"RingGesture, a ring-based mid-air gesture typing system, enables users to input text both quickly and accurately. The process
unfolds as follows: a) The process begins when the user articulates their wrist, positioning the cursor over the initial letter of the desired word. b) Then, the user performs a pinch gesture with their thumb and index finger, marking the start of the cursor’s trajectory. c) Subsequently, the user gestures the word’s trajectory in mid-air to complete the input by articulating their wrist. d) Upon releasing the pinch, the deep-learning word prediction framework, Score Fusion, predicts Top-K words, with the Top-1 word being pre-selected."

It is funny to me that any time an article or claims regarding rice being unhealthy appear, it would be from some far West country whose diet barely contains any rice. Meanwhile, Asian countries whose populace exclusively eat rice every day, multiple times, in humongous amounts, consistently rank higher in life expectancy than a Western country with the same level of development.

I am not saying rice is the only reason. My point is if rice is so bad, we would not see Japan or Korea or Singapore dominate the life expectancy charts. Compared to the extremely greasy and highly processed food being sold widely in the US for example, rice is extremely healthy.

Why rewrite an entire code base away from JQuery.. and not to native implementations?

What all indie hackers are doing is getting support and resources from an equivalent of venture capital investment. Which is Cathedral approved education that effectively reduces to attaching an epistemology onto yourself that limits you and prevents you from functioning outside the cramped divisions of civilization-approved entrepreneurship.

The education offered by civilization includes logic that's crafted by a pedagogy that's biased toward vulgarity and social skills that don't perform well when it comes to building anything that would help a man get away from a forced commitment to anything more than maximizing viewer impressions on provocative Internet-uploaded content. The average tech entrepreneur isn't any better than a McDonald's hamburger grill operator or a female OnlyFans model or a delivery app driver, once you remove your civilly trained bias toward low resolution videos on socioeconomic dynamics.

To use a great illustration, even a billionaire techno-commercialist like Elon Musk can never hope to achieve independent wealth acquisition. Because his education, personal origin, and development are not really deviant and an instance of someone that can perform beyond the abstract black box that is knowledge given by civilization's life experiences which the life offers to every man. He will always come up short, whenever it's a question of exiting from the liberal-democratic regime and its permanent ironic anti-libertarianism stance. The question is: How to build a business that's not required to conform with all expectations, social and physical/ontological? Leading up to aerospace technology and acquiring science for Earth-to-Mars orbit transfers ain't it. Even having a business starting capital of one hundred dollars in the style of the $100 Startup comes with a history whose financial system component is tied to having a certain social obligation. A certain physical requirement commonly called life.

It's quite difficult to convert a combustion engine vehicle to an EV.

- EVs need significant volume for batteries. The only places available in a combustion vehicle are the engine bay and the gas tank. If you put batteries in the engine bay, you'll mess up the weight distribution. The volume occupied by the gas tank isn't nearly large enough to house a battery for decent range.

- The extra weight of the batteries requires changes to the suspension and tires.

- EV motors have lots of torque. If you use the original transmission, you'll need to limit torque based on which gear it's in. Any replacement transmission will need to be designed for that car chassis. It's not easily adapted to other models.

- Combustion vehicles are designed with an accessory belt in mind. The air conditioning, power steering, and many other components are run off of these belts. An EV motor doesn't spin while idling. These components will need another power source, or they'll have to be replaced with EV-specific components.

- Combustion vehicles use waste heat from the engine to heat the cabin. Unless you live in a mild climate, a retrofit will need electric heating coils (or a heat pump for maximum efficiency).

And after making all of these modifications, you'll need to deal with regulations around making sure the vehicle is street legal. Those can differ greatly based on the state and the model year of the vehicle you're converting. Considering all that, it's unlikely that you'd save money by converting an existing vehicle.

An EV kit car might make more sense, but the market for those is quite small.

The idea is that the machine just provides a preliminary count, a official manual count happens over the following several hours. If there's a discrepancy then the only the manual count counts and the machine can be identified as problematic.
I disagree. I believe there are people who want results sooner rather than later. The greater the delay, the more annoyed folks become. Recording votes in _both_ paper and electronic form allows for the auditability of paper and the speed of electronic calculations.

(Side note: I also believe that hand-counting of ballots can be tedious, and humans performing tedious, repetitive tasks are prone to error. See [1].)

Civilizational Triumph
I created a similar `$()` utility function for my projects albeit with 10 times less functionality.

I used the same basic signature for the `$()` function. However I found that 95% of the time I don't need to use the chain method on a collection. There's almost no scenario in which I want to do <collection>.addClass() etc. There's practically ZERO situations in which I would use something like attach an event to a collection of nodes, since event delegation is more elegant (attach a single event and check for event.type and event.target).

So TLDR I made $() always select a single element with `querySelector()`, which means I could remove the collection/loop from every chained method like addClass() or css() or toggle().

Point unless you write bad code to begin with, you can probably make this significantly smaller by removing the collection handling. The 1% of the time it is warranted to do an addClass() or something else on a bunch of nodes you can just go native and if the collection is small enough just call $() on each element.

PS: I guess the subtext also to my post is sometimes something looks logically elegant, like the ability for any chained method to act on the collection selected by $(), but it may not make any sense in the real world.

> Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown addressed the issue in a statement, saying the machine was temporarily taken out of service while an investigator from the Attorney General's Office was called to inspect the machine. Investigators tried to recreate the anomaly and were able to do so after spending few minutes tapping in the area of the screen between the Trump and Harris field, Brown said.

> Despite additional attempts, Brown said investigators weren't able to recreate it a second time.

> "The Kentucky Attorney General’s Department of Criminal Investigations quickly responded to the complaint from Laurel County. Detectives have been in touch with the county clerk and recommended they change out the voting machine," Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman said in a statement. "All Kentucky voters can have confidence that our elections are secure and any potential issues will be addressed quickly."

> In a statement Friday, officials from the Kentucky State Board of Elections said the voting machine registered the selection for Harris because the voter was touching two boxes simultaneously.

> Initially, the voter used their finger to "jab" the small box in the top-left corner of the Trump field on the touchscreen. After a few failed attempts, a second hand enters the frame and is seen attempting to "simultaneously click the large Trump field with an index finger and the large Robert F. Kennedy field with a thumb, leaving the Harris box highlighted," officials said.

> Michon Lindstrom, spokesperson for Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, also dismissed the incident as "voter error."

> Brown emphasized that the issue occurred on a ballot-marking machine, which does not process votes. Marking machines allow voters to make their selections for their ballot and then physically print them to be cast and counted.

> If the machine prints a faulty ballot, voters are able to discard it and print a corrected one, Brown said.
right, you don't need a constant temperature to make yogurt.

in india, people don't even measure the temperatures as you mentioned.

we just boil the milk (to sterilize it), let it cool some amount, put in the curd (indian english term for yogurt, dahi in hindi, thayir in tamil) starter (which is just curds from a previous batch), mix, and leave it covered for a while, typically overnight, anywhere in the house, or in a cooler or warmer
part, depending upon your location and ambient temperature. the milk automatically sets, by the action of the bacteria, and becomes curd.

nothing to it. even kids can make curd.

Sure, that's the game. I get an extra bonus or raise or something with promotions, and more when I switch jobs, but nearly all the profit goes elsewhere. If you want to leave the upper-middle class you'll need to set out on your own eventually.

If you don't have a solid plan and life circumstances for building your own business yet though, why would you not do things the business likes, especially when it means your day-to-day is more palettable, it doesn't actually require any more work, and it has some moderate career impacts in case you never set out on your own?

> this may backfire

That's the same sort of logic that leads people to have asphalt roofs instead of white roofs in southern climates. You do, absolutely, alienate a significant fraction of buyers (employers). You command a premium at every place that's left though because they want you _because_ of the things that make you different. So long as you don't shrink the pool too much, each individual job is more lucrative.
The original GBA models (including the SP) did actually feature a Sharp SM83 (the Z80-compatible CPU used in the GB and GBC) for GB/GBC backwards compatibility.

It was never accessible by GBA games (or at least intended to be accessed, so to my knowledge no official titles did), and so the Game Boy Micro and the DS and DS Lite, which both feature GBA but not GB/GBC backwards compatibility, could drop it without causing any problems for GBA games.
You've generalised in a direction that erases the distinctions I'm trying to highlight. I'm talking about perception (specifically, perceived spamminess), and you're talking about what is permitted. If you don't care about the perception, then that's fine and you can safely ignore me.

> The bimetallic component means that one metal heats and expands faster than the other, eventually breaking the circuit.

I thought the circuit that powers the cooking was broken because, when the water has boiled away, heat rises and a magnet holding the circuit closed is weakened by the heat, which allows a spring to pull the magnet away and break the heating circuit. (Magnets are weaker when hot.)

To clarify, Apple is often good about requiring opt-in for a bunch of features, especially privacy-related features, and I appreciate that. Unfortunately there are some annoying corner cases, such as having to manually disable iCloud sync for photos (etc.), or the issue that OP ran into with having iCloud keychain re-enable itself after being turned off. It also used to be easier to actually turn off wi-fi and bluetooth without them reactivating automatically. I understand why they made it harder (to reduce complaints and support calls/appointments for AirDrop/AirPods/Apple watch/etc. not working due to user settings) but I would have preferred an alternative approach of making it simple and obvious how to fix any AirDrop or other issues while preserving the ability to easily turn off wi-fi.

EV software engineer here.

Your hypothesis is basically correct. Since the motor is under no load, it will appear to spin out of control even with the smallest torque application, but in reality the torque being applied is very small… probably around 5Nm.

Trust me if it was truly spinning out of control with no load you’d know… it would reach max speed in 0.1 seconds and probably start tearing through the floor.

Most likely what’s happening is that the creep torque is applying a constant small torque and the wheel sensors are reading 0 continuously, so it continues to apply a constant small torque.
The original GBA (and GBA SP) did, but the Game Boy Micro and DS Lite didn't.

At least the latter is apparently compatible with the E-Reader.
Predicting how things evolve in space-time is a fundamental need. Finite element methods deserve the glory of a place at the top of the HN list. I opted for "orthogonal collocation" as the method of choice for my model back in the day because it was faster and more fitting to the problem at hand. A couple of my fellow researchers did use FEM. It was all the rage in the 90s for sure.
