Yeah, it was similar for me.

You need to unsuscribe from every newsletter and also any "reviewers" on youtube if you follow them. Seriously, this is not an issue just with legos but also tech in general and pretty much any hobby. Youtube reviews hurt A LOT.

It's extremely rare for a youtube reviewer to not recommend the product, and even more so when they always have affiliate links for you to buy said product. They will get the sets before they are released and they're literally just doing marketing. For them, even buying the sets can be tax-deductible so even if they're really passionate and whatnot... it costs them much less than it costs you.

Also, even if they said "hey this is probably not really worth the money" they will point you to another product that is and that's pretty much a mortal trap for people who have spending problems. In today's age, the right products are all there and it's very easy to be convinced when you're already kind of in a vulnerable state.

Another thing you can do is to set yourself a realistic spending budget for it. And I do mean realistic. If you're spending 3000 dollars a year on it then it's not going to be realistic to go to 500... but it might be realistic to go to 1500-2000 and so on. Maybe you can tell yourself, hey, I'll buy one big set, two medium sets, and five small sets. It might be easier to stick to that.

Anyway. I moved countries so I can't buy lego anymore without it being a huge expense; but it did kind of become a problem for a few years for me.

This is very cool, I am building a tool [1] to record 1H of screen at a time (to help developers debug errors while doing exploratory testing) and I always thought that I could add a layer to turn my 1-hours-brain-recording into a baby Rewind.

I have tried Rewind in alpha/beta, it was cool, but it was never something I felt like I needed. That being said things change, and maybe I'll change my mind when it's part of the OS in a seamless way, but it's sketchy for as long as it's not offline: let alone the privacy consequences of running Rewind ;)

Does it miss the internet and all these other protocol. Obviously www the one way link won. But email, ftp, bulletin board, AOL, news group, … all serve along side for quite awhile as www is very consumption and server-centric oriented, not exactly the original idea of internet. Even mp3, file sharing, peer to peer network are all important.

In brief whilst important www might be a mistake, a cancer to the original internet (even ARPANET idea of survival of nodes …).

That, and larger plants. Things like concrete containment vessels have costs relative to the surface area of a hemisphere, while power output scales with the volume. But the big driver was economies of scale. Building multiple copies of the same or similar design means you can have longer production runs of steam generators, pressure vessels, turbines, etc.

commercial airliners don't crash into mountains any more, but small civil aviation craft do with some regularity, particularly when sightseeing and entering into or flying "up" canyons, ravines, etc. The optics can be deceptive, and the sides close in, and, running out of room, they can't turn tight enough or gain altitude quick enough. Also, at a higher altitudes and in hot weather, the less dense air provides much less lift, and the propulsion is less effective, and higher altitudes and nice weather is generally the meeting place for flatlander sightseers and mountains.

I've been watching a lot of plane crash youtubes.
> The jump from the Phoenician abjad to the Greek alphabet was very minor.

According to who? Linguists call it the invention of the alphabet and think it highly significant. Why should I listen to your claim?

> As an aside, “alphabet” is quite clearly named for the first two letters in the Phoenician abjad. Though the Greeks did take the same names for their first two letters as well.

How do you know that? If the Greeks used the same first two letters, that still doesn't mean they didn't use those letters, and not they etymological ancestors, as the basis for their word.

Also, isn't alpha a vowel, and thus not in the abjad? Maybe the Greeks re-purposed alpha?
Heh I feel you on this one - it’s not a fun contest to “win” but I also find the “I have bad eyes” complaints funny when I have had 5 retinal detachment surgeries, leaving one eye completely blind. My good eye has had one RD surgery, glaucoma caused by surgery, cataract surgery, and is now facing macular degeneration. I get monthly eye injections to halt new blood vessels from growing. I basically live at the retinal specialist.

I hope your eye troubles keep at bay for many moons to come!
A rather poor argument from the psychologist. If you open any newspaper or magazine, every week/two issues there are recommendations/suggestions/new ideas on how to improve sleep or why we sleep.

Similarly, if you open any newspaper or magazine, every week/two issues there are recommendations/suggestions/new ideas on how to lose weight. But I wouldn't say that a new diet book that recommends eating only watermelon for 3 weeks to lose weight is a positive influence, "because people were now talking about and thinking about losing weight".

Well, the explanation that people are getting exactly the dirt-cheap shoddy crap they demand is correct.

You can buy a nice burr grinder from a company that not only sells spare parts for at least 5 years after they stop selling the model, but who also shares youtube videos on how to disassemble and repair the grinder. Mine is 11.5 years old and I replaced the central gear when it stripped around year 7 or 8, after grinding 2-3 coffees a day, probably 150+ kg of coffee, for that time. However, it wasn't cheap, and people appear not to care. Baratza, btw.

Don't we, as a community of developers trying to make the world a better place and build software with lasting impact for humanity deserve better representation? Shouldn't we ask if the positions of these two extremely problematic organizations is really the path we should invest in?

Like, I contribute to and support open source projects, and I release my own code currently under permissive licenses, generally. But when the core freedom is "able to be used for surveillance capitalism that pays for billionaires to build bunker mansions to survive the apocalypse they're creating", while we villainize the companies actually developing the code who try to open source their code and still let their developers eat, we have a set of "freedoms" that are actually chaining us all to our doom.

This is... misguided. Anyone who has spent any time in large institutions knows that you get enough good people together and bad things happen.

Is there a single example of an institution which behaves better than the folks who are part of it?

Would the NYT have a weaker case if ChatGPT had not spit out a large chunk of verbatim content from the former's Wirecutter?

If so, that suggests that the problem isn't scraping the data but the failure to make it into something new. That is, ChatGPT failed to "generate" and simply "plagiarized". That seems eminently fixable by OpenAI.

If not, then this is a case about the legality of scraping, and everyone and his dog does that, not least Google.

If the problem is actually about scraping paywalled content, then that is yet a third thing, and I can see OpenAI having to negotiate hefty fees with the NYT, Reddit, and any other site that has high quality content.

Will be interesting to see the amicus briefs on this one.
Unix was probably a great IDE by the standards of 1975, because literally every design decision about Unix was made based on the criterion of convenience for a 1970s programmer. Those decisions haven't aged well: fork() sucks, lack of completion-based async I/O sucks, ill-thought-out file, socket, and process APIs riddled with TOCTOU bugs suck, two-letter YAFIYGI commands suck, untyped pipes suck, and don't get me started on C or its standard library.

It turns out, however, that we haven't really strayed far from the "Unix as IDE" approach, as in order to turn Vim or Emacs into an IDE the typical approach is to just use Unix primitives and make the editor into a sort of super-shell that orchestrates pipelines of processes consisting of Unix command line tools. And that's fine.

Time has marched on, however, and we have been the lucky recipients of not only better IDEs than Unix, but also things that are better than Unix at what Unix was thought to do well. PowerShell, for instance, is a vast improvement over Unix command-line environments with its ability to operate over typed pipelines of objects. We should be expanding our horizons beyond what 1970s programmers found convenient to implement and embrace new ways of thinking about, writing, testing, and debugging code.
These look fabulous.

This is actually another key concept that I've been mulling how to write about. There is a direct path from docs to support and into your product cycle. The information that flows through there should be critical to informing how your next feature set you develop is selected. Obvious, painful rough edges should be fixed.
That does not make sense though. Excel is a programming language like Python. It is simply a pure functional reactive programming language that unless you do cursed VBA stuff has no side effects except returning the result of the calculation.

And the spatial name space is far more than a visual similarity. It’s a rare, core design feature!

Basically the only people who are familiar with the advantages of a spatial name space are excel pros. You should really be advertising how it expands on this. Not claiming there’s no relevance.
Wait... so because you don't want to be infected because you're using an out of date OS, you load OS patches of questionable provenance, but you're not worried about that since nobody would bother to infect you anyway? Why not skip a few steps there and just run an out of date OS?
IANAL, but I feel like everything has basically been patented these days. The wording in many is so vague.

They would probably be thrown out in court, but that takes time and money. Small startups have very little of either.

I am really just pointing out that we need patent reform and better enforcement very badly.
I've given up on docs. The only thing that really works are typesystems and, to some degree, inline tests/documentation that lives next to the code and is compiled there.
> NASA does interesting things, sure, but nothing that the private sector couldn’t do in half the time for 1/10th the sticker price.

This is one angle to view the problem, yes. Shrinkflation is the quintessential symptom of the problem, from the perspective of the consumer. But it's not just "how do we raise the price per pound without raising the price per unit."

Another angle to view this from is that saving money is jot worthwhile. People who get paid in dollars need to spend them quickly, so on offer around them is a plethora of goods and services that they can spend it on. Nobody saves for stuff so that stuff better be cheap, I'm sure the ideal price for an item is some function of the median weekly paycheck and apartment rent.

Viewed from yet another angle (and IMO a more informative one if you want to get at what exactly is going on here objectively) you see that inflation has a general corrosive effect on value and quality. The velocity of money increases, and the value of holding money decreases the longer it is held. So businesses trying to maximize profit have to go from getting people to spend their money to getting their money first. They have to have fast turnaround time for that capital. They have to pump out as many units as they can as fast as they can, those units have to degrade quicker than the money loses value or they can't make a profit. This creates a culture of unscrupulousness, the phenomenon compounds and speeds up over a few generations. Inflation hollows out and cheapens everything, including the culture of your society.
I don't know, maybe because it's easier ?

I have to agree. If you're interested in supporting Intel(x86/64), it's open source, and you sound like you have the hardware to add support for and test on Intel.
My friend has a Fellow grinder and I honestly can't stand it. It takes about 5 or 6 iterations to get all the grounds out. It looks sleeker, and would match all the other Fellow stuff I have, but is too frustrating to use, even if it were free.

As to your Encore, if you feel like a cheap upgrade you could replace your cone burr with the M2 from the slightly more expensive Virtuoso model. It's a drop-in replacement, however, you will have to take your grinder apart.

Every device running an old OS is vulnerable, so it's better to throw the dice on an aftermarket ROM.

Edit: Though to keep things fair, it must be said that that particular argument only really applies to old devices. If you have a new device (or rather, one still getting regular security updates from the vendor) and a trustworthy vendor, a person could reasonably argue for staying on the stock ROM.
Unreal that this very misleading branding was allowed to continue.
It doesn't mean you could. Also, if your chance of something is 1 in a billion, does that meet any meaningful definition of 'possible'?
My main problem with CR is that when I'm looking for an appliance, it typically recommends a slew of models that simply are not available anywhere. They are all discontinued or out of stock, and they have not tested the models that are widely available.

Perhaps they are more worth it for cars, though that is not a frequent purchase.

CR is inexpensive enough to be worth it for a homeowner - there is always something breaking that needs replacing - but not as worthwhile as I would hope. I often wind up buying based on poor signals such as brand name and online ratings.

Thanks for this. I am loosely familiar with mbsync and OfflineIMAP, used to use OfflineIMAP with mutt but it had a lot of bugs and crashed often.

In this article https://anarc.at/blog/2021-11-21-mbsync-vs-offlineimap/ the author observes missing emails with both of them.

And I thought neither tool supported upload, am I mistaken?

Is simply using rsync to transfer the mail folders from one Maildir-based email server to another a viable approach?
