I have had mine for a couple years now and I love it so much that I bought a second one as a spare.
I typically just ignore if for 30 minutes. It seems that they do learn eventually!
I like FPSes but I don't like multiplayer games. So I play single player FPSes, even if they are worse, because multiplayer ones are not fun for me. Craiyon, DALLE 2, and Disco Diffusion all offer a less social and direct interface in the same space as MidJourney and may be better to experiment with until MJ provides some sort of Web interface, as I imagine they will at some point.

IMHO the biggest issue with GraphQL is that it's often used in a way that effectively breaks encapsulation. When you use GraphQL, it's hard to limit the API surface of a service to avoid exposing implementation details. This means it's difficult to modify the internals of a service without breaking its clients, and it can make things like testing and versioning more of a challenge.
Yes. [1]

You don't own them, but they sure do everything possible to obfuscate that fact. Regulation will likely be needed as the sellers have shown they will do what it takes to deceive the customer.

For example going to the Steam checkout page it very clearly states that I have the option to "Purchase for myself" or "Purchase as a gift". I, like most English speakers, understand the word "Purchase" to mean something very specific. The words license, lease, rental, etc. do not even exist anywhere on any page in the checkout flow all the way through entering your payment information. I can only assume this omission is by design.
The author of this post is not a scientist, but rather a journalist with no scientific credentials, who has a long history of being a promoter and propagandist for the meat industry:

"Meat lobby peddles doubt to undermine dietary guidelines

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, updated every five years, never fails to cause a stir. For the current revision, released in February, a federally appointed scientific committee — after a two-year review of the latest research and numerous public hearings — has recommended (PDF) lowering consumption of red meat and processed meat.

Despite being fairly tepid, this advice set off a media firestorm, driven by a defensive meat industry and others who have been muddying the waters for some time on the role of meat in the diet. The meat lobby is taking full advantage of the current “debate.”

Adding to the confusion is Nina Teicholz, the best-selling author of “The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet,” whose recent attempts to discredit the committee’s recommendations on meat have been published in The New York Times, alongside meat industry trade publications such as Beef Magazine and Cattle Network."

GraphQL isn’t a panacea. It has strengths and weaknesses.

This is true of any technology, so if you think the tech you are using doesn’t require a trade-off of some sort, you are likely missing something.

I’ve yet to select GraphQL over straight RESTful APIs, but I also don’t work in an ecosystem where disparate client needs are important.
It depends on the kind of application and scale. Consider a large and complex application like Discord or Figma. Past a certain point, it's hard for anyone to know how every single detail works.

You should probably be comfortable enough to work with both ends of the spectrum, but specialization allows you to do a much deeper dive into complex subjects.

A backend engineer probably has a much deeper understanding of every little nuance of their prefered database. A great backend engineer can make sure that you're getting near-optimal performance from every important query.

A frontend engineer probably knows about various UX techniques along with how to avoid unecessary reflows and repaints. A great frontend engineer can implement a UI toolkit as well as advanced techniques such as windowing.
I think I want to do the opposite of reading my mind to be honest. The default cell type is generic, so just assume everything is a string and don’t do any parsing. Maybe show a tooltip to quickly change the cell type if you detect something that might be a number or a date.

Probably it’s just different usage - when I use excel is mostly to store a table of raw data where I want to store the actual data, not what excel thing the data is. I’m using it as the equivalent of a database, but simple to update and share with other people (even not technical folks) or to open a csv and quickly hide/filter some data.
Same. At least in my years that I actually needed this, they didn't have it. So I use Wolfram Alpha [1]. (Well, you probably still should use that instead if you have extended use, since it's far more advanced).

Your expectation is that it should destructively change what you enter? Why not even just store what I put in and cast when necessary?

Zip codes are not a weird edge case either.
This is probably not best practice but I just throw it in the backlog. There's always too much stuff in the backlog. Maybe theoretically someday another dev will write it and submit a PR. Maybe the requester will.

This doesn't apply as well if it's a feature you actively do not want in the product.

I think a lot of people have a hard time with the idea that you could believe something enough to actually change the direction of your life in response to that belief. It raises a lot of uncomfortable feelings to see someone do that.

Great books are often cross-cultural. We Russian kids enjoyed Tom Sawyer very much. “It”s not every day that a boy gets a chance to paint a fence”… There was (and is) a lot of buzz in Russian culture about Moby Dick though I personally failed to enjoy it. Never heard of Of Mice and Men though - probably because our communists were rather puritanic.

I think problem was that planting a book-reading habits require a lot more work than providing books.
My main gripe with it is it’s an added level of indirection that makes debugging just a little more difficult.

Back in the good old days, you could open up the network tab, see the request made by the client and copy as curl to debug it.

Now with SSR and graphql, such a workflow is out the window.

I am 70 and based on my parents and my older siblings I probably have 7 or 8 years left.

Get used to the idea of dying. It's going to happen to you and everyone you know. For the living, quality of life is important. Don't scarifice quality for duration. I want to die before my mind goes. If that means sooner, so be it. When I am dead I won't have regrets, so it's ok.
The Commonwealth was an interesting entity.

Lithuanians were the last remaining pagans in Europe, retaining a lot of pagan customs and practices even after their nominal conversion to Christianity. Poles were much more devout Catholics.

The two languages are absolutely mutually incomprehensible, plus there were significant minorities that spoke other incomprehensible languages.

There wasn't any good road system etc., and the country had just a few ports worth their name. It also existed a dangerous neighbourhood: Prussia, Sweden, Turkey.

But it still endured for 400 years. That is quite remarkable. If I saw a Linux server with 25 years uptime, I would be equally surprised.

Plus, small local bookstores have no idea who you are (in general) when you walk in the front door. No tracking codes, no "browsing history" in your back pocket.

You get to have full and total anonymity (even if you're a regular, your path through the store will be yours and yours alone). You can browse the aisles and look at any old book's spine you please, pull it off the shelf and read the inside cover or maybe some employee notes on a card if there are any.

And the next time you come in, that book won't be in the front window since you touched it. You can start the whole process over again.

~~Few plants built after the non-proliferation treaty, because many plants were subsidized by proliferation needs.~~ (not true, see comments for correction) Nuclear plants don't even really pay insurance, they have $15 billion liability cap on the entire industry, when there are possible $1 trillion+ single incident disaster scenarios.

Our first change should be that nuclear plants have to pay enough insurance to cover their full liability. Better to tax fossil than just hand out huge nuclear subsidies that risk safety. Let them both account for their risk and externalities individually.

The Price Anderson Nuclear Indemnities Act was supposed to be temporary while the insurance industry for things stabilized:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price%E2%80%93Anderson_Nucle...

> The act was intended to be temporary, and to expire in August 1967 as it was assumed that once the companies had demonstrated a record of safe operation they would be able to obtain insurance in the private market.

There are some similar liability caps on oil spills and dam failures that should also be removed.

I'm happy to read this. I had to use GraphQL once in an old job and I hated, hated the freaking thing with a passion, but there was so much hype about it I concluded the problem with it was caused by myself, a getting older and more close minded self. I see now that GraphQL may not be that wonderful, after all.
So, what is Bitcoin? Is it like Gold, or a Currency, or a Stock?
Strong agree. “Lobbyist” has a precise legal meaning and they are required to register with the House and Senate if they are a federal lobbyist and each state has its own registration process if they are lobbyists at that level. It does not appear this person is a lobbyist. Holding an opinion is not enough to make you a lobbyist, nor is expressing that opinion in a published work.

Still, if you know how to use Excel, you can set the columns with names as text.

The final effect is a combination of a stupid default behaviour summed to the incompetence and lazyness/sloppyness of the people involved.

Anyone talking about the issues put all the blame on Excel, which is (IMHO) not fair.
caveat: if you say "pull requests welcome", you should be actually willing to consider and merge a potential pull request. If you don't want the feature at all, be clear about that.

You may be interested in the history of the Semipalatinsk Test Site, and what happened when the USSR broke up.

There was something of a heroic, very secret effort to get the place more or less secured and reduce its proliferation risk.

> Some of these tests—particularly tests involving plutonium—did not vaporize the material in a nuclear blast. It remained in tunnels and containers, in forms that could be recovered and recycled into a bomb. In addition, the Soviet Union discarded equipment that included high-purity plutonium that would have provided materials and information that could lead to a relatively sophisticated nuclear device if it had been found.

> When scientists and military personnel withdrew from Kazakhstan following the collapse of the Soviet Union, they abandoned tunnels and bore holes filled with plutonium residue—enough plutonium, if fully reclaimed, for terrorists or a state to construct dozens of nuclear bombs. Between 1991 and 2012, scavengers looking for valuable metal and equipment from the former Soviet test site came within yards of the unguarded fissile material; in two cases the scavengers broke into the vessels used to contain some of the experiments, although there is no evidence that they removed any plutonium.

I probably should have mentioned that the three I listed above aren't the three the headline is talking about. The three the article talks about were all assembled: one in Georgia (USA), one in Greenland, and one in the Philippine Sea.
modern mastering does not optimize fidelity in a car at the expense of other modes of listening, and these articles do not indicate as such.

modern mastering does take into account a highly popular listening environment, to ensure that the mix sounds good there as well.

the second article you posted is talking about using a car as one of several environments in which to test a mix. because it’s a “known” reference in a real-world environment (your ears are used to listening to mastered music on a car stereo).
I imagine that everything worth reading is available on Amazon and rated in Goodreads.

Then you should broaden your imagination.

Amazon and Goodreads have barely a fraction of one percent of the books that were published. And that's just in English.

It's like saying "Anything worth watching is on streaming," even though less than 5% of the world's video content ever made the translation from film to VHS to DVD to streaming. Or paper to records to tape to CD to streaming.

There's a whole vast world of content out there beyond the internet. Once you discover this, it's like taking a pill in The Matrix.

(My metaphor might be off there, as I've never seen The Matrix, but from what I understand from other people's conversations, that should work.)
I figured it was this as well - the motivation for performing the study is the anecdata from self-reports on microdosing with traditional techniques. I suspect that, if they had seen strong evidence for microdosing here - they would have moved on to investigating the effect in detail.
Playing into and encouraging other people's delusions isn't helping them.

100% agree that it’s about dependence on other teams. That said, I’d much rather that we were communicating across a well defined api boundary, rather than a graphql api. You could, of course, very easily do this with an api layer in the middle.

"is neither cheap nor all that clean."

In terms of greenhouse gas emmissions, it's very clean. That's the whole point of bothering with green energy.

"If you are in a location with plenty of sunlight and wind, I don't see how this could possibly by less expensive than some kind of integrated wind turbine/solar PV/solar thermal linked-to-storage grid of the same capacity."

Unsurprising - things that exist are generally more expensive than things that don't. I'm not sure how you can even assess the cost of storing the power from those sources to compare them.

Until a realistic method of storing that energy is created (if it ever is), nuclear as well as waste-incineration and hydroelectric are superior by virtue of being viable.
I think that (like me) you overestimate the size of population looking for an opensource trackpoint design. For your trackball example there's the Ploopy [0], but even there we're still dependent on something like the PMW3360 sensor board (which afaik isn't open).

I just can't picture how designing and manufacturing a new trackpoint board from scratch - one that competes with the excellent Trackpoint IV modules that are used in the also excellent TEX[1] trackpoint keyboards - would ever be profitable, or worthwhile given that there are patents and licensing issues to deal with.

If, OTOH, you're just after a trackpoint module and a stem extension that works, check out the Sprintek SK8707 on Jonas Lang's Trackpoint Groupbuy discord [2].

I don’t actually see any mention of gender identity other than a bit in the introduction that says they’re going to ignore it?

Anyway, science has always been political, and will continue to be for as long as it’s carried out by humans. (The least charged [hah!] example that immediately comes to mind is Millikan’s measurements of the electron.) Comparing this to Lysenko seems a bit of a stretch, though; this is more akin to the euphemism treadmill, where scientists find that they must select their words very carefully to tiptoe through a thicket of popular opinion.

The problem is that, because gender has become a hot-button political issue, textbook authors have to take the Standard Scientific Asterisk (“things are complicated, boundaries are fuzzy, this is a simplification”) and write it out in excruciating detail to prevent their textbook from being cited as ‘proof’ by biological essentialists using it to further their agenda.

Eventually the march of progress will (hopefully) relegate all this to a footnote again, but for the moment it’s visible as a lump in the text: a metaphorical callous developed from constant prodding.
Let's note that part of them are down now for planned maintenance that had to be delayed because of the pandemic. Hopefully, this is not going to be a recurring event.

Water temperature is also a problem, but, again, is something that is going to resolve itself "at some point".

Finally, others are closed for potentially recurring corrosion issues, and _that_ is the really problematic stuff since most of our reactors were built around the same time.

I don't exactly understand why everyone is tiptoing around the fact that we're going to have electricity shutdowns this winter in Europe, when the gas that's supposed to full peaked plants is going to be missing.

Sadly there is not much we can do to prevent it, at the moment, and at least a good old blackout and a few shortages at gas stations might make some people take energy issues seriously.
Does your daily routine change when you microdose? Do you still take the cold shower and meditate and all that regardless of it being a microdose day or not?

I found that when I was microdosing it made me way more mindful and apt to make "good/healthy" choices than normal. I think this is a tremendous benefit but for me very difficult to differentiate from a placebo effect.
BOM is a Windows specification. Its stupid, and most non-Microsoft editors don’t do it any more, but it’s a known hazard when on Windows.
The leading +1 on international numbers is a pain too.
The GraphQL specification doesn't mention HTTP. It's just a query language, like SQL, but with a different focus. I understand what people complain about in this discussion. It makes sense. Talking GraphQL between client and server can be a headache. That said, I'd like to propose a completely different use case. Have you thought about using GraphQL as a "meta-language" to compose APIs? A pure Server-Side solution to manage APIs as "dependencies", and turn them into a JSON-RPC API as you need them. I wrote about this here: https://docs.wundergraph.com/docs/architecture/manage-api-de...

I'm curious what people think about this use case of the Query language.
That’s good to know, I had bad luck with it then. But even so, you also lost the ability to use testing patterns like the page object model where you can update changing IDs or flows more easily - if something changes drastically early in the recording, wouldn’t it need to be re-recorded for all test cases?
