No right is unlimited and this has been upheld many times. From the decision Columbia v. Heller [1] which was delivered by Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito all conservative and and actually struct down some restrictions:

(2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court's opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. Miller's holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those "in common use at the time" finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.

I'm excited to see this, and I'm sure they'll work this out, but I sure hope I don't have to keep dependency versions in sync across all of my import statements. I don't have much love for package.json and node_modules, but it is nice to have one source-of-truth for all the dependencies of a project.
I live in a tick-infested area. They come into the house. They bite you at night: I usually find them first thing in the morning as I'm getting dressed (they weren't there the previous evening when I prepared for bed). Their bites are (usually) painless, they stay latched on for one to three weeks, and the bites only really itch after they've dropped off (and then they really really itch and it takes about 18 months for the marks to disappear). And yes, I've been treated for active borelliosis more than once.

You can not escape them. They will come for you.
> Nonsense. The difference can easily be 10% of gross income.

The use of "easily" is maybe a bit spun, that's at the outer edge of the distribution (e.g. moving from NY to TN, Seattle to Cleveland might net you quite a bit less). But sure, that's about right. A 10% change in income is really worth an unqualified "avoid these states" recommendation to you? That seems unjustified to me.

(Especially since employers already know this. 10% is in fact more than the penalty I already "pay" simply for living outside the Bay Area myself!)
You should definitely come to Lancaster PA!!!!

There are lots of houses downtown for less than $400K and even new "luxury" condos going up everywhere.
There is a convenient train that can have you in Philly in an hour for <$20. (also goes to NY)
You can be in Baltimore and DC in a few hours and you can be in the Poconos for skiing in the same time.
There is the oldest continuously operating farmer's market downtown. (and tons outside the city)
There is a thriving art scene (and college).
There are tons of ethnic restaurants (there are a lot of relief and refugee orgs).
You can be at the beach in two or three hours (depending which one).
There are tons of outlets for shopping east of town if that's your thing.
There is very little traffic except for 3 specific bottlenecks that you'll learn to avoid.
There is a thriving tech community with several weekly meetups that discuss new tech at a local bar.

Come live with the cool kids.

I expect that since these tractors run Linux and probably aren't GPL compliant. If that is true and if the Software Freedom Conservancy win their lawsuit against Vizio, this means that farmers across America will be able to sue John Deere for GPL compliance and start an open source distro for tractors.

Solar might also provide better shade for livestock and cropping growth, particularly in future days of greater heat.

> Sheep grazing under solar panels at farms in NSW's Central West have produced better wool and more of it in the four years since the projects began, according to growers.

> Local graziers have labelled the set-up a "complete win-win", with the sheep helping to keep grass and weeds down so as not to obscure the panels.

This is not something that works so well with open cut coal and down wind from city supplying coal burning power stations.

I went from a technical role to presales/product marketing roles. I could've went into product management but I avoid "pinch point" roles (roles where you have to make multiple stakeholders happy, which means none of them will be.) I make a bit less than the ones who stayed as devs.

And yet my life is way easier. Most of my meetings are fun, involve expensed dinners, some light travel to interesting places (but not all the time.) I can work remotely and live wherever I want. My colleagues are not extremely overworked, most are laid back but effective.

Tech isn't what I grew up with and never will be again. The magic is gone. Most of the shit I would work on was boring and uninteresting. And frankly, I wasn't a 10x dev. I was never going to be that one who could dictate what I worked on. I wanted to have a life outside of code. It has been one of the best decisions I've made.
College students tend to live in apartments or housing focused on college students where few other people want to live because of noise problems. Other people living in other areas of a college town are critically important for the health of a town, or else basically everything cannot exist while the student population is away.

I have two rules for email: normal response time is “within 24hrs” and response rate is not 100%.

I’m sure some people out there just think I’m a flake because I don’t get back to them, or don’t respond quickly enough. That’s the downside.

The upside is that my life is not controlled by email notifications. Life is short.
But you're assuming all of the content is the same, except for one small change. It's not. Only the headlines are the same.

I get a feeling that this holds only for physical books and perhaps not as much for digital books. i.e. Owning more Kindle books doesn't necessarily give you the Dunning-Kruger compensating force (I'm guessing) because these aren't necessarily in your face frequently enough.

Personally, I have a mixed physical-digital library. My physical library is packed with books that I think will stand the test of time (roughly speaking) and which I have truly long to read and re-read. I use the digital library for things that I think are more in the "this will pass" category (also roughly speaking, as I only own a digital copy of some real gems like Ousterhout's "philosophy of software" book).

Curious about the distribution others use here.

How do you optimise B2B websites?
Hello,
I am working for one of my clients DX Heroes on their homepage. I do not have experience on B2B websites and I would love to get some feedback on what to improve to increase conversion. How would you approach it?

Let me know if you understood what the site is about and what it offers.
> which I don't think can be actually defended as a good practice

Allow me to try defending it:

Even storing your passwords in plaintext locally using an integrated password manager would:

1. discourage password reuse

2. usually encourage generated strong passwords/phrases (best password is one you don't know)

3. allow easy automated password auditing

4. prevent phishing-based credential capture via domain matching

Just point (1) above is a much greater threat than the likelihood of physical access (or rootkit/malware in which case key logging would invalidate keyed encryption either way)

> what happens when you turn on synchronization on these browsers? [...] Or do they just ship the "encrypted" passwords along with the key, so that your passwords are now essentially plaintext on their servers?

The typical approach is to ship the encrypted password without the key: provided it's a key known by the user, this makes it easy to download the encrypted credentials on any device and decrypt locally. If it's a generated key unknown to the user, there's a few different strategies to adding a second client - more complex but doable.
Very few of these rules make sense without more clarifying rules.

Never-mind the impossibility of Kings playing en-passant, there is also the concept introduced of "higher piece" without defining an order. Can a bishop upgrade to a knight? Can a knight upgrade to a Bishop? Can a rook upgrade to a bishop?

Despite the popular "valuing" of pieces, they aren't actually in the rules of chess and need to be stated.

> If a king is within its starting row, it can castle with both rooks.

What does it mean to castle with both rooks? Is that a typo for "either"?

Also it seems to suggest that you can move the king along the starting rank and still castle later. How would that work if your king was on b8 for example?

This is a strange kind of nonsense. It shows the difficulty of translating some home-brew rules into actual rules that others can follow.
Thank you! Can u explain further your point on learning a language from different angles? Or in general what is your strategy to remain relevant in tech?
They link to this, which has a table at the top:

I'd assume coal uses much more land in absolute terms, since it's what 50% of global electricity vs 3-5% for solar at the moment.
That "over 100%" is more significant than you think.

If you use windows primarily, there's a very big chance it's the ONLY operating system you use.

If you use MacOS or Linux, there are most likely windows machines sitting around too.

In my case, I have a windows laptop from work in addition to a macbook. I'd check both boxes, but I've only opened that windows machine a handful of times for esoteric windows issues.

If this idea held true just 50% of the time, then real use of windows would actually be somewhere around 25% and that's assuming a 100% overlap between the Linux and MacOS people (a bad assumption).

Another telling point is the tiny sliver of WSL responses. MS Server is so incredibly unpopular that even the majority of Azure instances have run on Linux for years now. Writing on Windows without WSL then deploying to Linux is a recipe for disaster.

A question where the reader has to infer a lot is a bad question. They should have asked about how much a particular OS is used.
On the surface that explanation might make sense, then we start diving into computer archeology and discovering what was being done outside Bell Labs with NEWP, JOVIAL, ALGOL variants, PL/I variants, BLISS, Mesa, Modula-2, PL.8, Lisp, Fortran,....

I agree it isn't a true "college town" but I think with the gentrification and the art college it feels more like a college town than say Carlisle that also has one main college. I think it also has a lot of the cultural diversity that you'd expect from a bigger college town. But in either case, it is great!
This is why I'm glad for EU laws; nowadays their objectives is to reduce e-waste. Electronic products now have a mandatory warranty of three years; I believe smartphones and such electronic devices need to have a lifetime of six.

But one-year warranties have been a thing everywhere for a long time I believe, so I hope you got your money back for both devices.

A good channel on youtube for these kinds of things is AvE, especially his older videos are good breakdowns and explanations of mostly electric tools where the creator points out things like molding, plastics, but also gears and probable failure modes - often a switch or as you mentioned, plastic gears or bad / missing bearings. The best device he had a teardown of was actually the Juicero, a massively over-engineered piece of hardware that was basically an inefficient press - as in, you get more juice just by hand-squeezing/rolling the overpriced Juicero bags.

Is that company still in business? If it does I'm sure some SF companies with too much money on their hands are still paying their subscriptions / deliveries.

Edit: it is not, they went out of business in 2017.
I mentioned that efficiency isn't a good measure. We need low losses at all operating point, and the "cruise" points in particular. The problem with measuring efficiency is that at zero speed (starting from a stop) or at zero torque (coasting) your output power is zero (torque times speed) and since there will be at least some input energy that means output/input = 0. Because of this, all motor efficiency maps show poor performance along both axis and a big region of "good" at higher power. There is a steep gradient of efficiency between those extremes and small changes in losses can really shift the "efficiency" a lot.

I like to plot Torque on the X axis and losses (in watts or kW) on the Y axis. Make a series of curves at different speeds (each curve is at a constant speed). These curves intersect the Y axis at zero torque, so friction can easily be seen on the Y axis. The curves have a parabolic shape (I^2 copper loss) forming a sort of butterfly. If the wings spread out at the tips (curves separate more at high torque) there may be magnetic issues. These maps are really nice, are easy to compare, and never mention efficiency at all ;-)
A wind turbine "uses" very little land. The area under the turbine can be used for many other things. That doesn't stop NIMBYs.

Consoles seem like a dumb idea to me. They were great when split screen was the main form of multiplayer. Now multiplayer has largely moved online. Finding local co-op / competitive games is kind of hard, and of the few that still come out, few of them are console specific. If you're colocated with your friends, playing together may not be possible unless you want to bring along another console and hook it up to another tv. The switch being an outlier on multiple points here. Laptops are fine enough to bring along though and laptops are capable of playing pretty much everything.

Paying for the ability to play online sucks.

Controllers are now largely PC compatible.

Lots of games are moving off physical media.

Prices tend to be better for PC games.

Media is transferable to a new PC.

Modding.

Updates are quicker.

People like to talk about how consoles are simpler but... I think that's stupid. People got caught up in dumb PC master race memes about hardware nerds getting the absolute best graphics performance possible and missed the fact that its not that hard to make a competent pc that will do just fine for a very long time for comparable prices to a console. And, it's a computer!

You could do that from pretty much any Windows language, Visual Basic wasn't special in that regard and my point was that since both were MS products and part of the same package they could have much better integration.
It fits in with the overall theme of adding unnecessary complexity:-?

Gresham's law is about (physical) currencies though - while it could arguably be somewhat extended to consumer products, the latter can typically be distinguished readily on more than just their superficial appearance. The fact that it's hard to accurately do so at point of purchase for most consumers is definitely part of the problem though.
Not a script as such, but I did put this together, building on what someone else did:

It's a 'cut and paste' starter for shell scripts that tries to be as robust as possible while not going crazy with the scaffolding. Useful for "I want to quickly cut a script and put it into our source but don't want it to look totally hacky" situations.

We didn't want those features in NA, either. It was a ton of really bad direction from the top. Execs weren't really sure why they were in the gaming business at all[1], so Matrick tried to branch the division out into other areas: a focus on OTA TV (no one under 40 who games watches OTA TV); bundling Kinect; leaping into the locked in digital-sales-only model way too early. It was really demoralizing for the Xbox team and definitely lost them the generation. They seem to have recovered for the Series generation.

> I trust them a lot more than Amazon or YouTube reviews or some random blog that got the product sent by its manufacturer.

Yeah same, those reviews are either bought, or made on a whim by people who aren't critical of what they buy - especially if the company or seller goad them into reviewing with giveaways or whatever. There will be good reviews, but they will be buried in the thousand+ mediocre ones.

I turn on my console and it plays games. I'm not messing around with maintaining yet another PC and all those headaches.
That was true pre this current generation of consoles. It was damned hard to get a PC comparable to a PS5 or Xbox SX for the past 2-3 years, because the hardware in those consoles is very capable and graphics cards were unobtainium at MSRP.

Even now, I think getting PC hardware for the same retail costs as the consoles would be tough.
Few years ago, I needed a quick way to create Qemu VM's locally for testing some weird software configurations. So I made a script to pull Ubuntu cloud images and clone them into qcow2 disks, then create and register libvirt virtual machines. Part of the "magic" was creating a cloud-config ISO image that would be mounted to pre-seed the VM on first launch. It also pushed my ssh key into the VM so I wouldn't need to use passwords. Janky, but worked well for what I needed.
