Double the monthly bill for access to a limited number of websites that I probably don't care about, no thanks. I'm sure many people feel the same way. Seems like a bad move business wise. Looks like I was right.

The second answer was verifiable from multiple markets on my end, in high rent areas like Southern California to Seattle where it was common knowledge that luxury items and land was bought up and left empty...unsurprisingly until China decided to start heavily double taxing foreign assets.
I call it "Italian" because they are culturally and technically very similar to the companies that make cheese in Italy, and an offshoot of Auricchio (they have been importing cheese in the US for a long time before starting that US company). They make more or less the same medium quality products Auricchio is known for in this country, I'm not really a fan.
Ikea makes a hand crank model called the Skarstra. Take it from someone who has owned 2 hand crank desks and recently bought a motorized one - spend the extra money to get the motor.

A lot of that is because the minimal phone keyboard doesn't give you a good UI to accept or decline a suggested autocompletion.

With a keyboard and mouse and large monitor, you can display the completion prompt and let the user select or ignore from the various options with Ctrl-Space or similar.

When "Select the first autocomplete over what I typed" is the default behavior, yeah, that sucks. I often end up using the "key combo" Space,Backspace,Space to accept the autocomplete on my phone.

But I definitely see utility in offering a correction for, eg. 'DateTime.Format("yyyy-mm-dd" -> yyyy-MM-dd' or any of the million other idioms that we have to remember or look up. What I don't understand is how Kite can offer useful local-only suggestions - Is the default dictionary that comes with it preloaded with a million lines of open source, or is it literally just my code being suggested?
Your impression of BuzzFeed is about five years in the past. Their news team have been doing some exceptional investigative journalism, and in the UK at least their politics reporting is some of the best out there. They were shortlisted for a Pulitzer last year for their (pre-Skripal) investigation into Russian assassinations in the UK.

If you look at the parts of London with extreme building activity over the last few years (Nine Elms, Battersea Power Stn, Docklands, Aldgate, Old Street, Stratford, Kings X), you'll find that almost everything falls into the studio, 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom range. There has also been a lot of development of commercial student accomodations, see e.g. [1]. Pretty much the antithesis of "leaving things empty".

I also had a Skarsta, and the crank mechanism came apart within about six months. (I raised/lowered it a half-dozen times per day.) I personally found the Bekant more reliable (though I only used it for a year). YMMV, I guess.

On the other hand, my Steelcase standing desk is still performing well after 7(?) years and several moves, but it was C$1500.
OOP-based modules seem to only handle relatively simple "structures" well. If we consider these structures as "entities", then it's limited to roughly 5 entities of less than a few thousand instantiated objects before it starts turning into a mess. It has a scaling problem. And FP doesn't entirely seem to solve it either.

My feeling is that better database-to-app-language integration is needed. Databases better handle big-picture issues, but integrating them with code is a pain in most frameworks because app world and database world ended up too different for unknown reasons.

It seems there was an anti-database fad(s) starting in the mid-90's that made app languages want to pretend databases didn't exist, to be magically hidden behind an interface. We are paying the price for this head-in-the-sand thinking. We should find a way to embrace databases rather than try to wrap them away, because that failed.

It's not a question of 'easy or hard' it's a question of 'easier or harder'.

Being in Czech definitely makes it harder, hands down. Thankfully, they are in the EU, but it's still a completely different land that many VC's might not be remotely willing to touch. Consider that very few can even read the laws.

Czech startups would be limiting themselves to German and possibly Russian money in general, and it'd be harder to raise in the US.

JB is a great company that might be able to 'easily' raise money, but even then there could be 'red lines' for many firms that just make investing there impossible. For example, a firm may require they re-incorporate in London or Luxembourg or something, where there are far better established commercial laws.

I just picked up one of their new Idasen desks. It's a lot sturdier than their previous ones that I've seen.

I get minimal wobbling of the desk surface at full height, but my monitors do still wobble a bit. At normal desk height there's no wobble. I think most of the wobble comes from the cheaper VESA mount, if I'd gotten a more rigid one it would be better but I wanted more flexibility in arranging the monitors.

I think that's an interesting thought. I struggled with DP/DR for a couple years, and the alarming part was that I felt like I was just watching myself perform automatic actions without any need for conscious oversight (this is where my experience differed significantly from Bandersnatch - rather than feeling controlled by someone else, I was frightened by how I was just watching myself act.

It's interesting to connect this to ideas of confabulation in neuroscience/psychology to that of DP/DR. There's evidence that we may actively confabulate stories to explain what we're doing, even if we don't actually know. This is explained a bit here: https://thesituationist.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/the-situati.... Oliver Sack's writings explore the topic a bit too, where those with severe mental injury or impairment would create unrealistic stories to explain their bizarre actions.

So, I wondered if part of the DP/DR involved losing the ability to confabulate and create a narrative regarding why I was acting the way that I was. And, part of my recovery was trying to recover that 'delusion.'

Furthermore, the article 'Anxiety Changes Depersonalization and Derealization Symptoms in Vestibular Patients' has a couple relevant sections:

'It has been hypothesized that “depersonalization is a hard-wired vestigial response for dealing with extreme anxiety, combining a state of increased alertness with a profound inhibition of the emotional response system.” The proposed mechanism is that the medial prefrontal cortex inhibits the emotional processing of the amygdala and related structures in response to increased anxiety resulting in a dampening of sympathetic output and reduced emotional experiencing that leads to hypervigilance, attentional difficulties, and emptiness of the mind.'

This provides evidence that DP/DR involves lessened emotional response. Later, the article states:

'The role of the limbic system and the amygdala in particular is very important, since affective memory connections to past experience could be an important factor in making new perceptions feel familiar and real'

So, I wonder if DP/DR is partially caused by a lessened ability to create narrative/reasoning about control over one's actions (with the emotional hyporeactivity exacerbating the feeling of detachment from the environment). And, if you consider these often-faulty narratives to be a bit delusional, then maybe you could make that conclusion!

Depends on what you do.

For what I do, Ethernet is acceptable as long as the latency is below 1 ms. Here're some quick stats for what I consider good enough this specific usecase:

rtt min/avg/max/std-dev = 0.069/0.095/0.121/0.016 ms

Generally it is better to keep things simple and use existing stuff whenever possible.

If we are talking about very low latency (say below 30 us) you may need many other things first, like a good timesource.

Then indeed, when you start rolling your own stratum1 NTP servers, rolling your own protocols can be a sensible answer to the problem you have.

I wouldn't call disabling the Windows Update service as "setting an option" that it's later forgotten. It's more of a thing an inexperienced user does by mistake while messing around. Windows does things behind you back, like magically restore system files if you manage to delete them, and so on, in an effort to keep running. But of course, some people are like "I deleted those files on purpose, so stay the damn out of my lawn"

But I do get your point, and Windows is indeed lacking an option to fully disable updates, even if it does have an option to defer major updates by up to an year.
It seems like a lot of people have had problems, but just to provide a dissenting view, I have one and I really like mine. It has performed flawlessly and fits my needs well.
It seems premature to claim that it's "clear". It's only been a year. We're talking about the major providers, who can only be expected to move so fast, either to expand things or to fall apart. Neither the best nor the worst cases materialized.

I'd say it's sufficient to leave the burden of proof on those who demanded the change, to at least defend the notion that great improvements are coming. At the very least a risk occurred without any payoff. But it seems to me that there is still plenty of time for both the risks and rewards to materialize.

I prefer motorized, because it allows for fast and effortless changing between postures.

If the answer to either of the first two questions is yes, where would I go to learn the jargon? (I do know about google, I'm just hoping there's a good resource that has everything so I don't need to search individual terms).
My recent employment upgrade has been nice and I am in the market for a good watch as a result (no longer a junior so I can wear something nicer now). That said, I'm looking for something that is more useful than anything. I mean, heck, if I'm going to drop this much on what is essentially jewelry, I might as well get all the use out if it that I can. Can you point me to any good communities that may be of assistance? I've tried r/watches before, but reddit's search algo is just terrible.

Specifically, I'm looking for:

- Waterproof up to ~30m, more is fine.

- Complications of: Chronograph, Date, Tachymeter, Moon Phases (I surf when I have the time, so it's nice to know the tides and to wear the watch while surfing).

- Sapphire/hardened glass for scratch resistance.

- Bezel, as they are really cool.

- Quartz is fine, accuracy is really nice, though mechanical is ok.

- Standard 12 hour clock face, things like a Casio F-91W aren't the best ;)

- I'm a fairly large person, so I can withstand a large/bulky face on the arm, if that helps at all.

Thank you for any and all advice or recommendations, I appreciate it.

> It's genetically modified through artificial and natural selection in sense of naturally occuring mutations in response to environment change.

“Conventional” non-GM breeding these days includes methods that induce rapid change by exposure to radiation or chemical mutagens; both because of the randomness of the methods and the weaker regulatory environment, there is a lot less knowledge of what changed are induced outside of the targeted traits that are selected for with these.

So basically NVIDIA gets a monopoly on the ability to release non-GPL linux kernel modules so that Linux can have a better reputation among desktop users (which is only a small fraction of Linux use in the first place)?

I don't get it -- do they care more about what the users want, or about enforcing copyleft? If it's the latter, then they should be happy if those users who don't care about the GPL move to BSD. If it's the former then they should stop playing games and implement a fair policy for all non-GPL module authors.

The street view shows what I think would have been housing for people moderately high up the scale. I'm pretty sure that none of the initial residents would have washed the floors themselves... certainly upper half, right? So there's something in the selection view.

I don't know what happened to the buildings which housed the lower half. I know Berlin in 1900 was famous for having lots of awful newly-built tenement buildings, much lower standards than NYC or London at the same period. Maybe these were much less likely to be restored?

But I agree that selection isn't the whole story. Technology is some of it: heating was never cheap, but lighting was even more expensive, which is why old factories have huge windows. I think formality was another part, having a big formal room for guests was important for respectability, whereas today most housing is designed much more around its daily use... so things get subdivided to have more separate bedrooms.
Exactly, the analogy would be better the baker following you every time you step out and following everywhere and writting down every window you look, what you buy, how much you pay, taking your adress book and copying the phones of every one of your contacts on it an then call them saying "xx just got free bread!

Elite Law Firm’s All-White Partner Class Stirs Debate on Diversity
I've seen a tiny handful of developers juggle more than one file system at a time. They're that complicated. I'm familiar with most of the Btrfs developers and can't think of a single one who works on ZFS; the most active developers when asked about it quite a few years ago on the Btrfs development list said they were unfamiliar with ZFS and it wasn't used as a guide for Btrfs.

You can track developers through their git commits, and you'll see even when they change companies, they almost invariably keep working on the same filesystem they were before the move. Which is why the idea that Red Hat has no one working on Btrfs, means they want to see it go away is not what's going on at all. They have a lot of other developers already, who'd lose years becoming familiar with Btrfs (or ZFS for that matter). So you're going to see them build on what they already are familiar with, rather than moving laterally to a filesystem technology they're not familiar with.
It's terrifying to hear him mention self-driving cars as a use case for super low latencies. If a few milliseconds of network latency compromises some safety system in a car, that's bad. I'd be engineering a car for worst case scenarios, not for reliance on a fast network.
