A live DVD of some Linux variant (Puppy or Alpine come to mind)? I'm not sure that I would want to run it for that long unless you figure out some way to run your browser off a different device, though; security updates aren't something that's safe to put off for a year.
Right! Nothing like buying an already-deployed $6B satellite network for pennies on the dollar to bootstrap a successful company ;)
NTFS was much better than FAT, and was one of the first journaled filesystems in widespread use. It was praised perhaps 20 years ago.
Thanks! One day maybe! It's been an interesting ride - before I got involved I'd never really thought much about plants. I have a good few (alive!) ones dotted around now. Love it :-)
People always throw these concepts around as though 'First world countries' is 4 or 5 individual people. I didn't cut down any forest, neither did my family. Perhaps my family trade was training birds in those forests, so I was personally very disadvantaged by cutting them down. So should I have to pay other countries not to cut theirs down now? My point is, these high-level thoughts are theoretically sound but can never be applied to the real world.
If you’re not against PHP and hosting PHP code, as mentioned in the OP my go-to tool would be Kirby. The mix of static content and a powerful content API is the sweet spot for me, when I don’t absolutely need static HTML. It does require a paid licence though (note: I’m not affiliated with Kirby or its developers).
They dont retool all that much. Plastics and panels, mainly. The Tesla approach is materially different in pretty substantial ways. Using the battery as a structural member means that before its glued in the frame must be handled more delicately. The drive unit mounts are totally different and potentially require almost the whole suspension to retool conpared to normal.

The little differences can have huge impacts: Tesla batteries are just a few inches wider than the Bolt's, but those few inches mean wiring has to go through the roof or side rails instead of a more conventional route. That's a really seriously large change for some cars. They potentially have to run wiring before the interior, drive or battery goes in- completely changing the factory floor.
All processors in the last 15-20 years have had low-power states.

Its standard fare really. dropping into low power mode in an idle loop has been standard practice for that long also.

In embedded systems, the real difference is how you can schedule your application-level events to make optimal use of the low power states of both the core you're using, the other cores and on-board devices (e.g. FLASHs, ADCs, DACs, etc).

This is how iOS and Android try to have an effect by managing the applications use of timers and wakeups from external devices (interrupts) so as to maximise the 'sleep' time.
Why would this article lead to the conclusion that Bloomberg should apologize?

The interviewee says that Bloomberg is inaccurate in that it appears to single out only SuperMicro servers. This article reinforces their claims by pointing out that not only is it an issue for SuperMicro, it’s true of the industry at large.

Bloomberg’s explanation for focusing on the SuperMicro bit is fairly clear. That’s where their sources confirmed. I’m pretty sure nowhere in the article does Bloomberg state that none of SuperMicro’s competitors have this issue. If anything, the SuperMicro incident which they have been able to find evidence for is held up as an example.

> In other words, static safety in the face of circular references is what would provide me a major clear advantage for better-than-C++, and unfortunately that doesn't seem to be something that is even seen as an opportunity for Rust.

Having a compiler able to solve the halting problem would also be “a major clear advantage for better-than-C++”, but too bad it's impossible … Arbitrary circular graphs can't be statically managed, that's it. Your need a runtime support, and it will either be a garbage collector, or some kind of constructions with array an indices.
Are you sure DO's private network traffic is actually encrypted or even isolated? Back some time ago, any host within the same private network could be reached. I wasn't surprised to see connection attempts from random hosts on eth1.

Years ago I wrote an application which was essentially a neural circuit of a sea slug (they only eat and forage) with my now wife.

https://austingwalters.com/modeling-and-building-robotic-sea...

We then showed how (using netlogo) how when another neural circuit for aggressive behavior was added (but the connections of the markov chain had yet to be trained) the sea slugs. After adding the aggressive circuit and letting generations live and die using a genetic algorithm - it appeared to observers like the animals became social. I.e. only the territorial sea slugs remained, and they wouldn’t attack ones of the same species, this proved to be the best for “survival”.

The goal of the work was to provide insight into what neural circuits can lead to social behavior. Specifically, what environmental conditions can lead to an evolutionary trait that triggers social like behaviors.

Honestly, idk if you can make any “claims”, but it was a fun undergraduate project. The best part is we exported the trained models from the Netlogo program, then imported them into a lego robot. At which point our robot had learned to be aggressive - I.e. would “chase” people away from the food source.
> it turns out that "this field should exist" doesn't save that much because you still have to write "... and have a sensible value" in your own code.

Disagree. Dozens of "x should exist" checks are tedious to write and even more tedious to read, obscuring the more relevant business-specific validation logic. Better to move the low-hanging fruit into the message format.
Fallen in a parabolic arc. They did have considerable horizontal velocity already at that point. The usual Soyuz descent involves a more shallow angle, with some aerodynamic lift generated by the capsule’s flat bottom, as well as (very) limited controllability using eight hydrazine thrusters around the capsule. But the great thing about the Soyuz is that even without control it can land safely if somewhat uncomfortably.

Your explorer issue is Windows Defender's realtime protection. If you toggle it off you'll see the operation you're trying to run complete almost instantly.

I like Windows 10 and generally have been happy with it -- but that particular behavior has been driving me nuts for a while. They really need to fix it.
UBI sounds great, I even caught myself thinking how good it'd be, I'd only need a small amount saved and I can take a year out and focus on personal projects, which would be amazing, and then I thought I'm not special, lots of other people probably have the same idea, and if enough people act on it in UBI will fail horribly, which is why I don't think it'll work, but I guess we'll see.
Yeah, that was weird. I remember that as the only time I actually felt that Linux had a decent shot at the Desktop. New money had rolled on to the scene with a coherent vision, started fixing a lot of the suck, and quickly became the predominant distribution.

Then something happened and Canonical went crazy with NIH and mobile obsession. Then they tried to monetize in a stupid way.
So don't use GNOME? I like XFCE, but there are other desktop environments around that don't try to destroy ("modernize") themselves every few years.
Yay! Windows won't delete my data anymore!!

I can't believe I can say that.
It certainly brings the suitability of Windows for production use into question. Not only this bug, which is outrageous, but the direction of Windows 10 in general before this.

I won't try to defend their execution, but I think they're trying to solve a legitimate issue. It's really confusing to an end-user if they see two Documents folders.

And I'm certain that I've personally encountered instances where both Documents folders had the Documents special folder icon (though I'm not sure if I've seen this on Win10, specifically)

We don't need software to socialize.

Some tasks of our life can be taken over by software, but others should stay with us.

Especially with the advent of AI, engineers are racing to automate everything: from suggesting us new friends, new music, with which dresses we look smart, and so on.
Automating everything will cause the atrophying of our skills and we will become a bunch of lonely depressed, smartly dressed users with thousands of virtual friends and perfect music playlists that never deviate from our preferred music.

Automation is fine and dandy, but not for everything.
Sure, but cynicism is a double edged sword. Having Donald Trump is a solution to the problem of having a "politician" in charge, but now, as they say, America has n+ problems.

Such as the likelihood that he trusts Fox News more than his own cabinet, or his calling out hits on people likely because he just assumes that's how government works.
You may want to reread OPs comment - it mentions nothing of withholding information from the family, nor what they themselves want to hear.

The post author seems to have not reviewed at least the Hugo docs very well. One clean sign is that he listed "Page Bundles", "Leaf Bundles", index.md and _index.md as "different concepts", when in fact they are all Page Bundles.

Also the author completely missed the point that everything is a "page".

I wish I had time to write a detailed reply to this post but looks like the author has made up his mind to puke on Hugo. I hope this reply serves as a warning that the author's warning about Hugo is very uneducated.

AMA regarding clarification about Hugo in that post.
rhetorically specious to claim that I was

Chill, dude. I was offering a sincere apology.

"mainstream" means not some kind of apocalypse cult

Yeah, no shit. And I believe this Pentacostal church with over 7 million members worldwide would take exception to your calling them that. Talk about a specious argument.

adherents of Islam irrational, violent, and brainwashed

Give me a break. This is ridiculous.

Wars will be stopped by increasing our understanding and acceptance of each other, not by decreasing it.

I completely agree. And I think religion is too powerful a tool to sow divisions by those who wish to for whatever advantage it affords them. Your line about Islam that I snipped above, which I've never heard be used to describe Muslims in general outside of the Christian Right rhetoric, comes to mind.

Take this thread as an example. I've made a simple claim that the idea of God is a powerful tool and should be, somehow, removed as a basis of political decision-making (don't ask me how, though!). Your reaction is completely over the top, including mis-representing my arguments in what I consider a hostile and divisive manner, forcing my response on a thread I would just as soon let die.

Ironically, your reaction in defense of God is exactly what scares me about God.
Why women find it comfortable to end pregnancy in home
Reading comprehension is a lost art i see in no where was it stated that cutting a the stream was done because of the families and friends especially solely but you need to be especially thick to reason that this isn't a consideration not to mention a benefit.

In an emergency situation it's pretty common to shut down all non official communications and direct everything through the contingency execution channels as well as to clear all non essential personnel from the room and stop all non essential activities this includes activities such as streaming and posting on instagram to the dismay of millennials everywhere.

It takes a special kind of person to think that the only reason people cut the stream during emergency is because they are trying to cover their asses, these people have dedicated their life to a job that isn't glamorous, doesn't pay well even in the US yet alone russia so yes they care about their colleagues and the people who they send up to space it's not that big of a club.

And it's in no way presumptuous to think that families and friends of those who were in the capsule might not want the world to see the events as they unfold in real time in case the worst happens. I don't think you'll find many people that would say yes I would like the screams of my loved one to be broadcast live as the spacecraft they are in crashes into a mist of fire and debris on the ground.

So yes congrats for managing to create a troll account for a single purpose of telling me exactly how wrong i was.
"AV makes any computer slow" is still true. Scanning every file every time it's accessed simply can't take zero time.

"But think of the security!" they'll say... of course, it's always a tradeoff. I've experienced a similar problem with a large growing logfile --- appending becomes essentially quadratic, every time the process closes the log the AV opens and scans all of it.
I think that was the goal of App.net. It shut down last year.
"The biggest problem with inequality is the floor." No it is not.

Inequality is a much bigger problem than just the people at the bottom. It is associated with a plethora of bad outcomes. This includes poor physical and mental health outcomes, happiness, and other core indicators of societal wellbeing.
Or be from MIT? Not sure which debate you saw, but I recently watched an Intelligence Squared about "the promise of AI" in which he made a similar argument, along with many others. His team jumped 29% percent audience agreement in the post-poll.

I don't know how many in the audience would know the reference, but the fact that he worked directly with Minsky made it a pretty lopsided debate, in terms of credentials.
For sure everyone have his favorite way of doing things and what seemed obvious for some will look strange for others.

As I tested myself several SSG, I (as many it seems !) thought « Well, none fit my needs so let’s make one »

My problem was that I need an interface for the final clients, which are no tech at all, to be able to edit content.

Solutions like Hugo are not possible as it would means install it on a computer at the client office, and make him/her understand how to deploy. No go.

As the post states, they would also have to learn some stuff. Even more no go.

So for those case, the solution is to use a CMS like Wordpress. Which I don’t want.

So I built my own, using the best of both worlds.

For the backoffice, for managing content, a PHP/MySQL classic, with a media gallery and a tinyMce. Pages are in categories which can have subcategories and pages, as deep as you want.

Each page must have a template.

A preview button (which is the key) and an export site button.

And that’s all.

Of course, it only suits my needs (as me or some clients like web agencies will be in charge of the templating) and have no means of going public, so don’t fit what OP was looking for.

But it works, it was a two days job to create, and as it’s all mine, I can add any functionality I want.
Nah, the Bolt battery isn't nearly as structural. It increases chassis stiffness but has a low impact on safety. The reason is it's essentially hanging off chassis rails- Tesla batteries basically join to the chassis to form one big box.

The bolt battery also has no internal ribs, just a couple pretensioning bolts (to prevent vibration). It's only slightly stronger than a gas tank in an impact. Tesla batteries have huge internal ribs/separators that make the battery very resistant to deformation and intrusion in an impact.

The Tesla battery is also about 10% wider, which makes a HUGE difference. A side impact in the Bolt will be through your leg before it hits the battery. In the Tesla the battery will be hit around the same time you are, making it an extremely integrated part of the safety cell. Its much more complex to build this way, since theres no undercarriage to route things through.

I reread this three times, and what a contrived way to look at the world. You are the one coming up with all these labels, and trying to project it into other people's arguments.

Let me play the same game: I know a black guy who is president. Does that mean all black men are political? What about the one who just wants to play sports. Will we now call him an athletic black man, instead of just a black man...

You can generate endless arguments like this depending on your choice of anecdote and label.
Wine is hit-or-miss, but when it works it tends to be a good option.
To add to the other poster, while the LES was jettisoned, in this case it seems that the booster failed to ignite, which allowed normal staging separation.
I think attacking a widely used open source piece of software rather than trying to help improve it behind the scenes without drawing attention to yourself will always be less work.

I’d like to highlight a few points that are mostly not about Windows.

> * windows don't remember their previous position on multi-screens.

Not an OS concern. Most applications do remember, by the way.

> * terminal beeps at you on every tab with more than one option, always have to keep sound muted.

Windows terminal doesn’t have a bell. WSL does, as does macOS or anything Linux/UNIX really. You can disable it of course. Google "wsl disable bell".

Either way, nothing new or objectively bad.

> * no idea whether that's win10, spotify or thinkpad software, but hitting a media key produces a NON DISMISSIBLE big overlay for spotify that just hangs there for a good 10 seconds and blocks the stuff I want to click.

That’s mostly Spotify. It can be disabled in settings. Windows only shows the volume "slider", which is gone after 5 seconds

* some older Logitech mouse I connect has buggy assignment of forward/back keys - does a completely random operation instead. Windows doesn't seem to have a GUI-way to set this stuff up

Nothing is "random". Except perhaps when the device is broken. Mouse buttons 1-5 have been well-defined for 10+ years now.

> * terminal has no tabs and crappy colors and I don't wanna go down the rabbit hole of trying to integrate WSL with a non-default terminal emulator. I've installed the spring update, won't touch october one for a while at least.

Yes, it sucks. You can either enable SSH and SSH into WSL or just use wsltty (which offers bell options!).

> * there's no integration of WSL & windows GUI layer.

That’s a given. WSL is only for developers.

> A naive view would have been that as LCDs took off, their efficiency would lead to a drop in power consumption over CRTs. The Jevins paradox shows that not necessarily to be the case - bourne out by the proliferation of displays where previously there were none and in displays getting larger.

I think we'd need to run the maths before making any claims there tbh. We're getting dangerously into the realm of using assumptions as statistics. Points we'd need to consider:

* how much more efficient are LCDs compared to plasma and CRTs per square inch.

* how much did the trend to bigger screens proliferate with plasma vs LCD

* how has the cost of LCD and plasma screens changed over the last 20 years (this should be broken down by TVs with features such as smart TVs, 3D, HD, 4k, curved screens, etc)

* what about the uptake of said features on TVs?

* and lastly are those features only available on TVs of screen sizes > n?

* any other variables I've not considered? (I've only quickly thrown some thoughts together so there's bound to be some metrics I've missed)

I think the point you're making is a pretty hard conclusion to argue (or for me to refute) without any meaningful statistics to back it up. However it does still make for an interesting discussion so while the conclusion may remain unproven I have enjoyed the debate :)
Imagine the response if it was a forced automatic update...

So for the purposes of discussion, there are technical people and non-technical people. The claim up-thread was that technical people are fine on Linux. So then this commenter comes along and points out that there are non-technical people who do fine on Linux. In this context, this assertion is completely relevant and useful.
