Yes, but the other point is that, in a practical sense, it is not really a problem. Just a silly design decision.

I expect, if they ever get around to redesigning that mouse, they’ll change the port, if only to avoid derision. The recent port change was not enough to warrant moving the port. That front edge is quite thin so there may not be enough room in the current case.
N can be like 10 or a little less. There is no point in culturing lettuce indoors because is a product too cheap that is up to 96% water. Counterintuitively, 1 L of mineral water can cost more than 1 Kg of lettuce, so the winning move would be using the energy to purify the water, and then just to sell mineral water bottles. Lettuce as many other vegetables is just a form of water that requires you to wash it, before drinking.

Indoor farming is for fungus, not for vegetables. Vegetables have too much enemies and without predators (or a strict, strict, blockage to keep all parasites out) is too unstable.

And if you work for big supermarkets you will need to fight for each cent, or the margin benefit will be progressively reduced until they own you.

I would say safety is a big one. It's a lot easier for users to justify fiddling with a touch screen interface when it's a part of the car vs on their phone screen. Sometimes you want to make unsafe things harder to do.

Incredible double standards at play here: Ukraine is helped by the US and most of the EU so since the beginning of the war it's not one country against another. It makes no sense to help a belligerent then cry that the opponent is getting help too.

That help is coming in form of both armaments and training such as the AFU members training in France. All that with our taxes and without popular consultation...
there's already a standardised export format for message keys (although EX doesn't let you load/save it yet, mainly because online backup already solves most use cases): https://spec.matrix.org/v1.12/client-server-api/#key-export-.... If you enable backup on your clients then EX at least will merge the missing keys to/from the backup. Meanwhile, the original problem of missing keys were probably unfortunately just due to bugs - although as per https://matrix.org/blog/2024/10/29/matrix-2.0-is-here/#4-inv... we've done a huge amount of work to improve this now, and they should be really unusual now (at least when due to bugs, rather than permissions or data loss or similar).

Separately, talking of standardised key formats: one of the team did a skunkworks hack last Friday to experiment with a standardized file-format for user public keys - a kind of basic key transparency ledger for Matrix, to help with bulk-verification within orgs.

Couldn’t you get an LLM to do that? “Here’s the code for this function, add conditionals to fix any null pointer bugs”

Or: “Here’s a function and a unit test that exposes a bug in it, modify the function so the unit test passes”. With that approach, the LLM could even (autonomously) try multiple times until the test passed.

This shouldn’t be an issue for public domain dedications which contain a fallback copyright license such as CC0. [0] People say the Unlicense also falls in that category, but (unfortunately) its wording is less than completely clear, so it is debatable. Another option is “PD-equivalent licenses” such as 0BSD or MIT-0, which are technically copyright licenses but designed to give you the same rights as PD (e.g. reuse without requiring attribution).

I have two nieces who are Canadian but have completed medical school in Australia. They are currently in the equivalent of internship, heading for residency.

They work 40-hour weeks (compared to 60-90 in Canada), and are paid overtime when they go over. Their salaries are $100,000/year+ (equivalent to USD $66,000) which seems to be fine for them and more than they would receive in Canada.

The post-medical-school phase seems to go on longer (minimum 5 years) than in Canada, which may account for some of the difference.

I can not bypass the fact that basically no other developed country allows citizens to vote without proper official photo identification, neither that the sates that allow people to vote without any identification, are the ones where the Democratic Party always wins elections.

If you’re talking about minor elected offices (Clerk of Deeds, etc.) be careful what you wish for.

I lived in a country which did away with many of the small elections, only to have the positions filled by toxic empire-builders.

We went back to elections, where a scandal was handled by electors, not union rules.

I mean yeah, if you point Putin's visit only from a few months ago that's pretty much the definition of "dragged into the war". You should have a look at the date of your article first.

That's also why North Korea bargained some goods in exchange of their support.

I have played a ton of 3 min flat blitz games at the local bar using my phone as a click and my phone has never been broken, maybe due to a little good luck. Not as satisfying to tap the screen compared to slamming a button on a physical clock, but nobody has ever slammed the phone like that even if they've been drinking.

Individuals exist, "society" has never existed and will never exist. It's only individuals who can take actions. "Society" does not have any means at all, because it's just a mirage within the imagination of some people.

It's individuals mandating the building of wheelchair ramps, it is individuals who build them, and individuals who use them. You don't need to give your nephew or niece a high paying job to make some weird theories about "society". You can instead just state the truth that some people can't walk and if you have the power you can mandate that business owners need to make their places accessible for these people.
Here's a hint: the thing you clearly think is "inferior"... I don't even think about at all.

<1 TB. I try to keep the entirety of my important files in under 1tb and so far, I have succeeded. Somehow I've managed to do this even with my photo/video iCloud Photo library. I am not counting large hoards like my ISO and movie collections.

I'm not really sure of exact sizes, but books and PDFs don't take up much space at all. I'd guess a few hundred megabytes? Wikipedia is ~20gb, IIRC.

Physically, I have paper copies of books stashed all over the place. It consumes a decent amount of space all together (~ 4 feet by 9 feet ~18 inches in volume)

> Ballots are insanely complicated and there’s absolutely zero knowledge the average person has about whether any of the people are good candidates.

You can say this with a straight face about the presidential election because it's a statistical tie. But it's laughable at the municipal/county level. Even at the state level it's often not true-- e.g., in Ohio were savvy enough to reject a marijuana legalization referendum (which they overwhelmingly wanted!) because it would have given a tiny cartel control over growing it. That caveat wasn't in the text of the referendum IIRC, so somehow a majority of Ohioans defeated it using their "absolutely zero knowledge" of the inner workings of that proposed law.

> So then they turn to their favorite voting guides which just shifts the power to unaccountable political groups instead of making the single representative you elect responsible for figuring it out.

There's a human web of trust lots of voters use to navigate the complexity of voting. The more local you get the more effective it is. At the municipal level there's a chance you're web includes the people directly involved in an issue, in addition to people who can help you judge the veracity of those people!

> And there’s too many elections - non presidential year elections give the power to a motivated and vocal minority which is not what you want because it lets shit stirrers seize control when no one is paying attention.

Sounds like you're hedging here-- what exactly does "give the power to" mean? If you're saying that special interests have more power to slip in corrupting legislation or install lackeys during an off-year, that's definitely not true. The worst stuff gets passed through when there's a lot of noise to cover it-- like presidential elections or national disasters.

Python f-strings are kind of wild. They can even contain comments! They also have slightly different rules for parsing certain kinds of expressions, like := and lambdas. And until fairly recently, strings inside the expressions couldn't use the quote type of the f-string itself (or backslashes).

huh. on Element X iOS, the notif support is genuinely great - you get avatars and groupings and reliable notifs on e2ee msgs. the only thing is missing is quick-reply (which has been blocked behind full multi-process support in matrix-rust-sdk, hopefully coming soon).

I'd assumed that Element X Android would be the same; if not, it's an omission and will get fixed.

I'm still convinced that Rust does it _right_ by allowing you to "chain through" errors using `Result`. Having to pepper `if err != nil { return ..., err}` repeatedly into your code is just distracting from the core logic - 99% of the time, that's the response anyway, so being able to just write your happy-case logic and have an implicit "but if there are any errors, return them immediately" (but still returned as a value rather than thrown as an orthogonal Exception) is the best of both worlds.

Perhaps there were multiple iterations of the Garmin Edge 530, and we're talking about two different interfaces, but this is the process for zooming and panning the map on my Edge 530:

From the map screen, to change zoom, hold a button until a +/- appears next to other buttons. Use those other buttons to zoom in or out. To pan up or down, hold that same button again, until up/down arrows appear next to the other buttons. Use those other buttons to pan up or down. To pan left or right, repeat this process once more.

The entire value proposition of a bike mounted map is to be able to navigate without stopping to use your phone. But if the interface to adjust the map is this cumbersome, stopping to look at a phone is the smart move, never mind the better user experience.

I watch my CI pipeline spend a minute or two creating the virtualenv and pip install into it several times a day, despite the fact that nothing has changed (no change to requirements.txt, etc), and I wish there was a well-supported way to package up a venv into some kind of artifact (keyed by Python version, host platform and package versions) so we only had to rebuild it if something changed. This sounds a bit like that, but also sounds like something more complicated than what I was looking for.
There's never been some foreign army officially fighting in Ukraine like North Korea does. Sure Ukraine got training and weapons from a lot of countries but so did Russia as well, now this is something new.

I'd even say Russia just gave the green light for EU countries to replicate what Russia just did, they opened up the debate.
Good to know. I'm trying to dig up direct links to those USDA guides.

I feel like the patient desires should matter here. Personally, as someone with complex medical needs that entails spending a lot of time with doctors and healthcare professionals, I want the best care possible. The best care possible does not come from people who are sleep deprived and chronically stressed. (I do see the argument that doctors should be trained to handle stress spikes, but that's different than running on empty for months/years). I wouldn't want a lawyer handling my case that has only slept 4-5 hours a night at best for months or whose body is constantly full of adrenaline and cortisol: That lawyer is going to do a shitty job.

It shouldn't be on us as patients to memorize the change over times between shifts to choose when to go in based on getting a rested doctor (actual advice that's traded around). The medical hazing culture is directly harmful to patients and is, in my opinion, a violation of the Hippocratic Oath.

If you want to work yourself to death in order to make a ton of money, go into fintech or join a hedge fund instead of playing with peoples' lives. If you can get into and through med school, odds are you could pick up another just as high paying profession.
I drive a 2000 4Runner.

You know what I love?

Physical controls for heat/radio/shifting etc.

It feels precise and tactile.

My wife refuses to drive it, she much prefers the modern luxuries in cars, but there is something so satisfying about FEELING the interaction with a control.
Yes, it would be more interesting with some details. From the file names in the screensot it seems to be AVX512 versus plain C. AVX2 is already 67x, SSSE3 is 40x.
This is really sweet. I've only recently started dabbing into AI-assisted programming, and I think this integration into Emacs is really smooth.

What would be really neat is to add REPL-like functionality to an LLM buffer so that code generated by the LLM can be evaluated right away in place.
It’s caused by Wall St’s need to see constant growth, which becomes cancerous once a company has completely dominated its global market. The company is forced to squeeze existing customers once it’s no longer possible to find new ones (because the pool of all possible customers has already been converted to actual customers).
Likewise, but with an added layer of dread and sadness. I do not welcome the web- and JavaScript-ification of non-web software.
I also welcome the return of physical media (incl. videogames); manually pushing in the cart/cartridge is a form of tactile control. That and a wired controller so I don't need to manage batteries and bluetooth when my nephews want to play videogames.
I should, I use Emacs a bunch, but I guess it's just muscle memory now to flip to the terminal.
USB-C is amazing. I can buy USB-C PD spoofers for a couple of bucks that give me a wide range of voltages, at reasonably high amps, for all my electronics projects. It's brilliant.

Outside that application the most annoying issue for me is power only cables - which isn't its fault. Aside from that it's the best we have a by a long way.

Old School Low Metadata Conversation, Result of ChatGPT-Me Conversation
Objective

To set up exact, low-metadata communication between two private devices, Redmi 13 and Mobile X, using an old-school private code akin to Windtalker-style communication, which does not rely on modern digital encryption. This approach leverages human language, codes, or phrases understood only by the involved parties.
Devices Involved

Redmi 13: A Xiaomi smartphone configured for privacy.
Concrete: Disable call and SMS logs via phone settings or apps like CCleaner.
Turn off GPS and location services in Settings > Location.
Mobile X: A feature phone or simple smartphone.
Concrete: Use a basic model like Nokia 105 for minimal data retention, configured for calls and SMS only. Limit the contacts to just one labeled "13" for Redmi 13.

SIM Information

Anonymous SIM: Utilize a prepaid, non-registered SIM.
Concrete: Obtain these from regions where ID registration is not required, such as via SIMOptions or local shops in specific areas.

Low-Metadata Setup

Ensure minimal retention of data on both devices:
Concrete: Disable or auto-delete call logs using Call Log Monitor.
Limit app permissions for calls, messaging, and location through Settings > Apps > App permissions.

Old-School Cryptography (Windtalker Style)

Use a private spoken or written code, incorporating elements similar to the original Native American code talkers’ approach, where the language or symbols are understood only by the communicating parties. This type of code ensures secure communication without reliance on modern encryption or software.
Overall Context

This approach ensures secure, low-metadata communication between two offline devices, using traditional, human-based codes for cryptography. The results will contribute to research on privacy-focused communication methods and will be shared publicly, providing insights into how historical cryptographic methods can be adapted for modern low-tech privacy needs.
Necessity will find what is needed and the mental defectives will get shuttled out of the way if the entire system is facing existential crisis. The tragedy is that it is all avoidable but there is a lot of deck stacking to get one or more of these to pop off and people believe the official narratives still.
I wasn’t suggesting anything about driving. I brought up the car as an example of where, yes, touchscreens have gone too far and physical controls are often preferable.

TV remotes are among the most inaccessible consumer electronics devices. They can be made much better with a touchpad or a phone app or even a voice assistant. It’s still nice to have physical volume controls, of course.
I would second Prolog as mind-blowing. I've found you're typically confronted with fully engaging with the core of whatever problem you're solving, and only that core. This is probably what can make it so frustrating sometimes as you have no option but to work out the hard stuff nearly immediately; not to mention that unconsidered edge cases, mistakes can cause some pretty opaquely wrong results, or the query not terminating, which can make conventional debugging pretty difficult. The guarantees you get with using the 'pure' core of Prolog do open up some really interesting avenues though, for example Scryer's debugging library is quite neat in affording _semantic_ debugging: https://www.scryer.pl/debug

Just some additional commentary too - I think this post quite misrepresents it with some of the comparisons.

Prolog at its core is SLD Resolution [1] (a form of search) over Horn Clauses [2] (first order logic). Queries posted to the runtime are attempts to find a set of values which will satisfy (cause to be true) the query – whilst SQL is founded on relational algebra which more closely aligned with set theory.

Whilst there's probably some isomorphism between satisfying/refuting a logical predicate, and performing various set operations, I'd say it's a bit of a confusion of ideas to say that SQL is based on 'a subset of Prolog'. The author might be thinking about Datalog [3], which is indeed a syntactic subset of Prolog.
