Man you're a killjoy, but you can't really say they can't estimate it as you don't know the specifics of what they saw, so there's speculation on your part too. I'd say you get a rough estimate, but you can't know for sure especially at night.

Although in this case if the person thinks it was low, and slow, that's less remarkable than if it was high and fast, because then it would be giant.

Overall, I'd say we're "converging on truth" because of all the reports. Like sparsity, even if each report is incomplete or has innacuracy overall we can build a picture, which is what we're doing. Killjoy. Hahahaha :)

It is completely impossible to deny anybody the option of death unless you have them imprisoned.
Heh, those things look super fun. It would be funny if some of these turn out to be that, tho I doubt it.

What's weird is the authorities are saying: "we don't know what they are, but we know for sure they're not a threat." This doesn't make sense. No one is allowing them to be there, it's safer to assume they're a threat until you know for sure what they are.

Hello there! Thank you so much for the comment and the good luck

So essentially the adjustment works the same as conical and flat burrs, except the burrs need to move way more for the same amount of adjustment (it’s about 19:1, instead of 1:1 for flat and conical). When the engineering problems are worked out with the grinder basically telescoping, this translates to much more repeatability in adjustments.

I definitely hear you on dark roasts, I like them as well, and I will absolutely make an alternate burr set that is more flexible - it’s just a matter of what to prioritize when launching a decently high priced grinder, where light and medium roasts benefit the most from the attention.

And argh yes oculo was a working name when the hopper looked more like an eye but now it looks less like an eye! Thanks for catching that. I’ll change the tab behavior, I wasn’t sure how to handle that.
The US is a mess too, and isn't likely to get better. This is in fact the reason I firmly hope some form of legal assisted suicide is available when I get old enough to need it. Societies with no safety net, where anyone -- even the reasonably well-off, like myself -- can end up unhoused with no medical care through a stroke or two of bad luck, need this right the most.

If we had a functioning system for providing the necessities of life for everyone, suicide would obviously be less necessary.

> it's Git developers wanting to use Rust.

They're full time developers exclusively for git? How long have they been doing this? What is the set of their contributions to date? Of the total set of developers how many of them want this?

Is their set of desires anything more than "lets use Rust?" Is there a specific set of new functionality that would depend on it? New use cases that could be served with it? Is there even a long term plan for "new new C code" at some date?

I sense disaster fomented by poorly articulated goals.

> Also, there's already a separate from-scratch re-implementation of git in Rust (gitoxide).

Sounds perfect. Then each project can maintain the focus on their core language and not potentially take several steps backwards by hacking two incompatible pieces together with no roadmap.

No, it's like comparing editions of basically the same book ("Hominid"), with some paragraphs using slightly different wording, a phrase added or removed here and there, old typos fixed, new typos added, etc. It's still largely the same book, but the tone is different in some key places, and the finale leaves a very different impression as a result.

The Pentagon doesn’t like much of anything to be known about its satellites. The Vera Rubin Observatory will likely make awkward eye contact with some of them. Many of them are telescopes in their own right, but instead of tilting up toward the sky, they point down at Earth. … Each time the telescope were to take one of its 30-second tile images of the sky, the file would be immediately encrypted, without anyone looking at it first, and then sent on to a secure facility in California. … Three days and eight hours later, the entire tile image would be released to astronomers, untouched by black marker or any other technology of redaction.
By then, the spy satellites would likely have gone somewhere else. They are elusive, after all. Their orbits are irregular, and they shift direction often. Not even the world’s most accomplished astronomers would be able to infer their present locations from a line of light streaking through a three-day-old image.

> There isn't a cabal of people

There are people who take "Rust evangelism" to a level that few other languages have witnessed. In the old days you could find serious arguments that not using Rust was akin to violating human rights by a series of absurd extensions. It is unusual and it is remarkable.

> A lot of these suggestions are coming from people who have significant experience with unsafe languages and are sick of having to keep dealing with them.

And my commentary is coming from experience in codebases that try to "modernize" themselves incrementally, particularly, open source code bases. I would love a 100% Rust git replacement. The idea of slowly subsuming Rust into C git feels like a distracting and misplaced effort.

The hypothesis is interesting, and even likable. But the methods and everything afterwards just didn't align with any interpretation of the philosophy of science. I'm disheartened in seeing research like this taken seriously.

It's also worth mentioning that although English doesn't explicitly require you do do any of this, we generally have ways of conveying respect/familiarity (by tweaking the formality of our register).
It seems strange to call now early on rust given how long it has been around.

I personally believe that rust has some intractable problems that make it quite unlikely that it ever reaches even half of c/c++ level ubiquity. The problems begin with the incredible complexity of the language which manifests in cryptic error messages, puzzling syntax and brutal compile times. The latter especially is a complete non starter for me. I would have to be at risk of going homeless with slinging rust as my only employment option before I would voluntarily subject myself to rust compile times every day.

My hunch is that we are going to see smaller, more specialized languages take off in the next decade. Compared to past eras, it is now so much easier to build quality language tooling that we can have the best of both worlds: small targeted languages, optimized for the relevant problem domain, _and_ professional quality tooling.

I've been a paramedic for a long time and I completely agree with this. Years ago I may have been against something like MAID, but once I got into healthcare and especially this job, I now fully support it. It's something that I would hope is there for myself when I need it.

If it's not, unfortunately, I've seen what people will do anyway. Allowing people to die with dignity and on their own terms is something that I believe in.

This was originally billed as "The Pink Floyd Movie" and was only in selected movie theaters, because there had to be facilities to accomodate the Quadraphonic surround sound concert speaker system that toured with it.

So I don't know if this is part of it any more, but the live Pompeii scenes were all material from before Dark Side, ensemble playing and it looked like they were having a good time there.

In the original movie, between the outdoor live scenes where they were just having fun, they would cut to out-takes from Dark Side studio sessions, often one member at a time with headphones, subdued atmosphere, carefuly crafting an effort to be as popular as they could be. Not boring but you could tell they were not having the same kind of fun. Very interesting actually but excitement jumped back up whenever they cut back to Pompeii.

It was basically a documentary of what it was like before most people ever heard of them.

And it looked like they really wanted people to see the difference in the previous stuff that millions had missed not only on record, but missed live when it was first released.

Do most folks have a desire to be productive?
From doing a quick survey among friend groups and going through some case studies, most folks working in corporates tend to not have the desire to be more productive, whereas folks in smaller firms always have the desire to be more productive but don't have the means. Why do you folks think so?
> In one case, which was surprising to me, a man who had survived cancer - he was not terminal but certainly wasn't getting any better - elected to die via MAID after his wife died. She passed, he called his doctor and less than a week later he was also dead. He got a chance to visit his family, apparently drive around his hobby farm one more time and then that was it. He didn't want to deal with being alone and seriously ill.

For some reason this made me emotional. I think I would make the same choice if I were in this position.
FYI, seeing this comment, I went back and tested again with my actual credit card number and the situation was the same.
He does call out a lot of corruption, much of it prima facie. And given how much there is, who conspired with who else (or not) is neither here nor there.

Alex and the circa 2010 Occupy Wall Street crowd have a lot more in common with each other than the "other side", which would be the warmongering "Neocons". But this might be more than some will want to contend with cognitively. Easier to bamboozle someone than tell them they have been bamboozled, and all that.

Reader mode gave me some brief content.
One thing I'm wondering about is what text encoding the program should use to output. I tend to write scripts that output exclusively in UTF-8, but I realise this might not be a given. (And, of course, the user's terminal expected encoding setting doesn't necessarily mean that files should be written in that encoding.)

Presumably, you would ideally output text in whatever encoding is specified by the LANG environment variable, but this seems like something that only comes with full i18n/l10n support, since it also specifies the actual language to use.

Are there any actual established guidelines on this?

How could that be? The only genetic difference is the presence of the Y chromosome. If it were the same size as all the others, it would be a 1/46 difference, so about 2%. But it is smaller than all the others, so maybe 1% or even less difference . The other 45 chromosomes are the same for men and women.

PDFs are essentially a representation of PostScript. PostScript itself is expected to be run in a VM and relativepy straightforward to be isolated/sandboxed.

So there is a certain sense of absurdity of needing to spin up an entire VM just to render a PDF. Running a standard PostScript renderer in a user executable (perhaps in a chroot jail to be a little bit paranoid) should be enough for safety. Or just stick it inside a Docker.

The 3 finger tap is infuriatingly hard to trigger for me since if you don’t sync your fingers’ taps perfectly, you’re tapping random elements on the screen, potentially doing something bad, like saving/sending out the bad change, that you were trying to undo.

I haven’t kept up with Windows over the recent years but it looks like Cairo Desktop exists that allows some degree of shell customization in that world. Many years ago lots of shell options like LiteStep existed (they weren’t the most stable, but they existed). Many were likely hacked out solutions as they hooked in via replacing the explorer library IIRC.

So while in Linux it’s intentionally modular, I wouldn’t say it’s the only place it’s possible. Maybe the most practical, for sure.

As we move more to service oriented everything though, that becomes increasingly less feasible. I suppose to some degree it’s more flexible because web apps at some point give you all the rendering code locally to muck with however you may want to but the frequency of change in UIs on top of its complexity seems like this world will always be unapproachable for customization, and that’s for services that are using browsers. Forget it if theres some local application doing rendering (like the Microsoft app with Azure services).
Having used one for about 18 months put me off the entire surface lineup. It sure was good looking though.
