No mention of having fixed screen tearing in videos.

I'm a longtime Xubuntu user because it just gets out of my way and is rock solid, but the apparently unfixable screen tearing makes me weep.

Seemingly Manjaro XFCE edition[1] solves the screen tearing by using a different compositor[2].

This is really good information, though I marvel at your certainty that Hutchins was unintimidated. I suspect few have the constitution you suggest to stay a rational actor when facing years behind jail.

It sounds like a sentencing date has not been announced:
"According to a copy of Hutchins’ plea agreement, both charges each carry a maximum of up to five years in prison, and up to a $250,000 fine, and up to one year of supervised release. However, those charges are likely to be substantially tempered by federal sentencing guidelines, and may take into account time already served in detention. It remains unclear when he will be sentenced."

I recently suffered an occular migraine. My first and only (so far). Scariest moment of the decade for me. Thought I was going blind, thought I'd have to adjust to this new normal. Got myself to the ER just in time for it to clear out.

Eye issues terrify me and I'm not sure mental state could handle a retinal stroke. That sounds truly horrible.
Wow. I mean, I like a lot of punk and hardcore, too. I was never a huge Rollins fan in that I idolized the guy or anyhing, but I was never NOT a fan. I mean how can you not respect the guy?

I've always thought that there should be a law which applies only to the wealthy or powerful. They should be required to submit to complete monitoring - every conversation, every interaction of any sort. That should simply be one of the requirements for having power and influence.

Instead, we live in a world where we allow employers to extensively monitor their employees.

Particularly with newer games, this is absolutely true. There are a fair number of recent interactive fiction games that are leaning pretty heavily on the "fiction" part and, contra to the poster you're replying to, aren't necessarily focused on stumping you with puzzles. That's not to say that there aren't puzzle elements in almost all IF games, but increasingly, the language matters -- and sometimes it's woven into what puzzles there are.

It's not black and white as you present. Media has limited bandwidth, people have limited attention span, voters have limited things they can care about deeply, etc.

The absolute part doesn't change - bad actions are bad. But you can definitely divert attention from some things to others by feeding the right facts at the right time. So if you publish something with a specific intention/framing then it can definitely be held against you, irrelevant of the content itself.

Also, "be" is not necessarily a state of passivity. It can be an active process of determining what your goals and life-quality factors, and of carving out space in the world for them. That your self can be an ideal, rather than a default.

That's social vs economic left for you. Being socially liberal is logical, gays are also your customers. It's a different story when it comes to economics.

300K orders a month is approximately 10K orders a day, or 400 transactions per hour. Of course, you'd get more at peak times, but that still seems like it could be handled on a single server. You might want to have two servers for increased availability (e.g., servers in different regions, in case there's an outage), but having 10-20 servers means that each of your servers will be idle almost 100% of the time.

If your business has strange order patterns, e.g., 90% of the orders arrive the week before Christmas, then the analysis would be different.

So the other thread got quite derailed regarding the concept of sovereignty and was somewhat lacking in empathy for a startup founder now facing the death penalty.

That and the sometimes cringeworthy libertarianism aside, the business concept is quite interesting.

This couple planned to manufacture these homes in Thailand for about $20k each. They can then be towed out somewhere and raised.

While not in this video there's a unique team of Western volunteers and local manufacturers behind this.

Also interesting was their concept of building an artificial reef under the seastead, this is a simple but slow process, yet would help ameliorate depreciation of the home. Could easily imagine large movable artificial reefs to be quite valuable resources for anyone living at Sea.
Yes, yes. My point is that people create throwaways in order to knowingly post low-quality (toxic or otherwise) replies without having the downvotes affect their main accounts. If they thought their comment was going to make a positive contribution, they'd use their main account. So if they disvalue their own post, I'm certainly not going to value it.

I don't know if there was only one tour or multiples, but I do remember going to see the display in Little Rock. This was 1995 or 1996.

The display was interesting. There was the hardware mixed with some very fanciful paintings of cosmonauts by a Russian artist. The paintings were in a flat style, almost like Orthodox icons, and featured several scenes of cosmonauts with halos descending from heaven like angels into villages where the peasants were awestruck.

If this description reminds anyone of the artist, please let me know. These paintings have haunted my memories for the past 20+ years but I cannot find the artist. Even asked in groups and subreddits specializing in imaginary astronaut / cosmonaut art but no one's ever seen it nor knows the artist.

Review on the Services of XAP Credit Solution
Hello, I’m Rhys Griffin from Detroit, and I’ve been smiling and giggling all day after seeing my credit report. For 2 years now I’ve tried everything within my means to fix my credit that got bad after I quit my retail job. To tell the truth, life has never been good since I discovered I had 4 negative items and 3 inquires in my report. This really deprived me of opportunity of securing a home. All loan applications were declined because of low credit but there was a complete turn around after consulting XAP CREDIT SOLUTION. A friend who knew my predicament read about them on Trulia and told me. They restored my hope and purchasing power. I’ll remain grateful to them for their excellent work. Write them on XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM or (972) 597 9704 and ask for help. Surprisingly their fees aren’t steep.
You can still be the product even if you are paying for it. Take smart TVs for example that monetize their customers post purchase.

I tend to agree with the conclusion in the article that the Turing test wasn't really meant as a blueprint for general AI or whatever other (later) concept we're now familiar with but rather just a though experiment on whether it would even be possible to attribute intelligence to a computer. Or perhaps whether it would be possible not to attribute intelligence to it.
>A spokeswoman for the company says that “a leading global publisher” released the report as a book, fooling Scribd’s systems into thinking the report was owned by the publisher

Seems like the problem here is ContentID systems where large corporations are assumed to be owners of whatever they published, even if they published it later. The sad thing is that this is done by the platform and not through the legal system, so the companies making false claims don't get punished for it.

Absolutely not, if you think bread going stale is relevant to the expiration date. (Which it isn't.)

> planned obsolescence

It amazes me that people keep using this term -- which was associated with washing machines in the 1940's -- to rant about buggy software and engineering improvements.

Stop perpetuating the myth. There is zero truth to it. (And before you say it: Slowing down older phones to account for battery decay and balance battery life is intentional and it PROLONGS the device ... exactly the opposite of planned obsolecense).

Apple does NOT plan to make your devices obsolete. I use an Ipod Mini from 2004 when I work out at the gym. It is 15 years old and works FINE. My iPhone 7 crashes weekly. Prior to that I used an iPhone 4 for six years until I kicked it down a storm drain. (Long story.)

> software bloat

OK. Two. This is due to technoculture determining how technology can be used. New features are added before old features are optimized, and software bloats and breaks. This is a result of pushing the boundaries of tech. Some features will survive the evolution, some will not. But it is not intentional, it is a side effect of insanely rapid development and productization due to customer demand.

No one has a gun to your head making you buy they latest tech. As long as people demand the latest and greatest, the industry will rush to provide. This is a consequence of accelerated innovation.
> California's "sanctuary state" law is a formal rejection of federal sovereignty over immigration.

It is not, since they do not attempt to prevent the federal government from enforcing federal immigration laws in California. They refuse to assist such enforcement in any way - but that is a right that was always implicit in the federal structure of the government, and was made explicit by the courts in Printz v. United States (ironically, it was a 5-4 case split along ideological lines, with the liberal minority arguing in favor of the federal government able to commandeer state law enforcement).

If you want to see an example of actual formal rejection of federal sovereignty, that would be something like the Kansas' Second Amendment Protection Act, which explicitly declares:

"It is unlawful for any official, agent or employee of the government of the United States, or employee of a corporation providing services to the government of the United States to enforce or attempt to enforce any act, law, treaty, order, rule or regulation of the government of the United States upon a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is owned or manufactured commercially or privately in the state of Kansas and that remains within the borders of Kansas."

A historical example would be the states' resistance to the fugitive slave laws. For example, here's Pennsylvania specifically targeting slave hunters in 1826:

"If any person or persons shall, from and after the passing of this act, by force and violence, take and carry away, or cause to be taken or carried away, and shall, by fraud or false pretense, seduce, or cause to be seduced, or shall attempt so to take, carry away or seduce, any negro or mulatto, from any part or parts of this commonwealth, to any other place or places whatsoever, out of this commonwealth, with a design and intention of selling and disposing of, or of causing to be sold, or of keeping and detaining, or of causing to be kept and detained, such negro or mulatto, as a slave or servant for life, or for any term whatsoever, every such person or persons, his or their aiders or abettors, shall on conviction thereof, in any court of this commonwealth having competent jurisdiction, be deemed guilty of a felony."

That part of the law was stuck down as unconstitutional. But the very same SCOTUS decision - Prigg v. Pennsylvania - also mentioned that the state could ban its officials and law enforcement from assisting in any way, and that's exactly what Pennsylvania did afterwards.
How is this different from the millet system?
“Become the person you want to be” might better capture the sentiment we tend to express with advice like this.

This happened to me.

The void feeling is Depression. Youtube distracts from it, but reliance on distractors is only a symptom.

There are many kinds of depression, distinguished first and foremost by what treatment works on each.

That is the reason that "gold standard" double-blind trials fail to find that anti-depressants work. Imagine if you couldn't distinguish a broken arm from a broken leg, a broken humerus from a broken ankle. Trials of a cast on the left lower leg help only a few people, on the right only a few; left upper arm, right forearm, yada yada. "Casts are ineffective!"

Take the wrong meds, nothing happens. Take the right one, miracle!

There is no shame in medicating a problem: "If you can't make enough of your own serotonin, store-bought is fine."

It is entirely possible that losing 50 pounds, or exercising devotedly, or dropping carbohydrates and alcohol from your diet would also fix it. Medicate first, and then see if those help. There is no end of benefits to these other measures, but you need to get your brain working right first, or you set yourself up to fail.

In my case I was fixed up only two days after getting a sufficient dose of the right thing. A smaller dose had no effect, and other meds had no effect. Some kinds take weeks to build up before anything happens. I had five serious side effects (dry mouth, jaw clenching, ears ringing, dizzy spells, one more I don't recall) that passed after a few months.

You can get past this, with help. Get help!

> For example, California's "sanctuary state" law is a formal rejection of federal sovereignty over immigration.

No, it is not; it is a (Constitutional, per cases dating back to the federal fugitive slave laws) refusal to expend State resources assisting federal enforcement of federal law. Leaving enforcement of federal laws to the feds is not rejecting federal authority or sovereignty.
Hey! I just did/am doing an AMA on dev.to (located here: https://dev.to/joelgriffith/i-m-the-creator-of-browserless-i...).

I run a one-person (me!), bootstrapped business called browserless (https://browserless.io). I started it after trying to wrangle headless Chrome for a wishlist app, and desperately needing something like it. Obviously it wasn't around, so I pivoted and built it from the ground up.

I'm not saying he was confident about the whole process. I'm saying that he was certainly informed as to how federal charges group in sentencing.

In federal sentencing, in general, and in particular with these charges, "like" counts group. In effect, you serve the time for the "worst" charge you're convicted of. You do not add the sentences for all the counts together to determine a sentencing.

As the article says, and as you'll find if you read the plea agreement and then consult the chart in the federal sentencing guidelines, he's not facing anything close to 5 years.
