Wait. I still export NFS mounts from my TrueNAS server and make them available to all other machines on my LAN (music, books, documents, photos, etc). The article and comments here give me the feeling that NFS is outadated and shouldn't be used anymore. Am I doing things wrong?

Very skeptical that this would work for me. None of the topics that Kagi chooses to "cover" in their seven or so stories for the day resonates with what I'd want to read. That's exactly why we have feeds that you can tune to your tastes and so on. Getting rid of endless scrolling and such might be a good thing though.

There's also the pass-otp extension that generates OTPs!

The pass android app is really nice too

It also works in termux

I prefer a more "physical" explanation - you have two carriers: sin(wt) and cos(wt), and you're modulating bits I and Q onto the two carriers and adding them up before transmitting. Now, mathematically, that's the same as representing the two bits as I+jQ and multiplying it with cos(wt)+jsin(wt). Demodulation is simply multiplying that output with the complex conjugate cos(wt)-jsin(wt), which in physical terms translates to mixing with a local oscillator output and low pass filtering.

Just have a master settings.typ that you import in top1.typ, top2.typ and top3.typ?

Yes, but each included file (like education.typ, publications.typ, etc) should also get these settings propagated from top - which typst doesn't allow - the appropriate settings need to be included in each of these files.

you can pass global settings at build time with `typst c --input name=value`

This is something I did not know - will check.

Regarding point 2: you can put your settings in a file `settings.typ` and import it from multiple files.

Let's say I have 3 flavors of settings and 10 different typ files - normally I'd just have 3 flavors of top.typ (top1.typ, top2.typ, top3.typ) with the correct settings for each flavor with settings proagated to all 10 files. Compiling top1/top2/top3 would then create flavor1.pdf, flavor2.pdf, and flavor3.pdf

Now how do I do it with settings1.typ, settings2.typ and settings3.typ? I have to go into the 10 different files and include the appropriate settings file! Or employ hacks like creating a common settings.typ using bash in the Makefile and including the common settings.typ in the 10 different files.

Edit: This is an actual use case - I'm helping with a resume, and have 3 different resume styles - a resume, a cv, and a timeline - and different files like education, work experience, honors, awards, publications, projects, etc and the level of detail, style, and what is included or not in each is controlled by which resume style is active. In latex I did this using \newcommand and the ifthenelse package.

In typst, I have had to resort to passing these global settings as arguments to functions spread across these different files, so each resume item (function) instantiated from the top file has a bunch of parameters like detail_level = 1, audited_courses = true, prefix_year = false, event_byline = true, include_url = true, etc., which make the functions unweildy.

I have only two peeves with typst.

1. They should have carried forward the latex standard as-is for math, instead of getting rid of the backslash escape sequence, etc.

2. There is no way to share a variable across a file's scope - so can't have a setting that is shared across files - not even with state variables.

Other than this, typst is solid, and with the neovim editor and tinymist lsp, is great to write with.

Looks very good. Was looking to replace ltex (which is really slow), but for some reason the nvim-lspconfig filetype setting for harper doesn't seem to have (la)tex listed as a default, although markdown and typst are listed. Anyone knows why?

But doesn't seem like a bird strike issue here, right? And given the rarity of a dual engine failure, seems to point to not calling up full thrust? But seems to me that this kind of error would be more common without any technical safeguards?

Looking at the "mock" document (https://github.com/iamgio/quarkdown/tree/main/mock) which is supposed to be a comprehensive and detailed guide for all visual elements, I don't see ways of getting anything other than basic markdown tables. How do you get merged cells? Cell formatting? Typst has some nice ways of implementing sophisticated grids and tables.

Also how do you implement things like different page numbering for front matter content and the main content? In general, the "simplicity" of markdown seems to be taking away a lot of granular control that people use LaTeX and Typst for.

Do different kids get different meals in US schools? I mean for non-medical or dietary purposes? The article doesn't seem to be very clear on that... Is it that when the school's debt gets to a certain point, all kids' meals are replaced by "alternative meals"? Or do some kids' meals only get switched? If so what is the deciding criterion?

Apart from Excel, isn't google docs or libreoffice a viable alternative?

Yeah.. but if he didn't actually work exactly on it, but took the effort to learn from coworkers (or LLMs or google or wherever) and is able to answer my questions on what he did, and more importantly on why he decided to do something a certain way and not some other way, then he/she must have spent considerable amount of time actually learning about it and figuring things out. So I'd still hire him/her. The trouble is most people who embellish are either not competent to go deep enough to learn, or think that they can get away with some superficial knowledge of it.

From the article:

but it had been some time ago, and they never worked on any of the features

It appears that the candidate might have actually worked on the daycare app, but not on what they said they worked - i.e., the ratelimiting and pagination. It appears that they might have been working on the frontend, and took the liberty of "expanding" their role - this used to be extremely common in a big sample of the resumes, and I'm guessing it still is. They might have used AI to prep - they used to use google earlier, but the prep was (and is) still inadequate if you've not actually worked on and implemented it. I don't think it was an entirely LLM created project...

I don't think this has anything to do with using AI for prep. 20 years ago I was interviewing candidates who had somewhat lied on their resume, knew some of the things that they'd written about, but had everything fall apart under a little more questioning of what exactly they'd done and why.

Maybe they'll come up with a solution that requires you to turn on your camera while on youtube so that they can detect if you have your eyes and ears unblocked during ads. Blocked-eyes-blocked-ears detected = popup that pauses the video and asks you to unblock before continuing.

In India, these are called "cloud kitchens." A single cloud kitchen could be listed on a food delivery app under multiple brands - one brand for chinese cuisine, one for italian, etc.

But there could be other shapes that also satisfy these conditions and could also have the biggest possible shape, correct?

I'm not from the US, but from India, and it's the same here. "Left" and "Right" may be misnomers, but there are effectively two main blocks at the national level, and supporters of each block get slotted into one of the two. Of course there are disagreements between members within each of the two blocks, but ultimately all the fine distinctions boil down to which of these two a voter would choose!

I use X to mostly follow politics and some math/physics, and the political feed in the "For you" tab is remarkably balanced. I actually maintain two separate lists called "Left" and "Right" that I slot accounts into, and I just go to each list's feed to see what each side is saying about something. The "For you" tab has a mix, and overall has been pretty well balanced.

aren't we really saying voters are not individual agents but rather a mob subject to manipulation by propaganda?

Yes, it is. Always has been.

threats to "democracy" that simultaneously take such a cynical view of the democratic process

then the whole "democracy" thing is just a cover for elite power

You'd have to have fallen hook, line, and sinker with America's propaganda to actually believe that democracy is NOT a cover for retaining control over a population.

The US has been playing this game in other countries for a while now, to keep a check on who comes to power and who does not (always using support for democracy as an excuse). Gautemala, the arab spring, bangladesh - these are just some of the examples. And it's become very blatant of late.

This is groundbreaking work, and the language maps back to Sanskrit, and the script pre-Brahmi. A good technical presentation by the author is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG7QKoxILwk

Why stop at greek or arabic when you can go all the way to sanskrit?

The words for sine and cosine derive from the sanskrit jiva (meaning bowstring, i.e., the chord of a circle)[1]. Sine and cosine were respectively jya and koti-jya, which got transcribed into arabic without the vowel (where it meant nothing). They then pronounced the vowel in the wrong place, calling it jeb (which meant pocket or fold in arabic)[2]. Then this wrong word got translated into latin as sinus (fold), and hence we have sine and cosine!
