Two years ago on our summer holiday we were driving in our camper van from northern Italy to Chamonix through the Mont Blanc tunnel. We were surprised to encounter a similar passport check, before entering the queue to pass through the tunnel.

Last summer I was half way from Amsterdam to Berlin in my van when I remembered I had forgot my passport. I am an American citizen with a Netherlands residency permit, and I remembered the experience the previous summer so I turned around and blew my first day on extra travel. I passed through 4 countries on that trip and I never needed my passport.
I spent a couple of months last year learning q. When I went back to it this year, I realized it would take significant effort just to refresh my skills. I now program for fun in gawk.

Read my message again, I'm not saying 'just don't do that'.
Toxic by Britney Spears is basically built on secondary dominants and tritone substitutions (i-VI7-II7-V7 becomes i-IIIb7-II7-IIb7), so they definitely have their place in pop music too. Whether the composers thought about it that way, we can't know, but in any case what matters is whether the bass line sounds good.
> Unless there is a paper trail like email from an exec saying something like "we need to close this store as an example because they unionize", then there is no way to prove wrongdoing.

In my area, it didn't take a paper trail for Starbucks to get a smack. Several stores in the area were unionizing or considering unionizing.

So Starbucks removed the cushioned anti-fatigue floor mats from a bunch of stores, declaring them a trip/fall hazard.

Employees talked to each other and discovered that they'd only been removed from a few stores, not all. You can guess which.

Employees told the NLRB who asked Starbucks to explain why the mats weren't a trip hazard in non-unionizing stores.

The mats returned quickly.

Same for the most part. I'm venturing into the real world, as it were. Have to have a goal in mind that interests you and then pieces come together.

So far I've restricted myself to ~12v batteries because I don't fully understand the safety procedures required for high voltage applications. Eventually it's something I want to get into as well.

I'm talking about how the RP2040 and the N100 are interconnected. With an UART port and also an USB port. Someone mentioned the USB port for software updates but maybe both UART and USB port can be used for communication between them.

While the conclusion looks like a good general guideline, the logic is flawed. There are things that are beneficial (or even necessary) in appropriate amount that are bad in larger dosage: resistance training, cardio, sauna, sulforaphane, food in general, fasting, even water..

Some of it works due to hormetic effect.

I also had this problem and one thing I found useful was to create a distinction between reflecting on something and referencing it. Writing things down helps me think, but it doesn't mean a note will be worth reading. What I began doing is creating a short summary for every note. That way, I only ever reference the summary. Reflections are for thinking, summaries are for referencing.

thankfully, the genre has been dissected so there are games like revolution that focus on the warring armies aspect, and games like sim city that focus on the building aspect. and then there are factory games, which is a whole genre unto itself.
My experience involves really well funded research areas in e.g. Oxbridge, sometimes better funded than their US counterparts I have interacted with. So I don't think its only about funding, but how funding is allocated. EU funding has a winner-takes-it-all structure. A few groups get enormous grants and the rest get nothing. Ironically, these groups have questionable productivity. Whereas in the US, e.g. NIH has lots of small and mid-sized grants that are suitable for a junior academic.

Junior faculty openings also exhibit the same trend and are much more common in the US. Among all people I have met in EU Academia throughout these years, only one person managed to progress to a faculty position. All others left Academia. Quite brutal, that figure should give policymakers some pause. In contrast, I know a few US academics that moved from PhD student to assistant and associate professor positions.

Exploiting postdocs without any promotion opportunities in sight is so common in EU that many countries are passing, or have already passed, laws to limit postdoc length. However, without more junior faculty openings and permanent staff scientist positions, I am not sure how this is going to work out.
Few notes:

- the author essentially discovered a limited version of org-capture templates, being limited by the platform itself;

- what happen when, not if, Obsidian development stop?

The above are not critics but suggestions by someone who have tried many notes solutions having felt the power of taking notes, and have finally choosing Emacs because notes tend to be personal, so not really useful to share, and tend to last for a human lifetime, so they must be with a platform that likely exists even 50+ years in the future. Having notes as mere text do help but it's not enough because while you can still read your notes without the tool you normally use you are way too limited to properly operate and there is no guarantee other tools using the same markup can simply read the same note base issueless. A simple example: Zim and Dokuwiki share the same markup, as a base, but if you use some plugins many part of your notes will not work. Typically some very central parts like TODOs management. Finally there is the integration issue: Emacs is an ecosystem so I can integrate anything in my notes, a mail-search query like an "inbox note" with a link to my unread mails, some tasks to be done today, some other "code-to-be-executed-on-click links" etc. It's all easy due to a shared platform made to end-user programming. Modern software do not have anything like that. Try Zotero to integrate references in notes. No matter the tool you use to take notes outside Zotero, the integration will be damn limited. In org-mode I lost the Zotero plugin for quick import but anything is integrated, I can do anything and I have a third party integration and app "availability in 50+ years risk" less.

It's not about Emacs but about a classic Desktop paradigm, the OS as a single application, user programmable, full exposed and changeable easily at runtime vs a set of individual component semi-isolated, with very limited IPCs in the middle. The former it's hard to craft and might be fragile but is extremely powerful, the letter have to many destructive events and it's terribly limited to use.
It's not quite so black and white, since poisons are generally defined in conjunction with their dose. Eg "The dose makes the poison".

With alcohol, we don't really have a dose, like we do with eg vitamin A, which is toxic beyond a certain level. And as the article states, there are social benefits with drinking alcohol which could, if the dose of alcohol is low enough, offset the cost-benefit analysis of drinking.

> But he points out that it doesn’t consider the social aspects of moderate drinking. “It is healthier to socialise without the need for alcohol, but the benefits of spending time with others is still likely to be greater than the risk from the consumption of one to two units of alcohol,” he says. “The challenge being perhaps limiting alcohol intake in this way.”

And socialising is one of the controllable variables that can reduce the risk of dementia: https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(20)30367-6/full...

But also: excessive alcohol is a controllable variable that can increase the risk of dementia! https://www.thelancet.com/article/S0140-6736(20)30367-6/full...

It's a complicated balance.

I don't know if async, AV, NTFS, or what, but some years ago we could demonstrate reliably that running a "big" maven compile on a lot of .java files was faster in Linux than Windows.

The kicker... Linux was running inside a VirtualBox VM inside the very same Windows host.

This could also be some variance in the `javac` command between OS's, granted.
Why base it on ethnicity? I'm not sure the original peoples would have focused on that rather than, say, culture, for the in/out grouping. It's my understanding that the ethnic focus came much later with the rise of nationalism and even later with genetics.

Consider that these seafarers would have habitually mated with people from Britain, Ireland and even the Maghreb as we see here. Do you think they would have considered the offspring of such pairings as less Viking?

For my that culture is essentially gone and it's basically appropriation no matter your DNA.
Good call. I noticed that my battery wasn't charging fast enough. Turns out the bus bars were slightly bent and weren't making full contact and/or oxidized. Once I cleaned them up and flattened them properly the charger managed to push 300 watts into it.
Defaulting on debt is the fastest way to turn the US into a third world country. Banks would fail, since they invest our deposits in long-term assets including treasuries. Companies typically store their cash in treasuries and money markets, so companies would go under (or have to issue more shares under duress), crashing the stock market. Retirees would stop receiving Social Security payments, and retirees' nest eggs are normally mostly bonds.

The US would piss off other countries who lent us money, who'd come knocking with a country-scale baseball bat demanding their money. But two thirds of that $35T is owed to Americans. There'd be a good chance of either a civil war or global war. We'd likely lose our status as the world's reserve currency, devaluing the dollar and leading to inflation.

Nobody would trust the government enough to lend them money, so they'd have no choice but to print money to pay expenses at this point. So, we'd have inflation either way.
Does consuming sugar really stop the ability to do intensive brain work?
I think they just had to make some compromises for price and form factor. There are a lot of other boards out there based on the N100 or its close friends. You might like the ODROID-H4+. https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/

The advantage of the Radxa X4 is that you can buy it instead of a Raspberry Pi: similar price, similar form factor, similar GPIO options via the on-board RP2040.
In the UK where I live it went to over 250% of GDP after the world wars but life went on and it reduced to about 50% over the following decades, and then bounced back a bit. https://articles.obr.uk/300-years-of-uk-public-finance-data/...

I mean not ideal but the 50s and 60s were quite good in the UK.
Here in Norway we have this deal where oil companies can get refunded a significant fraction of their expenses searching for oil if they didn't make a profit[1].

On the flip side, once they start making a profit, they have to pay a similarly high fraction in taxes.

This is to incentivize searching while also letting the profits benefit the majority.

Had a shower thought if such a model might have worked on the pharmaceutical market as well.

Sounds like Darwin will solve the problem!
I guess you could use figured bass notation. It's more complex than modern chord notation because it tells you which inversion to use, and it notates secondary dominants (e.g. V of V, which you'd write simply as D7 in jazz notation if you're in C). Personally I know too little about it to use it effectively and therefore I would stick with modern chord notation even when talking about classical pieces.
Alcohol can have large benefits for helping people to bond and socialize. The article itself pointed this out. Of course people can socialize without alcohol. But I think it's plausible to argue that alcohol in moderation can improve and deepen the experience.
Yes, this may be relevant:

In 1934, David Hilbert, by then a grand old man of German mathematics, was dining with Bernhard Rust, the Nazi minister of education. Rust asked, “How is mathematics at Göttingen, now that it is free from the Jewish influence?” Hilbert replied, “There is no mathematics in Göttingen anymore.”
I agree, that's essentially what I said. Entry-level faculty positions and funding are much more common in the US.
Virtual Apollo Guidance Computer
The purpose of this project is to provide an emulation of the on-board Apollo guidance computers, along with some ancillary items needed to make the emulation do something interesting. "AGC" stands for Apollo Guidance Computer. The AGC was the principal on-board computer for NASA's Apollo missions, including all of the lunar landings.
Believe it or not, once you start hanging around in management circles, you'll learn there are modes of communication that despite not involving direct exchanging of words between two individuals, nevertheless, conveys information. In fact, people are selected for the management class many times for their lack of acknowledgement of said mechanisms, as it gives everyone else the cover they need to play ignorant when, having toyed with the levers of power causing something bad to happen, they can play the ignorance card.

So no. They are not asserting that everyone has a secret meeting at midnight. They are pointing out the incentives and dependencies that lead to a pathological state; one that creates a hell of a pot of institutionsl inertia against a WFH paradigm shift.
Yes, there are ways to distinguish between them as a user, for example you can check to see if your browser plugins are available. I also went through some of the most popular iOS apps and created a list of which app uses the correct SFSafariViewController vs the potentially malicious WKWebView.

Pantone is not the immediate answer to my problem because my image is photographic. Pantone's strength is that you can mix a few colorants from a library to make a number of precise spot colors many of which can't be rendered in CYMK. It has dayglo, metallic and all sorts of amazing things.

My vendor (Spoonflower) takes sRGB and will sell me a set of color swatches with hex code labels that I can use, like the Pantone book, to calibrate color by eye or colorimeter, etc.

Spoonflower will give me a %10 commission if somebody buys my product in their marketplace, but the product is expensive, a luxurious fabric that costs $20 a yard costs upwards of $50 if it is inkjet printed. For all this the only material investment is proofing, prototyping and showpiece production.

If I really wanted to make money though I could find another vendor who, I think, could set up a run of 10,000 yards on an offset lithography press. The litho process is more tolerant than inkjet so the shop can mix up Pantone colors as spots.

My photo is mostly monochromatic and might come across well in spot color so it might be a choice to pick a color I like out of the Pantone book if I was working with a larger run print shop. Problem is I'd have to put up quite a bit of money and then warehouse the stuff and be really certain people will buy it or I can make something out of it.

My photo is monochromatic and might do OK if I thought a Pantone chip was close to the object color I could do it in spot but this time I'm going to do it by sRGB chips.
I suspect at least half the problem is that their recruiting and filtering practices are utterly broken. Like, you go for a job that requirements wise you seem like a perfect fit for, then get rejected for seemingly no reason? And then the job you meet maybe 1 requirement for offers an interview? While a bunch of others just ghost you altogether?

I'm not sure how CVs are being filtered out, but it feels like it's completely broken to the point of absurdity.

It doesn't help that the interview process is often ridiculous, and feels more strenuous than the actual job. Like, I've had take home tests which were basically 'build a minimum viable product', of the kind that would take a good week or two of work at the actual company. Or times where a very junior job was throwing Hacker Rank type puzzles at people for a job making WordPress sites.

Meanwhile, if it's not too hard its too easy, or completely divorced from the work required, or run on a platform that's so paranoid that any sort of window change flags the user as a cheater or the interview process takes weeks on end...

Is it any surprise companies are struggling to find employees so badly? How many great engineers are going to put themselves through this sort of crap?

Your opposing a tax cut does not make it a "scam".
Of course there are many ancillary activities that could exists outside dense cities as well, because hey, if you like a restaurant you like it both in a big city, a small village and in isolate countryside. What's change outside the city is that you typically know the restaurants around by name, so you call them directly not ordering food via some apps. Such restaurants tend to be familiar activities not large enterprises owning many identical places in the world. You also need dentists both in the city and outside, the sole difference is that instead of having 100 dentists in a small area you have one per small village (for instance) but the number of people needed them does not change, so their business does not change much. Long story short ALL business existing in a city can exists outside except those of big actors who need the city scale to exists.

> there's no reason why people want to live conveniently near other people.

I've left the big city for the Alps and well... I have MUCH more social life now than in the city, simply because being spread means being much less choosy, so instead of isolated ourselves in a bubble of few friends ignoring the rest of the crowd, we almost all meet almost anyone else. Instead of going together somewhere to consume a service like going to a shopping mall you go together in nature or in some friends home for a home party. A much more social activity alone.

> some people aren't city people, and some people are. trying to forecast, thinking that everyone's just like you isn't a winning strategy.

That's not the point, the point is IF the modern city is sustainable and my answer is no. We can't evolve it, there is no green new deal future for dense cities, while there is a foreseeable future of crescent poverty, issues, unrest and so on. Personally I dream a starship to travel the universe, but it doesn't matter because I can't have it. The point is what we have and what we can or can't have. Giants need the city, but we can't have it in the modern time, so giants will disastrously fall in a decade or so, probably with a world war in the middle, because current economical model can't keep up. Current society can't keep up.
I seem to recall an announcement a while back about it having been sunset.-
> I would do and say things I wouldn't have were I not inebriated

Although I mean, isn't that the point? If your social anxiety was inhibiting you from eg going to a social event, asking someone out, or speaking in front of a lot of people, wouldn't alcohol reducing your inhibitions be a good thing?
Summary:

> Visa’s management expects payment volume to grow at “a similar rate to Fiscal Q3 2024”, and cross-border volume to grow slightly below the Q3 growth rate.

> This would mean 5% YoY growth in the U.S. (and a lower growth rate for “card present”, or in-person, volumes and a higher growth rate for e-commerce volumes), and double-digit growth in Europe, Latin America, as well as the CEMEA region. A further slowdown in the cross-border volume growth suggests a headwind for e-commerce growth.
