Let's say you have a load of 1000 kg on a 1 square meter steel plate on a field. What is the compression 1 meter underground directly below? Less than at the surface. What about compression 1 meter underground and 0.5 meters to the side from the center, ie below the edge of the plate? Even less. And 1 meter to the side, even than that. The load spreads underground. From a small point load, it dilutes fast with depth.

What if you add a similar load directly adjacent to the previous one. Pressure is same but area is added. What is the compression 1 meter underground, at the border between the plates. It's more than in the previous case, since both loads now contribute to it.

So there is a sort of load pyramid that has to form underground to support each point load. And the more point loads you add in a grid, the deeper you go, the pyramid overlap more together. So with constant pressure, the wider area you have, the more there is stress deeper down, and the worse the effect gets with distance.
> [...] chronic soil compaction [...] negatively impacts various soil functions (9, 26). These are manifested by a persistent decline in crop yields (13, 27, 28), limited water infiltration capacity (8, 10), and a decline in other soil ecosystem services (29, 30).

It is a pity the article calls these effects as "well known" and does not explain them deeper.
I quite like when key parts of each paragraph is emphasized in some way. It makes skimming the article much easier / quicker.

Switches are probably either cherry's low profile switch, or Kailh's version 2 of it's choc low profile switch.

I honestly have no idea why this was posted on HN, there's a ton of other keyboards that have the same specs and features. Sure it's got Logitech's priority dongle, but as you point out, what's here that's not on a 70 dollar gk65.
I don't mind the Logitech Unifying Receiver dongle, but I wish they'd make a USB-C one already.

Yes it does. It is actually the top result, and also the top results if you search for 'rt ukraine'. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=rt+ukraine&ia=web

If you are in the EU, though, the EU legally prohibited search engines from linking to RT & Sputnik.
There are parallels here to FBI Agent Ken Lanning's linking of Satanic Panic to X-Rays showing how prevalent child abuse was.[1][2] Nobody wants to talk about the real ugly side of the story here.

"Think of the children" seems to be the battle cry of people with bad ideas that won't work anyways.

Ultimately you can't outlaw math. Instead it'll wind up being just the criminals using actually secure encryption and none of this will matter anyway.

Generation of a "style", even for humans, requires a feedback loop where what was created is incorporated, mimicked, and expanded upon.

An AI whose training model only rewarded images that mimicked 19th-century art would never develop a "style" outside of that. But if you had a model that was trained on 19th-century art, and then provided a critic network that rewarded 20th-century art (as well as 19th), and re-trained the network, I suspect that it would develop a 20th-century "style", as variations that previously would have been rejected under a strict 19th-century criteria will now be accepted.
It's absolutely a pyramid scheme. But that doesn't mean it will actually collapse. A lot of the best known pyramid schemes (Amway, Mary Kay) ended being incredibly durable businesses where all the people who lost their shirts failed to dissuade the next generation.

They're open source, just get the builds from f-droid instead of the paid play store builds. You can still pay to support the developer.
Yes, Dyson was out of stock, when the battery in my V8 died so I felt forced to buy an aftermarket just to use it. More amp hours than the OEM (or so they claim), and so far working great. The filters that came with it don't fit as well as the OEM ones though, they are falling off when I hold the vacuum wrong.

Define waste.

We tested it, and with our usual usage pattern of using the summerhouse every 2 weeks, the brand new fridge uses less power while powered for the 12 days between departure and arrival, than it does cooling down when powered on at arrival.

Despite being brand new, it uses 6-8 hours to get from 18C to 5C. I guess because it's brand new it is well insulated, so less cooling power is needed once it's cooled down, which translates to a weaker compressor with less power consumption.

As for the Raspberry Pi, it runs idle for 99% of the time, consuming _at most_ 1.15W. That amounts to 0.8 kWh in a month, which is about as much as a TV uses in 2.5 hours, or about a quarter the power consumption of a Sonos One Speaker sitting idle [1].

The total power consumption of the summerhouse uninhabited is ~1.8kWh/day, which includes the heat pump, fridge, internet modem and router, Raspberry Pi, Security Camera and a couple of hubs for IoT.

This isn't really true. Starlink is not designed for working in motion and the ToS explicitly says it's not supported, including for this service.
BTC is down 50% from ATH while Nasdaq is off 30% and S&P 20%, Bonds (AGG) down 15%, all in the span of 6 months. BTC's investment thesis is not invalidated for sliding along with every single other asset class in one of the worst historic starts to a year.

Try a longer term perspective, and BTC is indeed still deflationary - its potential to replace central bank functionality and to be a secure, global SoV is still valuable to investors.
> "Simple" means "not many features", and "easy" means "good to get things done with".

I'm not sure about this. What utility is a language with only simple constructs that is hard to use.

Not quite a counterpoint, but a thought in that direction is:

There can be features that make it easy to implement something which some find hard to understand.

I suppose I question the value of simplicity for it's own sake in a language and would rather defer to how simple and understandable the resulting code is.

I frequently consider the added complexity cost of a more complex compiler inherent complexity because I find the simplicity of use dwarfs compiler simplicity or simplicity "just cuz".
According to Verge it uses Kailh Choc V2 Low Profile Switches: https://kono.store/products/kailh-choc-mx-switches

Things I Wish I'd Done Differently Building a Niche Job Board
I have the Dyson V10. And I got it much cheaper by buying refurb and coupon stacking for <$200. I think they were the first to get the cordless vacuum formfactor right. There are many alternatives now that are significantly cheaper. And if I wasn't able to purchase mine at the price I did I probably would have considered them.
The equation example is artificial. In practice there will be no curly brackets around these single-token sub/superscripts, nor should the \left / \right present in this example. With properly added whitespaces this equation becomes quite legible.

For more complex equations people use line breaks and indentations, and/or macros.
Maybe Arthur T. Murray wasn't a kook and he finally got Mentifex up and running.
Why? The title does not claim to be related to the search, does it?
I think it was posted more as an interesting industry trend. It's acknowledgement of a former niche turning into a real industry from the big name in the space.
It's more the 'champion' (her job title, not your fault) and 'superpowers' language than it is recognising and valuing someone's empathy.

It comes across as inauthentic to me, though I believe that's not the case. May also be a cultural difference (well, there certainly is, but broadly applicable to our respective nations I mean) since to me it's quite like how you can't offer a simple 'thanks' (resp. cheers!) to a shopkeeper or whoever in the US without being told 'you're so welcome', and probably to 'have a great day now'.
Hi doener,

Thanks for posting this!

Nuclear power is a useful technology.

Folks forget that the original issue was breeder reactors are safer but people were so anti nuclear for "peace" reasons, they did things like demand fracking then capitulating to China rather than build one last, safer, set of breeder reactors that could power things like desalination plants until efficient solar panels get cheap enough we'd be less worried about the fact it's hard to move electricity from the sun belt of the USA to places like my home state of Pennsylvania.

Not a TeXnicians nor a TeXpert but I've learnt it at a certain point in high school after a professor suggestion, than much used at the uni and now just used casually for letters, reports etc I do love the quality, that's is.

As far as I do not find something with equivalent or better typesetting quality I'm stick with LaTeX :-)

To those who hate it: try to learn some tangible "alternatives" like *roff or TeXinfo and than you'll see LaTeX syntax is not that horrid or difficult, then try to learn some modern typesetting tools like those from Adobe. LaTeX win easily, that's is. Said that IF someone can offer something equivalent with a far simpler/nicer markup as I said before my love is just to the quality of the output!
Huge different especially if you tent them. I have large hands and always also felt cramped on unsplit keyboards but not on split keyboards
Glad to hear the r/mk opinion on this. I've been a diehard for Logitech multi-device peripherals since I picked up a Triathlon mouse on sale in 2018 and I just got myself an MX Mini keyboard. For folks who frequently switch between devices it's a godsend. I was glad to see it in mechanical form, but I can't understand why they wouldn't do their due diligence on mechanical keyboard users and their needs.
Starlink needs permission from the government in each country before operating there.
You’re ascribing me a lot of views that I don’t have.

An example. Personal opinion. The so-called criminal justice system of the USA has a lot in common with slavery, and relatively to the population size probably has more of a negative effect on the quality of life of Americans than minority repression in China has on the Chinese. But two wrongs don’t make a right.

I drew this example and conclusion based on media sources in the free press of the West. One can draw some conclusions from that.
> If you are in the EU, though, the EU legally prohibited search engines from linking to RT & Sputnik.

That must be it then, I wasn't aware. Thanks for correcting me.
Sure, not trying to criticize you, but it has been on the news pretty much daily for the last year and crypto ads dominated the super bowl.

If you find yourself in a space where you aren’t exposed to it at all that’s fine, but I would say it is definitely not the norm for people working in tech these days.
The author has written approximately the same article 3-4 times, with different dollar amounts in the title.

The only new info in here compared to previous posts was this:

> I didn’t write programming books from the start.
> I started with Singapore Math books which sold well.
> But I was then issued a cease and desist letter from
> a competing company.

which is ... pretty interesting. The Wikipedia page on Singapore Math[0] doesn't contain any obvious reason why someone could C&D a textbook written in that style. A post going into the details of that event might do well on HN.

The idea that farmers already know this and manage it through tilling is contradicted by the abstract:

> We demonstrate that modern vehicles induce high soil stresses that now exceed critical mechanical thresholds for many arable soils, inducing chronic soil compaction in root zones below tillage depths and adversely affecting soil functioning.

I’m also skeptical that farmers are aware of what’s going on below root zones.
The counter argument is that, by the time these models become available to the public, they will produce output that cannot be distinguished from real photos, so the damage will be even greater than if they became available today
From the looks of the side profile, this is using low profile mechanical switches, which seem uncommon or at the very least not popular in the mech keyboard community.

I don’t think that they’re targeting the same sort of user as the enthusiast board manufacturers do.

I mean the MX Keys is a popular product outside of mech keyboard circles, this may be positioned as an alternative for those users
That equation is easily workable with the code as is, and that options block is also fine. My bigger concern is someone coming in without enough experience and trying to disrupt the whole academia. Yes, the learning curve is steep - can anyone even say they finally know TeX? Aligning stuff and other things may take time. But if you're writing papers, the output quality is amazing and, what is important, consistent - light years ahead of WYSIWYG editors. I'd rather edit my equations manually in TeX rather than, say, popular office suites. And why would anyone want to do presentations in TeX anyways? It's like using a spaceship to shop for groceries.
People know us primarily for search and our relationship with Microsoft is about search, so it will be assumed by most people this is about search (when it is not, it's about browsers).

Additionally the way it is phrased implies Microsoft trackers get a free pass, when they are in fact heavily restricted, e.g., blocking 3rd party cookies, fingerprint protection, etc.

And the current title can further easily be misinterpreted to be about more than Microsoft scripts on 3rd party sites (e.g., other companies, which it is not).
In the real world you kinda need to pick a provider.

Having all your code platform agnostic isn't really a viable option unless you've got budget to spare.
I feel like this tool could significantly benefit from a ncdu like interface.

ncdu itself can accept a json file in a specific format [1]. Perhaps it will be a good idea to add an option to export the data in this format?

Lol all he did was knock on the guys door. This is utterly ridiculous. South Korea is filled with these heavy handed and repressive laws. I don’t know why anybody even remotely considers it a free country.
An alternative C version (Ted's is in Go) is described in the last link of the article [1]. That is a rather interesting tutorial for how to write high-performing tools of this kind, it deals with stuff like string interning/buffering, pre-allocating "objects" to avoid having to implement dynamically growing data structures, and so on.

It's pretty cool how the author uses LLVM as an example of a big codebase, then uses "10X that" as the requirement for how many directories and so on to support.

The fact that it IS a dongle is the major disadvantage. Most laptops have only one or two USB-B slots and many are moving towards USB-C for everything. Most also have very functional bluetooth built in. It's just not worth a minor improvement in connection quality (which is debatable, reading these comments) to lose the only slot I have in a laptop. I have to unplug my external keyboard in order to use my headset if I'm not using a dock. This was enough to make me spend my own money to replace the logitech mouse I was issued at work.
It's always such a strange, bittersweet feeling when some long-running presence in your life like this comes to a conclusion. Though, I'll admit I've never had one running for a decade. Few years at the most.
Curious, why is that?

I know there's been great Russian mathematicians, but is there also a tradition of pedagogy that's also a part of Russian mathematics?
I agree. But Apple is taking money from Google, which shows that privacy isn't a consideration when selecting the default search engine. Hence the apparent hypocrisy.
I like exploring! Wizardry, Ultima, Elder Scrolls, whatever, I like to go straight off the path and into the weeds. I think great RPGs let you tell as much of the story in your head as possible, and this is hard in very story/dialogue heavy games (especially since the advent of voice acting in games).
Been mulling viability of hiring professors and TAs to give 10 day intensive math and physics lecture seminars backed by tutorials in beach settings. Sort of like taking the lectures of theoreticalminimum.com but on the road, where you can join a session with a small group of ~10 students in places like Barbados, BVI, Costa Rica, mostly outdoors. If the economics can work for for yoga, we can probably make them work for an amateur/programmer interest in math. No certifications, maybe just walk through some coursera and khan material as prep.

Want to teach geeky tourists calculus? If we made math tourism a thing, teachers in host countries could skill up pretty fast as well.
Is it a system for remittances to the third world?'

Even more so, I feel like the third world is becoming more of a dumpster for first world crypto experiments where the number of greater fools is declining.
You do need time zone identifiers or something like that, but they are not something you can blindly buy in. I mean, of course it would be great to see a semi-automated solution for that (for example, such a solution can automatically determine Region/Foo is split into Region/Foo and Region/Bar but nothing else)! But the time zone database doesn't provide anything like that, and a built-in support for time zone identifiers can hugely mislead users.

> Ask a heroku fan how they're feeling right now before moving forward with any single host approach

Just fine? Fly.io has a fairly seamless automated migration at https://fly.io/launch/heroku ; my Heroku apps are quite portable.

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/conceptual_articles/h... shows a pretty similar approach to Lambda - they just invoke a function with a handler. You could run the same handler on AWS Lambda or Cloudfront's workers, probably without any changes.
Part of the problem is that it's difficult to trust any of these documents. It seems that in this latest dump there are some that are blatantly forged.

I want to use latex while using your attitude! It has to be simple and the syntax out of the way, almost like Markdown
I agree. LyX is a much better alternative to LaTeX. It's a sort of GUI front-end to it, but it lets you do all the normal editing in normal WYSWYG way (but without the "is the space bold? why is the font of this blank line different?" you get with Word). Most importantly it has a really amazing equation editor.
> Science is empiricism. That is it. It is the idea that a theory about how the world works must be put to the test through experimentation.

It used to be that. Now we have theories such as big bang theory, theory of tectonic plates, climate change modelling being seen as a part of science, even though they were never empirically tested (because it's impossible). Science has really changed since its origins back in Newton times, nowadays we accept much more indirect evidence (vs the consistent results of repeated experiments within the parameter space of the theory we used to rely on earlier) as good enough to accept the theory.

That's what I mean by "holding them accountable." So Safari and Firefox should implement that API behind a privacy-check flag (same as we get for location services, etc.). If Google complains it's not to spec, tell Google to fix the spec.

Don't rubber stamp specs that aren't privacy-conscious; Apple, Mozilla, and Microsoft are WHATWG standards members too.
I don't have time to keep getting into the fantasy math here for your drones, but just wanted to correct you about the F-35. It was never part of its design to either be a drone host or to be optionally manned. And saying it has the capability to be converted to a UCAV doesn't mean much; the USAF has done that for fighters starting with the Century series up to the F-16.
>I've never lived anywhere that wasn't a 5-10 min walk away from a well stocked convenience store

Maybe examine the societal issues that would make someone order groceries rather than walk for them, if physical disability is not the barrier.

Individual stores can choose to do delivery, it was common for chains like Eckerd[1] in the 90s but I didn't know many people who used them unless they were really old and wanted to get their prescriptions plus a few things delivered between visits from caregivers rather than go into a home.

Could also be choc v2s, which I say is more likely, because otherwise they'd plaster cherry logos somewhere on the page.

There's a bunch of compatibility problems with those. Cherry, GMK, and PBT MT3 all don't work according to a geekhack thread I see. Cherry's lp switch would probably have similar issues.
