Not really. Just try keeping a .NET/MSSQL environment running for a few days, and the stories will build up quickly.

> SSMS is mature, reliable and makes my life easier meanwhile pgAdmin is just viable, but nothing more.

But psql is good enough that I pretty much never have to touch pgAdmin. And for ad-hoc editing (the only case where graphical editors have any real advantage), surprise, SSMS can't edit the results of custom queries. pgAdmin doesn't care, as long as the query contains the primary key.

And there is also a lot of polish that SSMS just doesn't have. Like how it forgets the order of your tabs as soon as they overflow. Or how you can't just do an ad-hoc query and see the result, you need to open a new query "document".

That was my reaction too. Sometimes it decides that it won't build at all because it complains about unresolved references. Sometimes it builds but assets will be missing. And of course it's an opaque black box in the usual MS fashion, so there is no way to force it to retry, or to find out why it's not cooperating.
Ok I'm missing the point. I don't understand why the passphrase is wrong to use. It seems to me that the passphrase would be hard to guess. There might be ways to shorten the guessing but it would still years to break. How is this wrong?
I think the point is that people who cannot afford to just pay to have important items fixed or replaced must own a lot of additional tools simply to maintain the important items that they own.

In other words, someone with more money can own a minimal set of important items, but someone with less money could own that same minimal set of important items but would also need to own more items to maintain the important items.

The real challenge is no haptic feedback, which I don't think there is any real way to overcome. The better the visuals get the more your brain rebels at not being able to touch anything or feel motion when moving.
> Is there a practical way to have RPis manage a software RAID?

I can't think of any good reason to do use software RAID, let alone doing so on a Raspberry Pi. I would recommend hardware RAID, ZFS, or a Synology appliance.

If performance is truly not a concern, yes it is possible to do this with a Pi but I don't think you are going to be super impressed.
I may have been unclear: teleportation-based combat is fine for me (motion sickness-wise), I’m just wondering how good a high-action FPS can really be if it’s teleportation-based.

Because, if the workaround for teleportation being lackluster is to use joystick controls, thats a nonstarter for me, for the reasons stated above.
Many of the existing KYC providers for fintech startups rely on credit reports to perform identity checks. Our perspective is that relying on credit reports alone is becoming increasingly problematic given the widespread data breaches which expose the underlying data. Bad actors have access to full name, date of birth, address history, and social security numbers for countless individuals.

We believe that going forward, fintech startups are going to have to have to have increasingly robust KYC programs, which will include an ID checks. Berbix is an effective tool to collect and check IDs instantly as part of a robust KYC program. To that end, we’re currently serving multiple customers in the fintech space with such programs.

Yes, I moved the goal posts making my point. I believe the storied history of Java clouds the contemporary reality of Java too much, to the point where one can argue Java "failed on the desktop" specifically among people that spend a good fraction of their waking hours using Java desktop software, and I appear to be one of the few that notices this irony.
Star Wars was never a thing outside of America. Even today, fans in China, who otherwise love their CGI heavy sci-fi, don't care much for Star Wars.

You really have to have been either a firsthand or secondhand part of that culture to appreciate Star Wars and similar IPs. Even if you didn't watch it when it was released, you probably heard everyone from your dad to SNL discuss it.

If that wasn't your experience growing up, I doubt you'll care much for it as an adult now

indeed , there were forums well before SNs were a thing, and while they were contentious at times, they weren't constantly at the brink of explosion/tribal wars. Makes one wonder if we even need likes/upvotes to reward opinions. It's possible that they were useful to get the social conversation going, but as the networks grew to huge scale, they ve lost most of their usefulness. I wonder how twitter would be without likes for a day
It's funny you link that because as soon as my fingers hit reply on my first comment, I began looking for blog posts to see if anyone had written about how frustratingly distracting the 'naked hello' (as I call it to my office mate) is.

Could you please be a bit more specific?

I looked through all of the links in the original post and couldn't really find any mentions of specific limitations.

Just trying to learn more about this space.
What if the game could be played by two people together in co-op mode? If so, we could play with our kids, and it becomes more than just a way to have fun ourselves, but an avenue for family bonding (at least that's how I'd sell it to my wife).
I remember specifically where I was in the game when I got motion sick. I guess the brain is good at remembering things like that for survival reasons. What I've learned as a strategy:

Stop playing as soon as you start feeling ill. Just save and come back to it tomorrow.

Do not try to get back into it (or anything similar, like watching videos of FPS games) after a short break. Wait until the next day or later.

You should be able to get through games like that piece by piece. At least for me, I don't usually get sick from it. Maybe you get used to it as long as you stop once you start getting a little nauseous.

As for FOV, which seems to be the cause, I found a reference[1] that says the fov is 75 until you meet Alyx. (Wait, what?) Not sure what it is after that. There is an option in the settings to increase it between 75 and 90 (higher is better).

Others have pointed out in this thread that greenery may be a reflection of wealth which strikes me as true. I wouldn't discount state power either - in many cities the greenest areas are the ones inhabited by bureaucrats and soldiers.

I also think we should be looking at d/dx(green) rather than |green| to detect the influence of wealth and power, especially in parts of the world where unchecked growth has decimated green space. Which is to say, don't perform your comparisons based on tree cover now but the change in tree cover over time, say, using satellite data over the years.

Common sense suggests that by looking at the ebb and flow of greenery, we will find that the spots where the wealthy and the powerful live are less likely to see trees cut down and more likely to see new trees planted.

It's a bit difficult since the RPi doesn't have any form of storage controller, just a USB hub. So your system would have to be built out of externally powered USB drives, which would be slow even by your lax standards and likely finicky.

It's hard to see the advantage over a dedicated NAS device, since the savings on the controller gets eaten up by needing to buy a whole bunch of drive enclosures and power supplies.
.local is reserved for mDNS by the same RFC that defines mDNS itself (RFC6762), which is from 2013, so not that recent. If Windows plays games with responder, it is them breaking the standard. Last time I looked, (which is some time ago), Bonjour was available only for modern apps, where they could do discovery for their own counterparts on the network, but not as general, system integrated service. For example, I've never seen that windows smb client could discover SMB shares advertised by Bonjour, that macOS and Linux clients do find. It needs either WSD, or SMB1.

But it is true, that some enterprises abuse .local for their internal network, even for new installations. The answer I got was "it is best practices", but never got an answer where these "best practices" are from. But hey, it is their problem now.
I lived in a city park without an apartment for 2 years, mostly Toronto and SF. It didn't require much ($CAD unless stated otherwise):

access to a kitchen once per day. a list of fave cafes. layered clothing. wool socks. 4 sets of undershirts/wear. 2 outerwear variants. tupperware. hammock tent ($100). bike ($400). bike lock ($60). bike multitool ($15). hand bike pump ($20). small backcountry backpack ($100). sleeping bag ($100). scrubba laundry bag ($50). leatherman utility knife ($60). spork ($5). white male privilege. single. $400/mo for groceries and entertainment. planet fitness membership ($22/mo). PO box ($400/yr). unlimited data plan (USD$10/mo).

yes, i was lucky to be able to do it easily, but no, true minimalism certainly does not require boat loads money, just the above, plus planning and commitment and some social capital as a safety net :)
You just have to use Bing Search. You get MS Bucks.
Totally bonkers: economists using science to approach "social science" issues. Social sciences should be ashamed that this is not the norm, we should all be startled and surprised that this is a new thing and evidently people have just been using a system of high-fives and good wishes to solve the world's social problems.
Your comment reminds me of an HN article that was recently posted: "Study of “moral grandstanding” helps explain why social media is so toxic".

More seriously, your comment screams of tribalism. I think that you will find that most people, across all political aisles, are decent humans who genuinely mean no ill-will towards others. I would be surprised if any political comment posted online has ever changed the mind of someone else. What does change the minds of others, though, is face-to-face, compassionate, honest dialogue.
Well, you have to be careful there, because it very much depends on how acute the situation has become. If the situation is acute enough, you really shouldn't be talking at all, you have to move to action.

For less important issues, sure, talk it out. Like most domestic political issues, those are just little things. No one's dying, no one's being enslaved. So talking it out is actually not only the preferable choice, but the correct choice.

But for acute issues, say something like slavery, or Germany processing thousands of Jews through death camps weekly, or even domestically if some guy goes to shoot up a Walmart, the time for talk has past. I suppose we could ask them to stop, just as a formality, but any answer other than "We'll stop immediately and unconditionally" has to be met with force. That's the whole reason we have police, because sometimes, it's just not practical to "talk it out" in the hopes that the bad actor stops doing what they're doing.

Certainly with slavery we probably waited far too long to stop the behavior, and that hesitation made forcing an end to the problem worse than it otherwise would have been. It's a good reminder that in life, as a general rule, it's always best to handle acute issues as soon as possible.

Now what's funny about all of the animosity today, is that other than the problem of domestic terrorism, there are no acute issues. So there is nothing really worth fighting over. (Again, stopping mass shooters excepted. And I'm not sure anyone is arguing against that idea anyway?) So it's kind of perplexing to me that people get so mad over issues these days? As most of the issues seem so petty in a historic or even cultural sense.

I'm not too sure what to think of this article. There are some valid points to me made for sure, but intent today isn't as clear cut as it was 20 years ago.

For example, almost 20 years ago, I stood in front of a group of mostly sales people in a board room at Microsoft Canada to answer emotionally-charged questions about this "Linux threat" that was looming. Just under a year ago, I sat on a couch at Microsoft with some talented Microsoft developers drinking a custom Americano listening to them talk about how Microsoft recognizes their personal open source and ethical values in a way that makes them love their job.

As a Linux developer and geek, it's difficult to hate Microsoft today.
Fastmail lets you receive emails for the domains you own. Not forward, but actually be delivered there. Plus you can create other free addresses with domains such as fastmail.us etc.

All of which can be seamlessly connected to the same single account - you can then use rules to distribute the incoming emails as you see fit.

If you have your projects on GitHub then you can use Gitpod (www.gitpod.io) It allows to define dev environment in code, and then spawn remote env in Google Cloud with access via the browser with VS Code like editor. Only GitHub authentication is required and it is free for open source projects up to 100 hours a month.

Disclaimer: I'm working on Gitpod.
I thought of the same but realised that I have contradicting examples from myself alone.

I sometimes go to a magazine to read about something specific yet I might eyeball the ads while I'm around the target content. If it's a long multi-page article that I'm interested in specifically, or a single page thing, I still might pop out of the text into an advertisement occasionally.

Conversely I do browsing (in the traditional sense) on the web as well: I often find myself looking around some website, reading this and that around here and there, trying to figure out how much of the stuff is interesting vs boring, and generally not diving deep on anything and thus I'm theoretically quite open to subject myself to advertising but I still don't look at ads, and I'm still not interested.

I sometimes wonder how would it be if web had started with good ads and I had conditioned myself from the start to expect interesting stuff in the ads.

It's just that the web went the opposite way, innocently starting with a <blink>, and going to JavaScript, Flash, and cookie-infested ad networks and whatnot to deliver involuntary injections of striking advertisements, and now I'm practically allergic to anything that moves or stands out.
Not bad, actually. We test with the Vive and the Index. If your distro has up to date drivers, it works well on both Nvidia (proprietary) and AMD. Nvidia is a little easier to set up, as there's only one real choice of driver, but AMD isn't bad either. Game support is obviously lesser than Windows, but a good number of games run well in Steam Play/Proton. That includes Beat Saber, which is probably the most popular VR game on the market.
I’m pretty neutral. Why does he deserve it less than the billionaire VCs who didn’t do due diligence before handing it over? I don’t see moral superiority on either side of the table from where I’m standing.

Besides by that principle his employees didn’t deserve to get paid either, since by your reasoning his employees were only paid by the fruits of fraud. That doesn’t make sense to me.
My impression is that Microsoft sees it as a "¿Por que no los dos?" situation and is investing in both because it makes developers happy to have a choice.
Subscription gets you "up to" 4k, right now none of the titles is true 4k, they are upscaled from lower resolution 1080p or 1440p.

You think a new Half-Life game, something which has been demanding for years by hoards of people on the internet, is narrowly targeted?
Sorta. At the end of the day, yes, the disks are being managed by your CPU and not a dedicated raid controller... but it's a completely different ballgame than something like mdadm.

Then you would be very suprised at a lot of what happens in game dev. Many in-house tools are mere skeletons, fleshed out just enough to get the job done. The bug squashing is focused on the primary product. Developing end-user ready tools is basically a paralell dev process. Difficult, rare, expensive but often immensely valuable and rewarding.
This game is also designed to work just sitting or standing in place, not just in larger open spaces.

It's a lot harder to demonstrate how the value added by improving stability. Like, what's the difference between 99.93% availability and 99.95% availability? How do you show that increasing test coverage by 5% helps users and brings value to the company?

"Hey, so you know how our application is pretty much always working, but will error out once every other blue moon? It does that less now," doesn't sound as flashy as "Look at this thing our app does that it didn't do before!"
I think a server browser and the ability to run community servers would be essential alongside that. Back when I was big into multiplayer PC games that whole scene was amazing fun, and is the reason even games like WolfET still survive in some form today.

Do you verify consistency of components on a license through access to a DMV database (e.g. name matches address matches license number) or is this closer to a surface-level check of subtle visual indicators present on a license? Watermarks, holograms, etc.

In the same way that Half-Life gave us Counter Strike and Team Fortress, imagine what the editing tools for Half-Life: Alyx could do for VR content development.

Yes, but the normal political process in wealthy democratic countries simply does not give much influence to the average individual. Obviously government policies can and do have huge consequences for many individuals, civil rights being a very notable example. But when's the last time you got to vote on a civil rights issue, and even if you did, how much effect did your research and vote have on the outcome?

The reason people tend to just choose a political "team" and root for that team is that there is individual value to that process. If feels good to be part of a team, to cheer with your team's victories, and to complain about your team's losses. That's a big part of what is so fun about sports fandom. It doesn't depend on your actual individual influence on the outcome, which everyone correctly realizes is nearly negligible.
Kind of. A full AD DC isn't supported by redhat (it's disabled) as the MIT kerberos "port" is incomplete and seems dead.

If they can leverage the GPU on the Pis it could be quite a bit of compute power spread across that array. Even if they're purely CPU bound that is 4240 cores which is not nothing.

Power wise each Pi going flat out burns around 5W, so all told you're burning ~6kW, which is quite modest for a big computing setup.
Back in college, I took a Contemporary Moral Problems class (from a professor who resembled Captain Kangaroo---it was surreal and probably an example of something). The one quote I remember from the reading was,
