Same, I had a Capresso grinder for about 11 years now and it works fine. Parts are available as well. I’m sure that there are better ones, but it makes me wonder if it’s like audiophile territory. I don’t think I would be able to tell the difference if I were to upgrade.

Foucalt is the intersection of power and media: the use of “science” as a body, rather than a process, as a means of control.

Deluze is methods of community organization beyond the heirarchial.

Derrida is, well, literary criticism. You want Baudrillard for a less-incomprehensible take.

I thought we broadly considered identity politics a very bad thing, worth suppressing in the court of public opinion. Yet here we have "rural identity" identified as a definite thing. What's up with that?
Rare to see a physical product release here. Congratulations!

On the surface, the problem you are solving looks clear and the product itself looks amazing.

But curious what actual baristas think of your product. I don’t see any product reviews on YT, but I suppose it’s not entirely unusual for a brand new product.

Good luck, definitely keeping a tab on this product. Need to migrate away from buying to making it at home. And this product would be perfect for the limited counter space I have.

Because it's a random axis to split the data on and you only do it for the US, which makes zero sense to do when comparing entire countries.

What about Tunisian immigrants in France? Maybe they'd be at the very top? What about Whites in all countries? Maybe White kids across the globe are better than White kids in the US, which would put the US at the bottom?

We cannot conclude that "US education is amongst the top in the world" from the chart you presented.
This isn't unique to Starbase. See also: Chernobyl/Pripyat.

Many cities arose around a major industrial operation, including the city I live in, Ostrava. Ostrava used to be a micro-town of around 1000 people from the 13th century (foundation) into the early 19th century, but with discovery of black coal, it swelled to its max size of 330 000 (reached around 1990), the entire urban area is close to a million people.

True, black coal mines and steel foundries cannot kill the entire city at once, but the pollution kills people slowly anyway.
A million NZD plus however much you spend on fixing it up so it doesn't make you sick or kill you in an earthquake.

Yeah, 18 months ago I was struggling with a philosophy book and on the street saw an ad for a professor who does tutoring. I thought, "What the heck!" and signed up to see what happened. We meet every couple of weeks and it has been great. I don't in general find philosophy's answers particularly useful, but the questions and the habit of questioning has been great.

I do get though, why systems of power want to defund things like philosophy and sociology. Good questions and good data are two things that run counter to the willful exercise of power.
I think it's more of an identity politics thing, and the elephant in the room (pun intended) is the degree to which one political party uses both rural identity and anti-intellectualism as a form of populist virtue signaling, and pushes the narrative of an intractible "cold civil war" brewing between "city dwellers" and "rural folk."

In reality of course culture is by and large manufactured by corporations and normalized by social media, such that anti-intellectualism and "rural identity" depend far more on the bubbles of hyperreality one inhabits than one's physical location, wealth or educational level.

For a long time this was how I identified coffee shops I would like in new cities. Places that serve good, single-origin coffee in a "third wave" style (as opposed to, for example, more "traditional" coffee shops, particularly in Europe, which probably sell darker roasts).

Now, of course, it's become almost universal so is no longer a particularly strong indicator of anything.

I do work in public sector archiving, mainly retirement of software systems that have been replaced but hold information that needs to be stored for archival purposes.

The archiving software in this area is quite obnoxious and user unfriendly, so it happens every now and then that counties or government agencies decide to just print the lot of it on paper and put it in physical archives.

Also consider that what is pictured misses many of the parts that makes up the full setup. For the hot water supply, it requires something like a kettle on the side. Also, as mentioned, it also requires an external power brick and something to act as a drip tray.

Seeing the full setup as envisioned would be nice. With the machine, kettle and grinder, all plugged in, and with all the accessories. This is an unusual machine, looking at the pictures, I have no idea how making my morning coffee with it would be like.
What’s more realistic in the near-term is that conventional gain-of-function research creates a terrible, conventional bacterium that’s more deadly than Ebola and resistant to all of the antibiotics that we mass produce.

If there was an advantage to being opposite-handed, some bacterium would have done it by now. The article even says that researchers just found out that e-coli can consume different-handed food.

I’m guessing that the first discovery in this area, the ambi-vory of e-coli, is not really all that unique. Medical and biological science is still just scratching the surface. They’re still cataloguing new components of human anatomy, things you could have found with a microscope centuries ago… It is highly unlikely that out of the universe of billions of years of bacteria, e-coli is the singular organism that went down this route to the furthest extent that was advantageous. The fact that they found one example with their limited resources tells me that this is not so improbable.

The fear-mongering just sounds like a funding push to me. The basic research will be enriching for humanity, if it doesn’t create the very thing from which it purports to save us, though I’m thinking this messaging is a bit out there. Could you engineer a super-bioweapon this way? Probably. But there are easier ways to do that with information that’s already in the textbooks.

Some applications print usage information (e.g. with --help flag) to stderr. That is a bit annoying when there is a lot of output and I just want to grep for some flag, since the first attempt will fail and then I have to try again after adding 2>&1.

Yeah, I am a pretty big fan of inheritance, but that makes me cringe. Don't do this unless you understand the semantics of the class, and even then probably don't.
Forget safety, but wouldn't adding more people around the launch site make the required permits even more difficult to get? You have to close the roads, the beach, issue "over-pressure event" notices, and so on.
Show HN: Places-env, secure version control of environment files
Now that I have your attention (“Don’t you dare version control environment files!!”, “This can’t be safe.”) and before you tear me and my project to shreds, please allow me to take a moment to celebrate something small but meaningful: I’ve finally released a thing. Thank you.

Motivation tl;dr: The existing tools and libraries for versioning and syncing environment files / secrets across team members and CI machines just didn’t cut it for me. So, I set out to create my own solution — one finally checks all my boxes.

So what is places-env?

(I encourage you to check the readme https://github.com/marckrenn/places-env/tree/develop?tab=rea... over on GitHub – it will all make a lot more sense with the corresponding schematic.)

- places-env is a self-contained, completely free open-source (FOSS) alternative to HashiCorp Vault, Infisical, dotenv-vault and sops.

- Leverages a single source of truth (SSOT) places.yaml for deriving multiple environment files.

- Similar to sops, places-env encrypts only the values in places.yaml, resulting in places.enc.yaml, which can be securely checked into git:

- Congrats, your SSOT is now version-controlled

- Always synchronized with collaborators

- Fully in-sync with the rest of your code, branches and tags (try doing that with Infisical & co.)

- Changes remain 'human-trackable' — even when values are encrypted

- Contrary to sops, encryption keys can be assigned either per environment or on a per-value basis

- Provides a straightforward setup with no dependency on external services or libraries.

- places watch start (persistently) tracks changes in places.yaml / places.enc.yaml and automatically handles encryption, decryption, keeps .gitignore up-to-date, and auto-updates environment files. So it's essentially set and forget.

If you’re intrigued, please also check out the readme’s FAQ section https://github.com/marckrenn/places-env/tree/develop?tab=rea....

Feedback, criticism, etc. is, of course, very welcome.
I think I heard that there's been a pretty bad brain drain recently due to low wages compared to Australia
This is two ways of saying the same thing.

To use a computing metaphor, every animal has "buildtime" predispositions and "runtime" choice-making ability. That "runtime" decision making is based on exercising free will, but of course free will is a biologically built-in capability which executes on the deterministic "VM" that is our physical universe.

i.e., we have free will from the perspective of ourselves, but if you zoom out, that free will is just another predetermined physical phenomena.
mkbhd over the years has had some really bad takes on tech. I haven’t used his channel for quite awhile.

Yes, but the expected outcome of being in a fight or pulling a deadly weapon is much worse than the expected outcome of not being in a fight in the first place.

I get you; someone can look helpless but be packing a Desert Eagle .50 and prepared to use it in any trouble. I don’t see how that is an advantage over not looking helpless, unless the idea is to attract trouble and then kill it.
A friend of ours had a Tandy that had BASICA, which was basically a GW-BASIC clone, and our 386 had QBASIC since we had DOS 5.0

The problem was, almost all of the books at our school and library were either for Apple or some weird offshoot (PET for example) BASIC, so none of the joystick, graphics, etc code worked. There were some other books that were more business-oriented that talked about GWBASIC, but as an 11 year old I wasn't interested in balancing checkbooks.

QBASIC had a pretty good online help system in the editor and a couple code examples, and I had a ton of fun when I discovered *SCREEN 13*. Maybe if I had gotten a copy of QuickBASIC (compilable and there were some game-related libraries available on AOL/CompuServe), I wouldn't have been so eager to jump ship over to Turbo Pascal and Turbo C (although it would have made more sense imo to stick with TP, as C was a lot harder/slower to do anything in as a newbie)
> I don't see where that hypothetical danger lies. Deduplicating code is a basic refactorizarion step.

Deduplication is one thing and fine, but creating inheritance hierarchies should not be used for simple code reuse, but for representing relationships.

If you can't get funding for your research, or publish under your real name if you do, it's certainly going curtail research at least. It could still happen if some nations refuse to endorse the ban, but there will at least be less of it, which means less risk.

(I work on rust-analyzer)

We don't share the query infrastructure in rust-analyzer, but rust-analyzer is a query-driven system. We use Salsa (https://github.com/salsa-rs/salsa/), which is strongly inspired by rustc's query system, down to the underlying red/green algorithm (https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/queries/incremental-co...), hence the name: Salsa.

It makes sense if you expect to have a lot of employees based there, which I imagine they want.

But it also seems odd to plan a big population center near to the launch site given the loud sonic booms it will be generating. And as you say, a city implies way more than just SpaceX employees, you also need all the services and infrastructure that people expect in life.
I think a tendency toward animal husbandry, either genetic or cultural, is just clearly an evolutionary benefit. We domesticated all the various things we keep as pets and livestock for what were good reasons in the ancestral environment, even if those reasons don't persist for most people today.
My eyes have minor issues, but the largest contributor were the colors. At the time with fvwm I had no issues at all.

KDE4 was better but the issue still existed. KDE5 I can last most of the day. Hoping KDE6 is better. FWIW, Gnome* also never caused issues.

I did spend lots of time looking for a color theme for it and in the 4.0 days I found a theme I think was called "happy_eyes", it worked with minor tweaks. For KDE5 I found calm-eyes.

>I just do not understand why you want to die on this hill that there's a grand conspiracy to keep bernie from winning the 2016 DNC

I'm not dying on any hill, especially for the farce that is modern politics. They are all corrupt, both parties. I typically support whomever is in office because I want to country to succeed, and they've all disappointed me.

I'm sorry you can't see it, just keep that in the back of your head when you consume political news. Try to watch both sides, it might become clearer. Keep in mind, each news source has a favorite and they typically won't report on the bad things their favorite does, you have to find that elsewhere. It's like having a defendant with no prosecutor and vice versa.

>These are corporate donations, which btw Democrats gets more and yet have been pushing for more anti-trust cases and

Their remedy for Google is to have them divest Chrome? That's not meaningful at all. How many mergers have they allowed in the last 20 years? Mergers are by nature anti-competitive. They just allowed Activision-Blizzard merger that cost 1900 jobs so far. This is what donations from Google buys, a slap on the wrist by still allowing the Democrats to look like they actually did something; spoiler, they didn't. This also pretty much ensures Google won't face any other anti-trust legislation, at least from the Democrats, probably in my lifetime. Pat on the back, job well done.

Thinking about it, this is the exact same remedy they wanted for Microsoft in the late 90s. That is just for show and no real anti-monopoly remedy. We need real breakups like AT&T in the mid 80s. Something that restores competition and jobs. You won't find any of that from today's Democrats.

Remember when the Obama administration bailed out the banks but let everyone else in trouble lose their house and a deep discount? I sure do.

>been the most pro-union government in almost 20 years and this is the smoking gun of "corporate shills in the Democrats!"?

They have done almost nothing legislatively to reverse the damage the GOP has done to unions. They also support neoliberal economic theory and globalization, just like the GOP. Talk about killing jobs. NAFTA was pitched to the public supported by Clinton/Gore. Ross Perot, of all people was the lone objector in the 1992 race, stating "We have got to stop sending jobs overseas. It's pretty simple: If you're paying $12, $13, $14 an hour for factory workers and you can move your factory South of the border, pay a dollar an hour for labor, ... have no health care—that's the most expensive single element in making a car— have no environmental controls, no pollution controls and no retirement, and you don't care about anything but making money, there will be a giant sucking sound going south."

Today's Democrats are all talk and no action because the public buys that and they don't risk their donor's affection. We used to call this "lip service." Keep believing they are actually doing something; and that's what they will keep doing: nothing but lip service.
You are deliberately missing the point and confusing X with ‘something that looks like X’.
For eg., using QBasic, you can pick some random spot on the monitor and have a white dot show up at that spot. What you end up doing is directly writing to the vga buffer address of that spot. That’s the X. You can directly talk to LPT1 and directly get the dot matrix printer to print an ascii character. That’s the X.
All these things were possible because the synergy between the hardware and the software was extreme. QBasic was just a shim. You were directly talking to the hardware in as few steps as you possibly could. The assembler code for your BAS file could be inspected and you could even muck with that.

All of that has gone out the door. What you have with javascript is something that looks like X. So I can use a html canvas element and get its drawing context and do an arc with the right parameters and fill and hide the scrollbar with some css and pretend that what you now see is like the X. But its not! To actually get rid of the browser window and only have the white dot, you would need a full blown electron install or worse. And it still wouldn’t get you to the X. We already had X. Now we have something that barely approaches X after a great deal of effort.This is supposed to be progress ?!!

You are describing a seq lock. Hans Boehm [1] has discussed in details the impedance mismatch between seq lock and the acquire/release model, and the bottom line is that you need compiler help to recognize non-modifying RMW that are purely used to establish ordering and lower them the correct optimal sequence. No compiler does it yet so we all hack it around.
