That has a) nothing to do with the topic at hand (improving recycling rates) anr b) isn't even effective. A deposit isn't a tax. You need to give the consumer money for actually bringing the product to a recycling spot, so a tax doesn't help. Psychological it's a better motivator if that money was originally paid by the consumer as in you're losing money you paid, if you don't bring it back, and it's also much easier to implement.

If you want to tax non-replaceable batteries that will just be factored into the price and the thing is that easily replaceable batteries are in conflict with other design goals consumers are willing to pay for (like water proofness).

I understand the frustration with non-replaceable batteries creating some kind of planned obsolescence, but there is no easy solution without sacrificing other things.

Looks like they have labels, but I desire tags (topic.subtopic.subtopic, multiple per note, with tag search on entering and searching).
If I understand correctly that’s 'Streaming ACN' e.g. more or less DMX512 over IP. In that case the image is generated on a beefy lighting desk/computer, not on the microcontroller inside the fixture (which is what this and e.g. the Lua project linked in another comment does)

Yes that is what I asked but I think you might be misunderstanding the answer.

If someone can hijack the DNS of a client, they can send the client to a totally different copy of the static site. The client will have no idea and the site could contain malicious code or information. With a certificate they will get an error saying this is not the correct site.

That assumes there has been no CA tampering or that they haven't managed to hijack the DNS of lets encrypt either.
Reminds me of one thing I hate about Excel (and Google Sheets):

There is no way to permanently disable scientific notation. I never want scientific notation. It's the 21st century and we use computers, we don't write numbers on paper and so don't need to shorten our numbers and even for people that do it should be opt-in or at the very least something that can be permanently turned off for users who will never use them.
These side effects are not rare at all. These side effects should have been caught in the original vaccine trials.

The fact that it comes out now tells you something went very wrong in the trials. In a functioning science, a careful postmortem of the vaccine trials would be in order.
The Czechoslovak Republic was pretty much the last democratic country in the region. To say that those elections were "not free" requires a massive amount of guts. They were as free as you get in that time and place. If 90% of a German minority votes for an openly Nazi politician with an openly Nazi agenda, then 90% of that German minority are openly Nazi. Case closed, period.

> the Sudetenland was dominated by a German minority, that German candidates fare better among German voters is not a big surprise

Ah, so they had to vote for the Nazi.

> joining Germany wasn't an unpopular policy, not in Austria nor in the Sudetenland, that a party favouring that policy does well during elections isn't a big surprise neither

Ah, I see. "That doesn't count because it was popular." I assume you must also be an apologist for illegal Russian annexation of parts of Ukraine as well?

> those elections envolved a lot of intimidation to vote for the SdP, that means better results for the SdP

Yes, so many years after comparably free German elections, Nazis got even more votes in a country with less previous Nazi influence, and that means that these vastly higher results (2x or so?) were due to "intimidation".

> Just one question, what is it with you trying to pin those Henlein election results on women?

I'm not "pinning the results on women". I'm pinning them on all Germans who voted that way, which does not exclude German women as some kind of a group repressed by some "male loserdom", as claimed above. They were complicit in it to pretty much same degree as the male part of the population.

Coffee ended up being much more than just the beverage for me. I've never been the type of person to pay for coffee at a coffee shop each morning, which took most of the social aspect of it away. And at the time, I was buying, yes, bad coffee - specifically, the second-cheapest espresso roast that turned out to be made by Folgers, in spite of what the front of the tin said.

It was actually a local radio station (WERS Boston) that got me into a similarly local coffee roaster (Atomic Coffee). I got a bag of their coffee with a donation to the station, and I was hooked. Enough so that I now take friends to their cafe to hang out, and work with them to cater the coffee for an event I help run every year.

What's more, a number of my coworkers are coffee drinkers - sometimes, we'll bring in coffee to share; sometimes, we'll discuss the merits and demerits of such-and-such single origin blend; sometimes, there will be holy wars about the use of a moka pot versus a Chemex, or whole-bean with a burr grinder versus pre-ground. But all in good fun.
For me that repeats the table of contents many times, and leaves the maths as Latex code instead of formatting it as formulas.
This was a really beautiful post.

As for coffee, like many other parts of life (movies, food, and music especially), I find that I like it very good or very bad—as long as it’s not down the middle, I can find a time/place to enjoy it.

I have a fairly expensive Rocket Espresso machine, I’ve learned some latte art. I have every coffee making contraption out there. And I enjoy all of it, at times.

When I’m in a hurry I’ll make instant or go to a gas station. Totally fine and the gas station coffee is kind of a favorite of mine for long trips in the car.

What I almost never do is buy Starbucks because to me, it feels like that middle-of-the-road experience. I’m not making a statement about the company or the culture or anything like that. It just feels like going to Applebees or something (yes you’re out to eat, but shouldn’t you just go somewhere nice or, on the other hand, somewhere cheaper/faster where you don’t have to tip?). It’s too acidic and too expensive for what it is. I’d rather pay for something nicer or go cheap.
One crucial thing about Rust's documentation is that your examples are run by the test infrastructure.

This makes logical sense. If the programmer provided an example of how to call some_function() then we should test that example works. If it doesn't work their example was wrong, or some_function() is broken, either way the programmer needs to fix that.

For the test infrastructure to run your examples, they must be code, not some sort of annotation.

The result is now you don't ship documentation which oops, is documenting the old some_function which had different behaviour and so of course that example doesn't work any more. Sorry, we didn't rewrite the docs yet, just go read this Discord thread and the six bug tracker entries it links...
150/yr doesn't sound to egregious for an app you actually use. Of course, it depends on your income, for some people it could be insane, but there are many people earning high 6 figures in tech (no, not me, not yet at least :) or even 7 figures - for them $150/year is like rounding error in their paystub, why would it be egregious? Of course, provided it is really useful for you, otherwise there's no point even for $15/year or 1.5$.

I am now thinking of all the time I spent in a split-level coffee shop in Seattle’s University district, and how little time I spent in it after it changed hands and name and became a Temple of Coffee Snobbery. Trabant got a name-drop in the graphic novel I was working on during that time, I couldn’t even tell you the name of the place that replaced it because their new vibe really just drove me elsewhere.

Buying local with coffee only goes so far. The beans have some deeply unethical producers and while fair trade and organic beans go someway towards helping with this, they are pricey.

Finish your education, get a job, move out, in that order. Work for a while, then think again about what you want to do.

Don't expect much from your investments, or from your business - neither of them is likely to work out.

I don't have any subscription aside from utility (including network).

I don't watch Netflix/Disney+ (anymore) as I realized there are too many good free contents out there on YouTube and such, and modern shows are pretty much garbage comparing to X-Files and "Yes (Prime) Minister". Those two and a few similar old-timers can keep me entertained till death (I'll just loop through them every year).

I don't have music subscription. Actually music subscription is a very alien idea. I buy cheap CD given the chance and they stay with me for a very long time, while subscription service could screw people if they want.

The only subscription I really have a motivation to purchase are high quality magazines. I don't have any yet because I'm a bit picky at the moment. I once purchased a year of "Archaeology" but then realized I don't really get much from it. It goes a lot more in-depth with books and academic papers. Actually, with the boom of Internet, very few magazines have reason to exist. I really enjoy the PoC GTFO magazine but it's free. Anyway I'll probably keep spending $0 on magazines and more on books.
They didn't pay for the processing.. We ignore a lot of cost when selling a product, and particularly the cost of recycling, which start to be a huge issue taking in account the amount of waste produced..

Haven't watched the video but I wanted to say I am a huge fan of him. His work outside of Mr. Bean and Blackadder (haven't seen it yet!) is hilariously funny to me, and him along with Monty Python were instrumental in my becoming very fond of the English humour and culture and eventually deciding to move here.

I got all of this sketches memorised. There's some kind of deep social intelligence behind his comedy, that's apparent when he's not in character, i.e. during an interview, where it's impossible not to be charmed by his eloquence and demeanour.

I recommend: the "beatings" and the Shakespearean actor sketches.

> failure to do so is also extremely serious because Unlawful Distribution may still be considered grounds for financial compensation as well as a Legal Notice to Cease and Desist, and also to remove all public and private use of the Trademark from all Records. mailing lists, bugtracker, debian archives - everything.

Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton apparently knows nothing about how trademark law works.

Having something trademarked does not mean the owner of the trademark has absolute control over its use and force you remove any mention of said trademark. Trademark protects your mark from being used by others, commercially, to describe or name their products.

I cannot open a burger stand and call it McDonalds. I absolutely can have a "McDonalds Enthusiasts website", and there is fuck-all McDonalds can do about it in court, because my use of the trademark is descriptive. I can have a mailing list for fast food enthusiasts for said website, and we can discuss McFlurries and Big Macs and all manner of McDonalds products that are trademarked. I can sell a "Big Mac Storage Container."

And further: no, there's no grounds for financial compensation because Rust would have to prove damages, and good luck with that.

Further demonstration that Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton apparently knows nothing about how trademark law works:

> and no, the existence of the Copyright License does not invalidate or override the Legal requirement to also comply with Trademark Law. it is astonishing the number of FOSS developers who genuinely believe that they can blatantly disregard Trademark Law "Because Open Source"

Debian can say that all it likes, and corporations do often try to give people the impression that they have less rights than granted to them under fair use doctrines.

I can still open and operate a company called KennyBlanken's Debian Consultancy Shop and there is fuck all the Debian project can do about it, because it is descriptive.

We are talking about Facebook here, the company that tracks unaware people as much as they can all over the internet, not just on their platform, and they created shadow profiles of people who never registered on their platform, which is something that is clearly against my terms of service, which they ignored. They never apologized or financially compensated me for that.

Why would someone want to defend that company?
Sort of. I just use a still photo of myself rather than live video. Nothing is really gained by the other party seing my lips move. I don't have to worry about whether I've shaved, or my hair is mussed up, or if I'm dressed in work attire, or if I'm looking at the screen. It's much easier to focus on the content of the call without all those distractions.
Alternatively and potentially easier so that you don't need to jump through all of the hoops of finding where they hid the unsubscribe button and futzing around with the app:

use one of those credit card privacy generating services and cancel the card or set limits on the cards use after you create it. it offers super granular control over who has access to how much of your money, how often and for how long.
The moka pot is how I transitioned from coffee as a utility drink to coffee I enjoy drinking. James Hoffman (popular coffee YouTuber) has a video[1] where he goes over what it takes to get consistently good results out of the moka pot - it's not easy. Used naively they kinda go heavy "bitter and dark".

What appealed to me about the moka pot at the time was the reeeeeally "strong" coffee flavor. As I've moved away from it, I think my palate was just geared towards really dark roasts - very little the bean brings to the table at that point.

I’m lazy and like coffee. The best middle ground I have found was a paper filter pour over with grocery store beans that I grind right before brewing. Whole beans ground at brew time is, for me, the biggest change.

You tend to find these sorts of spreadsheets everywhere though, not just massive companies but small businesses, charities, non-profits.

Wow. Just googling horse lifespan gives range of 25-30 years. Those horses must have been massively abused (or have huge disease problems) to die so quickly.

You'd think they'd have taken better care of them, since I imagine they weren't cheap. But I guess it's probably an example of market incentives creating perverse results quite different from what the propaganda would tell you.
Nothing is hard to understand, I just don't agree with your argument.

Facebook does not offer the ability to pay for an ad-free version, so who knows whether people are going to pay. I imagine many would. That said, I am not a member of Facebook's board, I'm not an employee, I'm not even a stockholder. I don't see how it is my ethical obligation to support Facebook's revenue stream. Since the terms of service are not negotiated between myself and Facebook, but written by their lawyers and presented to me implicitly on a "take it or leave it" basis, I do not feel that I've opted into that agreement, nor any obligation to abide by it.

Note that while I'm talking in the first person I don't literally mean me, as I don't use Facebook as mentioned in other comments, but any hypothetical consumer who wants to block ads or otherwise undermine Facebook's ability to track them.

Wouldn't be too bad for me (as a dev) if it's with the understanding that I'd be working part-time. Even 20 hours a week would net a pretty decent junior-level pay (and 10 would be even better).

How does that fit with the Nazis forming alliances with Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Thailand and even China at one point? Hitler agreeing to a pact with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to further German nationalism in the Near East? Then they had Muslim SS officers that had to stop training multiple times a day to pray to Mecca. Because Hitler was so anti-internationalist, the Nazis were eager to host the Olympics and invite people from around the world to show off their regime? What were they doing in Africa, were they defending the interests of the German state in the Sahara?

Don't be blinded by their propaganda, both Stalinism and Hitlerism and any totalitarian ideology is inherently internationalist. Because they tolerate nothing beside and beyond their own ideology, so they end up getting involved with the entire world always. It's about control and these regimes do not stop until their are either defeated of control the entire world.
Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed reading it.

I can totally relate to the what the author is saying. I went through a mini-version of the same journey.

For a while I was buying expensive beans, grinding them on a Baratza Vario (a mid-level grinder) to make espresso in my E-61 based heat exchanger machine. I made some excellent coffee with that setup and more than a few sink-shots.

I gave it up though because I found that the better I got at making coffee, the less I enjoyed it in general. I couldn’t enjoy a mug of diner coffee. I couldn’t drink the stuff they give you on an airplane or at a donut shop. I couldn’t deal with k-cups that work provided so I brought in a kettle and aeropress.

I’m better these days. Like the writer, I’m now able to enjoy just about any coffee I can get my hands on (although IHOP coffee still seems impossibly watery).

A few months ago I tried to go back to Firefox and used containers a lot. It works fine, but sometimes I'd pick the wrong container, defeating the point of using containers (eg: using Google Search for personal stuff while logged in to a work Google Account).

Containers are useful and we can do interesting things with them (eg: temporary containers), but they don't replace profiles. With a profile I don't have to mix personal bookmarks with work bookmarks, I can use different extensions/settings, a different theme so I don't use the wrong profile by mistake, etc.
Niklaus Wirth is the creator of Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon. He believe strongly that teaching programming is most effective when students can grasp the entirety of a small language.

Below are a few quotes taken from a 2018 interview with Wirth on the topic:

> "I thought, as I did in the Pascal times, the foundations have been laid when a person learns his first programming language. That’s the key.

In order to do a good experience, you have to have a clean language with a good structure concentrating on the essential concepts and not being snowed in. That is my primary objection to the commercial languages – they’re simply too huge, and they’re so huge that nobody can understand them in their entirety. And it’s not necessary that they’re so huge."

On further development of Oberon:

"The incentive came from colleagues mentioning that they had learned very, very much from my book called Project Oberon, which is one of the very few describe a full system and its development in detail. That’s something in computer science that is wrong. People learn to write before they have learned reading."
