There are other (better) but more expensive ways to prevent damage to the motor. The plastic gear in a mixer is the cheapest way to solve the problem while also ensuring the device wears out fairly quick compared to a better built unit.

Nothing uses Ethernet-over-HDMI. It doesn't actually exist outside of a spec proposal. Even though in theory it'd be really cool. Imagine if your receiver could also be the network switch for all the devices. I'd actually pay money for such a thing. But, yeah, not actually a thing it turns out. So you definitely don't need to worry about your smart TV using it any time soon.
There's no fundamentals so it's not strictly an "investment" as the term is usually used in finance. Investments have to trade at some multiple of book value, and book value is zero.

We all know technology constantly changes and progresses, and I've always thought that's fine...I want tools that won't change every 5 years

Look dude, I've been doing this for 40 years - yeah, since you've been in diapers! It's always been this way. You can't say I love change! Bring on the change! and then when it happens be all like, wait! that's not the change I thought would happen!

The change that happens is never the change you thought would happen! That's the first thing everyone here had better understand when considering this industry for the long haul. Change is going to happen and it's not going to be the change you expected. A lot of times it's going to be the same "stuff" in new packaging.

Having said all that, I started my career building real-time kernel extensions. Now I'm managing a company's transition to AWS. Yes, AWS. Lambda functions, RDS, SQS, S3, Lex - it's all server less. We're not using Typescript though, have no idea why you guys thought that would be a good idea unless you're building Node.js apps. We use Python. So yeah, I've moved from x86 assembly (the first 4-5 years of my career!) to C, to C++, to Java, back to C++, back to Java, to C#, back to Java again but now with some JavaScript, and now to Python. Looks like I need to do some work in K8S using Go for my upcoming project. That doesn't even include all the languages I've used for side projects such as Lisp, Clojure, Scheme, Haskell, and a teensy bit of Rust.

Honestly though, compared to where I started 40 years ago where we are today is awesome! Basic gave way to Python, C gave way to Go/Rust, and C++ - well we learned a lot of anti-patterns from C++, didn't we?! :)

Add in AWS and now I'm able to deliver solutions that were practically inconceivable just five years ago - and I can deliver those solutions in a handful of sprints! Who gives a rat's behind if it's here in 10, 15, or 20 years? I've seen software that's 15-20 years old and nobody wants to touch that stuff, let alone make any enhancements. My 40 years of experience has taught me trying to envision anything beyond 5 years is a fool's errand.

Maybe you're having a midlife crises and are now realizing everything you've ever made is destined to be tossed aside and forgotten. Even the human race is going to be extinct one day and the Earth is going to be subsumed into the Sun. Who cares? Doesn't mean I can't have fun under that sun today!
Of course, the philosopher's stone has always been a great solution, hasn't it?

The technicalities can't be that hard, can they?
As far as I can tell, the last extension (sometimes called the Mickey Mouse protection act) was in 1998[1]. Steamboat Willie (the first Mickey Mouse film) will enter public domain in 2024 if nothing changes before then.[2] I guess we still have to wait 2 more years to see if Disney is able to extend copyright again, or if they plan to take a softer approach to protect the Empire this time.

For the critics, this is basically a way for Wikimedia to charge for high throughput access from commercial users, as well as normalizing the API. These corporations already crawl the entirety of this space, both the HTML and the wikitext. Why wouldn't they if the license allows it?

As long as dumps remain available for free (which as I understand they have to) the community loses nothing, and corporate actors get to contribute a bit more. I don't see things like Kiwix going away any time soon.

I've always wished you could put function tests in the comments that would compile time evaluate (or at least let you run a localized version of just that function), and could then WARN YOU when you've broken parity with whatever test/example you put together right there.

Yes a unit test will show you that something is changed, but often it's the comments that don't get updated.

Hell maybe just let us flag the comments that will need to be changed if X or Y unit test fails. Just some way to better link comments to code adjustments.

This is generally true about every company though. Someone can always swoop in, and huge incumbents can always do it cheaper, at least in theory.
Often, the best satire exists in a state of cognitive dissonance, with absurd characters acting in obviously ridiculous ways that nevertheless feel like the product of the exact same systems that govern our lives, with the obfuscation swept away.

Dr Strangelove and Catch-22 are my favorite examples. The 60s US nuclear policy wasn’t really set by generals named Jack Ripper who want to inflict atomic hellfire because of baseless conspiracy theories… except that’s the chain of order the bureaucracy produced, with a longer timeframe and more words. Catch-22 is a comedy because the betrayals, idiocy, and soulless power moves all occur in one squadron with one or two links between people, instead of over the breadth of the theater and spread over many people so every step looks reasonable.

It’s very hard to make this kind of satire because condensing and heightening narratives like that makes it so, so easy to tilt things a little more in favor of your ideas, which immediately loses that ephemeral sense of reality and turns your satire into a sermon with clown makeup. This is why there are so many attempts and so few successes. I’d say Disco Elysium is one of those successes.
My impression of supernatural from the website is that they are showing you exotic locations, not your living room. So you won’t be seeing your surrounds during normal play. Is this wrong?
> But the chances of reverse-hijacking are really REALLY slim - virtually all HDMI devices employ a retimer/redriver chip in front of the output

So what? The retimer chip doesn't touch the i2c lines, or even if it provides some ESD protection and buffering, it doesn't alter their data content. Software running in the PC is still talking to software running in the monitor's scaler chip.

You can play with i2c-tools under linux to verify this. I've been using HDMI's i2c port to talk to the i2c EEPROMs on SFP transceivers: https://i.imgur.com/T7cY01m.png

We got a lot of value out of ours in an academic research context but switched around 2002 when they just couldn't manage to be price-competitive. We ended up with Spinnaker, Isilon, and NetApp boxes which were all Linux-based, although with some custom extensions (if memory serves, we found a bunch of correctness issues running fsx against Isilon because their filesystem implementation wasn't as robust as the stock Linux filesystems).

I see comments here expressing skepticism that any but a nation state threat actor would try to pull off an exploit taking advantage of this, but considering the possible targets, that is exactly who you might be looking to defend against. The clearest target, to me, is air-gapped systems that also disable USB ports, but still allow workers to use external monitors. That is effectively any classified computing environment, and clearly the threat actors targeting state secrets are overwhelmingly going to be other states.
I can't list that, but both companies migrated to serverless and both companies are glad they did.

There is more than "raw dollar amount on monthly bill" to account for in cost, as well. For one, there's stability and the toll that takes on both your team and your customers. Not saying non-serverless apps are not stable by nature, but I've now been part of two teams that have seen the same types of benefits and those benefits line up with the "sales pitch" benefits.
...and the reason they're sparking wildfires is because there's excess tinder due to human interference with the natural wildfire cycle, and that tinder is very dry because of human-induced climate change.

> To better document this fowl play, Taylor Barnes, a biologist at EDM International, an engineering consultancy firm in Colorado, collected data on wildfires across the United States. He and his colleagues used Google Alerts to monitor fires started by birds between 2014 and 2018, using keyword pairs: “fire” and “eagle,” for example.

So their "research" consisted of casual Googling? They didn't even cross-check any Fire Service, insurance, or other sources about the causes of wildfires?

> says Antoni Margalida, a conservation biologist at the Pyrenean Institute of Ecology who has studied the impacts of wildfires caused by birds and other fauna in Spain but who was not involved with the work.

and then they quote a guy who "has studied" it in Spain but wasn't involved with this. Then they quote two other studies from four years ago.

I wonder why those fancy high-tech Japanese toilets haven't caught on over here ("here" == Germany, but I suspect the situation is very similar in most places that aren't Japan). From what I heard they are like a toilet with a builtin bidet.
Some Japanese toilets have a system to create negative pressure so that no aerosols escape even when the lid is down.

AFAIK, shower heads are also problematic. I recall NHS conducted a study and they concluded many vulnerable patients get infected by aerosols during showering. Shower heads that are not cleaned periodically get very nasty biofilm buildup inside the head.

I think that as a consequence some NHS trusts switched to some showerheads that get cleaned and rotated periodically.

OMG, a friend convinced my girlfriend to spend a weekend in the Cotswolds, allegedly the best place in England or whatever.

I’ve never been in a more isolated, yet overcrowded and noisy place in my entire existence. The quality of housing is abysmal as everywhere in the UK.

There was this weird dinosaur park/thing, “children love it!” they told me, that’s the best way of getting a mental breakdown.
As a stick, VKB Guardian NXT Evo Premium, and either a 2nd one of those for HOSAS or a Thrustmaster TWCS throttle with Nyogel 767a applied to prevent sticking on the rails.

The stick is $200 including a substantial shipping fee from China. The TWCS comes bundled with a (worse) stick at $145, and you can resell the bundled stick for $70 new bringing the throttle cost down to ~$75. Nyogel is ~$13 on Amazon.
The verb "should" does a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

Because, if they don't pay these folks... I mean, who does that hurt? The concept of intellectual property exists to incentivize creating valuable art/literature/code. In theory at least, we agree to uphold IP laws because we recognize that more value gets created when they're a state enforced monopoly on the person who came up with that piece of art/literature/code.

But we also recognize that sometimes these laws go too far; eg that there are patent trolls and corporations fighting public domain and game publishers going after anyone who makes a let's-play of their video.

In those case, it's reasonable to think the world would be better off if we all shrugged and told the IP holders "too bad, someone else is going to create value off your work and you're not going to get a cent from it, we just think it's not worth building and maintaining a nightmare bureaucracy just so you can tax them".

And from that point of view... Copilot is fine? It's not like the people posting code on Github or StackOverflow were thinking "I'm only doing this because I know a future AI 10 years from now won't scrap the code I wrote to train a neural network to create a code completion engine". Yeah, yeah, this breaks the spirit of the GPL and Stallman's vision, etc, etc.

But... I mean, at some point, you got to stop debating semantics and wonder what we're coding for. What Microsoft has created is a tool that can collectively save developers billions of man-hours. It's a net good for humanity. As far as I'm concerned, the fact that this net good was developed is infinitely more important than the fact that Microsoft didn't pay royalties to a nebulous amount of developers who wouldn't have noticed anything if Microsoft hadn't developed Copilot.

tldr MIT license is great, piracy is great, fanfiction is great, screw the very concept of intellectual property.
Well, if there isn't, Ive shouldn't have used the word "best"! It sends the wrong message. Designers should be careful with their words.

It’s interesting that you’re putting so much blame on the media here, when - as you said - “Then the attention-seekers from the right side picked it up and started exaggerating the issue to get visibility to their personas”.

> Mild and reasonable concerns

The concerns are not reasonable, and not mild. This idealistic “all orientations have this problem” take is blind to the fact that this is criticism leveled at the LGBTQ community for decades.

The media “swept it under the rug” because the association with LGBTQ people isn’t necessary to address the societal issue of sexual abuse. They rightfully didn’t want to revive the tired slurs of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

> In others teaches will be financially incentivized to reach the quota of trans students, as it will be seen as helping people find their true identity.

This is just nonsense. I’ve been trying to engage in good faith so far, but the idea of “trans quotas” is completely ridiculous.

I don't understand what goal that will accomplish. You might wash the walls of the toilet slightly, but that's not where the bacteria are, they would be in the center, in the bulk of the material.

Plus toilets are designed to prevent you from doing that, they try very hard to be either fully closed, or fully open.

And, even if you succeeded, by releasing some water in advance, you reduce the pressure of the flush, which would elongate it, instead of rapidly removing the material, and time with water flowing = amount of aerosol.

This plan seems counterproductive.
