I think you're overstating it as you're not sure what it takes to maintain them, but they're definitely self-serviceable and affordably as well, it should all be in the service manual you got with your bike.

I would personally say that a fluid bleeder and seal picks/hooks are pretty universal tools, handy to have around. Hydraulics have been around for decades too, it's a very ubiquitous technology.

Even for crimping lines you can get pretty affordable tools, but I will concede that crimping new hydraulic lines is probably not that common of a task around the house.
FGJKQW makes sense because almost all the rest of the alphabet was used for the instruction set (one letter per instruction) so these were left over.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why ORDVAC use KSNJFL. If you Google around you'll find the claim that this was because in figure shift mode the input teletype produced 01010 to 01111 in binary on the tape for those letters. Except, I can't find a 5 level code that actually conforms to that. It's certainly not Baudot as some claim. And if you look at the manual the claim about figure shift isn't even true for the actual code used. https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/items/55048
Because that's how it works? master is the main branch, origin is a remote computer that holds a copy of your repository (which you don't have to use, git works fine locally if you don't need to share your work with others), HEAD is just pointer to the commit you're at currently.
I wonder how much of mainstream browser code consists of layers of legacy over legacy over legacy which complicates it much more than needed.
Agreed. I don’t know why counting is so slow in the US. If you have resources to hold an election, you have resources to make sure that ballot counting is done in a reasonable time

Convincing yourself that your work is the only hobby you need and doing literally nothing else without regard for proper sleep or food for years nonstop is a pretty quick path to burnout. I used to think about nothing but my projects every waking moment, I'd very often skip sleep just to keep working on them and would frequently not eat anything all day because it was too much of a distraction to go buy something from the cafeteria.

These days while I still enjoy spending a lot of time working (kinda unavoidable in a PhD tbh), I make sure to leave some time for hobbies unrelated to work, which has improved my health significantly.

Don’t you normally need an undergrad to start a PhD in the US as well?

In the UK an undergrad is 3 years in most cases, then 3 years for a PhD, so 6 years total.

Some institutions will technically admit you for a PhD with no prior degree at all, but nobody does this in practice.

>The mistake is claiming that the path it ended up choosing, it chose because of something the West did or didn't do.

This isn't a mistake either. Putin was open towards pursuing a deeper partnership with the west in the early 2000s.

He asked to join NATO (as equals) and rather than leaping on the opportunity NATO told him to join the back of the queue.

In subsequent years we launched an unprovoked invasion of Iraq and "upgraded" a UN resolution from protecting civilians to planting a bayonet in Khafaffi's rectum. It was a little hard not to view us as a dangerous and unpredictable threat, and a little hard not to take what happened to Khadaffi personally.

This was all made worse by the actions of the National Endowment for "Democracy" who essentially prosecute a more effective mirror image of the type of election meddling Putin attempted in America, albeit along Russia's border (& once in Kaliningrad in the 90s). This has continued unabated since the 90s - fomenting and fostering ethnic/cultural divisions everywhere it can along Russia's exposed borders that mirror the one we see in America today.
Agreed, the cheaper the service the more efficient economy they got.
Regarding Zhang's age: Most Fields medalists these days are very close to exceeding 40 years. Wiles himself just a special silver medal, because of that - which I think is outrageous age discrimination. Mind you he didn't get the silver medal because his results were a bit less spectacular than those of the winners, but rather they were so groundbreaking he couldn't be ignored, but because he was just over 40 they had to downgrade thr medal to a silver one (I guess in order to not be in conflict with the rules that
the organization that awards the Fields medal has).

This is part of a general trend. As the world population ages, the number of people being able to achieve world-class performance later in life increases.
One can see this spectacularly in sports, where older and older people win medals (for example:
https://www.npr.org/2022/02/12/1080338798/older-athletes-bre... )

The Fields committee would probably do good updating their statutes, in order to not be so out of step with the times...

>If you need to go to some government office to do so, odds are in a rural area you’ll be travelling a greater distance to get to it, taking up more time and money, requiring more time off work, etc

A rural office often is overstaffed for the population compared to an urban one, so while it may take a bit longer to drive there you'll spend less time at the DMV. Plus, traveling thirty miles in a rural setting can be quicker than ten in an urban one.

Basically I don't think this is a meaningful difference, and it has nothing to do with why some Republicans are against a required free ID.

One very common and simple use case is looking for counter examples. If your theory states for example that "all Matrices with property X also have property Y" then it is quick and easy to generate a whole bunch of matrices with property X and check that they all have property Y. Of course that doesn't actually prove anything, but it can be used to disprove a statement and save you a bunch of time chasing down a dead end.

Anger grows in Russia over death toll from war
> The key is figuring out what matters and what doesn't (to you) and only thinking about what does

truth is nothing matters and everything matters.

Say you are a teenage girl, you see yourself in the mirror, you don't like your body, you think you're fat.

You see other "fat" girls on reddit that receive a lot of praise for displaying themselves half naked.

your looks are very important to you, you think about it constantly and it depresses you.

one day you post a picture on this reddit thing, your face is hidden, it's hard to recognize the place where it was take, but you wanna try'n see what happens.

it works, men (and some women) like your picture, they put a like on it, they compliment your looks, you now feel better about yourself.

so you post more and more of them, everyone more audacious than the one before.

now what's important to you is: how can I be more visible, more visibility = more self esteem!

you open on OF and now what's important is "how can I promote it?".

not long after what's important becomes: how can I make money out of it?

and now you're in trouble, because that's your job and you didn't even know you wanted it and are not sure if it's the right thing to do, but you do it anyway, once you set things in motion, inertia becomes a b*tch.

---

It's an hyperbole, I know, but it's the small things that start the engine.

If people only thought about what actually matters it would be: food, water, shelter.

If I never thought "is there another option?" when I was much younger about clubs to go to in my hometown, I would never have discovered the underground music scene lurking in the shadows that has then become a big part of my life and it's now so important to me.

And I was one who did not even cared so much about music and went straight to "the default choice" about it.

> E.g if you never buy unhealthy snacks, you'll never have unhealthy snacks at home,

1 - there's no such thing as healthy snacks (if we are talking about snacks the product and not "a small amount of food eaten between meals")

2 - it means that at one point you though "is there another option?" about snacks, because the default option is not healthy at all, especially in the US, proving that "It doesn’t have to be about big decisions"
I grew up in Russia in the 90s. The country was corrupt as hell under Yeltsin, but it was still a democracy, and there were different parties with genuinely different platforms then. Yeltsin couldn't just choose his successor - he had to actually sell him to the public. And mass media wasn't all controlled by the state, so there was plenty of very sharp criticism of Putin as he was still working his way to the top. At the end of the day, the people still willingly voted for "the strong hand", and so, here we are.
Given the title I was very surprised to not have decision fatigue mentionend even once.
Decision fatigue is the well studied and obvious answer to why we don't like to choose ALL THE TIME.

Don't worry -- you probably wouldn't "want this kind of life" when you're a corporate drone either.
If we really want to bring self-maintenance back we're going to have to have more gumption than this, and perhaps a special tool every now and then.

The issue we're fighting isn't the battle against hard maintenance vs easy maintenance, it's against manufacturers deliberately making products that are expendable and not intended to be maintained. Hydraulic brakes are perfectly maintainable, you can even rebuild the whole system at home with a $6 pair of seal picks and a $12 seal kit, don't even need to be OEM seals.

That's more like sharing a post and including its source. In twitter terms: retweeting.

What I intend with the "/following" endpoint example is to say: "Here are some sources that I think publish worthwile content."

Not: "Here is an interesting individual post, which I got from $source."
Rather than addressing the content of the article, you are just dismissing the entire thing because it is associated with people you don't like. Republicans do this same thing with information that comes from Democrat sources. If we as a country continue to have this mindset, we are completely screwed.

For the record, I am not a Republican and I am not a Democrat.

I understand.

Most repos have a "./pack" script that correctly builds all assets.
You can then place them as "v0.0.0" (as _v0-0-0) in the updates directory. If you put Portmaster into dev mode (--devmode) it will load the v0.0.0 versions first. You might want to also disable automatic updates - or ignore the automatically downloaded versions.

Compiling for Windows without a cert works, but the OS will refuse to load the driver. You'd need to switch to a special Windows developer mode and sign it with a local certificate.

As I said, this is an area where we need to improve.

I think about this often. Having studied mathematics, it's a field where there is a huge range of talents, even at 18 (and younger). There are genuinely gifted people who stride ahead, but the sad reality is that even at top institutions most of the undergraduate cohort will be merely averagely clever people who have received great (often private) tuition.

In a field where finding every genius really matters because of the difficulty of expanding the frontiers it's heartbreaking to realise most just never get the opportunity of good mathematical education in the first place.

> Twitter needs to make money, probably even be profitable, in order to not pose a rise to Musk’s other ventures.

Twitter needs to earn a profit, sure. That has always been true though. One way to make the company profitable is to increase revenue, which the $8/month blue check fee aims to do. The other way to make the company profitable is to cut overhead, which the mass layoffs aim to do.

I still don't get the concern trolling about data mining Twitter data: it's been done since the platform began.

The only unethical thing about the original article is selling location and movement data that is individually trackable, which is what this article is talking about from years ago when they worked at Twitter, which upper management was in favor of until Dorsey allegedly stepped in to halt.

Nevermind that there are other social media apps likely doing this already and selling better, more fine-grained data than Twitter can. Twitter is not as personal or intimate as other social media apps are with regards to insight into personal, private data. Everything shared on Twitter is understood to be public. They don't have access to private TikTok videos, 'destructible' Snapchat messages, text message data between couples, personal health search engine queries, etc.

Companies such as Facebook didn't need to sell super private mineable data to data mining firms to manipulate public opinion on election day, they were maximally profitable when they did, but they did it anyway. Twitter didn't need to shadow or outright ban doctors and politicians, or inject state-sponsored context alignment messaging (propaganda) into the newsfeed that disagreed with their internal company political alignment, but they did it anyways.

Nothing at this point, could be worse than the status quo for social media companies.
Yeah that definitely falls in the "surfing the internet" category, unless I'm missing a link to a bare list of sources he follows, so I don't have to write a parser.
