I'm pretty sure that KDE at least (no idea about gnome) has the same kind of tiling feature that recent Windows version have where dragging a window to the left/right/corners tiles it.

Before I discovered tiling window managers I used to use evilwm and later fvwm customized to work the same as evilwm. Both of those window managers had options to make windows snap to the screen edge or each others borders if moved within so many pixels of each other. Maybe something like that would work for you?
A perspective on how it was to be a Mormon wife (specifically, one of Brigham Young's wives) is available in a book "Wife no. 19" by Ann Eliza Young, self-described as "Brigham Young's apostate wife". Published in 1876, readable at [1].

It's been the focal point of quite a few spirited discussions between the Mormon members of my family and (non-Mormon) me.

That said, reading about Gawker conduct over the years, if somebody's grave deserved to be spit on, its theirs. They operated for years under the model "we can do anything we want and you don't have enough money to sue us". Until Thiel did.

Destroying Back Ends with Serverless – Introduction and Authentication
Try looking for "third thumb". A DIY project where a guy got input from a toe to control a motorized second "thumb" on a hand. AFAIK no one ever made a project of it ... but ones feet are a vastly under utilized resource and could be re purposed quite readily. Eg why not control a virtual twiddler? Or indeed a "hand prosthetic".
My comment wasn't so much on the biology, or whether other proteins could display 'prion-like' behavior; it was more so to clarify what I think is a misuse/misunderstanding of the word 'prion'. I say this as someone who perpetuated this misuse until a few months ago, after reading an article about 'prions' in the retina, and spent half the day trying to figure out what the prion protein was, only to discover there was a gene that encoded PRioN Protein (PRNP); that is, we have a specific protein called 'prion protein' PrP. So to ask whether something is a prion suggests a misconception, since that's like asking "is insulin a keratin?" or "is melanopsin an actin?", and the answer would be, of course not, since those are all names of different proteins. Now, asking whether some protein X has properties similar to PrP is a totally legit question (i.e. "is X prion-like?" = great question; "is X a prion" = probably a misconception).
I think the "big project" angle is that maintainability is of higher priority than for smaller project. So more minor things need to to be addressed than in smaller projects. And that then either leads to being very nitpicky in reviews (which costs both sides cycles), or polishing patches pretty liberally (which costs the submitter experience, but reduces the time required for both sides).

Good advice, as far as it goes:

>try something new for breakfast: a whole Florida Valencia orange ...

Usual way to do this is to slice into wedges and bite against the inside of the peel, leaving much of the pulp attached.

An easier, less wasteful way: Using a sharp, heavy knife, slice patches off both stem and blossom ends, down to the pulp. Halve along the equator and lay equator-side down on a cutting board. Now "shave" off patches of the peel with short downward strokes, rotating the orange half frequently to maintain an easy cutting angle.

Finish by cutting into bite-size pieces, and grab yourself a fork. Squeeze a fresh Key lime over the top, for extra flavor complexity.
I wouldn’t go that far. Being the sole developer you risk becoming an “expert beginner”. I know that held me back for over a decade, being the only developer for three years and working with two other developers who never worked at any other company for 9.

The fact that you’re talking about this instead of what you wanted to talk about should maybe be a clue that you should be more careful next time.
> Isn't one of the difficulties the inability to decide when the I/O error is transient (e.g. running out of space with thin provisioning) vs. permanent (e.g. drive eaten by a velociraptor)?

I don't really think so. The thin provisioning thing really is just a series of bugs in the kernel, because the thin provisioning code just didn't (and maybe doesn't), bubble up errors with enough information.

Even if errors are transient, at some point the decision to shut down the FS on a device with enough transient errors is a much better fix than throwing away data.

The movement isn’t the issue, they’re well secured. The problem is that the electrodes are slowly attacked by immune responses and over time the tissue around it becomes sclerotic, and the electrodes stop working. Various potential solutions are being explored, such as growing specialized neurons with extremely long axons to use as the final interface. It’s still an unsolved problem through.
Its unnecessary but those in the midst of this massive data collection effort have convinced themselves its hypercritical. Context and IP is available with zero tracking and from an advertising perspective, anything more is often superfluous.

Someone reading an auto site or watching a video, healthcare information, makeup guides or a million other things already provides nearly 99% of an advertisers profiling needs, and geolocation delivers finely grained control of delivery. No tracking and behavioral creepiness needed.

All the tracking betrays a certain unhealthy obsessiveness, a desire for control and second guessing and a false belief that knowing an individuals history, race, religion, sex, health data, political beliefs, purchasing history 'somehow' makes things more efficient. But this looks like pursuing an advertising chimera given it has never and will never be a 'neat' science and human behavior is complex. Why not just take the context and immediate interest, and show some basic respect for your fellow humans.

They could drop graphics support on Linux with no significant losses to their hpc/ml market.
Ah you're right, sorry!
Nvidia can sit on their property all they want, and lose market share in result, while other GPU makers have no problem making open upstream drivers. That actually benefits everyone but Nvidia ;)

In practice though, that's likely the least of their reasons not to open their driver. More probably, they just don't want to expose some embarrassing code mess or non compliant cheating in their graphics stack, as well as don't want to allow anyone decide how to use their GPUs without Nvidia dictating them. If they control accelerated driver - they can dictate and demand more money in some use cases from those who want a more permissive driver. All of that has very little to do with intellectual property and more with market manipulation.
I mentioned in another post that I've found that in practice emacs blocking isn't an issue for me. What I didn't say is that I did need to do some configuration to make that happen.

Mostly I just installed the async package and enabled all its features. I could have also sworn that I spent a lot of time configuring gnus so it wouldn't freeze my X session. Looking at my init.el though I don't see anything other than the standard gnus configuration. Maybe my tweaks got rolled into gnus as defaults at some point?

I'd argue in general that outside of python, there's not really much of a focus from google itself. They are largely leaving other language bindings to other people (see what's currently going on with tensorflow 2.0).

Their focus is more on the c bindings and allowing other people to build what they want on top of that.

Other language bindings aren't generally going to be used for anything more than inference. First class actual data science work isn't going to happen in other languages anytime soon (at least outside of julia and R which are at least trying to compete in this niche).

People who are committed to logical argumentation – and I've seen this point made often on HN – will say that the reduction in the quantity and formidability of new startups is an acceptable price to pay for improved user privacy.

It still leaves open the question of whether the GDPR is a reasonable and optimal way of achieving improved user privacy, but at least it's a logical argument.

The question of whether GDPR really is reducing startup formation and success is unclear at this stage, and it's possible it will never really be known.

This Bloomberg article [1] from November cites research suggesting that it is, but argues that it's probably not a bad thing.

I do find it interesting that so many songs from this period persist despite their age and relative obscurity in everyday life.

For example, with the exception of Mariah Carey's Indestructable #1 song, the holiday 100 [1] are predominantly from the 50s and 60s.

The title is totally wrong. If you read the article, or the study, what they are actually saying is that retention of older songs is longer. Their claim is that older songs are more memorable than newer ones because of the way they are written and executed.

" If you're not directly making profit off of me, I'm either a marketing expense in your acquisition process or you're using our relationship to derive profit elsewhere"

Or there's the 'conversion option'.

A freemium user at any given time has a probability of conversion, and that probability is an option on future cash-flows.

Surely, the probability is highest somewhere near the start of use, but not right at the start, as most users probably start with freemium anyhow.

With products like Dropbox which are in some cases 'shared' - there's a material network externalization as well, which is a probability that a freemium account will bring in others. This goes beyond referral/word of mouth to the extent that the product is naturally networked.

For this later reason - social media sites are almost always free because the economic potentiality of the network beyond 'you' is always considerably greater than 'just you'.

Also, as you hinted at in your Geico example, is that there economic realities to incumbency and market share. Once something becomes a market leader and the 'de-facto' option, then there can be incredible leverage, especially in networked situations. What is the current alternative to Facebook today? Not much.

Obviously the dynamic changes once market share is established but before that, there's an impetus keep prices down.

Venture Capital is keen on that to the point wherein one might consider that VC money is just really a form of 'economic dumping' , i.e. money getting thrown into markets to sell stuff below market value to obtain market share. It's illegal in some ways!

> So yes, you can run sway with the nvidia module loaded, just please unload it and test again before you report bugs.

If that were the language used in the issue tracker, then fine. It's sensible to request that users reproduce the bug with the proprietary driver blacklisted before reporting. But the attitude they're projecting is hostile and unconstructive. The bug tracker says:

> If you are using the nvidia proprietary driver for any reason, you have two choices:
>
> 1. Uninstall it and use nouveau instead
> 2. Use X11+i3 and close your browser tab
>
> If `lsmod | grep nvidia | wc -l` shows anything other than zero, your bug report is not welcome here.

Furthermore, sway's behavior is to check whether the proprietary driver is loaded and, if so, exit unless sway is started with the flag --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia. It's hostile, childish, and very off-putting to a potential user and contributor.
