In 2003 I had my web server in my college apartment bedroom. This is back when AOL Instant Messenger was popular.

I had a URL on my website called moo.html that wasn't indexed. My friends had it bookmarked, and when they visited it they got a picture of a cow, but it played a cow mooing in my bedroom. It was a nudge to come online and be social.

The End.

About 2 years ago I believed the same. Then I used BTRFS as a store for VM images (with periodoc snapshot) and performance went down to really really bad. After I deleted all snapshots performance was good again. There is a big performance penalty in btrfs with more than about 100 snapshots.
As a person that spends way too much time on these efforts[0], here's what makes the phone still worthwhile to me despite being slow and at times buggy: It's nice to be in an ecosystem that does not have ad frameworks, that does not nudge you into using iCloud or where you have to use Play Services (or invest time into building around not having them (and more than once, did that for years)) for apps to work properly.

(That aside, I have not had the problems OP describes - but the worst problems with PinePhone (outside of highly experimental software) I suffered through where with Manjaro.)

> Why do we design the most important room in the house around the gear that simply provides our morning cuppa? Because there’s nothing simple about coffee anymore.

Who is we? And on top of this being an absurd rich-journalist problem, you really don't need an espresso machine at all. A pour-over coffee filter and a bag of pre-ground beans is like $10 total and makes totally decent coffee. Espresso should be a treat for occasions like sitting in a cafe, and an espresso machine is like a pasta roller or ice-cream machine. Totally fine for hobbyists, but most people should just leave it to the pros.

> By "dietary regimens" are you talking about intermittent fasting? I find it hard to believe that "not eating for 16 hours a day" is "without any effort", or less effort than "not snacking" or "not eating smaller meals".

As someone who used to weigh a lot more, I think you'd be surprised. The first couple days are a little rough, but after that you're just not very hungry during the day. In contrast, "eating smaller meals" fucking sucked. You're still hungry, you've already gone out of your way to obtain food, and now you have to stop and keep going on with your day. Remember that people don't get fat being used to eating appropriate size meals.
Surely "why is radar a black hole of suck" is in there somewhere?

From that paper, the average COP measured was 3.06 (averaged between 2 and 7 degree outdoor temperatures, typical of the UK).

The UK electricity price is currently fixed at 34p/kwh for electricity and 10.3p for gas.

A new gas boiler has a COP(efficiency) of 1.054 (it can manage efficiency higher than 100% because gas is metered by the 'lower heating value', which assumes the exhaust gas escapes as steam, but the boilers actually condense most of that steam to water, getting additional energy out).

So. Total price is: Gas: 10.3/1.054 = 9.77p/kwh in your home.

Total ASHP price is: 34p/3.06 = 11.1p/kwh in your home.

And this analysis ignores the fact that ASHP's typically have much worse efficiency making hot shower water (which a gas boiler doesn't), and obviously also have considerably higher upfront costs too.
Do what is right, regardless of incentives, culture, etc. I couldn't agree more. But the mishandling of the breach is indicative of failures at multiple layers, not just security. And I am not sure how his indictment fixes much.

Yeah, I'm a little confused on the use case for this. I guess I could put all of the annoying services that demand a phone number for totally-only-security purposes-trust-us into a "bucket" number. It doesn't sound like it is a feature but I'd prefer that calls and texts to that number just be outright ignored unless I've turned the number on temporarily for verification. But since they have started rejecting VOIP numbers for verification, and now even prepaid phone numbers (!) for verification I feel like this probably won't work for that either.

I personally only use prepaid cards so a service that makes them appear like post paid might be useful on its own though.

The fact that you only get one number and you can't change is seems to blunt some of the utility. Ideally you'd want a separate number for each service and to have them all turned off, to block identifying you as the same user of different services. Not quite as easy to do with finite numbers as with email address suffixes.

I wonder if you could use this like 5sim or other shady text verification services by just remaking a monthly account. I suspect that is not the idea here and probably forbidden, otherwise they'd let you change numbers.

Try Linux with steam. Most of your library will probably still work and you can update at your own pace. If it works on the Steam Deck, it will work on Linux.

Steam will still self update which is annoying but usually fairly quick. But otherwise, keeping linux up to date is pretty easy and something you can control. With Manjaro, I run a "yay" once a week or so and it takes 10 minutes or so maximum and everything is up to date.

Imagine that your boss is also your prison guard, and that his pay and bonuses are not paid based on being a prison guard but on your output. As someone who was in the Feds and and who saw the people around him forced to work even with severe injuries, sickness, COVID, because they had to meet the UNICOR contract that said they would deliver X widgets, it is literal slavery. Our COVID rules were based around UNICOR output not good COVID guidance, to the point the CDC had to take over running the prison. You can not complain, or you will be put in a cell with very intimidating guys, and your cell will be shaken down every day because you are in it and are causing trouble, which will be make clear to your cellies, and your cellies will 'have a talk' with you about causing trouble. If you continue, you will get 'diesel therapy'. Sure, you have access to the courts, once your diesel therapy is over, and 10 months later the court will start to respond, the BOP will say they changed XYZ, the court will say in that case the inmates challenge is now moot and rule against you.

There was a very good LT (cop of lieutenant level) (strict, super cop type, but he followed the rules and you knew what you got, which is what you want in prison) transferred to UNICOR. He quit the BOP prior to getting his very very generous retirement package because he could no longer accept how UNICOR treated people (not inmates, people).

I'm one of those folks that feeds whole beans into a $30 OXO countertop grinder then into reusable kcups, all this taking a small bit of shelf space on a rack in my kitchen next to the slow cooker, air fryer, etc. I sure as hell don't need a coffee shop level espresso machine in my house taking up half the counter space, wow.
Glad of that actually. As a software developer, I would rather talk to the developers.
See my original comment: the 13th amendment allows involuntary servitude as a legal penalty.

Many hangover symptoms, specifically the mental fog, fatigue, and general malaise, are caused by GABA receptor starvation, not by hydration levels.

Like you, I can put down a pint of whiskey and feel mostly fine the next day. This is due to differences in homeostatic mechanisms between people, and the time it takes the brain to resume nominal GABA/glutamate agonism after ethanol-induced downregulation. Some people are much faster than others.

> Not close to strong enough for a Space Elevator.

I thought space elevators were deployed with space tethers, which are held taut by the planet's rotation and centrifugal force. While mutant silk worm silk still may not be strong enough for a space elevator, it shouldn't depend on the weight of the rope hanging below it but instead the on the centrifugal force pulling in the opposite direction, away from the planet's surface.

I lived in NYC for a long time, where space is at a premium. The idea of giving up significant chunks of my available counter space to a coffee machine was a non-starter for me. My solution was a hand grinder, a french press, and a pot of water.

I'm in the burbs now, with much more space, but I've kept the setup because the other nice benefit is the simplicity of it -- though I am considering buying a coffee machine to keep in storage and bring out for when I have guests and need to make larger amounts of coffee regularly.

I've gone through a few grinders over the years, but currently I am using a grinder from [1]handground, which I've been happy with. Gone through a few french presses as sometimes they break, but they're also easy to buy at home stores or coffee shops -- I currently have one by bodum that's been working well for a few years.

The actual coffee depends on how much I want to splurge. I'm not a huge coffee snob so I can get away with the medium-priced beans, eg Wholefoods store brand rather than, say, Intelligentsia or La Colombe (though I will sometimes splurge on those). I find _freshness_ matters a lot more than brand.

Not a big espresso drinker, but one of my sisters uses those little stovetop espresso makers and has been happy with it.

> Groups of humans have denigrated others and felt better than outsiders since the dawn of History.

Well yes they have. That doesn't answer my question about the need or motivation for doing this.

That's true, but disagrees with the original comment's claim: "They are simply projections of modern sensibilities to the period of European settlement."

> Humans have a inclination too think that their in group is superior to others

Yes, that's the dictionary definition of racism. The result of which is often justification to oppress the "inferior" group.
Thank you! I'm going to check this out. A question about a comment you made elsewhere herein:

> My caveat about this is some services will silently ignore you if you try to use a virtual number. It's more useful for IRL where you don't want to throw your real number around much.

How, specifically, do other services detect this? Is it like with IP address space where it's possible to determine things like "this C block belongs to Entity X, Inc"? Are you aware of mechanisms to avoid this detection/blocking that don't require using a "real" number.
Wow, no built-in speakers/headphones? Ignoring the sticker shock for a moment, for $1500 that seems like a big oversight. The ones on my Index are incredible quality and can't be heard by anyone near me even when the volume is pumped up, but they're selling these $50 Meta Quest Pro VR Earphones separately? Feels kind of like they're adding insult to injury.

Separately, I still have a hard time with my friends Quest controllers compared to the Valve knuckles. Something about how the Valve controls grip your hands, instead of you actively gripping them, it's just so much more natural. I'm really surprised these new controllers don't have the same style of straps built-in.

right, but that's the old, divitis way of doing it. using grid this way let's you set all the children to the content width and then selectively break out of that with just a class on the child element (without extra divs).

i use a responsive gutter in my default grid that is akin to the article's technique, for the same issue that sometimes you want a little padding and sometimes you want full bleed (usually for just the background). once subgrid comes to chrome, it will be even easier to control content width without divitis.

We put these protections into the law because the alternative isn't no protection; it's people-take-it-into-their-own-hands protection.

Having pet fish as a kid, seeing them form bonds with each other and then get distressed when their "friend" died (I swear we had a loach get depressed, their behavior dramatically changed after, and even a "replacement" for the lost fish didn't help) is what made me drop the pesco part of my pescovegetarianism.

Completely different price points though. The Quest 2 was priced for the general public, this is a specialty device for hobbyists and it looks like they are targeting corporations.

What you're missing is that a company cannot just hire to meet racial quotas which reflect population percentages in order to be free of bias.

That's not what bias means.

What bias means is that if there are two equally qualified candidates (as in almost exactly, so that it's a coin toss between them), then one from a certain background is consistently chosen.

If more applicants are available that happen to be from a certain ethnic group, and tend to be better qualified, then that's what the organization has to work with.

That is a societal problem; you can't just dump it onto the shoulders of an organization and require hiring quotas: "please fix the decades-long problem which brought these people to your door, with the qualifications they have, in the proportions you see".

As an aside, I know a lot of people love the "The little ...X..." series of books but in my personal opinion they are unnecessarily cryptic. For me, the supposedly pedagogical style of teaching feels confusing and frustrating.

Not sure what came first, but that book series make me think of a trend that possibly started with "_why's poignant guide to Ruby". I just feel like at this point of my life I'm a cranky programmer that just wants to get things done. The extra "sugar" and whimsy does nothing for me.
