The key words here are can be. Some mathematics articles are high quality, but most are somewhere between completely inadequate and blandly mediocre. If you click through all of the math-related wiki-links in even the best mathematical articles, at least half of them are going to be a disappointment. Many articles are little more than a dry definition. In general articles are missing context, history, proofs, figures, references, .... Topics that dozens of top mathematicians focused decades-long careers on, for which there are multiple hundreds-of-pages-long excellent textbooks and dozens of papers describing the historical development, have a few measly paragraphs of text and no figures. Some high-level articles contain little more than a bullet list of wiki links. Biographies of mathematicians (except for a few exceptional famous people) generally have little to no mathematical content, and do not put work in context. Mathematicians writing in English (and some older ones in German/French) get coverage but there are huge gaps in biographies of e.g. Soviet mathematicians.

The best coverage is probably of the content of typical secondary school / undergraduate math curriculum. But even then articles are often full of lists of trivia while neglecting motivation and central ideas.

The same is true for many other parts of Wikipedia though. Writing good Wikipedia articles takes a ton of work (research, organizing, writing, revising, drawing figures, building consensus with other editors, ...), and is a distributed volunteer effort, so the quality of material that does make it online is still surprisingly impressive.
It's running ChromeOS with the Linux dev system installed. I did last year's Advent of Code in Clojure on this device, including some airplane trips. (I didn't solve every puzzle, but the limitation on the ones I didn't get was me, not the Chromebook. It runs Emacs, cider, and the Clojure REPL just fine.)

I'm typing on it right now and it's fine for casual use. (It gets a fair amount of weekend use because I neither want to undock my work laptop nor carry around something that large, expensive, and heavy.)

Would I run it as my only computer if $500 wouldn't pressure my family finances? Probably not. If my choice was between this and nothing, that's an even easier choice.
Shaving. It's not a religion. It's easy to experiment.

1. Don't shave. Grow a wild and wooly beard.

2. Electric clippers. For that permanent five o'clock shadow look.

3. Electric shaver. Easy.

4. Cartridge + foam. Smooth.

5. Double edge safety razor. Very smooth. Requires some skill.

6. Straight edge razor. Super smooth? No idea personally.

7. Laser. Also no idea personally.

What this article completely misses, is that there are more than two options.

I personally switch it up depending on what I am doing that day.

There is no right way to shave.
You'd be better off comparing to a pentium M. If you put 100 netburst cores on a single die, it would melt

[edit] or Maybe a Core-2 as that was 64-bit. E7500 with 3MB of cache was dual-core with 228M transistors, which puts you at 40 cores with 60MB of cache for 5B transistors.
> the 15M number would have been much higher

And what proof do you have of that? Covid still spread like wildfire even with the heavy-handed responses. Hence why most western countries vaccinated then just gave up once Omicron hit. Covid's still here, the numbers are still higher than in early waves, yet restrictions are gone in most countries and life goes on.

It's not hard to believe that 11M of the 15M number was caused by 100M+ being added to those in extreme poverty, plus the effects on those who were already that poor. Versus thinking actual Covid deaths were undercounted by 3.5X...
It's not about "closer shave." Electric razors never get close enough for me. Complete areas of my face they do nothing to and it just causes irritation on my skin. Frustrating, takes way too long vs my DE razor.

> (expense, waste, time/effort, mess, cuts/removing skin, ingrown hairs).

Eh, shaving isn't that hard. I know we've gotten lazy but holy crap. A DE shave never results in any of that for me. Shower, lather, apply, shave. 5 minutes.
Another example is dishwasher detergent. I can rarely find the powdered stuff anymore. And even the gel is being pushed out in place of pods. I bought new detergent last week and the shelf was full of pods with only a couple options for gel.
I'll add another minor reason: `--foo="bar"` (with quotes) relies on the quoting/splitting behavior of the shell, which is easy to forget.

For example, someone might write:

args = [cmd, f'--foo="{foo}"']

and expect the surrounding quotes to be stripped off, but that'll only happen if the spawn goes through a shell first. Some argument parsers may also try to strip quotes off, but I don't believe there's any consistent behavior guaranteed around that.

Wait and hope somewhere like the EU forces Apple to open up the software/store restrictions has seemed the most realistically hopeful path to me. Alternatives are wait for someone to find a way to hack the bootloader open and add Asahi support for it (for this and every device that comes out for the rest of time). Or Apple to allow the bootloader to be opened like they do on the PC counterparts but obviously that's not what Apple wants to do or they wouldn't have released the M1 iPad fully locked.

Humans have an obsession with preservation of things as they are. We can certainly learn from history and appreciate it, but fighting to "preserve" things is ultimately a pointless endeavor. We are a tiny blip in the history of the Earth and fighting to preserve everything is just fighting the inevitability of the course of time, fighting nature itself.

>but shaving with 4-blade cartridge designed for easy shaving is still 'miles' ahead compared to shaving with double-edged razor

What is/are the things you prefer with the cartridge? For me, I switched to the double edge a long time ago, and didn't really notice a whole lot of difference in what it does, but a big difference in price. I keep a cartridge for getting under my nose, but doesn't need to be replaced very often. For everything else I really don't notice a difference in shaving. I don't shave every day, so my razor tends to get clogged, and the double edged can be disassembled and cleaned in a couple of seconds while shaving. The cartridges can't really be cleaned out at all which leads to premature replacement and costing a lot more $$. Even when I did shave every day, I found I would try to suck every dime out of the cartridge, so I'd end up using a worse blade anyway.

I actually tried switching to a straight razor. Found it requires a lot more skill than I'm willing to put in to learning. But it appeals to me as the ultimate in reusability.

You can get a box of 100 Astra superior platinum double edge blades for £8 on Amazon last time I got them. Something like the Fatip Picolo is a quality razor that will last you 5+ years. It cost me £15 plus shipping.

DE shaving is also better for your skin by a wide margin. It also gives a closer shave. I can’t recommend anything more highly.

However you may get sucked into the rabbit hole and DE shaving can become a hobby and suddenly you have a Muhle SS [1] that cost you £120 together with 100 different shaving soaps that cost £10-20 each and ultra fine ultra thick shave brushes that can cost £80

I like to see it this way: A shell /wraps/ the kernel. You cannot issue system calls directly, but a program that handles user input generically (and ideally dynamically), can do this for you. A desktop environment, Emacs, and to an increasing degree web browsers are all different "shells".

> Also, claiming that [PFAS] "seem to be poisonous" without any qualifiers is a little misleading. To my knowledge they're only poisonous during manufacturing (ie. the precursor chemicals) and when they get too hot.

It’s a bit difficult to exactly measure the effects of PFAS and how much of it makes it poisonous—when a study sought a control group of people without any in their blood for a study, they were not able to find a single living person on this planet that fits the definition anymore—but even with what we know the author is likely significantly understating that particular point[0].

Even if we ignore the poison released into the environment during manufacturing, I am yet to see a used Teflon pan that has no scratches (and that’s just the ones visible with naked eye). Combine with the fact that non-Teflon pans are becoming nearly impossible to find in many retail stores, and it becomes somewhat concerning.

Yea... it was unfortunate that so many people focused on that instead of the general problem and now we are barreling toward a very bad outcome. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what wealthy people do - they're going to be just fine regardless of what the rest of us do, except that if we kick and scream about their big houses and refuse to do anything we just wind up inheriting the problem and they're still right where they started. I somewhat feel this way about abortion - like I can afford to move my family or fly a family member somewhere to get one. Can you? Might want to think about that.

The other issue is that focusing on something like this megamansion (as grotesque as it is anyway - seriously a lot of these rich people are just tasteless losers) leads down to a never ending condition where you just never do enough to satisfy people who have no interest in changing their habits anyway.

If Gore sold his megamansion they'd say "hey you are still flying", if he stopped flying they'd say "hey you're still driving a car", if he stopped driving a car they say "hey you're not growing your own vegetables", if he started growing his own vegetables they'd say "hey the tools you use come from a carbon emitting supply chain" and if he stopped using tools and made his own they'd just keep on and on and on forever until we get global warming anyway and so many people are screwed. There's no genuine interest in solving the problem, they just want to distract you.
In the 1970s the pressing issue of the time was that everyone thought over population was going to mean we were gonna run out of food (see: The Population Bomb, Soylent Green). The troubling slant to the discussion of course was that it wasn't our growth that was the problem but elsewhere in the global south.

Of course we didn't starve to death and this fear was completely unfounded.

The problems we face today of course have nothing to do with that. They stem rather from excessive CO2 emissions, and these emissions are dominated by rich nations with relatively small populations. This could have been limited and prevented in the 1970s but people made other choices.

It's possible that there is some point where over population is a real problem, but that is not now, and we can solve our most pressing problems in other ways.

I don’t think it’s objectively true that 4 blades is a better experience.

For me, and many many others who have tried both, eg in the subreddit for DE shaving, DE is much better for a) your skin and b) getting a close shave.

Your hair doesn’t need 4 blades running across it. It just needs one sharp blade over it.

Fair it may take one or two shaves to “get used” to the new way of shaving but that is only because most people start on 4-blade.

I have been using the classic double edge shaver for a decade now. It's as shiny as the day I bought it. I use a blade about every couple of weeks (my facial hair is kind of "average" I would guess). I shave every 2 or 3 days. I think I use one blade every couple of weeks. It's extremely cheap. If interested I have a Parker brand long handle (do no like the short handle versions) and I use dove soap as my "lubricant". There is no reason to use those money pit plastic polluter, 20 blades. I hear Merkurs are pretty good too. I use cheap Shark brand blades that a 100 pack lasts me basically forever, but I'm sure there are other great brands as well.

There was a great Reddit thread where a young lady (UK) told her dad she was training to be a nurse, and he assumed (like how things worked in his time, in his profession), she'd be working at a hospital soon. She had to explain that ... no, she has to do two years in a classroom, then internships, paying for it and all her expenses from non-nursing income, before she gets to that stage.

The dad was dumbfounded at how that was even possible.

>Why are they only superficially convenient? They seem pretty convenient to me.

Because it is absurdly easy to make a pot of coffee, if you want a single cup just adjust the amount of water and coffee.

There is also instant coffee. Which can be better than Keurig.

It's not to say that there is 0 convenience its just barely so and not really worth the added cost and waste. Also if you happen to be the one that has to refill the water or wait on it to heat it's no more convenient than any other option.

Also the coffee sucks.
For a long time I found the single biggest difference between them to be:

Even the best TVs had atrocious latency compared to cheap monitors. I don’t really know why this is, but it likely has something to expensive transformations to the video signal to “improve” quality. I have very pricy 1080p Samsung TV from 2013. Even in “Game Mode” I has latency of over 100ms. This enough to be noticeable in just moving a mouse around, let alone gaming.

That has been mostly rectified nowadays. I have an LG C1 (42”) and use it for gaming and work. It has <1ms average latency and just enough pixel density for computer use. It does need a good desk though.

The biggest remaining differences would be:

- TVs tend to have a “smart interface”. This can generally be avoided if you are just switching between inputs.
- TVs tend not to support DisplayPort input.
- TVs tend require large desk stands and are not VESA compatible. You need a large desk to use one as a monitor.
- Very few TVs with high quality panels are available in smaller more pixel dense sizes. I’m imagining this will become less of a problem with a move to 8k.
- TVs tend to have almost unusable colour calibration out of the box. Rtings reviews tends to note how close the displays get to a standard colour profile after calibration. Many can be calibrated to a reasonable level though.
- OLED panels are much more common in TVs.
What narrative is that? Is it untrue? I don’t need the New York Times to remind me that North Dakota and South Dakota get twice as many Senators as my very large and populace state.
The only reason the parliament even meets in Strasbourg is because France was upset. Because Brussels was chosen as the seat of the EU instead of Paris.
