> The outlook calls for an 85% chance of an above-normal season, along with a 10% chance for a near-normal season and a 5% chance for a below-normal season. See NOAA definitions of above-, near-, and below-normal seasons. The Atlantic hurricane region includes the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico.

The updated 2024 outlook calls for a 70% probability for each of the following ranges of activity during the 2024 hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1st through November 30th:
17-25 Named Storms
8-13 Hurricanes
4-7 Major Hurricanes
Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) range of 150%-245% of the median
Yeah, there have been a few attempts that didn't work out. It's definitely a challenging area. Maybe with better tech and user feedback, we'll see more successful implementations in the future.

Pretend what? Samsung already had the parts infrastructure. They added another parts customer who had less to offer them in return.

I looked back at the partnership announcements, and that's really all Samsung was offering: parts and repair guides. It also happened at a time when right to repair was proving pretty popular so there's the obvious PR aspect to it.

The iFixit post just makes it sound like Samsung wasn't interested in subsidizing their repair parts, and their construction methods haven't changed much in 2 years.

Since time immemorial we have been coming up with euphemisms for “I need to shit”.

I actually find this one minimally objectionable. I am a meat robot and I must attend to biological necessities. This is a convenient abstraction for my working relationships.
In a pinch like that I'll just put "brb" in the chat, turn off mic and camera, and take the laptop with me.
Thank you for looking into it in such detail based on an unrelated thread!

Cloudflare seems to consistently make all types of network improvements behind the scenes, so I’ll continue to monitor for this “connection reuse” feature. It might just show up announced.
During a peacetime economy. Don't forget during war time, your factories are being bombed. You're pre-war numbers don't indicate what your war time numbers will be. China's manufacturing tends to be focused around the easter coast and it's rivers. The USAs is spread throughout the country. The USA is pretty good at setting up factories. My understanding is China is more into single large factories. The USA is a net exporter of oil (that greases the entire machine). China is an oil importer (not good when you country is being sieged during war).
I have a five-step ritual.

1. Mute myself.
2. Double check I am muted.
3. Ask, "Can anyone hear me?"
4. Ask, "Can anyone hear me?" again, louder.
5. State, "I'm about to urinate."

Increasingly embarrassing failsafes, but not as embarrassing as broadcasting a bathroom break. I'm happy that I never needed anything past layer 2.
Inspiration. People work hard on things that inspire them. That inspiration leads to advances.

Interesting! Openscad seems quite versatile for your needs. It's great that you can use it alongside Blender for specific cases. A real Openscad scanner would definitely be a game-changer.

If America had the same covid death rate as Canada, nearly 700,000 less Americans would have died of covid.

Alarm by the Epidemic Intelligence Service officers is not "alarmism." It was an accurate forecast that the system was going to fail, which it did, then killing roughly 10 times as many Americans as the Vietnam War did.
One word. Time warps.
I agree with what you've said before, but I still usually wait for the meeting to be over when working from home. The fear of accidentally unmuting, or not having muted correctly to begin with, is too high. It's an expected value thing: The failure case is unlikely, but when it hits, it hits awkwardly. (While also not being the end of the world, which factors into me saying "usually".)

It is however unequivocally true that I much, much prefer going to the bathroom at home.

What in the world is going on with Google search.

I Google'd "#FF00FF" to see how bad it was but was instead returned with a rather pleasant blue. Confused, I tried again. I got a completely different color. Same exact search. Different color. I've done the same, simple "#FF00FF" search and I'm up to five different colors with none of them being magenta.

How do you fuck something so simple as a HEX color code up?

(Hilarious story by the way. For a hot second when I saw the blue come up I thought maybe I was colorblind, too.)

The USA would fight a standoff siege war with China, not a close in war when drones come into play. As to missiles, that's why the USA has developed the (chinese siege weapon named) Rapid Dragon system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Dragon_(missile_system)
> ... and slide my pointer/finger off of the button into a safe space before I release

Exactly the same. Now I do agree with Carmack on this but, like you, I've been "trained" that the action happens on release and so, unconsciously, over the decades, I've come to fix misclicks by not releasing inside the button but outside the button.

I don't use the mouse that much but this change would still be problematic for me.

At the very least if an UI implements that, then the UI should show that the button is released immediately (even if the mouse button ain't released), to make it clear the action registered.

If a company provides some utility while still making a profit, wouldn't it be morally better to let it be?

Killing the company immediately hurts its employees, its customers and reduces the income available to the collectivity through taxation. It even also hurts its stakeholders in the long term, who could have earned a steady dividend for many years to come.

I don't care much about Red Lobster and other chain restaurants, as I'm not even american. I simply believe we should coerce markets into optimizing for utility instead of short-term profit, which is their natural behavior.

I'm not particularly skeptical of "ethics/morality as a field of academic research". I am skeptical of people who teach in a field without being particularly skilled in it. I mean a person who teaches communication without being an above average writer or speaker. A person who teaches business without experience in commerce. A person who teaches film making or video game making without a professional career. They could be good theorists, I just have had too many personal experiences with professors without much real world experience teaching me things that didn't stand up after I had professional experience.

It's a trait of people with cluster B personality disorders.

Traits like: lack of empathy, lack of remorse, bloated self-image, need for admiration, deceiving others

I've also personally dealt with a couple of people like this, people that ran small charities, and volunteered in community projects.

They are attracted to the perceived moral virtue that these institutions bestow.

Not to disparage that majority of people in these institutions that are trying to do good work.

Once you get close enough to these people to hurt you, you become highly attuned to it.
I love the concept of re-invigorating html as the only source of truth for document layout -- and I totally see this being productive for documents that don't need complex design.

That said, I don't love the default design choices here -- colors and "polish." I'm not a professionally trained designer, but I've hand rolled enough software that users eventually complained about to sense when something "feels off" compared to what a really good designer creates with a background in color theory, information density, gradient shadings etc.

If the author is here, have you considered leveraging the aesthetics from other FOSS projects like bulma or tailwind, or collaborating with a professional designer? I know jgthms is sometimes on this site.

Nice idea. I recommend defaulting to Top Rated. For better or worse, it makes the product look more mature.

Also, there's an issue with click propagation on the sort drop down. I had to click between Top Rated and back a few times because the click kept causing the underlying post to open. FWIW, this was on mobile.

Do you have any evidence of Microsoft doing similar spying tactics?

If you don't trust your computer's supply chain, (hardware, software, internet, services,) you shouldn't use it. I don't trust Microsoft any more or less than any other vendor, and that includes open-source.

With automatic updates, anyone (hardware vendor through drivers, software vendor) can backdoor you and grab all that information. We're even finding backdoors in (gasp) open-source software now.

I've also been enjoying NotePlan. I stumbled upon a system I like for managing my work in Obsidian at work using some plugins, and then found NotePlan is basically an app designed around the exact system I cobbled together, with some added quality of life improvements.

This is the most obtuse comment I've read in quite some time.
I'm actually happy to hear that you claim people were tired of it, but I just had no direct experience with people discussing how they should end. It just was never discussed in any conversations this statistic of one person experienced. Now, something like current election campaign, it is discussed non-stop. It's not like there were protests like in Vietnam to end the war. So maybe my sensitivity settings were set to the extreme??

My old headset would disconnect at random. It had its own physical mute button. At some point, Teams decided to switch microphones for me without telling me. So when the headset came back online, Teams continued using the built in laptop mic. Fortunately I wasn't doing anything embarrassing.

Someone asked where some background noise was coming from. I said "not from me, I'm on mute". And several people said "no you're not!"
Yeah, imagine if an ICE car made all its fluids from one other fluid, and that other fluid ran dry.
This article[1] is like a bit biased, but I think it adds the right context with quotes from those involved. The key paragraph here:

Curiously — and this may say it all — the Reagan administration also allowed Carter’s financial incentives promoting renewables to expire around the time that the panels were removed. Tax credits established in 1977 for homeowners installing solar water heaters ended Dec. 31, 1985, just months before the White House roof coup d’état.

That's because in the 60s and 70s artists were much more likely to write their own music and develop their own sound. Today artists are mostly just performers who record labels hired because they were pretty and can be autotuned to sound okay and their songs are the product of committees that buy and then assemble a few hooks written by hitmakers and Swedish people before handing those hooks off to producers to finish, while the performer might get provide some token input or come up with a few lyrics as long as they work around the mentions of whatever products corporations paid the record label to include in the song (https://www.wired.com/2008/09/products-placed/). That's obviously not always the case, but it's often not too far off. I'd recommend reading "The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory" for some ugly details

It doesn't mean that that kind of music isn't any good, but it's often entirely commercial from the very start which makes it hard for artists who had little if anything to do with the creation of those songs to care about "selling out".

There seems to be nothing about performance and how to deal with file count within a directory.

Anyone who tried to naively store millions of files in a file system folder realizes at some point that listing files becomes horrible, there's no GUI tool that will handle that gracefully, and even on the CLI this is a very serious roadblock.

It's still fine for accessing files straight by name, and there must be ways to read each file sequentially, but the concept of folder merely becomes an arbitrary namespace and not something to handle a whole group.

The other obvious option is to shard the mail folders to ensure there's no more than X files in each folders, but that becomes pretty complex IMHO.

At the end of the day, a database is needed somewhere down the line.
If it's one of those fizzy tablets you put into water then magnesium carbonate and potassium carbonate work too as long as they contain citric acid. They will react (the fizzing) and create the citrate.

Another source of potassium is "low sodium salt". This is often the cheapest form of potassium you can easily get.
I mentioned this because of the ongoing anti-Samsung thread. I've always avoided Samsung but caved on the folding phones. I haven't really tried out any other phones lately, but I really like their buttons to disable the microphone and camera for this. Not sure if it's Samsung or stock Android at this point. Also I just got an update their adaptive battery protection is something I have been wanting.

Putting old concrete into roads loses almost all of its value and is a pretty atrocious form of downcycling; notice that the linked article is literally about “disposing” of concrete, not re-using it meaningfully. Most of concrete’s primary use case is as a structural material in buildings/infrastructure - beams, columns, slabs, etc, and we unfortunately have very little by way of re-using concrete structurally, partly due to demolition processes, documentation, rebar etc etc. While pre-cast concrete is potentially more up-cyclable, again, it’s not really designed for disassembly, re-assessment, etc, and there are very few actual use-cases/projects that have done anything of the sort, though some very cool research is being done on this at places like MIT and EPFL, including novel pre-cast concrete systems specifically designed for dis-assembly and re-use.

Part of what makes the article and methodology linked here interesting is that it a) uses waste heat which b) is already theoretically able to come from renewable sources and c) can be used to to support manufacturing of structural components further upstream in the lifecycle of cement/concrete.
