The Accidental Invention of the Microwave
December 29, 2017 Commercial Microwave Canada, commercial microwave Toronto Commercial Microwave
Commercial microwaves in Canada are the mainstay of restaurants, cafes, and cafeterias across the country. But before commercial microwaves in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver restaurants became popular pieces of kitchen equipment, the common microwave was considered a luxury item!

The microwave was invented accidentally in 1945 by a self-taught engineer named Percy Spencer, who was leading a radar project for the defence giant, Raytheon. While testing a new vacuum tube called a magnetron, he discovered that a chocolate bar in his pocket had melted from the heat. He decided to try another experiment by placing some popcorn kernels near the magnetron, and he watched as the kernels popped into fluffy popcorns.

Next, Spencer placed an egg near the magnetron and the egg began to move from the heat creating pressure inside the egg. The egg exploded and Spencer saw that the yoke had become hot. He realised that the low-density energy from the magnetron could cook food quickly. He created a metal box with an opening through which he fed microwave power. The energy was trapped inside the box, which created a high-density magnetic field. He placed food inside the box, and the heat generated by the energy cooked the food. The first microwave oven was born."

It would eliminate that fear of forgetting the key.

Again, it comes down to your threat model. Key stored in more locations is potentially compromising security, but is a trade-off everyone has to consider. It still prevents disinterested drag-net style data leakage.

If you are targeted by the big bad, I doubt my operational security would be sufficient to protect me from a motivated attacker. I suspect that there are vulnerabilities in my TPM/random number generators/encryption software that are exploitable. An evil maid or even just a camera positioned over my keyboard would probably be sufficient to grab my data. Plus those $5 wrenches.
No defence?

If I don't use iOS, Android and Windows? If I use dumbphone?

Or if I use webbrowser that does not support Javascript, or have Javascript disabled at webbrowser? So Javascript code at ads does not run?

This kind of needs more details.
This has to be what TicketMaster is doing, right?
Another month in and I think we have enough data and given Threads enough time to overtake Twitter / X in traffic and to hollow the entire platform in "extremely rapid fashion" according to a previously wild claim [0].

Threads is the one plummeting in "extremely rapid fashion", losing 81% of their DAUs. [1] That doesn't mean that it is dead, it just means that not only the media desperately projected these hype stories for their Threads clickbait but it ultimately failed to overtake Twitter / X. Even more statistics here [2] and here [3] show that Threads was hardly the "Twitter / X killer" as predicted.

Both will co-exist, but it seems that there is an extreme exaggeration in expectations for Threads as the "Twitter / X killer", but the best alternative against a long list of actual dead and unsustainable non-starters.

For Threads to have around 8 million daily active users it means it is still easily eclipses the smaller competitors and the entire daily and monthly active usage of the whole Fediverse in less than three months according, to the stats here under "Average All Active Users by Month". [4]

I commend you for making this effort! It is such an easy thing to do and so worth it. Is there any specific schema or method behind it?
I worked with a few sikh guys at one of my old jobs. Lovely chaps.

I'd like for you to meditate long and hard about exactly why them wanting their own homeland is so unacceptable to an india where indian nationalists (not a majority) did bombings and assasainations when seeking independance from the raj.

such things were unacceptable then and are unacceptable now. But like back then, it would be wrong to punish the rest of the population because of actions of so few, or to reject outright the idea of independance
I get that you think software can only improve because it evidently gets more efficient and fast over time and that means anything humans do for money is liable to be replaced by computers. What I think you fail to realize is that better technology enables people to become better at what they want to do.

There are now more _professional_ chess players than in the 90s. Because people like to play chess? That's circular reasoning isn't it? People can train and learn from software, with the end goal of being better players and the economics of the game have because of this absorbed more people.

When you take a snapshot of a field of human activity and imagine the next one, you guess there will be less people and more machines. This is naive and unfounded in history. There are now more fashion designers and tailors and a more complex sartorial economy than before robotic looms. Even accounting for population growth. There won't be less voice actors in a generation because of robotic voice acting. There will be a more diverse and more complex economy around producing voice content.

Predicting machines will replace people is predicated on a industrial view of the economy where people are either capitalists or workers and capitalists vie to use capital to reduce labor costs. In practice, many trade-offs apply, and often the introduction of technology changes dynamics in unpredictable ways. Not everything in the economy is some form of inefficient manual labor that can be profitably replaced by a box.

This whole "entitled workers shouldn't expect to deserve an income" smacks of elitist propaganda. Technology changes culture and economy in complex and nuanced ways, and the caricature of workers mad at clever engineers robbing them of cushy jobs is usually just a front for selling some mass produced lower grade substitute. And the people working on the high quality stuff don't get replaced by robots. They learn how to use the technology to innovate and add more value, out-competing these sorts.

Take the auto industry for example. They went heavily into robotics for decades, automated welding heavily and raced to the bottom culminating in a heavy series of recalls in early 00s. Meanwhile, skilled welders have become some of the highest payed industrial workers and what did the auto industry do to climb up the value ladder again? Crammed their cars full of non-robot made software.
You are blinded by your love of the market. "The market" (the unregulated one) is a very unstable and unsatisfying beast. It is precisely because of regulations that western countries and some Asian ones are so succesfull.

Many regulations are needed to keep the "free" market from destroying all the good that it can do. One famous example is monopolists that are created in a free market and then use their power to make the market unfree. Only government regulations destroy these monopolies with anti-trust laws.
Then there is pricing in so called free markets that are not in fact free. Such as pricing of infrastructure and services.

To name one perfect example of where government regulations lower the prices of services is in the healthcare industry. In most western countries (not the us tho) healthcare is relatively cheap and also accessible. This is because it is regulated. In the US it is barely regulated and very expensive. Without regulation the market will also destroy the environment. This is a "hidden cost" or an externality.
I'm not patiënt enough to write a more coherent and better written response. But if you are at all interested in learning something or allowing yourself to be disproved, I would suggest you start by googling: "succesful regulation" or "examples of market failure".
Funnily enough, that's what those on the other side say too.

No matter what the topic, those at either end of strongly polarised collections of views do tend to believe that they are correct and everyone else is wrong and informed.
Except the alchemists weren't practicing nuclear physicists, nor did they actually ever turn lead into gold through nuclear fission, nor would anything in their philosophy have led to doing so, either in theory or practice.

Just because it happens to be physically possible to turn lead into gold using a model that alchemists would never have even comprehended (as their principles were based on hermeticism and religion, not experimental science) doesn't mean they weren't quacks, or that they were half right. They were quacks, and it's OK to see them as such.
This makes me smile a lot. Whenever I pick up a new programming language, one of the first projects I tackle is writing a port of a similar MU* server because of the same breadth of concerns, so it's very nice seeing someone else recognize the complexity and take it on as a worthy challenge. (Though, this goes the extra mile and modernizes things; I've seldom accomplished that.)

I hadn't looked at doing this in Rust yet, so it'll definitely be interesting to give the code a read, particularly with the focus toward modernization.
MSFS is scalable from a small child being able to fly with the keyboard or an Xbox controller to near-professional grade airline simulators.
> There is no way Dropbox can support merge conflict for arbitrary file types.

For Dropbox, I agree. Apple could do it though; that's the advantage of having such great control over your ecosystem.
Interesting journey for all of you then. Why did Moneycontrol sue? I wish they had the foresight of buying the tech from you guys instead? The interface really was ahead of its time then. They could have used that.

Cool! What are you doing with climate?
Yes but he started out as an atheist and converted largely due to the influence of his friend Tolkien.
Its because there is no free/OSS alternative that is as good.

- Good RBAC controls for managing your community and making sure there aren't bots
- Nice API access for building bots
- Free without any necessary system administration overhead

Discord is just an easy to get into system to start a community without any large commitment on hosting.
The Turtle Mothers Have Come Ashore to Ask About an Unpaid Debt
Americans don't seem to embrace the idea of fair pay but no tips. The restaurants that have tried it have all had problems. Customers don't like the higher prices for the food and servers feel they can make better wages with them. For some it's true, workers in high end restaurants are very well paid because of tips. Tipping is just part of the culture.
Tbh we were initially looking for a GDPR-compliant telemetry solution cause we thought we need to track something to gauge engagement and retention. I was surprised to see that Google Play Console and App Store Connect give these insights already for free (if the user opts-in).
Kinda crazy what effect different albedos have, isn’t it? :)
> ... no artist is entitled to demand his audience values his other work as highly as he does: acclaim has to be earned.

Totally true, listeners are under no obligation to enjoy a certain body of the artist's work over the hit(s) they love. But art being art, listeners aren't in a position to dictate what the artist is doing. If the artist starts doing something else, that's their prerogative - they're exercising their artistic freedom and staying true to themselves. If the listener isn't onboard, that's totally fine, but it's time for the listener to walk away at that point, rather than attempt to continue to impose their will upon the artist.

I've obsessed over numerous musicians only to end up moving on after their style changed. I might be bummed, but they're the artist, it's their work and their right to move wherever they see fit. I'm just along for the ride, if I so choose to be - so is the rest of the audience.
It's the same if you're not an elite anywhere. I once had an ex-girlfriend use my debit card to buy $18,000 worth of stuff over a few weeks on Amazon before I noticed.

Amazon said there was nothing they could do because I had purchased products to send to her address before (true). Police said they couldn't do anything because there was no proof(false they were too lazy to do anything). Bank said they couldn't do anything because I should have changed my bank account information.

I had to beg the judge and prosecutor to even press charges but she never showed up and the warrant for her arrest (for not showing up 3x) got thrown out within days of being filed.

Looked into getting a civil suit going and was quoted around the same amount of money as was stolen. I guess New Jersey must be "the rest of world".
i've made a new pact with myself to stop downloading trivial apps which take up orders of magnitude more than their function.

Mullvad - a VPN = 500mb
Reaper - a full blown DAW = 10mb

seriously?

The same applies for simple text editors with lovely UI's which again - are 500mb, ridiculous. There are cases where i dont have an alternative - but - i expect single task, fast response apps to be several MB.

A beautiful example is SumatraPDF - 3MB for a PDF viewer....perfection...runs like lightening.
Let me go through it like this-

What I like the most is Discourse. But I need to self-host it or pay for it. I don't want to do either for a quick study group or a side project.

Zulip offers free hosting. I opened an account and spent the better part of 2 hours setting it up. I announced it. Exactly two people joined in. One of them wasn’t regular.

Then I created a Discord, and 10+ people joined in every day.

I don't want to use Discord, because I can't have direct contact with the users (discord doesn't share email with server admind/creators), Discord is bloated, it has poor search functionality.

But what can I do? It's where the people are. It's what they want.

Reddit was another option, but had criticsl mass problem there, too for some servers related to foss/group I admined.
Ticketmaster is mostly in the business of being the company that everyone hates so the artists can pretend to be helpless and of the people.
Run it like an airline, where your name is on the ticket and you don't get in unless it matches your ID. Either that or your ID is the ticket. Just bloop that big barcode on the back of your ID with your phone when you buy the admission, then let the guy bloop it again at the door when you go to the show. That would make some scenarios harder, like the trope about your boss handing you two extra tickets she can't use, but there's probably some way to bloop around that without giving the scalpers unfettered bloops.
I do daily Tiger's Milk and Lion's Mane, which are synergistic with psilocybin, but you generally only do psilocybin to a threshold every 72-hrs if you're "dosing".

Honestly, while these things can help, they aren't cognitive panaceas. They won't teach you pacing or how to manage your stress, they're not substitutes for active improvement efforts, and you won't suddenly have better ideas.

I don't recommend them or discourage their use, but if they might help you realize that maybe you shouldn't be living in a way that required coffee all the time, that naps are natural and you can take them when you want and not be less of a person, or that maybe trying to fit your natural rhythm to something that doesn't suit you isn't the smartest way to live, then I'd say that's great but that you also don't need a mushroom to convince you of that.
Also makes sense why gold is used traditionally as a storage of value, it doesn't tarnish or rust away with age
Interpretations mostly off the top of my head with wikipedia lookups for some of the non-English names:

Lenovo - the new thing;
Asus, Volvo - vaguely anatomical in English, but actually from pegasus and "I roll" in Latin;
Nintendo - 任天堂 might mean something in Japanese;
Samsung - 삼성/三星 "three stars" in Korean;
IKEA - IK is from founder Ingvar Kamprad's initials, EA more obscurely from his home farm and village;

Anker - big and heavy "anchor", appropriate for power adapters;
Kagi - means "key" in Japanese;
Nexon - from Nexus, their (still running!) 1996 MMORPG;
Plex - from multiplex or cineplex;
Sonos - from sound;
Hulu - sounds like "hula" but apparently from Mandarin;
Etsy - from "etc.", implying you can find "everything else";
Yandex - Yet Another + (network) Index.

They seem to be fairly sensible names for the most part.
We haven't quite figured it out yet. We are a business after all and need to make money at some point. Here is what we decided to not do:

* Show ads

* Sell data

In the end it will probably come down to a premium subscription, we have to hash out the details and do some research around it. Would also love to connect with someone in the industry who has experience in creating fair subscription options!
Information Extraction with Large Language Models
This is a rather absurd comment.

> Running a mailing list (for example) isn't resume-stuffing material for someone who isn't a sysadmin.

The assumption here is that an open-source maintainer has the time, energy & expertise to run a mailing list, but chooses not to for cynical career-related reasons. This completely dodges the very obvious oft-discussed point that most FOSS maintainers are under-resourced & overstretched.

People use Discord because Discord does the work for you, so you have more time to make the thing you're making.
Many renters couldn't afford to spend $5000 for a house. So should we sell houses that contain >$100,000 of raw materials for <$5000? Who would ever build a house again?
The core product will remain free. And we will never take anything away that is already out there.
That's how I learned to program. At one point all my fighting was done for me.
Henceforth it shall be known as the Thairantula.

I'll show myself out.
MUSHclient or nothing.
I pay contractors using USDT because there are no other real options atm.
Yes, various degrees; we are discussing three distinct levels. Why on earth would they all demand the same degree of formal methods?

Up to EAL4 all you need is a informal specification; what is basically useless paperwork.

It is only at EAL5 that you are required to supply a semi-formal design, ADV_TDS.4, and interface specification, ADV_FSP.5. At EAL6 you must also supply a formal model of the security policy, ADV_SPM.1, and a complete mapping between design and implementation, ADV_IMP.2. By EAL7 you are required to supply a complete formal design, ADV_TDS.6, and specification, ADV_FSP.6.

You then have a formal model of the security policy, the interface enforcing that policy, the design backing the interface, and a mapping from the formal design to the implementation. That is pretty dang exhaustive. I guess you could go further and demand a formal, machine-checkable correspondence between the implementation and the design?

Since you bring up that you have worked with the process, what products at EAL5 or higher have you had the displeasure of working on?
Oh man this is so cool, thanks!
In the GitHub issue, there is a mention of replacing rustls and Go's crypto library with OpenSSL. That seems like a serious security downgrade.
Pretty common for men with a college degree and / or wealthy to date women with no degree and / or no money. Pretty uncommon the other way around.
> shit hole states like BIMARU

Holy sh*t, you're supposed to reserve the rabid mask off racism for private spaces.

UP and Bihar were run by local minoritarian govts, mostly allied with the national minoritarian party. They ran criminal govts for decades, because India has a system with a 'weak center' and any fair but targeted retaliation would be seen as targeting specific communities.

The reality of things is that you can't run an underdeveloped heterogenous society like a homogenous rich country in the west.
> It's also hardly a billionaire.

I don't think the argument is that only billionaire heirs have a running start in life and access to significant family investments and connections.

Also, I think that we can agree that a Cuban national that is employed by Exxon as an engineer can provide way more opportunities to their children than your average cuban immigrant.
Wow, that's amazing. I'm know what I'm going to be doing on Sunday!
Surely someone could slot it in? :)
So many OSS communities are on Discord because so many OSS communities are on discord.

It got that way in part because things like Matrix were not ready yet years ago and things like IRC were too moribund. Individual forums require that everyone make a new account and have no network effect.

It also helped that Discord had a ton of users already via its original niche in gaming.

Now it has network effect, which means people will use it even if they hate it. Network effects are awesomely powerful.
Back in the 1990s developers were very happy with Visual Basic on Windows where everything was laid out by pixels which of course didn't make the most of every possible screen size but you could have a dev- and designer- UI builder that people understood. I've never seen devs or designers really be happy with any system for flexible layout.
@dang, please change the root link to the nitter thread.
In this case there is. You view the main page of notes and it shows the notes under “iCloud”. Create a local folder, move the notes over, and disable iCloud. Easy peasy
In the past I would routinely pay ticket brokers so as to have a better selection of seats, and to not have to deal with the "on sale" crush. Yes, of course I paid more, and I paid for the convenience, but I don't think I ever paid more than 50% of the face value.

I was a dedicated concert goer back in the day, having spent a lot of time in ticket lines. By time I started, "sleeping overnight" was pretty much over with as an hour or so before the sale, the staff would come out, hand out wrist bands, and then say "#123 is the front of the line" with the 123 being some (I guess random) number from the range of wrist bands they gave out, and everyone else would line up, with #122 wrapping around and being behind whatever the highest band that went out. The premise being there was no reason to show up much more than just before the onsale time, since your arrival time was no guarantee of line position.

Similarly, at one venue, they simply handed out numbers, low number wins. After we picked ours up, there was a guy on the edge willing to buy low numbers.

I was once first in line, but the tickets I got were underwhelming, which made me more cynical about the buying process.

Then, there was that one time, my poor wife, bought us some tickets. There was no way she could have known. There was no way anyone, really, could have known. It was a typical amphitheater layout, and she got the last row of the middle section. When you buy tickets during the mad rush of the opening sale, you just get what they give you, there's really no time to pick or choose.

Amphitheaters tend to be reasonably steep, with the seat in front of you lower, by, perhaps, a foot, so as to offer mostly unhindered sight lines to the stage. But the venue, at some point added a row of seats that were directly behind the row in front of it, with no offset, essentially offering NO view of the stage. It was just awful, and there's nothing she could have done about it.

In the end, I just learned to use a broker for most of the shows I saw. It was a much saner experience, I could pick seats, I could judge value, I could apply intangibles.

Thankfully, the bands I see today are cheap and unpopular, and the sports tickets I just buy from the stadium.
