I had a similar failure rate then changed my charger and haven’t had a battery fail since. My original charger was Energiser branded, which is the most common battery where I live so I thought it had to be fine. I replaced it with an eneloop BQ-CC55. I don’t love it - it’s a fast charger and it makes batteries uncomfortably hot, but it was able to charge batteries to full health that both my energiser and trickle charger thought were dead dead. That includes energiser batteries!

Low self discharge is the standard now, Eneloop is no longer unique.

This sounds a little like the AT protocol (or my weak understanding of it). AFAICT on a protocol level your identity and personal data is decoupled from a content aggregator.

Australia’s system is IRV (for the federal government / lower house). Schulze is significantly better.

IRV has the tendency to eliminate moderate candidates in the first round (only first preferences count in the first round) which is often where Condorcet candidates lie.

IRV doesn’t enforce two parties like FPTP but it still promotes polarisation.

Debian votes using the Schulze Method, which is a Condorcet method..

Condorcet methods attempt to answer the question “who would win if we asked everyone to vote on every pair of candidates”. Most of the variations between methods deal vary only where there are cyclic preferences e.g. people vote B over A, A over C and C over B.

They’re broadly considered the fairest voting systems available and they permit a candidate that everyone thinks is okay to win over polarising candidates (unlike first past the post and IRV, but like approval voting).

Back to the numbers, the big table is the reconstruction of the pairwise votes (people actually vote by ranking candidates but the ordering is taken to show your pairwise preferences)

Below that is the Schulze process steps being carried out. At the bottom the “Schwartz set” is the set of top, cyclic candidates. There is no cycle so there is only one candidate remaining and therefore a Condorcet candidate wins (the one people in general vote over everyone else).

The important bit is further down

Our Phillips tips follow the ISO 8764-1 standard, which is compatible with the JIS standard B 4633. In fact, of the three main standards, ASME, ISO, and JIS, the least strict standard is JIS. As shown below, the JIS dimensions almost all fall within the ASME or ISO acceptable dimensions. Therefore, any Phillips screwdriver, such as our new Tekton Phillips screwdrivers, can be made to meet JIS standards. In fact, you should expect that all well-made drivers that meet the ASME or ISO standards will also meet the JIS standard.

But yes, this doesn’t make clear if this has changed over time.

And yes, I used a Phillips screwdriver in JIS and vice versa multiple times.

That’s totally fine actually

If it helps there’s a standalone version of the logic.

At a rough scan, it looks like it tries to find a best guess “main content” node by stripping unlikely nodes and then scoring each node. Element type and content contribute to the score

/**
       * Loop through all paragraphs, and assign a score to them based on how content-y they look.
       * Then add their score to their parent node.
       *
       * A score is determined by things like number of commas, class names, etc. Maybe eventually link density.
       **/

That’s disappointing to hear. Which core did you get?

It’s smaller than you’re looking for but I’d be remiss not to bring up the MNT Pocket Reform

XMPP is the standard messaging protocol. I recommend Conversations for android, but of course any worthwhile protocol has multiple independent frontends.

VLC can play anything because of its reliance on the amazing ffmpeg. MPV also uses ffmpeg, as does any video tool worth it’s salt.

The origin of the hobby 3D printer is the RepRap project, a community open hardware project. Josef Prusa was actively involved. The first printer the company actively sold - the Prusa i3 - is still on the RepRap website.

They got a bit more restrictive with their licencing terms in the recent past which is both understandable and a bit of a slap in the face to where they came from, but they’re still the most open 3D printer manufacturer.

(Not the most open 3d printer though, that award has to go to DIY only models like the Voron)

People with computer science degrees often work as software engineers but Computer Scientists are not Software Engineers. Computer Scientists are mathematicians. Theoretically you can do pretty good computer science without ever touching a computer - it’s the mathematics of computation, which is much broader than the machines we keep on our desks. Software Engineers are not typically mathematicians.

I say this as someone who is qualified as a software engineer. I would absolutely love to be involved in computer science, but I’m trained for engineering not mathematics.

This is the difference between Computer Science (a field of mathematics) and Software Engineering (a field of engineering).

I’ve never encountered this. Wikipedia only mentions sugar under “varieties: US”, so you should be good if you want to claim the international version.

Vim hasn’t been able to copy to the clipboard since I switched to Wayland. Now it can and hopefully will do so in general as I have unnamedplus enabled, making the system clipboard the default one.

full Wayland support (including clipboard support)

Woohoo! This limitation has significantly reduced the utility of vim for me in recent times, so it’s great to see

I literally cannot understand how Outlook is so awful and unpleasant to use. Constant pauses, regular freezes and a search that will show a document I sent to myself five years ago regardless of search terms but won’t surface the perfect match I received yesterday, in the world’s most prominent email client.

The only worse software I have to interact with on a daily basis is Adobe’s PDF reader, which gives me five popups within one minute of opening it and takes over a minute to do a text search in a five page document.

Ah, fair point. When someone says “org-mode” I think of the file format usually, but I guess that’s probably not what colournoun was saying.

But also, apparently Emacs is on android
