https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fsp-dagger-600w-sfx-psu... is a review of SFX the psu used, I assume in the smaller case. Quiet, but not the best. The other psus in the BOM list are excellent EVGA units, oversized, and they picked the older G2 model - which is good, the G3 has (or had?) issues with the fan curve and can be loud. The G2 is reasonable quiet as well.

The Arctic case fans are not the very best but very good for their price, reasonable choice as well. I use them myself, in my very quiet PC.

I don't see sound insulation in the BOM, I might miss it. But the regular customer hardware used there I can judge seems very reasonable picked. Not the usual bad cost optimization you see in regular pre-builts.

I get the impression you're not arguing that biodiversity preservation is bad or stupid, just economically not viable (i.e. there is not enough resource available to maintain this goal). One (arguably too) simple option is just to have governments tax offending businesses and pool these taxes into programs that support biodiversity. This is the more pro government-leaning viewpoint. The libertarian viewpoint is to have a bright, Elon Musk-like businessman or company that innovates into creating a cheaper and more sustainable solution to the business that's causing biodiversity loss, pressuring incumbent business to change.

Realistically, shouting "biodiversity" doesn't say all too much. What biodiversity? Deforestation is a different problem to the disappearance of the bee population (in terms of economic pressures on these things), and each needs to be tackled in a thoroughly researched, carefully considered manner. There probably isn't a single correct solution to this problem, and solving it will require a collection of viable solutions that incentivise economically, socially and morally.
Me too, tested it today and I like what I see.

> Of course my engineer friends always talk about how you can never verify down to the chip level

Well, I don't think that is the general case for software, that people will manually assamble a bootstrap assembler from machine code (and how would you verify your editor? Maybe write to floppy and verify the bit pattern via electron microscope?) - and build up from there.

Proving an entiresystem secure would be very hard.

But to have parts that you can say "if I trust this, then it follows that I can trust all of these things that follow" is very useful.

And so it is with hardware, too.

Not to mention how useful it is to have a well documented, open platform (even if it's not libre), like eg the commodore Amiga 2000 that came with full schematics of the motherboard, along with measuring points, so it was feasible to find and replace faulty components, write drivers and build third party add-ons.

Great, so you made $50k because your $200k house is now worth $250k - a 25% increase.
You now have a family and bigger income and are looking at a bigger house priced $500k. You are really glad that you “made” $50k on your old house.

But wait, if the new house is in the same neighbourhood, it’s price increase was probably also close to 25%. If prices had stayed the same, it would be worth $400k today.

So you just gained $50k on your old house but are paying $100k more on the new one.

This is only beneficial if you move from a large house in a popular area to a smaller house in a less popular area.

If you have kids, they might inherit the wealth gained from your housing “investment” - after splitting with their siblings and after taxes of course. Sounds good, until you realise that they will have to spend it all - and put in extra - on housing because of the price increases.

In a world where housing prices stay the same, or become slightly cheaper year by year, everyone is better of. The prices of common utilities such as food and clothing have gone down spectacularly in the last decades while quality has gone up. No one would rather live in a world where these had instead become more expensive.
It’s time we start thinking about housing in the same way.
Thank you for the explanation, it makes perfect sense - as an RGB picture is represented in a three dimensional list of numbers for red, green, blue you're not constrained by that, you might as well throw anything in there.
The article states:

>1) First, we seek to understand the existing state of customer growth – including growth loops, the quality of acquisition, engagement, churn, and monetization. 2) Then, to identify potential upside based learnings from within the company as well as across benchmarks from across industry.

California is obviously an outlier in real estate discussions. Obviously in highly desirable areas, demand will keep going up will cause rents and home prices to keep going up, and of course owning will be better.

NYC/AUS/DEN/SEA/PDX are also forecast to be high demand, but who knows when an earthquake or drought or whatnot can come along and destroy home values. But for most other places not posting double digit growth like Midwest towns or the Northeast with its stagnant high tax suburbs, home values don’t see the rise in value that make it a no brainer to buy.
There are already a large number of fights over this. And the solution is the same: complain and hope for the court of public opinion to go your way.

Can you explain what you mean by safety issues? Having traveled to China a lot I've always been under the impression that it's quite safe so I'm assuming since you've bundled it with the firewall and surveillance that you refer to something to do with the government making one unsafe.

To be honest the hardest part is not understanding single rotations, but understanding how rotations compose.

Thinking about a scalar + bivector as the quotient of two vectors or as the composition of two reflections is easy enough. But that still doesn’t yield a solid understanding of how rotation works – 3D rotation is subtle and tricky, even for people who have pretty good spatial reasoning and a lot of experience working with solid geometry / 3D design.

I have been thinking about the best interactive diagram(s) for giving people a good intuition about that for a long time, and I have some ideas but I still haven’t implemented anything and I’m not sure how well it will work.

Hey, thanks for replying!

However, I feel like you glossed over the proposed workaround, which I feel is appropriate (though more complicated if you want to implement"defade"), and extremely easy to implement.

I took a couple minutes to write an octave script that implement the workaround [1], it would have been even easier if both images had already been distinct files, and perfectly aligned.

The basic idea here is the same as the one behind the YUV transform: our brains are much less sensitive to the chroma channels than the luma channel. So I separate those, and keep the original luma channel, while I use the reconstructed chroma, which is lower-resolution.

Judge the results by yourself, but it seems to me that the end results are a whole lot better: https://imgur.com/a/n2sBYCi

And it could still be improved a lot more (by using the original high-resolution image, and avoiding to hand-align the images).

Edit: also, ironically, the Indigo dye (thus blue clothes) didn't become common before the 1900s [2], so the bias might produce historically-inaccurate images!

I agree with the big idea of conservation of biodiversity, but it really bothers me when these articles are using what seems like lies and fear tactics to convince me. 2 years? Why is it so urgent? The article doesn't explain. And "By 2050, Africa is expected to lose 50% of its birds and mammals," sounded really implausible to me. I had to do further research to determine that they are probably actually referring to "50% of species" rather than "50% of population", which is a very big difference that seems the opposite of what is implied. In this case, "face our own extinction" seems like a huge overexaggeration.
This kind of deception and disregard for actual facts makes me much less sympathetic to the cause.

He is part right in his observation that things have become so generic due to influx of tourists, and increasing globalisation.

The reasons for those are that, a majority of tourists(not travelers) like that 'generic services' about the basic things, like the food, transit, conversations etc. Quite a few of them want to go to places others have already gone to, and want the least surprises (hence low anxiety) and hence this generic trend is kicking on. Source: user interviews. I run a travel startup - in early days - and have been talking to the users a lot. The ones I talked to, do not see travel as a unique or surreal experience, but something to take a break out of their mundane lives.

So, these generic experiences are becoming more mainstream. My hometown is Udaipur - the city of lakes in India. You would find all those generic things that author describes in that small city too. However, there are specific hubs, places that are formed only to cater to those travelers who want to experience the local culture - food, clothings, living like a local, and so on. These places get a lot of traction. But are not publicized anywhere on tripadvisor or those popular blogs [1].

Just how things have evolved. People want to experience different culture, only in the things they like, and want other things to be same.

Which aren't being fully backported to .NET Framework, whereas many libraries still don't run on Core.
I am not sure if I understand how to apply this to every 3D engine. A 3D engine uses 4D matrices so that it can concatenate rotations, scaling, translations, and perspective correction into one matrix operation using matrix multiplication, i.e., it can represent any sequence of 3D operations in a single matrix.

So what is the equivalent structure I'd use with trivectors to combine arbitrary 3D transformatinos into a single operation, like every 3D engine needs?

The linked Versor library was also not very helpful -- it has the rotate operation on a vector, but I found no 'make rotation' and 'make translation' and 'make frustrum' and 'apply transformation' and 'concatenate transformation' operations.

Then maybe we just need to write Linux off as simply unfixably sucking as a desktop OS.

If you don't want to do that, then you need to realize that the DE is THE point of contact between the user and those problems. As such, fixing those problems starts there.

> Sure we save ourselves, but face it, our economic system is a rational system

I had a good laugh at this. It's only "rational" (or efficient) at optimizing the parameters we give it.

I'd argue that if "saving ourselves" is not a priority, then right now there are some important parameters missing.

If we'd put a sizable tax/cost on causing environmental harm, you can bet that "economic system" is gonna optimize the heck out of its processes to not cause that harm.

You're way too trusting. While I do think drugs like this should exist for those who really need it (particularly terminally ill patients), I'm incredibly worried about how these drug companies intend to profit from the drug (by selling these drugs to doctors in a way that encourages their use in circumstances that in no way warrant it). Their profit motive and the incredible expense of developing a new drug directly contradicts the need for restrictive and sparing use of the drug to appropriate contexts.
> 1. GTK+ is completely (GNOME) community owned (QT is a company owned, which companies like to avoid)

If avoiding commercial vendors is what you want, do not look at the emails in the GTK commit messages :-).

Qt is covered by an agreement with the KDE Free Qt Foundation which ensures that even if the company decides to stop developing it (even in case of bankruptcy or acquisition) or to stop releasing it as open source, the Foundation can release it under an open source license.

It's in no worse shape than GTK+ in this regard, except it has more paid developers.

> 2. QT is LGPLv3+/GPLv3+. This, I assume, is to encourage buying commercial license than promoting free software. GTK+ is LGPLv2.1+, a lot of individual/small team developers prefer [L]GPLv2 over [LA]GPLv3.

This is, legit, the other way 'round. Large companies are the ones preferring GPLv2 over GPLv3 because of the tivoization clause. In the services/consulting industry, ensuring that a BSP is free of (L)GPLv3 components is basically a standard statement in SoWs.

Small teams and independent developers sometimes stick with GPLv2 because it has fewer legal pitfalls and they don't mind commercial attention, but it's not in your favour :-).

The code complexity of Gnome has been steadily decreasing, not increasing in the last 7-8 years. The impending "crisis" has nothing to do with code complexity and everything to do with how design and implementation decisions were made (and, of course, with many of those decisions).

The boomers didn't vote when they were young, either.
Hah, I try to avoid it.
Yes and No. The trick is that "as a whole" people change attitudes through life. In general, as you get more wealth, you become more conservative, as you get older, you generally end up with more wealth, so in general people become more conservative as they age.

The trick is that the baby boomers made a lot of progressive changes when they were younger, and we shouldn't take that away from them. However those changes were largely made since they benefitted the younger baby boomers.

As they get older, they are still influencing society in a way that largely benefits them over others, and sine they are wealthier, that tends to be in the direction of wealth creation.

Of course, every generation does this, the baby boomers just have an oversized representation, they have a better ability to "distort" the market/political landscape.

Of course this is all about generalisations, there are plenty of anecdotes that will refute parts of these stories, but anecdotes are not trends.
The counterpoint is that we have already seen a steady temperature rise. So even though the specifics of the various simulations might not play out as predicted we can expect temperatures to rise.
