No, I'll try it though. After a small talk introduction I'll usually use (the fairly similar) "so what do you do with (/how do you spend) your days?!" - or sometimes "time" and sometimes "_like_ to do with". Generally depends who I'm talking to and what I know already.

Asking about work seems to define the direction of the conversation, and some people don't work, which makes it a little awkward. Everyone does _something_ so this gives whoever you're talking to an opportunity to pick what they want to talk about - "I work in marketing" or "I'm trying to get my black belt in karate". Then you just starting picking around that topic and ever so often drop in a short annecdote or story of your own (followed by another question - "has that ever happened to you?!") to keep the conversation going.
University in most part didn't broaden my mind when I really think about it. But I was curious what the pinnacle of formal education was, a level that no one else in my family has been able to achieve. I'd say it's partly sham (when I studied business and psychology), partly lived up to its standards (when I studied the most difficult courses in CS).

The most mind broadening experience I had was taking one course in Buddhism. I did this outside of my degree, the course doesn't show up on any of my diploma's. That truly was a mind broadening experience. That experience was also unique unfortunately.

It was a mixed bag, but ultimately worth it.

Funnily enough, that person does not have it backwards. It's the _article_ and the terminology it uses from the USA that have it backwards. This is revealed by the fact that the article claims that Silicon Valley's elite are both "staunchly conservative on regulation" and have "anti-regulatory zeal".

So you're actually agreeing vigorously with the guy to whom you're responding.
Academia is one of the few professions that do well in communist societies. Also in Western societies, they benefit from the state giving them other people's money.

So it's easy and self-serving for an academic to be a socialist.
The Economist has been consistent i advocating in for (among other things) legalizing drugs, same-sex marriage, more public transport, carbon trading, nuclear energy, less regulation, freer immigration and many other things that were not and are not the "consensus opinion".

It's not just about costs. It's about size!

The higher the efficiency, the less solar cells you need.

This has impacts on environment (solar cell farms), adds possibilities for miniaturization (what, if a vehicles rooftop could feed all the energy needs of said vehicle or, at least, constantly refuel it?), mobile device chargers (could be even become the outer hull of a battery, so you just need to place the battery in light to charge it), small cells, that produce high energy, could be made part of clothing (must not be this tech, I am thinking about miniaturization in general). Possibilities seem endless...
Of course you are correct, it's not "free". I always chuckle when I hear about "free" education, "free" healthcare, etc. Somebody is paying for it. It might not be you, at least not at this moment. But if you ever make any money you will be paying for someone else's education. And maybe you are ok with that, improving society and all, assuming you believe what they are learning in university actually does that.
It's super hard to find anything worth watching, and for me this is exasperated by the fact that you don't know about subtitles before starting a movie. Have to do a good deal of IMDb cross-referencing plus then peeking inside with those rare matches.

I'm seriously considering going back to DVD rentals -- yes, there are still a couple of stores open here.
Sure any problem with vandalism and damaging other peoples property is generally tricky to resolve, but why are people with guns shooting at things that don't belong to them? Are you in favor of that behavior, indifferent to it or sadly resigned to it?

This doesn't really say anything about effective learning, it kind of just talks around it.

As an elementary school teacher and a MSc Psych student, I can tell you that spaced repetition is the best way for learning facts. And it's not just my fancy - here's one of the many studies that prove it:

"Practice tests, spaced practice, and successive relearning: Tips for classroom use and for guiding students’ learning."
http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2015-13426-004

You can google the paper and get it free online.

While we're at it, learning styles are not a real thing:
https://digest.bps.org.uk/2018/04/03/another-nail-in-the-cof...

If you need more proof, just read the papers in the references.

If someone asked me what the two most important things for an average person to know about learning, it would be that 1. Ebbinghaus's "Forgetting Curve" is real, and you will forget most things that you learn within 30 days if you don't review them properly and 2. Spaced repetition, especially aided by software such as Anki, is the best way for the average person to learn and retain large amounts of information.

https://apps.ankiweb.net/

Now, if one is keen, you can upgrade you learning with the use of mnemonics, both mental and visual, and drawing things helps immensely: https://digest.bps.org.uk/2018/11/22/the-act-of-drawing-some...

But for the average person that won't put in the extra effort, 1. Ebbinghaus's Forgetting Curve and 2. Spaced Repetition are probably the most important things to know about.

I should have rephrased that! The main point is it seem to put us in a very risky situation with methane release. They're mentioning how doing the extraction can potentially destabilize the whole reserve and lead to massive releases.

Then there's also the eco system aspect. The environments surrounding the reserves have unique organisms. What's going to happen with that? Just because we don't see it, it doesn't seem to matter..
Totally off topic. But I’m curious. With your line of thinking I guess all gonverment imposed rules are anti free market.

So if we remove those completely, take away rule of law, abolish property rights and all of that.

Would there then exist a market to speak of at all? Would it be “free”?
Any particular reason spacefm stands out to you over the rest?
The primary benefit of any GUI over a functionally equivalent CLI is the improved discoverability, especially for rare, one-off tasks. CLIs over GuI primarily offers better repetition.

Any comparison between the two systems should stem from there: you’ve only offered half of it.

Eg getting a remote virtual disk set up in OSX’s finder is much easier than on terminal, without googling/general research, for a one-off drive. Getting 50 such disks up and going is far easier on terminal. (CLI has a better O(), but worse constant factor.)

I'd say Apple's product lineup is no less convoluted.

Sure, the Apple site looks nicer, but the product lineup today is still pretty convoluted and it isn't easy to determine which is the 'right' option for you [1].

It's difficult at first glance to work out why the £949 MacBook Air would come with a 1.8 dual core, and the 'New' 13-inch would come with a 1.6 as standard.

I've spent the last two and a half years driving around Africa. 30 countires so far, including over a year through West Africa.

You hit the nail on the head.

For anyone that doesn't get it - here's another great story. Gabon had just had an election before I got there. The people were angry at the result, so they rioted, burned cars, etc. Border closed. That's what the media told "us" about.

When I was there I dug into the details. So the incumbent president was losing by quite a bit during the counting, until his home state was counted. Miraculously, get got 99.9% of the vote in his home state, when in no other state did he get more than 60%. Also staggering, there were more votes cast and counted in his home state than there are people.

The really sick part?

The UN and other international observers declared this a free and fair election, and he remains president.

Ask yourself why the UN and other international Governments & observers would sanction what any 5 year old can see is blatant election rigging.

Follow the money.
Unfortunately this sounds more like a gimmick than anything else.

I have a small suspicion that those who decided for that never set foot in the countries considered for this (though I might be wrong).

Though it is undeniable that there is talent there and we should try to make things easier to them, there is a limit and a compromise in making things not harder for other people as well.

It is called neo-colonialism.

I live in one of these resource-exporting exploited countries (non-Africa) and I can tell you that most everyone here and outside is oblivious to the fact that that our government, nor the ones outside are really protecting our interests as a populace, instead they are doing everything to just propagandize us and keep the status-quo intact.
I disagree partly here: hitting tab twice in a shell usually lists available commands, possibly with some prefix. A GUI has the advantage of context, in that eg menu items of the disk utility make sense as you know they’ll be some operation on disks.

On CLI eg I don’t remember the mkfs command for a file system, I type mkfs and hit tab twice.

It could be better though, of course.

1. Health

I have seen people and family members suffer from very bad chronic deseases. It can make your life a nightmare. I’m thankful that I’m relatively healthy and can lead a normal life without having to deal with problems of my body falling apart.

2. Family

It’s very important to have people you know love you despite your flaws and to know there’ll always be some people to have your back even when anybody else doesn’t care.

3. Friends

Very important to have good friends that you can talk to and help each other.
I just sent a screenshot of this page to my friends as an example on how awful modern websites are. There is one gigantic banner about their black friday sale that covers the top, a cookie notice that covers the lower left, a floating "can I help you?" window that covers the a third of the screen on the right on my 12" screen, and a blocking "Black Friday Deal is ON" banner that blocks all of the middle. I don't see a single character of content.

Wow, you really are the archetypal sea lion, aren't you?

You've seen the cartoon of course, haven't you? Of course you have, because you're acting exactly as the cartoon describes, and you are well aware of what you're doing, while pretending you don't know, and that you never heard of the term, even after it's been pointed out to you several times.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sea-lioning

Now that I've given you a link and explained it to you yet again, your pretense of not knowing what we're talking about when we accuse you of sea-lioning is no longer valid, so give it up.

Failure to acknowledge that you've read the definition of that term, understand what it means, and how it perfectly describes what you're doing, constitutes an admission of guilt that you're not arguing in good faith.
I didn't think about Google spying even more on users but I also frowned when I read that sentence. It seems to lower the bar for hacking into the connection, but probably that 64 bit identifier is embedded in the encrypted data so it should be hard to get it.

To be fair to the proponents of QUIC I add the next sentence, which depicts a use case:

“Tell me about yourself” is not a question it’s an order/request. You can only say that if you have the upper hand already, ie. if the person wants you to know about them for some reason.

It’s arrogant and belittling, unless you are in a position of power (like a famous interviewer). Even then it’s rude. Don’t say it unless you know the person a little already or are interviewing them and literally giving them a platform to tell the world about themselves.

Also to follow up on your link to the documentation of promises in Scala, here is a quote:

“To simplify the use of callbacks both syntactically and conceptually, Scala provides combinators such as flatMap, foreach, and filter used to compose futures in a non-blocking way.”

‘flatMap’ is exactly the bind function for the promise monad. It doesn’t have to explicitly implement some monad interface to be a monad, it just is.
Well, the journal article itself is legit, and there is a plethora of other journal articles on the topic, I just picked BPS since they have the latest live links that aren't behind a journal paywall. But yes, BPS hosted stuff per-se, without digging, isn't always what it seems.

also, i developed a plugin for vim that compiles code for me and sends the output to a second buffer.

sure i can make that work with tmux. codewise it would even be easier, but only if i can trust the user to put all the pieces together for themselves.

if i want to build an end-user friendly package, the whole thing suddenly becomes a lot more complex:

it's no longer enough to say: load this into vim and you are done, but i need to check that tmux is not only available but that the editor is running inside it as well.
and i have to prepare that users will ask me to make this work with screen or any other tmux alternative.

Lab has the cool effect that you can smoothly change the luminance of a particular color in steps (usually scale is 0-100), where each step has an equal perception of change to the user.

Very useful when making gradients.

The problem is, if you do not harvest methan-hydrate now- it will be warmed up by a changing ocean current due to climate change and released from the ocean floor anyway. Pretty similar to the giant holes popping up in perma-frost countries.

The clathrate gun is the most scary doomsday scenario that's very reasonably likely to expect to happen in my lifetime.

It's also a good test for ones ability to cope with existential dread, just tell someone about it, point to the Wikipedia page and see how long it takes until they shutoff and say something like:"nah, we'll figure it out".

On another note, how valid is my anxiety regarding it, are there any pointers based in fact that this will really not be much of an issue?
I tried multiple file managers in the past. Dolphin is really good but it has a lot of KDE dependencies. Thunar had quite a few bugs that annoyed me, for example when I configured backspace to go to the parent directory it activated even when I was editing the path. In the past I used to use Nautilus until it replaced the quick search feature with a recursive search thing, in addition to removing the ability to change keybinds, plus I kept getting crashes and getting a lot of lag when visiting a directory with 10k+ images with it later on. Most of the other file managers that I tried either did not have thumbnails or they did not support tabs.

Spacefm does not have any of the above issues, which is why I am currently using it.
I find these things very hard to read since they're typically written from only one perspective and usually written to make a point. It always leaves me unsure which side to take.
Happy/sad here. European cities are shifting to bikes to cut pollution (noise, brake dust, emission ...) amongst other things so that they are "livable" again. They are definitely putting in kinks in straight roads to prevent speeding and other rash driving. Unfortunate; Looks like Ahmedabad is aping the west (or US more precisely) by prioritizing cars and might end up with problems plaguing these cities now.

That is the problem right there, you need to know mkfs exists to start with.
>> Unicode maintains the position that plain text is unsuitable for this sort of thing and markup languages are preferred.

Well, I think that's an unreasonable position. The most intuitive way to enter mathematical text with a keyboard is to enter the symbols you want to enter, directly, as characters. I mean, nobody asks me, as a Greek speaker, to enter (hypothetical markup) \{greek_letter_xi} for χ or \{greek_letter_ypsilon} for υ, etc, thank the gods. Why do I have to use markup for the simplest things, like fractions and exponentials?

All symbols for math may be in Unicode, but there is no font supporting all of them. It's not Unicode that's at fault here, of course.
