Although I use markdown (and similar) for memos, I turn to latex for longer and more complex material.

A lot of this is just because latex has been a standard for publishers in my field since I started (approximately a thousand years ago).

When writing for journals, latex saves a lot of work. Publishers provide latex templates that ensure that articles have a prescribed format and scope of content. Being able to see a good facsimile of the final published form is quite handy for authors. Oh, this paragraph is going on for over a column -- I'll break it up. That sort of thing.

This still applies when writing for longer things, such as textbooks and course notes, but another factor (for me, the larger one) is that latex (more properly, the tex upon which latex sits) is a programming language. Macros can be written to do lots of things that would be a pain if done manually, and once a macro is written, altering an entire text is easy. I did this in a book I wrote a while back, writing macros to colourize text that would be indexed, add margin notes for things I wanted to return to, categorize paragraphs by function, and so on. I could turn all those macros on and off by uncommenting a line. This is really quite helpful in writing something that takes months to years to complete. Frankly, I use this macro approach even in memos written in markdown. Inside almost all of my markdown documents, there are latex commands.

As for reading things on a small screen, which I guess is really the topic here, I must admit that this is something I rarely do within my own field. Sure, I do it if reading one of those 10-km overview articles in Science or Nature. But when it comes to my own field, things are technical and demand long periods of study. I don't try to read this stuff on the bus or in a coffee queue. I need time (hours or days) and I need to be able to take notes.

Another reason I prefer PDF is that it is fixed. My brain puts information into a sort of spatial framework. Somehow, if I look at a paper I first read 40 years ago, I still know what information is on which page, which of the diagrams summarizes the whole thing, and which of the citations is key. This may be a flaw in my brain functioning, but I just don't find these sorts of memories forming when I read content that has a plastic format, with paragraph breaks changing if I adjust my view. But maybe this is just my age talking, I suppose.

Sure, he makes money and many open source devs do not (directly), but the energy is very similar.
It’s funny, I ported my number to Google Voice, two years later I got kicked off Zelle because VOIP numbers are banned. So how do I send and receive money? Sign up Zelle with email instead. Yes, a VOIP number is a security threat (never mind Wells Fargo has known everything about me financially since forever), but a random email address is A-OK.

Pals blatantly took inspiration from Pokémon (and other things as well) but I don't think they are copies. This smells like a smear campaign. Given Nintendo history it's safe to say that they would've sued long ago while the game was in development if they could.
Source? Of the cases I've seen, it was pretty clear that the farmer was doing it intentionally, or at the very least was letting it happen "accidentally" but trying to speed it along.
That's unnecessarily rude, and completely uncalled for.
I don’t know Beeminder. But if they launched 10 years ago, they are not a case in point. By now, they probably stay afloat despite feeling unfinished, because they have established marketing channels and word of mouth. Would the same service with the same presentation be as successful if they launched today? Hard to tell.
What is great is that water births have gained in popularity in the US.

What is embarrassingly sad is many hospitals/birth centers just have a whirlpool-style tub which is not large enough for a woman in labor to maneuver to a (as most as it can be) comfortable position.

The best we encountered so far was just a very large basin, perhaps four feet by three feet. Everything else had weird bumps and such jutting into the water that is obviously designed to reduce water usage for a whirlpool bath.

The best would be the dedicated large round tubs that are just small pools: then there is no difficulty getting to the position you need.

> The pixel is not great software-side (it has a sort of wallet garden, without a pixel phone most features aren't available) but ergonomically it's perfect.

Really? Most reviews I read seemed to indicate the Pixel Watches work fine with any recent Android, contrary to Samsung's watches that require Samsung Android phones for most features.
Hello Fossil,

I agree --- smart watches are kinda dumb when your phone is only inches away and does everything the watch can do only better.

Less dumb would be a memory watch. Take any old watch, add a gigabyte of "reliable" flash storage to it and strap it to your wrist for essential backups.

Think about it. The data is as safe as you are.

If something goes bump in the night, all you have to worry about is your own personal safety. And even if you should die in a horrible accident, the data is likely to be recovered along with your body.

The only way authorities will invest time and effort recovering a backup disk is if it strapped to a body.

I make my own version of this by modifying the wristband of a cheap Chinese watch with a 3D printed holder for a micro-SD card. The watch itself is really just a diversion (my phone has the time too) to prevent people from questioning why it is strapped to my wrist.

I'm sure you could easily make a much nicer version of this that people would pay good money for.

Data never goes out of style.

“In 638, Palestine came under Muslim rule with the Muslim conquest of the Levant. One estimate placed the Jewish population of Palestine at between 300,000 and 400,000 at the time.[87] However, this is contrary to other estimates which place it at 150,000 to 200,000 at the time of the revolt against Heraclius.[88][89] According to historian Moshe Gil, the majority of the population was Jewish or Samaritan.[90] The land gradually came to have an Arab majority as Arab tribes migrated there. Jewish communities initially grew and flourished. Umar allowed and encouraged Jews to settle in Jerusalem. It was the first time in about 500 years that Jews were allowed to freely enter and worship in their holiest city. In 717, new restrictions were imposed against non-Muslims that negatively affected the Jews. Heavy taxes on agricultural land forced many Jews to migrate from rural areas to towns. Social and economic discrimination caused significant Jewish emigration from Palestine, and Muslim civil wars in the 8th and 9th centuries pushed many Jews out of the country. By the end of the 11th century the Jewish population of Palestine had declined substantially.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora

You make it sound like they were treated like equals and then only discriminated against many centuries later in a decline. But really, history shows us that they were initially treated well for a few years as they had just been conquered (a classic historical power solidification move) but were then treated terribly the entire rest of the time under Muslim conquest.

The comment you responded to is about profit, not market penetration.

You can get a lot of market penetration by having a series of companies spin up, ultimately fail to become profitable, and collapse. Especially with a market that's incredibly price conscious.

Regardless a failed rocket launch is a different matter from the Hannibal Directive which is deliberate lethal attack on their own hostages. The official directive was retired in recent years but is still practiced per Israeli reporting.

> The Hannibal Directive (Hebrew: נוהל חניבעל; also Hannibal Procedure or Hannibal Protocol) is the name of a controversial procedure that was used by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) until 2016 to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers by enemy forces. According to one version, it says that "the kidnapping must be stopped by all means, even at the price of striking and harming our own forces."

> Israeli newspapers have reported that the IDF was issued orders echoing the wording of the Hannibal Directive during the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. The IDF was ordered to prevent "at all costs" the abduction of Israeli civilians or soldiers, possibly leading to the death of a large number of Israeli hostages.

This company sells rack-mounted LI batteries and inverters that are sufficient to build a Powerwall-like system (in nice enclosures) at a significantly lower cost [1]. I think Tesla is banking on wealthy customers and installers wanting the premium product. The problem is that (unlike cars) it’s not likely that brand name is going to win here, which means long term this product category is going to be a race to the bottom.

Offering a product for free or a significant discount with another product where a company has a substantial portion of that market to get a foothold and kill off competition in the free-/cheap-product's market is called "bundling" in anticompetitive regulations.

Indeed, this is exactly what is happening with Teams compared to, say, Slack (which is generally regarded as the better team chat) or Zoom (better video conferencing).

Has it ever been good across the industry? I'm not a big gamer but have been playing lots of retro games lately, including old text adventures, and most of it reads like really terrible fan fiction. Back when CD drives were still new tech, there were many experimental attempts at creating interactive games that were more story telling of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" type than video games with a unifying plot. Not that most of those stories were great but it did seem like for them it was story first, perhaps because the tech was still primitive enough that the story had to make up for it.

A terrible thing to do to yourself is learn what moon phases are approximately visible at what times of day.

It's clearly not on the list of things to fact check!

I got a trash can with a lid for all my small parts and a shop vac nearby to clean out the catch tray of the laser after I cut something smelly.

I also upgraded my exhaust fan to make sure nothing got into the room. I got a variable speed DC fan so that I can leave it on a low speed after cutting something smelly to help the smell go outside until it dissipates.

I had the most issues with smell when I was using cheap wood from home Depot. When I switched to real Baltic birch the smell wasn't as bad so I think the other stuff had chemicals in it.

Acrylic still smells bad but it dissipates quickly.
Because they’re designed for a common denominator audience.

It takes exceptional skill to make a multi-layered script that talks at various levels. It’s rare enough that we’re shocked when we encounter it - perhaps in older kids movies, maybe in things like the Lego movie.

It’s much easier to rewrite various similar stories with various tropes mixed in. Not to say these are not enjoyable! Many times you just want to see the same story different this time.

Think of all the romance novels pumped out that have the same basic plot, but the people who read them demand more and more.
Imagine a disc spinning clockwise, the top edge is moving to the right, the bottom is moving to the left, and the right edge is moving down and the left edge is moving up.

By mounting that disc at an angle and changing which edge makes contact with whatever rests on it (your foot in this case), you can change the direction the disc's rotation moves it.

I was just setting the environmental expectations the American phone network. The real disruption was the move to data networks. Architectural I think AT&T needed to set-up an out of band channel to control the network separate from the data channels.

I once had a Cabbie in NYC tell me about Citibank getting the first Fax Machines installed in NYC. They connected the Manhattan Office tower with the Queens office.

IDF's own reporting calls the amount of friendly fire casualties on Oct 7 "immense". Your interpretation is more conservative than IDF's own analysis and reporting on their own evidence - that's suspicious.

Furthermore there is Israeli reporting on the practical use of Hannibal Directive during Oct 7, which is deliberate killing of military and civilian hostages. Israeli reporting claims that the use of this directive may have been responsible for a "large" amount of hostage casualties.

Despite official recognition of the "immense friendly fire", IDF also reports that they refuse further investigation because they believe it would be "immoral", so there is deliberate obfuscation at play.

>Israel’s army on Tuesday admitted that an “immense and complex quantity” of what it calls “friendly fire” incidents took place on 7 October.

>The key declaration was buried in the penultimate paragraph of an article by Yoav Zitun, the military correspondent of Israeli outlet Ynet.

>It is the first known official army admission that a significant number of the hundreds of Israelis who died on 7 October were killed by Israel itself, and not by Hamas or other Palestinian resistance factions.

>Citing new data released by the Israeli military, Zitun wrote that: “Casualties fell as a result of friendly fire on October 7, but the IDF [Israeli military] believes that … it would not be morally sound to investigate” them.
There is at least one bug bounty available for all open source projects.

If that was truly something that made a lot of difference to the economics and the market as a whole, you'd expect to see most indie games coming from such countries. Do you? I don't think I do.

Costs obviously make a big impact on profit, but the truth is indie games likely have pretty fixed costs wherever in the World you choose to make them.

A decent games artist is going to cost the same wherever you're based, because they can sell their services from anywhere to anywhere. The market rate is not local. Your $140k is what you're paying if you, or they, live in Jacksonville, Johannesburg or Juba.

And it's not like those clipart libraries give you a huge discount if they noticed you're in a country with a terrible GDP/capita compared to the US. If their rate is $20, it's $20 for the guy in Seattle and $20 for the guy in South Sudan. The only difference is for the guy in Seattle its a couple of Starbucks trips, but for the guy in South Sudan it's 2 weeks median income.

If anything, starting an indie game setup in a poor country is going to require you to be significantly richer compared to your neighbours than if you live in a suburb of Seattle, Marseille or Glasgow.

You're therefore more likely to have the cash reserves to invest in indie game development if you are living in a richer country.

Yes, it's true that once you get the thing built you're going to be able to sell at first world rates, but getting the thing built is not an equal playing field for everyone.
