Re price, there's links to retailers from https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/products/environmental-senso...

Might need to wait a few generations. It costs ~30€ for a single unit (maybe half that at volume?). And not waterproof.

She did spend another year in France, but not until 1988/1989 with her husband, Sheldon Brown…

It's his wife! Harriet is Sheldon's wife!

Does `open` give focus? It used to, but since a few releases ago the app opens in the background, which is pretty annoying.

My poor workaround is to use osascript: `tell application "System Events" to set frontmost of process "Finder" to true`

The Yubico FAQ explains some of the history fairly well: https://www.yubico.com/blog/a-yubico-faq-about-passkeys/

In particular, they distinguish between "copyable" and "hardware-bound" passkeys. They're both passkeys, and can be used wherever passkeys are supported, but only the "hardware-bound" passkeys support attestation.

… Olive Christian, wife of the accused mayor, daughter of Len Brown and mother of Randy Christian, both of whom were also among those accused, called a meeting of thirteen of the island's women, representing three generations at her home, Big Fence…

At least one hull loss will be in the 2024 report (but amazing it didn't lead to (commercial) fatalities):

Looks like https://sites.research.google/weatherbench/ attempts to "benchmark" different forecast models/systems.

They're very cautious about naming a "best" model though!

Weather forecasting is a multi-faceted problem with a variety of use cases. No single metric fits all those use cases. Therefore,it is important to look at a number of different metrics and consider how the forecast will be applied.

It … kind of does, but if you filter the reviews by "TV" you'll see there's quite a few issues with it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tailscale..... Not sure why the back button issue hasn't been fixed, that makes it very inconvenient to set up. (Also: are you sure it can be used as an exit node? That wasn't supported a few months ago.)

A lot of these discoveries were also published in the same year (1905):

(General relativity was 1915.)

Gravity Probe B is my favourite example of scientists spending a lot of money and effort to verify something almost everyone believed to be true, because science.

I also prefer `direnv`. I am not entirely sure how `asdf` actually works; `direnv` is pretty straightforward: it hooks into the shell and modifies environment variables. (`PATH`, but also tool-specific variables if required.) So it's pretty easy to debug or replicate by hand if necessary.

It can't actually install different versions though (looks like `asdf` can?), which is somewhat inconvenient.

For a global company, Facebook has a surprising uneven distribution of data centers:

  - Continental US: 14 operating or under construction
  - Europe: 3 (all operating)
  - Everywhere else: 1 (Singapore, under construction)

Do you have a source for this?

The way the rules are now seems like there's a very big incentive to avoid earning a little bit more than $1m. This could have … unintended consequences.

(e.g. if it looks like you're going to earn a little bit over $1m, increase prices by a lot (to discourage purchases), but tell people the app will be "cheap" again in January. Or even make the app free for a while.)

There's no discontinuity in the first year you exceed $1m: that extra dollar is "taxed" at 30%, but the first $1m is at 15% ("the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year").

Looks like the next year (after exceeding $1m) the first dollar will be taxed at 30%, though.

They should just make this work like income tax: the first $1m is taxed at 15%, and everything above that is at 30%. (Same rules every year, no flip-flop.)

The more crucial difference is that the products were sold by third party sellers. I'm assuming counterfeit goods are almost never a problem if the seller is Amazon.

Many of the replies seem like they involved at least some human effort, although it would be nice to be sure--I wonder if there's some way to introduce some spammer-appropriate text captcha into the exchanges?

Given the comments here, you might want to call out more clearly that this is not the stable/final release of either the font or website to set expectations, etc.

Chrome is not going to get this:

Can you get a Tesla serviced anywhere other than a Tesla dealership? Does anyone do this? Seems like it's going to be difficult to consistently sell $100k of Tesla parts for even 10% of their value.

So has Linus learnt another editor, as threatened??

I'm not sure what your involvement here is …

Parent poster is Head of Engineering at the bank (not CTO?), and author of the slides.

Interesting, just received a 1.5.1 update. I wonder what happened to result in such a quick release. (Nothing in the release notes.)

The OS X binary isn't signed, and the download URL is HTTP. Is there a version available on a more secure distribution channel anywhere?
