He likely did not use a clean room, so that repair probably was temporary.

What time period? My position is that you don't know ahead of time what assets will rise and fall, but in the long term stocks will beat inflation. And if you want to preserve your wealth so you don't have to worry about the cost of milk you will need to beat inflation.

They care about stocks, bonds, and real estate precisely because of inflation. Because if they don't beat inflation they get poorer every year.

If you don't invest you are guaranteed to lose to inflation, that's why people invest in riskier assets. They don't do it because it's fun.
I've gotten used to the idea that it seems like if I get a solar roof and power system that I can charge my electric car during the zombie apocalypse, where as AFAIK, I can't easily create gasoline or enough hydrogen for a hydrogen powered car.

Right?
If you have an SLR or mirrorless camera, don't yet own any prime lenses (a lens that doesn't zoom), and you want your photographs to get a lot better very quickly, go buy the 50mm f/1.8 lens your camera manufacturer makes and only use that for a couple months.
Most devs overlook an excellent resource for improving their coding and dev skills - learning from early versions of open source codebases.

Reading other peoples' code and understanding it can be incredibly useful in various contexts.

In the spirit of this, I tried my hand at understanding how Git's code works. It turns out that Git's original version - i.e. Git's initial commit - is written in the C programming language and consists ONLY of ~1,000 lines of code.

I found it so interesting and learned so much - and want to encourage other devs to do the same.

Jumping into a new codebase can be intimidating, so I put together a guidebook to help devs learn how Git's original code actually works - the Decoding Git Guidebook for Developers.
Ahhh, I know what you mean. Actually I removed it by mistake ...

Will have to add back I guess .

Thank you for the heads up.

This guy killed a person.
Yikes. Here's a totally contrary opinion from someone who has also been to AggSeg -

AggSeg is the VERY BEST place you can be in jail or prison. I spent almost a year in AggSeg and it is lovely.

- It's "single cell" meaning you don't have to live in close quarters with a random criminal.

- You don't have to socialize with random criminals during your free time, so you don't have to worry about the constant violence and rudeness you find in General Population.

Other than that, just read books, work out, and sleep. They bring you food 3 times a day. Honestly I would pay for this. There is nothing difficult or badass about it at all. Surviving in general population, that's actually difficult.

Everyone who wants to it sound like "THE HOLE" is just being dramatic. They are also playing into the corrections industry propaganda about the matter: The industry wants people to think of this setup as awful and barely-legal because the reality is that all inmates would prefer to be housed in a cell to themselves and be guaranteed to not encounter violence in the yard, but it would cost 2-3x as much to provide this type of housing to the entire population.

that is not possible. it's like asking a plant to thrive in toxic soil

Even CAT5e supports 10gbps in your typical house (you'll want CAT6 for longer distances though), and 10gbps is likely future proof for the next 25 years (which is crazy because CAT5e came out in 1999).
>The 4 years of russian meddling? It genuinly seems to have been widespread to me.

You mean the highly documented russian interference in our elections? Is that what you're talking about?

>And with the biden one, AFAICT it is not directly about stealing it, but rather enacting stuff that resulted in an unfair benefit to democrats, that seemed unlawful. (Mail in voting by default, for example)

I'm not going to delve too deep into the idiotic conspiracy theories behind the 'stop the steal', the reality is that there is zero evidence impropriety.

The idea that making it easier to vote by mail is a benefit to one party speaks volumes about what conservatives believe.

The fight against vote-by-mail has nothing to do with lawfullness. Conservatives focus on making it hard to vote/voter disenfranchisement because they know they are a minority party.

gitcafe is the name of a failed git hosting project in china. but it's been dead since 2016 (http://web.archive.org/web/20160121084706/https://gitcafe.co...) so it[s probably ok to reuse the name now.

Hmm, that's strange, because I keep hearing from several Navy sources that the F14s biggest problem indeed was the time they needed for servicing - the newer Hornets require significantly less time for equal maintenance operations (avionics, engine swaps) and also break less.

The time the F-14s spend sitting inside hangars (and requirements of trained techs to work on them) being useless was the primary driver of their retirement. Carrier hangar space and tech numbers are very limited after all.
I use the Feller one - https://www.feller.ch/de/Produktangebot/Kommunikations-und-N... - and it's indeed LC/APC.

My setup is much simpler - I get 25Gbit/s from init7 to Mikrotik CCR2004 https://mikrotik.com/product/ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs and then distribute it to 2x1Gbit access points, and use the other SFP28 port to power my PC (in another room) via the Intel E810 card.

I use the Feller fiber extension cable (20m) and bought some cable puller to pull the fiber via the plastic piping, and then finished it with the Feller outlet. Looks rather clean :) Photo: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWhHwD0WAAIb3Dt?format=jpg&name=...

PS: ccr2004_1g_12s_2xs is barely coping with 25Gb/s routing. It can do it, but for multiple TCP sessions, a single one chokes the router at something like 20Gbps (down), 15 Gbps (up).
3/8” flex isn’t surface raceway, it’s used for connecting a rigid (EMT/IMC/RMC) conduit system to a vibrating piece of equipment like a motor or transformer, among other things.

Wiremold 500 surface raceway is what I would recommend, it’s a basic surface raceway for electrical conductors or cables: https://www.legrand.us/wire-and-cable-management/raceway-and...

There are probably residential raceways that blend in better, but I’m not familiar with residential construction.

There are plenty of ways to get a cable from point A to point B inside of a wall, particularly if you have a single story home with an unfinished attic and basement. A spade drill bit, a fish tape, and a multitool/rotozip can get a cable pretty much anywhere if you can drill a hole into the wall cavity from above or below.
I suppose it's a manpower issue. I guess showers would only happen during the daytime, and outside of meal-times and supervised yard-time. I suppose they could get 3 prisoners per hour through the shower, and probably 40 hours per week shuffling them back and forth to showers. So a pair of guards would be fully occupied doing nothing but supervising showers for 120 inmates in solitary. These numbers my be wildly off, but not an order of magnitude off, and the manpower issue still stands.
The time to create assets is immense even for those who can draw.

Reading a bit about anhydonia may help.

It may sound strange but controlling artificial light exposure and really strict sleep (really darkness) hygiene has banished this feeling for me (and it's been nearly twenty years, now). True darkness at the same times every night, at least nine hours (seasonal variation to match sunset is ideal but I don't do that.)

Melatonin keeps your mitochondria healthy, and they are your energy-engines. If they aren't working well, you're going to be as listless and unmotivated as starving people are, for similar physiological reasons.
I use A Fuji body as well (xe3) and also find the 35mm f/2 my go to lens (52mm FF equivalent). Fujinon glass is excellent so if you want to walk around on a vacation instead of a wedding I’d definitely just grab the 18-55 zoom instead.
I hope the current era ends. Ukraine/Russia and China/Taiwan is resolved (relatively) peacefully in a way that maintains the norm of wars-of-conquest-don’t-work. And we get a resurgence of immigration and trade. I am heartened that a big cause of inflation, housing prices in the US (particularly California) may be addressed by recent reforms.

We need to be automating way more. We’re behind.
Some people prefer to put themselves at risk robbing someone for $100 instead to work hard for $100. I think the emphaty should be on people working hard for little money not really on risk takers that risk not only their life but their victim's life as well.

A simple robbery can quickly end-up more tragic. I would like that person to be put in jail until it develops the skills and behaviour fit for society. The time based sentence is wrong. There is no point to let someone free if that person gets even worse in prison. The sentence should include time based punishment and mandatory rehabilitation. What's the point of catching criminals if rehabilitation is not achieved? It is just vengence? It's not unusual to hear convicted criminals that two-three-five or more years in jail is worth the risk rather than taking a stupid job.
I don't know if it's the type of thing that can be classified as "good" or "bad". It's a stream of consciousness from a brilliant man suffering from immense personal pain and some form of undiagnosed mental illness, that I'm sure he never intended anyone to read. It's bizarre and fascinating, especially if you've read VALIS. It shows how his internal world was becoming molded with his own books, his life becoming one of his own stories, struggling with the flimsy nature of reality.

It's so long that it feels kind of futile to read it end to end, but I jump to a random page sometimes and read for awhile. There's a lot of repetition, but is fascinating.
I talked to one of their sales people once on the phone.

If it's for Mac, why does it have to be universal ?
> Death is final.

Years in prison can't be undone any more than death can.

Would you in principle call torturing someone for years on end but eventually letting them go free, a lesser crime than a quick death?

> State and federal governments have executed innocent people.

Very, very few in modern US history, thanks to years of appeals and reviews. Meanwhile, a tremendous number of innocent people serve a large number of years of their life in prison.
Is that the case with Super Hornets too?
I believe life in prison should exist. Some people simply don't fit in society. If you're caught the third time raping children, I don't think you'll ever be fit for society.

However, such extreme sentences should only be for Big Crimes. Threatening the democracy of a country, murdering politicians for extremist ideals, sending hitmen after judges, lawyers and police officers, mass murders for whatever reason, those kinds of crimes. Done by the people who society should be protected from. The death sentence is too extreme (though I'd support opting into euthanasia if we could ever find a way to prevent the prison system from torturing people into suicide) because the legal system in any country is flawed and people's innocence sometimes comes out decades later.

I don't know who this guy murdered and how to deserve life without parole, but I haven't heard of him and I can't find any news articles about him (assuming he's not using an alias) so I doubt he deserves this extreme a punishment. Even if he's in there for some kind of ritualistic baby murder, he doesn't deserve this. The captivity alone should be the punishment, the inability to have control over your life and do as you please, there is no reason to torture someone like this. The purpose of life in prison should be to protect society from evil or deranged people, not to torture people in some sick sort of entitlement.

Inhumane prisons bring out the very worst in society. People think prisoners have it so easy, being given free food and a place to live, but when they can't go to the office and need to stay home for a few months because of a deadly pandemic they go crazy. That alone should be reason enough not to listen to anyone who wants excessively large punishments because they're affected, people underestimate the effects of being locked up in the same place for an extended amount of time.
Your scope of investigation is much larger than the one I stated. One thing neither you or I know at this point, was it a 2 hour visit or is it one of Musk’s marathon “pull up the couches cuz we ain’t going home till we figure this out” sessions.
The best balanced overview of hydrogen's future I've seen has been the Hydrogen Science Coalition: https://h2sciencecoalition.com/principles/

Green hydrogen is desperately required to produce fertilizer cleanly, so it is a problem that must be solved. It also looks very promising in a couple of other industrial processes, like the production of steel.

And that's about all we can say with any degree of certainty.
I’ve done a lot of drywall work and I still avoid it whenever possible.

Doing basic drywall and paint isn’t rocket science, but getting a professional level fit and finish actually takes a lot of practice and experience. It’s also a completely different experience when you’re trying to match old specialty paints from a previous homeowner, blending repairs to match the wall texture, and other complexities that don’t show up in those basic YT videos. If you’re in a situation with untextured walls, known paint colors, simple repairs, and a forgiving eye, then it’s really not bad, but the complexities can add up quickly.

Even in the best cases, cutting into drywall all across the house to pull wire would be a project I’d try to avoid at all costs in an occupied home. The fast path still requires multiple days to go through all of the drying and re-application cycles to build up all the right layers, not to mention dust control to keep that fine dust out of everything you own.

There aren't endless resources. Actively reducing would take a lot of effort from a lot of smart people and I'd rather spend those big brains on improving math and reading skills amongst children, or cancer research, or diabetes research, or dementia research.
Yeah, they banned folks from lying about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic. You can be pro-covid or talk about how you don't want to get the vaccine. You just aren't allowed to spread conspiracy theories and lies.

You should definitely read “Discipline and Punish” by Foucault. Probably the most famous philosophical text about prison
Hydrogen is simple to produce if you have access to water and electricity. Gasoline is much harder to do, though.
It's not a design flaw, it's a design choice which was made without the expectation the airframe would be saddled with the awful TF-30s. A very valid design choice at that.

New user guide: How to organize your qubes
Unless you're unlucky enough to have a short life, you're going to live through several boom and bust cycles, so get used to it. I've personally lived through the collapse of the LTCM hedge fund and Russian economy while I was at Credit Suisse in 1998, the dot-com bust while I was at eToys.com in early 2000s ($6Bn market cap then delisted from Nasdaq and sold for $2MM to KB Kids), the housing bust of 2007/8, and now the current stock market collapse which is just getting started.

Every crisis presents opportunity, provided you're not just spending your life riding everyone else's coat tails. Busts are particularly good for entrepreneurs because we don't have to compete with all the stupid money out there feeding the swarming incompetents. A bust is a time for true innovators to rise from the ashes.
A Toyota Prius in good conditions gets better than 4 liters/100km mileage - so you only need an 80 liter, or 20 gallon, tank to make it a 2000km vehicle.
Fair enough. I think interest rates cannot add value; the stability that makes low rates possible is the thing that adds value. I’m no economist though
> going huge amounts of time without physically seeing people

That's how I've always lived. The problem is more that you're stuck in a small box with bad living conditions.
And then there’re people who commit robbery and serve time. Then not long after release they commit worse crime like murder, which could’ve been prevented if they’re still in jail. It’s not that simple man. Sure people can become better, or they stay the same, or they get even worse.
I have a couple of software patents (way to interrupt running optimised code, way to insert code dynamically into running optimised code) but I list them pretty close to the bottom of my portfolio because some people seriously don't like it and see them as a massive negative.

I'm midway through a deep dive on PEM fuel cells. My first takeaway is, damn, so many researchers have tried to crack this nut over the years. We've been working on this technology since the 1960s.

A cheaper and more durable membrane would be a huge improvement on paper. In practice, of course, there are a million variables that make fuel cells difficult to use as a general-purpose tool. From all the issues with fuel storage, cost, mechanical durability, degradation, to problems with pollutants and fouling, and so on...

As a side note: The Toyota Mirai is absolutely fascinating to me. A 1kW hydrogen fuel cell on the open market goes for around $5k, and yet somehow Toyota has managed to put a 136kW stack on the road for under 50 grand!

You can even find one on the used market for around 12 grand. It's almost worth buying them up to use as mobile hydrogen power plants.
If prisons send a message, who is that message directed at?

IMO prisons serve the functions of deterrence and rehabilitation - although not well - but they also serve to keep the public happy.

We put criminals in prison to sate the public’s need to see justice done. Even if we had the perfect rehabilitation regime that would just “cure” criminals, I think putting it into practice would be an uphill battle if it didn’t entail doing some kind of serious harm to the convicted.

People want revenge. Prison is a controlled method of providing that.
> No, the Several States are the Sovereigns. They ceded a small amount of authority to the Federal government in a limited Federal Constitution that outlines the powers of the Federal government. See the 10th Amendment.

Is this true? As far as I know the penal system has one and only one purpose: deterrence. 1) and 2) are a practically-oriented bonus. 3) is, to my knowledge, explicitly not a goal.

"Keeping score" was primarily a charge used by my mother against people who questioned her or charged her with wrong-doing. She used it to avoid responsibility and put the focus on the victim. This mixed with her brand of extreme egalitarianism into a general dictum "it is wrong to dislike people".

This is very poor advice. It's not wrong to dislike people! If you believe it is, then other people are wrong to dislike you. If being wrong is bad than you have no basis to like them, and they are not good people, not worthy of being friends with. Furthermore, that they are not being punished reflects on the failed state of authority (the school teachers and admins). Her advice was untested and didn't take into account basic human social or psychological needs.
