> but on Chrome OS, you only get two de facto contexts (the white one and the black one with the cool spy icon)

I was wondering if you could somehow get Firefox on one, and apparently for ChromeOS instances where you have access to Android apps you can.[1] Not running ChromeOS, I'm not sure if that means you have to be running an ARM variant, or if the app developer needed to enable a specific set of features or compile a special version (e.g. for x86), or if this actually works, but it does seem promising.

From another article I just found[2], apparently if your ChromeOS supports linux apps, you can just apt install Firefox, or if you really need it and nothing else is working, you can use Crouton to use a linux instance within a dedicated Chrome tab and run Firefox there. I suspect many of these might have oddness when dealing with files and sharing between apps, as you noted that as a specific area of interaction that's somewhat odd within Chrome. I'm not sure whether the Android app works well with that either.

FWIW those benchmarks are inconsistent. Usually it’s a matter of optimizing for direct calls to C libraries.
The multi-channel case of using many anti-noise generators is much more complex than a simple single-channel.

I once proved a nice theorem about the multi-channel case, using Lagrangian multipliers and the theory of Gershgorin disks, which are what you get if someone upsets a Tower of Hanoi game all over your complex plane:

Does there have to be a special reason? Being naked or not is something which people do mostly because other people do it (like many other things). It's an inherently unstable system, so to speak, so it's only natural that there are fluctuations.
Yeah they've found concentric circles in the CMB too that turned out to be not statistically significant, but it's definitely a neat theory.
I did try to find a good cohesive and cataloged system, but in the end I just ended up going with folders and descriptive filenames.

For instance, my music resides at "Music/Artist/Year - Album/Track# - Tracktitle.Filetype", with appropriate additions to the Tracktitle to signify bonus tracks, remixes, live tracks and featured artists.

I've adapted pretty much the same system for all of my other documents. It's a bit old-school, but it works.
Funny how I can block in-app ads and trackers on Android even without root. Although that's more thanks to Linux than Google I'm sure.

Gimp may not have full feature parity with Photoshop but unless you are a professional graphics designer or creative worker, Gimp will provide most of the features you need.
Air conditioning, heating, airflow, controlling pests, cycling water out of pipes/vents, and noticing problems like burst pipes.

Could this be evidence of Information panspermia?
Yes, it's a very unhealthy combo to do frequently. The bovine industry along with a connected global marketplace has made it far more abundant than is healthy.

For example, I heard that samgyupsal is mostly fat that isn't typically consumed for grilling, is really unhealthy as it consists mostly of fat lard with little pork meat. but once you taste it it's hard to put down. Typically, lettuce, garlic, onion, sesame oil and in traditionally green onions shredded with red pepper sprinkled. You take a bit of meat, bathe it in the sesame oil sauce with pepper and salt, wrap it up in lettuce, throw in some fermented bean sauce containing healthy probiotics also found in kimchi, and pop it in your mouth. When you get a bit tired of the grease, you yell "WUN SHUT!" ("one shot") and down what seemingly smells like acetone. There's a euphoria that happens when you combine it with family and friends, it's also a common way to bond with your co-workers and superiors.

Typically a traditional Korean meal consists of rice and banchan, or seasoned side dishes, but most people I know just eat rice and kimchi. Also, Koreans have a huge affinity for Pho and vietnamese cuisine because it feels familiar.

Writing about samgyupsal has gotten me salivating lol....

If you truly had to rewrite from scratch you did something wrong, the APIs are not vastly different.
I mean, there are still small status cars with good marketing (Mini) and those are not really that small, nor do they sell as well as large cars.

You can blame it on marketing, but it's still a problem. What you're proposing just moves cars into the "small, cheap, and shabby" category; people buy cars for status, not just economics.
Stop treating tech jerks like gods
Governments would pay for it. As would health insurances. It is in their own benefit that they study this sort of thing. "Big pharma companies" won't because that is honestly outside their field of study, which is the development of pharma products. It seriously isn't worth taking money away from better treatments for malaria or cancer to study it. However, universities and goverments and health insurance companies would be interested. The first is because some universities are research centers and the other two are interested in lowering their costs for health care. Simple solutions are good for these groups.

And about the woman stuff? I don't buy it. Of course they would drop money on it - at the same rate they drop money on menstral studies, anyway (it isn't as much as some other things, but they do study such things). Part of the menstral process is contributed by muscle cramps and gravity. Lying down in general will sometimes make things slow down, especially on the last day or two. Once the person is upright, the person might simply have a heavier flow those days. Without studies, this sort of advice is simply founded in superstition.
>collected a large amount of ebooks, papers, articles, movies, pictures, etc. (all digital).

Since you mentioned those specific examples, I see a commonality and so I'm going to assume you're primarily concerned about organizing files that are not authored/generated by you. (Except possibly pictures/photos since you might be talking about jpgs from your personal iPhone or digital camera.)

This distinction is key because software like Org-Mode, Evernote, MS OneNote, etc is better for personally generated note taking -- like classroom lecture notes, or brainstorming, or personal todo lists. Those tools are not suitable for saving and managing a terabyte of movie files. However, they have one exception to the "being bad at managing collections of the world's data that I didn't write" -- they do have very good "web clipping" functionality. Instead of saving url bookmarks that might suffer digital rot, you can use the web clip tool. (Personally, I prefer to save important webpages as .mhtml archives. This doesn't work for javascript heavy sites but for the type of informative webpages I want to save for later reference, this usually isn't an issue.)

Likewise, the software that's good at cataloging a "library" of collected files with capabilities for custom tagging (e.g. Adobe Lightroom for photos, iTunes for music, Zotero for pdfs, etc) are the wrong tools for archiving personal notes.

For a disparate collection of digital files, the best method I've found is to leverage the native filesystem in Linux/Mac/Windows. Create a hierarchy of well-named folders to build a sensible taxonomy and put all your pdf, epub, mp4, jpg, mp3 in meaningful locations. There is no good universal organizing software for organizing all the file formats that has the longevity and transparency of the native file system.
Personally i can recommend http://zim-wiki.org/

you can organize the "media" think in "attachment" and tag them or create page about them, and you can still find the attachment in your file manager

"Zim is a graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki pages. Each page can contain links to other pages, simple formatting and images. Pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, and can have attachments. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a nonexistent page. All data is stored in plain text files with wiki formatting. Various plugins provide additional functionality, like a task list manager, an equation editor, a tray icon, and support for version control. "

Gender matters because it was men who led the world into cold war (and most wars for that matter). Women helped bring peace. That is still true. Can you not see that?
Nothing applies universally except the laws of physics and tautologies.

But some things apply more than others in aggregate (statistically).

So, well, exclude Ireland and the UK for one.

But you can keep nordic countries, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, and others...

This isn't really about minimal version selection. It's about how it is bad for your code to change behind your back ... which is a much more general and widely-applicable point.
Don't start with figuring out a method to organize your information. You will end up overengineering your org method.

I think this is an important point. I like to start with a few simple rules:

- To retrieve information, I should know where to start: a Schelling point.[0] For me, this is the home page of my wiki. For wenc, it's a Google Doc.

- It shouldn't take me more than three clicks to get from my starting point to the information I'm looking for.

- Links/URLs will tie everything together. They are the edges in my knowledge graph. But as wenc notes, keep the graph shallow.

Then I need to be rigorous, reorganizing things when they don't work intuitively and adding new nodes when something I need has not yet been recorded. As wenc puts it, "discover your own data use patterns."

Wikis do work for me, provided it's organized around Schelling points. I've used and refined these principles in setting up wikis at my last 3 companies and it's worked pretty well for organizing a collective knowledge base as well.

One day I’ll dig into x86 assembly. But not this day.
From conversations with an experienced PHP dev who was recently looking for remote opportunities, all of the good and high paying options were in Ruby.

PHP suffers from an abundance problem where programmer opportunities are concerned. There are a lot of “PHP” developers with skill levels that are highly variable, from Wordpress devs to really hardcore programmers.
I was saying it doesn't make sense to be eating once every 2-5 days, but eating 2-5 days worth of calories during those meals. Obviously if you are food insecure you don't have a choice - but if you have access to the food, only touching it every couple days doesn't make sense.

Even if you have to survive on little money, I don't understand why you would go that long without food and not at least have some ultra cheap foods like rice and beans in your fridge.

You're looking at the wrong data (nominal GDP instead of PPP.) PPP is what I meant and what matters, economically. Japan (+44%) and the USA (+50%) experienced very similar growth: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD?end=2...
England, France and the US have vested interests in China not growing, atleast a very powerful minority do. Opening markets when these foreign actors very recently attacked your population is basically suicide.

Open markets require a certain level of development. Post-Xi (and his anti-corruption measures), this will be possible.

That's actually a good point, the ToS of American companies (and FCC policy) are based on what is, probably, a (prude, christian) minority, imposed on all Americans; and with their dominance over "social" media these rules are imposed on even more people.
The fact that you’re only a click away from being on the internet has something to do with it, but the political pendulum is swinging to the right and no right-winger has ever burned her bra.

I’m not trying to say that everyone has turned alt-right, or anything of the sort, but the general trend in society is increasingly conservative. With that comes more prudishness, but more importantly, higher expectations to be as expected of you and to do well. We’re far less tolerant of individual quirkyness today than we were 15 years ago, because you’re expected to be perfect, so you wouldn’t want to flaunt your flaws at the beach.
Any new laptop with traditional docking station?
I am afraid to buy a new laptop, because of shaky support of USB-C docks. My current Dell docking station connects one horizontal 1920x1600 screen, one vertical 1600x1920 screen, a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, a backup device, an USB sound card/mixer, a mike and a headset. Nothing unusual. But I am afraid these won't work with USB-C docks on Linux with decent latency.

What are my options?
Lol. An article about changing attitudes re nakedness, but no mention of hair or shaving.

Young people today shave more than any past generation. Just look at the magazines. So a young person today, unclothed, is that little bit more "naked" today. It makes a difference twofold. Firstly, naked+shaved people are more exposed to everything from eyes to sun. Secondly, young people don't want to be naked when they haven't shaved. So getting naked is something you have to prepare for in a way past generations did not. A swimsuit is far easier than re-trimming every day.

It is probably a bigger thing for guys. Hairy chests are larger than armpits. Hairy backs are ... difficult. T-shirts are more acceptable at the beach than bears.
As much as I like Rails, those are two examples of catching up. The approach from Active Storage has been the way uploads should have been handled for over a decade and Action Cable is good-enough-for-prototype but otherwise not scalable at all.
Which chromebook do you have and what are its specs? I'm interested in doing the same, and I don't want to spend $800+ for a laptop I'm not going to be super happy with.

I have this problem, except in my case most of my documents are LaTeX. Tried Gitit but didn't like stick with it because only a tiny bit of MathTeX is supported and categorizing has to be done manually and you can easily end up losing pages that you forget to link to others.
I don't think so.

In the Netherlands you can still go to sauna as usual. There are plenty of nudist beaches and campings. A few months ago I went to a party in a club where in the end it was encouraged to wear as little as you'd like. You have still plenty of nude advertisement on television after midnight. You have billboards with nudes. There are TV programs like Adam zoekt Eva (Adam searches for Eve). There are popular clip sites (bit like ridiculous, but without being prude) like dumpert.nl with weakly "vrijmibo" with nudes. Two weeks ago I was in Zierikzee. Mayor was judging nudes with bodypaint. A lot of kids run around naked as well in the backyards when it is hot in summer. No big deal.

No, there is no such thing as the North American shame for genitals or being nude.

I think this is something that’s ridiculously hard in the beginning when your sample size is low, but as you get more users giving feedback, you will probably start to see some clear patterns emerge in what they like, what frustrates them, what features they ask for, etc. While individual pieces of feedback are often all over the place, with more data points, the solution that they all hover around starts to emerge. It can even start to feel ‘obvious’ what your product needs, even though it’s mostly stuff you never could have thought of in isolation.

As far as making money vs. mission, I think the issue is just that truly solving an important problem for lots of people is so absurdly hard that very very few entrepreneurs can manage to achieve it without devoting close to 100% of their focus to this challenge.

People might love that your company is financially transparent and socially responsible, but that won’t get them to use your product. So thinking much about these things before you start seeing product-market fit feels like putting the cart before the horse.

> Young people today shave more than any past generation.

Do you have a source for this?
This is such a poorly researched article.

In the beginning it quotes a railway official saying enough of foreign influence. The Indian railways on the other hand is working closely with Google to deliver free wifi in nearly 400 stations. Google has even formed a susidiary to do this - Google Station.

There may be data protection and privacy requirements which come in - but that is not about colonization. A lot of the awareness on privacy is coming as more and more Indians come in touch with the internet and start wrestling with these issues. More importantly, it is the widespread use of Aadhar, a biometric unique identification system by the government which has also triggered the supreme court to look at data privacy issues. Surely a journalist worth their salt would mention this.

Rather than any push back against tech colonization, i would argue that what we are seeing is a greater awareness on the part of government and citizens about the need for data privacy, as well as concern around misuse of social media. And it will extend to local and global players, obviously.
Well kids [think they] need it often because schools demand it as the only option for homework submissions -- specifically Word document format.

Teachers will provide files in .doc[x] format too.

LibreOffice copes mainly but schools don't seem to know that; and teachers of course get deals to lock them in to MS.
For me for a long time the example of tool that cannot be reasonably battery powered were angle grinders and SDS-mount hammer drills. DeWalt makes both of these for a few years.
> There must have been a very good reason they tested the generational GC as they did.

The reason was that they didn't have time to implement copying GC, per the talk. That's fair as far as engineering schedules are concerned. It says nothing about how good generational GC is in general.

> But what you are completely missing is, that allocating on the heap eventually triggers a GC, which takes cpu resources to perform.

It causes a minor GC only. Those are very cheap.

Yes, there are potential add-on costs. But it's been repeatedly shown that with a fast generational GC, the benefit of escape analysis for garbage collection is marginal. That's why Java HotSpot took so long to implement it. The main benefit of escape analysis in HotSpot, in fact, is that it allows SROA-like optimizations like lock elision, not that it makes garbage collection faster. Generational GCs really are that good.
The US does have nude beaches too... one that’s even monitored by park rangers. Social media and the cameras in our pocket haven’t killed this beach I speak of’s Popularity.

Yeah, it's more like the context of "fine art" painting made inages of sexualized nude women acceptable in "polite society".
This is a “common sense” suggestion that falls at the first bit of actual common sense.

The risk with tools is usually the fingers (ie near the sharp bits of the tool). I don’t know how you do gardening but I think one could garden in the nude for a lifetime without accidentally cutting something off. The other common tool would be a lawnmower and it’s quite common to mow the lawn wearing eg flip flops or sandals even though your feet are close to the blades. I don’t think they protect much compared to being barefoot.

Protective clothing is different. But I think gardening nude is about replacing wearing shorts and maybe a shirt, as opposed to replacing wearing long sleeved clothes and thick gloves.
IMHO The 20+ years spent trying to make a desktop version of linux has SEVERELY reduced overall knowledge of unix practices and patterns. I'm not just talking about things like automake or the contents in /bin that younger programmers never learn, but the CLI in general. A while back I was working with an intern who as struggling with using distributed linux boxes because all he knew was Gnome: the CLI was utterly foreign to him. So I find it upsetting that this "article" would even be necessary.
This is some A+ bah-humbuggery. You want companies to parse sql and translate that to backend api calls? What a nightmare. Data isn’t always co-located, and not all data is allowed to be fetched together (eg, protecting user privacy in Google Analytics).
I paid Canonical for single-seat support for a while years ago. It was useless.

The main problem isn't either of the above. It's that there's no way the annual single-seat price can pay for the time of a competent person investigating even a single incident.

The economics have a chance of working out if an org with a large number of seats pays for support before they have a concrete problem and when they do, the the number of incidents they file don't scale with the number of seats.
Neural Architecture Optimization
This is very true and I see it even in myself. I used to have several friends where I live and they subsequently all moved away. Now I have no real friends here and the work required to get more seems to require a huge activation energy to get over. Sure I could go out and have random conversations with people or join clubs, but very few of those are going to result in anything interesting; of those, a few may result in an acquaintance; of those, a few may progress to a friendship; of those, a few may progress to a meaningful friendship. So I could bang my head against the wall generating unhappiness and frustration for years with no guarantee of success at any point, or I could just chill in my room, smoke some weed, and read hacker news / watch Netflix / play games and be guaranteed some base level of immediate happiness. That's a very hard feedback loop to exit once you get started.

I'm willing to put in a lot of work and have had great success at things where there is a clear goal and highly probable success if I put in the work: weight loss, fitness, studying, career changes, financial management, running a business etc. Relationships are so irritating to me because acquisition is a probabilistic, even random process which seems to have a very low success rate. I'm not fundamentally sold on the idea that it's worth the effort.
