Thick white material is the toughest. Like thick white denim or canvas requires a very slow cutting speed. Polyester seems to emit some kind of harmful gasses. I always ventilate the room, wear an n95 mask, run a HEPA filter nearby, and sit outside during and shortly after cutting pretty much anything, but especially polyester. I can't really think of what would not be cut by the laser, but I don't know anything about what fumes may be more or less harmful.
I had a form like that. You put in your email and it sends an email from us@foo.com, to us@foo.com, and to them@whatever.com. We had internal mailing lists for clients, including something like all-clients@foo.com, but they were locked down so only certain people could send to them. Turns out us@foo.com was one of those people, and so someone would spam all of our clients by putting their return address as all-clients@us.com. We just took the form down and posted our email address.
I was going to say this seems best as a packaged solution + consulting/setup fee. I could see this working in fast-food assembly stations as well, but may have more variance with human element.

Also could add on an analysis component of "study my flow and quantify potential jam points".
Good analysis. If the Gov was bringing in ~$85M/year, that seems like a solid amount of operating budget to support it technically/operationally.
Re-rendering JSX subtrees is the main performance bottleneck in the majority of React apps. I should add that our decision includes the decision to start adding React.memo() to all components; otherwise, yeah, the benefits in most cases would be pretty small. But with React.memo(), useMemo/useCallback makes our components dramatically less likely to re-render, which again is the single biggest thing you can do for performance in most React apps. The difference is usually not perceptible on high-end dev machines, but a significant portion of our target market uses lower-end mobile devices to visit our site, so being performant-by-default is valuable to us.
I’m from a Muslim country, and I think they do want democracy. What they don’t want is liberal democracy like in the west.

Shadi Hamid has been instrumental in helping me understand the distinction between the two things. Here’s a good example: https://mobile.twitter.com/shadihamid/status/144363599537580.... More generally: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/08/shadi-hamid-on-i...

What (most) Muslims want is something like what America was like in the early days. Puritan society was extremely democratic, insofar as the people did make the rules for society. But it was not liberal democracy—the puritans created public schools for the purpose of socializing children into religion. They also made it a criminal offense to celebrate Christmas: https://www.history.com/news/when-massachusetts-banned-chris...
I actually pulled that example from watching my sibling learn the piano in the 90's using that exact method. The teacher used stickers on the keys to speed up the initial muscle memory building (it also kept younger kids from getting discouraged so easily due to difficulty). After a few simple tunes and when they knew where "G" was without the stickers and without counting from middle "C", the stickers came off and the ear training began to play what they hear.
I agree with your first sentence, but TDD and unit tests are completely diametrical concerns.

Unit tests serve multiple purposes. Number 1 is to have a way for you to play around with your design. Then it also can document requirements. I then lastly serves as a vehicle for you to prove something about your design, typically the fulfillment of a requirement, or the handling of some edge case, etc. This last part is what people unfortunately mostly refer to as a test.

TDD says that you should write your tests before you even have a design, one-by-one typically, adding in more functionality and design as you go. You will end up with crap code. If you do not throw the first iteration away then you will commit crappy code.

Most people naturally find that an iterative cycle of design and test code works the best and trying to sell TDD to them is a harmful activity, because it yields no benefits and might actually be a big step backwards.
From the bash man page:

All of the single-character shell options documented in the description of the set builtin command, including -o, can be used as options when the shell is invoked.

So set RemoteCommand to something like /bin/bash -o vi
I once wrote an email to Steve Jobs, saying that operating systems like MacOS and iOS should have a secret phrase or icon that they show to you whenever they show a system-level security dialog. (And of course implement the same restrictions on screenshots of that dialog as they do for movies.)
Because otherwise, an app can totally fake the interface of a security dialog. The only way you know, these days, is that password managers and cookie jars work with the "approved" sites, but they can simply show you a site that doesn't require those, and then fool you into entering your passwords!
Steve never replied to me. And Apple never implemented it.
The tax was paid on the money that paid for the asset by the person who paid for it and then passed it on.

Can you link to an implementation you would consider great?

I would just like to compare them. I too find Uncle Bobs “clean code” book very much overrated.

My understanding of the “design” aspect of TDD is, that you start from client code and create the code that conforms to your tests. Too often I worked in a team with other developers and I wanted to use what they wrote, and they somehow coded what was part of the spec, but it was unusable from my code. Only because I was able to change their code (most often the public API) I was able to use it.
Following your reasoning we should all do efforts to translate all the documentation of all the software available in many languages, a major amount of work, instead of asking developers to learn English. And learning English is a major undertake compared to read comments without spacing.
Yes that's it!!!! Holy cow that takes me back.
Some more patterns and fabric/material sources to consider (no affiliation). Personally I got as far as making a bug headnet and stuff sacks before deciding I’m not cut out for this, but YMMV.

> ... many places ...

Yet I'd assume _most_ places in the global west still have fluctuating irradiation and wind to a degree that makes weeks worth of storage necessary.

> Do you think utilities store months of fuel, nowadays?

The utilities probably only to a certain degree. But it doesn't really matter who stores the fuel, right?

> The United States has the world's largest reported strategic petroleum reserve, with a total capacity of 727 million barrels. If completely filled, the U.S. SPR could theoretically replace about 60 days of oil imports. [1]

These reserves are of course not used to supply power plants.

But I'd bet as soon as the renewable slice of electricity generation exceeds some 50-60 % of total supply, the authorities will not have days but weeks or maybe months worth of natural gas or hydrogen or ammonia stored to supply the grid (with according power plants) over extended periods of low renewable generation.

Just thinking about how essential the electric grid is for society to work, convinces me that it won't be days worth but significantly more.

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_strategic_petroleum_r...

As to deliveries from around the world.
Any country will of course make a trade off between the political goal of independence or self sufficiency and economic considerations.
Countries that have sufficient renewable electricity generation potential to be independent from external supplies will rather try to avoid external dependency, don't you think?

Which would require storage.

Also, imagine what happens as combustion engine cars get replaced more and more by EVs. The strategic petroleum reserves probably become less important and grid stability becomes more important. And I don't think the EV batteries are going to provide enough buffer to enable a stable grid all year round.
Awesome! Is there anything stopping using this for wood too? Any problems with vibrations messing with the cuts (like from walking around it)?

It might be other way round - if there are no independent, judicial, law making and executive branches and all the blah from the start, democracy has much lower chance of success. There will always be attempts to take hold of it and if the start is wrong, chance that someone will succeed is much higher.

Mr. Marx is kind of in the position of Nokia just before the first IPhone hit. Everything looked rosy for the status quo and Nokia was sure they understood their future for at least ten or fifteen years and probably more.

In a similar vein Mr. Marx is sure that technology won't change anything because cars will stay more or less the same because the tech/auto/lobbyists will make sure it does.

Unfortunately for Mr. Marx the signs of transportation change are all around for those who can read the implications of technology.

Personal motorized transportation can be split into short range, less than 15 miles, and long range trips. Electrification will revolutionize the short range types. ie city cores.

The electrification of vehicles will be different because electric motors scale way better than IC engines. You see them all over, stand up scooters, ebikes, tiny electric cars, and all the way up to huge semi's and beyond. Current IC vehicles have to be big(ish) because their motors don't scale well below about 100hp. Electrics don't have that limitation (not to mention they will be much cheaper)

Another important technical aspect is that electrics in the city will result in the air quality getting much better because electrics don't emit the noxious poisonous gases the IC engines do. The implications are massive and pervasive. Once this becomes apparent IC cars will be banned pretty quickly from city centers.

In the near future then most people will have short range and long range vehicles. The larger long range vehicles will be encouraged not to be in the city centers and this will physically open up more space downtown.

This transition won't be as fast as the iPhone but it is inevitable. The technology is just much much better all around.

There is no one answer in the linux world. It's distro dependent, with different distros choosing different policies which you can choose from to match what you're looking for.

For example, Fedora will upgrade package versions and defaults often, because they release often. RHEL, which is made from a frozen Fedora version (for the most part), won't even upgrade versions of installed packages, but will instead back-port fixed into the old versions, so you are ultimately as stable as can be expected from running an OS, as without new versions and new features in packages there's little to worry about with regard to changing behavior.

Usually, that means you're responsible for knowing what to set for package defaults, and while they might change the default for a package such as OpenSSH at a point release (or in critical situations as a normal update), the way their config management works is that your existing systems will likely not see any change, but a new install might (there are different actions in different situations, but it's documented).

The main exception to the above is point releases, which are every six months or so, where they may take a subset of packages and allow newer versions of those to allow for new features, but with copious amounts of testing to hopefully catch any problems that might introduce. In some cases they may deem it safer to back-port a feature than to change the shipped package to a newer version (this is common for some kernel features, for example).

What this means in practice though is that you can choose to do regular security and bugfix updates automatically but stage and test point release updates, and do one or two systems to test whether it introduces problems.

Those are the benefits of an enterprise distributions, such as RHEL (and free derivatives such as CentOS and Rocky Linux) and Ubuntu LTS releases. The downside, if you can consider it that, is that they are so stable that five years later you'll find you're still running that same distro and your problem is that that majority of the software stack you're running is very old, and the annoyances from that continue to mount, and harder to migrate to something newer because there's been so much change in all the software that you can't assume that the configs will work cleanly.

So, the current situation if you get scammed via Venmo/PayPal or other electronic payment methods is for the FBI / local law enforcement to subpoena the provider for records about the incident.

Now, imagine all that data is sitting on Federal servers by default. No subpoena required, and fraud systems would be integrated directly with investigative services at the Federal level. This integration should strike fear in the heart of anyone who currently scams via 3rd-party payment providers.

I am bothered that fraud isn't directly addressed in this page, but it's only an FAQ and it'd be silly to think the Fed wouldn't build industry standard (or better) fraud protections into a system they're building from scratch.

the gist of the quote is lost in translation i guess. it's trying to convey that you should assert your knowledge, otherwise, you will get lectured by people with no idea what they are talking about. idiocracy, populism, praise of stupidity etc.
But he passes the cost of those taxes on to the renter because the renter is the one benefiting from the schools/roads/police/fire/etc that the taxes fund.
Then you need to keep the test and signature in lock step. Your method signature is likely to change as the code evolves. I'm not arguing against tests but requiring them too early generates a lot of extra work.

I got into leatherwork as a covid hobby. All hand tools, most of which are cheap. I store everything except the material and a ruler in a single organizer box.

To get rid of the stuff I make, I just give it to other people. Usually it helps if they're things people actually ask for, like custom purses, bags, and cute dinosaur figures. I only produce a few items a year so no one's getting overwhelmed with stuff. As for waste, you just minimize it and learn how to fix, undo, or hide your mistakes.

Both approaches have virtues. HLS is simpler for software programmers, but tends to rely more on 'magic' and is not a very clean abstraction of the hardware that's generated.

That said, loops aside, most compiler IR is a sort of dataflow graph which could reasonably be synthesized into hardware. But most control flow does not map very well.

Higher-level HDLs such as Chisel (although I have never used it) instead abstract directly over standard HDLs like Verilog or VHDL. These abstractions are simpler because they do not alter the fundamental design ideas; they just offer increased flexibility (for example VexRiscv, which is written in SpinalHDL and has most functionality in 'plugins' which extend CPU components, which is a very powerful form of metaprogramming that is not possible with Verilog).

If your issue is with Scala, there's other HHDLs such as Clash (based on Haskell) or Migen and Amaranth which use Python.

I think "philosophy" can be substituted with any idea that serves as viable coping mechanism to stress. Any idea that impacts your life in such a powerful way transcends into the realm of spirituality.
Interesting. The method signature is usually the last thing I create.

We had things like expandable container groups for UI controls that could auto-resize the child controls as necessary to fit their content back in the 90s.

Granted, it wasn't as easy to set up properly vs modern web layout engines - but there is so much more to RAD applications than the UI layout by itself.

There are even more libraries than that too. Like the OSU one that makes even different trade offs.
This is great! Potentially the missing piece in the world of "serverless": a serverless SQL database accessible over HTTP with no minimum price. I saw AWS Aurora has a Data API but currently that does have a minimum monthly cost. Fauna is possibly the closest, but that appears to involve translating SQL to its FQL. How stable is the beta?
I would encourage you to try to read those words without any of the baggage often implied. The reason I chose the examples, "dorm room" and "magical year in NYC," above is that those both apply directly to me. If someone in my neighborhood in NYC would have said to me, "you don't really care deeply about this place, you're just going to be here for a year or two and then settle down somewhere else," they wouldn't have been entirely wrong.
Awesome manuscript, thanks for sharing!
Apparently they want to see you hold a balance, but not too much, to get in the good graces of the credit agencies.

This very much depends on the country. In some places there are debit card networks which are neither MasterCard nor Visa nor Maestro. In such situations your bank's debit card may actually be useless for online payments. Even if the cards are Maestro and an online retailer happens to accept Maestro (somewhat rare in my experience), that may not help you since banks will often blanket deny any card-not-present transactions.
The type problem is starting to be solved by flakes; the equivalent to the type `operating-system` is the type `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`.

To analyze a NixOS system configuration, I look for all modifications to the `services` attr (representing all the services of the system, e.g. `services.mpd.dir = "~/Music"`). If I want to know even more I can look for all the `.enable` keys to see if any hardware/program/etc options have been enabled, and the sources are easy to read so I can open the corresponding module file in Nixpkgs if I want to know what a particular option does. The default NixOS machine does literally nothing so I don't have to worry about that.

Guix does look really cool, and I would try it if it had more support for nonfree software (I depend on some nonfree software in my day-to-day.)

Is this meant as disagreement with my comment?

To disagree with my comment, you'd have to argue that there is no alternative to getting hit with a big pile of money in order to deal with the problem of a bad job. Without even giving it much thought, I can list a few: change careers; get a better job; marry someone with a decent job, which will expand your employment options; start your own company; live a more frugal life and work fewer hours.

The important thing to take away from the advice is that everything I've listed is a realistic solution but getting the big pile of money isn't.

Yes, increasing costs of necessities is regressive. Charging everyone the same fee costs poor people a larger percentage of their income.
