Give the cloth a good whip or two before hanging it. While drying: constant airflow from a fan (make sure it’s not depositing dirt from the floor / wall / window-ledge to your clothes while it is on).

This breaks the oils/soap that have remaining in the woven fabric, that sometimes harden to encourage a wrinkle pattern. I think…
Self-Service Network Issues resolution in our company
In our company sometimes there are some problems with either DNS, or the router losing DHCP leases and failing to renew them, whatever. So we as the IT department came up with the simplest possible solution that does not require us getting into a train and going to the office to fix the issue. Every employee can solve 99% of the internet/intranet related problems themselves.
Thank you, didn't know about her.
What an idiots, isn't it obvious that the expire date for most of products is a joke?
I am wearing a Uniqlo undershirt right now that I bought before 2018. I don’t see any wear and tear.

When I used to wear business casual, I wore Next brand clothing and shirts/trousers looked the same to me even after years of drying and cleaning them. The part that starts showing wear is the fold in the collar, but that only happens a long time after I have gotten my $20 or $30 worth.

I am sure there are some visual differences between top tier clothes and what I wear, but I am okay with it as long as what I have looks clean and presentable.
How do you use Authy if you lose all of your possessions every few months?
afair you need to set up a phone number before you can choose to add another 2FA option (which is stupid imho)
Maybe we can build some sort of a "reverse proxy" solution where you can get a number from Twilio etc and just forward to an actual phone number from your carrier. Bonsu, you can add some "firewall" rules and boom. If you lose your phone from your carrier, your twilio number is the same. Just change the rule in Twilio ?

Isn't there a service like this already ? If not, there is your billion dollar startup idea.
I find it interesting that some sibling comments decry web3 and cryptocurrencies as scams. 'Crypto' doesn't scam people, scammers do. Crypto (currencies, web3, dao, defi, etc) makes it very very easy to move money or value in a way which cannot be controlled. This is a great property for those who value this ideal, and for others is frightening and disheartening. It really depends on where you place responsibility for managing your own opportunities: individual or society. Similarly, the scam aspect comes in for the difficulty of understanding the implications of your actions. Is this smart contract really doing what I expect it to? Well, how much do you invest in finding the answer to this question? I'd rather it be a question of capability, than trust. I can never know all that a bank or government does to ensure my dollars or euros are safe. Is that ideal? I don't know, but I appreciate that there is an alternative.
I don't understand how "HOAs" are legal.
Probably a dna solution, not that you'd want google to have that info directly.
There it is, there's the thing they're really railing against. They wanted every Republican voter to vote for all of the Republicans, then all (or none) of the Democrats. Basically turning the ballot into RvD.

But they forgot one crucial thing: people. Even within the party, there are members and candidates others can't stand. And if you're going to give people choices, you have to be prepared for them to make choices you don't agree with.
>racism and porn.

That's what got reddit to be the biggest forum on the planet. So I guess Mastodon is worth another look then.
Who do you think would be spending time on this at Google? I highly doubt that their software engineers and product managers in charge of 2FA would, when idle between pull requests, go out and help the homeless.

Why not lobby those engineers and product managers to improve something that they are actually have agency and arguably a mandate to improve, helping users homeless and otherwise?
Phaedrus, is that you?
My 2012 car supports reading mp3s off a CD which greatly improved the utility for me.

I kind of prefer it over the AUX jack since I hate messing with a touchscreen phone while driving. The radio has actual buttons and since it only does one thing it doesn't need to be messed with much to begin with.
The crap I tolerated from others when I was younger.

Not necessarily within relationships - that helped me define my standards and boundaries, raised my appreciation for functional relationships, yada yada ... it sucked ass but it served a purpose.

I mean more the treatment from customers and coworkers in my teens and early twenties, the restaurant jobs and summer gigs when I was just a skinny, horrifically awkward young woman that was busting her ass for minimum wage (or less) and didn't know how to stand up for herself. How I just froze up and smiled and didn't talk back. I should have humiliated those men. Instead they just went on about their day to do it to someone else.

Now I work from home and I'm too grouchy looking and, I guess, too old to get much of that any more, which is a blessing - but as far as regrets, I wish I'd found my spine in the aughts.
Uh huh. "Now look what you made me do", the eternal cry of the oppressive government or abusive family member.
I was a kid and my grandmother was at her dead bed. I saw her from outside, with all sort of devices hooked up, and couldn't make it inside and asked to be out. I wish my mom dragged me in by my ear even if she had to
The Mandela Effect is named for that false memory, yes, but it's more general. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_memory#Mandela_Effect):

> Other examples include memories of the title of the Berenstain Bears children's books being spelled Berenstein,[16][17] the logo of clothing brand Fruit of the Loom featuring a cornucopia,[18] and the existence of a 1990s movie titled Shazaam starring comedian Sinbad as a genie.

Former Red Hatter here. It has also gone the other way, where Red Hat obtained IBM teams that were better suited to live on our side and those products were more successful via integration with other Red Hat products.
Sadly yes
Exactly.

> Ranked choice absolutely conveys more information than approval. It's not as much as score voting, but it's mathematically false to say it's the same amount as approval. Among five candidates, approval would be 2^5-2=30 possibilities (almost 5 bits of information, assuming you can't approve/disapprove all because that's the same as not voting), while ranked choice would be 5!=120 possibilities (almost 7 bits of information, assuming ties aren't permitted). It's only with 3 candidates that they have equal information in terms of possibilities (2^3-2=6=3!).

This is a common intuition trap, but it's wrong. Consider the difference between score voting on a 16-point scale vs a million-point scale vs arbitrary-precision score voting. A ballot for the first conveys 4 bits per candidate; the second, about 20 bits per candidate; the last conveys infinite bits of information. You ... probably don't expect a substantial difference between election results with each option.

The trick is that the aggregation rule destroys information, which is kind of the point of aggregation. Different aggregation rules destroy different information. The difference between aggregated approval voting and aggregated arbitrary-precision score voting eats LSBs, sure, but the obvious probabilistic constructions for extracting approval votes from arbitrary precision score votes actually approximate the arbitrary-precision votes quite well, which is not what your intuition predicts, because it turns out LSBs are, well, less significant.

Also, the flat fact is that most single-victor elections in practice don't have more than three "top" candidates that you're practically interested in extracting information about.

> And individuals don't have intransitive preferences, only populations can. (Assuming mental competence.)

That's one hell of a bad assumption.
What if they do? I'm always being told that the US is a free country.
That ain't really free plus takes longer time. I have a blog that has over 25000 posts. That's why I wrote my own. Felt like share with others.. :)
Sure, an 'improvement' of a 0.00001% is still an improvement
It really is every company's fault that jumps on this absurd trend of seeing SMS-2FA as the be-all and end-all of user identification and verification.

Google is actually doing much better than the competition here in many aspects (e.g. it is possible to operate a Google account completely without a phone number for 2FA or account recovery), but as far as I understand, one is still required to initially create an account.
The biggest fallacy we have right now use that all use cases need to be treated equally and if they don’t then somehow they are being immoral.

Google is not being immoral.

The homeless people can use a different service.

Dealing with the use case of someone losing their phone every few weeks when you have billions of others to worry about is unreasonable. I think handling that situation should be considered out of scope.
Knowing little about photography all of these photos look like an obscure combination of fake and dull. Like over saturated HDR-era style photos with too little depth.

It's like those voice compression algos where at a certain threshold "the character" of the person talking has just completely disappeared then magically reappears at a high enough bitrate.

These photos seem compressed in a way that takes away the "soul" of what's photographed.

Mirrors the way heavy loudness compression and autotune has become standard in pop music, and audiences now prefers "metallic" voices and very little dynamic range - so people will probably prefer this ghostly aesthetic to actual reality going forward.
Not as much true as it could be, with the offerings I'm aware of (AWS OpenSearch, Elasti, Co's own cloud), and having used OpenSearch more extensively, you're still basically fully responsible for managing the cluster topology and the "data" node type is what handles storage and the important compute for search. If you need more storage you'll have to bump the EBS volume sizes on a new cluster and then do replication, or add a new node to the existing cluster and rebalance your data which are both very expensive operations. If you need more compute you're stuck with adding more storage regardless, but you can at least limit how much.

In the case of both services, they make the processes easier but you still have time and expense considerations to them, if only just waiting time and not active work on your part. But it also means you have a lot more monitoring concerns you have to implement and then account for.

Plus your choice in storage IOPS greatly effects query time so you also have to consider that and high IOPS storage is expensive.

It's a lot of things for someone who just wants a workable search for their product to have to know.

The new architecture they're proposing seems to allow for much more seamless scaling as your data grows without a bunch of manual intervention, monitoring
and infra knowledge to make sure things don't fall over on you.
I believe there is a genetic maximum capability by age (GMCA) for any given endeavour. Certain categories of endeavours require significant time spent in youth (early teens to mid twenties) in order to reach GMCA - let's call these type 1 endeavours. For others, you can start later in life and still nearly reach GMCA (type 2). Other endeavours are more heavily skewed to genetics and may not require a significant time investment (type 3).

Examples of type 1 endeavours are violin, guitar, chess, skateboarding, gymnastics, hockey, soccer, competitive programming and slope style mountain biking.

Examples of type 2 endeavours are cycling and long distance running.

Examples of type 3 endeavours are sprinting, poetry and power lifting

This is a bit of a strawman, but I think it has the potential to be more accurate than GMCA can be achieved simply in 10K hours.
Well, seems like this is a clear path for improvement: a decent UI tool for migration between instances
It's also a governance issue. Any site or service that's run by a single person, whether it's well-financed or not, is subject to burnout, illness, death, etc. Having a team and/or having a succession plan can help insulate from the impact these can cause. I submit as an example Metafilter. Matthowie ran it himself for a very long time but over time built a team that took over when he "retired". It's one of those things that must be put in place well before it's truly needed and doesn't lend itself to last-minute scrambles.
Dryer did not exists and human have been drying clothes in most climates in the last few thousand of years.

That being said : I see what you mean. I grew up in France ( dryer don’t exists ) and it’s easy to dry stuff there. Except maybe in winter.

Now I’m in Louisiana… yeah, it’s humid. But if you put things in the sun it does dry super quick too.
Lately I've noticed that public trackers are behind Cloudflare. If you're on a VPN, you have a high likelihood of getting the Cloudflare captcha. Your bittorrent client will be unable to scrape those trackers, or bootstrap DHT, etc because of the cloudflare block.
cross chain bridges, from my understanding, are layer 2 protocols that live on 2 chains at once using validators. Basically, you have nodes staking coins on both chains and they attest that the coins coming out of one side of the bridge are matched by coins going in the other side of the bridge

So for example you send some $FOO tokens to a contract on the ethereum side then get out $WFOO (wrapped foo) tokens from a contract on another chain.

I've been interested in these protocols for a while as a possibility of making crypto actually scalable and not a pyramid scheme (basically, imagine a network of interoperable chains powered by stable tokens like USDC, and using inter-chain protocols to transfer USDC between them as needed for load balancing).

That said, reality hasn't quite met my expectations, not yet anyways.
It was more likely a favorite because, in addition to being cheap, reliable, and sturdy, it is extremely common and easily available. The same model has been produced since 1989, and millions are produced every year. They're everywhere. It's apparently consistently the #1 top selling watch on Amazon, and the first result for "digital watch".

Possession of an F-91W being used as evidence of being a terrorist trained in bomb-making for purposes of detention at Guantanamo Bay was highlighted as something ridiculous because of how common the watches are. There's ample evidence that al Qaeda bomb-makers were quite fond of the watch, yes. But as prisoners at Guantanamo pointed out, apparently in vain, many guards there wore the same watch. It's just that common.
Many of the dominant religions in our world sees suicide as a sin, some going so far as to claim that the victim will be punished for it in the afterlife. This morality defines much of our lives, even if you don’t belong to a religion.

Point in case: suicide is illegal in many states in the US.
This is cool. In construction? Do you plan on doing residential, industrial, or commercial? Do you have previous experience?I would love to build physical things for a living.

> The first bit of advice is to recognize that you, like almost everyone else who discusses "the 10,000 hour rule" (and what it means regarding "practice" and "mastery") have completely failed to understand what the actual author meant, so you do yourself and everyone else a favor by dropping the subject.

It would be helpful if you can explain why people misunderstand this rule or at least point to somewhere that does rather than essentially saying, "you don't know what the 10k rule is".
There is nothing wrong with asking.

Intelligence is the ability to craft a more optimal solution than a brute force approach would take.

Also worth noting that MySpace is still running and though far below peak usage still has millions of monthly visitors, likely more than Mastodon.

You agree to the contract. As simple as that.
Webdev is risky as an older person if thats all you know because its the most popular, and therefore most competitive.

My advice is to use webdev as a backup to a specialisation of some kind, ideally something you can grow with. Embedded is a great choice, and its definitely more technical work.
No, people like you really highlight the “If they don’t help everyone then they are being immoral” mentality. Which is wrong.

Down grading security for the benefit of a tiny minority with an especially ridiculous use case is not the greater good. If the homeless people think they are at risk of losing their phone then they should pick another free email vendor.
Wtf Calling homelessness a "niche" .. peak apres moi le deluge
Regardless of validity of the 10k hour “rule”, you absolutely can. My mother, who had an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering but was a stay-at-home mom for 25 years, went to law school when she was 46. She worked as a patent attorney for 10 years before retiring.
There could be many things:

- One person is more reliable than the other

- One person does more than bare minimum (you can love it or hate it but employers do care and pay attention)

- One person solves more problems than others

- One person owns more and complains less

Lot of things that can make one person different than another even though they both may have the same job titles and responsibilities on paper.
> some part of the code are owned by both IBM and Microsoft who collaborated on OS/2 at the beginning before Microsoft decided to build its own Windows. Rumors are that while IBM was positive about open sourcing OS/2, Microsoft did not give consent.

This is very easy to believe. In Summer of '95, I interned at a tester for a group in IBM Austin that was developing a product called OS/2 Lan Server Enterprise. This was a version of Lan Server where all the underpinnings were to be replaced with the DCE product they were developing concurrently. (So we'd write scripts to do things like create a user with an LS command and verify that the user was created with a DCE command.)

One of the other concurrent goals at the time was to remove Microsoft code from OS/2. Developers on the team were classified into those who had seen Microsoft code and those who had not. Even seeing the MS code was immediate disqualification from writing anything new, and this was actively enforced.

> I have been an OS/2 user back in the days, the system was great at that time,

I'd always wanted to be excited about OS/2, and the IBM job was about as close as I got. My day to day PC at the job was an ancient (1988-era) PS/2 Model 80, and it ran even the current
versions of OS/2 surprisingly well.

Aside from IBM's odd marketing ("Get Warped" ?!?!?), Microsoft did a better job meeting customers where they were... both Windows 3 and Windows 95 are great examples of this. OS/2 was technically better, but never quite aligned with the market.

(The first release of OS/2 cost about triple what DOS did, had significantly higher system requirements, and needed specific software to enable the new functionality... which did not initially include a GUI. It was a very difficult sell. It might have gone differently if Microsoft had been able to convince IBM to require a 386... but OS/2 was part of the PS/2 strategy, and only the highest end of the four PS/2's had a 386.)

I've been using eSIMs for the past couple of years for this specific use case, and while they certainly help, it's really just a stop-gap measure:

You still need your phone and cell signal to receive them (at least many European carriers don't support SMS over VoWIFI); the eSIM is "stuck" in your phone if it physically breaks (and on many carriers, you can't re-use an eSIM QR activation code in any case); in many countries, SIMs expire after a couple of months or even weeks of inactivity, losing your number permanently, to name just a few.

I've found Google Voice to work quite well as a workaround for almost all of these problems, but unfortunately, many US companies insist on not allowing VoIP numbers for 2FA or even plain account creation purposes. I usually try to avoid these companies.
Putin said he won't invade. Then he said Kyiv will fall in three days. Then conducted fake referendums, "annexing" territories he doesn't control. Izyum was declared a part of Russia forever from now on, and that "forever" lasted two days. So, this "doing what he says" doesn't quite check out.

As for casus belli - against whom exactly? And why would Russia need any casus belli?
Except the obvious, Wikipedia / Wikimedia, I would throw in the current best GPU and a copy of Stable Diffusion / GPT-3 fully trained dataset checkpoints + code to run them, both are great tools for enhancing creativity in a desolate world.

I know it's an average, but I'm somewhat surprised that refrigeration is half of heating/cooling. I suppose gas heat offsets much of the heating requirement in some areas and some parts of the US have minimal cooling needs.
