Prepping a pair for ISDN could involve removing load coils (very common in more rural areas) or “designing” the pair by removing bridged taps. Both of these actions improved the quality of the facility.
Also, if the facility ran through a pair gain system (or subscriber loop carrier) a reprovisioning onto a different card could be massively beneficial. I have fond recollections of the areas in rural Maine where the SLC mode kept my customers well below the maximum theoretical capability of their 56K modems, causing the normal complaints. Dialup was fun!
Something like 80% of university administrators are white: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/10/28/black-adminis.... The modern concept of “diversity” was created by white people. It is a framework the white people in charge of universities use to accommodate the demands of different non-white groups.

Besides, writing for someone from a different non-white group wouldn’t be any different. What context does a Mexican American have to understand my diversity statement? Nobody ever made fun of my school lunches as a kid. My diversity statement would involve leaving a third world military dictatorship under a level of paranoia where my dad at one point thought my uncle (a military colonel) had come to arrest him for political reasons. As a result I’m deeply skeptical about third world influences on American culture—after all, we came to Reagan’s America to get away from all that. Am I going to write about that? Obviously not. I’d have to write something shallow and performative.
Fun fact, this is also where the word “jazz” originates: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(word)

> "Jasm" derives from or is a variant of the slang term "jism" or "gism", which the Historical Dictionary of American Slang dates to 1842 and defines as "spirit; energy; spunk." "Jism" also means semen or sperm, the meaning that predominates today, making "jism" a taboo word.

> By now I think we’ve learned that products made in factories owned by PE firms should carry warning labels. They are proactively anti-quality organizations, focused on extracting the maximum cash out in the short term at the cost of long term value.

I'd say basically the same thing but from a different perspective. Outsourcing is used to simplify management, as it allows companies to shift away from building quality organizations into the easier task of using coersion towards external organizations to drive down cost and avoid any liability due to loss of quality. Outsourcing is a cheat code for managers, and one which invariably causes serious harm to the company while shielding any decision-making exec from being held liable for nuking the company.

> In case someone doesn't understand the normal convention: "+X" is "additional X", while "X+" means "more than X". And lately people keep misusing them

Tad embarrassing perhaps, but I'm 30+ years old, been programming since I was ~15 and I've never heard about this convention before. Maybe it's a locale thing, or is it universal?

Edit: Not sure why my question is being downvoted? Here is a example sign from Spain: https://imgur.com/a/YTODbtD

It says "2+" even though the meaning they're trying to get across is "2 or more", which means they're not following that convention of "X+" meaning "more than X"

So at least there is one agency, in one country, who also haven't heard about this convention. Hence my question, as it doesn't seem, from my perspective, to be universal.

Yesterday I realized that I can just copy an epub to a directory on my Kobo reader to the `root/<auhtor's name>` of the mountpoint in /media/t0mk/koboreader (on Ubunutu 22.04). It will show up in the list of books on the device.

For some reason I thought that uploading books to the Kobo reader was somehow complicated, and I only used Caliber to get books from laptop to Kobo.

I know Calibre has lots of other functions, but I didn't like the interface and I'm happy I don't have to use it, or any other application like that, anymore.

You are kind of stating the problem with individual approaches.

> There are far worse entities than HelloFresh that are still alive as of today

If these entities saw HelloFresh bankrupted with no prior warning and no option for recourse some number of them will clean up their act. When they see the first fine being tiny they will just double down because they know that they will get a warning before any serious action. And other entities that were following the rules will reconsider and start breaking them because they realize that the cost is tiny so they may as well get the benefit.

Basically there is some value to making an example of HelloFresh and showing that you will not get a warning, breaking the rules will not be tolerated. The first offense will be punished more than they have profited off of the crime.

I am playing a bit of a devil's advocate here. I think the correct position is likely somewhere in the middle. But it is clearly flawed if for each individual business their first fine is less than than their profits for doing the crime. Because that incentivizes every business to break the rules until they get their first "warning".

My 2014 Renault Traffic long box on wheels gets nine people and their luggage over 1100 kilometers on a single fuel tank... I don't understand SUV that weight double, cost double and only seat five people at half the range.

I'll hopefully keep it for at least a decade or two - it is designed for much more demanding tasks than the about monthly family outings, the holidays and standing idle the rest of the time while I commute with my bicycle and shop with my cargo bicycle.

I fail to see anything electric currently available that could replace that incredible efficiency. I hope that, by the time I'm ripe for replacing it, the technology and the market will have matured.

They also have an organizational purpose. Once an attack happens you can shift the blame onto the WAF.

I think about that watching all of these insecure guys struggling to park huge pickup trucks in a city, or simply stay within the painted lane markings.

Future?
I have been "taking" the MIT 6.824 (6.5840) distributed systems course, and the course is insanely good. (it is not in this article because this is a very advanced CS course.) You can get all the lectures including guest lectures on Youtube, you get labs with TEST SUITES, you get all the Q&As, you get exam questions AND answers. All for FREE. Perhaps the only thing missing from what an enrolled student would get is TA answering questions and discussing with other students or working on projects (and of course MIT credits), which is not too important for me. As someone without a CS background, the course is extremely helpful in getting into dist system.

All the material except video is hosted on their website. No registration or anything. You run the test suites locally to verify that you correctly completed the assignments. It makes you wonder what happened to Coursera, Udacity and many other MOOC projects that were very optimistic and enthusiastic but got worse and disappointing in recent years. This is how it should be done.

I tried Hello Fresh because of their "free" box promotion, and I have to say as a single person who lives alone, it was great to both have sensible portion sizes, and reducing the mental overhead of having to think about what to cook during weekdays, along the planning and shopping that comes with it.

It's nice not to have to eat Bolognese for 4 days if you make one, since beef mince normally only comes in 500g sizes and so on. I know you can freeze it, but you get my point.

That being said, I agree with the others that the recipes are quite simple, and once you know them it becomes just as easy to buy the ingredients at the shop and make it yourself.

Another disadvantage I've noticed is the amount of packaging, it can't be environmentally friendly. They ship perishables wrapped inside mineral wool with a non-recyclable plastic bag with ice, everything is in a huge cardboard box, there's tons of printed recipes and promotional codes printed on cards, and tons and tons of little plastic and paper wrappers for everything.

"I am not car aficionado"

This tells me that his level of understanding of the wide range of cars and features. Are their bad cars and bad UIs, yes.

However, as someone who has been driving for 30 years, cars are better in every way now than they were before (From a driving, efficiency, reliability and safety perspective).

The only thing that is arguably "worse" is self servicability. However this is a function of complexity that exists throughout all technology.

Also, these features that everyone on HN complains about.. they are being added because the general population wants them. There are very few people who would buy a car without any screens, ui or infotainment. You wouldn't save any money because a lot of this tech is required for saftey and would be bespoke thus costing more.
My outlook is: if you work in big tech today, whatever you're working on, in its final culmination, is just a means to clutter the internet with ads.
I saw this coming, and purchased a 2016 Subaru Forester as a durable car without any "smart features" and I am expecting to drive that until 2030, or until this "smart car" nonsense is over. Likewise, no smart devices at all; hell I write the software for smart devices and there is no f'ing way I'm letting anything non-local only be "smart" in my home. Our collective civilization is far to immature to not exploit smart devices against their user's benefit.

I love my minivan but it doesn’t entirely solve the size issue: a Toyota Sienna is 7 inches longer than a Kia Telliride (one of the largest crossovers) and only six inches shorter than a Ford Expedition (which is a solid example of a traditional truck frame SUV)
> Cars are getting too big; why are manufacturers pushing “crossovers” and SUVs on consumers and why are consumers buying them? I could write pages on this point alone.

I think this is partially a race to the bottom (or to the top, as it were).

When you're driving your low-riding sedan in traffic, if the car in front of you is an SUV, you can't see beyond it. If most cars become SUVs, you can't see two cars ahead almost ever. That's a crappy feeling - I for one feel less safe, less able to predict if an emergency stop is going to happen - so I'd be unconsciously nudged into buying a taller car myself.

Suppose I use Jim's birds crate, Sarah's noises crate and Hannah's shape crate.

If Hannah is allowed to write

impl birds::Goose { fn fudge(&mut self) { self.counter += 1; } }

and Sarah is allowed to write

impl birds::Goose { fn fudge(&mut self) { self.counter -= 1; } }

... Now what happens when I call fudge on a Goose? Does it increment the counter? Or decrement the counter? If instead the program is rejected because of the ambiguity, whose fault is the ambiguity? Sarah's fault? Hannah's fault? Jim's fault?

Yes officer, this one right here.

But in all seriousness, why? I would maybe find it tolerable if it was consistent, but most of my experience is that it ramps up to 48/60fps and back down to 24fps in a matter of seconds. It's jarring.
Minivans are super practical vehicles, with great engineering that get overlooked because they have a weird uncool stigma about them.
The video quality is actually impressive and the form factor is spot on, near future solution for ai assistance sure.
I once needed to haul a bunch of tile and my dad was out of town with his truck that I normally borrowed at the time. My grandmother offered the use of her minivan and I balked that there was no way it could handle the weight. We looked it up and it had something like over 1500 pounds of capacity which impressed me and I used it to get my tile. It was also quite comfortable for road trips. As you say though, they are not cool and so people will find reasons to dismiss them.

Sure - idea is you've got a 6×30 matrix of the 6 card attributes for each of the 30 cards, and want to know for each attribute how many other cards they'd beat.

{+⌿⍤2(∘.≤)⍤1⍨⍵}

{ ⍵} ⍝ single argument (monadic) function with argument ⍵
{ ⍨⍵} ⍝ "selfie" - ⍵ f ⍵ where f is (∘.≤)⍤1
{ ⍤1⍨⍵} ⍝ on each row (1 dimensional element)
{ (∘. )⍤1⍨⍵} ⍝ cartesian (outer) product of each row with itself
{ (∘.≤)⍤1⍨⍵} ⍝ ≤ comparison of those elements - produces 6 30×30 boolean matrices
{ ⍤2(∘.≤)⍤1⍨⍵} ⍝ on each of those matricies (2 dimensional element)
{+⌿⍤2(∘.≤)⍤1⍨⍵} ⍝ sum the columns

leading to:
{+⌿⍤2(∘.≤)⍤1⍨⍵} ⍝ compare each row (⍤1) to itself (⍨) and count (+⌿) how many cards that beats

That make sense?

Cars and driving has only become safer and more reliable while the cost hasn’t exactly gone flying up. To me it’s actually quite an incredible success story of regulation dancing in harmony with mass production and capitalism.
