Others have already mentioned good pens to start with, but I want to mention that the paper is equally important. Clairefontain makes great notebooks for fountain pens that won’t break the bank.

The reason for this has to do with paper composition and weight and how free flowing (liquid) ink interacts with the paper fibers. [1]

The previous poster's description of the problem isn't by force of nature. It's by other people ("huge bonuses for the CEOs while the workers have to struggle to pay rent"). Perhaps the CEOs should offer some concessions to the young workers.
From what I can remember when I set this up last all our MDM did was:

- Ensure full disk encryption

- Time limit on how long people can defer OS upgrades

- Report on software installed and versions

- Enforce somewhat complex password

- Enforce password after screen has become locked

- Allow us to remote wipe the machine if lost/stolen

It didn't stop you from installing / uninstalling anything - even itself. Although if your machine stopped phoning home for a certain amount of time we had some alerts set up for the IT support team to follow up.
There’s a term for this: “desire path”

Like when you see a worn path in the grass where hundreds of people took the same shortcuts instead of using the proper planned-out pathways.

One of these day someone will do OpenBazaar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenBazaar) right. They were on to something, and just possibly, all this infrastructure built around web3 might not be completely useless for that kind of a distributed marketplace.
I’ve had decent luck with shairport-sync (I think the name was) for Airplay audio. Only relevant for mac/ios, which I happen to use. Video playback and streaming airplay audio syncs up though, totally unlike windows with bluetooth audio, which I discovered in the past. I use a USB sound card with an older «dumb speaker» of good but analog quality.
I got sent home with opioids after a collapsed lung surgery many years ago. I was in a lot of pain, so I took one, felt great for a half an hour and then things started to spin and I felt nauseous for like 4 hours where I just stared at the ceiling. Even a sneeze hurt like hell where I'd been stitched up - I really did not want to barf.

After that, I took over the counter painkillers and just kind of dealt with the pain, as it was better than feeling all wobbly and dizzy.

Actually, I believe he is probably correct in that case. He is discussing whether the mean is meaningful depending on the shape of the distribution. It's probably not fair to summarize his explanation as saying he doesn't understand mean and average.

Here in Illinois they charge huge $ for a license to grow.

And they suppress opiates. And promote weed.

And the dispensaries are all owned by the usual billionaires. That includes our governor.

I think if you start with vision, and you have passion for something the logistics around making it happen will manifest, or it won't if its not ready/needed. It depends on where your idea takes you and sometimes ideas need to be iterated to figure out where you are going. IMHO is too early to be focusing on the negatives of what may or may not happen. That comes later and it should be made in a positive direction, "Where are we going to get the money to make this happen", rather than, "Yea man, that's going to cost you a lot money". When comming up with ideas, the latter doesn't really help, for me.
They also make a product that, when it fails, doesn’t generally kill anyone.
Clearly you've never done any serious plumbing job. It seems simple in my mind, but going to do any of it in real life quickly gets quite complicated:

* Any tiny leak of liquid or gas is a huge problem and liability, thousands of units of resources (water or whatever) can be wasted and also cause property damage or kill people (gas leaks)

* Figuring out and sourcing the right fittings and BoM can be challenging

* It's fundamentally a messy business, mixing primer and glue, digging trenches, hard to reach spaces, encountering other unknown pipes or obstacles and needing to figure out head scratchers like "well how important is this unmarked X in the way of where I need to route"

* Lots of jobs involve retrofitting the future thing into existing (old, or even very old) structures where everything is variable from one case to the next

In many ways, programming is a lot easier since the complexity is in your head and not a physical problem.

In general I love DIY and do it for a lot of things, but when it comes to plumbing the lessons I've learned are 1.) when possible, leave it alone and not mess with it, and 2.) Otherwise bite the bullet and hire a professional.
As an indian, I don't see anything wrong with my country having a kill switch for the internet because (1) India is a democracy (2) It is a foreign platform and (3) A kill switch for communication platforms is necessary to prevent rumour mongering or disrupt coordination during tense political situations like rioting (which is common in India). Note that this is not a new thing - every government also has a kill switch for various other communication platforms; for e.g. governments often do cut-off cell phone communications in a particular region during tense moments.

J&K though is a special case in India where indian government has indeed often curtailed democratic rights for many decades (often overreaching itself while fighting terrorism there), and has been guilty of over abusing their powers there, sadly without much repercussion. That's because J&K is a disputed area between India, Pakistan and China - India has fought 3 wars with Pakistan over it, China occupies some area of it, and had recently invaded India and even annexed some more area (China taking "incremental and tactical actions" to press territorial claims with India: Pentagon - https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/international/china-taki... ). The indian judiciary thus does grant the government more leeway for non-violent tactics like cutting of communication or holding an important political person under house arrest. But for violent abuses of power, the Indian judiciary has not hesitated to stand up for the rights of the citizens and has even ordered arrest and prosecution of Army and police officials when necessary. Unfortunately, Narendra Modi, the current indian Prime Minister is inexperienced in statecraft, has also made more of a mess by unnecessarily changing the status quo of J&K, thus creating more unrest in the state thus necessitating the current situation there (India’s Supreme Court Orders a Review of Internet Shutdown in Kashmir. But For Now, It Continues - https://time.com/5762751/internet-kashmir-supreme-court/ ).

That said, I do believe more restrictions and judicial oversight is necessary before the government is allowed to use such powers to kill communication platforms. Especially since the current right-wing religious fundamentalist Modi / BJP government has indeed abused this power undemocratically many times to use it even against legitimate opposition and blunt their protest movement and criticism against it:

Yes, although not a full title. It was the period between PS1 and PS2 and no publishers were committing until they knew what was happening with PS2 (because of the outrageous success of the PS1). I built a bezier-patch based engine for it and physics system, and we produced two fun little game demos to try and get publisher funding, but it didn't come.

It was super easy and fun to develop for (which after the pain of the Saturn was a relief). It's a real shame it didn't get more support, it just arrived at the wrong time.
Depends on how you look at it. Costco had a 20 year head start, and with the way returns compound they should really be MUCH bigger than Amazon if capitalism worked well for the working class.

Personally I spend most of my money at Costco when I can because I prefer giving money to companies that treat their workers better (or at least better than Amazon).
Rock star, even had the hair to prove it. But I never reached tolerable on the guitar. Which leads is to one thing that seems to be different for the current generation's pipe dream: lack of clear requirements. Sure, they'd better have some form of appearing charismatic on screen, but that's much less clearly cut out as "good radio voice" or "hot enough for MTV cameras" (or athleticism, or some music skill). Particularly because there are plenty of examples of influencer brands built on "on camera despite". Which might vet well be helped by the platforms, boosting I'm their algorithms a few random "you could be them!" to platform-stardom to foster The Dream in more consumers.
Yep, funny how that works.
For Python specifically, I'd add:

Type checking with mypy is a good way to accomplish the "unsafe/safe" string case without having to pollute the variable names. It's a really good use of types in a language that will let you blast through them if you want.

There's something to be said for writing code that is "obviously correct". List/dict/set comprehensions are super underrated for this.

x = [str(y) for y in my_list if y > 5 and y not in other_list]

You can look at that and know it's correct. Versus:

x = []
for y in my_list:
if y not in other_list and y > 5:
x.append(y)

Easy enough to check in this case but it requires checking 4-5 different common mistakes (is x initialized, append vs. extend). Also I got so caught up writing the loop I forgot the point was to cast y to a str.
> Funnily enough from RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceabilty) British liquid cooled engines beat American radial engines so hard it wasn't funny.

Presumably you mean the Merlin and not, say, the Sabre? :)

But anyway, that's interesting, haven't heard of that before. Do you have some more information on this topic?

From what I've read Americans were shocked to find out how 'hand built' the Merlins were, with pretty large differences between each engine, engines being delivered with metal filings in the crankcase requiring inspection and cleaning and whatnot. So a large part of the work Packard did for the license produced Merlin was tightening up the design so it could be mass produced much faster on production lines. Of course this doesn't prove the RAS point you made one way or the other, but it seems strange that if Americans put so much more emphasis on efficient production that they wouldn't have put similar effort into serviceability?

I'm really glad for you, but I don't know how I would have survived my wisdom teeth removal without them. Even with the pills the pain was still excruciating. I lost a lot of weight from inability to eat or even drink.

In my opinion, giving somebody pills who doesn't need them (what used to be the norm) isn't great but the vast majority of people don't suddenly become junkies. Most people are perfectly fine. You yourself is evidence of this.

But not giving somebody pills who does need them (which is now the norm) is literal torture, and the practice disgusts me. I'm really glad you were fine, but not everybody is so lucky, and the number of people who say as you do but also have the power to enforce their views on everyone else have literally been responsible for torturing others. The only thing worse than sitting in pain and misery is knowing that the means to relieve some of that pain is readily available, but some person decided you shouldn't have them so you get to suffer.
Yea I imagine there is a fairly easy solution to this problem. And if there is not - I guarantee you creative people in India are going to figure it out!

More of your storefront being portable is a big plus for any business that fears lock-in or unwanted removal from Amazon.

I haven't looked into the specifics of this offering, but if you were able to use your own custom domain for your storefront, minimise the platform's insights into your actual sales (i.e. to prevent a similar case to Amazon launching products in your niche), etc and mainly leveraging a centralised platform for the audience, then that's the best of both worlds.

> There is a giant chasm between “Twitter gets to decide what it wants to host on its own web site” and “government censorship of speech”.

How wide is the chasm between "The administration and congresspeople directly contact twitter and ask them to remove particular ideas and people from their website" and "government censorship of speech"? If you can do the first, why even push for the second? Chinese-style censorship involves approval boards, paperwork, and permanent records. What we have now involves government officials making deniable phone calls and veiled threats.
Few years ago I went into fountain pens after years of stationery obsession. It is wonderful hobby.

I have and parts of it are a hellscape due to a local political system that is paralyzed by this idea that we can't forcibly lock up and treat the mentally ill. I wonder if it's just a matter of having so many, but I bet if a person was ranting and raving with no pants on in downtown Wichita they would be locked up. I am not blind to the problems in California. All I'm trying to say is that California is different from other states, some ways better, some ways worse, and speaking about California as different is not arrogant. I understand that it comes off that way if all I did was go on about how great it is. I'm not. California has big problems. Problems that may be coming to your state soon.
Indeed, it is quite difficult to see how this makes sense "on the edge" compared to Atom P, which offers more cores, draws less power, has ECC, and is more highly integrated, offering a real SoC solution with integrated NICs.
I didn’t choose an obscure use case like compiling the Linux kernel while editing 4K video. Chrome is a popular choice among Mac users.

On the other hand, you would be surprised how well Office365 runs on Windows 10 on my old Core2Duo 2.66Ghz Dell. It also has a beautiful 1920x1200 display before laptops went 16x9 and Gigabit Ethernet.

It was originally a company laptop for a failed startup I worked for and was to use to run Windows CE emulators while developing using .Net compact framework.
The quoted sentence is talking specifically about atomic variables. I would edit it if I still could.
That wasn't the example I gave. The issue is living exclusively off peanut butter and white bread. Specifically it is the lack of dietary variety to get a proper mix of various nutrients which is the issue. There are lots of things out there that will give you about 80% of what you need, the issue is that all the cheap options are giving you roughly the same 80%, consistently and completely filling in that gap is hard.

For example iodine is critical for regulating metabolism, but most foods which contain significant amounts (like seafood) are expensive, and cheaper sources (like eggs) need to be consumed in large amounts, offsetting their low expense, and causing other issues balancing diet. If you have an iodine deficiency you don't die, but with your metabolism out of whack it is again harder to maintain your health. Now if you go to your doctor they might be able to identify an iodine deficiency and get you supplements or have you buy specialty products like iodized salt, but this reduces to the more general problem that healthcare in the US is incredibly messed up and disproportionately difficult for those in poverty to access reliably. 92% of the US population has some vitamin or nutrient deficiency.

Basically, mistaking the malnutrition issue as just people not having access to a good cookbook is exactly the problem.
If your solution is “spend a lot of time learning a lot of rules and make sure you never accidentally do something you shouldn’t” then your solution is fragile and shitty.

Inflation happens because of many reasons, not just one reason, or "only". Which ones are currently affecting is, is up for debate, but it's surely not just one reason.

Sorry, I was typing "old" :) And yes, I care about language to be able to support it and manage resources (PHP, CPP is fine). Self-hosted, bare metal. I used PostNuke-based CMS (LAMP) and was very satisfied with it.

Indeed. Eventually there will be a revolution if the wealth concentration trend continues. I'm on the side of the working class forever and always, as I grew up dirt poor (and got exceptionally lucky because of my early interest in computers) and my family is still dirt poor today, so I have a good idea of what it's _actually_ like to starve.
I'd hope the article would present something that scaled better than users needing to remember what to do with u/s-prefixed variables. Response handlers needing to worry about unsafe/safe strings lowers their cohesion and hurts readability. Newtypes are an obvious solution, or a DSL that sits above the actual Response API would also be good.

Luckily, since this was written, most web frameworks use some sort of templating system which probably eliminates 99% of the ad-hoc HTML from response handlers.

On Hungarian notation:

> Somebody, somewhere, read Simonyi’s paper, where he used the word “type,” and thought he meant type, like class, like in a type system, like the type checking that the compiler does. He did not. He explained very carefully exactly what he meant by the word “type,” but it didn’t help. The damage was done.

This is the pop culture of programming: insightful advice stripped of nuance, elevated to Best Practice, and blindly repeated with the source material completely forgotten about. Said practice eventually rots away because it isn't as universal as once touted.

Absolutely unintuitive as compare to Wordle (which I'm guessing the name is a play on).
Zsh (and to a lesser extent Bash) has support for arrays, which you can use to represent long command line invocations in relative safety. E.g. instead of this sort of madness:

#!/bin/sh

set -eu

# Argh I can't write comments in between lines... just email me if you have q's: nerdponx@mail.example.net
exec /usr/sbin/boop \

--sound=woof:.:loader=net.quibbler.QuibblerWoofMaker \
--jvm-opts='-Xms512M -Xmx1G -Xquux=1234 -Xbootclasspath:.'

But you can preserve what's left of your brain cells without switching to a "non-shell" language if you use Zsh, and then you don't have to sweat over shell quoting and parameter expansion either:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh
