That's perfectly fine, because microservices excel in that scenario: just hand over the keys to the repo and the pipelines, and you're done.
Elsevier is far from the only offender in the academic publishing space. This price gouging is rampant, and it affects everyone you could call a "customer." The only variable is who gets stuck with the bill.

When I was in grad school, I easily went through 1000+ articles via my institution's library, most of which were dead ends. My school even had to drop the subscription of a journal I was actively using because the price was unaffordable.

For unaffiliated readers, such as those doing industry R&D or individuals researching a medical condition, there are no circumstances under which $30-$50 price per article is affordable, let alone justifiable. This is more expensive than many books, and it's just to read a 10-page PDF which may or may not even provide sufficient context to answer the reader's question. Sci-hub is a literal life-saver for this audience.

"Open access" alleviates the price problem for the reader, but just pushes another unaffordable burden onto the researcher. My group could not afford the multi-thousand dollar "processing charge," and those that could were paying for it with taxpayer money anyway.

So no matter what, someone is getting gouged, be it the reader, the University, the PI, or the public. Prices need to come down by at least an order of magnitude before I would even consider the for-profit academic publishing industry to be anything other than a predatory anachronism.

Oh I do understand the moral of the story. But to me it's not a very practical lesson. Perhaps the software developers here at HN could realistically coast in life, but to the vast majority of people who want 2 kids (and a good education for them), want to travel, want to own a home, have enough money to hire a good lawyer in case someone screws them over or are falsely accused of a crime, it's not really realistic to work just enough to get by and relax with free time.
Greenfield projects are the best. Second best part is scaling them up or down, changing, improving. It's like having a kid except I don't get even mildly attached to the code itself.

Anyways, the answer is simply that _UBI IS NOT MEANS TESTED_ so working won't take any of it away, just give you more money. Even if UBI was on par with your salary we'd be talking doubling your income. If that's somehow not enough the market will have to value those jobs higher until there is equilibrium.
That's mostly because you can't run a big automotive software project and not say that, not because it's in any way doing direct work towards that goal.
It's kind of the way of the world now, not just Google. I've accumulated a ton of stuff that just doesn't work anymore or works in a crippled local-only mode because the service doesn't exist anymore or drivers/software stopped getting updates. What's really sad is buying something, having a little bit of fun with it, then going back to it a year or two later and finding out it's a brick now. Or just buying something "new" and finding out it was born into the grave.
Sure, I had a project canceled after I completed it. Not a single user ever saw it. I still got paid the same and I never had to maintain that code or fix any bugs, and I got to keep the knowledge I learned. Probably not great for career development to have this happen repeatedly but it was pretty great the one time it happened to me.

It's more about consensus driven decision making and waiting to make a decision until all information is present : risk avoidance behaviour. You mix these two and it's a great recipe for disaster.
It kind of is black and white, from technology point of view.

You, the website owner, can control what your server does in response to HTTP requests a client makes. You control what data is sent, and under what conditions you'll send that data (ie: presence of a valid session cookie, correct username/password, cryptographly signed request, etc).

I, the user owning a computer, get to control what my computer does. I run a web browser, and can choose what happens in response to data your site sends me via HTTP.

Most notably, your site can send some javascript, but my computer doesn't have to run it. My computer can also selectively block what it does, including limiting its access to initiate web requests to other sites.

Anything beyond this is artificial, such as laws like DMCA or CFAA.

I'd not complain even about a 100% closed modem, if my data would be en/decrypted before entering and after exiting from it, so that all it sees is noise, and it has no way of interfering with the hosting main OS.

Prompted by this post I tried language reactor and have a few notes:

Can you really only sign in with google?

I tried the phrase thingy. I don’t get it. It asks me about a word and shows me a sentence and a translation of the sentence. What’s the point here? Shouldn’t the translation be hidden so I have a chance to translate it myself?

There’s a lot of buttons I can click and I don’t get what they do. Shouldn’t I just choose “I understood”, “I didn’t understand” and perhaps a “don’t show this one again”?

How do I report that a sentence doesn’t have the word that the app suggests I should learn?

How do I report typos in sentences?
By default in Emacs, `M-x` is analogous to Ctrl+Shift+p. Most users like a vertical completion candidate interface for it, such as the `vertico.el` package (among very very many other options). You actually have a ton of control over how this interface works, between `completion-styles` (candidate filtering algorithms, which themselves can be sorted in a hierarchy or even changed dynamically while the menu is open), and various packages like `marginalia` to get richer annotations. You can even dock it somewhere else on the screen using the `posframe.el` package.

Vertico and Selectrum are two modern popular options, Ivy and Helm are two older ones, and there are very creative ones like Raven (https://github.com/chameco/raven) or MCT (https://protesilaos.com/emacs/mct).

Emacs comes with `cua-mode`, which provides some more modern conventions like `C-s` to save, `C-o` to open files, etc., however most users find that the default system does make sense once you learn it. `C-c`, `C-u`, and `C-x` prefixes have very consistent meanings by default across all major modes, and by convention across basically all elisp packages.

I don't use QWERTY, so I find the rebinder package very useful (https://github.com/darkstego/rebinder.el), but I think it can improve the ergonomics of those prefixes across any keyboard layout. My equivalents to `C-x` and `C-u` are on my home-row. I also use home-row mods (https://precondition.github.io/home-row-mods) which make the feel of interacting with Emacs very smooth.

Keybinding discovery is also very easy between the `C-h` family, The `which-key.el` package, and the `helpful.el` package. The `M-x` menu also shows keybindings, even by default.

What's really nice about Emacs is that changing keybindings is very easy, and between hooks, advices, and modes, the keybindings and their behavior are incredibly flexible.

> Also, does ccache work with MSVC?

Technically it works, but it requires some work. You need to pass off ccache's executable as the target compiler, and you need to configure the settings in all vsproj files to allow calls to the compiler to be cacheable, like disabling compilation batching.

Using cmake to generate make/ninja projects and use compilers other than msvc is far simpler and straight-forward: set two cmake vars and you're done.

I never understood why people put smart speakers in their showers. Why is a simple and cheap Bluetooth speaker not good enough? You can get them in any size and shape and sound quality and they (can) work with your phone's built-in "smart" assistant. I never use that though because when I'm in the shower all I want to do is listen to music.

Here's my routine, for reference:

1. Turn on the speaker (which is hanging on my tile shower wall via an Ikea suction cup hook).
2. Open Spotify on my phone and start a playlist and adjust the volume if necessary (it remembers the volume I last set for this particular Bluetooth speaker so I rarely have to touch that).
3. Take a shower (singing and dancing of course!)
4. Turn off the speaker.
5. Leave the bathroom with my phone.

It works fantastically well. If a song comes on I don't like I can just push the button on the speaker to go to the next track. I can even answer phone calls on it if I want (which I never do).
The very first line of the "Building" page states:

> The DIY-Thermocam V3 Kit from GroupGets contains all required parts to build the device:

One has to scroll below the image to see a suggestion that the FLIR sensor and breakout board are not included in the kit.

The groupgets page is more clear, but even there one has to scroll to very far down before one finds:

> The DIY-Thermocam V3 self-assembly KIT contains all required components excluding the FLIR Lepton 2.5/3.5 and the Lepton Breakout Board V2.

When I started reading the "Building" page, my interpretation of "all required parts to build the device" is that all (meaning every last one) parts necessary are contained in the kit. Finding the wording just after the large photo of "in case you do not already have ..." seemed odd, as it was hinting at "all" not really meaning "all", but not making such meaning clear. Only the groupgets page clarified that "all" did not in fact mean all, and even then took some scrolling to find that clarification.

I suggest you reword the first sentence of the "Building" page to read:

> The DIY-Thermocam V3 Kit from GroupGets contains all required parts excluding the FLIR Lepton 2.5/3.5 and the Lepton Breakout Board V2 to build the device:

Agreed. See this across all of Google products.

It's amazing to me that Google Assistant was more useful when it came out than it is today. Just the past few days I've been dealing with this bug where I can't even set an alarm through it.

Google Photos is another one: content-based search used to work really well, but totally unreliable today.
If FB did this then there would be an outcry over privacy issues.
I am interested in examples of similar legal systems working as expected/desired.

Define a small minority? 60% of republicans don't trust elections [1].

> Welcome to Blackstone's formulation. It is honestly a lot better that 100 guilty people go free than that 1 innocent gets punished. Yes, that means that some guilty people go free, but maybe you should be okay with that because the other side has a very different idea of who ought to be in jail than your side does, and the presumption of innocence keeps everyone out of jail.

I was not saying Presumption of Innocence is a bad thing. Rather, that it's non-existent with jury trials. Having people determine your innocence based on "the cut of your gib" is incompatible with the current political climate.

> This narrative of "stolen" when both parties technically played by the rules (albeit playing dirty) is a big part of how third-world countries end up devolving into dictatorships - One side thinks that someone stole something that was rightly theirs, and changes the rules to make them more "fair" (in terms of getting what they want). In fact, in some of these countries, court packing is almost a meme: one side gets power and doubles the size of the courts to take control (since "they stole seats from us"), then the other side gets power and doubles them again in retaliation, and this continues until the court doesn't function at all.

You were originally arguing American democracy isn't that fragile. This is exactly why I say it is fragile.

> Thinking of the 2015 nomination of Garland, that was pretty dirty of Mitch McConnell, and I hope he pays for it by losing some of his party's appointees. If you are referring to the other two Trump appointees as stolen, no. He won the 2016 election (see the above comment on trusted elections) - those seats were up to him to appoint.

The reason Trump was in a position to appoint a third judge is because Ruth Bader Ginsberg was afraid to resign, given what happened to Gorsuch. And then she died. And then they filled her seat immediately after lying about "A president has never confirmed a judge in their last year of office." These are two stolen seats. This has nothing to do with Mitch, this is the entire Republican party.

In general, I wouldn't assume everyone with non-centrist ideas is somehow drinking kool-aid. Protecting the status quo is, itself, a massive bias. And this particular line is puzzling

> the other side should win about half the time in a healthy democracy.

What other side? Can a functioning democracy have only two sides? I would think a functioning democracy is one where the people's interests are represented. As the country grows more left year over year, should republicans still win half the time?

You might think of people passionate about their political agendas as unenlightened people rooting for politicians that don't care about them to begin with, but consider that saying "Both sides are the same and people should be happy with gridlock because change is scary" is equally ridiculous to others
This is for faster speeds supported by newer/future phones. The SE 2021 (and iPhones in general) aren't that fast when compared to some alternatives that charge much larger batteries in 10-30 minutes. My phone (not Apple) goes up to 60W, for example.

The speculation is that Apple will only allow their chargers or chargers they approve (and get paid for it) to charge future iPhones faster. This is the EU telling them not to do it. USB-PD is a standard (already used by Apple on laptops) and can do up to 240W. No need for proprietary chargers.

Why would Apple do this? Money.
What also helped me a lot is to deactivate notifications of every communication channel ( email, messenger even the phone )

If notifications are turned on, it feels like other people have control over my mental state, because if an incoming email makes a ping it means that the person that just sent me a message caused my focus to shift in the work I am currently doing.
Even if it feels minimal this compounds quite a lot over the course of a day.
I found you could use a steam deck + dock to output to a TV then use a cheap wireless keyboard such as a Rii to control the setup from your couch. Then you can use the language reactor plugin in chrome to watch Netflix on your tv! You can substitute the steam deck and dock for any pc + hdmi out.
If you can have one water/dust proof port you can have two.

How about making phones thicker again? More place for a battery, less risk of the next bend gate.

That's a bogus debate because there are more than enough possibilities.
I make sugar free jerky, and it is better or about the same as store bought jerky. It's about 20 minutes of total work for roughly two pounds, spread out over 8-12 hours of marinating and drying.
