Eh. I remember ME. It was the worst version of Windows at the time, but obviously predated Vista and 8. ME generated a lot of bad press, but it was mostly stability stuff that was quickly fixed. Vista was terrible and only ever got slightly less terrible before Windows 7 arrived. Windows 8 was so frustrating (from a usability standpoint) that I defected to Mac.

In any case, it's not meant to be an exhaustive list ...
I’d like to use this opportunity to remind everyone that extrinsic rewards and punishment (withdrawal of rewards is also punishment) kills intrinsic motivation and poisons the relationship destroying trust.

In other words if you want you child to stop enjoying an activity, encourage or reward the activity.

For more, and a ton of research, see the work of www.alfiekohn.com and more specifically Punished by Rewards.
Good MPN licenses have been abused for far too long; I worked for a company that didn't gave a flying fuck about MSFT was providing mostly networking/security services but since it had a large number of employees paying for a Gold Partner wasn't only valuable to draw in business because CIO/CTO's at the time liked to see the nifty Cisco/Microsoft/Nortel/W/ETel partner on your website but the yearly costs of attaining partnership was just a tiny fraction of what they would've paid for windows, server and CAL licenses.

It’s foolish to consider such marginal issues for woodland in countries like Ireland. Between modern agriculture and human settlement there is an extremely limited amount of space to maintain ecosystems, and the last thing you want to do is apply the same logic of high intensity agriculture to growing carbon over huge swathes of land. I would not take a 25% greater carbon impact and certainly not a 25% lower maintenance cost if the consequence is creating a green desert for wildlife.

This is one reason why we need to act now on the climate, the Paris deal only achieves its relatively gradual 2050 targets by assuming enormous carbon sequestration from the 2040’s onwards, which unless there is a breakthrough will require us to cover an absurdly large amount of land in these kind of dead plantations.

To halt the current mass extinction we’ll need to keep climate change within reasonable bounds, but also set aside enough land for ecosystems to be able to support themselves. The earlier we act, the less collateral damage we’ll be forced into to keep temperatures below reasonable levels. A few sensible policies on zero carbon heating or transportation now can mean the space to create national parks rather than massive dead plantations in 15 years.
64-bit x86 CPUs are defined to support SSE2 as a minimum, and all 64-bit operating systems use it by default.

For 32-bit systems, you still theoretically have to check, but I think every halfway modern compiler also uses SSE2 as the default target.
The problem with C++ is that template expansion doesn't do any validation of the parameters at all. It just keeps going until it generated as much code as possible and only afterwards does it report a large error on the nonsensical code it generated.
Jitsi Meet [0] is the simplest video conferencing solution that I have ever come across. To use it you go the website (or the mobile app) and that's it.

You have a free, private, end-to-end encrypted, efficient, multi-participant video chat which allows screen sharing and shared document editing. It works on every modern browser, you don't need to create an account, and you don't need to install an app (except maybe on mobile OS's). It's open-source and you can run your own server.

Good point, but what does that mean for the war against plastic gel bottles? From the article:

> Given the war against plastic, maybe there will be a reaction to all these bottles of handwash. The bar of soap might yet stage a resurgence.
I was unware there is only one type of proof or that it is not allowed to talk only about specific types of proof.
Sure. When it's done well. I once got on a plane with a folded tv antenna as my carry on (it was aluminum and I worried it would get bent if checked)

Sure it was wrapped in luggage plastic film. But it still was a meter long tv antenna. And I clearly asked at every step.

Another guy apparently accidentally went onto a plane with a loaded gun (https://abcnews.go.com/US/tsa-lets-loaded-guns-past-security...)

And don't get me started on the security guys pretending to check backpacks at big public places.

These forests are essentially tree farms. There is no bio diversity and no deciduous trees growing in from the side. The forest will be felled for wood long before a deciduous tree would have time to grow. It's a travesty. Come to Ireland and see for yourself.
Was he a rule or an exception?
I was going to make a joke about Ireland being too damp to suffer from forest fires, but apparently it's a growing problem: https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2019/0321/1037836-coillte-fi...

Although this does very much highlight that the forest is a cash crop first, not an environmental project: "The company lost 400 hectares of forest to wild fires in 2018 at a cost of €4m."

I've been using bar soap for a good few years now as it was the means of cleaning that I could most-easily buy locally that seemed to incur the least plastic impact. I like to imagine that the invested energy density and cost of transport is better too, compared to gels and liquids.

Regardless of all that worthiness though - I just prefer using the stuff and am gently delighted when I walk into my bathroom and minded of the smell of my grandmother's house, decades ago.

As the article implies, it comes with a certain fondness.

As a native Spanish-speaker I'm astonished to learn that phonics is not the only way to teach reading in English. It makes sense, since phonics are way more difficult to follow in English than in Spanish (written Spanish maps 1-to-1 to the phonetics)

- Key combo to switch between apps, another to switch between windows of the current app. Makes sense to me

- It is possible, although not easily as Windows 10

- Double-click on title bar and/or cmd-click on green traffic light

- You mean vertically? I'm pretty sure macOS only allows horizontal splitting, which feels limited I agree

- Agree to disagree. Windows losing their position when connecting/disconnecting displays on Win 10 infuriates me

- Agreed. Though there are a lot of apps that can replace the clock with a clock + calendar combo, some are free. On Win 10, I can't believe the calendar doesn't display week numbers, and I cannot replace that

I tried using a pre-paid card to buy something online a few years back: it didn't work, was specifically declined for being a pre-paid card (I don't recall what it was I was trying to purchase, but perhaps that may have some bearing on why it was declined if the reason was they don't want to sell certain things to potentially anonymous persons).

The society will not like your attitude; expect to experience continuous peer pressure. Nearly everyone is hard-coded with the unconditional "never give up", "hope dies last" and so on. The common arguments "might as well make the best out of it", together with the anti-suicidal "if you are going to die, sell everything and give your life another chance", I find annoying. All attempts require efforts. Sometimes you know in advance that a reward will not justify an effort, sometimes it's a giant gamble of many years and you decide not to take the risk. I don't want to put an unbearable burden onto myself only to end up regretting it in the end, where I will know that I inflicted the pain of all efforts and the pain of the final defeat with my own hands. When you know that you could've idled while being sufficiently content and happy with your "unsuccessful" level, but you succumbed to momentary inebriation of inspiration and drove yourself into a trap where you are not happy with your prospects, but you don't want to give up because you already invested much efforts. Because of their inexhaustible fountain of optimism people tend to ignore that efforts are unpleasant, and one cannot sign oneself up to a giant contract of work just because muh "might as well make the best out of it".
My point is that, if there's a specific reason why the code needs to be rewritten (i.e. code needs to be clearer, or more performant, or adhere to coding standards) then you can point out what's wrong with it with a simple explanation. If you just write the code "as it's meant to be" then the other person a) will not get why their code is being rejected and b) you'll be writing the code for them.

Code reviews are not coding exercises. You ought to be able to explain using human language primarily. The only only instances where I've actually written code in my comments was because I was reviewing Scala code written by a very old person who had worked 20+ years in Java and it was very very difficult to get some points across - and only after several tries where he didn't get what I meant.
Good god this is awful advice. There are plenty of people that have made their only great contributions to humanity in advanced age (not that late 30s is even remotely advanced). If you gave up on dreams, fine; but don't go on encouraging others to do the same just because you lack the drive and became complacent with giving up.

Moreover, there are so many things that need doing that are plenty impactful and just require discipline to do it frequently; that you never bothered to think of other ways to make an impact shouldn't mean you should dissuade others from finding out new ways to make an impact.

Lastly, there is precisely zero evidence that you get another shot at life so it's grossly irresponsible to push people into thinking that their dreams and their real life should be readjusted into some bullshit dichotomy of fantasy vs real life.

(I have heard people in their early 20s giving this same advice; Good god could you imagine the world if people stopped following their dreams so early in life)

(I was a C/D student in STEM subjects by the end of high school.

So much misinformation in this thread. Voltage, current, and resistance are physical properties entirely dependent on each other -- increasing one affects the value of others. That's like saying that the mass of bullets kills people, without any regard for velocity.

A 12 V car battery can kill you, if it has a low-resistance path that goes through your heart. Touching the terminals will do nothing. Maybe if you applied that voltage to conductive spikes inserted into specific points of the body, there would be some effect.

A voltage source, like a car battery, does not determine how much current passes through a circuit. That is determined by the circuit's resistance, and the source's upper limits (i.e. internal resistance for batteries, rated current for power supplies).

As voltage increases, so does current. High-voltage supplies will absolutely kill you, as long as they're able to supply the required current. Which, to harm a human heart, is quite low (tens to hundreds of milliamps). Aside from fringe sources like static electricity and tasers, most HV sources are entirely capable.

Thought experiment: if the Russians, Germans or Japanese had the nukes first, would they use them in the same way? I'd probably say Stalin and Hitler were more bloodthirsty than Roosevelt. Given the circumstances at the time, it was the best possible outcome.
AFAIK the light is controlled by the camera's firmware. So unless someone is able to hack that, the light will always turn on with the camera. That said, even Zuckerberg has sticky tape over his camera.
Success is surprisingly fun. However, allow me to make a distinction. For a lot of people instead of wishing to do something, they wish to have done something. So for example, they may say that they wish to make a lot of money, but actually they want to have made a lot of money. The idea in their head is lounging on the beach with cute waiting staff at their beck and call. However the thing they end up doing is working themselves to the bone making money. It's really important when you set goals for yourself that you understand the distinction. Personally, mostly avoid going after goals in the shape of "to have done something" and rather go after goals of "to do something". If I don't like studying Japanese, then I don't do it and I don't have a goal to have learned Japanese. If I don't like running I don't do it and I don't have a goal to have run a marathon. And if I don't like doing what it takes to make a lot of money, I don't have a goal to have made a lot of money. Those kinds of things are in our ability to choose.

The other strange thing that I found for myself (and I think it's different for different people) is that "goals to have done something" are just not satisfying for me. I get no pleasure from having achieved anything. I only get pleasure achieving things. I love being successful. I'm completely neutral about having been successful.

For me, being successful really truly brings me happiness. I therefore choose to do things where I will likely be successful in a sustainable way.

I seem to be missing something here. The comment is that this provides a way to show that the Riemann Hypothesis is false. And that statement is true - finding a single number n such that n>5040 and σ(n)/(n ln(ln (n))) is enough to show that the Riemann Hypothesis is false.

Checking this for a bunch of numbers and not finding one does not, of course, show that the RH is true, but that's not what this comment is stating.

The only way I can understand your comment is that you think the grandparent comment, the one to which you are replying, is asserting that we can use this result to prove the RH by computer search. The GP comment is not saying that.

So I don't understand what you're saying.

Let me summarise:

* If we can find n such that n>5040 and σ(n)/(n ln(ln (n))) then the RH is false;

* This gives a method by which Joe Random could, in theory, prove the RH false - that is, simply find and publish such a number;

* This does not give a way for Joe Random to prove that the RH is true, since searching for such a number and failing does not prove anything.

So, what are you saying?
I don't follow this line of argument? I already keep my investments in a UK tax-sheltered savings account invested in US securities, and my credit and debit cards work for buying things in dollars, but most of my spending is in GBP.

There is a massive drop in nodes at https://the-federation.info/pixelfed. Seems like a SPOF host deactivated their 50 something nodes?

Other than that I'm skeptical about this. If it doesn't host ads or any other money making scheme, how do you pay for servers to host some many pictures? Being image focused, I imagine the server gets expansive fast when your node becomes big. This might also explain the SPOF deactivating their node.
> most of who are teachers and all of who state that kids who have been taught outside of the standard educational system are always behind kids who were not.

Would you admit that your perspective then is heavily biased? I don't claim to be unbiased, but I myself come from a family of educators, and I chose a different direction (see also John Gatto). That is, I'm very unsurprised that traditional educators would think that homeschoolers are behind, but it's very not true.

> Just because it’s not a new idea it doesn’t mean it isn’t also total garbage.

Public school is total garbage, in my experience and opinion.

> Learning to read is not just about learning the shapes of spoken languages. Learning to read also teaches literacy and creative writing. It engages parts of the imagination that other forms of creative play do not. Plus it also teaches mental discipline as well.

I don't disagree. You say it as though my daughter has none of that, which I again find strange.

> The only things I chose to read were technical schematics and programming manuals for 70s and 80s computing hardware. That had a really significant impact on my writing skills; to the extent that I massively struggled to pass my English exams.

Right. Well you have a good lesson to share about that, then. And that's the same reason why I still guide what my daughter reads, and still encourage and recommend a variety of works.

> Successful people aren’t happy; happy people are successful.

In fact, many successful people with strong drive, very competitive etc. are deep down continuously unhappy. I mean, happy competitive person is a textbook oxymoron. At least that's how people I know with this trait are - always looking up to somebody faster, better, richer and not stopping and enjoying the moment.

I would refine this a bit; happy people define their success through internal metrics. Don't let other decide what success means to you.

Employers try to convince you that your success is correlated with what they want to do, but it is not the case. They are paying you to do your job and that's all.

Ads try to convince you that success depends on purchasing their stuff, but it is not the case. There is always more stuff to buy. In fact it might hinder your success if it puts you in debt or prevents you from becoming financially independent.

Parents often try to convince you that success depends on the agenda they created for you.

Fuck all of this. Success is what you decide it is.

If you like to write software, work on becoming a better developer. The market being as it is, the workplace success is then a side-effect.

Obviously all of this is a bit simplified but not being pushed around helps a lot for being happy I find.
