> Then you must have been asleep during economics class when they covered the great depression.

Personal attacks are no substitute for content and explanation; I'm trying to help you by giving a chance to better expound your original point.

For your own understanding, I would recommend reading the Monetarist explanation of the Great Depression: https://fee.org/articles/money-in-the-1920s-and-1930s/. There is also the Austrian Economics approach which is built around the fact that inflation was promoted to keep commodity values constant -- in reality, I think both Monetarist and Austrian economic factors played a role.

Most likely, I would guess the issue is that you don't understand the definition of volatility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_(finance)#Mathemati...

Please review these materials and explain how price volatility is related to the sign of inflation, or whether you meant something else. My assumption is that it is not, and I have seen no evidence to suggest otherwise. You can look at the most volatile years of US exchange rates and they were during the Jimmy Carter "stagflationary" era. You may be conflating volatility of a currency with volatility of other measures in an economy.

> get turned over to Tech Support in India

How do you know they are in India? Accent? Asking because India offshore support peeps used by Dell, Walmart etc are all give white christian names - like Mary, John, Adam etc - and also undergo 3 months of rigorous 'American Accent' training. I know because 2 of my Indian cousins ( I am American-Indian born and raised here) work at such call centers in Mumboi and Chenna respectively.

So it's quite difficult to discern that they are Indian cos the Companies that hire them spend millions of $ trying to disguise their voice and tone to make them sound like they are local / American.

I could definitely see why you read it that way! I just meant that Slack has some drawbacks, like any tool. Specifically at work, when large groups are collaborating on important projects, I've been relying on wikis, email, and issue trackers more.

If the same issues creep into the class, we'll reconsider Slack. What probably won't change is the popularity of online collaboration tools for all workers. Fostering a community of similar learners to ask questions, share work, and help each other is one of our goals for the semester.

> Now let's get practical: find me such a library.

Certainly. I'm most familiar with Python, and for that, both Paramiko and asyncssh support returning the exit status of a command, distinct from any network failure.

As I mentioned in the above reply, even with command-line ssh (and any other library, really), if you're creative about how you structure the output on stderr, you can encode the exit status there to be able to differentiate it from ssh returning other errors. E.g., if you pipe the entirety of stderr through, say, base64 and then append at the end a newline and the exit status, you can parse out the exit status on the receiving end. (This is admittedly quite a hack: using a library in Python with direct access to the data is much nicer. The ssh binary is mostly a porcelain interface to the SSH protocol; libraries are a better tool for building on top of.)

> with tracking state of each and every machine I would possibly want to reconfigure, and remembering to check if the machine was booted to re-issue a reconfiguration command.

Perhaps this is just a difference in our production environments. We strive very hard to have all our machines online at all times. (Excepting short outages for rebooting for patches, etc., of course.) We use VMs, so there's not much point to having it be shut down.

> Sorry, I'm lost here: what re-running?

My larger point was about non idempotent commands. If your infrastructure retries commands, are you just very careful to not have non-idempotent stuff? Generally, these things are either "run at most once" or "run at least once"; running exactly once is (in general) impossible, as the command might finish successfully, but the host machine crash prior to recording that success. Again, if you can structure the command to be idempotent, you can work around this, but in my experience there always seems to be some patch or database upgrade that this can't be accomplished for.
Actually there are various ways to get proper matches without the exact filenaming convention they recommend. There's a feature where you can "Fix Incorrect Match" described here:

https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201018497-Fix-Inco...

This lets you pick the movie/show/whatever manually from a few different sources. If your media isn't immediately recognized, you can do this to correct it.

Additionally, they have a "Personal Media" metadata agent you can select for media that's your own personal media (like home videos) which will allow plex to read the metadata directly from the file instead of searching for a match. There's more info on that here:

https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200265246

I have never had the issue you described where something doesn't show up at all, just that it's incorrectly matched (in which case the tile will just show a screenshot and the title will just be the filename)

Additionally, I've found that if you use their recommended folder structure, the filenames matter much less. For example, if you have this directory:

/Media/TV Shows/Show Name/Season 1/

It seems like as long as the file contains the season/episode like "S01E01" it will match correctly based on the directory information. I haven't messed with it much but I have never had to rename a file to get plex to recognize it when I use directories like this

Personally I think that within X years (could be only 10, or 5, or probably less) we will see human-level AGI. This is because the grounded (based on granular sense/motor) deep learning systems such as Deep Mind are being applied in varied virtual environments and some with gradual development of skills and knowledge. This type of approach will enable truly general agents.

So we better hope that the BCIs develop quickly as well.
Contemporary versions of GnuPG (>= 2.1 IIRC) always use gpg-agent, and this option does nothing except producing a warning:

Absolutely. One of the key pillars in the program is student-to-student interaction, either via the Piazza course communication system, or direct contact.

I have extensive knowledge of VMs, so I helped many students get their environments set up. I could often diagnose show-stopping problems for the less-experienced students very quickly, since at my experience level I really have "seen it all". And if it wasn't something I could diagnose that way, I'd set up a Google Hangouts call and watch exactly what was happening on their screen and get them through it.

Many other students did the same thing. In Computability, Complexity, and Algorithms, there were some students who were apparently math robots from the future, solving the problem sets effortlessly, and posting them to Piazza so that the rest of us could use their work for study purposes.
There's debate on the terminology, so I'll credit your first point. But there are atheists who also study theology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hector_Avalos is one such example.

Hmm, define 'young'. I'm in my late 20s and I find it easier to learn new things more than ever - including things I failed to learn in my teens and early 20s. Maybe I'm just a late bloomer, and it took me a while to "learn how to learn". But maybe I'm still young in the eyes of someone who has been using vi for 30 years (:

That's not how lossless compression of JPEGs work.

Besides removing information from the file that doesn't affect the rendered image (like EXIF data), lossless recompressors typically replace the huffman coding of DCT coefficients with a more efficient arithmetic coder. So you don't start over from raw pixels, but you replace the type of compression used with a more modern and efficient algorithm. That means ordinary software can't read the JPEG (since you've essentially created a new format) but you can just decompress into standard JPEG whenever someone wants to look at the image.
Here's the documentation: http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/aes/0.5.0

Reading through, it's NOT clear that `key` must be hexidecimal, but you can see why the gem's author didn't think to call it out:

The gem also provides a helper method for generating keys: AES.key (which outputs a random hexidecimal string). The developer probably never expected users to submit their own keys, despite the design of the gem making it easy to do.

Believe it or not, the software quality in these things is often quite cruel, and even a mediocre javascript framework might perform awesome against it. I've seen enough things things like handcoded UI frameworks in C++ (in order to be fast), and then doing things like blocking network calls on the main thread from there.

Some newer systems are based on QT or Android. These typically have better performance, because the underlying frameworks have at least a decent design.

Just reverse them (so the GPUs are venting up) then have right-angle dongles (which are very Apple now) under a magic magnetic lid compartment. Or, recess them enough (increase the case height) enough that you can plug in normal DP / HDMI cables.

I like it, but it's not proprietary enough for Apple to make. They didn't come out with a single upgrade GPU for the Mac Pro dustbin design, so I doubt they care much about selling modularity or upgradability these days. Their message is clear: "upgrade" means new device, which means all the products they sell are disposable appliances.

IMO, they could open up MacOS to work on some variations of hardware and sell it for $300-$500. They would still make the nicest hardware, but since desktops and laptops obviously aren't their main focus anymore, they could still offer power users good tools to build all these amazing mobile apps on without limiting them to their current slim pickings. Hell, even just make XCode cross-platform. Even just let it run on X, and use the Windows Linux subsystem to support it.
Whenever I've jumped ship, I've jumped to a simpler or faster version because the advances (at a perceived performance loss, or further UI changes).

Opera used to be really fast, but then it started to come with lots of other useless tools (email, bittorrent client tool) and try to be an internet package

So I jumped to Firefox which was simpler and Thunderbird was a separate client. Then that started to be clunkier, so I tried Chrome, which was faster.

Much like laptop getting thinner, the gains are in the wrong area.

What I want is a fast, secure browser that can remember history and bookmarks - everything else can be an add-on.

As I understand it, using the ground as a passive thermal sink is great for 'survival' but not so great for 'comfort' in my experience. A coworker of mine built a log home in Montana with a thermal reservoir which put the reservoir heat exchanger 80' under ground. Water is circulated through radiator type devices in the house.

It certainly takes some load off the HVAC system but I didn't get the sense from him that it was as much as 30%.
I was there 2010-11 and can't recall the specific policies.

But since it only resolved internally, if I wanted something to appear at that address it had to be a GoDaddy product that functioned on that system (various website builders, etc.)

The "better listening experience" is a tired argument, if you have a sentimental / emotional attachment to vinyl then the advantage is very real but for those of us not attached to the medium the listening experience is not better.

Vinyl may sell "well" but not if you compare it to other media, such as CDs. Even though CDs continue to collapse in popularity they still move 8x as many units as vinyl (and they're more durable, smaller, higher fidelity, etc). Albums instead are getting mastered for iTunes and Spotify, and that's had a much better effect on master quality than the vinyl resurgence.

> They're both moonshot branches of much larger companies

Not at all! Skunk Works started with one single focused mission. To design a jet to compete with the German Messerschmitt! Yes, they did a lot of things differently to clear bureaucracy out of the way and get stuff done. But to call Skunk Works a "Moonshoot" branch is not correct at all. The definition of moonshoot includes not having an expectation of profitability. Lockheed saw a threat, saw a need, and saw huge potential for profits!
All you really need is FWD and snow tires. Sure AWD and extra height will save you some shoveling that one time you will park a little too far in a snow bank, but it's not worth the extra cost and weight.

John Quincy Adams, he called the sitting presidents wife a whore during his campaign. I'd argue Hillary Clinton had more scandals prior to office, but she lost.

Name another president who ran when there was over 310 million Americans.

>Name another president who's actively hostile against several major branches of government

Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight "beware the military industrial complex" Eisenhower, and JFK.

>Name another president who's apparently been collaborating with a major foreign adversary.

Well if the standard of evidence on that is "unnamed sources" and top secret documents nobody is going to see for a few decades. All of them according to my unnamed source in my top secret document.

In the interest of fairness may I note that Hillary Clinton's state department approved a sale of 20% of this nations uranium to Russia and shortly thereafter she received a few million dollar donation to the Clinton foundation from a Russian weapons manufacturer who had directly benefited from that deal. Clearly she didn't think Russia was a threat when she was cashing their checks.

Sure, but it's orders of magnitude faster than dynamic sites. Additionally, stick CloudFlare in front of it and it's 100% fine for 99% of sites :)
At my last job, we had servers with 64 cores, 1TB ram, and 100+ TB of storage that were taxed to their full extent by one or two people at a time. The job was essentially taking multi terabyte datasets and matching, filtering, and mutating them based on some customer requirements.

Those servers cost a ton of cash, and we had a handful of them. I could easily see my workflow being improved and maybe even money being saved if that much horsepower was given locally to the few who used it most. But the server model also worked fine.

Personally, I have a monstrous box at home in terms of GPU, ram, and processing power, and it's mostly useful for running automated tests in multiple VMs at a time, kicking ass with ocl-hashcat, and doing hardware accelerated ML training. I don't do those things often, but I'm glad to have a beast when I do. Also, it's fun to eyefinity dual 4k on full settings ;)
