In a lot of things historical, Wikipedia is overrun by, let's not mince words, neonazis. If you want to be more polite, people with a very strong yearning of their nations past to be really great, science be damned. The thing is, everything needs to be sourced but the veracity of the source, especially if it is not in English is not verified. That's because of the "no credentials are recognized" policy of Wikipedia which makes every historian stay far away from this cesspool of trolls. And since it's a clique, it's impossible to fix anything, edits will be reverted and there's nowhere to turn. I gave up, too, long ago.

I was adding the proper spelling of an ancient Persian vizier and scholar and my edit was reverted with "The other names in the lead are not supposed to have custom alphabets or whatever they're called". It's a Persian article and you refuse "custom alphabets or whatever they're called"?? I am out of here.
I don't see any evidence that Scrum works. All the proclaimed good parts (standups, sprints, retros) can be done asynchronously on as required basis instead of synchronously/periodically and a decent manager is able to coach/remind people to do so. Making them synchronous is often very distracting.

I think you are. Your suggestion could only work well if there was a perpetual voting season. Otherwise parties will just abuse their leverage only once every four years just to get more votes.

Indeed Plato considered astronomy to be the highest form of knowledge. To him it was superior to plane geometry (two-dimensional mathematics) and solid geometry (three-dimensional mathematics) since it was four-dimensional mathematics --- the study of the motion of three-dimensional objects through time.
Hmmm, so could they require that all handlers turn off the functionality on their phones that enables this concept to work? Thereby reducing the pings or hits all together?
Does anyone have any suggestion/information on how SSD are reliable for long term archival? When they are used only once to write and then stored away?
Absolutely agree. They are doing it to change the narrative and make people think that being back in the office is what the majority want. These executives are the ones that have access to mainstream media to get their propaganda out there. The average person does not.
They stopped US from pillaging Middle East.

I don't disagree. But the alleged scale seemed, well, somewhat exaggerated.
My thoughts exactly. Maybe I need to go back to lit class, but I have absolutely no idea what the argument is here.
I read the Emacs thread. Say what you want about the FSF as a whole, or even Emacs policy as a whole. But this is at another level. The proposal was to remove the function ns-do-applescript, which runs an AppleScript script using the C API, because AppleScript is proprietary and thus bad. I can sort of understand that. What I can't understand is the suggested replacement: to run the same AppleScript scripts using a shell command.

And I don't mean something like "well, we won't endorse any use of AppleScript, but 'run shell command' is a general-purpose interface and we can't stop users from using it for AppleScript if they really want to". I could understand that. No, there are uses of AppleScript in Lisp code within the Emacs repo itself (not a separate package repository or something). The thread discussed one such use, which fetches the user's contact list using AppleScript. This was considered completely fine. Fetching the user's contact list, as a high-level feature, is supported on free operating systems, so it's okay to also implement it for non-free operating systems, even if that requires using a proprietary OS-specific API, in this case AppleScript. All fine. But for some reason, it was considered essential to do this using a shell command instead of a C API.

There was even a post suggesting that ns-do-applescript be reimplemented on top of the shell command instead of the C API. In this case, Emacs would still be offering its users a built-in API to run AppleScript scripts, just… in Lisp code instead of C! Because that's so different!
When I was learning photojournalism, I loved B&H service and prices so much.

I've recently started adding B&H to where I shop for electronics, alongside Amazon and a local brick&mortar (Microcenter). I no longer check Newegg much, though recently they did have the best price on a particular 1U chassis that I wanted. I'd welcome more direct-to-consumer sales from the brands themselves.

I hate buying USB or SD flash devices, because of all the counterfeits of brand names, and I'll never buy one of those spammy-semirandom-named products.
It's diminishing returns for sure. I can't see how my life would change going from 1gbps to 5gbps, but it sure would be cool to set up as a hobby.

Aside from that, it does let you self-host bandwidth intense applications, like a home media server, or you could use it to seed torrents for your favorite linux distribution.
I have dropped quite a few Google Cloud ranges, as has APIBan. Abuse reports are useless with Google Cloud from what I've seen.

Most systems will never need to access anything in Google Cloud, it's okay just to drop them at the edge rather than have the CPU load of running fail2ban on a steady stream of logs.
There's something to it, historically LA's Jewish population has been clustered in the West Side.

There have been ~2B iPhones made. Doesn’t seem like a big deal. Not even an order of magnitude.
Not to mention there doesn't seem to be a lot stopping these robots from being customised by the purchaser.

I don't think there would be much in the way of a military contractor getting their hands on these and strapping a glock to it.

You know that price is too slow for 1TB drive and you are willing to take the chance and at the end you can still return it get the refund and give a bad review. I didn’t know how much better Amazon can do as a platform in this case.
While trying to sell a property I have been told that if it was found within 5 meters that would greatly impact the selling price for that specific reason. And it wasn't something super expensive to begin with.

>including from non-retail things like AWS

is there any example of this?
This is true for obvious scams (e.g. a blender that breaks in a week). However, for subtle scams people often don't realize the scam. For instance, many people won't hit the actual size limit of the USB and won't realize it's not 1TB. In these cases, Amazon does not take a reputation hit for these individuals due to them being unaware of the scam. Only the technically inclined or those who research before buying will realize the scam and think less of Amazon.
Wow! So if I were an Uber driver, I could change the destination on passenger request, right before I drop them off.

I rented a Tesla in a recent trip to California because I wanted to see what it’d be like to depend on one for a week.

It was a Model Y, and driving it completely dissuaded me from ever wanting a Tesla. At least in the copy I was driving, everything felt cheap. Rattles everywhere, piece of plastic had to be snapped back into place, it was lacking features I’d expect in an $60k vehicle, etc. I realize that it’s a rental car and might be seeing more use or misuse than normal, but doesn’t bode well for long term ownership.

Past that, though, Tesla made a horrendous design decision to hide everything in the menus of the screen. The most basic tasks that every car built in the last 80 years would have at your fingertips required me to hunt around. It’s a big distraction to hit two or three buttons on screen just to fiddle with an annoying digital slider to adjust the airflow. It might fit their definition of “futuristic” but it’s a case study in very bad UX.

Driving the damn thing was obviously fun, but I don’t think it’s fair to not include Tesla as still in beta mode. Based on my anecdotal experience they still have a long way to go to perfecting the car part of their car. Time will tell how well all of the 3s and Ys rolling off the assembly line will actually hold up.

Are you saying nothing more can be done?
How many people are in your household? I really can't see a use case for >1gbps symmetrical, at least not with the internet today.

It is very, very rare that I can take full advantage of my 1gbps connection when downloading software, updates, or video games.

Streaming videos rounds down to zero -- Netflix uses <20mbps at its highest quality setting, Apple TV Plus uses ~40mbps.

So, unless a normal day is five people are downloading the latest 150gb Call of Duty, while three people download Windows 11, and another 10 are watching Netflix, it's really going to be hard to saturate your bandwidth.
I have never had reliable 911 service on my Pixel 6, so glad to finally be parting ways with it.

It's wild to take a shitphone my carrier gave me for free, and it can reliably dial 911, meanwhile this phone I paid hundreds for that has 3 unique cellular networks it can cling to to make a 911 call refuses to place said call.

The darn Pixel 6 also leans way too heavily on low band LTE and 5G New Radio, making data performance lackluster as your often on overloaded, narrow slices of spectrum and not benefitting from carrier aggregation with midband and high band spectrum.
For my DIY hobby I buy a ton of stuff off Amazon - usually small parts under $15 dollars. I just checked and this year I've made 602 total purchases and, after checking the return e-mails they send, I've made 287 returns this year. I just click "bought by mistake each time".

If there is a social credit score based on number of returned items I still haven't hit it.
You can live without trust. You can't live without taking risks. Some are sensible, some are not. Unnecessary dependencies are unnecessary risks.
Like I describe in https://pilabor.com/blog/2022/01/the-ultimate-boot-stick/, I tend no longer buying USB drives but mini USB single card readers for micro SD. Although not as fast and a bit more expensive, they are reliable, bootable and pretty cheap to "upgrade", as soon as micro SD cards (e.g. Samsung Evo Select - made for amazon and highest probability of "no fake" cards) have sale prices.

I also use the software h2testw to check, if the drive / card is a fake or not as soon as I bought one.
There is some evidence that "aerobic exercise" itself produces an equivalent baseline energy deficit without the performance downside.

This guy[0] studies total average energy expenditure over time and demonstrates that an athlete undertaking intense regular exercise uses marginally more energy over time than someone sitting on a couch all day. The hypothesis being that the athlete is conserving energy by down-regulating baseline metabolic and inflammatory processes when at rest.

Disappointing news for "exercise causes dramatic weight loss" but encouraging news for "exercise is anti-cancer" (a correlation demonstrated many times I believe).

These were all reactions to NATO encroachment, no?
At least around the time of Roman rule the day was divided into what are called "canonical hours" so that there were 12 equal hours during the day and 12 equal hours during the night. This meant that during the summer the hours during day would be longer than the hours during the night and vice versa during winter.

But keeping track of the hours themselves was a bit hard, so usually people only referred to three major hours of the day: Terce, around mid-morning; Sext, at noon; and None, around mid-afternoon.

So yes, the hours of the day were absolutely dependent on the latitude (along with the day of the year).
That sounds like the dream. What do you do for 2FA stuff that requires a consistent number?

The ancient Egyptians did not. They used a 365 day calendar that consisted of 12 months of 30 days plus an extra 5 days at the end. But because they didn't have any leap days, the calendar would gradually cycle through the year relative to the seasons.
The credit doesn't just go by the number of returns - it also considers the total value of the returns and the value of purchase to value of returns ratio.
UI components can be small, and customizable enough to do anything.

The HTML is an excellent exemple at that.

You are never "limited" by highly abstracted librairies since at any moment, you can write your fully customized one.

And no, a customized components is not immediately better.

Good Library UI components have, i18n, accessibility, and good mobile UX.

The comment "I can do a decent calendar in react in a few minutes" shows exactly this: it's infuriating to use on mobile.

Isn’t that just “I got the wrong item”? The “item” you ordered was “8-pack of widgets”, you got “1-pack of widgets”, so it’s the wrong item.
I have always wondered about this. I buy and return a lot from Amazon. Do you have any further information? I've always looked to see but have never found anything myself.

Anecdotally, twice after periods of large purchases and high dollar amount of returns (because I was buying a lot of equipment and sometimes had to buy several of the same due to them coming faulty), I noticed same-day and next day shipping would disappear for a few months. I was never able to conclusively determine what the reason was though.

What I was trying to communicate in my original post was that VR is not like those mediums on this specific point. It completely removes you from the environment, it provides a lot more immersion but then also takes a lot more commitment to dive into. It only takes me 30 seconds to get the headset on and be in a game, so that's not the issue, it's just an entirely different level of engagement. I almost feel a little guilty when I use VR, because it feels like I'm forgoing the real world. I don't feel that way about games or movies.
Anazon promotes that wording because it increases engagement.

The anecdote you mentioned would also apply in the States. Duty paid for purchases from abroad, like Taiwan. Also, much like Canada, you’d usually pay shipping for small mom-and-pop shop or boutique web stores too.

It's just a general trend. The strength of the catabolic effect will depend on the specific intervention and dose. The risk is greatest for non-athletes because they tend to be weaker to start with and more likely to experience disabling falls as they age.
If you read the linked document of student complaints, https://nyunews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Organic-Chemi... many of the complaints, especially about the level of workload, are couched in ideological language.

It's not so hard to know if there will be an extra month using the Metonic cycle. You just add an extra month in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years.

That may sound complicated to remember, but consider how we figure out how long a month is in the Gregorian calendar. There are 30 days in the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 11th months and 28 days in the 2nd month (except for leap years). At least with the old lunisolar calendar you can figure out where you are in a month just by looking at the moon.

"Pope" comes from the Latin Pontifex Maximus". Julius Caesar (100 - 44 BCE) was a Roman Pontifex Maximus, Gregory VIII (1572 - 1585 CE was a Catholic Pontifex Maximus.

And keeping track of calendars was part of their job!!

>The Pontifices were in charge of the Roman calendar and determined when intercalary months needed to be added to synchronize the calendar to the seasons. Since the Pontifices were often politicians, and because a Roman magistrate's term of office corresponded with a calendar year, this power was prone to abuse: a Pontifex could lengthen a year in which he or one of his political allies was in office, or refuse to lengthen one in which his opponents were in power. A Pontifex with other political responsibilities, especially away from Rome, might also have been simply distracted from his calendrical duties as chief priest. This caused the calendar to become out of step with the seasons; for example, Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon in January 49 BC actually took place in mid-autumn.

Under his authority as pontifex maximus, Julius Caesar introduced the calendar reform that created the Julian calendar, with a fault of less than a day per century, and which remained the standard till the Gregorian reform in the 16th century.

Yes! Great intuition. The Jewish timekeeping scheme is based on "relative hours" — there are always precisely 12 hours of daylight, and 12 hours of night, regardless of how long the day or night is. The time is directly associated with the position of the sun relative to the Earth.

I've encountered this problem with superglue. I thought I'd be clever and setup a monthly subscribe and save and I ended up having to send back a single tube twice - the first time a single replacement tube was sent back to me, and the second time I received a credit and they cancelled the subscribe and save. It's basically impossible to get through their automated returns system to get the desired result - that is, receiving what you've already paid for.

Years ago, a similar situation would result in a "keep the item we sent by mistake, and we'll dispatch the quantity you paid for." This behavior seemed to rely on human support personnel.
“I still go to the DMV three to four times a week. Whereas other people avoid it, I embrace it.” Danny Trejo, a current client with a slew of vintage cars, calls Herman “a godsend,” adding, “If you go to the window there and try to get a registration for a 1930 Ford pickup truck, you’ll be there for hours, and it’ll be crazy,” referring to selfie and autograph requests.

I stopped reading here because he's still going to the DMV. I didn't read on to see what other things he does because the article gave no hint that there were many more interesting things to come
