Depends on your goals! If you are defending a network, increasing the cost of attack is something we actively try to optimize for. It costs me next to nothing to hold a socket open and send a keep alive every 15 seconds or so, in addition to the extra threat intel from the initial connection.

You might have a point, and maybe i should try to turn these subjective feelings into harder metrics in terms of cost, but we have figured at this point it has a net good. If we slow the scanning down by a magnitude, in my opinion its a good thing!
This seems like it may return the previous amount of stigma, and maybe increase the stigma, to seeking mental health treatment.

If this is just administrative, the potential for abuse is also significant.

Previous science, as the article states, hasn't shown a huge link between mental illness and mass shooting. This could also be viewed as a giant waste of taxpayer dollars.
Yes, this is more or less what RFC 1178 recommends:

It really depends. In the 30s and 40s, many scifi [comic books] were largely based on well defined and plausible rocket theory. Hollywood though...

I guess the distinction between scientific hypotheses and scifi that extends beyond well understood science is that you have to have scientifically rigorous reasons to think the hypothesis might be true. So not mere notions, e.g. there is no cold fusion reaction hypothesis anymore.
Git, like the Linux kernel, is essential, basic infrastructure that everybody uses and that needs to remain reliable. It's not a volunteer training project for dilettantes and neophytes. Gatekeeping is a deliberate part of how these projects are run and the results speak for themselves.
Of course excess CO2 is greater problem than lack of oxygen but these things are in 1 to 1 correlation - you need oxygen to burn carbon. The more you burn carbon the more oxygen you join from the environment. To get the same oxygen back you need to breakup all the carbon you burnt.

If you destroy the forest then you will reduce the capacity to remove the CO2 from the atmosphere and produce oxygen or do you disagree with this?
I do as well. If you're on Mac, you should still totally look into Emacs, it's great. Heck, if you're on Windows you should still at least think about Emacs.

Emacs overall works slightly better on Linux, because it's primarily optimized for that system. One big area where you'll notice that is if you start embedding X windows into buffers. EXWM is definitely not something I'd try to set up on Mac.

If you're not trying to do stuff like that, then Emacs on Mac is fine. I use a Mac at work and Emacs is a big productivity boost.
> A bunch of people are coming away from reading that article believing that forests have no impact on global carbon sequestration and oxygen production.

If you were really concerned about people misunderstanding the article, you would not make up claims and attribute them to the author. Instead you would quote the relevant parts of the article to demonstrate what is actually being said.

The author in no way claims that the Amazon is in equilibrium, (probably because as one of the foremost global experts on rainforest carbon cycles, he knows it isn't.)

Edit:

The claims are quite specific:

1) The amazon provides ~9% of the global O2 production.

2) The amazon consumes most of the O2 it produces through tree metabolism and wood decomposition.

3) There is way, way more O2 in the atmosphere than CO2 so the effects all human activity (or ecosystems) on global O2 levels are miniscule compared to their effect on global CO2 levels.

Burning down the entire amazon rainforest would be a bad for a number of reasons (release of CO2, changes in global weather patterns, loss of bio-diversity, etc), but impact on global atmospheric O2 levels is NOT one of those reasons.

Fear mongering about a non-issue with made up facts only serves to provide ammunition to anti-science skeptics.
Yes it was fun to do, though disappointing in the end. To help throttle attacks and give the right historical ambiance I limited output to 30 characters per second... just like I first played the Fortran 77 version of C&W Adventure on a Texas Instruments Silent 700 with acoustic coupler.
This isn't capitalism you're seeing at work. It's literally caused by market manipulation by a central bank - and central bankers are central planners!

There was a good article in the Telegraph the other day by someone who used to work for the EU Commission on monetary policy back in the 90s, until he was fired for writing a book arguing that the ERM was terrible :) It argued that central banks are putting the world on a conveyer belt to communism.

The argument ran like this. Because they believe their mandate is to create spending ("growth") at any cost, any form of savings - even low risk investments - is an enemy to their goal and must be suppressed. So they print money to buy up all the low risk investments, to force investors into higher risk investments. That creates bigger bubbles and to try and push back or shrink the resulting recessions they must keep pushing spending levels ever higher, so they buy more and more assets people are using to try and store value. The terminal state is one in which central banks own most of the economy, which is communism.

Of course Git has its own developers, just as the Linux kernel does. There's no moral, technical, legal, or organizational obligation for the maintainers of any open source project to accept or solicit changes from randos.
It was at the time British land. The British got it from the Turks as part of the peace agreements at the end of World War I. The Turks had it for a few hundred years before that.

It's changed hands a lot. I guess that's not surprising given the location. Anyone building an empire in much of Europe, Asia, Egypt, Persia, and the like at some point would be passing by Palestine on the way to some juicy target--might as well grab Palestine on the way.
They're in the middle of that process.

Those companies, and Google and Facebook themselves were all miniscule compare to what Google and Facebook are now. Once you get that big, no scrappy startup is going to take you down. It would take dozens of smaller companies chipping away for years or decades. And plenty of times they would just get purchased by the big huys. Just Like what happened with IBM, and even then IBM is both still around, very big, and very entrenched within some areas of industry and Enterprise. And generally not because they out compete with better products.
Slightly better. The text promises "allow it to morph into 3D shapes", whereas the gifs only show fairly trivial 2D morphing. What one would imagine is "take a sheet of paper and turn it into a 3D flower", but what we get is "take a sheet of paper and turn it into a deformed grid".

>Household consumption is around 52% of their GDP. For the US it's closer to 67-68%.

Wonder how much of that is healthcare and education which is wayyy expensive in US.
Looks like they did.
The question isn’t whether the compromises are bad but whether 2 or 3 different programs with the same budget as this single program would have done better. That’s possible but not at all as clear as “the F-35 is expensive and technically a compromise between too many different goals”.
There's a proposed patch in the bug tracker: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/1611#note_10740636...

Maybe you can give it a try.
There’s usually an on-site account manager who hooks up the team in the US with either an offshore team or Indian coders that work for the contracting company who are already in the US.

The interviews are a scam. You interview a person who seems decent but someone else will show up in their place. I had one interview where the person obviously wasn’t the one coding. He couldn’t actually describe what his code does. :)

Typically management in these companies aren’t technical folks, and they have no idea what to look for.
It's at the bottom in the 'see also' section.
It's very difficult to prevent fingerprinting. Google's had the Android advertising ID for ages (which is a unique user resettable identifier) but it's entirely possible to ignore it. I'm not sure if Admob does allow you to set your own custom IDs with your own fingerprinting, but preventing that would go a long way.
Naming standards are the ultimate bikeshedding event. Everyone has an opinion and camps develop for various schemes.

The last time this happened, I happened to be in a position of influence for the final decision for naming standards. We took an approach designed to piss off everyone... license plates. We used sequential numbers prepended by a pronounceable string, and random words, selected by a system, for internal services.

Overall, everyone is pretty happy with it. YMMV.
Time to video start is a bandwidth thing. Latency is the time it takes a packet to do a round trip. Typical 4G latency in the US is about 50mS and 5G is not yet faster because it’s still heavily reliant on the 4G infrastructure. It is expected to drop to 1mS as the rollout continues. This will have a significant impact on interactive content.

I think you’re conflating a few things though.

1) 5G spec improvements which do exist and are measurable today
2) your perceived value of those improvements
3) the FCC mandates in the US, which is currently being challenged

You might not want the improvements. Others may. The real issue, IMHO, is the FCC mandates. Although the challenge has a risk for technology too. If the courts agree that there is a possible health risk to RF I have no idea what kind of pandora’s box that opens.

Car companies develop platforms on which they build many different models. For example in VW cars you can find exactly the same parts in Golf, Touran, Passat, Tiguan and many other models.

All these 3 separate plains probably could share 90% of parts, software, avionics, that VR helmet, etc. Having fewer constraints it would also simplify the plane body design.

Just image car engineers are asked to design one car to replace off-road, city and van cars. Even Elon Musk did not come up with that idea.

Monetary problems tend to prompt populism. That comes with its standard variants of nationalism, fascism and racism. Harsher customs are the least of our concerns from this side of the Atlantic.
Yeah, I remember some green threads libraries based on longjmp/setjmp.
> Extremely high-performance database code is not what most of us are doing, however.

That's true. But look at the overall coding style in that file:

Code is structured into cohesive blocks, which are prefixed by a comment which explains in english language the intention, pitfalls, limitations of the following code.

I find this quite elegant and readable. An ideal to aspire to.

I am not advocating nonsensical JavaDoc:

// Get's foo from bar
private Foo get_foo(Bar bar);

If you are able to just use names and types to document your intentions, pitfalls etc ... then by all means, do just this.
E.g.

for( person in address_book ) {
body = template.render( name => person.name, ... )
mail = Mail.new(person.email, body)
mailgun.queue(mail)
}

However, if stuff get's more nuanced don't be afraid to use english language to explain what you are doing.

Yes, I've seen other instances of Microsoft/GitHub making substantial Git contributions: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/supercharging-the-git-...

The problem is when an app finds a bullshit excuse to refuse to work unless they're provided all wanted permissions. even if they don't hard block their content that way, in practice, people are just going to flip the switch that makes the app work or make a dialog go away without reading.

I just don't think pushing the choice of permissions to the end user is a good idea, not by itself. UX teaches us that people are lazy and will go through the easiest path.
Is there anyone using this hardware for VHS or Beta captures? Seems the original project itself is very targeted, and I'm having difficulty searching up different uses of the project. I'd considering purchasing one to do high quality VHS transfer, but I'd want a community I could turn to with problems.
The argument for omnivorianism that I find unassailable is that plowing which is required for annuals is actually worse for the environment than ruminant emissions. While utilizing perenials will require ruminants for a truly holistic agriculture that cycles all nutrients efficiently. So a Perennial plant base agriculture with ruminants to hlelp cycle nutrients is the best ag option available, so eating a few a of the ruminants as they age out of the cohort makes sense, and would be wasteful not to do so.
Does this help?

A lot of the time, understanding someones solution is harder than just solving it myself.

If it's a complicated problem that can be boiled down to a simple API, I'll reach for it for sure. But I never have good luck with complicated problems wrapped in a complicated API. Usually I only need to solve 5% of the problem, so I'll either find a library that focuses on that 5%, or I'll code it myself.
It's never clear what you are really arguing for. Why argue A>B and B>C if all you are trying to say is that A>C?

Solar with long-term chemical energy storage should play a huge role, but I think it is too soon to say if one will push out the other or if fission will stage a resurgence. A lot depends on incentives to phase out fossil fuels. If natural gas produced electricity remains the cheapest option the development of all energy alternatives will be effected.

If you are arguing that fusion will never compete economically with natural gas, you may be right in the short-term but in that case there may not be a long-term.
I work at one of those rare manufacturing companies here in the bay area(pay isn't anywhere close to what FAANG median is).We tend to use Excel for everything from manufacturing quality Pareto charts, SPC charts and its a Big mess.All I hear from Big tech enterprise tech is IoT and datalakes but no immediate solution that aggregates all this data in manner that can be consumed by various LOB Apps that can do things with the data. So I am in the process of building one right now. But You are right. FAANG along with every other unicorn is running after the NBT, wherein there is so much more to automate in well established Non-big tech(Dino tech) like P&G case below.
Someone provided a link showing there are not just high end and low end leathers, but roughly 5 categories. The problem is the price for good leather clothes is astronomical, especially with the very low price of the materials, while the quality of low end is terrible and the middle of the market is completely missing.
Well, there's this from Abdou (2016) at UCLA (which seems to be the center in the US for the engineering side of fusion):

"MTBF for Blanket/FW/PFC in any DT fusion device is estimated top be very short while MTTR is predicted to be too long -- leading to very low availability of only a few percent"

Another crap Forbes contributor article. The fix is to ban these posts. These articles have basically zero credibility because they are written by ordinary dopes who pay to have their blogs published on forbes.com. There is no fact checking, no verification of the author’s background and expertise, nothing. You pay and get published and people get the impression it’s “news” because of the Forbes name.
I read "fantastically car-hostile" as a pro car-hostility statement.
Absolutely. The techniques depend upon the circumstances and that's often not recognized. Or at least there's over-rotation in one direction or the other to a degree that may not be appropriate.
When I read "Ha ha Wall" and saw the picture, I instantly assumed that it meant the people on the "safe" side of the wall could tease/taunt the people on the "difficult" side of the wall - like Nelson in the Simpsons, "Ha ha!"

Guess I was wrong. Maybe less than 100% convinced I'm wrong, but I probably just fell in love with my own explanation & I'm unwilling to fully concede.
Having few reasons to use a pencil or pen since leaving high school, a decade and change later I still have a callus on my right middle finger, but using a writing implement is uncomfortable.

With computer keyboards and touchscreen smartphones used for the majority of written communication, I wonder if penmanship is worse now than at any time in human history. If cursive is still taught, it's probably not for much longer.

During the SATs, we had to write in cursive some statement that we did not receive outside help. Everyone joked afterwards about how tedious it was and how we overflowed the space in which to write because we weren't practiced at making tight loops.
It's more like "for the euro to work, Germany must spend more"

The Euro isn't sensible from an optimal currency perspective. In a good currency union, labour will be extremely mobile. But though labour can move freely in Europe, people tend to prefer their home country. Contrast to the US where people move much more readily and follow jobs.

So monetary policy has been too tight in areas like Greece that would have simply devalued their currencies in the past. Meanwhile policy seems to be too loose for Germany.

If you want to keep the monetary union, you can't crush Greece and other southern countries. So the Euro must devalue a bit to help them. But this cuts interest rates in Germany, discouraging spending.

Hence "Germany must spend more". It's more of a mechanical statement than a moral one.

Also spending could be using capital to buy a business abroad or infrastructure or somesuch, I think. Needn't necessarily be consumer goods.

To counter your anecdata with some anecdata of my own, my savings rate right now is around 48%, as in: I spend 52% of my income. I'm currently implementing some lifestyle changes that are going to push the savings rate over 50%.

I'm not trying to deliberately pinch pennies. (Well, maybe a little.) I just happen to live in a way that avoids big spending. I don't have kids, so I don't need to spend money on that. Because I don't have kids, I don't need a large house. Therefore I live in an apartment in the city center, which (besides being convenient) means I don't need a car. And so on.

> the majority burn their salary month per month

I obviously don't know your sample, but out of the people that I know, those who live paycheck-to-paycheck usually do so because they work in low-wage jobs that simply don't pay enough to save any money. There surely are outliers that just don't know how money works, but the majority fail to save because of low-wage jobs.
This is incredibly naive (or disingenuous?). When the alternative is just not having a job people will take a lot of shit, that doesn't mean it's okay.
If your point is that the actual money issued by the central bank (M0) does not necessarily result in the monetary supply that could be potentially produced according to the minimal reserve requirements that’s obviously true.

Banks are not forced to loan out as much as they could, they have a choice. And because the system is not working at “full capacity” the central bank cannot control the money supply adjusting the minimal reserve requirements. They use other mechanism like short term rates (including through the interest the Fed pays on reserves since 2008).

“Loans create deposits” is of course true in the standard description as well. If banks create money (by lending out, if they want, excess reserves) that necesarily means that the total amount of deposits increases. Because the total amount of deposits (plus the relatively less important amount of physical money in circulation) is what we call money!

Good:
* Fast.
* Regular BIOS updates for Linux (none affected me).
* No hardware problems (I use Killer WiFi every work day; fingerprint not supported but doesn't matter to me).

Average:
* No official Linux Dell support (need Latitude or 13")
* No DisplayPort
* Keyboard ok

Poor:
* Linux support for 4k has problems (even with second 4k screen).
* No PgUp/PgDn/Home/End keys
* Coil Whine - occasional noise depending on activity - like hearing old CPU on radio.
* nVidia - causes fan to run - poor switching support - low battery life - so I just never use it.
* Glossy screen (touch screen models always shiny)
