Nobody wants to use vala. Nobody wants to use glade. Nobody wants to use any of the ecosystem, because it's much more pain than any established UI framework's methodology.

There's a reason why everyone uses electron, and the reasons are not the same why you think your GNOMey toolchains matter. And this has to stop. Otherwise everybody will hop on QT at some point.

I still hope that webkit, javascriptcore and nodejs can be combined into something that allows to easily call C-ABI compatible libraries without 300MB of build size like electron. [1]

Does there have to be a persistence layer if the machine is never shutdown?

If all our memories are stored in “RAM” and never flushed to “disk”, we may never find evidence of “disk”.
That's not true, even if you claim that they weren't built any better "back then" (which is a point I would still argue with).

The reason is that there is literally not a single 2000+ fridge that will be going when it's 50-60 years old. Say that 1960's-1970's fridge broke and needed repair sometime in the last 50-60 years? Or the next? I can still today get plenty of repair parts! You can't get parts for most "modern" fridges over 10 years old today. No way in 50 years. You're simply not going to fix your internet-connected DRM'd in-door water dispenser filter controller board when it's discontinued.

My bold prediction is that in 50 years, you'll still see pre-2000 fridges in about the same % as you do today, with the rest being 0-20 years old (which would be 2050-2070 models).

Pretty impressive; all the layout, the logic and the end result. It actually made it somehow "easier" to play. Great work!

Apartments don't generally lose much money when appliances fail. They pay "unskilled laborers" low wages to replace the unit within a reasonable time frame. During that time, the tenant continues to pay rent as normal.

There aren't any apartments that compete based on "Our super reliable appliances won't fail!" so any tenants unhappy about this have no marginal benefit to moving somewhere else.

Therefore, apartments usually provide the cheapest appliances which fit the aesthetic of the rest of the build. Or, these days, whichever appliance is available for purchase because there's been a massive shortage of durable goods.

I know those things! And it doesn't disagree with my GP statement:

> doctors are educated by sales reps ...

That statement goes to the heart of it: "doctors" aren't educated by sales reps, different doctors are and to different degrees. You can trust different doctors to different degrees, and there is a very wide range - some are highly trustworthy, some the opposite. And you never know for sure and all you can do is observe and apply your best judgment. That's true for everyone, including Moms.

One thing I can observe is that doctors obtain MDs, and I've rarely encountered doctors who didn't have deep expertise in medicine, and I know some about how much study is done at medical schools. I can't be absolutely sure, but that's a strong signal that they know far more than I do.

Saying 'you can't trust anyone' is as serious and reasonable as saying 'you can trust everyone'. The world just isn't that simple, but finding who to trust is almost the most important skill.

You could point to flywheels as a form of energy storage. But unless you actually have the ability to operate them at sufficient scale, that's irrelevant. People have been investigating laser drilling for a decade at least [1], yet it hasn't resulted in widespread geothermal adoption.

Throughout this whole thread you've been pointing to proposals and plans as though simply having plans is a demonstration of viability. Unless people are actively implementing the solutions you're proposing, then those solutions aren't proven to work. There's a massive difference between pointing to an entrepreneur that promises this special drill will be able to build geothermal plants anywhere, and actually building geothermal plants in the middle of Germany. There's a massive difference between plans that promise to store X amount of hydrogen, and actually building and running said storage plants. Electrolysis has been known for at

As far as I'm concerned, both hydrolysis and this geothermal-anywhere approach fall into the bucket of "scientific breakthroughs". Could they be viable if they pan out? Sure. But it's highly unwise to bet the future of civilization on something that might work out, as opposed to something that's been operating at scale for most of a century.

We have chickens, but they free-range for the most part, until they're locked out of the garden. They don't chew the grass, but do eat lots of other things. (And some plants, hence being locked out the garden for summer.)
Similar boat. No one tool does a great job. The only thing that come close is eMacs org mode. However dosnt integrate with google calendar or other modern tools or do well on mobile. curious to see what others use or how they have adapted org mode in daily life using todays tools like smartphone and cloud based “available everywhere”
This makes it pretty clear. Thanks for clarifying
I agree with you on the former, not the latter. I find the "mumbling" more realistic dialogue (often in scenes where the script is supposed to be cramped and confusing) and feels more like natural human interaction.

But the imbalance of dynamics makes it problematic.
The Ottoman Empire was the continuation of the Roman Empire, not the end of it.

If you were a Greek living in the Byzantine Empire – or as they described themselves, a Roman living in the Roman Empire – the Ottomans were just the new Roman Emperors. The Roman bureaucracy, civil institutions, and daily life changed very little.

People don't normally acknowledge it because both the Holy Roman Empire and the Russian Empire wanted to be recognised as successors to the Roman Empire, but the truth is that the Ottomans were the real successors.

Some info on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_claim_to_Roman_success...
