I don't own it anymore so I cannot really say if it's still relevant today, but maybe Spinellis' Code Reading (and its follow up Code Quality) ?

I understand Russia (Rosatom) charges a 6 digit toll on this route, but I have not seen hard numbers.

The problem is a Faraday box only attenuates signals. And it usually does not attenuate all frequencies identically.

So your test may seem successful, but the box not be enough closer to a tower, or if your neighbor added a new AP, or if cell phone frequencies changed since you bought and tested it. Moreover, if you have to open and close it often, you have to be careful that the attenuation doesn't degrade.

All that to say that the "Faraday box solution" would mean testing it regularly with professional instruments and all that. It is far simpler and cheaper to ask guests to leave their phones in their cars.

> How about a Faraday box, by the door?

Not as easy as one may think. If you put a phone in a generic waterproof metal box (metal junction or biscuit box for instance) and call it with another one, most of the time it will still ring...

Indeed. That's one of the reasons why the "Before Present" time scale (that uses 1/1/1950 as the epoch) is sometimes called "Before Physics" (another one being that 1950 is less and less "present", of course)!

> Jevons paradox happens when the cost of a resource goes down, but the total spend on that resource goes up.

I would argue that is not Jevons paradox but standard supply and demand (and this "reverse Jevons paradox" too). Jevons paradox occurs when a more efficient use of a resource leads to an increase in its use (instead of a decrease as a first order analysis would suggest).

Just received mine. Sure, the interface is far, far slicker than what is available on the Librem 5, but there are already hints of "you are not really the owner of the device" (for instance default "safety" contacts in the contact app that you cannot delete, the inability to easily use "reverse tethering" (getting Internet by USB through a computer) and so on) that will make me keep the Librem 5, with all its own issues, as my daily driver for the foreseeable future.

(And the Jolla's "hardware privacy switch" feels like a bad joke: yes, the switch is hardware. What it does (if anything) is fully handled in software.)

> This is actually the biggest reason I own a Remarkable 2/Kindle Scribe, let's me "destroy" the book while also not having to worry about losing my notes.

Well... I'm mostly back to paper after losing most of the notes I had taken on my own Remarkable 2.

> 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.
