That was not on my top-5 list of things that may be in that article.
For example this dell is superb, has tandem oled with 200% scaling and runs linux (dhh runs this on onarchy)

This is very much in line with the likes of pokemon go, wiki landmark projects and what have you (those are nice things to have for autonomous drones/missiles to navigate only with vision when gps/cellular/starlink is actively blocked).

Russia banned stuff like speedtest because things like that may help “map” the network, aid NSA to model malware propagation, etc.
Not that this should matter when you have cisco, dell, nokia hardware, but it won’t hurt either.

I mean come on, some nuts even willingly install stuff like this: https://atlas.ripe.net/
And given the selfie camera position, I really doubt there is an accessibility setting to mirror the UI.
It will not get down with half of the internet the next time cloudflare has issues.

The United States proposed a deal to France, Germany, Japan, and Britain (the G5): you buy up your own currencies, the dollar falls, and in return we reduce our budget deficit, meaning you no longer have to effectively finance U.S. development.
The United States agreed to reduce its budget deficit and lower interest rates. The other parties to the agreement committed to raising theirs. In addition, West Germany agreed to cut taxes, while Japan agreed to allow the yen to appreciate. As a result, over the following two years the U.S. dollar fell by 46% against the German mark and by 50% against the yen. However, the U.S. government ultimately failed to reduce its budget deficit. Meanwhile, the sharp appreciation of the yen made Japanese exporters less competitive in foreign markets. In the United States, by contrast, the period following the agreement saw substantial economic growth and low inflation.
A classic American move: promise the world — we’re all in this together, we’re marching toward a brighter future — and then screw everyone over.
Same water tray and a hose for water condensate.
Due point for that air is 19.8C. Meaning it reaches 100% relative humidity at this point. If cooled even more, water condensates from air into droplets.
—
What this means: if you cool that air to 22 degrees (instead of 19.8) it will reach 87% humidity without loosing any water to the outside.
—
That’s why we need humidifiers in winter as the opposite thing happens: if we heat cold air that has 80% relative humidity to room temperature it will drop its humidity to 20%
Dehumidifier mode in AC works by cooling the air below the dew point, removing the condensation, then warming the air up (either by itself or literally heating it up)
Like they literally put on the sweatshot/hoodie in the early mornings with effing 27 degrees Celsius
That’s not a normal temperature for Europeans.
Also I could not imagine doing some serious thought work in temps like this.
There are a lot of studies of how mental performance is correlated with temperatures with men needing couple degrees even lower than women (eg 22 vs 24)

Airflow helps a lot, of course. But it must be in swinging motions / constantly changing direction — nervous system doesn’t like same constant stimulus to the point of neuralgia if prolonged.
Low p-value basically means how surprising your data would be if there were actually no effect (ie less than 5% of the time you’ll get this due to randomness if there is no change — which is rather impossible)
Sample size matters heavily. With more observations, estimates become more precise, so increasingly small differences can become statistically significant. With a large sample, you can therefore get a tiny, practically meaningless effect with a very small p-value.
Eg effect of $1 can be statistically significant (not random) which does not matter in practical terms if average is like $10000.
So the key point here is not only to look at the p-value but also at an actual change. If a drug gives you only 0.01% more hair, it doesn’t matter to you that it is guaranteed.
The qualities that are needed to grind the algorithms, system design, and what have you have a nice correlation with success later
Perseverance, diligence, sheer will to grok the somewhat boring shit.
Even writing some code in the notepad/whiteboard means you have enough mental RAM/stack/context window to keep the bits in the head.
—
So it ain’t no “magic potion”. Ideally we had a less strenuous thing ( Bloodborne/Dark Souls platinum trophy for the diligence part? :-) ) but you can’t always have what you want.
For example rightAlt + c will give you ©, rightAlt+- will give you em-dash —
Both for mac and windows:
Instead of using the same branch, make new branches from that parent and commit there.
The cool thing about that approach is that (at least in git-tower app) is when you edit a parent branch after pr comments, all those new commits will be automatically “restacked” on descended branch (children branches will be rebased on new state or parent, incorporating the hew fixes)
For example, I clicked on the random link in that paper (referenced as a proof of river oxygen decline) — the article was not even based on some actual data log but fucking deep learning model (which may or may not work)
5-20 satellites daily?
At first glance, it seems negligible.
On the hand, given the intentional nature if disposable low-orbit, 20 more than ideal.
Just check battery stats, it will show what drains the most.
But after one point in time I gave up and just set up airplane mode automation every 6 hours
Turning that off, or using automatic airplane mode (eg in shortcuts set a schedule to turn on airplane mode daily)
Factory stampted cds are better in this regard
