It's hard to read the comedies. A lot of the humor is hidden in the way Shakespeare encoded his "stage directions" in the text. (The stage directions as we have them are almost never Shakespeare's own writing. They were added by later editors.)

An egregious example: the big gag in the play-within-a-play of Midsummer is that the "hole" in the wall is between the actor's legs. When they kiss, they're kissing his butt and his crotch. The text is really quite clear about it: "I kiss the wall's hole", "Thy stones with lime and hair".

It's not much to read, but in performance, it's incredibly obvious (and juvenile) humor. (So juvenile that a lot of productions do something else, and the whole scene falls flat.) Reading the footnotes is never going to make it funny to a reader.

The histories and tragedies are much more story-focused, and a lot easier to read. They're still better in performance, where the actors and director have done the "translation", and you can connect more viscerally to the moment.

Reading a play is an advanced skill, and I really wish English teachers wouldn't treat it as if it were readily accessible to high school students. You do have to start somewhere, but a complete, unedited comedy is starting at the summit of a mountain.
>He believes Amazon is becoming less accountable as it grows in power and treats customers worse

this is basic monopoly in action, less competition so a business can make more money with a lower quality service because customers don't have other options. Same reason most government services are so bad, they have a natural monopoly

Thank you! Yes, W-TinyLFU is very good, we have a follow up on this. But we find that the adaptive frequency in W-TinyLFU is less robust than using a static FIFO (yeah, I know this is surprising). And also the 1% LRU is sometimes too small. But I admit that W-TinyLRU is very good among all state-of-the-arts (but not as good as the FIFO+LP+QD), especially when you consider the scalability issue.
It's better to consume very few electricity, produced from nuclear for example, than setting up solar energy (with a significant loss on conversion and a footprint in materials, as well as nuclear plants, but what I mean is it's more our lifestyle that matters rather than the solutions themselves

Indirectly consuming few electricity means you've few devices which also have a number of footprints, so it's quite a large gain

The only counter example to what I said is maybe buying land to convert it to a food forest / permaculture, and save it from another guy building a villa with swimming pool
My experience has been that you can use open source software, but security considers that to have a high risk and you need to make a business case for it.

What isn’t a security risk? A closed source vendor supplied application that has its headquarters in the US.

You can sometimes find pockets of innovation in the defense sector, but it’s mostly filled with bureaucrats with engineer in their title.

I still maintain this naive belief that all of math is elegant, and from that perspective 13 sides sounds and looks oddly specific and feels contrived to me, at least without knowing specificities of the field.

Where do 13 sides come from? Is it related to a number of transformations?
>It's a pretty interesting tradeoff. Should we pay outrageous amounts of money for stuff like this? It keeps people employed, which generates other positive economic effects, like buying houses and groceries.

It's certainly true that much of the US military industrial complex is a publicly funded jobs program, and that tightening the purse strings would cause widespread economic distress. But that isn't better than a UBI - in fact, a modest UBI plus a market that needs a better trash can would probably lead to much better trash cans than a contract of this nature.

But I think it doesn't really stop at being a jobs program - US military spending also seems like an important part of how the sausage is made at the congressional level. Arbitrary sums can be assigned to different districts, which makes it a convenient method to broker deals between high ranking politicians. I suspect that's the real reason it can't be reformed.

I am not arguing that they failed at predicting the future: they failed at managing expectations.

I am suggesting that the Fed should have not be authoritative on these topics since obviously they have no clue. Only recently they tried to tone it down a little by asserting they are a "data-dependent" and even then, they are still authoritatively making assumptions every week on things they have no clue about.
Rephrasing your argument slightly: "of course the government can't pay only $30. They need to pay $30 for the trash can, and $49,970 for unaccountable value destruction!"

Keeping people employed for no positive economic benefit is literally tantamount to lightning money on fire. You are paying people who would otherwise be creating value elsewhere _not_ to create that value and instead play a useless role intermediating in garbage can manufacture. They would still be buying groceries and burning gas in that productive job, but the difference is that they would also be creating something useful for society.
I don't believe there is any value in being alive. What would it even be?

As long as you exist, you need to keep sustaining yourself, taking care of yourself, and that requires incredible reserves of the ability to function. Ability that you can end up losing for any number of resson, potentially irreversibly. And once you can't take care of yourself, you just sink like a stone, except this ocean has no bottom.

If you're lucky enough to be all of born into a wealthy country, healthy, into a functional family, to meet the right people, if all the stars align you might be able to live a decent life until you're old, but... what if they don't? As long as you exist, you're not safe from that eventuality.

Above all, you lose nothing by being dead, as you're not there to experience it. But you gain the safety from suffering.
It's a loss for everyone who had bet against the market in general as well
It doesn't necessarily invalidate your point, but I think the main difference is that historically novels were much more verbose, in a style that would be considered prolix today. You can basically read any page of Dickens to illustrate the point! But maybe its just because there was less going on they could afford to dwell on the minute to minute.
Air poppers are great for efficiency and convenience, but I find the consistency a bit chewy for my taste. Efficiency and convenience usually wins though, which is also why microwave popcorn is such a hit.
Terrible tips for a C++ developer, Part 9
So I worked for a company that had loads of process for even the smallest changes. It was frustrating, but what I came to realize was that the company was not interested in fixing bugs or building features - they were primarily interested in not breaking things/keeping the status quo. This was an established business that was concerned with keeping the business running, not chasing the latest and greatest. Perhaps a lot of it was just CYA, but also means it was pretty hard to "move fast and break things".

There isn't one when it comes to coffee, though I accept your fundamental premise that "no free lunch" isn't always true.

Coffee may be good for your healthspan but addiction to caffeine is real and you lose the nootropic benefits if you hit it every day, as most coffee drinkers do. In fact, it's worse than this, because your brain performs worse before it gets its coffee, at which point a daily drinker will just arrive back to baseline performance. Not to mention the irritation, "don't talk to me before my coffee", etc. that other people have to deal with before you get your fix. Or the hit to your wallet whenever you purchase coffee from your local barista.

I want to be clear I'm not throwing shade on the other healthspan benefits of coffee that do come from daily drinking but pretending coffee is a free lunch is naive.

Ah, the joys of contenteditable HTML elements... Such an under-specified and utterly horrible part of the web specs.

I'm sure you had a lot of fun fighting Safari in general, and also the diverging handling between Chromium and Firefox (for example when pressing the Enter key). Even just changing certain CSS properties on the root editor element will cause the resulting markup on certain key inputs to be different.

I admire that you pulled it off, and hope that you have a big collection of cross-browser integration tests for catching all the regressions that will inevitably happen :) Good luck!
Just him? I thought that was the general consensus.
Except that threatening to unilateral breaking a contract explicitely violates the licence:

> You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.

Whether or not this clause would be ruled valid in court is an open question, but the violation isn't. Unless you consider that “threatening customers to leave their business without the support they paid for” doesn't count as “imposing”, but that requires some mental gymnastic (what could this word even mean if not? Of course no company is going to use armed force to impose anything…)

Having been through this process with "some pieces of sheet metal" and "a design" $200k sounds reasonable if you want something produced to an actual specification. It costs a lot of money to pay "a guy in a metal shop" to build tooling to reproduce a design to a specification. I could probably get it done for a 5-figure NRE in certain quantities but the per-unit price goes up as the NRE goes down.

You should probably consider that these cans have to be tested to some minimal standard to make sure parts don't shear off under the stresses they encounter during their service life. These stresses are probably more significant for parts inside of a military aircraft, as it may be required to take evasive action or perform higher-stress maneuvers even though this is basically a 707 fitted with expensive electronics. It sounds dumb in isolation because it's a trash can, but if you want predictability and low failure rates you really do have to test everything.

I personally lack the imagination to consider all the failure modes of the can but that lack of imagination doesn't mean that the failure modes aren't real risks.
you can't. You can only assume that they are equal and attempt to make them as equal as possible. (the same issue arises when measuring the speed of light: it's actually not possible to distinguish if the speed of light is different in one direction to another, we only know accurately the average of each direction)

A real shame about the timing too. I understand the general reasoning behind it (it sounds like SUSE internally is moving more towards the container/MicroOS focus) but making such destabilizing changes right when people are really looking for RHEL/CentOS alternatives feels like such a missed opportunity.
How do folks think this could have gone down otherwise? The assets that backed these deposits didn't disappear, they were lowered in value. As such, they got sold to someone else that can afford to hold on to them to maturity and wait for them to possibly even go up in value.

Assuming the world doesn't go to zero, that means a, by definition, very rich entity would get even richer by holding on to these.

Worse, it would have created a race to get your funds out before you couldn't. At which case, it would have certainly screwed up other fundamentals.

Worse still, if you do start auction devaluing of treasury bonds, that will reach so far into the economy that it is hard to really state.
I guess this means that I now should re-tile my bathroom. hmm.

Adversarial training isn't infinitely scalable either, has its limitations also.

Also - the moment that companies start training models to resist detectors, they expose themselves to regulation. Won't stop dark AI models running on some website somewhere, but it can be very effectively applied to companies running at Google or OpenAI scale.

I know. I've explored pretty much all the options when working on this and Monaco and CM are definitely top choices. That said, for languages I'm working with (web) and for the future potential of e.g. connecting to remote language server, Monaco is a better choice. Will see if switching between CM on mobile and Monaco on desktop will be doable.
There's a reason the Navy runs their own service and repair shops for submarines, and it's exactly to produce custom parts and tooling for overhauls and repairs.
I have a Jura automatic espresso machine at home. It has a hopper that you put the beans into. When you want a shot, you push a button and it grinds the beans and steams the water and pulls you a shot or two.

It tastes... fine? But not great. Better than your typical gas station coffee, worse than a manual espresso machine. I tried to do a blind taste test with my friend who is a connoisseur and makes his own espresso with precise weights and pressures every morning. Lol the Jura failed horribly, the resulting output just looked so visually different (lost most of the oils) that he couldn't not see the difference even if he tried. And the taste of the stuff he made (from the same batch of beans) was just so incomparably better. I never realized there could be so much difference from preparation alone.

But still, I love my Jura. When I wake up I don't want to spend ten minutes doing math to make my coffee. I can barely push the button and wait 30 secs for it to make it for me, lol. Like I said, totally fine if you can learn to love mediocrity... I find it's a good philosophy for coffee and life alike :)

Edit: and oh normally we'd drink it either as an Americano (espresso and lots of water, basically a lazy man's drip) or with cold oatmilk poured over as an iced latte. The fancier models have steaming wands too so you can make lattes and cappuccinos and such. Never tried though, too fancy lol
> But I really hate how react does not have a "blessed"/"official" router or state management, and a lot of "innovation" in this space simply looks like fashion waves nowadays, often reinventing the wheel, and are getting unpopular again over time.

From an ecosystem view point I think that's really cool! It means that they're not tied to anything and you can pick what works for you. The community, of course, has found its go-to solution anyway, fittingly named "React Router".

The state management situation is more complicated and I think that's even more beautiful, because someone liking Redux can just use it for themselves instead of it being forced on everyone.
>If you write the rules (or laws) such that everyone is breaking them but then chose when and how to enforce those laws you can selectively enforce them against specific people or specific kinds of people.

This! I've been saying this for so long and I'm glad to see more people saying it.
This is the buried lede in the article.

"As the Government Accountability Office recently reported, nearly 20,000 small businesses have bowed out of military contracting in the past decade, creating further opportunities for price hikes."

Why did 43% of the small businesses that used to do business with the government stop? And what has happened since 2020?

I know multiple small manufacturing businesses that would never consider accepting a government contract. One of the many reasons is the way the government force its contractors all the way down to the lowest levels (contractors of contractors of the big 5 gov contractors) to follow a million nonsense Covid rules. I suspect the number of small businesses willing to work for the government has dropped even more in the last three years.
Somehow, Julie Taymor managed to make a masterpiece out of Titus. She embraces the fact that it's a horror story, and treats that horror in a fashion akin to Tarantino: awful and beautiful.

I would have sworn it was impossible, but she did it. And having done it, I don't feel like it ever needs to be done again.

That said, I've seen moderately successful attempts at other horror-inspired approaches: grand guignol, horror fun-house, even "Titus! The Musical".
Lack of iodine in the diet was an issue 100 years ago, but not so much now.

According to the National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements, tests have shown that the population in the United States is “iodine sufficient.” Most Americans who eat a varied diet get enough iodine even if they don’t use iodized salt. They are at little risk of iodine deficiency*

This is the money quote you can use to argue this is actually corruption:

> When the 707 fell out of use in the United States, the trash can was no longer a “commercial” item, meaning that Boeing was not obligated to keep its price at previous levels

So now one can look why it cost "mere" $300 before, unless Boeing losing money back then the price hike may be shady behavior and then someone should change supplier asap.
Ask HN: IP cameras that don't require an app or internet?
I've been using Amcrest and foscam IP cameras at my home for the past several years. I have then connected to a no internet VLAN with an NVR.

The models I've been using have an ethernet port and wifi. Setup was connecting to the ethernet port and then accessing the web ui in a browser to configure settings (most importantly turning on RTSP or ONVIF feeds). The cameras I have are starting to show their age and a couple of them are starting to fail (PTZ slow or require reboots every few weeks).

I picked up newer models from Amcrest and foscam assuming they would have the same set up procedure (i made sure to get ethernet+wifi models and did research on being RSTP capable) but they all require downloading an app and creating an account to set them up, even if the end configuration is without internet for local video)

The foscam cameras have a web ui that just has links to the app stores and the amcrest cameras don't have any web ui available. I tried directly accessing the RTSP URLs and still no luck. both apps require account creation in order to use.

I've also tried some tp link, wyze and aqara cameras in the past but they all required an app/account. They also had the worst reliability, both in connection stability and physical failure rates.

Does anyone have specific model numbers of currently purchasable (US) IP cameras that genuinely don't require an app and account to set up?

The managers have power. They are helped by corporation status (a State creation) and by the fact that when they screw up the central banks print some money and write them a check (of course some schemes are used to hide this process a little bit).

This last bit is the most important. Even if you don't want to blame the managers, profit and loss mechanism is gone, so we are not under capitalism but in a command economy
The lesson really is that the market is in charge of the market. I don't think the Fed lied. I think they really thought they wouldn't have to raise rates much, if at all. They were just wrong because they're not in charge. They only think they are.

> A study published in 2019 analyzed a decade of data about the eating habits of 10,000 people, which was collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between 2003 and 2014. Blood samples from the study participants were also collected. The researchers found that people who ate microwave popcorn every day over the course of a year had levels of PFAS that were up to 63% higher than average.

1. Is it too much to ask for a link to the original research in an article like this?

2. Given that every human alive has detectable levels of PFAS in blood, 63% elevation after eating every single day of the year doesn't seem like a lot.

3. Those advocating popping in pans/pots might want to consider what that pan/pot is coated with.
