Ballpoint pens require pressure to melt the ink paste to apply it to the page. For those with arthritis, this can be a problem. Fountain pens apply liquid ink to the page through capillary action, meaning the nib merely needs to touch the paper for ink to be left there. Advantage: fountain pen.

In order to apply the pressure, the writing angle of a ballpoint pen to paper must also be much higher. This is less ergonomic in general. Advantage: fountain pen.

If you are pressing a fountain pen into the page, you are using it incorrectly. It's meant to glide across the page. Because it glides, and you can use it at a more ergonomic angle, without pressing, you can relax your hand. This means you can write for longer. Advantage: fountain pen.

Fountain pens are not disposable, you refill them with ink, and if you use a converter, or an integral filling system (vacuum, lever and sac, piston, eye-dropper) you are not discarding any kind of plastic pieces to clutter the environment. Advantage: fountain pen.

With the same fountain pen, you gain the use of hundreds of different inks across the entire spectrum. Inks that sheen, inks that shade, inks with shimmer, perfumed inks, even invisible inks! Advantage: fountain pen.

Ballpoint advantages: cheap, useful for carbon forms, work for super-cheap paper, and yes, they work in zero-G when pressurized.

Roller ball and gel pens are superior to ballpoints. But fountain pens have them beat, especially for people with RSI or arthritis issues. As for nib sweet spots, Lamy Safari's can write from most rotations just fine, and their grip will help you orient the nib properly.

You probably also haven't used quick-drying inks. They often don't require any sort of blotting, though that depends on paper "sizing" (the coating on the paper).
AFAIK they own "only" 49% of OpenAI.
They don't have a choice, it's AI or Metaverse at their level.

Here McCarthy employs again to great effect his device of a narrator that knows and will tell of all physical events past and future. The narrator however does not know, though will speculate upon, thoughts of the characters:

... with them now rode a boy named Sloat who had been left sick to die in this place by one of the gold trains bound for the coast weeks earlier. ... He rode near the head of the column and he must have counted himself well out of that place but if he gave thanks to any god at all it was ill-timed for the country was not done with him.
My sense (guess) is that you, like most people, learned programming from the outset using the procedural/imperative style. After this way of thinking and approaching problems became firmly ingrained, you then experienced FP as more abstract or difficult to wrap your brain around. But I don't think this reflects on anything innate to FP. FP is, at its core, far FAR simpler than procedural/imperative/whatever-you-want-to-call-it programming. It requires high school math, if that. Equational reasoning, substitution, etc. The basic concepts get you extremely far and are, in their essence, incredibly simple and straightforward and far less foreign to a newcomer than any of the complicated stuff most people are introduced to programming with. That's one guess. The other is that you don't have a great sense of what FP actually is and most of how you think about it comes from HN conversations or blog posts about parser combinators and monads, etc. To that I would say two things: 1) those concepts AREN'T actually that complicated, they are built upon some very basic concepts, but a firm grasp of them is required. They are taking a few basic concepts and exploiting their usefulness to the nth degree and 2) some of the stuff you see or read that is, I'll admit partially, or can be quite complicated does not represent what FP is at its core and is instead a few nerds who really really enjoy pushing the limits of FP and its style of reasoning. I don't mean this derogatorily, it's great that people are doing that. But a deep knowledge of those more advanced concepts isn't essential to FP which, I argue, is incredibly simple and, indeed, far simpler than the other dominant style of programming. None of this is to say that I think a newcomer who is job-minded should start with FP. Perhaps they shouldn't. I'm only addressing what I think might be a misperception of what FP is or how complicated or abstract it is.

This is something I've been investigating. If one had a gateway that spoke Reddit's API, the apps wouldn't even really have to pivot, just change the API base URL.

And in theory not even that. As long as the traffic can be redirected to a different server it should still work. In practice, however, at least Apollo has some server-side components so it wouldn't be totally plug-and-play without developer support.

Sadly, I'm not sure how to get in touch with the developers/users who may be interested.

(I've also heard that someone's working on a Reddit/Lemmy gateway, but I don't know who they are or how far they've gotten.)
Would you apply the same logic then to Winston Churchill, the British monarchy and its government? Under the guise of "civilizing natives", they were responsible for exterminating and murdering large sections of the population across Ireland, Africa, India, Middle-East and East Asia. Churchill was racist and a terrorist to many in the colonized world but was a prolific author who won the Nobel Prize in Literature. What's the difference between him and the unabomber?
It's hard enough to get people to post for free. Now you're going to charge $0.01/post and add the friction of a blockchain to it.

This is inherently a problem with building on blockchains and why nothing useful has been built on it. It's slow. It's expensive. It's complicated for users and developers. Most blockchains have had hacks in the past. Algorand was just labeled as a security by the SEC. And most important of all, people don't value decentralized storage of information enough.

I'm sure scaling an the database(s) that power Reddit is hard enough. It might be impossibly uneconomical to decentralize a Reddit clone's data on a blockchain.
Of course there was inflation. It's true that it didn't exactly match the rapid growth of M2 but it's still consistent with it. Obviously the other big factor is velocity.

Emotional intelligence is about understanding what you are feeling and why, not about how you present your emotional state. It’s what allows someone to realize they’re getting angry because they had unspoken expectations that weren’t met, or because they were experiencing anxiety from unrelated triggers. This kind of understanding prevents someone from blowing up in the first place because they understand the root cause isn’t what our brain wants to jump on in the moment. A more “stoic” person may be that way because they are highly emotionally intelligent and avoid getting overwhelmed. Or, they may be bad at it, and are just bottling it up to explode randomly at inappropriate times. It’s related, but tangential.

Indeed, that's why it's important to know where ideologies come from, who is using them, and to what ends they are using them for so we can be reflective of the greater implications of our beliefs.

If you find your ideology in the mouths of authoritarians, fascists, or those with genocidal intent, it's probably worth reflecting on why.

> WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS OF 'THE GREAT REPLACEMENT'?

> It is thought to have its roots in early 20th century French nationalism. It was popularized in recent years by French writer Renaud Camus who believes immigration from Africa and the Middle East will eventually lead to the extinction of the native white European race, according to non-profit organization ADL (Anti-Defamation League.) Because many white nationalists in the United States and abroad believe Jewish people are actively encouraging non-white immigration, the false narrative is considered anti-Semitic, the ADL said. White "replacement theory" and the idea of a "white genocide" were a pillar of Nazi Germany's ideology, which pointed to Jews as the single most dangerous threat to white civilization. The Nazis killed six million Jews in World War Two.
This is an incredibly disingenuous take.

First, no it is not 3$. Apple takes a 30% cut, and requires a yearly fee to keep the app on the store. There is also a separate server cost, and a cost associated with paying an engineer. The actual cost is 5 dollars.

Second, there is only one single month to make all changes. Pricing was announced only 30 days prior.

That means payment setup, subscription changes, app update and payment approval requests, etc all need to happen within 30days. This is literally impossible.

Third, there are people who have paid a for a yearly subscription. (10$ total) Those funds either need to be refunded in it's entirety, or be allowed to run out first. Both will not occur within 30 days. That is literally impossible for apollo dev to do. That's just an issue of how refunding works and timelines.

If it is the latter, the dev will be incurring ~50,000 usd in costs every month. This is impossible to sustain.

Either way, there are app store rules that must be followed first. Reddit's timeline is incompatible with them.

And finally, regardless of API costs! reddit has on multiple occasions, defamed Apollo dev. Why would he continue working with a company that makes false blackmail accusations, then doubles down after evidence is provided?

Eagle is far from an industry standard. In fact I don't remember hearing about a single company who uses it. Perhaps some small companies preferred Eagle. In industry it is far more common to see hardware companies use Altium, OrCad, Cadence, or even Mentor Graphics. I've also heard of one company who uses KiCad.

One of the big drivers for which EDA tool suite hardware companies choose is integration/compatibility with their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools. My understanding is the bigger tools have better solutions for this than Eagle.
Yes, that is correct. They sold the consumer products division in 1998, but still have brands of laboratory products and raw borosilicate glass.
Of course, you are paying $1500/month for your family to get to only pay $450 for that out of pocket.
For sure, and I haven't moderated in a few years so perhaps the internal reddit tools have improved since I last used them. They used to be pretty basic and cruddy. The moderation team I was a part of relied pretty heavily on the moderator toolbox:

I don't know if the proposed API changes will affect this specific tool, but I doubt moderators would be nearly as up in arms if their tools were going to keep working the way they had in the past.

The ergonomics generally are not about the weight of the pen, but about how hard you must grip it to press it to the paper so friction can melt the ink when you roll the little ball across the page. You also have to write at a higher angle to keep the ball on the page.

Gel pens are great. I keep my wife supplied with them, because she thinks fountain pens are too fancy. But the difference is still night and day. I let her use my Lamy 2000 once. She picked it up and started making a snarky comment, "See I don't need a fancy... Oh!" The moment it hit the page and she started writing it literally shut her up. She never made a comment about "fancy pens" again after that. We had a good laugh about it.
If you use conda there are extensions that can help with this by automatically registering any available conda environments that include ipykernel in your Jupyter Lab environment.

You know your crystallized something I've not quite been able to put my finger on.

Is that a good thing?

I mean sure someone was able to produce code that they probably don't understand to do things they want but what are they going to do when things change or the environment changes or something breaks and they need to debug it.

The ability for lay users to generate code is terrifying for me not because of any concerns about my job but rather because the hard part of development was never writing the code, now we have machines that can spit out code for users that can look shockingly correct. It just makes me wonder if we're going to end up with MS Access on steroids where thousands of brittle poorly integrated mission critical are going to crush businesses under their own bloat.

I mean imagine if people start to use this to replace excel. Shudder
Big companies also pay in RSUs which immediately convert to real money.

I agree with the email point. Who wants people to send them more emails?
Absolutely. It's part of credentials, like a diploma. Not that it's truly needed but it expands options and can help get much better pay. Even if it does not guarantee that and some people can achieve even better financial success without it, still.
Nadella has been talking up Microsoft's AI strategy for a long time, on a regular basis. He has kept up with the changes but his general tune on AI hasn't changed much in 5 years.

Exactly. Reddit holds all the cards. Time after time, no great migration after a "revolt".

> Even r/nba committed to an indefinite timeframe at arguably the most important time of the NBA season.

The NBA championship just ended and the season is over. It's the least important time of the NBA season.

This is nothing but an annoyance at best for reddit. If things got serious, they'll just take ban the revolt leaders and take over the subs. Frankly, I despise the "power" mods as much as the reddit admins. Hope there is a mass culling of the mods on reddit as these privileged mods are who made reddit unbearable and turned it into a propaganda cesspool.

This post could be much clearer if the author was more clear about what the actual mechanics of what the Fed does. When they raise or lower rates, it’s not like they publish a number and that’s the new rate. Rather the Fed Open Market Committee goes into the market and buys or sells bonds until the rate hits their target.

So I have to admit I’m not sure I understand the distinction being made between banks extending credit to the govt or the private sector.
low interest rates are not always the result of loose monetary policy; given that the low rates didn't result in inflation, they likely reflected lower real growth expectations or other demand side factors.

Conda isn’t perfect but takes on a lot of problems that pip doesn’t deal with at all. Regular conda is really slow these days but you can use mamba instead or just configure conda to use the libmamba solver and it’s much nicer.
