I have a Dasung e-ink monitor (by the power of grayscale). I find a lot of interesting reading on my work computer, but getting those links onto e-ink devices like my Boox has been irksome. Reading on the e-ink monitor was _almost_ worth the price. Ultimately, however, I retired it because the desktop real-estate, macOS's limited multi-monitor capabilities, and if I'm going to buckle down and read something long form I need to get away from my desk anyway.
I don’t know that there is any technical reason why e-ink can’t develop a better refresh rate to match what we are used to, at least theoretically. I don’t think its refresh rates are capped in that way.

The real problem is cost of course. Part of that is e-ink is still governed under a patent you must license and pay royalties to if I recall correctly

The best use case for edge deployment is the deployment of static resources for the initial web app load. It achieves a latency of around 40ms and almost instantly shows the user the initial render. The later database CRUD actions are much less important when the application has already loaded. Not only because much of data can be cached in the browser or aggressively pre-fetched, but also because many CRUD actions run in the background only show errors if something went wrong.
This reminds me of the same types of complaints around air travel now versus the 50s/60s. Both ignore the relative costs and the fact that you can still buy high-end fridges or first class tickets if you are willing to spend the same amount of money that you would have had to back then.
Is there any reason to believe their results? While their reproduction could definitely be legitimate, there are no credentials or affiliations mentioned on their bio, except for “molecular biologist” which typically means a skill set more oriented towards organic chemistry (as opposed to inorganic chemistry, which this is about), and neither have they posted any hints as to what their methods are.
My girlfriend's mom has a teaching oven (used in home economics classes) from the 1950s. The 'teaching' part mostly means it has a more accurate and detailed temperature gauge.

This gas oven is so heavy that light in the kitchen gravitationally lenses around it, but it's still going strong and the best oven I ever used.
Many folks in my office have an ancillary monitor or two to the side of their main monitors, often in portrait mode, just for keeping docs, diagrams, and other reference material. But having so many backlit monitors in your field of view can become a little fatiguing.

An e-ink display with sharp text and without a backlight could be useful for such a use case.

But agreed that mobile contexts seem more broadly useful.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've started looking a little into the global remote thing and it sounds amazing. Would probably take me a while to get into such a position because I'm very junior still but it's something to aim for.
I guess you and I are being downvoted because people on HN can’t tolerate engineers being questioned. Hey guys, everyone makes mistakes and it’s an important part of scientific advancement to understand and share that knowledge.
AWS: IPv4 addresses cost too much, so you’re going to pay
That's not correct. Condensed matter physicists will have a good handle on how plausible this is (but not certain). Other people will vote randomly so their votes cancel out, effectively leaving the final result as biased by the expert opinions. That's how the wisdom of the crowd works.
Sure, but you'd buy once and that fridge problem was sorted for a few decades. Over the long term you paid significantly less because you weren't replacing a broken fridge every few years. If problems did crop up appliance repair was a cost effective long term fix. Ain't designed obsolescence a wonder?
It's also easier on the eyes and can be used in sunny conditions.

With that being said, I would love to see one in a smart phone or laptop.

I don't think it is better where it matters. Modern fridges circulate the air to manage humidity and temperature better for different zones (meat, vegetables etc).
Also, less energy usage and no ozone-destroying coolants.

I'm in the same boat as you. I regularily switch between high and low keyboards, high and low profile mice, different keyboards/mice at work/home and in addition I switch between right and left handed mouse whenever I feel like it, sometimes even several times an hour. At one point I had two mice at on my desk and grabbed the one which hand was free at the moment. Never had RSI in my 30+ years of active computing though this doesn't prove anything, maybe I'm just lucky. But still, I find it quite liberating to not depend on your must-have setup.

I've reached the point where I can basically work with everything thrown at me. I have preferences, yes, but I'm not the type of person who has to have perfect setup or else nothing gets done.

Excellent link - thanks

I skimmed though the Voyager document and it seems to have very good coverage of overall telecommunications system.

For the topic of the periodic calibration the following is all I could spot

>> Four 7-hour and two 0.5-hour attitude control calibration maneuvers are performed per
spacecraft every year, each requiring 70-m station downlink coverage to ensure uninterrupted
downlink telemetry.

While this is interesting in itself, it merely states the schedule but doesn't satisfy my curiosity about the exact mechanism used to do the recalibration.

Thanks nevertheless. Interesting reads here.
It's not illegal, but you are liable for any wrongdoing done by people using your connection (Störerhaftung), especially with regard to unauthorized filesharing.
There was an amendment to the respective law to alleviate this problem and relieve providers of any liability, but the amendment was not phrased clear enough and there's a conflicting ruling from the European Court of Justice. In effect, if you are sued by rightholders for copyright violations committed through your connection, german courts decided, you are still liable unless you identify the perpetrator.
Similar (or actually not as good) fridge was $330 - so let's say $350 for a better one:
https://www.thepeoplehistory.com/50selectrical.html

$350 in 1950 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $4,431.04 today.

My last Samsung fridge freezer was £250 and had a 10 year warranty. Was plenty big enough and did everything I wanted it to (keep food cold and fresh).

This idea that 50s devices lasted decades seems odd to someone that grew up in the 70/80s, and everyone seemed to have new devices then (or 10 year old at best). But hey if I spend $4k on a device you bet I'll be fixing it if it breaks!

> There is no right to anonymity.

Sometimes a right must necessarily exist for another right to function. Anonymity must exist to allow freedom of political speech, which is the most important kind of free speech. I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone ever argue that people have a right to be anonymous all the time, but only in context of other rights, and often this is quite narrow. Some examples: political press, political speech, voting (that I voted in the Us is public, my ballot is anonymous).
Which falls into the category where I said it would be possible - you don't have to bring your own Hadron collider but only your brain in order to check whether the proof is correct. Admittedly not any brain will do, so in a sense you still need some specialized equipment.
How is legislation involved here? Never heard of such things.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_leave#Leave "Most countries have labour laws that mandate employers give a certain number of paid time-off days per year to workers." (it goes on to point out that the USA - with the exception of Maine and Nevada - is the outlier in western industrial nations in not having this)

The "right" is also in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_rest_and_leisure

Ironically, a lot of this dates back to the Haymarket Riot in Chicago in May 1886 (over the eight-hour-day movement), which led to May Day being a worker's holiday in much of the world...but US politics meant they got an alternative holiday in September.

As RedCondor points out, "who pays for it" has it backwards, companies gain value from the work of their employees, so effectively it is just giving back some of what they "pay" the company in labour.
1950-1970 seems like a local optimum in UX that we've yet to surpass.

My personal, completely-unsupported theory is it was a combination of 3 qualities.

(1) New types of things, while unlike anything that came before, were still simple and understandable enough that someone without formal engineering training could understand their use and offer improvements.

(2) Engineering was still seen as something that was approachable by anyone, and so more people availed themselves of the design tools it presented.

(3) Manufacturing was physically colocated with design, increasing agility to implement improvements.

Since then, we've moved into geographically disparate manufacturing of such optimized and tightly-packaged systems that as simple of an ask as "Could that light be red instead of green?" requires overwhelming machinations to design and implement, resulting in "Let's just leave it green." (Repeat for every UX component of a system)
My fridge has equivalent to most of those features. It doesn’t have an ice ejector but it does make its own ice. the only feature mine doesn’t have is the box for chopped vegetables. I don’t think I would use that anyway.
there are some weapons grade anons with 30 followers
Yeah but I'd bet the one we see in the video is probably still working, while I'm on my third fridge in 20 years. I think that negates any energy efficiency gains
I print everything to read it (if it's more than a couple of pages) because I have a hard time reading with a backlight, so I'm seriously considering backing this, if for nothing else than to reduce my paper consumption (even though I do religiously recycle).
Yes, my top of the line Siemens fridge has one pull out drawer for breakfast stuff, and it just comes out half-way.

And, it's labeled as a premium, major new feature.
> I keep hearing "Edge actually isn't bad anymore"

Whenever I said that in the past it was because it was a competent, nicely implemented alternative to Chrome. A real surprise.

Then they lost their fucking minds, same with Windows, and well... I don't say that anymore.
Very true. Many solid comments deriding the current generations of wifi-enabled (and randomly disabled when they shut off the servers) carp, but the seventh comment down nails it:

>> "capitalism breeds innovation" haha

Indeed, in many areas, 'capitalism' has not produced innovation that benefits anyone using the products, but merely increases the ratio of cash extracted from buyers in return for reduced value provided by sellers.
I extend my prayers out to those of you who have pointy-haired bosses looking to seem trendy in their public reports by implementing this.
Which then erases all information.

> What do you like about Mint?

The big one is desktops that I like, working out of the box: Cinnamon, XFCE or even MATE (can install more, of course, but these ones are supported and tested). XFCE is really snappy and lightweight, whereas Cinnamon is pretty polished and will also be familiar to folks coming from Windows (nice distro to recommend for that, for people with limited Linux experience).

Another big thing is not having snaps forced down my throat like Ubuntu increasingly seems to do. In that regard, Mint is closer to Debian, although if you want to, there is nothing holding you back from using AppImage, Flatpak or anything else (even snaps).

Compatibility that is otherwise pretty close to Ubuntu, as well as a long EOL period: after the demise of CentOS, Ubuntu remains one of those distros that you can just "install and forget about" (hopefully with regular updates), both locally on your workstation and in any of your servers. I can even base my containers on Ubuntu/run it on servers (pretty much every provider has support for it) but use Linux Mint locally and have pretty much everything work.

Now, frankly I could also opt for Debian without too many issues (they also have an LTS variety, albeit less advertised), but Mint is basically Ubuntu without some of the things that annoy me - boring and dependable, mostly just works.

Only annoying thing: if you ever need to setup an apt repo that points to packages that are compatible with Ubuntu and the script for doing that gets the release codename, it might get one that doesn't correspond to the correct Ubuntu release, but instead will grab the Mint name. Sometime need to fix that manually in the apt repository list with a text editor.
Beaming desires directly to your skull is obviously the next step. Then we can make sure you want to buy a PlausibleBurger as soon as you get your paycheck.

If you use a version manager like rtx or asdf then it’s basically that simple. I just had to run a single command:

rtx use python@pypy3.10

This downloaded and installed PyPy v3.10 in a few seconds and created an .rtx.toml file in the current directory that ensures when I run python in that directory I get that version of PyPy.

True, but even most high-end brands these days are more about fashion and high markups for the illusion of luxury than actually better quality. Though at least they generally have far better customer service, which makes a big difference.
I've rewrote the "grammar prompt" for the helper tool on the right since the video and it does behave much better now. Although, as you say, you're limited by what 3.5 can do.

But for GPT not correcting me, it's "a feature not a bug"©. Specifically, he's supposed to act like a Japanese person and if he can understand what I'm saying, even if the conjugation is wrong etc. it should work with it. However if I speak in complete giberish or english etc., then you have a "game over" where you fail the scenario.

It's supposed to be a "japan simulator" so to speak, and in real life, people make effort to understand you, you can use gestures also, even write stuff on paper if necessary.

However I'm currently adding a "validate your answer" button where he should tell you if it's grammatically correct etc. and allow you to take it back.

Ultimately, it's not going to be perfect, especially not with 3.5, but at my level of Japanese I think it's more about forcing me to be creative when I speak, in scenarios that matter to me. Not just following a script from Genki, but needing to explain stuff specific to my situation etc.
Would you claim that photosynthesis was a myth if we didn't understand every step of the Krebs cycle?

There are loads of natural phenomena we don't understand precisely, but nature doesn't care. We don't understand how many drugs work. There is no book that explains how thalidomide helps with multiple myeloma but is that a reason to say pharmacology is not science?
And how much power did it consume? What were the materials used for those fridges and paint? How much did they weight? How stable was the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator? Did those fridges had any mechanism to avoid frost formations? How much did they cost?

Point is, the needs of a fridge barely changed in 70 years, the only real expectation we had was that they would become cheaper to buy and run and easier to operate and maintain, all things modern fridges achieved to do.

I would also argue that the ice cube breaker is a non-feature and that shelves being so easily removable is a minus rather than a pro. The ones on the door would easily break and the other ones could be easily pulled (sending every other thing on that shelf on the floor) if something got stuck.

The door shelves also having all of those compartments lead to much poorer local cooling and are arguably worse for hygiene.

In other words: there's reason why we moved from these designs, they had pros and cons and the focus was price and power efficiency.
There is no real world comparison between air travel in the 50’s with anything else, except perhaps rampant enshitification.

Double decker airframes, a standing lounge, smoking on board, unrestrained pets at the lounge…

A CDN makes a lot of sense to me, having static assets that get cached close to users is a brilliant way to speed up requests. As the article points out, this is a very hard problem to solve for anything that touches a database or is not static/cached content. This is also why I don't believe in the idea that Fly.io pitches. Additionally you have the legal things to take care of with GDPR, etc. so a local database is probably the way to go for most projects.
The page doesn't describe how you do any of the actions with a mouse. It badly needs some text just explaining exactly what it provides and how.
Yeah. The default experience was not great, but with a little curation it was super streamlined.

When I saw developers using the default setup it was usually a pretty reliable clue as to their skill level.

Of course... Linux users would have said the fact that I was using Windows was an even bigger clue about my skill level.

It goes both ways. If you are not anonymous, then every your action can be taken against you. I remember a post where music companies searched reddit against user comments posted on 2011.

What if you are pro trans people? In 10 years you can be prosecuted by it, if a new party is elected. It can have new 'standards'. You will not be able to contradict mainstream narrative. You will not be able to say anything against corporations and governments.

If you will do anything outside of 'boundaries' set by companies, governments you will lost your job, spouse will leave you, all because you wanted 'a better world'.

On one side of scales is a place of total invigilation, on the other is a place with internet trolls. Companies like meta and twitter are quite good in rooting our trolls. So the current situation is inconvenient, but we can live with it.

If we opt out anonymity then the overall result will be a lot worse than the current situation is.
