I actually was just running into this problem this week, but on Kindle/eReaders. The solution I found was getting a out-of-state library card to a big city library ($50 a year) and borrowing books. The library also has all the manga that I wanted to read available to borrow with 3-4 copies of each volume, which ensures that I'll always be able to check out one of the ebook copies and put it onto my kindle

I highly recommend this to anyone, not only for manga but for any ebooks
The Italia Squisita YouTube channel has an excellent series of videos of Italian chefs preparing their signature dishes (lasagna: https://youtu.be/H-Ll19h9FFo).

They are 100% authentic Italian by definition, but if you are looking for THE singular authentic Lasagna recipe you aren’t going to find it. Even within Italy there are huge regional variations, and the practice is continually evolving to this day.

I really like this chef’s outro (another lasagna video: https://youtu.be/zXZq6crD6WI)
Basically he says “This is how I make it and honour my region and my ancestors, but you should make it however you like, and experiment, because it means the food is alive”.
> Doing more modern tasks like HTTP requests are not included, and adding the plugin for it is a little fiddly

FWIW a package can provide components but it should be possible to do HTTP requests out of the box without installing anything using the FPHttpClient unit (there is also a server one too if you need it), which is part of FCL (which is available by default on Lazarus projects):

{$mode objfpc}
uses FPHttpClient;
begin
with TFPHttpClient.Create(nil) do
try
Writeln(Get('http://example.org'))
finally
Free
end
end.

Sadly the documentation[0] is not that great - in fact it doesn't exist aside from the autogenerated stubs - but it should be possible to understand what is going on by the method names and arguments.

Pretty funny that you think it's ok for EU government monopoly to enforce rules but not ok for Apple to do so, despite not being a monopoly. Which is it? Are rules ok or not ok?
A lot of gaming hardware is trash. 1000 Hz on the package, endless latency inside, buggy firmware, buggier and resource-hogging companion apps, which are always Windows-only, and there are still even "gaming keyboards" which are 2KRO, bad materials and so on

That being said pretty much any 1000 Hz mouse is better than any 125 Hz mouse when using high refresh rates because the discrepancy between the 125 Hz mouse poll rate and the 120 or 144 Hz display causes very noticeable jitter. If you have a mouse where the poll rate can be adjusted, this can be easily A/B tested; it's quite visible in high-framerate recordings as well (this can be done in OBS by using the fractional frame rate selector and just inputting 144:1).
Bonus: Old stale issues automatically fade away!

>> We are not claiming gods don't exist.

> On the contrary, that is precisely the atheists' claim

I can only assume you're trolling, but sure I'll bite, because I have nothing better to do.

Again, athiests are not making the claims. In fact it's insulting to even have the word "athiest" exist, but I understand the historical context that led to it's existence.

A person is just a person, but then some people come along and make claims that there are gods. So the people ask;"Why? Can you prove it?". These questioners don't have beliefs that need to be proven, because they are the default. The theist is the one making the claim.

This is awesome. I'm a solo dev and I created an electron app named Label LIVE. I recently added an HTTP API so you can fire off label jobs using a POST request (or retrieve label PNGs via GET). What Label LIVE affords is a WYSIWYG imaging pipeline that can target many different thermal printers at the correct DPI, or generate/submit PDFs to a printer (system or network).

I've always had dedicated QA teams when working with physical devices (android smartphones and VR headsets, specifically). I think a dedicated QA team is absolutely non-negotiable for hardware development, because there is no test harness that can accurately simulate the range of stupid shit that happens with hardware:

"smartphone doesn't boot reliably when the ambient temperature is below 40 degrees fahrenheit" (temperature lowers the battery voltage + high power usage during startup = voltage drops below FCC-mandated minimums for the antennas -> automated SoC shutdown)

"bluetooth controllers won't pair reliably in building 17" (too much interference to pair if there are more than ~100 other bluetooth devices nearby)

The combinatorial explosion of external factors in this kind of bug is insane - you just won't have a good time without dedicated folks whose focus is chasing these down (and I'll take a good QA over a good engineer for this sort of investigation, any day).
They mention that in the post at the end.
This is all certainly true but it's important to look at the bigger picture. What is the overall impact of catching cancer earlier and saving lives? That is enormous as well. One way this is sometimes talked about in public health literature is by looking at the QALYs of an intervention. On the whole, breast cancer screening does seem to be an effective intervention

It is as if the article assumes that everyone is an American.

As a European, I am very much aware that much of the world doesn't really care if Ukraine disappears from the map or not. At least does not care enough to implement sanctions.

But of the countries that should absolutely be against Putins actions in Ukraine, everyone is onboard which is good to see. China, India or Brazil cannot be relied on to impose heavy sanctions on Russia and that is the way it is.

The West can however impose sanctions on countries that actively supply Russia, but that is about it regarding what can be done. And the West can keep on trying to gain support, as i think most countries can see what Putin has done with Ukraine is plain wrong.

China will want to do to Taiwan what Putin is doing to Ukraine, so they will naturally be cautious of condemning Russia in any way. And given the current state of affairs, it is unlikely that China will risk it and try to take Taiwan by force.
This sounds like a great setup. Can I ask what kind of product it is?

The fact that various test scores are correlated to each other only means, could mean that the tests themselves are correlated or that test-taking abilities are correlated. The resulting normal distribution also suggest tests are indicative of test-taking abilities. But... how do you show that test-taking ability correlates to intelligence?
I had to call the Washington State Department of Revenue (government office) yesterday. I DID speak to a human, but the human had no power to actually help. In my opinion, it is far worse when government has bad service than when a private business has bad service because I have no choice to switch. If I don't pay the Department of Revenue, they have the power to imprison me and steal my belongings. If I don't pay Google, then I just have my service cancelled.

Tldr; we need to solve the problem of bad service in government more urgently than bad service in big tech.
It forgets to consider false negatives, which will not really change much for this example as the accuracy at 99% is pretty high and the incidence is pretty low, and false negatives thus would not really change much.

However, when it comes to mammograms, where the false negative rate is up to 12.5% and the false positive rate is up to 50%, and the incidence of breast cancer in women (12.5% over a lifetime) is rather high, false negatives would play more of a role.

I immediately find myself asking whether the mistake is to allow one person to govern so much of a design of something so large and multi-purpose as a city.

Many places where people complain of a failed designed city are complaining about its uniformity, whereas most places that people rate highly will have an enormous range of styles, sizes, ages and even geometry.

It seems like a more useful design would need to be organic. You could have an open competition for people to simulate how a real town would have grown over time taking into account what happened in that part of the world (famines, wars etc.) to end up with something that could look much more varied and interesting but which could be built to modern standards of efficiency and also can design things like roads and services more sustainably, instead of creating something that cannot be maintained for reasonable money (digging up roads all the time, tarmac etc.)
No.

They don't have to and they don't need to.

Like many other Big Tech platforms, Twitter is a private platform and can ban, censor, de-platform who ever they want to for any reason whatsoever and can chose to do business with whoever they want to. They will never change and are on no-one's side.

On those platforms, there is no. such. thing. as. 'Free speech'.

Of course the US considers it illegal. But if you’re a Bulgarian executive running the Bulgarian subsidiary of a US company, they may do things closer to local custom despite US corporate directives. You’re demanding that foreigners extirpate their foreignness while they are employees of a US company. It’s not going to happen 100%.

You also need to recognize ambiguity and ask for confirmation when you see it. Even in the US people will get confused by 12AM/12PM; when you see either of those times you should double check to see what the person meant. On the other hand, the person setting the time should also have recognized the possible confusion and clarified (i.e. 12 noon or 12 midnight).

Yikes. I love Overcast and regularly recommend it but I feel like that new playlist UI (at the top of the home page) sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm sure it will grow on me but it just don't fit with the rest of the UI IMHO.

The playlists feel out of place and their UI isn't reflected anywhere else in the design, as in no other element has that pill-shape/high-border-radius and/or playful colors (aside from the new tint-colors for playback controls. The rest of the changes are fine but and I'll admit that the old playlist list was boring/plain but this could have been fixed by just adding an icon or a composite icon of some of the podcast art contained in the playlist.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter much since I never spend more than a minute or two looking at Overcast UI, I hit play and then lock my phone or go do something else.
If there is a large shift toward gig economy work, then the healthcare industry will shift as well. There's nothing preventing them from offering affordable healthcare to gig employees other than the status quo and their current profit models.

Something the size of the insurance industry is going to shift about 5-10 years after the general market. So if you're worried about short term gigification of your job, you might want to look into private insurance/benefit options now. Over the long term I think it will take care of itself.

Knowledge and resources necessary to develop AI-proposed toxins: multiple PhDs, thousands of square feet (probably 10s to low 100s of thousands) of lab space, including nasty stuff, like bromides and heavy metals, and testing and evaluation of various delivery vehicles, ranging from canes with needles to air-launched warheads with atomizers.
The struggle to maintain a grounded perspective, through the Trump era, through the pandemic, has been too much for most people. I still think Brand's heart is in the right place… probably. Fisher stayed true to the end, but I have to wonder if that's only because he took his life in January 2017. It's hard to think of social/political commentators who haven't succumbed, to some extent, to the brain-melting effects of the last several years. (Maybe Žižek? He's no more or less heterodox today than he was a decade ago.)
He is an anomaly, and we are lucky that people like him exist. The system incentivizes pretentious, artifice people who trick people via skulduggery. And, M$ should realize that committing such unforgivable sins like corruption in Africa means they are responsible for hunger and poverty in Africa.

If the atrocities were committed by Chinese/Indian companies, the media would have vehemently criticized those countries and companies. But, as long as US and EU are involved media seems to be silent which I don't like.

This is the one thing I've never found a suitable replacement for in the remote world. Chance encounters are difficult to replicate. Maybe I'm discussing an issue with a colleague, and someone in earshot happens to know the answer. I've seen groups try to have policies like no DMs and only using public channels, but that sucks.

I much prefer remote life, but it's true that there are some aspects of in person work that are better.
> When you switched from burning lignin to solar, you reduced your carbon usage. However, what happened to the lignin that you stopped using?

In my scenario, CarbonCruncher bought the lignin I stopped using and made a road out of it. Crucially, in doing so they claim to have a negative carbon impact because they'd trapped that carbon in the ground. But I already claimed that impact when I stopped buying and burning it myself and switched to a zero-emission energy source.

So my (genuine) question remains: we can't _both_ claim the benefit, so who's right?
Remix – Web Standards Are Cool Again

Automated tests (at least when it comes to web) are unlikely to catch graphical and UX issues in my experience, even when you're doing screenshot comparisions--things get missed. I've also had manual QA discover unrelated UX bugs too.
Criticize the act on the merits of the act, but don't use a physical condition as an insult. I don't think it's as hard as you make it out to be.

For example, I could say that you're ignorant of the harm that the colloquial use of "retarded" has on disabled people. I could say that you're being needlessly obtuse or selfish by claiming that you should be able to call things "retarded" despite polite requests to stop. I could say that you're callously dismissive of disabled people who are asking for you to stop using the word "retarded" as an insult.

> And of course, in the end even talking about utility assumes the price someone is willing to pay reflects their utility gain. This is the most fundamental assumption in economics, but it's pretty clear that in the real world this is not the case. Especially for luxury goods such as air travel.

Why? I would expect luxury goods to reflect utility very accurately since they are not necessary purchases.

If you are paying $1k to go travel to Disney World, then that seems like a pretty good signal that the flight to Disney World gave you at least $1k worth of utility.
> It does take experience to guess whether it will matter or not...

Yes, but not an intractable amount of experience. There are very few ingredients for which inaccuracy of measurement yields a clear "pass or fail" to the dish. In most cases, you would just make a mental note to add more or less of whatever ingredient it was next time.

Accuracy-sensitive ingredients that come to mind are usually powerful spices like asafoetida, saffron, cloves, garlic. Or, in baking, leavening agents (which can usually be compensated for with time and temperature). There's not a lot of them.
