The part that makes higher error correction even more pointless is that errors can only be tolerated well in certain parts of the QR code. If the position markers are damaged, a scanner likely won't even recognize that there is a QR code visible, which obviates any error correction. The article mentions this in the very last sentence/caveat.

It feels a bit like the error correction exists mainly so you can embed fancy logos in your QR code... Avoiding damage to some parts but not others seems unaligned with real world scenarios...
This is ignorant of Clausewitz's definitions, which no one has managed to supplant. It has nothing to do with emerging as the dominant power or getting average citizens any benefits.

"winning" the war means accomplishing your political objectives. Those objectives may change as the war goes on, and in the case of Korea, the objective became "keep South Korea free from North Korean domination." That was achieved.

It was unclear to MacArthur and he assumed it was "destroy North Korea, whatever it takes." That became NOT the US objective, when it became clear that China stood in the way of it.

In Vietnam the objectives were never clearly laid out, but "keep South Vietnam free from North Vietnam domination" was pretty clearly it. Thus, we lost.

Your other points are wrong: the first Iraq war's objective was to eject Iraq from Kuwait. Perhaps that goal was insufficient, but that was the goal the military undertook, and achieved.

In a round about way, I would suppose:

1. Having these documentation as webpages, with proper print CSS

2. SSG them into a bunch of HTML files

3. Serve them quickly with a web server (e.g., python -m http.server)

4. Run a headless Chrome, iterate, and print as PDF
When did people really stop smoking? Tobacco may have been supplying a pseudo Ozempic weight management effect while it was dominant.

1 in 50 obese people being able to escape obesity on their own is still tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

Telling people who've lost weight through willpower to just shut up is rude and unhelpful.

I lost 90 lbs through diet and exercise. When I say that others could do what I did - which is true for many - I often get people asking me for advice, which I give. What's wrong with that?
Ablation is one problem, fatigue is another.
Interestingly, accidentally making the soil too salty to support agriculture is one of the consequences of improperly managed irrigation over longish time scales, like decades to centuries. It's well understood now but I don't believe that it was to ancient peoples.

I don't know how this could be weaponized or if anyone ever made a serious attempt at it. But it's experienced as massive regional catastrophe when it does, and the cause is clear even if not understood. There are places in arizona and california where salt crystals visibly form on the surface of what used to be farmland: it's plausible this would have been seen in the irrigation agriculture societies of mesopotamia and the ancient eastern mediterranean. Certainly easy to make the jump to fantasizing/praying about it happening to your enemies, once you've seen or heard of it.
I had one when they were new. It was a good but underpowered product. The software was ahead of its time, especially with the FMV card which gave it digital video before DVD existed. Many of the games were famously awful.

In retrospect, it should be clear that Philips didn't have the company culture to pull off something like this and they quickly gave up.

> saying you're making tofu for dinner is interpreted ideologically in the rural US

Saying you're "making tofu for dinner" would be interpreted as a vegan/vegetarian dogwhistle by most rural Americans, rightfully so. I've made many dishes with tofu and meat for rural friends and family (without mentioning tofu at all), and they loved it, to the point of asking me where to buy it for their own dishes.
I did this too! Having no interenet at home I would take a box of floppy disks to the library every day and save articles on C programming, OpenGL programming, and the raw weather satellite images from the NOAA - I was trying to re-create the 3D weather fly-over I saw in Jurassic Park when I was 7. I agree - having that disconnection was ultimatly good because it made me think a lot for myself rather than just google a solution, it developed my fundimentals a lot.
My take would be that if the military company paid you for the commercial use right, then you have "sold" the software and yes you would be liable. If they used it in an open source compatible way (no actual license is stated), and did not pay you for it then no, you would not be liable.
My understanding is that wasm doesn't allow for stack switching yet. How does koka implements effects in wasm? Heap allocated stack frames?
If you did not sell the library to the military software company then no, it’s them whom are liable (assuming they did sell their software, that uses your library, to whomever had the nuke that went off) and not you.

IANAL but it seems clear cut to me: if you asked for money in exchange for your software (or to access to your software through an API or similar), or if you asked for personal information (in exchange for your software) then you’re liable, otherwise, you’re not.
It looks great. My main concern with Docker Hub images is what else is in the image that shouldn't be there. Not necessarily CVE issues, but just down right malicious code.

How do you identify what is a safe Docker Hub image?

Surely it's not just reputation of the publisher of the image.

> When picking fruit from a tree, It's usually best to start at the lower branches.

No, when picking fruit its best to pick it in the order it ripens, and as it does so, irrespective of position on the tree.

It is generally easier and requires less special equipment to pick fruit from the lower branches, hence the metaphorical description of simple tasks as low-hanging fruit. The metaphor (while it may also indicate optimal ordering for some other tasks) is not about optimal ordering for picking fruit from a tree.

Where does the exhaust from the biofuel plant go? If it doesn't go into a hole in the ground then the system is neutral, not negative.

Carbon negative means there's less carbon in the atmosphere at the end of the lifecycle. It seems to me that requires long-term sequestration.
I didn’t read the comment as trying to denigrate wind turbines. It says 20yr operation with 7-8mo payback which sounds excellent.

The dream isn’t dead.

This is what you get when you import 250k migrants a year but only build 50k houses a year.

Half the cost of a new house is taxes to build all associated infrastructure up front, rather start with a minimum and fund upgrades from council rates.

To all this add the trade union political party where all policy is aimed at increasing trade union control.

Currently our breeding stock can’t afford a deposit on a home but are forced to fund build-to-rent for other people.

Home loans are majority variable rate, non-recourse. 12% of every pay packet goes into a compulsory superannuation fund they can’t access until they’re 70, run by 50% trade union directors. These funds are investing in build-to-rent housing.

>I felt she was mentally sharper than before

Losing weight when body has extra fat to cushion caloric deficit can improve a bunch of indicators, for me it's eliminate acid reflux -> better sleep -> less fatigue more sharpness. Losing weight without much fat can do the opposite when body feels full brunt of deficit. Worse sleep, more fatigue, less accuity. I wonder with how accessible these drugs are going to be, if general productivity is going to crash leading up to summer beach bod weather as more people cycles on and off every year.
In the US, copyright is a statutory right granted by the copyright laws written by Congress. Congress' authority to make copyright statutes and patent statutes is dependent on promoting the progress of knowledge and inventions [1]:

> [the United States Congress shall have power] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

...

> Some terms in the clause are used in archaic meanings, potentially confusing modern readers. For example, "useful Arts" does not refer to artistic endeavors, but rather to the work of artisans, people skilled in a manufacturing craft; "Sciences" refers not only to fields of modern scientific inquiry but rather to all knowledge.[4]

Copyright is statutory law, meaning it must obey the constitution but otherwise can do anything. (Being an amendment to the preceding body of the Constitution, the First Amendment overrides the Copyright Clause where and only where the two parts conflict.) The Copyright Clause allows Congress to produce short-term restrictions as the means to fulfill a long-term purpose. Congress can add and remove from copyright, but both actions must be for the purpose of promoting the spread, development, and eventual unrestricted public access to creative works. Emphasis on both "eventual" and "unrestricted". In simpler terms, copyright is a means to ensure that the public eventually gets access to every creative work.

Copyright covers creative expression. Copyright does not apply to facts and ideas, nor does it reward "sweat of the brow" [2]. Patents cover implemented inventions, which are novel implementations of practical ideas. Patents do not apply to creative expression, nor unimplemented ideas. (Well, I think that's how patents are supposed to work. But software patents would beg to differ.)

Keeping Watch over the Oceans with Data Buoys
Back in the day I had a dual boot machine and was using a corner skin of Winamp on the Windows side and missed this on the Linux side.

So I started reverse engineering the Winamp skinning engine with the intention of making an engine that can run it on one of the Linux media apps. I did this by writing short programs and looking at the generated binary.

I had about 95% of it figured out when we had a robbery and the thief took the laptop I was using. By the time I got a new machine I had completely lost interest!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was using a well known VM that I just didn't know about at the time!

According to your position I should be sued.

Why should I be held liable?

Daniel Stenberg has a blog post somewhere about all the hate mail he gets over the fact that curl is bundled in some software. You don't think some litigious person won't attempt to go after him over it?

My family has personally impacted by a dumb lawyer trying to subpoena information incorrectly. Dealing with this was 7k in lawyer fees, covered by an insurance policy. Technically he could legally held for this terrible usage of the courts but it would have been an even bigger mess.
Yes, it's a material science issue. With stronger materials they would just make the blades longer because the power produced is proportional to the square of blade length (or cube?). Anyway, the blades will be at the limits of material strength (over a reasonable lifetime).

My company piles so much ill-considered Linux antivirus and other crap in cloud developer boxes that even on a huge instance type, the builds are ten or more times slower than a laptop, and hundreds of times slower than a real dev box with a Threadripper or similar. It's just a pure waste of money and everyone's time.

It turns out that hooking every system call with vendor crapware is bad for a unix-style toolchain that execs a million subprocesses.

Some blueberry farms and vineyards here in Oregon use large fans to mix the higher/warmer layers of air with cooler/lower layers, or “drain” cold air away (by blowing it straight up, it apparently doesn’t come back down). This keeps cold air from pooling in certain areas, which is what is needed to cause frost damage.

Here are some large mixers, which might be mistaken for small windmills. These are powered by propane (I think), which is what the tanks nearby hold. The heat produced is a bonus, even a degree can make all the difference: https://maps.app.goo.gl/d6UwmpPsYih5xkZD9

So while helicopters used to shake water off of crops can sound crazy, it’s literally a big mobile fan you can call in when needed to save your established perennial crop from much more expensive problems (like a disease epidemic, which now requires bacteria codes/fungicides instead of just burning some fuel. Which can make sense.

We also use helicopters to harvest Christmas trees. It’s too damn wet in the fall/winter to run most wheeled equipment up and down those horrible on red clay hills, which often have artesian springs temporarily form, resulting in clay mud that can grab and hold all land vehicles.

> Design iteration is typically a long tail phenomenon - new issues keep coming up as the system (car) faces new scenarios.
Even a high-resource prototyping program can only go so far with scenarios like - wear and tear/part fatigue, adverse environmental conditions, local peculiarities (e.g. regulatory requirements for uncommon configurations), unintended but common maintenance mistakes etc.

Which is why automakers typically recommends a maintenance schedule that catches the vast majority of potential failures before they occur on the road.

True, though understanding the mechanisms of ore formation is a substantial advance.

There's a critical distinction between the abundance of chemical elements within Earth's crust and how, where, and when they are concentrated. I'm not generally familiar with the topic, but of a few instances:

- Most iron ore is of biological origin, with so-called "banded iron formations" (BIFs) being largely formed in two episodes, ~3 billion and 1 billion years ago, largely by early bacteria.

- "Rare earths" aren't so much rare as unconcentrated. By overall abundance, these are fairly common, but because they do not form ores, they're found at low concentrations, and are often recovered as by-products of other mining activities.

Keep in mind that the issue of ore formation and its reliance on processes specific to Earth's geological evolution, including plate tectonics and biological activity, mean that prospects for mining on other worlds (the Moon, Mars, asteroids) are likely to face radically different circumstances. Then again, mining in such areas would also likely be focused strongly on substances considered generally abundant on Earth, such as oxygen and water.

> it's essentially a forever drug

Not necessarily. When you get to the target weight, you don't need to go straight from the dose you are on to zero, you can, and probably should, lower the dose little by little, just like you raised the dose at the beginning of the regimen. If you are at 2mg, you first go to 1mg, see if your weight is stable, then if it is, go to 0.5 mg, then 0.25 mg. In the near future there will be oral versions of the GLP-1 antagonists, to you will be able to fine-tune even more precisely the dose, for example, you could figure if you can skip some days.

The body has some "weight memory". But I heard this memory disappears after about 10 years. If you take Ozempic for 2 years, go in very low dose maintenance mode for 8 years, and then stop taking it, but keep an eye to see if you need to start again, what other dieting option offers you this type of choice?
