>Are you genuinely envisioning this math/physics beach vacation as "mostly homework"?

That's what I was envisioning. Homework with an onsite PhD for when I get stuck or find an interesting tangent to go on.

At 32, this is literally how I prefer to spend my vacations now anyway. It's just hard to find time when I can focus and don't have to watch the kids.
of course, I don't mean to downplay the importance of entertainment - just that it isn't the activity that will intellectually challenge people. Anyone can view a painting or watch a film with their own "understanding" of it, it takes dedicated learning to understand math, physics, etc.

I've been to introductory art courses where many students were able to arrive at similar understandings of various artwork as more studied art aficionados. If you were to do the same in a STEM intro course, you'd likely get special attention and it would be noteworthy.
I agree, it's value is also speculative. I'm just making the point that it can be useful in it's own fundamental self.
What you're looking for is almost definitely deeper down the rabbit hole[1]. The problem will be getting it.

Yeah, that's what they said.
I am a heavy user of f-droid and avoid these 'Simple' apps. The high level of nag is not just annoying but borders on begging. Having pro versions where you can change colors defeats the idea of open source. I hate bringing the negative energy, but there is a treasure of apps available with f-droid other than these. I am glad they have their own website and wish they just went and did their own thing there.

Education should be free. Food should be healthy. Housing should be affordable. Ultimately, what economists think a currency should be doesn't matter. What matters is what people want.

And I suspect that most people, given a choice, would prefer to get paid in a currency that retains value over time rather than one which loses it.

This choice doesn't exist today. But it could exist in a future where Bitcoin's UX improves and its price becomes less volatile.
You could potentially try to pick up multiple books on the same subject and try to learn this way. Follow the one that speaks to your background most closely, but the others are also likely to help.

FWIW, one of my favorite maths Youtubers, the "Math Sorcerer"[1], highly encourages this approach. Don't fixate on one particular book, but buy many books on a given topic, and allow yourself to experience different presentations of the material. And as he often points out, if you're willing to accept used books, and older editions (which is often OK if you're not buying a book for a specific class), then you can quite often get copies really cheap from Alibris, bookfinder, etc.

A container that runs on one dev laptop will (most likely) run on another, unless there's some weird architecture compatibility stuff. Even then, I think the M1s are doing fine and my old boss used to stand our entire fleet up on his Chromebook.

With respect to the latter, I'm not sure that a web IDE (without paying monthly cost) would solve this problem. At that point one might as well run an entire developer cluster. That's the way I designed my teams stack.
> Even considering inflation, $150 for a Logitech keyboard is insane, even if it is mechanical.

I don't think you have been looking at Logitech keyboards for a while. Logitech Craft, which is a few years old retails at $169. MX Keys (which this is presumably the mechanical version of) costs $119

I don't think the MX or the Craft series are aimed at gamers, but at office workers / typists.

Logitech Gaming Keyboards, such as G413 TKL is $69 and the Pro K/DA, which is a collaboration with the League of Legends Band/mascots is $129

$150 for a logitech keyboard is in no way high for the brand, or an attempt at taking advantage of gamers.
Why would they need to shoot them down? Porch pirates just take packages that are delivered while nobody's home... that model still works fine with drones, and adding a bunch of gunshots to it doesn't seem like it would improve the chances of success...
The idea of Morrowind always sounded cool, but I could never get into it. I think I grabbed the Xbox version for ten bucks at a Best Buy back in the day. I spent roughly a half hour designing my character, spawned on a boat, and saw a nearby treasure chest. I took stuff out of it (as one does in a freaking RPG), and was then murdered for stealing by nearby guards.

Back onto the shelf it went.

If one believes it is useful as a currency, but the world has not yet fully realized that and when it does it will stabilize in a much higher price than today, would you say it makes sense as an investment now?

I find odd that people already have final judgements about bitcoin's success after little more than a decade of existence, when even its issuance schedule is over a century long. Does it really make sense to expect an entirely novel currency/asset/whatever you wanna call it to find its definitive price in one decade?
> Isn't this entire story about them disclosing this fact?

It seems to be, but they're claiming the details are confidential. It's rather confusing. I wonder whether Microsoft's intention was to prevent them from disclosing it altogether, or whether they just wanted to avoid the general details of the contract getting out (rather than this particular tidbit of info). I'm inclined to suspect it was the latter--just a general NDA. In any case, I don't like it.
In my experience their software in general is terrible. For a while I had the Logitech G Hub software installed for configuring a G604 Lightspeed mouse, and it would randomly start eating 100% of a core for indefinite periods while sitting in the background for no apparent reason. Saw this behavior under both macOS and Windows.

Their hardware is decent but they gotta ditch the crappy lowest bidder offshore contractor software. It’s garbage.
This is my exact reason for going Logitech keyboard and mouse. I have a work Mac and personal PC. With a thunderbolt dock I can use either one at my desk. I don’t have to fiddle with pairing anything, just plug in the computer and the keyboard and mouse show up. If I travel then I just pack my mouse and pair it with my laptop via Bluetooth while away.
>> Is it a way for North Korea to get paid when extorting Western companies? In fact yes, this use case does seem to work.

> The "criminals use Bitcoin" while true is the weakest of the arguments against the current or future success of Bitcoin. Criminals still primarily use regular ole' fiat currency for this stuff, or have more sophisticated schemes like selling artwork.

Cryptocurrency enables criminal schemes that are totally impractical with cash, such as ransomware malware at scale (have you heard of it?). These schemes are an appealing use for cryptocurrency. Legitimate transactions can use conventional payment networks, but these can't and need a lawless transnational payment network like cryptocurrency provides.

Also, LOL at the idea that criminals are so busy selling artwork that they have no use for cryptocurrency.

> In the case of North Korea they'd have to either mine Bitcoin, or they'd have to convert their currency to Bitcoin. But who would sell to take worthless North Korean money? Unless you mean they convert dollars... in which case they were just using the dollars already.

LOL, I don't think you understand what you're trying to debunk at all. The North Korean state wants foreign hard currency, and cryptocurrency is a mechanism for them to acquire that (e.g. through the aforementioned ransomware).
I like this one that seems similar to the logitech "mini" one. https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k3-wireless-mecha...

It's low profile, has replaceable switches, can use a cable or bluetooth, is a fair price and has worked really well.
I mean normal text being rendered with a variable-width font instead of as monospace, for better readability. When I was younger I didn’t care much, but as my eyesight is getting worse, monospace text is becoming more straining to read.

Rendering variable-width fonts in a TUI-like layout environment isn’t exactly straightforward obviously, but I’m sure it could be solved adequately. The point is to still retain the snappiness of TUIs by not going full GUI and by still limiting layout to the coarse textmode grid.
I use the Gallery app and it was really the best, until the developer had to remove the hide/unhide images due to changes in Android 12 :( .
> someone who has heard mechanical keyboards are cool but is daunted by doing any research into what mechanical keyboard options exist out there.

honestly I was into mechanical keyboards for a while, I put together a few kits, I bought into group buys on individual hand-crafted keys, group buys on keysets, and bought a HHKB to try topre switches. After a while I just stopped, because the scene is incredibly disorganized and constantly shifting (e.g., I was into mechanical keyboards for a year or two and /r/budgetkeebs didn't even exist, but lots of my friends still know me as the keyboard enthusiast guy so they always ask me where to get a keyboard). The barrier to entry is very substantial. There are a lot of people who would like a nicer keyboard who don't want to have to deal with that nonsense.

Take that whole concept, and now think about webcams. People have money to burn and spent a lot of time on video chat because of Covid. How many people sat around and did hours and hours of research to buy the perfect webcam? How many people heard the Logitech 1080p webcam (the C920x I think?) was pretty good, bought it, plugged it in, had a good product and literally never thought about it again? I'm willing to bet that second group is easily ten times as large as the first group. And alllllllll those people see "Logitech" and all they think is "it's a peripheral that will probably work well that I don't have to think about". That's an enormous market.

anyway I can't figure out if the MX means the switches have Cherry MX stems or not, which is annoying. Not something I would buy, but definitely a frustratingly underserved market segment.
It's true of Africans as well, but you can divide humans by the little variation we have, and it turns out there are a dozen or so groups in sub-Saharan Africa, and one group pretty much everywhere else.
Oh, thats easy - we are 8 billion, sauropods were a few million. We can't digest cellulose, and sauropods could. We eat mean, and sauropods didn't.

If you can digest tree bark and have 5 square kilometers per person you can damage the soil as much as you want, something will still grow.

But if you want civilisation to survive, we need a regular harvest of 40 tons per hectare for potato, and if that number falls to 20 there is a famine.
It may have been just that location, it was literally across from a hospital nestled in amongst an independent coffee shop, a video rental store whose name I forget that had a pretty decent selection (first watched the catbus movie with a fever as a very young kid).

This isn't the same thing - you've actually calculated that you're unlikely to save in this situation. You made a sensible decision that the payback period is so long for your own uses that it runs the risk of not actually paying back/being beneficial. The "save where possible" mindset would be more like "I calculated it would be better, but my impact is less than my workplace doing X, so I won't".

Everyone should be calculating payback on these investments every couple of years, because the calculus changes depending on incentives/tech/other factors (e.g. EV purchases, or massive cost of living changes)
I think ultimately the arguments against Bitcoin here revolve around it (still) being a speculative asset. I believe that speculative assets would inherently have the following properties:

* Are high beta (outsized correlation with general market moves)

* Are not (primarily) counter inflationary due inflation being a much smaller and uncorrelated to negatively correlated with speculation

* Are not (primarily) priced by scarcity since sentiment will effect price more than predictably slowing supply

* Are not (primarily) priced by usage since speculation is a greater use case for the time being

It remains to be seen whether Bitcoin will move into a more mature category. I have a small position (~1%, selling along the way) in Bitcoin under the digital gold argument/for fun, but I expect it to remain more volatile than gold for the foreseeable future.
"However, traditional text-based browsers lack JS and all other modern HTML5 support."

This is feature not a bug, as the saying goes. I have been using text-only browsers for over 30 years. Without CSS or Javascript, the ability of web design to delay, distract and annoy is greately reduced. I get a much more consistent experience across all websites. A simple HTML reader shifts the balance of power over the experience of reading a website toward the user. Javascript generally shifts the balance of power toward the website operator.

If I want to run Javascript on the command line, today there are many options, e.g., Deno.

> Whenever I see their hand-dryers in a public bathroom I just use paper towels

Removing and replacing paper towels with hand dryers in public bathrooms has been an unfortunately shortsighted move that's been copied without much thought. Hands aren't the only thing that get wet in a public bathroom. You may wash your face, you may be removing stuff off your clothing, and countless other uses that a hand dryer alone can't accommodate.

Simple. To keep my desk clean.

First of all, my threat vector doesn't contain wireless attacks, and we'd have more serious problems if we come to that.

Also, that thing can work probably while being charged, so no fuss. Otherwise, it can charge for a full day's worth of work in 15 minutes, which is just a coffee break. I know it's no advertisement since Sony is doing the same thing on many things for 10 years now?

The devices which are using disposable batteries last for 2-3 years in average, and warn well before they're going to run out of energy. So again, no unexpected power losses in that case.

Wireless keyboards neither have latency or interference issues at least for a decade for the type of work I'm doing. We're not selecting frequencies with DIP switches anymore.
You most definitely cannot use the Dyson V7 at night as it’s really loud, especially noticeable is the very high pitched sound.

Infrastructure that's used how often per year? A dozen times? Rail lines that get a dozen trains per day tend to not get electrified...

As I've stated elsewhere, I expect a future with drone swarms that carry a power line while feeding from it. Certainly not cheap (high performance cables are never cheap, think hundreds of meters of supercharger cable?), but it would be a near-universal base technology for many application fields so it would have all the possibility a technology might need to start in some an niche and grow from there.
Languages and yoga vacations are a huge thing and they typically do them outside conference rooms. (5-7 day probably better) I'd thought about using them, but being totally indoors is a waste of being somewhere. So long as you have shade and a blackboard, you have everything you need. There's no exam, maybe just a final problem set you get on the way in and work your way through.

Idea is ~2-3h interactive lecture session in morning by interesting prof, ideally with no electronics, an optional recommended and personalized TA tutorial in the afternoon to catch anyone up, some fun activities like watching sunset on a sailboat and then using celestial navigation to find your way back, some partnerships with locals on regular stuff like surf lessons, musical performances, etc. Priced at a small premium to whatever all inclusives are.

It's not for everyone, but the people it's for, it's really for. It's good for solo travellers, can qualify as business job training, or employee rewards/incentive/teambuilding. A way for poorly paid TAs to make some money and get a paid trip. Any product manager working in the ML space would need to do it. Developing local teaching talent could become a significant industry as well...

There goes my day, anyway.

It's quite frustrating as it's ideal on paper but they fall on the last mile to make it practically open.
Is the explicit threat of nuclear war by Russia a possible factor here? Ie. Developing nuclear energy would feed into developing nuclear weapons. From what I understand, the anti-war / anti-extinction angle was a primary motivation for at least early Green activists.

You want me to pitch my mom on un-targeted advertising? How do you phrase it in practice? "On Google, you get evil ads relevant to you, such as restaurants near you.

No mozilla reading mode support - truly rebellious
Especially if it's something you used and liked. But yes, I'm a big fan of releasing these things to the public, for archival and for the curious. It's crazy how even big companies lose source code of old software, or at least only have it accessible in a completely chaotic state, with a missing build system, missing instructions, etc. Recent example would be 3D Movie Maker by Microsoft. People got it to compile eventually, but it apparently was a wild undertaking:

I used to agree with your general statement, until I worked with some people who were victims of violent crimes. Their trauma did not go away with a set unit of time served, but follows them forever.

The idea of neatly packaged-and-served justice doesn’t mesh with the reality of trauma inflicted by the crimes. Some stigma should remain with perpetrators, regardless of time served.
Indeed. Every time someone builds a walled garden, effort is duplicated needlessly, both in building it, and in using it.
This doesn't seem viable in practice, determining how much polution a product causes for every product you tax is impractical and although not guaranteed I would think it likely that you'll simply export less when you start imposing the same taxes on the exported products.

I'd bet it would increase inequality as well, given that people with low incomes proportionally pay more taxes on bought goods and services than people with higher incomes (I'm quite certain that's the case but economics really isn't my strong suit).

TikTok Fatigue?

My sample size is not huge, but from what I have observed, the hype isn't the same as it was in 2020/2021.

Or am I completely mistaken?
If you consider a "design" to result from a process where someone sketches out a plan, builds it, and it works first time. I've designed a lot of systems, and it is clearly an iterative process. Balancing tradeoffs, figuring out the essentials, build prototypes, test, etc. If you are patient and diligent a solution emerges. That sounds a lot like evolution, so in my mind everything in nature has been designed by the collective intelligence of an iterative process that rewards useful optimizations.
