Fun fact: I left my plotter and E6B in my black car in TX during cross-country training and came back to both melted! I was broke and 18 so figured I would wing it, but it surely made my calculations error biased by some amount of yards because I was broke and not wanting to buy a new one!

The US and UK didn't overthrow the Shah, they helped him stop from being overthrown. If you can't even get the basics of the historical events we're talking about correct, you shouldn't be making broad generalizations about all of history.

The last paragraph is a really good insight. We tend to view a "good" upbringing as purely the absence of trauma, but it requires the active presence of teaching important skills and modeling healthy relationships.

Simply never being in a car accident while growing up doesn't mean you spontaneously know how to drive a car.
Set Check and Correct Spelling Automatically in Settings on your macOS. That should work for all apps, even browsers and Electron. I personally switch that off as Auto Correct is fundamentally flawed since the OS doesn't know what context it is, nor what language(s) you are typing.

I think sarcasm is a fantastic way to get people to consider their beliefs. Seeing them uttered will make people actually consider them. Perhaps I overestimate people. But the amount of people who have deleted their comments in support of my post suggest that at least someone has second thoughts.

TBF the big shots have been putting their mouths into Iran much earlier than that. The British and USSR even had a plan to invade Iran because they were close to Germany back in the day. Of course German posing itself as the liberator because it wants the oil but Britain was blocking it from do so.

Vanillin, benzaldehyde, and 2-ethylhexanol are all found in edible plants, and in particular, those three smell very good.

Paper is wood pulp (natively comprising lignocellulose) where the lignin has been broken down. The lignin breakdown products are primarily polyphenols (the building blocks of lignin), including vanillin and related compounds, which for whatever reason smell really good to us. The smoky smell of wood char and campfires? Polyphenols.

Not a blog. I'm hosting around 20 WP sites on it through docker.

It's 8 GB RAM, 80 GB disk and 4vCPU ( AMD EPYC). Double performance of what you mentioned and AMD for < 8 €/m

It also has an offering similar to yours, here's the pricing page: https://www.hetzner.com/cloud

I suppose you only read the title? ( otherwise I'll have to rewrite some bits)

Tbh. My blog is hosted for free. So I would say your option is much more expensive for a blog...

A different kind of JavaScript router
itty-router is different than other routers... and not just by being smaller (450 bytes for the Router itself, or 1.6k for the entire library... roughly ~140x smaller than express.js).

It takes a somewhat novel approach to routing, allowing your code to be shorter, simpler, and more readable.

Change the way you think about routing today! :)

It is completely doable, and there's a lot of good software and tutorials to get it done. But there's all sorts of things that could complicate that process.

For instance, with my last 3d printer, I had to open it up and jump some pins on the mainboard, and then had to get a specific piece of (cheap and readily available) USB hardware to write to it from a laptop - and even then, it only worked from a specific USB port on some of my machines, because of weird USB host incompatibilities. And my 3d printer was one of the most common buy-this-one-first products of its time!

Oh, and there was also some weirdness with the PSU as well that somehow caused flakiness when powering up the webcam when I tried to share power for the pi with the printer itself. I'm comfortable with troubleshooting that, but I wouldn't expect nor even want the average person to have to bother with that kind of stuff.

So the appeal/marketing of the Bambu products is that it's not something for tinkerers - it's something that the average person can just setup and immediately get reliable prints, with all the bells and whistles on top of it.

In other words, the idea is that it (quite literally) "just works". Even with the drawbacks that we all know about proprietary devices and cloud services, it does its job for the average person.

The positive side of all this is that Bambu's relative success means a bit of pressure on the other leaders in the 3D printing space, and we can see that they're all iterating quickly and well to compete in aspects where they may have been resting on their laurels before.
I haven't reviewed all the code, but my question would be related to the back end which I can't find the source for. Even if the back end is open source we wouldn't know if that is the same code on the servers.
I'm with you, but we are most definitely the minority. The vast majority doesn't mind them.

I used to not mind them, feel like people were just supporting their sites, etc., but I was eventually pushed over the edge, lost it, and stopped using apps with ads I couldn't block, and started using uBO everywhere.

(And stopped reading news because it's almost as bad for you as advertising.)

So let's just call it my inability to see ads without feeling angry, and so I need a "psychological exemption". :)

Since I'm just one of a few out there who does this, I figure content creators will survive.

(I, too, am a content creator, but I distribute mine for free without ads. I make money with my day job.)
That’s completely wrong. There’s a reason fire trucks are painted brightly, have flashing lights and loud sirens, and can interact with intersections to flip lights: our governments have determined that these features are useful to make them conspicuous. Adding a sonic broadcast is just another doodad on the roof wired to the sirens and supported by laws to force autonomous vehicle manufacturers implement support.
The article mentions their plan is to bury the tanks. That is stupid expensive, and one of the reasons existing water storage tanks are never buried in the US.
> You get what you pay for.

Free markets when you agree with them, civil-rights and anti-discrimination laws when you don't.

You mean what is popular with advertisers, not public, right?
> > I'm leery of the whole "image recognition to spot errors" thing anyway.

It's been done before, although others with actual experience of Spaghetti Detective will have to chime in with whether it works well.
Has the whole license incompatibility thing actually been tested/litigated in court? I heard Canonical has (at least at some point) shipped prebuilt ZFS. I understand that in-tree inclusion brings its own set of problems, but I’m just asking about redistribution of binaries - the same binaries you are allowed to build locally.

It would be nice to have a precedent deciding on this bullshit argument once and for all so distros can freely ship prebuilt binary modules and bring Linux to the modern times when it comes to filesystems.

The whole situation is ridiculous. I'd understand if this was about money, but who exactly gets hurt by users getting a prebuilt module from somewhere, vs building exactly the same thing locally from freely-available source?

The last two decades seemed to have progressed glacially slow.

We've had smartphones for fifteen years and they haven't really improved much. Better camera, a few more sensors, more durable glass. Incremental improvements. About the same for laptops and desktops.

3D printing has come a fair way, but we're still not printing cars at home. (I totally would download a car.)

Now all of a sudden we have AI/ML, self-driving cars, high fidelity consumer mocap, AR/VR. The types of things coming out now seem way more sci-fi, cutting edge, and optimistic. A return to the imagination and dreams of the 1950's - 1990's.

2000 - 2020 was a speed bump.
Author of article here. I don't think there is an average but as a child comment mentioned, you'd usually aim for 3x return on your ad spend. But it really depends on your product.

If you're selling expensive B2B solutions the customer journey will look very different to a consumer product - direct ads might be a terrible idea because no business clicks on a facebook ad and then decides to invest in an expensive enterprise software.

You might be better off investing in content, make a custom landing page for that lead, account based marketing etc - and not do any AdSense.

But yes, you do have to evaluate your marketing mix and channels against your customers purchase journey. Will write more about that in the upcoming posts :)
Thanks, great comment.

I think a really important point you make is that many people (especially techies) tend to overestimate "rational" reasons for war, and they tend to forget we're all basically monkeys wearing pants.

Just look at the war in Ukraine. Even if Russia completely "wins" the war, what do they "win"? A country where ~60-70% of the residents despise them? Some extra land (like Russia really has a problem with not enough land)? It's just a (very, very sad and tragic) dick-waving contest. A PRC attack on Taiwan would basically be the same thing.

This is nice, it basically does what i asked a year ago[0] and at the time pretty much every solution wanted a litany of Python dependencies that i ended up failing to install because it took ages... and then i ran out of disk space.

No, really, this replaces literal gigabytes of disk space with just a 799KB binary. And as a bonus using the Q8_0 format (the one that seems to be the fastest) it also saves ~2.3GB of data too.

That said, it seems to be buggy with anything other than the default 512x512 image size. Some sizes (e.g. 544x544) tend to cause assert fails, sizes smaller than 512x512 (which i tried as 512x512 is quite slow on my PC) sometimes generate garbage (anything smaller than 384x384 seems to always do that).

A finite-length sample of the most perfect white noise will not attain maximum entropy. You mention a lowpass filter -- that's accomplished through the sampling frequency. But your proposal is an effective lowpass filter, as any frequency longer than the sample length will clipped to exactly the sample length -- which you'll be able to hear as a distinct rhythm if it's a sub-audible frequency, or a tone if it's shorter.

Taken to the extreme, you're looping a single datum: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/random_number.png
The first agile manifesto people were largely consultants who realized that initial requirements are often bloated and not quite right. Instead it is better to work with a client to gradually develop their ideas and to work with them for that.

The cottage industry came out of that pretty quickly and development process often turned into some manager or PM using the first Google result about SDLC.

I somewhat agree overall, but the origin story and the context that the original agile manifesto people were consultants I think is an important context
That is my point. The protonmail person said they never have access to the decrypted key. As far as I can tell they can't prove it.
The British and Soviet Union did invade and occupy Iran during the war. It was focused on controlling the railroads, but it led to the then Shah to abdicate.
> You should wrap failable actions in a task if you're calling it from a liveview.

For complex, one-off and schduled tasks? Sure.

But when my stuff is literally "get one record from the db and display it" why should it be in the task? Just because you're a "let it crash" purist? I don't think even Erlang advocated this.

> That should happen before the socket plug and perform the redirect before even the websocket upgrade.

Again, that depends.

- An unauthed person accessing a link behind login? Yes. Redirect before anything happens

- An unauthed person accessing an expired link (e.g. invitatoon, or private preview)? Oh, I have to acces the DB to check that the link is valid/invalid, and show the page saying that the link has expired

- A person with some authorisation accesiing some resource that is only partially available to them? Oh, I still have to show some stuff, and hide some other stuff.

The world is significantly more complex than "just run it in a task, throw an error, and let Phoenix show a 404 page automatically"
we have heard the same with btrfs.
I default to monologue too and it has some serious disadvantages. I always had problems remembering to do stuff I "told myself" to do with some delay.

Later in life I learnt a trick from my wife who uses visualization for this. For example I need to buy something tomorrow after work - so I'll imagine myself stepping out of the bus, turning to shop instead of going directly home, and then I'll imagine myself passing by the shelf in the mall where the thing is and taking it to the basket. And like magic - I get an "internal notification" with this fake future memory when I step out of the bus, and then another when I pass by that shelf in the shop.

It's like magic :) Makes remembering stuff so much easier.

> Why do you want to operate your printer when you're not on your LAN?

Checking the progress of your prints remotely and stopping them if something has gone wrong. There's options for spaghetti detection and so on, but those aren't perfect, and other kinds of failures can happen.
> I think we need a regulation
1. Any personal images/data sent to cloud need a FDA approval. (FDA = Federal Data Administration)

So not just new regulation, but an entirely new regulatory body. Also, the Food and Drug Administration will have to change their name to something else.
No it isn't, the AI altered the text, probably to make the style more similar to a travel article.

Compare the original [0]:

With the AI version [1]:

> People who come to us have jobs and families to support, as well as expenses to pay. Life is already difficult enough. Consider going into it on an empty stomach.

That the AI made it sound like it was written by the organization is just another one of its failings.

The people clearly support the Iranian government.

Whether or not you or I have anything to say about that is pretty irrelevant as I am not an Iranian citizen, and you are unlikely to be one.

von Mises once said that every government is fundamentally democratic because even the most autarchic government requires the governing consent of its people. This is clearly true.

This whole "people in the West get to decide whether or not a government is valid, but also they are evil bad guys" thing is really getting old.

If you're in the US, then you have to be the primary driver of your health care. In this case, research oral appliances on your own, buy one and try it. You can use something like a wrist mounted pulse oximeter to gauge its effectiveness. If it works, great.

I'm not familiar with the article's 'phase 2' options like oxygen therapy. There again though, you are able to purchase a home oxygen concentrator on your own and try it out.
Then this sentence makes absolutely no sense: "The Overthrow of the Shah then, was based on the requirement to not be beholden to anyone but the west when pricing Oil, to ensure the west had unmitigated control of how the largest oil property set prices."

Which generates more energy, dropping 1000 tons of water 100 meters, or dropping 1000 tons of steel 100 meters?

Volume matters for the sizing of components, it doesn't matter for the amount of energy you can extract from a height differential.

Evergrande has been insolvent for a long time. The government kept patching it up, but anyone could tell just by looking at the data.

So you know, if the numbers say your debt is waaaaaay over your asset (they’ve been leveraged since 2008 or so, most Chinese real estate companies, just that Evergrande was exceptionally so), but the government keeps you alive for 10 years anyways, is the trader wrong or you know, the government.

I am looking forwarding to trying Nima. The blocker for me is IntelliJ supporting Java 21, which i believe will be this winter [1]; i don't absolutely need IntelliJ, but i am very lazy.

At the moment, my apps are using either the JDK HttpServer, which is easy to use, but of questionable robustness and lacking websocket support, or a Netty-based server, which works very well and supports websockets, but is often awkward to program against because it's asynchronous. Nima should combine a nice simple synchronous API with a fairly luxurious feature set and good scalability.

Of course, it will turn out there are things terribly wrong with it, because this is real life. But for now i'm optimistic!

Let's not forget the Kingston V300 scandal [1]:

> The first generation V300 (which was sampled to media) used Toshiba's 19nm Toggle-Mode 2.0 NAND but some time ago Kingston silently switched to Micron's 20nm asynchronous NAND. The difference between the two is that the Toggle-Mode 2.0 interface in the Toshiba NAND is good for up to 200MB/s, whereas the asynchronous interface is usually good for only ~50MB/s. The reason I say usually is that Kingston wasn't willing to go into details about the speed of the asynchronous NAND they use and the ONFI spec doesn't list maximum bandwidth for the single data rate (i.e. asynchronous) NAND. However, even though we lack the specifics of the asynchronous NAND, it's certain that we are dealing with slower NAND here and Kingston admitted that the Micron NAND isn't capable of the same performance as the older Toshiba NAND.

I met an exiled Iranian in Paris 13 years ago, and spent multiple nights in his appartement, drinking and talking (and testing his weed shipment :/ ).

He told me his clan/family was from northeast Iran, with presence in Afghanistan. They were allied to the Shah in 53 (not for his first coup though), and allied to both US and UK. He told me his 'import export' businesses was family business since the 50s: the US actually furnished them with both equipments and weapons and started their drug operation. He said his clan used and was used by the US twice, once against Iran democracy, the second time against the USSR in Afghanistan, and both times they ended up with nothing but troubles.

They ended up exiling most of their clan to western capitals in the 90s. They still have land there I think.
Minnesota is rapidly rising in pot culture because of the fact that legalization here was at first an accident last year, so every brewery could make THC seltzers and every bar and restaurant with a liquor license could serve them with no regulations basically. When they purposefully legalized it this year the accident driven free market had gotten so big and popular that they grandfathered it all in, and even added a clause allowing liquor stores to sell the hemp products.

That's a pretty routine thing. Remember how the government sold arms to Iran, or facilitated drug trade in Central America, or trafficked firearms for Mexican cartels? It's different when they do it, because they are the good guys.
