uh...no, “solid state” doesn’t have competing popular definitions. Solid state means the state can be read or written without moving parts or gaseous components. SSDs have this property, hard drives clearly do not.
You would think that would be viable in San Diego but even there it’s not
Trees native to many areas have developed evolutionary countermeasures to fires. Trees native to many other areas haven't. Some trees have measures to recover from being eaten or destroyed by large animals, and often those measures work equally well if the tree was damaged by fire or even burned down completely.

Trees are such a diverse group of plants that it's hard to say anything about them in aggregate
Both products ended up becoming caught up in a race to the bottom. I have no insights how it happened. But I am fascinated that over time apps that work are “improved” and inevitably devolve based on this premise.

Except Hacker News. Go figure.
Reminds me of that scene in The Big Short where the price stayed constant and was not marked down, even though the world was collapsing around them. Heh.
Thanks for doing this.

On the off chance that someone with the means, knowledge, or connections to help sees this, I need stability - not money nor anything physical.

I need piece of mind. I need to have enough energy to be productive instead of being always in survival mode.

I was born in a place where I do not belong. I am not a cultural, a (un)theological, or even linguistic fit. I knew it from a very early age and so I left - 13 years ago... and have been on the "run" since. I've only gone back to renew my passport - physical presence being a requirement.

I bare no ill-will against any individual. Group-think is a powerful phenomenon. Perhaps the most difficult part of it all is being aware of what I shared above. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a little bit less "exposed" if you would.

I've traveled, I've volunteered, I picked up "side jobs" and I've learned. It's just that every time I manage to get the slightest progress towards stability, the waves come crashing down - I've learned to accept that as a fact of life.

"Move away from the waves" - Someone, somewhere.

I long for a simple life. A roof, just enough sustenance, and a basic connection to the internet. I have no desire for anything else. I have found my calling and all I need is just enough stability to be able to work on creating it - which I have been doing for the last 16 months, but it's immeasurably hard to allocate any energy towards it when I'm on basement 2 on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. I say this with no hesitation, but I would be 100% content supporting my existence and working on my calling for the next 10 years exclusively. I have found joy. I just need to eliminate the noise.

And so I find myself writing this, for reasons I don't understand yet. Stranded at an airport somewhere in the east of the globe as I have been for the last few months. I have gotten better at acting like everything is fine in public, but when the night comes, there's no escaping the fact that I have been "homeless". Homeless is such a strange word to write since I never really had a place that I can call home.

There's no doubt a price to pay for such privilege, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes, anywhere where I can feel "home."

Regardless of the outcome of this comment, thanks for creating a place where I can share a little bit. It's a bit of a relief to drop the façade even if just for a little bit. Who knows where life takes me next and this comment will certainly be an anchor, a landmark, and maybe even a new start.

I wonder if a cheap oled display could be updated fast enough to achieve a much higher resolution. It might work but could look worse since the space between radial slices would be much larger than the pitch of the pixels, most likely.
Americans are Constitutionally guaranteed a right to privacy in the home, among other rights, and that's what the NSA is hung up on.

The NSA spying on foreigners, who enjoy no protections from the Constitution, is part of its intended agenda.
Similar idea to Microsoft's Project Silica[0], though this is claiming much higher data density.

Were I Google or AWS, I would buy them out immediately. If only to deny the other from getting potentially cheaper archival storage. Or even to keep the rest of the market reliant upon tapes. Want long term data storage? Only the cloud has the real technology for that.

Oh good! I agree, perhaps some of it can be defined as a social good. I remember the idea that was posed of having government created social media. Something open source and with a transparent algorithm. I really can't see a downside if it's done well.

Dark patterns in UX design and how to avoid them
I use (Doom + some customisation) Emacs for development in Go and TypeScript. It's generally very good and sometimes frustrating – but usually fixable, and very much still worth the bother for me. I'm in a very small minority of developers using it at my work. I have quite a lot of the bells and whistles other developers have – of what I lack, I'm thinking mainly of the refactoring stuff in GoLand. Magit is the only alternative git UI I've ever liked. Evil is close enough to vim to satisfy. We have language servers and tree-sitter now.
It's good for a c or c++ project where libraries are very environment specific. But most modern languages have their own package/environment managers which makes Nix redundant.

My ears ring when I yawn. Does anyone else get that?
Yes, I've been using for about 2 years. It's kinda mixed, I suppose some things are better, and some things are worse when comparing to something like VS Code/JetBrains IDEs, but I don't think it gets in my way or makes me less productive. I've been using for PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript. I'm the only one using Emacs in my team, most seem to use PHPStorm or VSCode, but a couple of guys use Neovim. Finally, I don't think the editor gets in the way of collaborating in any way, so I guess it integrates well.
I was curious about this, and I joined a dev shop few years ago, I use a very crappy handmade emacs setup doing mainstream fullstack dev, and I don't envy vscode. A good vscode setup will make some things easy but you're still so far away from helping yourself. Meanwhile I needed to change something to ease my day (parsing some file and correlated with tests) and it was a few elisp lines away. I can reuse magit transient even so I have a contextual menu. And I'm a mediocre emacs hacker... a good one will fly at mach speed. Meanwhile my colleagues are clicking and doing things manually and slowly in their pro IDE.

WinCompose¹, or more generally, use of a Compose key² to type all sorts of Unicode symbols or really any character (sequence) you like. People are used to thinking that they mostly can’t type what they don’t see on their keyboards, but a Compose key provides a universal method to type a large repertoire of characters through use of mnemonics.

I use them and doing so saves a lot of time developing. Problem is that managers will complain that they are too simple. At least that's my experience working with "enterprise" consultancies
They did not control for these or countless other variables that could be confounding. You can read the exact study here [1]. This is just a general weakness in large scale observational studies. The reason the wine comparison is particularly apt is because it fits the exact same scheme. Studies specifically on alcohol demonstrate a million and one negative side effects with little to show for it, yet [shocking discovery] shows that a glass a wine day is actually beneficial for longevity? There needs to be an explanation for why.

And most often that answer is eventually found to be that [shocking discovery] was just reporting on a false correlation, driven by a confounding variable. It's the exact same here. There are countless extremely negative factors that being overweight weighs strongly into, yet somehow being overweight is good for life expectancy? There needs to be an explanation for why and, absent some revolutionary new discovery, by far the most likely explanation is a confounding variable.

And i'm sure they'll be very successful, just as they've been successful in stopping the dozens of outright fraud announcements I absolutely don't see nearly every day, which are not at all promoting all kinds of false products, false promises and fake services through my news feed while also not at all using deeply misleading AI imagery for their ad graphics.
Ahh yes. Totally forgot about crystal.

Crystal - A solid whose atoms (or molecules) are arranged in a repeating pattern. Crystals are found naturally or can be made artificially.

Someone should use Diamond for the next programming language, really like the wiki definition.

Diamond - is a carbon crystal formed under heat and pressure.
Exact same experience here! particularly, if I move my jaw backwards with my jaw muscles, the tinnitus would get worse. Never better, though. I do feel the same sometimes, that doctors are not listening hard enough to what we are saying. I've been suffering tinnitus for 20 years now, and it seems to be getting even worse. I really hope a viable treatment is found in my lifetime. It would improve my quality of life so much!

Yep same here, and I don’t have tinnitus. Sometimes I seem to get it temporarily though, for unclear reasons.
5. Too much ego to admit they've been wrong for years when they told Firefox advocates that there was nothing wrong with using Chrome, that the advertising corporation with monopoly power was actually benevolent and wouldn't abuse their market position.
I really wish data list was better, shipped it on an admin dashboard for something, and while it works fine in safari it’s a bit broken in several ways on chrome and Firefox, leading me to need to replace it with JavaScript
There's a rotating sphere at the top of the map, but part of it is black, and apparently you're not supposed to use it? It's just decoration?

You scroll down to what you think is the map, but it immediately gets covered by a caption, so you scroll down more ...

It turns out that downloads for the actual map are at the top of the page.
Agreed. The Spotify UI is bad in general, but this one especially. I’ve been using it for years and I still have no idea what I’m doing there.
Most distros have a live mode for the purpose of setting up the OS and to try the OS before using it. I personally like TailsOS which is geared towards anonymous browsing, but you can use it without even using Tor. You can do all the things you expect from any OS. File handling, viewing of media, etc
Unless so empowered by the state.

Most of them don't want to, and let the police and the bailiffs do that kind of thing for them in the relatively rare cases it matters, just like any other form of contracting or outsourcing.
This is normal, requiring an independent audit every time you want to do your books is just not practical. There is a certain amount of grift expected here, 10% or so either direction, it's not big deal. It is illegal though when you start reporting to the government on those valuations, and they get wind of you radically altering the valuations. Trump is in the middle of this fight right now, and he's not alone in getting in trouble for it.
IMHO preconditions and postconditions are a big win for Ada. I missed them in Rust, so wrote the Rust "assertables" crate, which provides runtime assert expressions for a bunch of typical cases such as comparing numbers, strings, lists, IO, etc.

Rust code to assert a runtime precondition or postcondition a > b then handle it as you wish:

assert_gt_as_result!(a, b) -> Result

Yeah, the standard advice is actually to run your kitchen faucet on hot until you get hot water, before you start the dishwasher.

I'm always rinsing off the bigger gunks of food with hot water anyways as I load the dishwasher, so it's hot already.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter that much. The main point is just, if you have hot water available, it's hard to see why you wouldn't take advantage of that.
The common statistics I've heard is 30% of household energy usage goes to keeping the hot water heater at temp. How much of your power usage is water heating?

The value prop of Sphinx goes down a lot if you're not using reST because you can't use the extensive catalog of directives, such as the ref directive that I mentioned in my first comment. If you must use Markdown then there's not much difference between Sphinx and all the other Markdown-powered SSGs out there. In other words there's not a compelling reason to use Sphinx if you've got to use Markdown.

From Sphinx's Getting Started page:

> Much of Sphinx’s power comes from the richness of its default plain-text markup format, reStructuredText, along with its significant extensibility capabilities.

You are (or were) renting your apartment, you never owned it. Those property rights are held by your landlord or otherwise whoever owns that apartment, you were just a tenant.

If you want to hold and exercise property rights, you need to own property. Renting a property does not mean you own it. It's as simple as that.
> Unless you’re on a Mac, or iPhone. Where you can choose between Firefox and Safari.

On iPhone it's all WebKit. Apple doesn't (yet!) allow Firefox to use Gecko.
I sometimes see them at trade fairs as an eye catcher. With the right background you can get a pretty convincing 3d effect out of them despite the "display" only being 2d
Sadly it suffered from high prices, and being extra tooling even on UNIX SDKs, until GNAT came to be.

I think the description of the cube game is ambiguous, and I initially misunderstood it. I'll start off by saying, no shade to the AoC people, and I greatly appreciate and respect their efforts. Just pointing it out.

The intended meaning is that in each game, a set of red, green, and blue cubes is taken out of the bag, replaced, another set is taken out, and so on until the game ends. I think the example can be understood in the meaning that all sets listed for the game are taken out and replaced as a group. That is, these are mutually exclusive subsets of the bag's contents. The example only shows games that are strictly valid or invalid for both interpretations. It didn't show a game that had individually valid sets but a sum of some color that exceeded the maximum. For example,

Game N: 4 red, 5 blue, 4 green; 3 green, 2 blue, 7 red; 2 blue, 8 red

would require at least 19 red cubes by my initially understood meaning, and only 8 red cubes by the intended meaning. The misunderstanding can be disproved from the part 2 description, but I was on part 1 at the time. The phrasing of the rationale for invalidating games 3 and 4 in the example perhaps leans towards the intended meaning, but subtly.
I completely agree, I hate that way of coding and would go for the concise version.

I wonder how many of these stories it would take before it starts affecting Google's bottom line.

I am excited by the durability. We need an archival storage mechanism that can last for long time. Hopefully, this will be cheap and come in smaller size for home use.

For example, backing up photos is annoying. Hard drives are unreliable, cloud storage can go away, and tape is expensive.
That's definitely much worse, both due to what you describe, and due to the fact that you don't know what the label on the other side says.
I use it, mostly for C++, a bit for Python, a ton of configuration languages.

There are dozens of us in the company, but only me in my team. The most popular editor around is VSCode.

There's not a lot of extra friction to use Emacs, the build system is well integrated, the debugger just works, the VCS is weird but the mercurial bridge is pretty good, and I always preferred using it in the CLI anyway.
Yup, this is exactly where I get to when I try and fail to get UniVerse.

What's the trick to making that form work? It won't accept my @gmail.com address, and I don't really want to use my work email address and potentially mis-represent things. Especially since my work used to use one of Rocket's products.

The worst offender to me is the ambiguous ui around creating a teams meeting for meetings created through whatever we are calling the outlook web thing these days. You don’t find out if you did it right until you have sent an email to your attendees with an erroneous teams link. And yes that is anxiety provoking.

Of course part of what makes it ambiguous is that there is a setting somewhere completely different which when set will add a teams link whether the slider is set or not.

If a tree lives on average for 200 years, and has a mortality rate of 100% in a forest fire, you don't need fires to be very common for adaptations to fire to be worth it. Just one fire in each forest every 2,000 years or so would be enough. 20,000 years should do too, but I'm less confident of this.

Was lighting more common? Probably not. Were forests bigger and less gardened to prevent spread of fire? Definitely. So for each tree, there was a much larger area of vulnerability to lightning strikes.
