I imagine all of collective known knowledge as a sphere Which is finite which is depicted by boundaries or surface of the sphere And the sphere is growing . Uneven growth in all directions 4pi steridian.

Why a sphere and not just a circle or conversely a hyper-sphere in many dimensions? The idea of sphere and growth with 4pi steradian suggests you imply something on the fundamental number of dimensions of knowledge (that may or may not exists).

Regarding the growth of this "sphere": if you consider that a human brain is finite and can hold only a finite quantity of information, then there must be a point where any new concept is too large to fit. Hence, the growth stops somewhere, unless we find a way to go beyond this natural limit (but then, are we still speaking of human beings?).

Indeed. When publishing in a scientific journal, you usually (have to) give them an exclusive licence on your article.

Be aware that genetic algorithms are a type of evolutionary algorithms: Do you actually want to learn about genetic algorithms specifically, or more generally about evolutionary algorithms ?

Some Linux distributions (Debian for instance, so probably most Debian-based ones too) have sets of legacy drivers for older nvidia cards.

At the same time, EU mandates that new cars must have a system able to call help if it detects a crash with the driver not responding... And I suspect most manufacturers will argue that telemetry data are not PIIs until taken to court, so since they have to put a cellular connection anyway, why not use it?

Good luck having people forward an email a) with headers and b) in a way that doesn't break the signature...

They are common in France, but not in such packages: There are restrictions that prevent you from buying more than than 8g/day (theoretically at least, I don't believe they are strictly applied in practice).

Probably. When available, reader mode can also be activated by clicking the little "page with text" icon on the right of the address bar.

From your PoV maybe. I would be restless knowing that I may be silently losing important emails because they triggered some blackbox filter in such a way that they didn't even end up in my spam box...

The point is that fetchmail doesn't need an admin once it is configured.

Ë with diaeresis is the easiest case to deal with. The diaeresis (the two dots) signifies that the underlying “e” is pronounced as /ɛ/ (as “e” in “bet”, i.e. the open e), no matter what comes around it, and is used in groups of vowels that would otherwise be pronounced differently.

Yes, but there are other uses. For instance, in "ambiguë", the ë itself is silent but signals that the u before it is pronounced as a standard u. Without the diaeresis, the u itself would be silent but would make the g hard (in French, g before e is soft).

I believe it is the same project that was discussed here a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47385935

God, I feel like I am going to be on a list after clicking that link.

It's a poor life that doesn't put you on a few such lists!

It does indeed, yet if the review makes it clear that the text of a book is not at fault, that the crappy print on demand edition is the issue, it should not matter too much. It would even give them arguments to ask a few pointed questions to their publishers.

And aggregated over all the books that use print on demand, the editors will notice.

The current solution? Just return the item.

Yes, and write a low stars review explaining the problem. Returns alone don't hurt future sales of identical items.

Good point! It shows that the settlements are far too low and that the victims should get a lot more.

If a few cities/states were to default due to debts coming from such cases, the others would start to take notice...

IIRC, it is nerfed out. It is more open core than actual open source, and the paywalled features of the online version are missing.

Yeah, that's why M-discs were created. Which only displaces the question to "will there still be drives to read them?"...

Some (old?) spam filters may be triggered by html only emails.

The humans are neither a race nor conscious. They're humans.

Sounds literary, if a bit grandiloquent, more than anything. It was once considered "good style" and books from the XIXth and XXth centuries are full of such sentences. See the works of James Jeans, John McPhee, Carl Sagan, and the like for instance.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but you may still want to take a look at Moore's /Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy/. IIRC, it contains a section on the evolution of machining since the early 1800s and covers the transition between the making of parts made to fit together, to parts made to specs.

BTW, in later parts of the book, Michelson appears as interferometry is used to check the accuracy of parts.

Probably not the cheapest nor the easiest way, but take a look at Cynthion: https://greatscottgadgets.com/cynthion/

On the hardware side, it probably has what you need (and more).

And now... 59 sold, more than 10 available!

None taken! :)

AFS (on which DFS was based) lives on as OpenAFS [0]. And there is a commercial evolution/solution from AuriStor [1].

Lots still available on eBay

Probably not for long: only 7 available now...

Left academia, still using LaTeX for about every document (not counting org-mode documents for my own use).

At this point, using "common" text processors (Word, Writer, ...) still (?) feels like torture.

Scientific text editors, you mean? ;)

I suspect it is actually worse than that and that they are actually subject to the Lindy effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect ).
