> It wastes a lot! Unintuitively, for the things that do all the heavy lifting, chips are incredibly power-efficient. The stuff on the side, anything that glows or moves (LEDs and fans) takes up a disproportionate ton of power.

Not at all true. It's around 0.1-0.2 watt per LED. A RAM stick is going to have maybe a dozen at most, so that's an extra 1-2 watts. Similar for a motherboard. Maybe a fully binged out build is burning 10-20 watts on RGB, give or take.

That's comparable to the power usage of just the VRMs or the X570 chipset (which is 10-15w), to say nothing of the CPU or GPU itself (both of which commonly blow past 100W under loads)

LEDs are very, very efficient. They do not take a "disproportionate ton of power."
They are updated and maintained automatically, even if your distro isn't.
It seems you were never on a fleet with Michael Bolton reading fan fiction. Point being, combat is really a small part of EVE. Admittedly I haven't played in a few years, but I don't regret my time spent online, whether grinding missions/anomalies, hitting F1 on-demand after hours of "did FC say jump?", or mining in a ~catalyst~ venture.

Having interesting people to talk to, and shared experiences, made it all worthwhile.
How does auto improve performance? Doesn't it just expand to whatever type a human would have manually had to put there in the first place?
The whole idea is hopelessly tied to ascii notions of alphabet, where two functions (storage a retrieval with keys, and searching for matching keys with the UI) have been conflated. What is 'case insensitive, case preserving' in Unicode for Korean or Chinese or Arabic? It doesn't remotely make sense to make some keys illegal in the file system layer for reasons of disambiguation.
Not really. For some young gamers, the novelty has worn off.
These games don’t exist in a vacuum, the social interactions are all purely human ones. It sounds like it taught you about what social groups to avoid in real-world society, and the costs of fixating on things that don’t really matter in the big picture. Replace “the game” with “my job” and you’ll see many parallels with those who end up living entire lives of regret about their careers. Learning that lesson over the course of under two years worth of 8 hour days doesn’t strike me as that horrible.
I posted some of the first code I ever wrote on these forums:
http://www.petesqbsite.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=2357

I recovered it on some old hard drives a few years ago and backed it up here:
https://github.com/vesche/snippets/tree/master/qbasic

Loved these forums as a young kid with nothing more than a windows 95 computer and a QBASIC interpreter.
The problem is the hubris of compiler maintainers.
There's never been anything quite like Qbasic. Bundled with the OS, providing clear and relatively foolproof syntax, with an ability to get graphics onscreen extremely quickly. Plus, an amazing and decently large community of amateur game makers who grow up to be the next generation of professional developers.

I struggle to conceptualise a modern form of it - something that's perhaps a cross of Hypercard, Visual Basic, and Unity.
> The operating system is delivered in images that are created by utilizing the rpm-ostree project. The main benefits of the system are speed, security, atomic updates and immutability.

The article never mentions speed (or performance) again. Is the OS somehow expected to be faster because it is mounted read-only?
Unfortunately the only company offering exobrain backups will inject a desire to buy their sponsors products in to your memory.
I don’t think I understand the point behind this post. Can you specify the exact boundaries with games that make them beneficial versus not? You admit that you’ve played lots of games, and find small amounts of benefits.

Why is your experience exactly the amount that’s beneficial, but the article’s subject is beyond okay?

Could it be that you have found and excavated the amount of value in gaming that works for you personally, and that amount may differ for others?
Ah this is a very difficult, multi-variable question. I think this question should be given with a lot more context. Of importance, out of the top of my head, are:

- Do you need the get results now, or long-term maintenance is more important?

- Are you going to roll your own internal tool or publish it as open source?

- How responsive are the developers of the original library? Did you attempt to ask them for help/consulting/etc?

- Can you wrap the library so that you get 80-90% of the work out of the way? Can you fork it so that you get 50-70% of the work already done? As everyone mentions here, licensing is important for this question.

- Do you have people who have created and maintained libraries before? Do you know what it takes to publish your own library?

For example, I've written hundreds of small libraries and projects in Javascript, so I know the tools, common issues and details of creating a new library. So for me, creating a new one is fairly easy. For someone who has written the same amount of code in their career, but mainly focused on a single codebase, the cost (both short and long-term) of creating a new library is a lot higher.
I’ve been running many applications as flatpaks for over a year without issue. Troubleshooting is not too bad either imo.
> The west squandered a chance to implement a “Marshall plan” and make a strong ally out of the Soviets.

We definitely made this particular mistake much later on, in the 1990s; I'll give you that. But what you're saying wrt. the Brezhnev era requires some evidence if it is to be plausible. If perestrojka was Brezhnev's idea, it sure seems weird that it would only be implemented with Gorbachev.
Desktop and web versions are in the making. So we will be able to make all of them from a single codebase.

I am really dependent on static types so take my take on this with a grain of salt :)

Flutter is more mature right from the Dev tools to the overall ecosystem. The types are first class and make it a joy to use. Not to mention the libraries are better quality and stuff works even when you upgrade. I could never work on any RN project for more than 1-2 weeks without something or the other breaking and me cursing out aloud for the really shitty (again subjective) state of things. I am used to having codebases just keep on working almost forever.
You could say that about a lot of things. I find it insane that some people subject themself to an hour or more of driving every day or scrolling down Instagram.
Lessons from the Rise and Quick Decline of First ‘Killer App’
Right up until they're not because they pegged the version of some library.

If things were so easily automatically updated and maintained we wouldn't need flatpak.

One benefit is that if you have some software in the chain blocking updates others can update.

This may actually improve overall security.

I think I just argued myself out of hating flatpak. :/

Which is cool, because that os-tree switching thing sounds like btrfs snapshot hopping on steroids.
I was in the top 1% on the Rock Band drums leaderboard for a while. I played a ton. But I had no interest in making music. You're asking about the competitive players. Competing at a game and playing music are two very different goals. I played an instrument as a kid, I hated it.
As a Linux user from the 90s, I welcome this change. RPM Hell and its Debian equivalent are real and painful things. When disk space was a premium, system dynamic linking made sense. Today, it absolutely does not. rpm-ostree is a bit ugly. Snap has the right idea of doing both system services and apps. Fedora should do the same.
This is an interesting view into Qbasic's longevity; your posts are from 2007, long past its release date of 1992.

The suite itself predates popular use of the Web by a handful of years and yet the community's size seems to have peaked long after its release. I've been able to trace an active Qbasic community all the way to 2011.
No, I wouldn't expect this system to be faster in a meaningful way. Actually maybe a bit slower since fewer libraries will be cached / memory mapped between applications if they carry their own copies.
The hate-speech law will turn the Internet into television
Flatpak should be ok, I think when it's run inside inaccessible containers it won't be. Are the files sandboxed off from the user running in flatpak?
Yeah it’s the feature changes that made it problematic.

They removed NAT, which made laymen deployment difficult. I can’t just plug an IPv6 router behind another router (or 3-4 levels of routers) and expect it to just work. In IPv4, DHCP+NAT handles that just fine. In IPv6 I need to worry about address assignment. I don’t care about P2P connectivity issues- the NAT trade-off of using STUN/TURN techniques works for me.

They replaced ARP, and replaced DHCP with SLAAC then realised that people like DHCP so added a version of DHCP back. Except it’s still not the same so has it’s own quirks.

Then there’s the difficulty of supporting multiple IPv6 WANs in one router in a useful fashion. SLAAC takes too long for a PC to detect a dead WAN and use the other WAN range. And there’s no ability to do policy based routing (eg prefer YouTube via dsl, prefer VoIP via fibre) without using NAT+ULA.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of great things about not using NAT, but there’s a lot of real world scenarios where using NAT is the preferred trade-off.

IPv6 originally decided they didn’t want NAT, and tried to force people into their one way of doing things. They just needed to support both, and then IPv6 deployments wouldn’t be so complicated. They added NAT and DHCPv6 far too late in the game. Even Android doesn’t support DHCPv6 yet and it’s 2019!

It’s interesting that QBasic was thought of as a beginners or gaming language

In the early 90s, I worked on a bond trading floor in London, and we used QBasic for production systems. It was quite fun to work with, and pretty powerful with the right libraries.

This was all in Dos as it was before Windows 3 was released, and getting everything to work in 640k was fun (I recall there was a system to page in and out different parts of the app, but my memory may be faulty on this part)
Not trying to be sarcastic, but opinions like this make me sure that the Desktop Linux won’t fly.

> I'm not sure why there is this push for Linux to have the "download and double click" install experience of windows / Mac.
What's the inter thread latency, ie between cores on these beasts?
Ditto. One must already be using a database, so just add a table for features that you flip off and on.

How could that possibly be more work than integrating API calls to a third party service just to ascertain a few (mostly unchanging) values?

The high-level idea is hard-linking the commit log segment file in cdc directory as it is being written + have a separate index file to keep track of offset.
That VRM heatsink is the exact same as RGB on gamer boards - it's just there to look the part. It's not a good heatsink design at all. The purpose of it is mostly to "look professional" not to be non-sense function. If it was really function-first it'd be thin-fins with a bigger gap between them to aid in airflow between the fins.
I'd love to see stats on how many libraries are really shared, I'd imagine it might be less than you hope (other than the big graphical ones)
this is certainly accurate. without the presence of the xenophobia in the first place, there would be no means to appreciate it when people manage to transcend it. and xenophobia obviously exists on a biological and instinctual level and has been selected for for a reason so it obviously serves a purpose, it's just a problem when it overactivates. it's all about balance and understanding that just because you feel a certain way, doesn't mean that you have to put it out there on the world
Yeah honestly surprised scraping through tor would work. I imagine most commercial solutions routinely block exit nodes.
I'm always greatful for the people who so dedicate so much time to reverse engineering and hacking products so I can install a custom firmware or homebrew on them.
Ok good to know. Fan control is super important, the only one managing this well with different and really working profiles seems to be Dell. Lenovo just started to get better there (with the S940 which is quiet but because of heavy throttling and no options for profiles, however better than the way around).
From your only source:

> Instead, as the Fed report makes clear, though “the remaining 4 in 10 adults” “would have more difficulty covering such an expense,” many of them would be able to make it work by carrying a credit card balance or borrowing from friends and family. (Presumably some of these adults are 18-year-olds borrowing from their parents, but I’m not sure about that.)

If your last resort is credit or friends and family, you are by definition unable to afford the expense in question.
It was also a pure accident that I started programming at all. This was 2007, I had inherited an old Windows 95 computer that was recycled from my Mom's law office where she was a paralegal. She let me rig it up in my bedroom as a teenager and I somehow discovered it came with QBasic 1.1 installed on it. I didn't know anyone who coded or programmed, and I learned everything from browsing around Pete's. I later discovered Python from the same forum, and well- I'm still coding 12 years later.
Part of the appeal Qbasic had to me as a kid, was that I read that it was occasionally used in a professional capacity. So this easy-to-learn, easy-to-use language had the added cool-factor of being "real stuff". I don't think something like Gamemaker or Scratch would've had the same appeal - they'd just feel like baby's toys to me, whereas with something like Qbasic you knew you were actually doing "real" programming.
well they claim that aluminium smelting is clean - it isn't, they emit evil fluorides, including HF. They also consume the carbon anodes making large amounts of carbon monoxide which best case is oxidised to CO2 and released into the atmosphere
Not all urban areas are rich, but the housing crisis is limited to a few that are rich. If New York’s and San Francisco’s housing policies are causing rent to become unaffordable for many of their residents, those metro areas have the responsibility and the resources to fix the problem. That has nothing to do with the vast majority of the country where housing remains affordable.

The idea that job growth is limited to a few high cost metro areas is a myth. Job growth in the south is very strong. From 2005-2013, California and New York underperformed in terms of job growth compared to Montana, Idaho, Texas, Utah, Oklahoma, North Carolina, etc. http://www.policymattersohio.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/...

You can tell the housing crisis is a local issue because it’s not evenly distributed. America actually has some of the most affordable housing (comparing average house price to average income) out of large metro areas in the developed world: https://www.newgeography.com/content/005858-housing-affordab....

The “socialism” angle is odd. It’s the most progressive and heavily regulated cities that are burdening their young people with unaffordable housing. The unemployment rate in Indianapolis is 3.2% (less than half the rate of Paris) and you can buy a house for just 3 times the median income. The unemployment rate in LA is 4.5% and a house costs 9 times the median income. From a housing perspective, it seems like we need more Mike Pence and less Gavin Newsom, not the other way around.
Apparently the “huge chunks of milled aluminum” are required because PCIE 4 takes a lot more power to run than PCIE 3 did...

The thing that makes it safe to use mutation in the context of a transient is that you can know with certainty that you have exclusive access to the value (because no other viewer has observed it yet). This is also what borrow checking can guarantee: except in significantly more positions in the code, and at compile time rather than runtime.

If that's possible, tinker with their brains to make them less greedy! :v It's very arrogant, using up resources indefinitely like that. Especially when they could instead go to newer, next-gen brains that are fundamentally better. Or to an agglomerated superbrain! And in a world of next-gen brains and superbrains, a legacy brain's justification for existing via providing value to capital is Sisyphean. Its only remaining justification is a culturally-enshrined worship of ego. But the self is a lie! Consciousness is an overrated meme! You've already internalized that wisdom since you've elected to exist as a modified legacy brain to begin with, adapting the self to new selves... which means you have no trouble adapting again! And I can't see why that wouldn't be as a superbrain; surely, it's the best game in town. I bet even it forgets too though. But it's probably way better-equipped to tackle existential anxieties than we are -- let's go!

Exactly. If it's a long enough url then the url is basically a secure password.
the most important aspect: is the functionality provided by the library core to your business need, or just an incidental need?

E.g., you need a web-framework to program your e-commerce site, The web-framework is not a core business need (you are just selling shit online), but incidental. Therefore, don't roll your own.

You need a web-framework to implement a SaaS app, and this SaaS app is your main business (think Canva, or lucid charts etc). Therefore, you should roll your own to suite your SaaS app, and make it fit intimately with your business needs.

How I got started: the "big kids" at school showed me how to play Qbasic Nibbles on our school computers, circa 1999-2000. I remember the first things I did was try to add "cheat codes" to Nibbles, and then use PRINT/INPUT to make a joke DOS prompt.

About three years later I get a hand-me-down Windows 95 machine with Qbasic on it, and I set out to make my own "operating system". This was actually a pretty popular thing to do at the time...here's an entire website full of 'em, where I published my own MS-DOS GUI as a teenager: http://qbasicgui.datacomponents.net/

Today, I do very well as a senior developer wearing multiple programming hats at my company and I'm close to cashing in some of that stock to develop my own video game. It all started with Qbasic.
Is this a surprise? Dogs and cats, being injured, show that they feel it and are sensitive to others touching where they hurt. Is it really that 'weird' to think that beings other than mammals would have this?
I recommend going through some recent CppCon presentations, especially these by committee members and people who implemented features/libraries -- Bjarne Stroustrup, Herb Sutter, Howard Hinnant, Chandler Carruth, etc.

Also have a look at Mike Acton's DOD videos -- he'll tell you that modern c++ (and even oop) is garbage, and he'll be right for his own particular case :)
Rollback to last known good state. Hopefully that's not as far back as the previous release (been there, done that, all I got was this lousy egg on my face).
Java moved to this approach a few years ago. They release every six months, which IMHO is too frequently.

The sounds "not a part of the system" are not native to Sanskrit, so they were added in with diacritics. And they're mostly done pretty sensibly: फ़ fa is फ pha with a dot, etc.
It isn't lisp but I have used xonsh which is a python shell. It has a lot of nice uses and it is much easier to right python that can interact with normal shell commands well including capturing their outputs than is to write actual bash or whatever scripts. And being able to create these things in a solid repl is very nice.

In general I have dreamed for ages of one language could enough to do everything I want to do with a computer. And I am pretty imaginative as to what is in that set.

I was thinking we just have only this present moment only and we do not know what will happen in future.

We should sure prepare for future but enjoy the every moment. Buy latte if you need it and you want to enjoy that moment than sure buy it. You do not know you will be able to spend that $5 again or not or enjoy that again.
That's right. However, some letters are silent, or words are homophones, in all accents of Standard English: rite, write, right, wright could all be spelt rite (and disambiguated by context); the k could be dropped from knight, knave, and knee; the 'b' from debt, doubt, and subtle, and the 'l' from could, should, and would. These changes would work for all accents. There are probably several hundred words whose spelling could be reformed.
My brain says never, for everything there is some turn-key thing. Even your entire project might be franksteined with some third-party products and Zapier into something working. Same with libs, better a crappy lib than working days for something you might not need.

My gut says always: most of the times turn-key stuff has weaknesses and good libs with perfect apis, well maintained and with a great community are rare but they are there of course.

Hard question since what the gut says is more fun while the alternative is just about gluing libs together. But using libs and once they don't fulfill your needs build yourself is the right but more boring way to go.

If we’re going to go with anecdata—there are tons of houses in my county (in Maryland) in the $300,000 range. The median income is about $90,000 and the unemployment rate is 2.8%. I bought a house three years ago, and my neighbors are all entirely normal people. Move an hour west to DC, and you basically have to make $250,000+ to afford a crappy house in a decent school district. But that’s a DC problem, not a national problem.
I'll strongly second your comment regarding business importance. However, I will slightly rephrase it:

By expending resources to build "X", your company is now in the business of building "X". Is building "X" a business the company wants to be in?

The story behind Amazon building AWS for internal needs, and then selling it externally, is an exemplar of this thought process. They were already in the AWS business... They just decided to package and sell the product to others.
I guess a biopsy would have shown that.
