You misunderstood my point. I was doing an analogy between three cases (deafness, baldness and death) where a real solution does not exist or if it exists, it is imperfect or not available to all. For example, hearing implants aren't a perfect solution and won't help much in cases of extreme hearing loss. I imagine they're also a bit inconvenient. Similarly for baldness, hair transplants aren't always an option due to cost or insufficient quantity of hair in the donor area.

So what happens is that those who aren't eligible for a solution often tell themselves that a hypothetical solution isn't even desirable at all, as a way to cope. This is where I was making the analogy with people praising death in these threads. My contention is that they're just rationalizing to deal with the fact that death is indeed inevitable, for now.

By "hate" what I really meant was that a subset of those who aren't eligible for a solution will "hate" those who are, because they are a reminder that their situation isn't actually desirable. I really should have wrote "deaf community hating on people with hearing aids or bald people hating on people with hair transplants."

In your case, it seems you acknowledge that an actual cure would be nice, but such a cure doesn't exist right now. I feel similarly towards death. I'm not about to do monthly "young blood transfusions" to gain a year or two of life but I acknowledge that a real cure would be nice.

PS: I absolutely meant no disrespect and understand that it's perfectly possible to live a good life as blind or deaf person.
Government-imposed regulations are primarily put in place to artificially grant government actors influence and control (mainly the ability to forcefully extract and misappropriate real wealth created by the private sector) that they wouldn't naturally have in markets that are otherwise functioning perfectly fine without this interference.

Markets like healthcare, housing, education, and transportation tend to be early targets because they're large and widespread markets that are fundamental to everyday life, and thus prove to be very lucrative targets for government actors to exploit.

Sometimes, this government-imposed regulation is then co-opted by non-government actors who manage to further abuse it to their advantage, making the situation even worse.

"Market failure", "protecting the consumer", and similar phrases are simply the fake justifications used to try to make this unwanted and unjustifiable government interference more palatable to the public at large.

Government actors are inherently parasitic; they don't create real wealth, and are only able to siphon real wealth away from those who do have the ability to create it and then use it most efficiently. Thus, government interference inherently results in otherwise-fine markets becoming less-efficient and worse off, leading to what is then wrongly misinterpreted as "market failure".
Lingvist only tells you how a word/sentence is written and spelt. It only explains what the single word & full sentence you are looking for means.

But sometimes it would be useful to know what a different, already shown, word means.
deeks - "look" as in "Gie’s a deeks / Gimme a look" caught my eye.

In East London my parents' generation sometimes said "gissa dekko" aka "give us a dekko" aka "give us a look" - but the dekko there came from Hindi, "dekho" (देखो) meaning a casual look or a look-see.

Assuming a US perspective, welcome to a world of unlimited corporate political spending (Thanks Citizens United). If you stick your head up to try to bring such a bill to the table expect your opponent next election season to come with a massive PAC-fueled war chest.
You can also group tabs in the vertical view but also create separate „workspaces“ (to distinquish between different projects or even private <> work).

i3 , the tiling window manager, has had this for many years.
The thing i found most interesting here is the brightness enhancing film:

https://newhavendisplay.com/blog/brightness-enhancement-film...

Basically, it's a collimator: it takes light going in all directions (eg from a lamp), and turns it into light all going in one direction.

What does it look like to look through? Do objects appear brighter? I suppose they appear brighter but also smeared out?
A more robust reusable plastic straw would be more acceptable than single use disposable plastic straws for people who require them. IMO paper, wax coated or not, is acceptable for a disposable scenario.

There are also your steel/aluminum/titanium, glass alternatives, I find those potentially dangerous (i don't want to stab the roof of my mouth or crack my teeth against a metal straw and i don't want a glass straw breaking off in my mouth).

Perhaps someone else will come up with an even better alternative (a stiff silicone?)

I don't think anyone is saying that we should ban 100% of all straws which are made of plastics, they are more concerned with decreasing the amount of 'single-use disposable' straws made of plastics.

You need a straw if you're wearing lipstick.
I don’t like how the article recommends stainless steel straws. Those are a great way to cause damage to your teeth/mouth, especially for kids.

Maybe we should treat straws as a wonderful accessibility product that most people shouldn’t use regularly.

If you’ve ever bought a Starbucks iced drink you know that really the only beverage the company sells that needs a straw is a Frappuccino. All those years of selling straws and all Starbucks needed to do was put a properly shaped/size hole on the lid.

The real lesson they need to learn is to add the right UI components. Apple did that right. There gradually added and styled tab bars, sidebars, etc. It didn't come on day one. If they can do that maybe we get a framework that actually adds components necessary to build good desktop applications.

Microsoft attempted the same thing with Windows 11 and it turned out to be a functional disaster. All platforms have their own legacy default workflows that regular customers are used to, that cannot be screwed with for "aesthetics".
The language is a big problem. They can get quality immigrants, but convincing those quality immigrants to learn German is a big task. A lot of people would rather go to US with all it's uncertainty than stay in Germany due to these issues.

>It's a bit like how TV used to be a shared cultural experience because it was broadcast at the same time before streaming. Non 21st century TV show has hit (or will probably ever hit) the kind of numbers you saw from Seinfeld, MASH, Cheers and the like..

I feel like tree style tabs made sense when monitors were just a little narrower and so you wanted to make use of unused real estate.

These days I want to split my window in half and have two windows open at once, e.g. code editor & browser/shell/etc.

In general, I prefer having a search interface to my tabs, previously with Tabli, but now it's built into Chrome with Ctrl-Shift-A. I regularly have dozens of tabs open though.
However in Cologne, to my big surprise, trams, despite running in the streets and in a real maze of crossings underground, manage to always be on time when I use them. S-Bahns on the other hand, seldom are...

Stadtbahns use the "U" sign for U-Bahn when only part of their network is underground; I guess this is to avoid confusing riders.
>I start feeling dirty and it gives me some incentive to clean up.

I wish I had your discipline, I just open new browser windows and start more tabs there
I've experimented with constructing arguments as actual DAGs before here: http://concludia.org/ If you are strict about logical force and premises leading to lemmas and conclusions, I think it works pretty well.

There's a lamport paper lying around somewhere that also talks about representing arguments and proofs as DAGs.

Perhaps I need to tell my wife, she uses lipstick and no straws. What would be your source for this?
> strict serializability doesn't imply idempotency

I think we're probably getting at the same thing, but I do want to clarify a bit. A Strict Serializable history, like a Serializable one, requires equivalence to a total order of transactions. That's clearly not true for etcd+jetcd: no possible order of transactions can allow (e.g.) a transaction to read from its own future. It's totally fine to submit non-idempotent transactions against a Serializable system: systems which actually provide Serializable will execute known-committed transactions exactly once.

Plenty of other databases pass this test; etcd+jetcd does not. This system is simply not Serializable.
We do have a pretty extensive greyhound network in the US (it was recently bought by flixbus, but I think they're keeping the greyhound branding). But it is a totally different experience than long-distance buses in Europe.

I've taken a number of flixbuses in Europe and they were decent. Most cities had some sort of bus terminal where you could sit and grab food before the trip, the bus was clean, the advertised power outlets worked, seat assignments were respected, and they'd make stops at places with clean restrooms.

I've also taken a few flixbuses in the US west and wouldn't recommend people do that. The cleanliness is poor, the on board amenities like power outlets/wifi are frequently broken (or don't exist), paid seat assignments have never been enforced, bathroom stops are disgusting, and there is a lack of order/safety on board. And the bus terminals simply don't exist - in Los Angeles you stand in an uncovered parking lot outside the central jail and there is no notification of which bus goes where. Everyone just runs (literally) up to each bus as it arrives, preventing passengers from disembarking, and asks the bus driver where it's going, and then tries to cram on immediately because that's the only way to avoid getting an undesirable seat.

Safety is a huge issue on these buses. I conduct most of my life on foot and by public transit in southern California and there's some sense of safety from knowing you could avoid/move away from people acting dangerously. But on the bus you're stuck, and I often arrive with my nerves frayed by the behavior of other passengers. They don't publish stats on this but my friends who have taken these buses also reported they also feel extremely unsafe, with one telling me they were on a trip where a stabbing occurred.

I regularly take the Amtrak from San Diego to LA to see friends and family, and during the track closure last year I tried flixbus a few times. After 4 tries, I simply stopped discretionary travel to LA for the better part of a year because it was such a bad experience.
Why don't companies come out and tell the truth rather than pretend to be doing something though? Like, straws in some countries end up disproportionately in streams, etc., but not in country X, moreover, plastic straw alternatives are worse due to a, b and c.

Sounds like effort is best spent on improving those processes, then, rather than worrying about personal consumption that doesn’t move the needle.
I don't think this is a problem with just Microsoft. The majority of the hires at Microsoft have been TC optimization Leetcode folks who really aren't good at programming, but are great at optimizing for the FAANG hiring pipeline. Basically they are gamed.
Even if it's something you want, if there is competition in the space, then since Internet ads work on a real-time auction system, you can expect that the winning bidder is the entity that has the most available margin to make. i.e. it is the worst possible deal for you the customer. So e.g. when you search for something on Amazon and see sponsored results, you can expect that those are the worst possible deal.
I agree. Ironic isn’t the right term because while these groups are often tied to different national identities, they often share white nationalism, conservative Christianity, etc. and have been able to agree on a common set of enemies. This would fall apart quickly if they had to govern together but it’s fairly effective until they run out of enemies.
Yeah, I'm also very excited for cosmic, and a solid modernize toolkit for the longer run future as well.
They are intentionally preventing transparency. The operational side of DB knows where the trains are, and the infrastructure to communicate it transparently to consumer side is intentionally hampered. And so information I'd either delayed or not available.

Data Center Cooling Innovation: A Critical Imperative
Passing down skills and ideas needed for the mission to survive and succeed over multiple generations is a very hard task.

A group of skilled and motivated people who spend a small percentage of their lives on a ship, is going to be very different from a group that is trapped in a small town for generations.

My estimate would be that the mission to succeed is going to need 10-100x more people on generational ship compared to a transport ship. (million vs tens of thousands.)
> I don't see this kind of attention given to figures like Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, or Warren Buffett.

All three work hard to stay out of the public gaze.

For example, Tim Cook kept his sexuality under wraps for decades until he was outed in the media, Warren Buffett almost never criticized sitting officials and living in Omaha means he's out of the media gaze, and before Jeff Bezos stepped down as CEO he was notoriously private about his personal life (and is more than making up for it post-CEO life and thus shielding Jassy)

Lots of billionaires are notoriously private - can you name the top 50 richest Americans without resorting to Wikipedia or Forbes?

Being old is not limited to how you look. It’s also how your world views change, how your personality evolves, etc.

Also you didn’t address my almost-no-children point. That one I think is the stronger point. Looking at my children grow older day after day is the thing that bring me the most joy and sens of meaning in my life.
Rust isn't really new or untested, though. I issue with RIIR isn't Rust so much as the act of rewriting, which carries inherent risks.

I think the temptation to rewrite also reflects how messy and unworkable we let codebasee get— sometimes that impulse is more about the pain of working with the existing codebase than anything else.
>Drinking through a floppy paper straw is unpleasant but leads to positive sentiments around environmentalism for environmentalists

Which is all you really need to know about why they did it.

The vast majority of people dispose of their trash correctly, and if you're worried about your own plastic waste ending up dumped into the Pacific via third-world recycling then doing it on-continent would result in cleaning up more than just straws.
Having looked at the test suite already, I know enough to know that I don't understand it well enough to be that guy to do this. It's for this reason, I'm personally going to pull out the popcorn and see what happens over the next few weeks.
rqlite creator here.

That's clearly a mistaken attitude because both Consul and etcd also use a single "Raft group" and they are production-grade software.

Ruling out a piece of software simply because it doesn't "scale horizontally" (and only writes don't scale horizontally in practice) is a naive attitude.
Have you tried Simple Tab Groups? It's a similar concept but instead of keeping all the tabs organised as a tree (and generally keeping them all open), you can create groups of tabs that are kept unloaded/hidden and you can load them up on a given window with a click of a button or a hotkey.

I personally use them so I can context switch between projects. I can keep one group for project a, one for project b, one for project c, and so on while also keeping a group for day to day stuff, one for reading material, one for conference talks/background noise, etc.

Then I can just unload a given group when I don't need it without losing anything and I can bring it back up on that window (or a different window) later when I need it again.

I think the food and climate of England were a huge driver of British Imperial expansion. The elite were desperate to get out and so the British always had a large supply of soldiers and administrators for their colonies (until they were decimated in WWI).
Be careful doing this without enabling your own key/certificate validation. We deployed SSH to a few dozen OS_X machines in a lab (for backend maintenance) without certificates for handshake (i.e. password-based) and next morning several machines had been compromised.

We were using complex passwords; this was when 10.6 was latest OS, so perhaps security is better now with simple password-based SSH — but I would never take such a risk again.
It's a bit late for that these days, what with all the climate change and all that. Migration (in likely huge numbers) is coming and likely already largely underway around the world. There's gonna be more and more places humans simply cannot physically survive anymore and that alone will drive people to move elsewhere. This of course will likely lead to violence, because that's what far too many humans do when other humans try to "muscle in on their territory". It's a sad fact that unless most of the human race grows up and starts acting like adults for a change, we're likely in for war pretty much everywhere soon enough.

Much like user interfaces: by careful study of how people use them and not by aping what the most "successful" keyboards are doing.

Anyone who has used a mechanical keyboard can tell you that there is much room for improvement. Rubber dome keyboards are cheap to manufacture and adequate when new but wear out quickly, and most people don't treat them like a wear item. Meanwhile, mechanical keyboards provide a superior typing experience that decreases hand fatigue and can easily last 20+ years with no maintenance.

And don't get me started on layouts. QWERTY is ubiquitous but is a piece of tech debt that has hung around for over a century. Studies have been done and layouts have been produced that are much more efficient and produce less hand fatigue, but none have taken hold because of the sheer momentum that QWERTY has.

Want to see an easy place where there's room for improvement? Why are the rows on every keyboard you've ever used staggered so bizarrely? Because on a typewriter, mechanical limitations meant that there had to be room for the linkages. But inexplicably, we continue to manufacture keyboards that preserve this fossilized layout. Typing on an ortholinear keyboard is sheer bliss in comparison.

> If you already have any kids at all (for example), there's nothing you can do to reduce your damage to the earth

This is a misanthropic perspective, we should have no kids and die out to reduce ‘damage to the earth’. Best environmentalist is a mass murderer. Worst climate criminal is a sperm donor.

But if you look at the physical world, Earth already had 6 mass extinction events, asteroids, supervolcanoes, etc. they killed basically everything, and life bounces back. There will be more. Our efforts are unimpressive in comparison. In absolute, it doesn’t matter.

From a humanist view, ‘Damage to the earth’ is damage to its ability to support human life. That’s the perspective that makes sense to me.

One of the requirements is that civilisation continues.

And the best contribution is to bring up a well adjusted, kind and capable individual, and for them to do the same.

If lump together environmental impact of children and parents, then if your bloodline continues forever your evrironmental impact is infinite. This creative accounting leads to absurd conclusions

Sounds like it is an approximately 9.5-bit ADC now, instead of 9-bit like the RP2040 was. So... not much change.

Datasheet section 12.4.1 "Changes from RP2040"

- Removed spikes in differential nonlinearity at codes 0x200, 0x600, 0xa00 and 0xe00, as documented by erratum RP2040-E11, improving the ADC’s precision by around 0.5 ENOB.

- Increased the number of external ADC input channels from 4 to 8 channels, in the QFN-80 package only.

You're forgetting common knowledge and obviousness.

If I say I'm thinking of getting a dog and someone else on the Internet says credulously "What? What would it ever breathe?" I don't need to find sources to show that dogs can breathe air or that the air where I live is ok for dogs or that dogs don't overly deplete the oxygen meant for me.
It just needs two resistors on the CC lines.
