Isn't it the same thing, but simpler and more flexible? You write a message, and then you read a reply, rinse and repeat. Could you expand on such things that are complicated with TCP that HTTP helps with?
I think it was last year, after ordering a 2TB SSD, that I realized I've probably already bought the last mechanical hard drive of my life. I could go for one more round of 10TB's or something to max out my Drobo, but by the time those seem small, I do expect SSDs to have overtaken them.

"No way, Grandpa, magnets were never FREE!"

"Well, not free exactly, but we'd harvest them out of our discarded hard drives! Those were a sort of data storage machine, you've probably seen pictures."

"But when you removed the magnets, didn't that mean forfeiting the rare-earth-element deposit?"
Though I got an interesting response with the first part of your post as prompt (prompt in italics—to be clear, it stops after the closing quote on "If Timmy is"; the rest of that line is the beginning of the generated text):

My first test showed that it's surely not perfect. I admit, after all the hype, I expected my SOCKS to be blown off.

My prompt: "If Timmy is" — an all-male chat bot

The result:

What a terrible name for such an important task.

I started digging around the web looking for examples and found this hilarious Reddit thread. A guy named Timmy was asking a question that really made no sense:

"Is Timmy gay."

He's got so much potential, but he said nothing, which was very odd for a chatbot. After I had explained the concept of a conversation, Timmy seemed a bit confused. But eventually, without a reason (or an answer) he got down to the meat of the matter.

It turns out Timmy is actually a female voiceover (VO) who is supposed to speak to you while you write your email. All of our previous SOCKS tests showed that Timmy was a male chatbot, right? This was surprising, because I was using an SOCKS version called
Hard drives are very nearly dead for hot storage. I expect them to by wholly dead by the end of 2020 because the TCO of HDDs is going to outstrip that of SSDs because of the fundamentally lower reliability.
Yep, it is the same thing over again with a different underlying loan source. And why shouldn't it be. The people responsible for the 2008 crisis are mostly still in place. In fact, many of the people who survived were promoted to more prominent positions. In fact, some say the loans of 2008 are said to be "recovering" and it's "not so bad". This translates from the expectation that these loans would lose 90% of their value and they ended up only losing 75%.

His comments attracted the ire of Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway.

Trump's latest comments echo past remarks by former GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney in which he said, "I think the biggest, most important thing is to not allow ISIS to take over their home country and they're going to take over other parts of the world, especially Syria."

In the post, he went on to call for a "complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" until the country can be "safe for the safety of our people".

He also said of Muslim refugees seeking refuge in the USA: "I want to be clear about this: This whole thing is about Islamic radicalization. We're going after people who would rather die than come"

Support your assertion, please. The behaviour of ants is actually quite complex and has yet to be entirely modelled and characteriSed in full detail. In fact, it's still an area of active study.

That’s the crazy thing about 2008, when big banks were funding their operations with overnight loans from each other (and then lending to hedge funds at insane leverage ratios), all it took for a bank run to happen was to stop lending for a single day. It’s not like you needed a panic, just, “nope, not today.”

For what is worth <- is already taken by the placement in syntax, which has been pulled back but rustc needs to continue parsing it to avoid breaking existing code which used it behind cfg flags. It doesn't do anything but it has to be understood. It would be possible to resolve that problem, but it's another thing to be aware of.

Big fan of rook myself. We took several nodes loaded with 16 disk drives and used Rook to make a Ceph and Minio cluster out of it. Great storage solution.

I don't care. The speed of innovation will outpace IBM forever, at this point. I'm not going to leverage them in my lifetime, nor wold anyone else who is competent. There are lots of bottom feeders and IBMs spectacular age is legacy entrenchment, not a magic sauce.
The smallest scale at which we can operate profitably is probably in the 100,000 gallon/year range, although that could go down over time. We will make modular, mobile systems that don't have to be very big to be profitable. One shipping container will likely be able to do 100,000 gal/yr for example.

The electricity required will be approx. 60 kWh/gallon.

I accidentally middle-click paste into terminals all the time while scrolling. I would love to just disable middle-click paste in Linux. Juggling two different clipboards with different behavior is terrible. If it were a good idea, some other product not encumbered by history would have adopted it by now.
I wouldn't - because those idiots are going to be running around outside of the school after they've finished running around inside it.

Idiots are a problem wherever they are. If a good educational pedigree gives their idiocy a patina of respectable credibility, that's a social and political problem, not just an educational one.

If you want to waste money changing your oil more frequently than you actually need to, I'm not going to stop you. My point is that you don't need to change your oil that frequently.

Also, engine sludge is generally the result of contamination from water seepage or more commonly your oil not getting hot enough to burn off moisture (usually the result of too many short trips in the winter), so if you're changing oil to prevent sludge buildup you're just addressing the symptom and not the underlying problem or misuse.
Oh I agree that current rates are totally artificial, but it's silly to say that in a healthy economy, people just won't want to loan money.
Strawberries would be a worst-case for this design. The plants are low and spreading, and weeds tend to start under them and then pop up through -- so it's the tall plant that's bad and the short one that's not only wanted, but when the fruit are setting, very delicate. Little slanty robot wheels would make jam out of the berries.

Also, typically your rows of strawberries are long and separated by only a few inches, so the stakes, or croquet wickets they are selling wouldn't work. There wouldn't be room between the rows of wickets for the robot to move.
I have gone too far once or twice (out of hundreds....) where I felt bad about it. I've felt the same way about a major renovation once too though. It happens.

The key is in your last sentence: "wouldn't in retrospect have preferred to use that money for something else."

Unless I went and blew 50k on the game (which I fortunately never did and likely never will!), that's not even a question. Whatever money I'll spend on these, I -still- have to spend on something else. I only spend a tiny fraction of my disposable income. I (and many "whales") just have a LOT of disposable income. Very few people who go and blow 1500 bucks in a night on these actually empty their bank account (at least from my experience being part of a lot of gacha game communities. I obviously don't talk to all the whales).

I have a kind of "limit" I set myself, with zero expectations. When you blow enough money, statistically the odds of getting what you want are really high. I've gotten really unlucky at times, but usually I'll get what I was whaling for. And sometimes the game shuts down, and it's like, whatever, it happens.
> If everyone in the US and Europe dropped dead, that would be about a 24% decrease in global GHG emissions

That's not quite right. A lot of that pollution by China and Other is due to exports for US and European consumption. We just outsourced our pollution. So it depends on how one does the accounting.
Think I got it, your aim is going to be whatever gives you the overall highest specific energy of the outputs for a given combined cost of inputs, rather than any chasing purity of chemical, as they can all be used. That's presumably the rest of industry's problem and it is already setup for that.

Overspeed is the result of the mistrim

No, it wasn't. Overspeed was because the pilots basically firewalled the throttles and never once touched them. Look at the Lion Air flights, they never came close to those sorts of speeds.
I wouldn't mind seeing WPF, or a descendent, ported to other platforms. Xamarin Forms, Eto Forms, and a lot of other wrappers already do a lot of that though, if you want cross platform gui from .Net. (god that looks sloppy)

I also tend to agree that for good, or bad, that Electron will probably grow significantly as an application base. Like I see node becoming the defacto runtime for WebAssembly, I see Electron taking that place for WebAssembly + UI. And I don't think it's all that bad.

Even with MS, Electron seems to be their unified UI target for a lot of apps. VS Code, Teams, Azure SQL Studio (or whatever the name is now), and don't see that space shrinking. I'm only surprised that Teams doesn't have an official Linux version.
It hinges on the definition of "derived work" (anything outside derived work is outside copyright's effects, and the GPLv2 uses only copyright to give it effect). Their WSL2 Linux kernel will clearly be a derived work of the Linux kernel, so they obviously will provide full source code of that; the rest of Windows most probably won't.
Sweatshops and unsafe workplaces were also just people doing stuff, yet long ago they were considered such a problem that laws were passed to reign them in (against much resistance). I'm not really interested in returning to the status quo ante.
Last time I used WSL it wasn’t recommended to work with your local window files and my WSL work was an island from the rest of my machine.

No the economics does not work, if you include the "externalities" of that gallon of gas. You are continually creating waste heat and carbon emissions, while using naive reasoning based on Gas Buddy prices.

This is the "everything is complicated" view where you can find weird effects to support whatever you want if you look at enough different examples.

For example, when major employers are large inefficient bureaucracies with high margins, raising the minimum wage doesn't result in those entities laying off many if any workers, because they can just eat the cost and keep going as if nothing changed.

But when the employers are lean and operate in markets with high elasticity of demand, as in this case, it does directly result in unemployment. Because there is no way to pay more without charging more, but charging more reduces demand.

Notice that this is another way of saying that minimum wage has more negative impact on efficient companies than inefficient ones, which I take as another argument against it.
I agree. And again, if you spend serious cash, you can make your characters top tier. FEH has a vague PVP leaderboard so naturally those with the top tier units take the top tier slots on it. But if you’re not interested in invisible status seeking it’s pretty pointless
But the animals strip out the fiber/carbs and over time convert it into efficient stores of protein/fat.

I feel these games are less dangerous than gambling is. It seems to me gambling has a greater ability to suck money out of peoples pockets. It's also the case these games are doing nothing magic the gathering hasn't been doing for decades.

There is zero reason these games should not have 13+ restrictions however. Under 13 and you're too young to play these games. Don't care if this means there's a bit of a double standard.

I have noticed that ES6+ is a lot more functional, so there’s a lot more map/reduce stuff in modern Javascript. Although it’s definitely more succinct than the equivalent for loop implementations, I often find myself having to copy and paste it somewhere else and run it in stages to see what it’s doing whereas with the for loop variation, I could just step through the actual code as is with a debugger to make sense of it.
> I keep reading about people predicting SSDs are going to hit the same price/capacity as spinning disks

Flash doesn't actually have to reach the same price/capacity ratio to wipe out the small end of the HDD market. The performance and solid state nature of flash provide so much value that few will opt for a HDD when they can have a flash device, even if the flash device is smaller and a little more expensive. Also, at some point not having flash IOPS will become intolerable.

Large disks will survive while they have the price/capacity ratio advantage, but the small end of the HDD market is dead. And yes, I do believe this means that the price floor of HDD will climb as the number of lines building HDDs decreases.

Also, psychedelics make you face your inner demons. Perhaps not right away because the wonders of the experience can be captivating, for a while. But sooner or later they will. Many people I talked to tried something like LSD once or twice and while they enjoyed the fun part they didn't like what they've seen once the party was over and they were left alone with their own thoughts. This is where the benefits are but it's work and it's not easy.

Just imagine something like cannabis lounge where you could take mushrooms in safe setting and if you feel overwhelmed you could talk to a trained staff member. Not necessarily a psychologist, just someone who can guide you through the experience. I really believe it could unleash incredible well-being for the society.

But then who'd gobble up those anxiety or depression or ADHD or sleeping^` pills?

Nothing in the article suggests maintenance releases, but MS' history is probably enough for that. The article does definitely state that .Net 5 is the evolution of Core and will be the entire platform going forward. I'm, personally, glad to see Core/Framework/Mono etc rolled into a single version at 5. The previous split versions have been fairly confusing.
It is important to consider long-term effects. It is very easy to only look at the immediate survival of the baby or of the mother. Subsequent births are endangered by C section scars. Each scar is an area of uterus that is deficient in multiple ways.

The eagerness to perform a C section is taking away the choice to have a large family. Early on, I didn't even know I'd want to choose a large family. If the first birth had been a C section, then ones afterward would more likely be C sections also, and I would have never gotten the chance to have a dozen kids. You can't have a dozen kids with a uterus that is turned into mincemeat.

To allow for the possibility of having a large family, avoiding that first C section is important. All the interventions that increase the chances of it (epidural, induction, etc.) should thus also be avoided.
Distribution is uneven by topic. I went to two talks at LFNW this year. One was packed, no more chairs available. The other was much lighter, with only 10 or so people in the room. It all depends how general interest the topics are.

how much energy is spent pulling CO2 out of the air? I know this sounds like a step backward, but perhaps burning plant matter or recycled cardboard might be a more efficient source of CO2? If purifying smoke is cheaper (energy-wise), maybe you could let mother nature extract the CO2 through fast-growing plants, then dry and burn them?
This is actually one of the most succinct (ever so slightly hyperbolic) write-ups of the 2008 financial crisis I've seen.
The problem with sweatshops and unsafe workplaces is that the employees in question don't have the leverage to walk away from those jobs, since...they would just starve and die.

Again, this sounds like a welfare problem, because if we instead redistribute money to these folks (expand EITC and even remove the employment requirement), then they have the leverage necessary to negotiate better pay and better conditions. Such workers can walk away from unsafe working conditions without worrying about being able to feed themselves. Higher paid workers do this all the time, and this feeds into the market price for certain labor.

The extent of the drivers role in the team varies drastically. Sure, as Schumacher move on in his career this was true. When a team brings on an experienced driver to a young team this is probably very true, such as Kimi this year. But even Hamilton, with several championships, is probably only somewhat involved in decision making, not leading it. And younger guys like Le Clerc are probably not involved in team decisions beyond the tech setup of their own car in any meaningful way. That's not to say either of them is not capable of contributing in that way, but they are on teams with plenty of proven experience at all levels, so it's just not as necessary. Alonso was on a team that struggled for several years at McClaren with a lot of leadership turnover, so they would have probably benefited from that quality, although I don't really know whether their failings had anything to do with a weakness of Alonso's in that regard, but I generally got the impression he was not the personality to really get everyone motivated or inspired.

That's ... not helpful. I already profile and profiling indicates that allocations are slow and sweeps are fast.

Go's optimization for this is escape analysis which is a best-effort attempt to put things on the stack. Because the stack analysis is naive (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), it means lots of things are still allocated on the heap, and those are the allocations I'm referring to.

I don't really know what is going on on either sides, but since I have read on net about White's opening (for example, http://www.chessgames.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=318749 ) I think Black has more of a chance here since he can attack the first four moves.
