The Lancet suggests that the difference between very poor nutrition and great nutrition adds up to roughly 8 inches (20cm) of adult height. Height remains very genetically heritable, aside from that.

My definition of "best engineers in the world" are people that have wildly successful GitHub accounts. I'm very glad I'm in an industry with losers that don't know how to compete. It's like playing on easy mode!
Again it uses 'the people' in the 4th amendment though, which is usually argued as applying generally to people without a difference. Based on wording 2A and 4A applies to tourists, or neither do.
Too bad it's an ACT!
There is little expectation of return, the way they present it. Contrast that to actually purchasing software, where they are required by law to deliver what you pay for or give your money back.
Yes, this is abusive, however (back to our subject) AFAIK there is free media in Germany (TV, radio, newspapers...), and they enjoy a fair audience. Therefore in Germany public opinion isn't really managed by the government.

A. Merkel was pro-nuclear (she holds a PhD in quantum chemistry). During the 2000's she tried hard to slow down the phase-out process, and extended reactors' life in September 2010.
This shows you don’t know what extreme poverty is and how horrible it is.

What-about-ism is an elitist way to pretend to care yet do nothing.

Imagine it was your country and your project which eliminated extreme poverty. No doubt you would be bending over backwards to listen to someone who “read an article” on the other side of the world
My bad, you’re right. So instead of happening in 1/9 elections before this last one it’s 2/9. A dramatic difference indeed. What else is incorrect?
Democrats are screwed on economic messaging until they join Republicans in dropping neoliberalism. Was never popular, but both parties could stick to it as long as neither "defected". Now one has.

Even when the economy's good, they're going to be hindered on messaging until they drop that.

Meanwhile a bunch of them are running around like "the problem's that we were too nice to trans people!" lol no, the problem is the latent one that's been hanging there waiting to be triggered by one party or the other since the '80s, the one any expert should have been watching for a shift in—or looking to move first on—this entire time.

From my experience Brother is definitely the best of a bad lot. Also, I've had no problems with 3rd party cartridges.

I agree, whilst HP leads the disreputable pack and second is Canon I've just had major poblems with Epson—cartridges not† being empty and the printer refusing to print, or refusing to print in B&W when a color cartridge is empty. I even had to exchange a printer and upgrade it for a more expensive one because it jammed paper—and even then the replacement had to be exchanged because of a fault (a thin black line running vertically down the page that couldn't be eliminated).

I've now a collection of partly-used and new cartridges from the first printer that I cannot use as they don't fit the replacement model. This whole system of forever changing cartridges from one model to the next is a fucking scam.

Does anyone know of say a source of firmware hacks that can override this crap?

† I now weigh cartilages and mark their weight in grams before using them, I then do the same when 'empty' which doesn't necessarily mean they're actually empty—which I determine by opening them. Doing this is also a sure way of determining the cost of the ink which where I am works out to be over $2,000/litre.
wow I guess great minds really do think alike, I did almost the same exact thing a few years ago, but eventually gave up as my type hierarchy grew too complex.

You could probably represent a lot more complex relations with similar strategies by adding one or two cleanup instructions to union/intersection operations, but whenever I've tried to do it, my head gets dizzy from all the possibilities. And so far I've been unable to find software that can assist in generating such functions.
The A7000s sort of passed me by as I had a RiscPC at the time (which predicatably I really regret selling).

I always wanted an FPU for my RiscPC, do you know how much difference they made day to day?

Anecdata sure … but I know some Russians that left Russia because of the war and unfortunately I know some that support it, too.

Buuuuut to say that Russia === Putin and they’re the same in that his war is their war is insane. IIF they had real open elections and still went to war then I’d say you have a point. But they don’t. It’s very much a war he is doing not that they want.
Tools like direnv gets .env files out of repo paths and improves things a lot. You can integrate secrets management in code, but with that there's still no getting away with the assumption that some kind of auth mechanism exists in your env
Not trusting signal's build and building it yourself is a reasonable thing to do.

Not trusting signal's build and then turning around and trusting some third party build seems strange. The official build probably has more eyes on it, and signal has more reputation to lose.

German curriculum is state and school difficulty level dependent to a degree, so what I say may not apply to Bavaria for example. I was taught quite extensively about the various German states with extra detail starting at the French revolution and very detailed Weimar and Third Reich.

Germany's role in colonialism was always limited compared to the other European powers. We were late to the game and lost them after WW1, so it was more of a footnote. It did mention our colonies in East Africa and South East Asia but only mentioned the genocide against the Herero without a mention of details.
The Atlantic Slave and trade was covered in great detail both in history and English lessons. Same for the Spanish and Portuguese exploitation of South and Middle America.
Even if it were entirely organized, it still wouldn't be illegal.
the reality is, the netherlands is a right leaning country, look at the last election results.
A lot of people in the netherlands are very divided about poltics (stop the war, and side with the US, leave the EU, or give more money to ukraine and are pro EU). I hear about this on a daily basis at work. I am quite sick hearing about it. As a hiring manger at one of the big four banks in the netherlands, seeing something like the flags, is a obvious sign as to what side the OP leans towards. Having enough issues on my plate, and not needing another person to start a debate between team members at work is enough for me to stop, and not hire said person. The OP is or was a zzp'er (freelancer) in the netherlands. I think it's a little silly to limit your future contracts by brining in politics into tech. What's the purpose of having it there?
One might use a variation on the idea, like how 1Password does it. Everything in your .env is just a pointer so it's safe to commit.
Pretty neat.

I always thought something like this would be a great idea for MMOs. Your account would be limited to a game with a timeslot that's only up 1-2 hours a day. So you could play consistently, but not have to play too long to keep up with other players.
A lot of the value of the USD is that it's the defacto currency for oil and other markets.

Other countries do business in dollars. This makes the dollar valuable as a trade currency. This means large foreign governments like(and need) to hold large amounts of USD.

The confidence in the USD is dropping very quickly, especially in Europe and Asia. This means countries will move to do business in other currencies, as those currencies will be viewed as more stable(or whatever other reason).

Seems to work just fine. Typically they post a photo of the whole collection, and a text list of the items and prices, which they update as things sell. They're usually wanting to sell more than one game to each buyer, so it's much easier to coordinate in a single listing.

There's a cool plugin for vscode called Highlight[1] that lets you set custom regexes to apply different colors to your code. I think a common use of this is to make //TODO comments yellow, but I use it to de-emphasize logs, which add a lot of visual noise because I put them EVERYWHERE. The library I maintain uses logs that look like:

this.logger?.info('Some logs here');

So I apply 0.4 opacity to it so that it kind of fades into the background. It's still visible, but at a glance, the actual business logic code pops out at you. This is my configuration for anyone who wants to modify it:

//In vscode settings.json:
"highlight.regexes": {
"((?:this\\.)?(?:_)?logger(?:\\?)?.(debug|error|info|warn)[^\\)]*\\)\\;)": {
"regexFlags": "gmi",
"decorations": [{
"opacity": "0.4"
}]
}
},

How I hate articles like this, painting everything as "existential" threat. Feeding the paranoia that has grubbed the US. Everything is viewed as a threat.
That, and the unfortunate truth that if Firefox only exists because Google needs a fig leaf against monopoly charges, it hasn't proven its value in enough ways for it to stick around. I love Firefox, but the market in general has centralized on Chromium for a lot of reasons.

Philosophical reasons to exist are great, but philosophy doesn't pay the bills, it seems.
People have to keep buying new HP printers because their old ones keep breaking. Consumers are not rational or well-informed.

In contrast, my Brother HL-5340D printer from 2008 is still working fine to this day.

There have been been zero required firmware updates that could have, as HP said in their release notes, "improved firmware update and cartridge rejection experiences." It doesn't reject cartridges, it still takes the same TN-620 toner replacements made by Brother or a hundred other vendors. I'm unconcerned about security because the only connections are a USB type B 2.0 input that presents a PCL/CUPS compatible driver... and also a DB-25/Centronics printer port, of course, as a printer should have.

I gave Brother like $250 of my limited cash as a sophomore engineering student in college, and a nominal $50 for a remanufactured toner cartridge every 3000 pages (several years) and then haven't bought a replacement printer for home since then. I don't know if I've ever replaced the drum, but I should probably do that - it's old enough to vote and deserves to be freshened up. I suppose I have bought a several of their printers for work and I've recommended Brother lasers to a bunch of family members for who I'm 'the tech guy', so that's some revenue in their direction, but probably less profit than if I'd bought a new HP inkjet and a couple HP cartridges every 2 years.

Also consider that not only have I spent less money on printers than an HP buyer, I've encouraged far less inventory turnover for the vendors: Why would HP/Staples/Wal Mart/wherever normal people buy printers devote sales attention and shelf space to keeping a Brother printer in stock when a 36yo adult within driving distance only needs to buy one such printer in their lifetime, when they can turn over a pallet of disposable inkjets on a weekly basis?

HP's many failures keep them from going bankrupt, not the other way around. This does not mean that their business practices should be imitated.
Do you have evidence that _any_ other software would not be prone to this kind of errors, taking into account the fact that at the scale of dozens of billions of dollars, the numbers you mentioned seem like rounding errors (except for the first one which would deserve a reference)?
Why bother? Let Bill Hicks explain.....

You know I've noticed a certain anti-intellectualism going around
this country ever since around 1980, coincidentally enough. I was in
Nashville, Tennessee last weekend and after the show I went to a
waffle house and I'm sitting there and I'm eating and reading a
book. I don't know anybody, I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a
book. This waitress comes over to me (mocks chewing gum) 'what you
readin' for?'...wow, I've never been asked that; not 'What am I
reading', 'What am I reading for?' Well, goddamnit, you stumped
me...I guess I read for a lot of reasons — the main one is so I
don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress. - Bill Hicks
I'm in the same boat. I wouldn't be as upset if the Canon range was uniformly excellent. But every one of their RF ultra-wide zooms suffers from softness or extreme vignetting. I sent back a $2200 RF 15-35mm, and for landscapes I now just use my iPhone Pro.
When Firefox removed Do Not Track in December last year [0] people also freaked out, which came as a considerable surprise to me; I thought most tech-savvy users were well aware of the flaws with DNT, and were well aware of DNT's newfangled replacement (GPC) that Firefox had already adopted [1].

I will never understand why people attack Firefox so eagerly at every given opportunity.

Fantastic idea.

It seems like there are a lot of interesting experiments to be had here. The lab-play scenarios having a time-related component seems like a good idea, I assume most Factorio players that keep biters on treat them as a combined temporal-spatial constraint, so you have a sort-of proxy comparison to a real game situation when you put the agents on a timer.

I like the way that the framework design is testing different things than micromanagement proficiency, such as what we have seen in DOTA 2 or StarCraft 2 experiments. Notably, severe worker micromanagement (in the case of the latter game) becomes a way to squeak out extra minerals when you have infinite APM available. This is an interesting learned behavior in a narrow context, but that tactic is really control intensive and has a high chance for even pro players to screw it up when attempting to do so. It also doesn't seemingly give additional insight into an agent's longer-term planning, execution, and analytical performance. FLE seems way more interesting as a higher-level "thinking" evaluation framework, with all that in mind.

Any plans for layout optimization benchmarks? As in, start with a given factory cell with X inputs and Y outputs, and optimize its performance.
I even wrote no matter how it looks?

I meant the goal of your function needs to be grasped within a reasonable amount of time. This works for every codebase.

> Dwarf planet Pluto and our Earth are the only two worlds in our solar system with very large moons. These may have come about by a "kiss and capture" process, which preserves a moon's large size.

> The Earth's moon is believed to have formed from a similar process, the researchers explained in a written statement, but it was more like a slap in the face rather than a kiss.

Yup, that's just bad writing. Decide on your metaphor and stick to it. Don't say something is X, and then halfway through the article say it's not X.
One thing I can do when I need an OS that I can mess around with is running a VM, with for example Linux. This allows me to do the things I want in an open OS, while still have the nice appliance-machine. In the VM I can mess around as much as I want, need. I can even checkpoint the VM, saving myself from over-messing.

Yes using a VM means taking a performance hit. But with the latest Apple machines, and for what I do in the VMs, I haven't experienced any lack of performance that annoys me.

One example for what I do is to run double Wireguard tunnels. In MacOS it has been nigh impossibly to get working (and esp not reliably). But works easily in a Linux VM. With this I can proxy through the VM to access remote resources from applications in MacOS.

I'm using UTM btw: https://mac.getutm.app/
I'm gonna guess a bit: Non-bullies are less attractive on average than bullies. It's not about their preference or aversion to other behavior. "Confidence" is a proxy for physical attractiveness. A confident unattractive person comes off as creepy.
> What other elements should I add?

Not really an element, but `popover` attributes for elements, maybe?

Recently I've been using fieldset+legend to great effect for titled input forms. In fact I've used it almost exclusively in my last contract.

Some other ones that too few people use: progress, cite, sub/sup, datalist (very useful), and search (also very useful as a busy indicator when used with no percentage).
Wait, I'm curious about why you think it's "grotesque"?

Do you think it's just not useful as a consumer product for enjoying nature, and that they're conning their potential customers?

Or are you thinking something more along the lines of "this application waste, these _should_ be used to assist the disabled and elderly"?

In the latter case, I think your reaction is misplaced. If a piece of technology is useful to a small segment of the population, it's beneficial to them if it also gets adopted as consumer technology. I claim this because the price of the devices should fall as more of them are manufactured (Wright's Law).
I've been looking for something like this to query / interface with the mountain of home appliance manuals I've hung onto as PDFs - use case being that instead of having to fish out and read a manual once something breaks, I can just chat with the corpus to quickly find what I need to fix something. Will give it a shot!
While I agree that busses incentivise over-production, my only argument in their favour stems from SWE design best-practices of maximising cohesion and minimising coupling. The benefits of a bus is that it makes it easier to create factory districts that can be scaled independently of everything else. I suppose the question is how independent/integrated should these districts be? Should they only create ore? Or create utility-science-packs?
That assumes that Better Excel would somehow not look like Excel and would lose its benefits of being easy. My assumption is that Better Excel will still look like Excel, in the same way that Better iOS will also look like iOS.
The U.S. did have a brief flirtation with what other countries call "failure to form a governing coalition" in 2023. It was a bit less embarrassing than elsewhere because (for somewhat related reasons) our legislature is historically weak right now, but it did happen.

I think we'll see more of this, now that the parties are so ideologically separate from each other. With such a narrow majority, any tiny intraparty fracture has the potential to break a coalition.
Some - not all - of the EF lenses have a distance encoder as well. It's fairly approximate; I think it exists mostly for the benefit of the flash system, which needs a rough starting point for the distance in some of the open-loop modes.

For the current Olympus ones, I think there's a broadly similar encoder on the ones with proper manual focus scales, and the pure fly-by-wire ones reset focus at connection so the camera can work it out.

There's a list of the EF lenses and which forms of distance information they provide here: https://web.archive.org/web/20130425064359/http://www.lenspl...
Right, I get what you said.

I am arguing that it is in fact a fraud perpetrated against the taxpayer, even if it's not legally categorized as "fraud" at this time.
But who talked about bad architecture? Good readable code doesn't rule out good architecture.
Surely some things are complicated but even then, a dev should be able to quickly see whats going on with minimal expertise in a codebase.
This problem is what made me ditch inkjets entirely in favor of laser printers. You don't have to remember to do occasional "maintenance prints" with laser printers.
> My understanding is that while Britain wasn't the direct cause of the famine itself (that is, they didn't specifically introduce a pathogen that would fuck up their major crop)

There's a historical grey area here. India had experienced the conditions of their famine before, as you might expect, things happen more than once and so they had a social structure agreement between villages where ones who's crops were stricken and lost would have their food stocks supplemented with those of neighboring villages, and every village grew more than they needed to facilitate this. This worked excellently for probably thousands of years, until the Brits arrived and insisted taxes be collected, and they took crop yields in lieu of money the Indians didn't have.

Either they were unaware because they assumed the brown people had no idea what they were doing, or they were aware and didn't give a shit because the people were brown, or some combo of the two, who's to say. But they did the very same to the Irish. Landlords were entitled to the yields of their land, and they took whatever it produced, which exasperated the already dire situation.
Interesting. If you think about it, that's how the stock market works. It's not how much you think a stock is worth; it's really how much you think everyone else thinks the stock is worth.
How much money have you given to FOSS? (Let me guess: 0). But it's good that you are giving them your moral support here online. That's surely worth something.

If your teenager behaves like FOSS developers, then he probably won't get any repeat customers: "Hey man, I might mow your lawn or I might not. Pay me 20 dollars right now and you'll find out, maybe."

I will continue to avoid FOSS. I congratulate the developers and maintainers for all the free labour they provide to make sure the likes of Amazon, Google and Microsoft stay profitable. Their shareholders are surely grateful.

For me, I will continue to purchase high quality software from independent developers.
> OP's premise is that "Firefox is gone" and "Chrome is the only option". That suggests Chrome is better than current Firefox.

To be fair, OP asked if "Chrome-ish" is the only option, i.e. Chromium-based browsers - not Chrome itself.

Even so, I don't think the implication is that Chromium is better than Firefox, but that without Firefox only Chromium-based browsers remain. "If I don't want to use Firefox, is it really only Chrome-clones available?"
Key reasons for the choice of hexagons in h3
- hexagons have have low distortion as compared to squares when you attempt tessellation of a spherical shape. You just require 12 pentagons to complete this tessellation.
- all six neighboring cells are equidistant from the center of a cell.

One of the use case Uber was trying to solve here, was to show which regions had surge pricing - on the uber app for the drivers. With h3 and hexagons you can argue it looks a teensy bit better with smoother gradients https://h3geo.org/docs/comparisons/s2.

I am not sure whether Uber uses h3 for other use cases like - finding the closest drivers next to a location.

See this presentation from Uber on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ay2uwtRO3QE
