cool sites?
I think there’s significant sampling bias at play.

When you’re talking with someone in person, it’s probably because of some relationship you have to them (neighbors, friends, school or work relationships).

Online interactions are much more self-selecting, meaning I’d expect people in those conversations to be more passionate about the topic(s).

If someone is disinterested in a topic in real life, you get an obvious signal of their disinterest. If someone is disinterested online, they dematerialize and are replaced by an online NPC who is, on average, quite a bit more interested than the typical person.
So, a redesign that looks better to the designer and sacrifices critical functionality.

Web users: "Welcome to our world."
It really isn't. You might have to wait a bit but you can get your DICOM in the us just fine and without exorbitant fees.
Unfortunately a modern receiver is worth the money.

A modern one will have Bluetooth and Wifi connection, so you can stream and control music direct from your phone or computer in another room.

On the TV side, a modern receiver probably has built in chromecast. It will support eArc so your TV can control the receiver directly - when watching TV you don't need to use the receiver remote at all, it will switch sources and be able to change volume with the TV.

The good thing about this kind of setup, if you're interested in it, is that you can buy some speakers that you really like, and they will never be obsolete; but you will need to replace the receiver occasionally (maybe every 10 years).

The UX on all AVRs is always the same and always dreadful though. People who buy them buy them for featureset not UX, which I guess is why it hasn't really improved.
> Doesn't such power fly in the face of a share representing ownership, if that ownership can be unilaterally diminished?

Yes, that's why phrases such as "corporate raiding" exist. Minority ownership interests in enterprises aren't as well protected generally as majority ownership. Legal cases can drag on for years with no relief.
To emphasize, it does not matter. Let's say we have some great new technology that enables us to get electricity for a tenth of what it currently costs. It just means miners will be willing to use 10 times more electricity to mine for a given amount of reward (and, for the umpteenth time, block rewards, transaction fee, whatever, doesn't matter - the BTC they get in return for being the first to mine a block).

Indeed, this is the whole idea behind specialized mining rigs. These rigs essentially lower the cost of electricity for a given hash rate.

But assuming other miners have access to the same equipment, in the competitive system that is proof-of-work they will just bump up their usage of electricity until the point that, again, it no longer makes sense for them to do so because they'd be spending more than the rewards that they get in return.
A lot of things I don't buy super often, I just remember the packaging or color and not the brand name. In this case, I'd remember the orange with the straw and a green logo, maybe. In fact, before opening the article, I knew about the OJ with that image, but no idea it was Tropicana.

So if I liked that brand, and went in and couldn't find that image, I'd probably just pick something at random.
Slight bit of additional context for those who can't be bothered to click the link at all: Shelf Stories is presented by a doctor of psychology who uses that lens to examine his primary hobby of physical games. As a game designer and programmer/implementer: I'm much more inclined to trust him on the psychology side and he usually gets how things relate to games pretty well too.
AFAIK no one lost their domains when that happened. IIRC there was even an opportunity to move from a third level domain to a matching second level domain.

That’s a lot different than having a TLD disappear along with all the domains.
Matt's understanding of M&A is... a little shallow. An MAE or MAC is about something changing between the time of the deal being signed and actually closing.

There doesn't need to be an MAE or MAC for a deal to fall through if a representation the target makes is false. In this specific case Musk can walk if any of the reps & warranties are false (or any of the covenants are breached).
It still works fine, just not officially encouraged by Intel
Out of curiosity I looked into the numbers for this. As of 2017, there were 700,000 Americans in India. As of 2018, there were 4.2 million Indians in the US. Dividing by population, that means ~0.2% of Americans are in India and ~0.3% of Indians are in America.
Thank you, I completely missed that. I am not surprised at that attitude given how badly run of a project HA is.
> But mass immigration of low educated individuals is not good, they won't integrate as well as highly skilled workers.

It’s not clear to me the highly educated individuals are integrating well. (E.g. high caste Indians bringing caste-based elitism to the U.S.) They're obviously prospering but that's somewhat different.
Broadcom hasn't ruined Rally. They haven't improved it much, either.
The new design looks like a generic store brand...
I don't know if they need to be full-blown co-ops with voting power, etc. There are many other ways to ensure financial incentives are aligned. RSUs, ESPPs, and other forms of stock options are widely used in our industry to attract talent and align incentives. I once worked at a software startup without these (but generous cash comp), and it was awful. Whenever the sales team closed a huge deal by promising some vaporware features, the engineers were outright angry because it just meant extra work to build the overpromised stuff. If the engineers had equity, we would've been high-fiving the sales team for pushing those gargantuan deals past the finish line.

Then there's also simple profit-sharing. When I worked at a small mortgage company, each employee got a certain number of dollars for every loan that the company closed, based on how many years they'd been with the company. When things got stressful and busy it definitely eased the blow, and it helped tremendously with retention too.

I hadn't noticed the redesign (I don't buy OJ all that often). But looking at it - the sentence at the bottom of the article totally matches my impression of it being a discount store brand.

> On the other hand, the new packaging failed to impress the consumers, with clean lines, a lack of visuals, transforming the once indistinguishable orange juice into a "generic store brand" product.

It reminds me of the failed redesign of the JC Penny logo. The new logo was crisp, clean, modern, and was 100% not what their customers were looking for.

Seriously, Nobody I know is still concerned about events.

I wonder if the article is satire
> Should we celebrate acquisitions? [...] everyone congratulates everyone else

Are they? Postmark didn't mention anything about celebrating or congratulating. They did say they were "excited [...] Postmark will [...] become even better". And it took "nearly a year of soul searching and questioning" so it seems more introspective than the champagne popping party the blogger seems to have inferred. I think they're carrying more cynicism into this than is actually there.

Unless you're naive, there's strong incentive by the parent company to ensure customers are placated so things are spun as a success for that reason. Is the blogger questioning the function of Public Relations/marketing?

Because, it's a thing, ya know?
Bruh, this is so good!

>the disk, where you can view just your own images. And as far as I know, the doctors don’t have to pay a license fee for it

I certainly can't speak for all software, but I work on one such and can confirm that there's no licensing or other cost for the doctors burning the disk with embedded viewer aside from the media itself, which can be any off the shelf stuff. Though I know there is some fuckery in related areas—there's at least one company that makes a DICOM printer that only accepts extremely pricy first-party, rfid-tagged paper.

This looks like an excellent release. The addition of "blueprints" will go far in lowering the barrier to entry for people like me who just want a quick and easy way to put up something presentable. The blueprints also serve as a great example to learn about some of the soupault features so that's great!

It's Chinese territory. They have 100% control.
Do you trust your country to continue existing? I do.
> I think GP believes that race and orientation is mutable

Not particularly.

Race and gender are social constructs, and ones identity (and orientation, in the latter case) with regard to either is formed early – and, once formed, immutable or nearly so – as a product of innate traits interacting with socialization around the construct.

(The fact that gender identity can diverge from socially ascribed gender, resulting in demands to alter the latter to conform with the former, does not make gender identity mutable, in much the same way that the fact that people might mistake your race for a different one than your indentity doesn’t make racial identity mutable.)
What will happen to .su? (Soviet union)
i don't know where you live, and maybe the wild west was like that, but in the rest of the civilized world, physical violence is rather frowned upon, so the risk for it to happen unexpectedly is really quite low, unless i am talking to someone who is already unhinged. otherwise we would have to have had a serious argument that escalated to a shouting match before physical violence becomes even remotely a risk factor.

as they like to say in china: don't start a fight, if you loose you go to the hospital, if you win, you go to prison

as i stated nearby, just the risk of changing your mood because i disagree with you, as this comment might do, is deterrent enough to have me try to make my point in a more friendly way.

this comment is intentionally snarky, because i feel the idea of physical violence as a risk just doesn't fit into my understanding of the world.
I use Linux, but Lenovo's reputation is still burned in my eyes ever since the Superfish incident. I'm very happy we have other names in the Linux laptop game.

(Context: Lenovo installed universal root CAs on their laptops during the 2010s, so they could serve ads. They were tied to firmware IIRC, so, reinstalling Windows would not remove the malware.)
I'm really really excited for and curious about the effect system, but isn't the effect system considered unstable except for any multicore usage?
To be a little pedantic, I’d use the word approximate rather than solve.
No, in the U.S., the anti-circumvention provisions only apply to works still protected by U.S. copyright. (The criminal violations are also only applicable to willful violations done for commercial advantage or private financial gain.) Generally speaking, the Copyright Clause only empowers Congress to create restrictions "for limited Times" -- even the anti-circumvention rules are probably subject to this.

Nimmer explains: "Section 1201’s limitation to works that are under U.S. copyright protection means that, to the extent a technological measure effectively controls access to public domain works, circumvention of that measure does not violate the statute. (But intermingling a small amount of current material into the collected works of Shakespeare could effectively undermine that status.) By the same token, to the extent that a work, currently protected abroad, resides in the U.S. public domain for formal or other reasons, then, as to it as well, circumvention of technological measures remains nonactionable (unless, again, some protected material were intermingled with it)." 4 Nimmer on Copyright § 12A.03 (2022)
Probably one of the thumb buttons that are dark blue.
There have been a fair few changes that make a large difference if you care about that thing, but nothing earth shattering for all. Being able too define an arbitrary number of dynamic forgetting rules (where there was a fairly strict limit previously) is one change that I really appreciate. I'm sure there are many other such changes that appeal to other people's user of the thing.
>Life is much simpler if you simply nod and say “oh, that’s horrible”.

that's one way to simplify things, but I'm glad that altruistic individuals who actually want to lift a finger to help still exist; albeit rare.
> Most population centers are far enough from windy and sunny areas that transmission is very expensive.

This isn't true, at least in the US: we have abundant offshore wind locations, nearly all of which are underutilized. NY alone is working on a 9,000MW offshore wind installation that'll be capable of powering 2.4 million homes (i.e., over 25% of the state.) Other regions where this holds: the entire Eastern seaboard (wind), the southeast (wind + solar), the entire Pacific seaboard (mostly solar, some wind), the gulf coast (wind + solar), and the Midwest (wind).

Besides, we're already paying the transmission cost in most places: it turns out that most people don't want to live near coal- or oil-fired power plants, which means that they need to be built away from population centers. The same goes for public fears around nuclear power.

I don't think regulators are idiots. They're paying institutional costs that aren't part of the renewable calculations, including inertia that makes changing the power grid inherently expensive. That, combined with the storage problem, are the actual reasons for slower-than-economical uptake.
Anyone remembers the weird dual screen laptops? https://www.engadget.com/2009-12-10-onkyos-dx-dual-screen-la...
So a nice hook to read the article for those of us reading the comments first.
> A multi-rotor drone (what the videos seem to be shot from) cannot fly fast, and cannot pull the high gees after drop. Dive bombing won't help much. Likely even a controlled flight into the target (kamikaze) would end up slower (final velocity) than just dropping, making the drone a much easier target for small arms fire than just the bomb alone.

Every one of these drone-drop videos is several seconds between letting go of the bomb, and the bomb colliding with the target.

If they actually want these drones to reliably hit a moving target, or even a vehicle in combat, they'll need to do something.

That's a lot of hang-time and delay in these "drone drop" videos. Once the bomb is let go, there's going to be another 20+ to 30+ minutes before the drone operator is able to fly another drone into the field, and that's if the drone operator has a 2nd drone with him. Maybe it will be hours, or maybe the next chance to drop a bomb never comes ever again.

You really want to maximize the chance of striking the target with these operations. A huge number of WW1 and WW2 operations were summarized as "Flew for 4 hours, missed my bomb, flew home". You want to minimize that kind of thing.

Especially if these drones are considered somewhat expendable.
One thing about the original space cadet keyboard was that it was a crappy keyboard. It was made of nice cherry switches but the case was plastic and flexed (very) slightly. This need not have been a killer but the PCB was very long (look at all those keys!)* and lacked an appropriate rib to keep it stiff. So it would flex a little.

Now those keycaps were pretty big back in those days (no apple ultra minimal styling) so the displacement wasn't enough to mess up touch typing. But regardless, it was enough to make the keyboard feel slightly spongy, which was a shame as the key mechanism was really good.

Also the keyboard was too wide, (you had to take your hands off the keyboard to press some keys, like KTV (really an excellent keyboard BTW) holdovers such as ⊕ or new ones like . So in practice they weren't used so much.

This keyboard was only used on the CADR; later Symbolics and LMI keyboards still had a lot of keys, but were comparatively stripped down and more stable mechanical engineering.

* even bigger than the weird keyboards that have a pointless numeric keypad next to them that you still see sometimes these days.
> Ethan Brodsky, couldn’t easily find anything about him today. Just another generous internet stranger who played a role in my tech career.

I got curious - the email address in the reply is "ericbrodsky" - I did find an Eric Brodsky on LinkedIn who was at Wisconsin until '95 - so it's possible Ethan is his son, and he used his dad's email address?

Some more digging, and I found this profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ethanbrodsky/ - could be him? Went to Wisconsin a few years later (so was likely in HS when he wrote the SoundBlaster stuff).
Any of these open source DIY projects would make it easy to drop in your choice of keyboard, no?
This is the kind of Brenda Laurel shit that keeps me going. Great share. I wonder whether, "computers" and, "Fordism" would be a, "Mes?" if the Sumerians could, "see forward in time."

It's the difference in pulling the lever vs. letting the trolley roll towards the victims while your hand is on the lever.

The philosophical jury's out on whether it's a difference with meaning, but we seem to feel in our guts it is. Our guts are products of evolution, not reason.
I'd sacrifice having a screen for more palmrest space. If I were to use this for terminal-only work, a 65% layout with no trackball would be perfect.
> Buying frozen solid means cleaning up your mixer. I also bet it's easier to lose some fiber.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I've always just put the concentrate brick (cylinder?) into a pitcher, filled it up with the right amount of water, and mixed it until fully melted. It's no worse to clean up than anything else in a pitcher would be.

I agree completely about fresh-squeezed juices, by the way. I do my own juices directly when I have time! But the point was about American consumers, who are buying reconstituted concentrate anyways (just that someone's done the reconstituting for them.)
A simple model for efficiently increasing MRR
The one thing I'm really missing after looking at a number of hosts (Fly and Render being top of list otherwise) is a free database tier.

For a toy app, 10k db rows (across all tables) from Heroku was enough to get the app running and have a public URL to share, and I miss those days.

I'm working on a fresh Rails7 toy app to try out some new features, and my current thinking is to use sqlite, and add an initializer early in the stack to migrate+seed the db if it's missing. If it's ephemeral that's fine, I just want some baseline data to interact with the app at a distance beyond localhost.
> But it _does_ make a bit of sense to retain the top % of immigrants based on education in scarce fields

Retain people with ability, sure. Retain people based on educational credentials only, maybe not.
It is indeed true that the effect system will evolve in the future, and there is no syntactic support for effects in the 5.0 release. That said, the standard library in 5.0 does contain functions that will expose the same set of features, and can still be a very useful way to build things using effects. I'm hoping experiments in the wild will prove to be useful feedback as the effect system evolves in the future OCaml releases.

EDIT: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-ocaml-september-2021-e... is a forum post that goes into more detail about the state of effects in OCaml 5.0

Personally, I found the promise of XR's delayed-duration to be massively overstated. I like the IR's better, because you can figure out when to re-dose through experimentation (which my doc encouraged.)

I was also motivated to change to IRs, and mentioned to my doc, that the generic IRs can be had for less than half what generic XRs cost, with GoodRx. I have insurance, but GoodRx is cheaper, and insurance gives me runarounds with 'prior auth' nonsense.

My timeline was a month before switching meds/doses. Obviously, you want to give it an honest shot of a few weeks, but if something isn't working after a month, your doc should be willing to change it up. If they're giving you a hard time, I'd explore other options. There seem to be a number of providers that have a prejudiced view of stimulants. If you needed to switch/increase the dose of say, an antidepressant, no doctor would think twice.
It actually happened to me, actually more than once on drastically changed designs. I buy the same thing I had at home, because I like it, and why change things that work?

At the store, I don't see it. I may notice that product with the same name, but the spell is broken, it is no longer the product I mindlessly buy again and again, and it may be a good occasion to try something else. Even worse, I may end up buying competing products that look more like the original design than the new design of the same brand.

Pair with the secret of inhuman productivity: if the first 80% of the job takes 20% of the effort, you can do the first 80% of five different things for 400% output. By then you know what's worth really investing in finishing and you can focus down having mapped out a lot of options first.
Some line test might run on it. It could be that at that point it is simpler to sell it on with the software than wiping.

When I worked for an imaging company, we used to have diffraction grating spectrographic plates (the DVD is a great idea) embedded in 35mm slide mounts.

We’d stick a standard CCD (like in any DSLR) behind them, and voila! You have a spectrometer! This would also give you a good optical path, for focusing light.

You’d still need to calibrate the driver, but that’s just paperwork.
