I have found that laptops with cracked or scrached screens offer a much better value in terms of newer hardware. The battery acts as a built in UPS.

For example this laptop:

Dell Latitude 7400 Intel i7-1165G7 16GB 256GB NVMe SSD

Is $180 shipped.

And NHibernate.Linq and Dapper.Extensions.Linq… Most ORMs in the ecosystem have at least one Linq support library, even if just a third-party extension.

Also, there are fun things that support Linq syntax for non-ORM uses, too, such as System.Reactive.Linq and LanguageExt: https://github.com/louthy/language-ext/wiki/How-to-deal-with...
This "trend" of furniture being made of composite materials makes no sense to me. They're obviously so much weaker. I've had nightstands that sway like a tree in the summer breeze. Furniture today though doesn't feel much cheaper. Even the "luxury" brands these days, who charge big bucks, sneak in composite.
My point was, the legitimate source Amazon is a registered reseller with the equipment manufacturer, and may include the valid traceable laboratory certificate with the item for a slightly higher fee.

Another problem with clones for example, is they often copy old tech... defects and all... so in this example one probably won't get the current inductive style absolute position verniers that work more reliably around dirt/liquids.

Just a thought, but note often 3rd party sellers are literally sourcing items from dumpsters. There was a news story about the disgusting food people resell on the platform, and it is not technically counterfeit. =3
People in ketosis actually have higher fasting blood sugar than those on high carb diets- there is an adaptive insulin resistance that preserves glucose for the brain and heart cells that can’t survive without it.

That said- it is an adaptive mechanism that is rapidly reversible, and totally different from type II diabetic insulin resistance.

Exploring Requirements for Timelines Certificate Problem Reports and Revocations
At least in the Apple world, my IT dept drop-ships MacBooks direct from Apple to employees, already enrolled in our MDM via their business partner program. Any additional software installations and provisioning happens after first boot via the MDM platform.

New hardware is never on a company campus or in IT hands where it could be pointed to a PXE server and imaged in that way (assuming we were running a Windows fleet too)
> Organizing and hosting larger Akademy events

Why do they need this? What are they doing there?

> Funding more and larger sprints

Why do sprints cost money? Are they paying developers?
This is the way. I'm buying stupid tech exclusively, and make it smart in my own terms.
Nil UUID Generator, Conveniently generate as many as you need
Looks like a few QoL improvements and bug fixes. Nothing disruptive that would normally come with a major release version.

Looks like you can set a password on it now, which is cool (though I personally like having linux perms govern access to my screen/tmux). Multiinput sounds interesting as well, though in the past that was a feature I thought I'd love to have, but once I had I never use.

I'm glad to see Screen is still getting some love :-)

I ran screen for years before finally switching to tmux around 2011, and it's impact is still heavy as my tmux config is still rocking my "make tmux controls like screen while transitioning" setup which I intended to be temporary. Ctrl+a from my cold dead fingers
Weekly Micro Market: LinkedIn Automation Tools
That's a good evergreen response to that question.
What I'd really like to see is the curve! There's usually two "sweet spots", right? The minimum you should spend, and what you should expect at that point, and the point of diminishing returns, and what you should expect there.
> Apple demanding a (probably much) lower price-point to have the SoC applied in a mysterious unknown project without a volume-commitment could as well have destroyed the business and profit-margin for the entire Xscale business for Intel and its other customers...

One of the key premises of the article is that Apple likely didn't know it was bidding for the iPhone and the decision was taken on that basis.

Why is why saying 'Intel turned down the iPhone' is problematic.
Narwhals: Lightweight and extensible compatibility layer between dataframe libs
In countries that actually have a strong constitution—the US is the primary example though I hope others exist—the Constitution itself is the supreme law of the land and is, by design, difficult to amend. When legislatures pass laws that exceed the bounds of the Constitution, the courts strike down those laws as null and void.

In that sense, Britain does not have a constitution. Obviously it has a constitution in some sense, because there is always some set of laws, norms, traditions, and historical precedents that constitute the basis of government. But this is a much weaker sense of the term. For instance, the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011 was a “constitutional” law that supposedly made it impossible to call a snap election, but a snap election was nonetheless called in 2019 via the Early Parliamentary General Election Act 2019, which only required a simple majority because it had equivalent authority to the FTPA itself.
AFAIK in Firefox you should stay logged in in that case. It's just that if you then visit someothersite.com and that has a Facebook widget embedded, that you'll appear logged out of Facebook there.
I'm already getting personalized spam mail that's probably powered by AI ("use this API" type marketing in my work email.) I'm okay with this, even if I find it a little unsettling.

I think the dystopian future we're heading towards is personalized phishing and/or scams that sends to your hijacked accounts' contacts that you're going through a hard time and requesting donations, using training data from crowdfunding sites.

Or, one-level more dystopian, hijacking social media accounts and advertising AI-generated Patreon-style content using the actual account owner's likeness.

Honestly, I barely understand how Firefox's cookie protection works anymore. It used to have the simple option to block third party cookies that I had running all day and felt good with. That was until they started becoming necessary in certain scenarios (I can't even remember the details of what that was).

And then these days I have no idea if I can just accept a website's advertising cookies and expect Firefox to block them anyways, or if clicking on such a button would disable the browser's tracking protection.
Jesus Christ are they amateurs? These are steel boxes on wheels and we're dealing with the same issues as shitty 200 dollars android tablets from 10 years ago.
For clarity, I think this was posted because it was just updated. I think just the following was added:

> And starting in 2024, all our users can look forward to Firefox blocking even more third party cookies. That’s right; we are taking big swings to adopt new cookie partitioning and clearing mechanisms so that users can browse with fewer cookies that won’t stick around as long and will result in an even better browsing experience. Just another step on our road towards creating a better internet where your privacy is not optional.
Cancellation rates are monitored and lately, looked at with cameras. But that is indeed a potential workaround.
For forced comment I fully agree, especially for function or class when the name already says whats on the tin.
Nice, they reasonably kludged it into an IMAP folder:

(somewhat related) There are two infinities operating in QM when systems get big.

https://youtu.be/FrTq_m1pLz8?t=2188

Quantum mechanics forces two infinities upon us when attempting to make precise observations. The first is the need for infinitely many measurements, stemming from the probabilistic nature of quantum predictions. To obtain a sharp notion of probability, we must perform an experiment infinitely often, converging to the true probability in the limit. The second infinity involves an infinitely large measuring apparatus. This arises because any finite measuring device is itself subject to quantum fluctuations, introducing an intrinsic imprecision to measurements. The degree of imprecision scales as e^(-n), where n is the number of particles composing the measuring device. While the first infinity is often discussed and practically relevant in experimental settings, the second is less commonly addressed but conceptually significant. These infinities highlight fundamental limitations in our ability to make precise quantum measurements and become particularly problematic when gravity is introduced into the picture.
A big chunk of their list have signed agreements with OpenAI, or in Meta’s case, has a competitor.

I’d argue the way Wired is reporting this as a gotcha is also a conflict of interest because of their deal with an effective competitor.

> “WIRED can confirm that Facebook, Instagram, Craigslist, Tumblr, The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Atlantic, Vox Media, the USA Today network, and WIRED’s parent company, Condé Nast, are among the many organizations opting to exclude their data from Apple’s AI training”

> “The media company joins The Atlantic, Axel Springer, Vox Media, and a host of other publishers who have partnered with OpenAI.”
Given how Entity Framework is quite ubiquitous as "the ORM of choice" for SQL Server and its usage of C# Linq, there's certainly external momentum, whether or not SQL Server devs themselves are paying attention to how the majority of their users are writing queries today.
I was talking about the TV room device, as opposed to the computer devices.
I believe I looked up common machines with good prices, then searched for those individually, which obviously isn't going to work very well for this tool.
i think we are arguing from different perspectives. my disgust of the video was the tone and hostility displayed by the linux maintainers. even though the presenter made it clear they came to learn and not to tell the C people how wrong their ways are, the linux maintainers kept on pouring.

i understood your argument being a technical one, and not a social one. i have no opinion on this topic from the technical side.
so cool - always feel a little pain when i have to suggest webflow nowadays. Glad to see other options cropping up - love the vision :)

So basically just google? I don't think other search engines matter that much. I've never heard people specifically doing SEO for anything that's not google.
Why are there so many site publishing solutions? Is it that good of a business? Is it advantageous to smaller players?
A $38 lenovo cost me $633.90 with the shipping costs, from US to Switzerland i guess :D
Not really true. National Rail, which owns the tracks is a quango, not a private company. The actual train operators are truly privately owned but it is important to understand that they are not privately making any major strategic decisions about the network, just maintaining the rolling stock and providing staff; their routes, times, prices, and profits are mostly set by the state (with some narrow room for discretion) and not by the private sector.
hm, right. I am not an expert in PHP (Hack from Meta does not count).

From what you explained, PHP is good choice here too then.
i love fastmail web ux but i hate that the fastmail app is useless without internet. no browsing of cached mails.
A 15cm x 15cm mirror used in this project cost 1€.

That's 48€/m2, I couldn't find a photovoltaic panel at that price.

Add to that:

- photovoltaic efficiency is about 20%, while such mirrors reflect 90% of the energy

- photovoltaic panels have an average lifespan of 20 years, while mirrors do not wear out.

Anyway, we're comparing apples and oranges, because we have to add the mechanical installations, which are very different depending on the specific application.

I'm not against photovoltaic in general, I just think that for some applications there are some interesting alternatives.
Not between floating point numbers.
Direnv plus nix will go a long way on linux and macos. Windows should be using wsl anyway.

If you can get an image with just those two tools installed then each repo can specify what things it needs and when you cd into the repo it will install all the tools you need.
I was about to donate until I read things like this and their initiatives like promotion. The incentives are all wrong - donations should go to actual expenses (hosting, hardware, dev meetups, bounties on large contributions), not amassing influence. Wikimedia is an example of everything wrong with not-for-profits, not a model to emulate.

What if we could direct donations to specific components of KDE? I have some longstanding bugs I’d be happy to pay someone to fix.

Pick a random number between 0 and Infinity.

What set of infinite numbers are you more likely to wind up with?

Do this a million times.

Therefore 1 to Infinity is significantly larger than 0 to 1
Thanks for sharing.

This demonstrates where the new tech products are bringing us: to scrape everything and buy the entire thing again.

This is the direction of the automotive industry as well, so in the future you won't be able to repair a car easily too.
Looks like a simple and non intrusive and potentially useful feature. Your concern seems unnecessary (for now). They may not be perfect, but they seem to be better than most SaaS companies as far as my experience with them goes. Their web app works, hasnt enshitified or gotten slow, they aren't shoving AI into their stuff afaik. Theyre alright imo for now.
Exciting update, Kiet and Daniel! Even as a non-technical person, I can see how Onlook could really bridge the gap between design and development. The ability to visually edit a React app and see those changes in the code in real-time is a game-changer. I’m looking forward to seeing how you bring those A/B testing and component creation features to life. Keep up the great work!
Maybe he was headed to skiing? On foot... in August... on Long Island. Hmm.
They've been shipping features somewhat regularly. One I really like (but was unfortunately gated behind a $10 price bump) was being able to ask AI to find an email "where's that email about blah" or to have it summarize a long email chain "hey what am I supposed to be doing here"
difference might be that a Raspberry Pi consumes < 10W.

An old PC draws easily 5-10 times more energy.

Depending on your location, the yearly cost of running a Pi is around ~10$. The big machine then 50-100$.
So energy wise, a small power efficient machine might be more expensive but the running cost could be lower.

Huh, turns out to be a problem at my end, probably due to corporate firewall.
My mother had a job coming up with such warnings. She was a 'home safety technician' for the local council, advising people not to fall off ladders and the like. It seems to work like there are statistics that so many people end up in hospital after falling of a ladder or whatever and the council thinks we must fix this, we'll hire someone to educate the public. The odd poster probably doesn't make much difference to the number of people falling but it was quite an easy and entertaining job for my mum.
This post is not about real numbers, though. It's about floating point numbers.

It's a shame that Einstein thought writing a book for popular consumption to be an endeavor tied solely to material ambitions. I, for one, would have loved to read "A brief history of time" esque compilation written by Einstein himself. It would have been a great way to peek into his mind and get to know him better (sans the obvious mathematical way).
UK seems like one of the absolute worst places in the world to live. Why are there not more people moving out of the UK? Do they still think it can get better?
During hand assembly? What I'd do is use graph paper and leave some rows blank in case I'd need to add stuff, and would occasionally redo specific pages if I ran out of room, or if I needed to make changes that were complex enough that marking them up would lead to an unreadable mess of scribbles.

But the hand assembly part was close to the end of the process. Initially, I'd just write assembly on normal paper and not worry about converting anything to op codes until I considered the program complete enough to assemble and try running it. During that initial phase, I wouldn't worry about leaving space or anything because it was all going to be rewritten multiple times anyway.
That's good. I didn't mean to hint that it wasn't working just that I wish it were more obvious to the user. Logged in vs Not Logged in on a Facebook widget is not that obvious.
I agree that this is a great idea. I use KDE Neon on many of my machines, but it's a subpar experience. People ask the same question on the webforums all the time: what is the best KDE distro? Having a flagship KDE distribution where KDE developers would be in full control is something that has been hurting the project for a while. One can think about Apple who is in control of its entire ecosystem all the way down to designing their own CPUs.

Everyone I know from the UK says "hoovering" 100% of the time instead of vacuuming.
It's true, Java presumably doesn't want your weird custom thing, they already have several garbage collectors.

And yes, writing a standard which specifies things nobody does is indeed useless and that's why it was removed, but that was my entire point. The ISO document is just dress up, what actually matters is the implementations.
Is it just me, or is this bad statistics?

With a small sample size and large numbers of personas / categories you would expect to see a positive bump, even if there was no statistical relationship between the persona and the preference. Since you are only eliminating categories that don't happen to be represented in the subset you are testing, you can only ever actually go up.

For demonstration I rolled 20 dice randomly for 6 personas and 3 categories of preference:

1, 5, 4, 4, 4, 2, 6, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 6, 3, 2, 1, 3

A, A, A, A, B, C, B, A, C, A, C, A, B, C, A, A, B, A, B, B

A = 10, B = 6, C = 4; Which gives me 20% for C

I restrict myself to just the numbers that voted for C (2, 4, 1, 6) removing all 3 and 5s

I now am left with:

1, 4, 4, 4, 2, 6, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, 6, 6, 2, 1

A, A, A, B, C, B, A, C, A, C, A, C, A, A, B

This now gives me A = 8, B = 3, C = 4

And now I get 27%, a nice 35% boost! Even better than Superhuman's 10% boost. But this is all an illusion, there was absolutely no dependency between the persona and preference here, which you would only see with a large enough sample size.
Disclaimer: I don't know this personally, just going on what I heard on a podcast.

My understanding is that these events they host are sort of like conferences where they find some space and get hackers together for hack fests and to build stuff. It's collaborative and while they don't pay the devs, they have expenses.

I don't know how good the ROI is, but it's certainly an interesting model.
No, it wasn't obvious. But it coming from Apple, who choose to go after the portable music player market ignoring the new hotness PDA and that ipod segment becoming the majority of its market cap. When that happened, as the CEO of #1 cpu maker, you have to spend more than a cursory effort into what is Apple's bet on this. Even to me, a nobody, had guessed at the iphone rumor, before the magically reveal, that it will be become Apple's main product, way surpassing even the ipod. Apple choosing to ignore the PDA market gave me an almost certain conclusion that they only ignored it due to technical challenges to produce a rivaling product that they were proud of and after years of wait, they were finally able to produce it.

So yes, hindsight is 20/20, but as CEO of intel, he failed miserably from not putting more effort into the decision making.

Webflow is definitely the best option out there. But for devs, we're hoping to address the lock-in and get back some of the flexibility of owning the code
While not a wrong response in itself, the onboarding cost argument tend to be a bit exaggerated most of the time, because unless you plan on hiring people for a week at most, you're usually better served by avoiding sources of complexity.

The argument is to avoid going all-in on Redux by default if you're doing a React project, not telling you to hand-roll your own Redux.

If you're doing a mostly-static site with a few bells and whistles, then HTML and plain old JS will probably do.
