Drawabox seems pretty popular on Reddit. It's pretty strict in the "this is the only correct way to learn" sense. If you're into that, it may be an option. It's self-guided, but you can post to get "graded" along the way so you know where to improve.

I'd love to tell you that I went through all this in 2020 during lockdown and now I'm an amazing artist after having a story very similar to yours. However, after buying a full box (12... 20... I don't know) of the fineliners, the first one stopped working almost immediately. The second one was DOA. I pretty much quit out of frustration after that. I recently just bought a 2 pack of a differnt brand (Sharpie), thinking something from a local store may have better luck than whatever Amazon decides to send me. So I'm going to give it another go.

I have seen enough drawing progression posts to accept that drawing is a learned skill and not something you're just born with. I also think patience is a big part of it. When I was in high school, the best thing in my sketch book for art class took me several hours. I was meticulous. Usually I just want to go from nothing to something good in 5 minutes. I've seen posts from people who made amazing stuff who say they spend 50 hours on a drawing. So I guess you get out of it what you put into it.
once you get enough reports, you recognize the pattern, and close them as "packaging/distro error" and kick the can back to the distros
The headline makes it sound like it's already certain, but the article says it's still a plan.
I have a password strategy I like, and I'm gonna share it because you might like it too.

* Create a master password root. Do not write it down anywhere - memorize it

* For every account that requires a password, add a unique suffix to the root

* Write down the suffixes in a file locked with the master password root

* Do not use a password manager. Enter passwords manually; since they all share the same master root, you are very unlikely to ever forget it

* If you do forget it anyway despite all this, you probably have bigger problems. Or maybe not, but then again, none of this shit matters anyway
The other option is trademark enforcement. That's the approach Mozilla took when they were unhappy with how Debian was distributing their software: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_software_rebranded_by_...

So, we finally have some demand destruction for goods.
What about fuel, services, housing, and food? Is there an oversupply of those?
I am an early riser and I would get up, sit in my recliner, drink my coffee and doom surf the internet. Then a couple of weeks ago I set up my laptop at a table in the living room, drink my coffee, journal for a few minutes and then start programming.

Around 5:45 I go for a walk, I'm back about an hour later then code for another hour before I take a shower and get ready for work.

This past Saturday I code quite all day. Sunday I intended to do more but got to doing other stuff.

The other day I sat looking at my monitor for at least 30 minutes trying to figure out what I wanted to work on. Once I decided I had a good long session.

I have a few hours after work but I'm usually so tired (from getting up early) my brain is fried from coding all day so I eat dinner, read a bit, go to bed and start all over in the morning.
If what you say is true/correct than it stands to reason removing the tariffs, would just make this issue even worse for US manufacturers and drive us into an even deeper recession?
But not very specific so far. We only have some anecdotes from that article writer about 8th grade maths.

To start, I think everybody should be able to do financial calculations (like compounding interest), and be able to decipher the charts they are being bombarded with every day in the media.

Other than that I guess I agree with some other posters that it is the people who figure thinks out who are often also good in maths. I am not even sure how to teach that and if traditional maths at school helps.
When will the "office" companies actually put people in a, you know, office.

This really is the dealbreaker. An "open floorplan" space is not an "office".
Have a look at Canada for your future.

TLDR: Canada is about TWICE as expensive as PT.

Mean house prices 2022may (CAD)
. Vancouver 1.374 MM
. Toronto 1.354 MM

Median HOUSEHOLD income 2022apr:
. Vancouver 71.5k CAD
. Toronto 70.6k CAD

price/income (HOUSEHOLD!!!)
. Van 19.22
. Tor 19.17

For reference PT (couldn't find per city):
. Average salary: 12 * 1,517 EUR = 18.2k (2020)
. Average home price in PT: 368,441 EUR (2021)

PT price/income (HOUSEHOLD!!!): 368,441/(2.018.2k) = 10.12
* assume 2.0 persons in a household, in the US it's 2.53 but not all of those ppl work: https://www.statista.com/statistics/183648/average-size-of-h...

The 'indexed' PNG is not an apt comparison. Using an 8-bit palette doesn't mandate terrible dithering, you can get this image down to 70-80kB with quantized 80-120 colors, and because of the solid surfaces it doesn't need any dithering at all. Or you could use WebP to get a 30KB file that has better quality than the JPEG.

I recommend using https://squoosh.app for this, it has OxiPNG and runs the compressors in-browser with WASM so you can fine tune the parameters live.

If you want a fun romp down computer history, check out BeFS, which had basically databasing filesystem metadata. For mp3, it extracted all of the id2 metadata and then seeded the database; if you made a change it wouldn't affect the file payload.
So if any single one of your used services leaks your password, you‘re essentially screwed since the root can be determined. Have you heard of haveibeenpwned.com?
Personally, I think this slow moving inflation disaster is the result of the US government's inability to raise taxes. They have to reduce the money supply somehow to fight inflation and they're doing it with one hand (fiscal policy) tied behind their back. I suspect the reason is because tax increases are politically toxic while monetary policy changes made by the Fed are seen as apolitical. To be even more cynical about it, one could argue that the wealthy people and corporations who control politicians have an obvious interest in preventing tax increases even when it would benefit the economy as a whole in the long term.
65k (General Motors) was the lowest offer I saw as a new grad in 2019. Everything else was above 75k. I took a job for 90k. I work in Texas.
This isn't the case in the US, either. How much influence do you think one person in the US, one of hundreds of millions of people, should normally have? Your power to influence policy is obviously going to dilute the further up the chain of government you go. You could involve yourself in local politics where the population of people is much smaller (and consequentially, your influence is much larger), or you could try to become a representative yourself.

National politics in the US is certainly perverse, though it's probably just your US-centrism at work again if you think it's exceptional in this regard.

> Take Kotlin, for example. It has so many escape hatches that someone new to functional programming can end-up writing what is essentially an OOP/imperative style Java program, merely in Kotlin syntax.

"over the past centuries because of religious anachronisms" is your words. Were you lying? YOU were the one that attributed this persecution as 'anachronisms' of 'past centuries.'

So does that mean we are in line with a recession in 2023, regardless of efforts in play now?

The risk is lower when you're not actually competing directly with that platform. For instance, if you're building a Twitter client reliant on the Twitter API, that's a bigger risk since you're directly competing with Twitter.

It's also biodiversity problem.

Without predators (snakes, foxes, coyotes, owls, ...) managing rodent populations, numbers of infected ticks rise significantly.

"Nervous mice tend to stay home. Mice that stay home don’t run into ticks, don’t provide food for the next generation of ticks and don’t become infected with Lyme disease. Areas with the most predator activity had almost the same number of mice as areas without predators, but had one-fifth as many ticks and one-eighth as many infected ticks."
The Dutch people should probably protest against measures like those.

It has no line numbers, fine. But I couldn't figure out how to enter a program since it doesn't present an editor. All my commands were executed in immediate mode.

I probably would have spent a little more time with it if it had been obvious how to enter a program without poring through documentation.

I did load the DEMO program, maybe it was in there, but I missed it.
Regardless of who you are in the government, the safest answer to anything is no. Permit housing? No. Permit power lines? No. Permit a nuclear plant? No. Permit an aviation fuel? No. Permit cross-laminated timber? No.

Nobody gets fired for saying no. This is how greatness fades away and a nation becomes uselessly sclerotic and irrelevant.
I've got one Apple charger that's compatible with all my devices and one that's compatible with all devices except my System76 laptop, it doesn't like the 30 something watt charger.

Things that work: All Android phones, Macbook, System76 Laptop, Sony Headphones, JBL BT Speaker, some cheap-o tiny RC car.

All devices don't need to implement everything, I'm happy just being able to bring one charger, one powerbank and a couple of cables with me along with my devices. I was on a trip just the other day where I brought the powerful Apple charger I have, my Xiaomi powerbank, Phone, Speaker, Headphones and laptop.

I'd say this is a lot better than how it was not too many years ago, so I'd say they've succeeded.

My guess is that the Nitecore works with the RPI charger because it doesn't actually negotiate anything, just deliver a voltage on the power-pins. Your Nitecore gear is to blame for the trouble you're experiencing, I'd still say having one "smart" usb-c and one "stupid" is better than everyone having their own physical interface.
> How would the blockchain saying that you "own" a domain make you own it more than currently?

There would have to be consensus that the particular blockchain is the source of truth for who owns which domain.

> It is impossible for the blockchain to prove anything about anything that originates from outside of that particular blockchain.

Yes, and this is something that wouldn't be necessary with blockchain-based domain names. It would not need to know about anything that originates from the outside.

> This is the reason why wanting to apply blockchain to everything such as land ownership is laughable and shows how little blockchain fanatics understand about the very technology they praise.

I'm far from a blockchain fanatic and using blockchain for land ownership is obviously laughable to me.

Ok, so some guy in Croatia now knows the root, so what? How does that help them? They can't access the other suffixes without physical access to my home computer. Not to mention they have no idea which part is the root and which part is the suffix
Thanks for the insightful reply. Everything you said makes total sense.

Re noncommercial organizations being permitted users, this was a conscious decision on our part. We're purposefully building Umbrel purely for consumers, and don't plan to serve any commercial or noncommercial organizations. We want to align our incentives directly with consumers instead of enterprises, and this is purely to help us focus on building for the user-base that excites us the most.

I'm a big fan of Sandstorm btw. It was way ahead of its time.
That's a cool case study!

It hits right at the core of the appeal (these kind of solvers need to be designed, if you grow them organically you get the if statement from hell) and also the challenges (not many managers would run with the idea of "the users will be doing something that looks a lot like writing code").
Digitizer and controller platforms suitable for many other industries (such as uTCA.4) were developed for LHC.

White Rabbit alone adds a lot of value to humanity. Proper coherency of data flying around an Ethernet network is super handy when making a big complicated controller for a big complicated machine.
Personally, I've learned to talk more precisely from these sorts of comments than anywhere else. In real life, people will rarely correct you. I think the concept of a "meta comment" is interesting, where you could push this sort of thing into a separate parallel thread that would normally be hidden.

Interesting take but I find the RISC argument to be completely flawed in light of ARM/M1.

Even accepting the distinction (which I don't agree with) between "non RISC-y" ARM (v7 and earlier) and "RISC-y" (v8 and later), Apple M1 is "RISC-y" by that definition (instruction set ARMv8.5A)[1]. And it's doing well.

One really tricky part of this is going to be that gallium alloys or otherwise attacks a LOT of metals including aluminum and steel. Still should be fine in glass or maybe there is a passivation trick that can prevent gallium attacking the surfaces.

Otherwise platinum on carbon (and now platinum/gallium alloy) can do lots of useful reactions mostly hydrogenations.
I believe that a company that does 6-day work week for 25% higher pay would completely put competitors out of business... and considering the world economy, NOW is the time to do THAT.

Changing to 4-day work week at this time just shows how out of touch some people are. It's only a matter of time before reality catches up to them.
But what is Dhall? Ok yes, something that helps you write config files because Kubernetes is a pain. I am not a DevOps person so I can't always empathise with the problems DevOps deals with on a daily basis. That something is written in Haskell for Haskell sake is not something I care about. Not that I dislike Haskell, PostgREST is written in it and that is one of the coolest and most productive things I know about, and it does not ask me to learn Haskell (just a lot of SQL).

How does it compare to something like CUE[1] which uses a lattice algebra to weave config files and code together to manage different configuration environments similar to how some computational-algebra-system use pattern matching and rewrite rules to encode mathematical knowledge.

I'm not familiar with how pricing precious metals works, but it looks like, as of this moment, gold is priced about 2x more than platinum[1]! Presumably these prices have quite a bit of variability, and gold and platinum switch places sometimes? (Although your main point about gallium being _way_ cheaper than gold/platinum holds for sure.)

If the upstream maintainers should fix, the distro maintainer is quite capable of forwarding the bug there.

The upstream developers here are complaining because they get the bug reports, but can't fix the issue (at least the way they want to).

That's independent on those few large groups that poped-up on the FOSS community that push a lot of badly maintained software. Yes, those are a problem too, just a different one.

That sentence stuck out to me too. It makes me wonder if the nature of America's representative democracy lowers the threshold by which our elected officials actually have to do a good job / serve the will of the people.

They constantly fall short, even of the narrow interests of whatever their particular constituency is. But there's kind of a floor where we just throw up our hands and say "WELL THEY WERE VOTED IN"

Do our officials receive less psychic pressure? Does the Chinese government work harder to align the populous' desires with their actions?

Pretty fascinating rabbit holes.
I have to wonder if deglobalization and expensive onshoring is as much of herd mentality as glocalization and offshoring have been. Sure, if the no college white males of the US get their demographic last hurrah and elect a populist isolationist who pulls America out of NATO, then, yeah, it's bad times for a rational set of international interdependencies.

Or, if the Taiwan and Korean foundries are the best on the planet, everyone should contribute to the international stability it takes to maintain access to those resources. Almost every part of the tech industry benefits from global low-friction trade.

Brexit regret is a solid majority opinion in the UK. The US recently lowered trade barriers to solar panels from China. Hopefully sanity prevails. While it is possible to overdo the offshoring and JIT inventories, increased trade volume makes everyone more prosperous.
> This is completely different from any other catalysis anyone has shown, that I'm aware of

The part right before that is much more interesting. I quote

>> The platinum is actually a little bit below the surface and it's activating the gallium atoms around it. So the magic is happening on the gallium under the influence of platinum.

So the gallium is doing the catalysis, but only when a platinum atom is somewhere around the gallium - spooky action at a distance stuff.

With Gallium doing the work, that explains "why we need so little platinum" detail.

Actual paper here - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41557-022-00965-6

The specific catalysis they're doing is "electrochemical methanol oxidation", so I assume this is a direct Methanol fuel cell catalyst.

As far as a I know, in the history of smartphones - which I'd say starts in 2007 with the launch of the iPhone - there have only really been 4 (or maybe 5) connectors used on widely sold phones:

1. Apple 30pin "iPod" connector

2. Apple Lightning connector

3. Mini USB (I don't think this ever appeared on anything but blackberries and cheapo flip phones?)

4. Micro USB

5. USB-C

So, while I agree that cable changes are annoying, and I support standardization efforts, "a new one every other year" is just not how it's ever been. 5 connectors in 15 years. The 30pin connector reigned from 2007 to 2012, and on the android side, micro USB was dominant until around 2015-2016 when USB-C started showing up on phones. Realistically, it's been a new connector every ~7 years.
