"The work desk no longer has any books on it. In their place is a screen and a telephone. All the books and all the information are kept remotely in a huge building that has the space required to store them.

The place that stores the information will also distribute the information, using a wire, or maybe without a wire."

-- Paul Otlet, 1934

Interesting, but I feel if there is a card on the board that doesn't contribute to any player's result, it's too hard to guess in just five tries. You have 2,3,4...A, which is too many options, even if you manage to get the suit correct.

I don't really know how to change the rules to compensate for this, but it feels like these 'unrelated' cards ruin the game in a way.

Maybe you can find a legal loophole. Something in British law granting freedom of choice of profession and livelihood, and the sue your way into peasanthood and land ownership.

(Half joking)

> I believe it also popularized the concept of "there should be one obvious way of doing things"

It's one of the principles from the Zen of Python: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python#Principles

I agree with your comment, all of these taken together were a medium-sized revolution at the time. It's not for nothing that Python is the most popular language for teaching programming nowadays.

And a 'Pariser' is a condom in German.

Short tap for CW, hold for CCW

From the intro section of TFA:

> Lastly, it goes without saying that a wearable alone cannot replace a smartphone. That is why I will also use a couple of additional devices - the AirPods Pro and an iPad Pro.

So the headline is really pure clickbait?

I really like it, and it's funny because I had just started using a very similar system a few weeks ago. I was using Trello with eight lists (Mon thru Sun and a 'backlog') as a sort of proof of concept.

One 'feature' I was using myself was a 'rolling week': The leftmost column is always today [1]. At the end of the day, I'd make a point of clearing out all items that were not checked off: They either move to one of the upcoming days or back into the backlog. At first I thought I would want some automatic behavior, like always moving unchecked items to the next day, but it's actually become a useful end-of-day ritual for me to see what I did not do, whether it is still important and if and when I want to do it. Then, when everything out of 'today' is either checked off or moved elsewhere, the day moves to the end of the rolling week, so that on each day of the week I always have a visible window of seven days.

Another feature I started using regularly was the 'copy' functionality that Trello has built in: it's just practical to be able to quickly duplicate items and in the process define into which day they should go.

[1] Actually the second col from the left, because I had the backlog as the leftmost one

Edit: I should clarify that I wasn't using this as a _calendar_ but rather as a Todo app/list. I'm still using macOS' regular calendar app for everything that is more than 7 days out.

Gilbert Strang's lectures on Linear Algebra: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010...

LinAlg was the only maths course I needed in my interdisciplinary study program. I had struggled to grasp maths in high school, but these lectures really made it click for me and I passed my university's class with a B+.

Yes, I have a non-US number in my account, so that could be a reason, too.

I'm not seeing the 'login with an OTP' option that TFA complains about, also not in a private tab. I was using the fake elonmusk address from the article and also tried over a VPN pretending to come from the US (I'm actually located in the EU).

Also, I don't like the condescending tone of the article, implying that everyone at Paypal is a moron who has no idea what they're doing.

> The Best would be everyone just stick a few weeks to the measures and diminish the countless spots to a few controllable one's.

Isn’t that what China has been attempting for months, rather unsuccessfully?

From a product management perspective, one nasty aspect of bugs is that it's impossible to estimate how long it's going to take to fix them. (Because when you've looked deeply enough to know that, the actual fix is often not much additional work).

So, an interesting proposition could be to hire you and pay you a fixed rate per bug fixed, instead of an hourly rate. My core team can continue working on features, and I hand you a backlog of 10 or 20 bugs that I then get fixed at a known cost.

You would then take on the risk of how long you have to work to earn that fixed rate, but on the long term it would probably even out for you as well.

Although I managed to run the application, it didn't catch any torrents. The announcements and traffic stats in the console showed 0 all the time. To be fair I ran it for 30 minutes max.

Do I need to add trackers in some config file or so?

Not sure this is still true... what do you mean by "access to the full sub"? On https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/ I cannot see any restriction. And the rules in the sidebar state 'BPT is an inclusive space for POC and allies alike.'

I managed to build and run it, filed an issue for a problem I ran into. Hope it's valid, thanks for making this app!

If I may suggest, it would be helpful to have a section in the README about how to build/run the application. If I'm not familiar with Electron, the repository isn't very helpful, even though I might be interested in trying it out.

I'm sorry if I misinterpreted the thrust of your argument. The way you pointed out this was a Korean-run factory and that it was 'extremely unusual' to be carried out by American companies sounded to me like relativizing what was (or is) going on here.

> There are hundreds of foreign owned and operated factories in America that are run like independent kingdoms, staffed with people from other countries with their own restaurants and dorms so the workers are never exposed to the outside world,

That doesn't make it ok, does it? What you're describing sounds a lot like the conditions that migrant workers in Qatar and Saudi Arabia are working in.

The US shouldn't tolerate such conditions for workers in factories on its soil, no matter who operates them and where the workers are from.

In fact, no country caring about human rights should. I'm from Germany and in the early Covid phase in 2020 it became clear that there are a lot of east European workers in our slaughterhouses, with them living in very tightly packed quarters (for which they had to pay exaggerated prices to their employers) leading to a massive spread of the disease. At the time, many politicians cried that something will have to change, but of course nothing happened and the whole thing was forgotten as quickly as it had come to light.

I can reproduce that. Interesting, because the .com site redirects to the .org, and saearching for the org site on Google does not cause the error.

Thanks for the explainer, I wasn't familiar with the format.

For the team competition: Wouldn't it make sense to have your country's race on a very easy course, like in a stadium, rather than through some backwoods with hills? Just to give you an edge compared to the other countries' teams.

I have https://longreads.com/ as a pinned tab.

Or they just don't understand the difference between a DDoS on a website and an actual, effective cyberattack on an airport.

Never assume malice etc

Because they don't know how to handle the pro gear.

How much post-processing do third-party camera apps like Halide actually do? Would that be an option?

I'd prefer that to a separate device, which I won't have with me most of the time.

I'm getting a Cloudflare error page on that link: 'The owner of this website does not allow hotlinking to that resource'

Probably the Apple-internal version of Rickrolling.

I agree that it's empathy for the user, but I'd say it's a workaround, and as such it's tech debt.
