I would naturally tend to agree with you, and when it comes to DRM-free things (like most music) I totally agree, but I genuinely think financially supporting companies using DRM is unethical. I used to buy (and still would buy) a ton of ebooks and a fair amount of movies/shows, but at this point I refuse to. The only exception is Audible. I still buy a ton of audiobooks from Audible (unless I can find them on Downpour or another DRM-free site) because I think they've gotten to a reasonably happy medium on the DRM. I would rather they drop the DRM, but it's at least not a giant pain in the ass to strip for people like me who really care about that.

I strongly want to pay people for good content, and I think they deserve to make some money for their work, but as soon as they slap DRM on it to limit my ability to back it up, consume it on whatever device I want, etc, the scales are tipped and I think piracy is actually more ethical than supporting such shit financially.
Well, if they used content not owned by Netflix, which they for sure did, some of it could have been licensed as "per-stream" or something similar;

It's probably costing them more when people stream those titles, then those titles generate.

I'd be super curious to see how the accuracy changes with averaging out/low-pass filtering the measurements. Accuracy usually improves proportional to sqrt(N) when you take N samples so your higher precision desire might just be a bit of code to write.

The other side of it though is that you're starting to get down into the "everything needs to be temperature controlled" region as you squeeze that precision number. FR-4 and copper have thermal expansion coefficients around 15-20ppm/C. If I'm doing this mental math correctly, a 5 deg temperature rise would make a 1m long piece of FR4 expand by 0.1mm, or a 10cm piece of FR4 expand by 0.01mm.

Vermont has been voting Democrats straight since 1992. You got it backwards - EC allows any presidential candidate to completely and comfortably ignore Vermont because nothing they do would change any outcome. (Hell, after this election, I'm not even sure if either candidate going on live TV with "Fuck Vermont!" would have changed anything.) If you are a presidential candidate and you spend an hour thinking about what Vermont needs, then you're wasting one hour of your precious time.

Ditto for, say, Oklahoma (straight R since 1968).
The better thing is the original: psuedoephedrine. It was never impossible to buy, it just required going to the pharmacy counter and showing ID. I knew about this when it happened in the 2000's because my dad needed Sudafed often, but the changeover was almost certainly invisible to most people given that the packaging is essentially identical between the two versions of the product.

With a decent set of vernier calipers (I have Brown and Sharpe ones) they're accurate to 0.001" (0.02mm) every time. But what's nice about analog measuring tools is you can actually reliably achieve better accuracy--like 0.0005" +/- 0.00025"--by "reading between the lines". I can reliably take finishing cuts accurately to a few ten thousandths of an inch using vernier calipers (confirmed by checking with a micrometer accurate to 0.0001").

The only application I've encountered where digital tools work better for me is having a DRO on a mill is extremely convenient.
> this is some weird conservative talking point and isn't true. here's a news article showing SPD chasing a stolen car just months ago:

The poster you responded to was correct until June 2024 and you're correct after June 2024, here are the details (I live in Seattle):

Law passed in 2021 restricted chases to people suspected of:

1-Violent offense

2-Sex offense

3-Domestic violence assault

4-Vehicular assault

5-DUI

6-Escape from prison/jail

That law was rolled back in June of 2024 to allow pursuit if there is reasonable suspicion of violating the law.

I work great under pressure, but leaning on that long-term keeps me in a constant state of high stress, which messes with my baseline mood. I’ve found that clearing my head really helps, and I’ve been using the Sam Harris meditation app for that.

Most mornings, I’ll get a run in before work, and sometimes I do track workouts with my Garmin watch + VO2 app. The VO2 app has preset workouts e.g a warm-up mile, 4x400m at a target pace with 1-minute recoveries, then a cool-down mile. My Garmin tracks everything—the distances and the pace I actually ran—so I’m not having to think too much about it during the workout.

Afterwards, I get a summary with accuracy ratings on how close I was to my distance and pace targets. It’s awesome because I can track my performance over time and actually see that I’m hitting faster paces with less effort. That’s been great for building my confidence. I’ve been wanting something similar for desk work—a “workout plan” of timed laps to guide me through tasks and track my focus duration.

I’ve put together a rough version where I ask ChatGPT to make me a “workout plan” for desk tasks, and I made a lap-timer app on my Mac to parse it. Made a quick quick video showing an example for emails, though I'm not opening emails for the demo—just hitting the laps. https://youtu.be/tH7KFLC2640

If anyone knows of a better solution, I'm willing to try!

> the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

The explanation doesn't get much better at higher levels. You have the Krebs cycle which biology people religiously memorize but it doesn't really explain much either. The actual interesting part is usually handwaved away as "magical enzyme/protein" catalysis. Understanding how the mitochondrial proteins/enzyme catalysts function would usually require a graduate degree, and maybe a background in biochemistry and biophysics.
I'm not questioning your experience at all—the trouble is that you have a lot of context pre-loaded into memory, which readers of internet comments completely lack. If you don't want to come across the wrong way, you need to account for that beforehand. Basically how I often put it is: the burden is on the commenter to disambiguate. That's especially true when it comes to your intent, which is something only you have access to.

The ongoing WordPress fiasco is a good sign of what happens when you set up an independent organization too soon.

Back a couple of years ago your CEO and another CF employee explained free plans got routed to other PoPs:

> Not all sites will be in all cities. Generally you’re correct that Free sites may not be in some smaller PoPs depending on capacity and what peering relationships we have.

https://x.com/eastdakota/status/1254118993188642816

> The higher the plan the higher the priority, so if capacity is an issue (for whatever issue, from straight up usage to DDoSes) free sites will get dropped from specific locations sooner. Usually you will still maintain the main locations.

A lot of the graphics that explain how CRISPR work show this very careful snipping of a strand of DNA. Tiny little scissors making pinpoint accuracy revisions. I think that's lead to a deep misunderstanding for most people (including myself) on how this technology actually works.

CRISPR is amazing, but it's still a fairly blunt tool. The article talks about one way: guide RNA can often bind to sequences that are very similar to the intended sequence, but not exactly, meaning it's probable that for every intended cut you're making several unintended ones. The "scissor" action itself, Cas9 protein, is less like a scissor cut and more like a jagged tear, which can damage surrounding DNA.

The repair pathways themselves are also imperfect. It's not a copy/paste like infographics show, it's more like emergency duct taping broken ends together.

All of that stuff combined...Again, amazing technology, but I get extremely nervous when I hear people talk about introducing CRISPR-based gene editing into the human gene pool. The generational effects there are still entirely unpredictable at this stage, could be disastrous, and any actual paths to trying to roll things back would be deeply ethically fraught.
Here is an animation of the Mitochondria in action.
The mitochondria has two cell membranes. The gap in between is called the intermembrane space. It is also positively charged with protons. There are complexes 1-4 which continuously pump protons into this space. The ATP synthase molecule harnesses these protons, similar to a water wheel harnessing the flow of water, to make ATP which is the energy molecule the cell uses.

> which I think is why people like it

Do people actually care that much about languages? I mean, we're here writing English, which is a complete dumpster fire. Go is undeniable perfection compared to the horror that is English. Clearly you and I don't care that much about languages.

I expect people like Go because of its tooling (what also saves English), which was a million miles ahead of the pack when it first came out. Granted, everyone else took notice, so the gap has started to narrow.

> It feels like it fights any attempt at using it to do things optimally or quickly.

Serious question: Is that because you are trying to write code in another language with Go syntax? Go unquestionably requires a unique mental model that doesn't transfer from other languages; even those that appear similar on the surface. Because of that, I posit that it is a really hard language to learn. It is easy to get something working, but I mean truly learn it.

While every programming language requires its own mental model, Go seems to take it to another level (before reaching a completely different paradigm). I expect that is because its lack of features prevents you from papering over "misuse" like is possible in other, more featureful languages, so you feel it right away instead of gradually being able build the right mental model.

The UK climate is, currently, very good at growing grass. You can continuously graze cattle all year round in most of the country, as long as you rotate them between fields every few days.
