I wonder if the leak of the design was a way for them to gauge how the public would respond to a device like that and the sharp negative response was all they needed to hear to put it on the back shelf for a few more years.
What Even Is a “Mild” Recession?
I don't know if most households have enough use for lubricants to be able to consume a quantity equivalent to 80% of the volume of plastics they're disposing of. My door hinges and bike-chains can only be so smooth. Even if it was converting it into usable motor-oil (which I doubt it is) I don't think I could consume that much.

I suppose if it's usable for a kerosine type of lamp maybe, but is it pure enough to not present respiratory issues? And why would I need a kerosine lamp?

Amazon's decision to 'wind down' Amazon Smile is nauseating and pathetic. Their greed knows no bounds. I have raised a considerable amount for my charity through this programme, which is a small local non-profit organisation which takes in and rehomes abandoned and unwanted animals. It is these small, largely unknown, struggling charities that benefit so greatly from Amazon Smile. The larger charities don't need the funding in the same urgent way small charity organisations do. Every donation counts, however small.

I am disgusted and repelled that Amazon, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate with seemingly unlimited tax breaks, corporate benefits and exemptions, should abandon the one charitable and genuinely honourable programme it offers; notably that each customer can choose which charities to support, resulting in keeping afloat innumerable small and obscure non-profits, a majority which would otherwise remain unknown and overlooked. A majority of these immeasurably valuable organisations are totally reliant on contributions, grateful for every penny they receive in donations. It is deplorable that Amazon, an obscenely profitable and market-dominating consortium, should abandon what has been the only benevolent and honourable attributes of the company.

To justify this contemptable greed and grossness they have announced that Amazon will instead be donating to prominent chosen (by whom?) charities, no doubt largely high-profile ones that already receive considerable donations and publicity. They are utterly shameless.

'AmazonSmile represents a very small portion of the total charitable contributions made through our other programmes, which we estimate at more than £100 million in 2021.'

Isn't this the point? To reach charities that are overlooked and underfunded? I feel sick......
Being detail oriented is not at odds of big picture thinking. In fact people with only the big picture can cause a lot of wasted cycles as there's not a clear translation to implementation.

I think better terms than big picture people are ones that think abstractly, conceptually, or analytically. These are the folks who are good 'at naming things'. That means they understood both the business aspect of what areas to separate and iterate upon, as well as isolating technical factors that minimize code quantity and maximize flexibility. If they can do this with a minimal amount of abstract machinery/metaprogramming, that's golden.
Maybe you missed the following, important part:

Essentially, yes. The instructions / calculations on the building page are all oriented towards building one for the purposes of space heating.

My experience in math unfortunately is that code is just about unpublishable. I'd love to be able to just have relevant code in a paper, but editors will reject it.

They'll also reject you for having too much discussion and explanation. Now that almost all "papers" are PDFs and we don't have to worry about printing costs, I worry that the expected brevity in math is just elitism. Sure, if you're one of the six experts in the sub sub subfield the paper concerns itself with, the brevity is welcome, but for everyone else...

A Damning US Report Lays Bare Amazon’s Worker Injury Crisis
> Pandoc is Haskell so it compiles to a fairly efficient binary.

This is nebulous. Haskell's compiled binaries are not ideal, for a number of reasons.[^1] GHC does very little to optimise for many typical metrics of "efficient". The binaries it produces are enormous because it (unavoidably) bundles the runtime along with the program itself, and there is a lot of empty space in the binaries. Shrinking them can improve startup times significantly especially on spinning rust drives.

That said, Haskell programs are at least _compiled_, and they do result in binaries which, if well written, can result in running times comparable to (or, sometimes, shorter than) your average hand-rolled C code that achieves the same goals.

Of course, none of this casts any shadow on the fact that Pandoc is, indeed, an excellently engineered piece of software that stands as a testament to the value of Haskell for real-world business logic and problem solving.

[^1]: This problem is fairly well-understood in the Haskell community: https://dixonary.co.uk/small
These always make for fun news articles but that's because these situations are rare.

Again, nobody, anywhere that I'm aware of, is sitting around insisting for imperial units as a matter of principle. We just don't care. We use and learn metric where we use it (all the sciences, chemistry, physics, etc in American schools are taught in metric). And we use imperial where we use it, mostly in daily life. And it's perfectly fine.

For example, I personally prefer grams (more because of weight, but still preferred to ounces) to cups (volume) in recipes because it removes density as a variable (a packed cup of flour vs a loose cup of flour)
One very local anecdote that seems to contradict this: my local Trader Joe’s is nearly always out of Impossible burgers. On many occasions, I have stood in line at the shelf where they are kept, waiting for the person who is unboxing them and supposed to be stocking shelves but basically just handing directly to customers. Maybe not representative of the larger marketplace but at least in that store they are the proverbial hotcakes.
On the word “consider”:
A friend of mine tells a story about his dad and his appreciation for the practicality of a brick house.

Someone once asked him “Would you ever consider putting any other siding on your house besides brick?”

His answer: “I’d consider it. And then I’d brick it.”

Unlike the NOTAM outage, a METAR outage will and should actually affect flights. Without weather at your destination it becomes impossible to know if it’s safe to land there. The forecasts (TAF) are actually used more in flight planning, but actual weather is very valuable while enroute, when not close enough to hear weather over the radio from the destination airport.
I think it depends on the location.

My car was stolen about 15 years ago in Seattle. The block I lived on at the time was a popular place for car thieves to both pick up and drop off cars.[1] When it was recovered, there were a bunch of stolen credit/debit cards and other potential evidence inside.

The officer who took the report said I could try calling the detectives who were responsible for that kind of investigation, but he didn't think it would go anywhere, because either the mayor or the chief of police (I don't remember which) had told them to deprioritize car thefts. Sure enough, calls to that line went straight to voicemail, and I couldn't even get a call back telling me they weren't interested.

[1] The day I discovered my car was stolen, there was a silver Civic parked across from it in the spot where a neighbour usually parked her silver Civic. That day, it was not hers. It was a nearly-identical silver Civic that the car thieves had ditched before stealing my car.

rqlite[1] author here. It's very interesting see this. Not sure whether it can bring more functionality to rqlite, but it's definitely cool to see the SQLite database evolve with more client-server applications in mind.

I will say that one misconception people often have about rqlite is that it's a drop-in replacement for SQLite. You see that a bit even in the comments section here. That was never its goal. Its goal is a lightweight and super-simple to use distributed relational database. Using SQLite as the database engine was the perfect way to meet that requirement.

If I'm understanding this correctly, with your Lisp IDE you could have an image sub-editor which may expose functions for image modification (eg. cropping), which could be called from the parent-editor. Is this accurate?

Also, what is it about Lisp specifically that makes it suitable for this undertaking?

There's already way more content being produced out there (some of which is done altruistically without any expectation of income) than there is demand for it that making even more of it may not be as valuable as you think.
The rsync paper https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/15-749/READINGS/required/c... is better than me at explaining this, but the rolling hash is the key to solving this misalignment problem that you describe. Essentially, using the rolling hash enables you to detect when a block as been misaligned (bytes added at the beginning of the file for example). There's no way to cause expensive resyncs in this case since it rolls over every byte in the file and reuses blocks on any alignment, even with data inserted in between.
Why? It feels better on the right, imo. It’s more natural, I see what it is, and then decide at the end to select or deselect. If it’s on the left, I now have to return to the beginning of the word. It’s not very natural.

Which it is, by definition?
AMD drivers are not more stable. They are however open-source and included in the kernel, which has both advantages and disadvantages:

- AMD has better support for the "blessed" Linux 3D stack. This manifests itself as more mature support in Wayland compositors for example, which is still rockier with nvidia.

- With AMD you need to care about running recent kernels, because improvements to the drivers are tied to the kernel, as is support for newly released cards. With nvidia it doesn't matter - I can run a stable distro like Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and still use the latest driver.

- Nvidia support for switching between discrete and integrated graphics in laptops used to be crap. I'm not sure if it's still the case as I don't follow this closely, but given historical record, it's likely still crap.

- Nvidia driver quality is historically better than AMD (across the board, not just in Linux). If gaming is your primary use, things are still more likely to "just work" on nvidia than AMD, although AMD will usually fix problems eventually.

Yes and No.

I have "Considered" stealing from my employer several times. When I was 15 I was a refugee and worked in a Radio-Shack-like store in Croatia. We built PCs in back and sold them in the front. The front and back were separated by a curtain, and highest value items (ram sticks) happened to be stashed on the shelf on the side of the entrance. I realized it would take literally 5 seconds for a customer to reach through the curtain and grab them. That got me thinking on whether as an insider I would have higher or lower risk than a random customer. How could I reduce the risk? What's a simple, non-overly-elaborate method that would let me accomplish this? So I did spend some time considering this problem space (and then next day suggested to my boss to move the RAM further inside:)

Similarly with suicide. Everybody's life is hard and has ups and downs. I've "considered" suicide in several different ways many times in my life, sometimes at "obvious" times of hardship, otherwise at simply slow, boring times. I'm largely a cheerful optimistic person FWIW, but I find everything interesting even fascinating, including that particular life (ending) choice.

Talking to couple of my closest oldest friends, who are most similar to me, they have few mental taboos. But talking to most other people, at least as far as they're willing to be honest with me and/or themselves, they have never considered SO MANY topics, virtually regardless of how light or heavy we define the word.

It was running M-Link from Isode: https://www.isode.com/ . Their focus and expertise is mostly military and government deployments, rather than public IM services. We are extremely grateful that they offered to sponsor the service with both M-Link and hardware back when we really needed it, and it has been rock solid for many years.

But we're looking forward to the flexibility we'll have with Prosody to make some changes to the service and add some features we've been missing that are understandably not on Isode's roadmap. For example, we've had registration closed for many years, but we're considering experimenting with invitation-based registration: https://blog.prosody.im/great-invitations/
They care when people owe them money, the same way you care when people owe you money. They prefer not to have to bother to send someone to your house because even though you'll be the one paying for the extra costs, it takes time and effort spent better on other things.

I'm sure the "taxation is theft" crazies will have some legal fanfiction about how the government can't just take your money if you only use cash but in practice you're only getting yourself into trouble for no good reason if you try to commit tax fraud.

I will say the promise of "improved concurrency" is very interesting to me. If nothing else, I would definitely pull that into rqlite (probably as an option). That said, working with Raft log has always been the real bottleneck, not SQLite.

I see this a lot here in Germany (I'm an immigrant) - people buying vegan sausage, vegan ham, etc. I prefer to just eat "normal" vegetarian food (I don't even like real ham!) but meat is so central to traditional German cuisine and people here want the kind of (what they consider) staple food that they're willing to eat fake meat.
Instead, the companies want people willing to lie on forms.

I've needed these capabilities often while using awk for converting messy logs/error outputs into tables/commands.

Nowadays I like the nushell approach to the composition:

which of course relies on the same regex library (hattip).

I'm not sure that it'll bring a lot of sites back to or keep them on WP, but it'll be great for testing. Much of it is always integration testing with WP because of how filters and actions work your code is rarely ever isolated, SQLite will make that much easier and faster.

It's also really not a big switch for the most part. I'm not aware of that many MySQL-specific things happening in WP. Things like fulltext indexes aren't in core, so it's really just using a different driver to get the basics working. I'm sure it would break a lot of plugins, but that's fine, they have platform requirements anyhow, adding "does work with sqlite" isn't a huge step and can likely be automated to a high degree (if the plugin never uses wpdb->query, ->get_results etc, it's compatible).
This is an issue that is pretty common when auto generating files.

For instance when generating receipt PDF it could feel natural to store them in folders by account ID. Except there will be a bunch of accounts generating 20 or 30 receipts a day, which isn't much on the face of it. But within months it becomes a pain to list receipts across accounts, within a year or two even individual account receipts become a nightmare to list, and fixing the situation requires a few tricks to avoid all the tools that assume directory listing cost nothing.
If we pump it back into the oil fields (and stop using oil!) then it is essentially a carbon credit. The cost of doing that would be an excellent basis for the cost of a carbon credit.
