The Light Mode toggle pretty much fixed it for me. Dark Mode on this was harsh and difficult to scan/read
The other difference now is that we're pretty close to wiping out crucial ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest and show no signs of taking climate change as seriously as we should.
There is nothing wrong with it as long as people are prepared for the effects: higher taxes combined with reduced social benefits (as fewer workers support more retired). A stagnant or declining standard of living. A house that goes down in value not up over time. More challenging education for children as schools are closed and consolidated.
What is shocking about the f/2.5 f-stop? That’s a pretty fast lens, especially for something diy.
I made several attempts at acetone vapor smoothing on mirrors printed in ABS and ASA and the surfaces always came out very well polished at the micrometer scale but unacceptably warped, wrinkled, or patterned at the millimeter scale. The best finish I've gotten on a 3D-printed mirror was from sanding and polishing with a cotton ball soaked in cerium oxide slurry while the mirror blank spins on a pottery wheel.

Chemically depositing silver with the old-fashioned immersion setup is also very tricky as the reaction is quite temperamental. I recommend the two-part spray process if you want to try silvering a telescope mirror.
Owning a 3D printer without knowing basic CAD seems pointless beyond description.
I quit FB in 2015 and has been working remotely since then. It's good at first until I realized I'm a complete lone wolf. You have to find new social circle and activities before it's too late. Good part is still good, you just have to prevent some disadvantages.

FTTH network uses PON to reduce expensive 1:1 wiring for each home (but YMMV). Simple fiber switch can't be used for PON.
The number one C behind all of those Cs? Copyright. Replace all instances of "content creator" with copyright monopolist.
I think the appropriate umbrella term for Neil Gaiman specifically would just be "writer" or "author" considering that makes up the bulk of his work.

Calling him a "content creator" would communicate none of those things, he could be sculptor, juggler and flautist for all I know.

(As an aside - the distinction between "graphic novels" and "comic books" is another pet peeve of mine - if a term can be summed up as "like this other thing, but but for grown ups", then maybe the "other thing" should just be respected by everybody instead of trying to reverse no true Scotsman the perceived good bits into another category)
I don't own a car anymore, but it's something I online window shop sometimes. It seems like Lexus is going to be the last luxury car brand to keep physical controls instead of all screen.
The US is a lot more than just California and Texas.

Where I live isn't anywhere close to being fully renewable. And home solar is much less economical than it is in California or Texas, largely due to having less sunlight.
Courts don't appreciate having their time wasted. It's going to be a lot easier for a court to dismiss a frivolous patent troll than to "assume guilt" and go through the absolutely hellish process of extended litigation.

sudo apt install openssh-server

Use ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id from client to put your public key on the server to avoid having to type a password all the time. Disable passwords in /etc/ssh/sshd_config for convenient security.

Look into forwarding X Windows or perhaps easier VNC if a GUI is needed/desired.

Mobile data is very inconsistent when in rural areas. The best speed I got in an urban areas was around 800Mbit/s but I have seen speeds in some rural areas closer to 1Mbit/s to 3Mbit/s. That is in the UK, not a 3rd world country.

Doubling frame rate won't add bitrate like double, thanks to frame difference compression algorithm. Video call won't use much too. I'd say VR could be the next application that needs more bandwidth.
There was a twitter thread recently about how Mac people never built their own computers so don’t know what things can be like. But I have built my own computers and I hated dealing with issues like this. There’s a reason I don’t build my own computers anymore.
>Men today produce fewer sperm than in the past, and the sperm are less healthy. The question, then, is what could be causing this decline in fertility[0].

This has everything to do with monogamous relationships and marriages in most of the developed human world.

In the natural world, there are many factors at play that help ensure only the "healthiest" males conceive with females. Most factors are indirect, such as males physically fighting each other for a mate wherein the "fittest" male would more likely come out superior and successfully mate.

One direct factor that has been practically eradicated from humanity, however, is direct competition between sperm. Some animals and many plants are polygamous, wherein a female receives sperm (or other forms of genetic material as applicable) from multiple males. The sperm have to compete with each other to reach the egg first and conceive, this encourages males with the "healthiest" sperm to pass their genetic material onto the next generation.

Monogamous relationships and marriages as seen in humans remove this factor completely, the "fitness" of a given male human's sperm is irrelevant to conception because competition between sperm has ceased to exist. Both unfit and fit sperm alike can conceive, assuming other indirect factors at play allow for it. Indirect factors that care not for the "fitness" of sperm.
Yes, and immigration almost always brings tension because of cultural clash.

I think a lot of people in developed countries voluntarily or involuntarily adopt a psychological willingness to not have kids and let their culture collapse because the emotional distress of a life in a post-growth world. A world where your freedoms, privacy, and economic opportunities are shrinking, to extract temporary value and stability for the upper class, out of you and your labour/compliance. The only worldly way out of it is to basically step on the others while going up to implement these changes, which feels horrible to a naturally empathic creature like man. It's a cursed state of being.

> I got older, and now automatic transmissions are so much more efficient than manual transmissions * for ordinary people *.

It’s not just ordinary people. The opposite, if anything. F1 and rally cars haven’t been manual for decades. I don’t think any modern super is manual.

Though with the ev-ification the point is moot as save for a few rare exceptions they’re single-gear.

I think you are! It's less work to keep it simple, than to make it heavy then try to pare it back.
The one thing I can't find is a description of the actual glass optics used. How many elements? What are their individual specs? Etc.

I don't think they will find drop in replacements for all the parts, or even replacements in general that meet the same quality standards for some of the parts. This issue will likely require a drastic redesign of a large number of parts and will halt production for a while.

> Russia is holding on and shows no signs of cracking.

I don't understand how people can think this when Russia is heavily recruiting from prisons and rolling out ancient T-62s, Russias modern weaponry continually gets depleted whilst Ukraine gets more modern weaponry every month. I think the first main cracking point will be the Russian retreat / Ukrainian recapture of Kherson in the coming months.

CardDAV on Fastmail. Migrated Microsoft and Google accounts to it several years back and cleaned them up in an afternoon.
Two phrases I've heard are "source available" and "open box". Both say recipients can see the source code, though they don't guarantee that the recipient can make modifications. Those are the closest I can think of, and both seem accurate.
is your friend named SWIM? I concur though, i've personally helped a number of people experience psychedelics for the first time, though it definitely helps to have some benzos on hand for the outliers who are just incompatible with psychedelics.

Some people, for whatever reason, are just unable to separate themselves from the experience or accept what is happening without extreme stress. It's almost like classic psychedelics act more like disassociatives for them.
Wow, I completely missed that one! [1]

i think it's the result of monopolies: facebook, reddit, twitter, instagram, youtube, etc are too big. If they weren't this big they would really care about users. If they ban few popular users every months, users aren't gonna stop coming others will take their place in few weeks soon enough, no consequences.
Jealousy happens because of our lizard brains. I get “jealous” of my wife sometimes because she doesn’t work and I have to work. She gets to enjoy her hobbies and volunteer work.

Now, intellectually, I know this is stupid. I had to convince her to quit working post Covid. We don’t need the money. I like my job and I couldn’t just have her travel with me when I go out of town for business if she were still working. We definitely couldn’t embark on the digital nomad thing we are doing later this year.

She would go back to work tomorrow if we needed it.
In Ukraine it went down to $60. Looks like we're richer than you at this moment :-D
> Has it occurred to people that, maybe, modern fertility is a tragedy of the commons? If everyone chooses to act in their own interest, society is worse off than collectively pressuring to have more kids?

Of course. Malthusianism, eugenics.
This feels like a non-issue. The boomer generation is probably one of the wealthiest generations in history. And the younger generations have for the most part been fairly underemployed. Feels like there is more than enough slack in the labor markets to handle the extra work, and taxes could be targeted towards the wealth assets of the boomers (stocks, real estate, etc...).
Hmm. Perceiving a pressure difference from 6 floors of elevation does not seem legit. Do you have some condition that would exacerbate this?
The groups writing client software are at least writing open source software, generally under liberal or GPL licensing. So there's that. They aren't selling the software, although they do tend to establish commercial relationships with some entities. Many of those groups work in companies that do something more commercial with other blockchains than Ethereum, though.

Some of the funding for the various implementations comes from Ethereum Foundation (EF) itself. It's not just Geth which is supported by EF funds, but Geth has a special place because of its history.

The Ethereum Foundation takes the view that "client diversity" of proof-of-stake validator implementations is a security requirement: https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/cl...

Shipping an endorsed EF implementation would undermine that requirement.

So instead, they publish and regularly update a spec, the major clients are all open source, to some extent the EF has sponsored the development of multiple clients, there is continuous interop testing between all the major clients going on, and the client teams meet at weekly EF meetings.

The next such meeting is today (the All Core Devs meeting), and it's conducted in public, you can listen in real time or afterwards on Youtube. You wouldn't see that if they were ordinary commercial companies.

Ideally they would like to see client diversity in the execution layer as well (Geth et al), and consider single-client (Geth) dominance to be a weak part of the system.

(I am writing an execution layer client that isn't in the list at the moment. Stealth mode, if you like. It's feature is extremely compact storage using a novel database structure, fast storage and network sync, and zk-EVM proofs will probably be coming. The organisation writing it (me) certainly isn't profit seeking with regard to this project (nor paid for that matter; it's a personal side project). Being able to fork and build on other groups' work, as well as test against them, is very useful!)
I'm using my high point's account for this: in 2016, 2 years after my Stage IV Colon Cancer dx and continuing treatment I (Silicon Valley fat engineer) bought a 2005 BMW 325 manual Convertible much to the dismay of my wife.

Let me tell you - there is NOTHING like driving Highway 9 up to Skyline through Saratoga after chemotherapy. The manual transmission maybe mattered less than the convertible aspect (fresh air is what kept my nausea away) but the physical connection to the mechanism made me feel alive.

The car basically fell apart within a few years - but I don't regret the $8k it cost me.
I agree. But I found that approaching it _as_if_ database will change makes for a more focused model. Same goes for UI frameworks. Basically thriving toward Hexagonal architecture, without being too dogmatic.

As a CPA and software developer, I've been debating whether to create my own solution or explore the possibilities already present in the ledger area. However, I'm surprised that accounting and software engineering don't have more in common. The issue is that because business is complicated, accounting is often complicated as well. Software that disables the ability to add more than two line items to a transaction has been seen.
Unfortunately not yet. Lower salary workers work hard to care them now.

I also once was at my parents many KMs away from my PC and Moonlight apparently works over the internet? Not sure how much latency there was but it wasn’t noticeable. Note that my PC is wired to gigabit internet and I was on a gigabit AC Wifi network on my phone. Still, it blew me away.

Yea, I don't think the idea has any real value. It kind of falls in between a bookmarking tool and a search engine.

Indeed. Interestingly, psychedelics (mushrooms, LSD) work wonderfully for me, but cannabis is typically a bad experience (anxiety, nausea, no attention span, racing thoughts). Every brain is wired differently.
> I strongly disagree that the problem with email is clients. We simply get too much information sent to us via email. I don't want to have to filter my inbox--I want to receive just as much information that I need.

It sounds like you haven't tried an email client where filtering is ergonomic. I use mu / mu4e for filtering and reading emails. At my inbox, I press `s`, enter a search term, and instantly get matches. I can press `S` (capital s) to further refine the search with another term if the previous was too broad. Filtering is incredibly powerful and useful if it is presented in an accessible way in the client.

So what? The question stands.
Patents have maintenance fees that have to be paid periodically, otherwise the invention becomes public domain early. They are only a few thousand dollars, so it is a no-brainer to pay them.

If they were exponential, it would be reasonable to see most patents have shorter lives, as patent owners would probably decide that it is not worth it to keep the patent around if they are not using it.

Also, most software patents are invalid. See the Alice Supreme Court case.
Did any EU regulation or competiton get announced recently? Because it seems limited to that region, ironically.

You guys are walking into a trap.

This is going to be way worse than movie streaming, and unlike movies, when one of these companies pulls a game you once loved and it's not available, there will be no pirates to save you, because the software is trapped in the cloud. The future may well be streaming-only.

Mods will be greatly impacted eventually, with only sanctioned mods allowed to run in the cloud. There'll be no deep tweaking, no introspection or learning opportunities. Cloud mod API only.

And it'll go the way of all cloud services: fragmented. You'll have to subscribe to a different one for each game you want to play.

And you won't stop paying. To play a game over the course of 10 years, as many of you have with Diablo or Quake or Minecraft, you'll have to pay your $15/mo to each streaming service, so instead of Diablo being $50, it'll be $1500.

That's before we even start talking about the F2P/IAP/DLC casinos. You used to choose on the character select screen or find items in the game, now new characters are $10 and items are $10 up to $100+, we all know it should be part of the game.

Think, they don't really make arcade games anymore. I guess traditional videogames will die off too. More than one company has quit normal games to run a casino for children.

I guess I'll go pen a dirge for the dying art I have loved.

P.S., thank god for indie developers who make games without input from accountants and psychiatrists who specialize in addiction, they may save us all yet. There's also a glimmer of hope at gog.com where they still sell real games without DRM. I'll keep hoping.
That's not the takeaway here.

The takeaway is "military operations should never, ever use vaccination campaigns as a cover".
