I find it interesting that people talk in absolutes ("fusion will never be economical!") when the devices they're using were "impossible" only a few decades ago.

Also the difference between a 4:00:00 marathon and a 3:59:59 is less than a 0.007% improvement but it's a huge victory nonetheless. Once someone proves an arbitrary numerical barrier can be overcome humans tend to make a lot of progress shortly thereafter.

Seems like the Diataxis author came up with the framework while working at Divio: https://github.com/evildmp/diataxis-documentation-framework/...

I long for the days when the internet was filled with sites like these. Every hour spent tying up our only home phone line on my 14.4 was an hour well spent.

I recently discovered knapsackpro.com and I'm so glad to pay for it. CircleCI build times are essentially linear with parallelism now. Builds finish faster so we pay for fewer resources. 15 minute build is now 3m45s at the same cost.

If you have that many stripped wires to tin, you can use a tub of flux and a solder pot. Dip the wires into the flux, then quickly dip it into the solder pot. Perfectly tinned end with no plastic melting. Really hard to mess up vs a soldering iron, a wire, and solder wire.

You can even dip multiple wires into the flux and solder bath at the same time, as well as use the flux tub again before you solder the tinned wire to the contact.

I'm glad to see this as an outline, which is how I structure most of my project work. It can be hard for others to follow, but it's very concise and scannable (just read the first indentation level for the top-level idea).

To paraphrase Adam Savage from his excellent book, Every Tool's a Hammer, lists [of lists] are very powerful way to tame the inherit complexity of any project worth doing.

As joshstrange mentions above, iCloud password prompts don't support password managers, which is the main reason why I have a memorable one.

Password managers are more useful to me than a spreadsheet in iCloud. I don't see why having a memorable iCloud password implies I should get rid of a password manager.

Do you have a spreadsheet of passwords in a cloud account somewhere?

This recently happened to me after my laptop and phone were stolen on vacation. Everything is in 1Password. I of course didn't have the recovery paper with me. I recently changed my iCloud password to be more secure, and luckily I remembered it. But I needed 2FA to log in still.

I had to go to an AT&T store, port my phone number to a different iPhone, restore from an iCloud backup using the SMS 2FA, and then I could finally log into 1Password for my passwords and MFA.

If I didn't have a memorable iCloud password this would have been impossible without the 1Password recovery paper.

Devices are often lost/stolen on vacation where the myriad layers of protection are extremely hard — if not impossible — to penetrate.

Any recommendations for doing generative art with shaders on the web?

I've been doing some 2D stuff in Processing, but it's very slow, as the CPU doesn't have the same parallelism as the GPU.

I read it as, "that's too big a discount to ask [qualified CEO candidates] and their families to commit to."

In other words: good luck finding a qualified person to run Mozilla.

My iPhone 13 has an amazing front facing 1080p camera, FaceID scanner thing, speaker, and other stuff crammed into a small notch, but the notch on this is even larger and only has a camera? What gives? Why is the notch so wide?

(I'm still getting one to replace my 2012 MacBook Pro)

Ahh you're correct, I'm 90 miles from Lyme, not 20.

I caught Lyme earlier this year. Recently moved to upstate NY (20 miles from Lyme, CT) and tick checks are a daily thing. Found an adult embedded in my side. Developed a 103ºF fever and fatigue. Dr. took blood for the Lyme test but didn't wait for a positive and prescribed 2 weeks of Doxycycline.

A few days later I found a bullseye rash on my leg (not near the bite area) which pretty much confirmed it.

I felt 100% around 5-7 days after developing fever symptoms.

I've taught myself to use the Ian Knot instead of the Granny Knot and my life is improved for it. Every time I tie my shoes I think of how much better the Ian Knot is.

Larger organizations can have a more defined job architecture than just Principal.

At my company Senior Principal is like a Senior Director, and the IC track continues past that. Here's the list for IC / Management tracks:

Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer / Engineering Manager

Staff Engineer / Senior Manager

Principal Engineer / Director

Senior Principal Engineer / Senior Director

Engineering Fellow / Vice President

"Growth" in this context means impact to and relevance within the organization. It's mostly a leadership thing.

Essentially, you don't need to micromanage the work that Staff+ Engineers do, but it's critical to stream information to them throughout the week and sync with them once a week to align and calibrate.

If you do this consistently week over week, that engineer will flourish within the organization. If not, they'll continue to work within their domain until they see no more growth opportunities and then they'll leave.

Source: I've been a Principal Engineer for about four years and didn't really grow under some managers who left me alone. Once I found a manager that consistently invested in me I really thrived, and now I'm a Senior Principal Engineer and feel more comfortable in my current role than earlier.

> A hollow torus can be cut twice — once around the tube and then along the resulting cylinder — so by this definition, it has two holes.

Fascinating! This idea of an inner hole that is hidden and connected is quite unintuitive to me. I majored in mathematics in college but I wouldn't have reached this conclusion through intuition.

IANARedditor, but this reads to me as a feature of reddit.com for redditors to use. What does that have to do with the rest of the internet?

Is reddit itself not one of the amusement parks / walled gardens that this very page is decrying?

> Most importantly, Google Pay will never sell your data to third parties or share your transaction history with the rest of Google for targeting ads.

I seriously doubt this, but I find it interesting that they address the elephant in the room in the launch announcement.

I wonder how many other Google launches will note this as a perk before the hammer comes down from up high?

I am surprised to see POST requests to https://example.com/ in uMatrix and the Network Inspector.

Can anyone share why this is happening?

Ahh yes, with "soberly" being the operative word here. Is there a political variant of Buyer's Remorse?

Yes, I have taken many, many psychedelics, in high doses up to ++++ on the Shulgin scale.

Delirium was the wrong word, delusion was what I should have said.

cf: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Delusion#Delusion_of_enlight...

From personal experience and readings a very interesting aspect of a powerful psychedelic experience is the strong urge that everyone you know should try it. "What if all the senators did LSD/MDMA together!"

Many popular religions spend a great deal of time/energy getting others to join.

I wonder if that desire to proselytize is endemic to all powerful religious/spiritual experiences, or if it's just excited delirium in the case of psychedelics.

I understand your sentiment WRT political tools, but to bring it back to the medical therapy discussion: I cheer surgery/chemotherapy while also not wanting my enemies to use surgery/chemotherapy against my will (which amounts to torture)
