413 comments and not a single mention of arabica beans? :-)

Maybe it's a local/German thing, but here you will not find a single brand that will not praise its 100% arabica beans content.

Now, we lived close to an old Italian guy who roasted coffee for a living in a small garage. A lot of it went to his families restaurant, coffee and ice cream place.

Whenever he got the chance he went on a rant that arabica beans were overrated and that the robusta beans he was using were superior in quality (and more expensive).

No idea if that is true, but his roasts were great, so there must have been at least some truth to it.
I should also mention that the overall goal is to have all the user's data stored on their individual phones with a private key that even we don't have access to.

For right now, that's overkill. But soon I am hoping that I can state any data-breaches are meaningless. Every record is encrypted with a different key that is inaccessible.

I believe "Anonymous but Verified" can solve so many problems. We can be a single source of "truth" for allowing both trust & privacy. We don't provide an identity, we provide proof an identity exists.

ev1, I would love to pick your brain. If you have a moment, please reach-out to jordanravka@trustme-its.me (with any luck, a few years from now I will never have to post my actual email again :)
Eventually I'd like to obtain a licence, at least the one for smaller planes.

But even if I get one, general aviation isn't really a thing here in India so it's kind of a dead-end.

I think USA is a better place for these kinds of activities, where the plane scene is much more active.
Which moka pot is this? I'm not aware of any that go above 3 bar and that is very far from being espresso unfortunately.
Okay but VS uses git now.
It occurred to me as I was sitting alone in my motel room, staring at a single-serving of peanut butter, a stale bagel, a bruised banana, and a three-quarters cup of single-serving Folgers coffee with the non-dairy powdered creamer and sugar packet, that this is what living after the apocalypse will be like. The coffee tasted of burnt toast soaked in whey. And yet I knew that in a future post-apocalyptic wasteland, this meal would be a luxury traded like gold. It felt like peeking behind the curtain to some alternate future where I was blessed with a bounty few could hope for. For a moment, in that cup of coffee, was a vision of a different life. That bagel, a different country to explore. And yet somehow, in every motel with a continental breakfast, that universe still exists, waiting to be visited.
You seriously underrate the broad expertise by millions of professionals needed to sustain just global electronics manufacturing.

A clear majority of colonists would necessarily be wholly occupied with just keeping the colony alive, breathing, and eating. So an extra population to do electronics, another for chemical engineering, another for mining, another for medicines, more for plumbing and electrical wiring, construction, pilots, drivers, agronomists, programmers, economic planners, dieticians, physical therapists, optometrists, lens grinders, glassmakers ...

There are reasons why exactly zero societies under a million sustain any of these industries domestically.
How do you know it would be a better world? How should we evaluate energy systems? How should we evaluate possible futures?
It's somewhat of an open secret that Apple gave up on games maybe two or three decades ago. Halo was being developed exclusively for Mac before Bungie was acquired by Microsoft; gaming on Mac was on the low burner ever since.

Don't hold your breath for a Mac port then. Instead, take a look at the ridiculously long list of platforms for which Skyrim is available, and pick one.

You may be (genuinely) surprised to know that's not because of display notation cut anything off it's because IEEE double floats are being used once it gets interpreted as a number and that's as far as the smaller digits in such a large number are accurately encoded for.

Exactly, mainly because nobody has a clue of their own data, so fast iteration is a must, and engineering in the IT departments supporting these solutions are some of the most clueless engineers I met.
I spent 17 years as a WFH product manager and, by far, my most performant meeting mode was on audio only conferences where I could free roam around my large house. Walking really makes a difference in my ability to think and communicate through complex problems.

The shift to video and its static position was a huge backslide in my ability to do my job well.
Rust actually solves the problem, although by taking a huge toll in the form of the borrow checker. It is a very good idea, but just see this thread, it is not applicable everywhere - which is okay. Rust is a low-level language made for low-level programs where absolute control over the execution is needed.

Swift chose a different approach, but their tradeoff was lower memory overhead vs performance. It is likely a worthwhile goal for mobile devices, but that is a niche. And by the way, for all practical purposes RC is a garbage collection algorithm, it just tracks dead links instead of live ones.

So there is one solution for correctness and safety without GC, which comes with plenty of warts. How exactly GC is not a boost in productivity?
Def a overreaction. I mean, yeah your shit startup won't get funded but that's not the whole tech world.
Honestly? Hated the coffee in Italy, found it sort of tolerable in Austria. However, that's almost certainly because I have no appreciation for robusta, even in blends. I'm a dark roast fan, even: we all tend to talk past each other because we haven't adequately appreciated just how learned (and ingrained) our preferences are.

(this is really in support of your overall thrust, I suspect)
I've also been following the work of Supercritical, who are tackling the high costs of deep drilling needed (in most locations) for geothermal energy.

I lost 100 pounds in a month and a half (cipro poisoning). I went from 240 to 142. I became skin and bones and I lost fat in those hard to lose places. I instantly felt different and people treated me differently.

What weight did you start/end at?
I can't immediately think of any really big differences, and the ones that do exist are more down to cultural differences (e.g. Google has a much more involved/rigorous code review process, which is reflected in their tools). Mercurial is definitely better than Perforce/Piper, but IIRC Google now actually has a very similar mercurial frontend wrapper that a lot of employees use.
This may be an even better article:

Yep, the relatively short plane with large wings.

Doesn't go fast, but it hovers in the air for quite a bit.

Does this until it hits the ground: Go down, gather lift and go up, reach stall speed, stall, repeat.

Nice to watch if you have a tiny one that you launch from a great height.
Do Russia have the economic means any more to go building new carrier groups, let alone new ballistic missiles?
Unfortunately compilers can't emit FMA instructions from regular floating point math without specifying (an equivalent of) `-ffast-math` as its results aren't identical to a*b + c done with two instructions.
> (Sure, I'll give you that it's better than Make, but is it faster than the Go compiler?)

It depends on what you're doing. If you're compiling pure go code that's truly only go, no go build will be faster. But if you have cgo or generated code or generated data or config files or...then well maybe you want something that is more flexible. And of course if you aren't building just go, then things get complicated fast. What if you have a backend and a frontend? `go test` probably isn't running your webdriver tests that compile your typescript somewhere in the build pipeline. Having a unified toolchain with one command (`blaze test //...`) is valuable compared to various test.sh (or make layered on top of n independent build systems or...)

And of course if you're like me and need to do things that involve reasoning or searching about code and dependencies, blaze is super necessary. "Find all of the dependencies of this file and test only those" is a question that most build tools aren't even remotely equipped to answer.

So in polyglot situations, bazel and similar prevail I think, but there's absolutely a point below which you don't care (and that point is going to be basically only hit by applications, not libraries).

Markdown is severely limiting for prose and blogging though and leads to unsemantic element abuse or having to do a lot of manual HTML markup (which with no controls over styles means you’re limited further). There aren’t good conventions for a lot of ‘normal’ concepts like admonitions, figures, definition lists, citing blockquotes, footnotes, table of contents, etc.

Another red flag to me is supporting GitHub-flavored Markdown over CommonMark which actually tries to follow good standards practice for everyone. Instead projects like Pandoc have to work hard on alternative parsers because GitHub does whatever it wants with little regard for CommonMark's RFC, and in some cases, even basic semantic HMTL.
You’re automatically “opted-in” by registering to vote. The parties all get access to your address, phone number and any additional contact information you included in your voter registration.

Political parties are also exempt from the do-not-call list rules and anti-spam rules. They carved themselves out some nice exemptions.
My interest in science started when a friend and I folded a few paper planes, tested them over a small downhill section outside my house, made notes about what worked, tweaked and experimented with new designs, and so on. It blew my little mind that with structured experimentation you could design things that actually got better with each generation. Where would the improvements stop?

With hindsight, I realise that most of the improvements we measured were really just statistical noise. We never had a control plane, so if one by accident flew better one test, then we would tweak something and then we would naturally see regression to the mean, but we would record that as a tweak that made things worse.

To little me it was a lesson in deliberate design. To grown-up me I guess it's a lesson in how easy it is to delude yourself without proper experiment design and statistics.

Anyway, then after seeing my interest my father brought me an early Windows program that contained animated instructions on some paper plane designs. One of them was vastly superior to anything I had ever seen. But with the years, I forgot how to fold it. I had been looking for it for over 20 years when a few months ago, I wanted to show my son (of two years) a good paper plane and guess what? I think I've found the design! But it took a blurry YouTube video and some trial and error. I ought to write it down some day.
> real beaches

Several years ago, there I was, on an incredibly beautiful beach in the bay of Thailand. The sun was warm, the water was mild and below the surface were a great number of vividly-colored creatures.

As I sat on the white sand, appreciating every moment I observed two beautiful French-speaking women rent snorkeling equipment and proceed to the water. They walked in, not much more than knee deep, and posed for some cellphone photography in the snorkeling gear. After getting the photos they wanted, they returned the gear and left.

I thought about how funny it was to be witnessing social media happening in real life. The veil is so real to those who don’t get to see behind it. When you do, it’s sad, and something to be pitied.

The dream those women were selling didn’t even exist for them. They didn’t enjoy the beach. They didn’t swim out to see the incredible ocean creatures. It existed for me. Average me was living their best life that day. I did the things they wanted people to believe they were doing, and they didn’t.

It’s really fascinating social behavior. My conclusion is essentially that social media creates a sort of fantasy that perfection is just barely out of reach… and feeding the addiction of continually moving onto the next thing, hoping to find it.

It’s probably the same reason people become serial online daters, and the reason for the success of those platforms. It causes people to become inflexible toward enjoyment or appreciation of reality… even in cases where reality is pretty damn near perfect.

In fact, x86_64 specifically guarantees the availability of SSE2.
That the Fields medal is in the public imagination at all is mostly due to its mention in the movie Good Will Hunting.

> What you said only applies to Latinos

No. What I said applies to all cohorts. Take a look at the bar chart entitled "Percentage of deaths vs. population". That's not broken out by race or gender, only by age.

Below 35 deaths are underrepresented. When you hit 35+ the inner bar (percentage of deaths) becomes a larger part of the outer bar (percentage of total population), by 50 it's nearly equal, and for 60+ deaths are overrepresented.
Until we switch to another architecture. It's pretty likely the x86 architecture will be gone in a few decades. Rebuilding VM software to run on new hardware is probably harder than fixing bugs in a JPEG decoder.
> Probably you need to send ships in pairs, so they can be swung on a cable between ships' noses for centrifugal gravity. That way their bones don't dissolve on the way. Will 1/3g be enough? Nobody knows. But it had better be.

I have some questions about this bit!

1.) Why would their bones dissolve? If bones aren’t used do they really just collapse? My hands don’t really experience gravity (I think!) and they are fine.

2.) Couldn’t you make some sort of exercise thingy that could simulate gravity?

Thanks!
What if you know that prod has a huge vulnerability actively being exploited. Will you wait for the QA to finish manual testing of the UI, or push the solution ASAP after the CICD pipeline turns green?

Still not a good analogy, but perhaps closer to the case.

Hah have had a standing desk that you can sit and code on too for ~ 6 years. I think I’m the other way around, I prefer standing for coding, as I can concentrate and forget which position my body is actually in. But meetings are just sooo much less bandwidth of information that I get bored easily. Standing for them just feels silly to me, so I either walk around or sit somewhere comfortable like a couch / sofa / balcony and enjoy drinking some tea.
Yes, but the immediate threat to humanity is atmospheric CO2. Not landfill space nor "running out of oil".
There's definitely been a "death spiral" for some of these instructions.

Nobody used "LOOP", for example, so it tended to be poorly optimized, which made compilers even less likely to use it-- just use the seperate instructions that have similar effects. Eventually it actually became a liability to run it efficiently. (The famous "Windows 95 won't work right on a fast K6-2" bug is based on this problem-- LOOP was much less efficient on a Pentium than a K6)
Unfortunately I'm confident that the FDA will make it hard enough to prescribe (need to get it through a GP, only after you've tried diet and exercise, only for a limited duration) that it's only ever used by a tiny fraction of the target population.

Aardman's stop-motion TV series Shaun the Sheep also does not use speech and relies on visual comedy. There are even two feature-length films - both devoid of any dialogue or narration.
The link is actually to a censored version of the review which omits the sentence "I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler."

An uncensored copy of the review which does contain that sentence is here: https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks16/1600051h.html

Here is a reference from the NYT to show that yes, he really said this: https://www.nytimes.com/1984/06/22/opinion/l-orwellian-ambiv...

The fact that most of the copies of Orwell's review of Mein Kampf have replaced this sentence with "..." is downright Orwellian.
It's very hard to qualify, I suppose. We just have our anecdotes.

I've definitely noticed that the more formal education people have had - and the better they've done in that system - the less socially conservative they are. I live in a rural working class area but work remotely with middle class professionals from big cities, there's a pretty distinct divide in social attitudes.

As for attitudes in the upper class, I can't speak to that.
Sure. For context, I started about 150-160 lb overweight, meaning that many lbs away from having a BMI in the normal range. I was very obese, BMI in the 40's, I think. I started out by just restricting my calories in my diet (1100-1300 cal each day roughly [1], but I still saw some decent wt loss with up to 1600-1700 cals). My core weight loss diet has changed *a lot* but has generally been a mix of whole grains, fruit, veggies, dairy, and a serving of poultry. Hard to explain in one post, but I can try to be more specific if you'd like. 3-5 meals a day, no I.F., just ate less and I felt less hungry overall. The cravings have come and gone at different periods, though, never totally gone.

For the first ~70 lbs, I was able to lose 10 lbs in 1-2 weeks by staying on the diet religiously each day. I mainly ate the same exact meal plan every day. (I spent a lot of my day thinking about all the great food I missed.) After that week or two, I would "take a break" and get takeout or other nonsense each day for some weeks following that. Perhaps lucky on my part, I wouldn't generally see much weight come back, maybe only 2 or 3 lbs. In summary, my cycle was diet 1-2wks, break for a while until I convinced myself to get back on the wagon, and repeat. It always helped to see that the first few days of dieting were the ones where I lost the most weight, before it slowed down.

To answer the exercise part, literally all I did was take 1-2 walks a day of 30 min each. Not a brisk walk, just walking around the town or our trails. Occasionally I felt like trying to jog or run, or do some lifting, but never got consistent with it. Sometimes I paced around my apartment thinking about how to solve work problems, but that was about it.

Since I lost that first 70 lb, the rate of weight loss has gradually slowed. These days I sometimes lift weights or do cardio to help see a little more loss each day. If I'm consistent, my weight loss is like 3-4 lbs/week, but I haven't done it lately. Gotta get back on my diet soon.

[1] sidenote, that includes fiber calories which I think technically are not supposed to be included. I'm no nutritionist, even though I came up with a lot of this diet myself using some Internet research and Cronometer.

To elaborate on this, higher frame rate video registers the same way to people who aren’t aware that’s what they’re noticing. I was discussing this with my dad just a little over a week ago, where he noted some portion of a movie looked lower production than the rest of the movie. I had noticed it too, because it was visibly higher frame rate. Lower frame rates more closely match the visuals of film, and higher frame rates more closely match the production of daytime TV like judge shows and “soap operas”, and that’s what they visually evoke.
The problem is that these usernames are used to represent companies. They say "Follow us on social media: @Swann" but "Follow us on social media: Swann#58139" would be much harder for customers and potential customers to remember, and could lead to fat-fingered phishing and other issues.

My most recent comment was not about the merits of the argument for repeal. It was about the way you used the term "wokeness". You didn't say something like "wokeness has gone too far." That would grant some ethical ambiguity to the word. You used it as something that is inherently bad and needs to be avoided. People who do that generally have an awful definition for the word and are usually already so set in their ways that there is no point to debate the issue.
It was interesting to me.
