Generally for protecting wiring you need circuit breakers which will operate without relying on software.
That would depend on their opinion. They way I see it, there are two option:

I struggle with exactly the same problem; reading (and also playing the piano in my case) feels like a low value-generating activity. My time is more and more limited over the years, and I find myself needing to ruthlessly prioritize how I spend it. This has led to a constant re-evaluation of my values, and have roughly concluded (atm) that instead of reading, I should be sleeping, socializing with friends and family, exercising, outputting/hacking around for fun, or learning about something at work that can make my workweek easier. Or just decompressing cognitively, sometimes in the form of time-restricted TV/games.

Ultimately, after having read/listened to ~200 mostly non-fiction and fantasy books in the past several years, the ROI is non-zero but not that high relative to the other activities mentioned. I think this is partly a byproduct of the times and the culture I'm in (mid-career engineer in silicon valley), where priorities shift a lot towards career and financial successes. Personal output tied to network, skills, and work has a much larger influence on these priorities over a much shorter time frame than reading arbitrary books. If I lived somewhere else or didn't have money needs, I can see my priorities shifting more towards reading. It's not ideal, but I've come to accept this reality. Reading isn't something I have to do, nor is it always the most rewarding activity.

I try to still read every now and then, especially if there is a focused book aligned with my immediate interests, but I've also come to accept the fact that I may not finish a lot of books and that's okay.

I've also come to believe that most books have too many words for my taste given the relative paucity of ideas, and I'm under no obligation to read every word just because an author wrote it. I need to be my own editor of the content I consume; outsourcing this to the writers/publishers makes less and less sense. If I'm bored, I skip a chapter or three. Or I may read a synopsis online and if it is interesting, then I dive deeper. I have to prioritize how I read, not just how much I read. I actually find this makes the reading experience more enjoyable since I spend less time on the parts that feel "boring".

(I have the same attitude to TV/movies; some episodes are not a great use of my time so I scene skip and increase playback speeds).

I've also found myself listening to more audiobooks instead of reading. This is particularly helpful when I drive, do late-night stretches, or cook and it doesn't consume additional time.

I wish circumstances were different and I could just go outside in the shade of a tree and read all day, but at least at this point in my life letting go of the pressure to read definitely has had more stress-relieving effects than actually reading.
There are a number of FOSS solutions.

- https://github.com/google/OpenSK <- DIY solution

- https://solokeys.com/

- https://www.nitrokey.com/

The issue with any FOSS solution is that FIDO requires an attestation private key, which must be shared between a batch of at least 100,000 security keys. Using a DIY or cli app solution (application running on the host) will likely mean you'll be generating that private key yourself, this makes you identifiable across registrations.

Some sites (Cloudflare) may reject the use of attestation keys which are not found on the Fido Alliance Metadata Service. This precludes the use of any DIY solution.

I have a straight razor that uses replaceable blades (they're half-blades, not the double-sided mentioned in the article). I've been using it exclusively for the last 10 years. I'm only just now getting to the bottom of my original box of 100 blades.
As I became older I found that the fancy multi-blade razors don’t give as good a shave as the safety razor (called double edge in the blog post). The blades are just too flimsy.

The biggest advantage of the flimsy multi-blades is that groggy morning shavers are less likely to cut themselves (but at the cost of being less likely to get a complete shave). In this regard they are good for kids.

And what’s the deal with shaving cream? For my whole shaving life I have just used the same soap I use to wash the rest of myself.

Funny side note: webcams are almost all pretty terrible. I switched to using an iPhone as an external webcam (I use the camo app to make this work) and now it’s clear whether I have a good shave or not. Luckily most of the time I don’t care :-)
No you can’t provide a worse service to those that reject.

So you show the service, with untracked ads. That’s it.

And if that doesn’t pay the bills, then you change business model or shut down shop. It’s not complicated.
I get what you're saying, that the vaccinated set of people are less healthy. But is that true?

He is breaking it up by age too. He actually excludes older age group for that reason:

> Above 80, the UK data was too confounded to be useful.

We know that the stats definition, collection, etc have been politicised, and that it's hard to get straightforward data. Given that what we are provided is murky, I can't think of a better/simpler way to evaluate statistics than a simple death tally, where the only differentiating factor he is accounting for is vaccination.
You can extend the life of the blade by stropping it (reverse blade stroke) on a towel. And just use hot water, no creams or brushes.

Unless you have a lot of hair you're trying to shave, in which case clippers can quickly get it down to make shaving easier.
Stainless is hands down the best fried eggs I've ever had. It and maybe carbon steel is the only thing that gets hot enough to make it crispy.

You just need to let the pan heat up, drop a teaspoon of oil or butter, let if soak in a second then blast it and drop your egg.

More butter more better but that's flavour at that point.

For figuring out if your plans at the right heat, a spalsg of water should bead and float around.

Going that hot with Teflon will give you the Teflon flu.

Only thing I use nonstick for is scrabled eggs and pancakes where a low heat is beneficial.
Something for Nothing – Rube Goldberg (1940)
Same for me, switched to a safety razor, a shaving brush and shaving soap few years ago and never looked back. Disposable razors and disposable shaving cream are real waste of resources and money.

> being put on trial is a violation of your human rights?

Oh, certainly not. A fair trial, however, is probably impossible.

However, what I usually comment on is that there is a large enough corpus of evidence to indicate that he's being tortured.

Regardless of everything else I believe about the case: his human rights are certainly being suspended for now; if I ever talk about that then people are quick to point out that he assisted in the rise to power of Trump; as if that invalidates his human rights.

Regardless of what you believe (IE: I'm not happy about Trump either) you shouldn't be so quick to repeal peoples rights, and that's what people are doing, and that's what I'm commenting on.

https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3160861/torturi...

I could go on-and-on about how he was hounded and character assassinated, but you wouldn't believe me because thats the very nature of character assassination.

I would like him to stand trial, but I suspect it cannot be a fair trial. Sham trials are very common, I wouldn't consider them to be an indicator that your human rights are not being eroded.

You sign up directly with the relying party and are authenticating to a hardware device which then OKs you to the relying party. Each relying party gets a different public key. The corresponding private keys can be stored inside the secure enclave (this setup is called resident keys), or they can be stored in a "key handle" that the relying party stores and provides every time you attempt a login. The key handle would contain the service-specific private key encrypted with a key held inside the secure enclave.
The Time Trap of Productivity
Because of this I started using an electric beard trimmer with really low trim length (0.4mm). It does not result in a clean shave but close enough (and I don't look like a teenager).

But the best part: You pay once 60-100 bucks and can keep using it for a few years (in my case 7 years as I just had to replace my old one).

The `-z` on extract is not needed on basically most modern tar implementations (OpenBSD's is I believe the one outlier). tar -xf foo.tar.gz (or .xz, .bz2, .zst, etc.) will work, auto detect the archive type and extract.
> To my knowledge they're only poisonous during manufacturing (ie. the precursor chemicals) and when they get too hot.

Teflon pans kill birds unfortunately. Once you live with a bird, you can’t have any hot teflon in the house because it releases toxic fumes. Fine for a human because we’re large animals, smol birds reach lethal levels within minutes.

There’s stories of people turning on an air fryer and their pet bird dropping dead in another room.
I have liked the Hexclad pans. Similar nonstick properties to Teflon but it has no chemicals and no annoying maintenance like cast iron. They seem to last quite well (and have a lifetime warranty). Only downside is they cost a bit more but it is well worth it.
That is a lot of fun, great job!

You might think of adding a link or two for each book. Say to the Wikipedia entry for the author, or a review of the book. I was curious about the, "Demon Cycle" for instance, and would have liked to read more about it.

Until a software update on your media player means you need a display with a different DRM. No matter what display you use, the media transfer method to that display (DVD/VGA/HDMI/Wifi etc) will probably be obsolete before the display itself goes dark.
> Princeton [..] bastions of WASP culture and tradition

I agree with the bulk of your comment, but it's scary how disconnected from reality stereotypes can get. The Ivy League is no WASP bastion (and Princeton is no exception) - per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30338742, their non-international students are:

That’s what I do as well - a beard trimmer without any guards. I always struggled with ingrown hairs after shaving, both with cartridges and with a safety razor.

I do it once a week. I have a full 5 o’clock shadow on the first day and a pretty short beard on the last, but I don’t like how much of a waste of time shaving or trimming is so I deal with it.
Is there a good “blog search” out there?
There are certain keywords that are dominated by SEO optimization to the point that it is difficult to find results that are from other sources than a corporate website. Often the results I find most useful are the ones created by individuals in their "spare time" that they post on their blogs.

Is there a good "blog search" out there?

Is there currently something like Google Blog Search out there?

My experience with eggs is the opposite. Eggs stick when added to a cold pan. Letting the pan get really hot first has stopped eggs sticking for me.
Who is “we”?

It’s not surprising or creepy that people focus on what they actually can control.

None of us realistically can change the fact that America is built around roads. Not everyone can work from home.

People drive not because they want to, but because they have to. Criticizing that is a highly privileged take.
My Fiverr Due Diligence
When I look into a company, I like to make a simple model about its situation and future. As simple as possible. To carve out the main investment hypothesis behind a potential investment.

Here are my thoughts for Fiverr:

Fiverr's revenue has been growing for about 50% YoY for the last 4 years and was $298M in 2021.

They state that cost of revenue was $52M so they had a nice 83% gross margin and $246M gross profits.

Their net income was -$65M mostly because they spent $159M on marketing.

According to their shareholder letter, they get about $1 in same-year revenue for every $1 they spent on marketing. And then about $1 every year. Probably because the customers who stay on spend more, so they make up for the churn. At least for the short time they are around, average yearly spent per customer has stayed roughly flat.

Given this retention and the high gross margin makes it very likely, that those marketing dollars are well spent. As the marketing investment has a positive ROI after 2 years already.

Ok, let's look into the future.

Say their growth in the next 5 years will be 25%, half of what it was over the last 4 years. Then revenue would be $298*1.25^5 = $909M. If their gross margin would still be 83%, then their gross profit would be around $755M. Let's imagine they stopped all marketing at that point. And let them burn another $100M on fixed costs. Then we are at $655M earnings.

Give that a pe ratio of 10 and the market cap would be $6.6B.

Right now, their market cap is $1.73B

Going from $1.73B to $6.6B in 5 years is a ROI of 31%.

Not too shabby. I don't see what could go wrong. I think I'm in!

What are your thoughts? Am I missing something?
Your application form is broken :(

That's true, however we don't have exact control on every aspect of our lives. I'd love to walk, bike or use mass transportation to go to work, however it's very impractical (~2 hours vs. 20 minutes), but I have more control over consumption of other things in my life.

So, I can do my best on areas which I have most control, and do whatever I can on the areas with less control, and if you ask me, it's better than nothing.

> To my knowledge they're only poisonous during manufacturing

Well, alright then.

> and when they get too hot

Oh… I dunno, but this seems to be a fairly likely failure mode for a pan.
Ha! I figured this out 30 years ago and only buy the cheap disposable razors and shave after I shower without any shaving cream. The hot water loosens up your beard enough to “dry shave”. I have a trimmer if it gets long. I maybe spend $10/year on shaving.
Thanks a lot for the explanation! It never occured to me that there might be more to links in angle brackets than personal style or habit of a commenter.
`ssh -p` specifies a port number. `scp -p`/`sftp -p` copies the mtime. You need to use -P for the latter two.
Don’t they pack them in a nitrogen atmosphere so they don’t oxidize during storage?
I have bought and tried pretty much any brand of blades i could find online. Surprisingly enough when talking with owners of shaving specialist shop the owner said many people prefer duller blades. Its supposed to not irritate the skin so much and take all the moisture out.

I also prefer Feather blades the most but they are expensive compared to rest. When i was looking for alternative funnily enough the next sharpest (and a lot cheaper) was... Gillette blades. They have few different lines and some of them come close to Feather. Now i am torn when buying blades if i cheap out and buy Gillette or go for Feather... (95% of time i support the Japanese :))
what do you do with the angle grinder?
I do pancakes on cast iron and love it.
Regarding default ps output: remember how people were using Unix in the old days. Logged in via a text terminal on a multiuser system, 99% the only processes you care about are those associated with the current terminal, and that's what ps shows by default. You might have half a dozen backgrounded programs running in that terminal, but that's about it.

Now, my X sessions always have a dozen xterms running and plain ps isn't very useful, but it might break scripts if they changed it...
That's maybe step 4. Step one is going to home depo to find a food-safe angle grinder disk.
Here is a larger compendium of mathematical proofs that are formally proved all the way back to ZFC axioms using classical logic, namely the Metamath Proof Explorer:

Metamath lets you state your axioms including your logic system, so there are other Metamath proof databases that make different assumptions.
I ditched pods some time ago and use powder now. I had an issue that occurred almost every time I used the dishwasher (with pods), it left things slightly smelly. Nothing major, other people didn’t really notice it but for me it was a major source of frustration. Powder got rid of the smell, and now I am a happy man. I can pick a glass from the cabin and it doesn’t smell like anything. Wish I had learned this 10 years ago when we got our first dishwasher, and it’s cheaper too!
If Apple made the transition to OS X in a position of strength, like the one it enjoys today, I think it may had imposed a pattern and rewritten tar, ps, dd, etc.

To be fair I do not think of the proposed search as particularly “feudal”. He is basically just describing what people do by appending “Reddit” to their Google searches. I think Yarvin diagnoses partt if the problem correctly, but misses (1) the massive amount of money that can be generated from paid manipulation of rankings (by Google or others), and (2) the adversarial environment this creates.

I had to switch to a dual edge razor because of skin problems: I had a not so good combination of soft face skin and hard beard hairs. The multi blade razors are a scam, because you pass 4-5 blades at once on the skin instead of one, that will make your face all red. Oh, the shaving foam it’s expensive as week, but not even close to a real shaving soap in quality.

The power of marketing!
For comparison, this is my experience:

1. Easily available at every grocery store for half the price of pods

2. I just leave the spout open and it's fine

3. It doesn't clump

4. Occasionally the door does fail to close but I quickly brush it off

The dishes are perfectly clean after a normal program, whereas the pods required me to use a three hour power wash program for the same result.
This looks great!

Could you make it a web app? I don't want to install apps on my phone for security/privacy reasons.

Since your domain has an extra (and a little hard-to-see) Z in it, you have to find some way to make people very aware of that. Perhaps you could make your logo that makes the middle z capitalized and in a contrasting color (I had to do italics here instead):

sizzzle.app vs sizZzle.app vs sizZzle.app

Or just pick a different name if you're not already all-in on this one, especially since it's not a .com.. for example, zizzle.app seems to be available, but always check USPTO's TESS to make sure you're not stepping on a federally registered trademark, too.

You probably want to use a wrought iron pan for that. They can be really cheap (starting from less than 10€), are indestructible (they don’t break if you drop them) and can be much thinner than cast iron. They are better for eggs, where you want to change the temperature during frying very quickly.

There's always a huge focus on speed in these type of articles, and rightfully so for most applications.

However, I often find myself in situations where I care neither about speed nor any other of the traditional performance metrics (memory consumption, latency, bandwidth, parallelizability, etc ...).

In these situations, what I actually care about is:

a) code size (as in: fits compiled in 512 bytes)

b) code simplicity (as in: fits in head, takes up around 20 C++ LOC)

Very unfortunately, there are very, very few algorithms that are designed to optimize along these lines.

Exceptions:

TEA : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Encryption_Algorithm

Speck: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speck_(cipher)

Both of these are ciphers, and both can be perverted into becoming hashes for various scenarios.

But, there aren't any compression or native crypto-hard hashing algorithms that I know of that are specifically designed to optimize along that particular dimension.

Blake3 or zstd are large pieces of code.
I think you're confusing terms. A safety razor exposed no more of the blade than a cartridge razor. I think you're probably referring to a straight razor.
