Hello! I am Alan, owner of Damn Interesting. We have never actually shut the site down, nor announced intention to do so. There was a long hiatus while I ended a bad marriage and reassembled my life. And on another occasion we announced that we were going to pump the brakes on our exhausting posting schedule to stave off burnout. But we never quit, and have no plans to do so.

I understand your skepticism regarding the premise of the article, but Facebook truly took over as the way people kept track of sites like ours. When Facebook introduced the "boosting" mechanism, and we didn't opt to pay them to regain access to our audience, our traffic tanked almost overnight. We were not the only content creators to notice this phenomenon[1].

Yay!! I can tell you it is SO nice to have repeatable patterns that are so easy to cut. You just lay out all your fabric flat, hit cut, and sit outside with a drink while everything cuts. A large pattern with thick fabric can take ten minutes, but you’re just watching as it happens.

I do sometimes have stuck stepper motors. That leads to messed up cuts and it’s one reason I want other people to reproduce the design and add their own tweaks. It generally works, but I would like to see the sticking of the Y axis improved.
I'm sure this isn't just iOS. I opened the link on Facebook for Android's browser and got a bunch of script injections...

Hot oil also kills birds, and at a lower temperature than Teflon.

So if you had been using oil with your pan the birds would have still died, and earlier than they did with the Teflon.

Extremely unlikely.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_impacts_of_climate_ch... says that the best available studies foresee global GDP dropping between 0% - 20% from climate change (compared to no climate change).

Given that this happens against a backdrop of normal, regular economic growth, people in the future will still be richer than people today.

And approximately everyone today who can afford aircon (and needs it) gets aircon, rather than turning nocturnal.
If you "know how to code" then why did you buy a laptop with an operating system that someone else wrote instead of building your own laptop and writing your own operating system for it so that you have more portability and control?
That's because birds are extremely sensitive to the air; it's how the phrase "canary in the coalmine", or just "canary", originated. The dosage required to kill a bird is a tiny fraction of that needed to cause a human to perceive anything.

That said, pyrolysis of fluorinated compounds does release very toxic substances, HF among one of them. On the other hand, the tradeoff is that below those temperatures at which they start degrading, they are extremely inert.
Sold out. Which is fine because it's a medium duty piece of generic router. Their hardware comparison (typical user need $350 for a router and PiHole hardware) is hardly a fair comparison based on the specs of their hardware. That sours me.

To cause Teflon to degrade you have to heat the pan to over 500F / 260C.

No one cooks at those temperatures, even ovens don't go so high. You basically have to forget the pan on a high flame for a long time.

And the toxic chemicals you get from overheating oil are far worse, somehow everyone forgets about those.
See my response above, however, to your edit remark: a full year later I tested 115 (15 is a positive for IgG test). I referenced studies for both SARS-CoV-1 in 2003 and COVID-19 where antibodies are detected much further out than your 3-6 months. They are still testing positive for antibodies to SARS-CoV-1 (2003), 19 years later.

To your "lucky" point, I can't qualify that. If I have an asymptomatic case, that tells me my natural immunity must be pretty good, given my multi-vaccinated colleagues, at least three of them, have lost work due to second and third infections. They had the vaccination before getting COVID, so I wonder if they have weak immune systems, or the vaccine somehow is not as good as natural immunity. The CDC finally admitted natural immunity was as good or better after a year of ignoring natural immunity, and after they pushed it on healthy children, and Pfizer makes tens of billions of dollars with every booster or new series of vaccines.

I truly believe in the next 5 years it will become more clear that the majority of people who suffered from COVID that were under 55 years old was because of obesity, diabetes, and hypertension, or other immune-compromised patients. The numbers are already in the CDC datasets and other datasets from around the world showing this trend. Everyone has a horror story of a young, healthy person who died, however it is the thin tail of the distribution, and not the norm, and it is a very statistically insignificant number to push a one-size fits all mandate to vaccinate.
Having rust is fine though, it's just oxidized iron. Sure it won't look pretty but it's largely harmless in food.

The main caveat I've seen is when making acidic foods with iron cookware (cast iron or carbon steel) it may affect the taste ever so slightly as some of the acid is reacted and takes off the top layer so you end up with a "stain" that looks like the food. Still just cosmetic only though.
> Whoa, backwards training actually made your reaction time faster by 0.28 seconds!

Interesting result. I think I may have subconsciously primed myself for a better performance as the prompt told me that it was about to go back to "normal".

I suspect I'd be a lot worse if it switched me without warning.
For some reason I conflated the fact there were more than 9 justices in the past with that being court-packing. Clearly, I misremember my social studies.
I mean, they say they're a libertarian (and other libertarians are fake libertarians, which is possibly the most libertarian thing to say) and expressed agreement with the culture war issues like the "death of men" so the comfort zone sounded more like being around a crowd like that. There are loads of different PTSD support groups (veterans, service industry workers, family trauma, just flat out for men) to the extent you almost need to willfully choose to seek out a domestic/SA group where they aren't comfortable with men.

Otherwise it read like a pretty run of the mill review of the politicans' public personalities plus some "centrist" appeals to the golden mean fallacy which are generally used as a pry bar to keep stretching the overton window to the right. Should we engage libertarian age of consent abolitionists for the good of open discourse and reach for 'not a black-or-white' answer there?
That is strange now that you mention it, I have a split keyboard and it really should be staggered the other way on the left side but isn't. Also, I think the top row stagger is a bit too large but the bottom row stagger is way too much. I haven't tried the linear but my impression is that a slight stagger in the correct direction for each hand would be best, although linear seems likely to be close enough in about the same way that the top row stagger is close enough on the right hand.

One thing I like about my keyboard is that home, page up, page down, and end are on the left so that it is symmetrical. It also has a tenting feature that I like, having the keys tilted at an angle is perfect for me. Both of these also allow the mouse to be a bit closer. I also like that the space bars aren't as large, although I wish they were still a bit smaller.

I want to remap that useless print screen button near the arrows to a delete key, which I found from a previous keyboard is really handy to have near the arrow keys.
Even 'cold blooded' creatures warm up when they move around a lot, or when they bask in the sun.
It is, actually. Well, "class" and "super" were never legal even before they became keywords, because the language was designed to evolve and those were obvious things which might be useful later. But "await" still works as a variable name outside of an async function, even today, precisely so that old code still works as it used to. There are some contortions in the specification (and implementations) required to make this work, but it does work. (I am one of the current editors of the JS specification.)
That was my paraphrase. From fuzzy memory, don't think it was Alan Kay, but I'm sure the approach is common with that crowd.

The only other clue I have is that it was apparently someone who was super productive and wrote a ton of the early common Unix tools.
People are going to reply to you with the usual "we are better than them", "we are a democracy" etc., but reciprocity clauses are very common in areas like international trade, travel, disarmament treaties, emissions control and lots more. In fact China would never have been allowed into the WTO (which happened in 2001) had they not made sweeping changes to their economy and assured the world that they would compete on a fair playing field, rules that they still (mostly) have to follow today. Requiring that American software companies have the same opportunities in China as Chinese ones enjoy in the USA is a perfectly sane position to take. In fact it is the fair and democratic one.

Of course politicians don't really understand tech enough to realize how quickly (and how unfairly) China is growing to dominate the space.

> Same with housing, why can Chinese nationals buy housing here, while I can't do so there?

Housing is a completely different conversation, and the answer there is that existing homeowners would never allow the influx of foreign cash into their local markets to stop, and they are the ones with all the influence in this country, not the renters or aspiring buyers.
I wish they felt that way about space to move around.

It can make phone calls.

It took a separate $31,000 kickstarter and 4 years of a multi-vendor cooperation to create and upstream then non-existent accelerated stateless video decoding API for Linux. Pine64 would have never released anything if they waited on Linux API standardization process (have multiple users of the API in kernel, etc.). And even after 2 years of availability, the only major user of the API is gstreamer, and it's still bubbling through the stack so that you can just open Firefox and play an accelerated video.

Pushing through this process even nicher accelerated encoding feature, usable pretty much only for the cameras (which are quite crappy on the OG pinephone, so motivation is already low, there), is just not going to happen for giving someone a 7 year old outdated phone worth $150 only to some enthusiasts and $0 to pretty much everyone else, lol. That's just ridiculous.
It looks really nice; the font is a great choice. However, I've got more keyboards than I really need that are very similar to the featured one, so I'm not interested. HN reader cantSpellSober makes a number of good suggestions, and I'll add one more. I would like more keyboards that let the thumbs do more work.

The spacebars on Apple laptops are shorter, on my current Apple laptop the left end of the spacebar starts between the X and C key and extends to the boundary on the right between the M and the < key. This is much shorter than the keyboard in the featured article. This allows me the use the option and the command keys on each side of the keyboard with my thumbs. Its a bit awkward, but much better than almost all full sized keyboards with really long spacebars.

The Moonlander, Kinesis Advantage, Keyboard.io, and the Truly Ergonomic Cleave keyboard all give the thumbs a few easy to use keys. These can generally be bound to Ctrl, Alt, Backspace, ESC or other keys commonly used when doing programming. I've got a number of these keyboards and I much prefer them. Just having a split spacebar would allow Vim or Emacs users a convenient leader key.

One other point, I place very little value on media keys and analog value controls. I'm mostly typing while coding, adjusting volume isn't something I do except when playing games or creating media assets and even then it comes up very rarely.

Teflon in isolation may be fine, but your average cookware still contains enough PFOA left over from the synthesis process to cause harm. The replacement to PFOA (GenX?) has also been found in modern Teflon cookware as well.

Also, Teflon out-gasses at temperatures well below your average stovetop flame. Toxic enough that you can't use Teflon cookware if you own birds. It'll kill them.
> You may wonder why I didn't just write a routine to plot filled triangles, and then draw quadrilaterals as two adjacent triangles. The answer is that with the libraries that support exclusive-OR plotting this results in a visible line between the two triangles, because that line is drawn twice; having a dedicated routine to plot quadrilaterals avoids this. In addition, this routine is faster.

I guess the Sega Saturn was on to something, then.

Lots of "I" statements. I write the same way but don't really care for it. Reads as a little self-absorbed. My favorite journalism has the writer disappearing from sight, maybe peeking around a corner once in a while to remind readers that they exist.

I wonder how the piece would read with all sentences starting with "I" removed.
I wanted to ask the HN community if anyone has tried this kind of handheld pc as a smartphone replacement. It doesn't have to have a sim card slot, my idea was to use a feature-phone with personal hotspot functionality in conjunction with a micro PC.

my 2 fears:

* despite feature phones normally having very long battery time, this is probably not the case when using personal hotspot - this problem could be eliminated by getting a micro PC with sim card slot, but those are much less common and I would not have as much choice.

* these handheld PCs are really small, but not really as pocket sized as a smartphone (well, modern smartphones have become pretty big! But still, there seems to be a size difference) Regarding size: I would like to have a keyboard but I could also live with something more similar to a Steam Deck, if that means having a smaller device that I can keep in my pocket.

So, has anyone tried this?
I googled, and I could not find any ovens with Teflon in them.

On top of that you have to heat the Teflon over 500F / 260C, and ovens temperatures don't go so high (except in self cleaning but a non-stick oven would not have self cleaning).

I suspect something else happened to your birds - probably simple smoke from food residue, which kills birds much easier than overheated Teflon does.
I think this is a click-bait headline for what is essentially a commentary piece on recent politics.

The rally actually had very little to do with the article other than some framing.

I think he did a reasonable job raising his issues without hyperbole. In essence, we just need more conversations and attitudes like this out in the social media jungles so we can move forward. It's a sad indictment that someone like this (reasoned and honest opinions) is losing friends still.

I portion a decent part of the blame on the media (inc. social media); they do nothing whatsoever to encourage honest and earnest discourse yet have massive influence over the attitudes of their viewers. They let politicians get away with posturing and dodging and go more for opinions and editorials than searching for data and 'truth.' Social media platforms are focusing all their resources on blocking content rather than behaviour, completely the wrong way around.
A judge can't sentence that, and it's generally considered to violate the 8th amendment. So also not in PA.
Yes, the media industry is certainly more to blame here. Although, the current ISP oligopoly means that there are less companies to sue or otherwise bully. And it doesn't help that some major ISPs are owned by companies that also produce copyrighted content they want to protect.
The allure of small PCs has been very, very strong for me these days. I think the problem is that we used to have this as a market by default, but size keeps creeping up. There used to be a 11.6" MacBook Air, which was a lovely little machine. The difference between 11.6" and 13" is astounding when you're looking at things like carrying it around or sitting on the couch. Smaller devices are even more portable just enabling.

It's an itch that's almost scratched by tablets, but not quite. I have an iPad Mini, but the prospect of using it as an ultra-portable is dashed by the fact that keyboard cases and the like are just not great experiences. iPadOS isn't as strong as a normal desktop OS, particularly when it comes to something like SSH.

The only thing that's stopping me from grabbing a GPD Micro is the fact that multiple people here have expressed doubts about the hinge's longevity. There's also a pretty prominent Amazon review where a user said that the hinge snapped after just 10 open/close cycles per day. Ouch.

Are there any other prominent small form factor laptops like this?
It's only weird if you think of light as just being particles. Once you realize it's a wave too, then the math all works out just fine.

but your average cookware still contains enough PFOA left over from the synthesis process to cause harm.

Citation needed.

The fumes are quite toxic. Toxic enough that you can't use Teflon cookware if you own birds.

The dose makes the poison.
Maybe something closer to a real-world design would be better, like "space-optimized 6502 processors per millimeter^2" or "kilobytes of SRAM per millimeter^2".

Ideally you'd have some sort of metric that includes power efficiency, performance, and maybe even cost since smallness isn't really a feature in itself unless you're making something space-constrained like a hearing aid. It's hard to condense that down into a single number though.
The sad fact of the matter is that you are wrong. People do not want that. No matter what their words say, their actions is what bring in the revenue

Flying is expensive enough that it's already not something that everyone does routinely. And once we get electric planes, then Earth will be able to afford that.

That wasn't incorrect. I'd rather put up with some jet lag than for all of my travel to take several times as long.

Distributing software for you to run on your own hardware is speech, though, and it's protected by the first amendment. You can license the distribution of your own software if you want, but you can't tell me I can't give you software if you want it.

Basically: how do you think this would work, in a way that wouldn't also make Linux or gcc or whatever available only at the whim of the government?
> $120k for a cyclotron is a lot of money, but the fact that a couple of teenagers can even dream of building one is cool.

As the article said, this is the price for a build using brand-new parts. The prices of used lab instruments are significantly lower than their list prices, a 10x or even 100x reduction is not unheard of. So, at least its electronic instrumentation is going to be cheaper. Though, I know nothing about the mechanical, vacuum, or magnetic part.
> but your average cookware still contains enough PFOA left over from the synthesis process to cause harm

That isn't true.

"Studies show that this coating contains a negligible amount of PFAS capable of migrating to food." https://www.fda.gov/food/chemical-contaminants-food/question...

> Toxic enough that you can't use Teflon cookware if you own birds. It'll kill them.

This also isn't true. You can't heat your cookware above 500F / 260C, that's it. Which obviously no one does since everything would be burned black.

Oil is much more dangerous to birds than Teflon, since it will kill them at temperatures actually reached during cooking.

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023
There was some chatter on Twitter about this but it looks like part of the National Defense Authorization Act requires no known CVEs in any item within the SBOM:

(1) A certification that each item listed on the submitted bill of materials is free from all known vulnerabilities or defects affecting the security of the end product or service identified in--
(A) the National Institute of Standards and Technology National Vulnerability Database; and
(B) any database designated by the Under Secretary, in coordination with the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, that tracks security vulnerabilities and defects in open source or third-party developed software.
