I am only comparing it to the Samsung. And for what it’s worth, I have not been buying cheap Samsung TVs. Also yes. You get what you pay for. But also, I have other reasons to not pay the Sony premium. I can actually mildly tolerate Android TV and its stupid home screen ads, for some reason, but having it shipped with my TV seems like a step too far, and that’s exactly what Bravia TVs do.

My only real option is to have a monitor and use that as a TV. But aside from a lot of other downsides, like no TV remote and a UX not designed to handle TV use cases, and builtin speakers that are just embarrassing, large monitors are also horridly expensive and the most likely to have extremely bad problems (like the horrible backlight bleed on some of the larger screen options from ViewSonic.)
Honestly the wetshaving (safety razor, brush, etc) community is also a wealth of knowledge for bang-for-your-buck shaving. It’s simple enough to get in, soak up the knowledge you need, get out. You don’t have to buy into the acquisition hype, and the community is generous enough that you can often get started for free on some decent basics.
Thank you for the education on the history here. That makes Plaid’s indignance about new competition even less palatable.
Last time I was in Delhi (about 5 years ago) there were still elevator operators. Not only completely useless to me as a user, but also taking up space preventing people getting in when it’s busy.
Probably helps to think of find as its own weird pipeline rather than a command with options. The first element of the pipeline is the directory(/directories), then `-type f` filters out all the non-files, then `-name '*.txt'` filters out everything which doesn't end in ".txt", etc. That also helps to remember why `-maxdepth` has to be right after the directory; it affects which files even become part of the pipeline, it doesn't make sense as a pipeline element.

The clearest proof that it's a pipeline is probably how it interacts with `-exec`: `find . -type d -exec echo {} \;` will print only directories, while `find . -exec echo {} \; -type d` will print both files and directories.

Regardless though, I sure wish they would let you specify the directories at the end.

I think the sentence is just sloppy and the author himself doesn't quite know if he's talking about characteristics of late capitalism or just current events which happen to be occurring in the context of late capitalism.
You spend time on doing heroin because you want to. It seems unproductive to tell yourself that you don't.
> Technology robbed workers’ of what had been highly valued physical knowledge about a job: the precise way to jimmy a stuck gear, the sound a machine makes when something’s about to break.

Quite the opposite, people used to be way more replaceable in the 80s than today. The real issue with the latest technology developments (say from the 80s) is that they require more and more cognitive skills to be adopted, which makes it harder to replace a worker while preventing a larger and larger part of the population from enjoying these productivity gains. This explains a large part of income inequality.
That's quite beside my point.
>Other examples of products that seem to exhibit a similar trend, where purported convenience leads to higher prices

>Cooking equipment: essentially indestructible Cast Iron skillets transition into teflon pans. The newer pans perform worse, and must be replaced on a shockingly regular basis. They also seem to be poisonous.

They have their uses. I wouldn't try frying eggs in a cast iron, for instance (technically you can, but it requires an absurd amount of oil). Also, claiming that they "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.

>Nespresso machines, and other coffee pod brands, replace many styles of coffee brewing. Provide much worse coffee, at a higher price but are superficially convenient.

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

>Televisions moving from being screens which accept input, to self contained 'smart' devices that require software updates and thus have a shortened useful lifespan.

I thought it was the other way around? ie. smart TVs are cheaper than dumb TVs because they're subsidized by ad revenue. Also, the claim itself doesn't really make any sense. Even if you stop getting software updates, that doesn't prevent you from using it as a dumb display.

I use a cast iron comal. I wash it in soapy water (no scourer!), same as any other pan. The only added hassle is drying it before putting it away. It's as goodnas a Teflon pan for non-stickness, but I don't have to eat Teflon or replace the pan. And it spreads the heat better.

Yes, I experimented with blades, I didn't think it would make any difference, but to my surprise it makes a huge difference. I still don't understand how there can be such a huge variance in the experience you get with different blades, it's not about the sharpness, they are all sharp.

To be honest, this is a negative point, because it takes time to experiment with blades, and it's extremely unlikely you will be able to find your favorite blades when you travel somewhere.

Practice undoubtedly helps, how much more more can I practice. I shave every other day. In fact, when I used disposables I shaved every day, and I wish I could still do that, but double edge blades are too harsh on my skin to be able to do that. After I shave, I need a day to heal. And this is with special creams and balms and alum blocks. With disposables I didn't even need to use any kind of after shave treatment at all.
I’d go 0 out 10. Waiting for taxi/uber/etc is still very much a thing.

+1 on the safety razor. I bought an Edwin Jagger model, a box of 100 Astra superior platinum blades, a nice brush and a tub of Arko soap. That was honestly over 5 years ago and I haven't spent a cent of shaving since then. I think I have 35 blades left. It's amazing how long they last. I'm really close to the end of the soap.
The schematic in the article shows trimpots controlling the 2 frequencies, so it was probably adjustable with a screwdriver.
The “once you use it correctly” is worth highlighting though.

I tried the double edge safety razor. Got the brush, shaving cream, big pack of Astra blades. Watched a bunch of YouTube videos on technique.

Spent way more time shaving. Nicked myself an ungodly number of times. Somehow got a worse shave out of it. Ended up going back to the cartridge razor.

I really want to be a double edge razor guy, but I was not able to make it up the learning curve.
In case you're curious, the differences basically stem from BSD and Solaris/POSIX having different command syntaxes, and GNU/Linux's ps command trying to implement both. `ps -ef` is the Solaris syntax, while `ps aux` is from BSD.
To me that sounds like you don’t use your dishwasher that often. Which is fine, good even. But the thing is, for me, the box of powder lasts like, multiple times longer. If a huge bag of pods lasted me a year, I can only imagine the powder would last three. Across the whole industry, the trivial increase in plastic waste instead of less cardboard waste is probably quite colossal, and all for basically nothing.
Yeah it is worth the investment.

Oh, hey! This is from the founder of Frontend Masters – easily the best FE resource I've ever found: https://frontendmasters.com/. Their content creation process is pretty nifty: they run live workshops regularly that subscribers can join, and the footage from the workshops ultimately gets cut and turned into the tutorials.

Had no idea who was behind it, but I love that they're still contributing back like this.

I wrote interactive 3D graphics programs in SGI IrisGL, the proprietary predecessor of OpenGL. At that time I considered it super easy because it was so high-level. Even so, as an experiment, I networked an Iris to a Lisp machine so I could write graphics code in Lisp and let the SGI machine render the output. Good times.

History tidbit: Jim Clark, the founder of SGI, invented the GPU which was what made SGI machines so fast at 3D.. Later he went on to found Netscape.

great article but I would strongly argue the 808 Kick is more distinctive than more cowbell.
I use an electric razor made by Philips and I shave dry once a day, although occasionally I skip a day. I am not a "werewolf" person, so I think I get away with this. If I had more aggressive beard growth, I'd probably want to do a wet shave and also maybe use a proper razor.
I have seen many times that the YC people say that so much of their decision to invest is based on the founders and not the idea. Always worth doing the interview if you still want to get in even with the new idea.

I remember a talk on YouTube where Ed Catmull (one of the founders of Pixar) said that if he was given a choice between a great idea and great people, he’d always choose great people because they would turn a not great idea into a great one.
That's the power of an ideology based on being offended, there's no way to be pleased.
I presume the author is referring to this blogpost[1]. The proposed name of the system is actually "Feudle", which might have made it harder to find for you.

The word "woke" did indeed not make an appearence, but this choice quote: "Eventually, all desirable content will move out of the anarchic slums and into this new, happy gated community. And junkies will be shooting up in the old Google building." His idea seems to have been that hierarchic—or "feudal"—arrangements would be preferrable to the "anarchic" ways of information indexing Google uses.

> I wouldn't try frying eggs in a cast iron, for instance (technically you can, but it requires an absurd amount of oil).

FWIW it's pretty easy to fry eggs in a cast iron. You do have to oil the pan, but I wouldn't call it absurd. Just a dollop of oil in the pan. And the end result has a crispy, yummy texture that's hard to achieve with Teflon. It just takes a little practice and an open mind.

The parameter names don't seem to match those of dd.

If you type man dd, the function of the tool will be described as "copy and convert". I can't find the video but there is an interview in which Kernighan, I think, explains that the tool should have been named cc but it was not possible because it was already taken by the c compiler.

> I wouldn't try frying eggs in a cast iron, for instance (technically you can, but it requires an absurd amount of oil)

Which means you need to do a better job at seasoning. Cast iron is used almost exclusively at my place and I use less than 1/2 TSp oil for eggs. Granted my newest skillets are made is 1930s.
>he should instantly know the pair if both numbers are prime

That should actually be "if the product of their respective smallest prime factors is over 100". 7x11 can't be ruled out since 1x77 also produces 77, whereas 49x17 and Nx53 can be ruled out.

You can also rule out some of the larger squares, e.g. 25x25 and 64x64, so there's probably still a better phrasing for that

Edit: Can also rule out 1xPrime

That's my experience as well. And if I don't go against the grain, I may not nick myself, but it doesn't result in a close shave at all. It feels like one day after I shave with a Mach3 which I can use against the grain.

I really want it to work, but it's literally a blood bath.
For honing I swear by the Coticule stone[1], you only need the one stone as you can vary the grit. Tip: the non-rectangular stones are just as good and a fraction of the price.

A big reason I bought the Sharp TV is because it has Android TV built in. When it's disconnected from the internet (I haven't connected it to the internet except once to update the firmware), it behaves just like a monitor. Turn it on, it fast-boots in 3 seconds and displays HDMI1 (the last input I selected).

The irritation might simply result from how close that particular shaver gets.

I cook eggs on cast iron every morning. I do almost all my cooking on cast iron, including crepes on occasion. Proper seasoning and maintenance makes a huge difference.

I bought the majority of my cast iron 20 years ago for about $25 and it'll likely outlast me.
> I can expect a random React dev to mostly do similar things.

This has not been my experience. Even experienced software devs will differ stylistically, but intermediate devs often come up with very different ideas about how things ought to work. I suspect this is due to wide variance in awareness of different libraries/platform features/stylistic patterns/etc, a consequence of being in a relatively unregulated industry.

I have worked for companies using React since 2014 and no 2 projects have had the same layout. My current and previous employers have had the closest codebases, but only in terms of directory structure, and even now the current one is changing to become quite different (in a way I think is good, but only time will tell).
Practical answer: sign it and ignore it. If you create an "innovation" that you're going to do something with, quit and wait the three months before making it public.

What specifically are you worried will happen?

I don't like the clause, but I've found usually it's not worth the effort and stress to push back on this kind of thing, unless you have a very specific concern.
Basically, you can run code in the zkVM, which looks like a normal RISC-V machine, but it generates a cryptographic proof/receipt of correct execution, so you can trust the code was run correctly (presuming the receipt verifies), even if you don't trust the machine that ran it at all. But the actual receipt 1) Doesn't get much bigger as execution time of the zkVM goes up 2) Doesn't leak anything about what happened during execution except for the what the program running in the zkVM explicitly logs to the journal.
Interesting there’s cover art for books, but it would be handy to have spine art too.

I used to buy lots of books and now have them stacked up, I’ve bought lots of eBooks and whilst I don’t trip up on them I don’t get into the habit of progressing them. From Physics I’ve set up collections for books I’ve got to 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% which roughly works out as equal, and I have the little triumph of moving a book forward.
I don't think C makes this especially cumbersome, most languages make it somewhat complicated to do format-printing (or string concatenation) into a stack-allocated buffer if it's big enough or fall back to heap-allocating a buffer if the stack buffer is too small.

The argument that you should just heap-allocate because it usually doesn't matter in contexts where you'd spawn a process anyways is a much better argument though. Still, I find the `{"whatever", "--config-file", config_file}` approach much more elegant.
Aside from the significant cost benefit, double edge razors are functionally better at cutting - particularly three-day growth.

I find cartridge razors will clog up well before they lose sharpness. Double edge razors, on the other hand, are easily cleared.
Ah, thanks for the plug!! I did this as a fun little weekend project, glad people are finding it useful as a reference of how simple vanilla JS can be these days. :-)
Police brutality is the direct effect of a state trying to uphold it's monopoly for violence. This monopoly in turn is (in the current situation) neccessary to uphold the expolitation of labour and the functioning of the state itself.
Of course this is not exlusive to the capitalist system. The expropriation of serfs in feudalist societies through the armed forces of nobility serves a similiar purpose under a different economic and political system.
Just the same as capitalism has a tangible effect on how the pandemic is dealt with. Where I live for example there were multiple cases of industrial workers (often migrants working for a few month and then returning to their home country) contracting the virus en masse, which in turn had a lot to do with overcrowded houses and flats where they were forced to live.
I think that is a great advice and insight. An addiction can not bo tackled when your drug is all around you.

What I did: I took the sim card from my smartphone, put it into a dumb phone. So I had no internet during my 30min work commute (train/bus). Then I took a book with me. And I read it.
I started this last year in October and I'm at my 9th book now, mostly only reading them during commute.

Another insight for me was: don't do read text books for the sake of "reading more". Go for the type of literature you like, how unintellectual it might be. For me its pretty much any best selling novel.
This and previous recon footage has really demonstrated what can be done with cheap off-the-shelf tech. This is probably quite alarming for the military and security services of all countries...
I have never put the least bit of thought or effort into frying eggs in cast iron over, say, stainless. It is a better non-stick surface overall. Teflon is gross, do you really want to risk breathing the fumes and eating even more plastic?
What most people fail to realize is that nature isn't humanoid in any capacity. I've lived long enough and seen enough synchronicities to know that reality is far more entangled than a cause and effect standpoint would have you believe. But nature being quite tightly coupled instead of locally isolated, doesn't mean nature has a humanoid intent. It just means that everything is connected. If the universe is a spider web, it doesn't do us any favors to assume we are being taken care of by some benevolent spider.

This video is the world we live in. It's difficult to watch a komodo dragon eat a pregnant deer. But I challenge you to watch this, because this is what reality actually is:
https://youtu.be/oHJuzE0k1V8

Reality is intimately connected through time and space. Reality is beautiful, dark, ruthless, dreary but it is not kind.

Living as if nature is kind does not end well.
The assignment (=) is missing from those const declarations, except for the first one; I guess they were hastily converted from function declarations to satisfy modern tastes.
A circle doesn't contain infinite information, because there is a finite string of symbols that we can write that completely describe it. The question is, what symbols are we working with, and how can we combine them? That leads to the definition of a language, and the Chomsky hierarchy of languages comes into play, with Turing-complete languages as the sine-qua-non. Then Kolmogorov comes along and says "The ultimate measure of information in a string is the size of the smallest Turing machine that can compute the string".
I use pods because, of the options available at my grocery store, the only ones available that I know won't etch glass are sold as pods.
I have no idea as I don't use the cartridges myself but I think the point is to keep them away from moisture so a closed container with ethanol or food grade oil or whatever would probably work as well.
> Yeah, I call BS. Back in 2010 the word 'woke' (as an adjective) was practically unknown outside of AAVE and had no negative connotation.

My understanding of that passage was that the author was paraphrasing Yarvin - who from my understanding is somewhat of a monarchist? I remember his moldbug persona from the blog-o-sphere back in the mid/late aughts as someone who would write long meandering posts in the comment section of pickup artist blog; which ironically is where much of this alt-right stuff started. Kind of (darkly) funny that lot of the intellectual scaffolding for this new authoritarian political philosophy is a at its root a visceral reaction to feelings of powerlessness and lack of agency in dating women.
