even better, you can set up catch-alls for your domains, and they support seamless outbound use of it. so if you get an email at literally_anything@example.com, replies are sent from the same address.

When it comes to cluster-scale computing, size is not the main issue. The main issues are: compute/$ and compute/watt.

There is also the matter of how much RAM and disk can be attached to each board, and the speed of the NIC. Gigabit ethernet is a little slow these days.
I started wondering which VPN might be best to use, then I realized, there's little comparison to your own server. Outline VPN is a neat open source tool that makes this possible with no server setup or maintenance required: https://getoutline.org/en/home
It's not speculation. "No platforming", "safe spaces", "trigger warnings"... are all relatively recent inventions. Universities have always been left leaning, but the "moral grandstanding" mentioned in the original post is a more recent development.

DirectX 12 is actually more easy to swallow for the average Joe programmer than Vulcan so maybe it does make sense.
That multinational company is probably going to put your data in an unsecured s3 bucket or a company-accessible excel spreadsheet. So instead of "some strange guy" it's going to be an entire network of people who could use that to rob you directly, plus anyone who works at any of the companies they sell it to, plus people who buy it directly with the intent of spear fishing or ripping you off (legally or illegally).
I think anything made of steel and concrete would crumble within a couple of centuries, without maintenance. The rebar would rust.

Maybe the stone cathedrals would last longer?

In any case, the biggest man made structure would probably be an open-cast mine or a slag heap.

If you read closely you'll observe that I'm not talking about the 'centre' (whatever that means, the word doesn't label a fixed set of things). I'm talking primarily about evidence based biases and secondarily biases towards being flexible and moderate.

It may be as many as 80% of the population would support evidence-based biases, in theory. There are still problems but it is a big step up from inflexible partisanship.
That's what I thought, but why not write it as SystemD or system-d then?
Steam supports all major PC VR HMDs, including Oculus Quest shortly with a remote link cable. There are some games that are only available on the Oculus store (mostly those funded or developed by Oculus) but the majority of PC VR content is on Steam.
Software RAID = simple. At least when I built this machine nearly 10 years ago. Since then it's been rock solid, if not blazing fast. There were also horror stories of hardware raids failing due to controllers failing; or subtle differences between different revisions of RAID controllers. That said I also had budgetary restrictiions at the time that made software raid attractive.

I looked at NAS appliances, but I think it's still cheaper to create one from scratch (assuming existing knowhow, and "free" time :)
The fact that chat sucks in Basecamp has some downsides of course. I often want to drop a code snippet and ask something. That’s difficult.

For a small team, we really don't have any downside really except this one. All pings and project campfires are riddled with screenshots of small snippets of code. I've tried moving my team to Mattermost or Slack, but chatting on Basecamp is a hard habit to lose. If there's a better way to do this in Basecamp I'd like to know.
As one of the tweets pointed out all those words are in OSX's build in wordlist. If you KNOW its 4 concatenated dictionary words than the speed at which you can crack it is basically just like brute forcing a 4 digit luggage lock.

It's not wrong to use. Its wrong to codify it or enact it as policy because what a corporate security goons published "password requirements" is really just "search space reducers" For example; not wasting my time on guesses below the 8 char minimum. Thanks security guy, that saved a BUNCH of time!

I'd just like to point out that "Germany processing thousands of Jews through death camps weekly" didn't matter to anyone until after the war was over. (Well, anyone outside Germany. And there were people who knew what was going on and tried to show it to the world, but there are cranks everywhere.)
This is the ultimate problem with how we've structured public corporations/LLCs in the US. When markets are working correctly in an environment of low innovation, companies themselves becomes the product, and the company's product itself just become a cashflow on a balance sheet. Grow the company (and its userbase) to a point where it can be harvested (go public) and then processed while you get paid out.

Nothing else in the environment matters if it's not on the balance sheet (most notably pollution, social disruption, and general human suffering). Yvon Chouinard has a great perspective on this in his book "Let My People Go Surfing" where he meditates on the paradox of running a private business that fights itself by automatically giving away portions of its revenue to charity rather than paying out shareholders/reinvesting in growth. What do you do when you see every sale your company makes as a failure in the fight against consumption/towards sustainability?

Seems pretty standard.. and while I appreciate that branding work, I feel like it's not like a ton of work or money went into it.

I've seen small-ish FOSS projects having long debates on uppercase vs lowercase in logos, libre fonts, etc. And why not, even if we don't always agree with the end result, art does tend to help build a community :)
The relevant point isn't how important the outcome of Team A versus Team B is, but rather the amount of influence an individual has over that outcome.

A normal individual has very little effect on the outcome of sporting competitions, but an individual sports fan does get satisfaction from choosing a team to cheer for.

Likewise, a normal individual has very little effect on the outcome of major government policies (e.g. federal policies in the USA), but an individual voter does get satisfaction from associating with a particular political group, following their events, researching their arguments and rebuttals to opponents' arguments, etc.

It's true that major government policies actually are extremely important, but that doesn't mean that individual political participation has much of an influence on outcomes. It is very common for people to have a strong association with some political group and act similarly to sports fans (e.g. "my group is great, your group are a bunch of hateful cheaters"). It's not as common for people to spend effort and resources attempting to increase their actual influence on political outcomes (things like having constructive discussions, organizing events, campaigning, or even running for office), because people correctly realize that most of the time the effort and resources spent would be larger than the resulting effect on the outcome.
Yes, but reordering the headers is usually safe. Having order-dependent behavior is a serious bug and should generally be fixed by the header authors. When you add a header do you usually carefully consider the interaction between the new header and all the exist ones? No, you just add it to the end of the existing list or at its sorted position? Yeah, me too.

I agree that a formatting tool changing the behavior or performance is a serious issue, but I don't think it's a bug in clang-format in that I suspect it is deliberate design choice, and users can opt out if they want. Maybe the default could be changed or more visible warnings added to the documentation, but the real fix here needs to be in glibc.
> Alyx is pretty much the only choice if they wanted to use a pre-existing character as an action protagonist set between HL1 & 2.

Before I say this, note I'm looking forward to playing as Alyx, and don't expect gender to make much of a difference in a game/story like this.

But as far as not having options, I disagree. Barney was already a playable character in Blue Shift, he's shown to be relevant to the plot in HL2. Not only that but he's undercover at least some of the time, opening up gameplay avenues that Alyx wouldn't have available. Not that I'm suggesting that HL in VR needs a Papers Please style minigame or anything...

It wasn't a glancing blow. It solidly struck a thrust mount and then bounced to pierce the tank. So while some energy was lost in the collision with the thrust mount (how elastic was it?) the blow that counted was dead-on.

Hitler did not magically appeared in 1933. He was politically active pretty much from 1918. The ideas he drawn from were even more older.

1933 is when Hitler gained all the power and Germany was pretty much at point of no return. The time to stop Hitler was before. Your timeline literally starts when experienced and possible opposition is about to go to Dachau. It is too late at that point.

I am in perfect control of my reading experience when I have a magazine in my hand. I can either look at the ads or skip them, or I can just glance at one and decide which way to go.

This is in contrast to web where I'll have to start by choosing a set of ad-blocking plugins to allow me back even some of that control even before I've read a single article online.

I don't particularly even care that much about ad networks tracking me, that's more like a philosophical / ethical question that is invisible in the daily life. Web ads aren't bad because of tracking, it's just that they're mostly bad ads.
Definitely thought that the backyard was gonna be filled with stuff hahaha.

X-Plane also works with VR (and arguably better, as with VR enabled aircraft you can actually use the controllers to pilot).

VR definitely triggers more areas in the brain than just a monitor as I can empathize very well with the feeling you describe. Supposedly fans modified Alien: Isolation to work with VR. THERE'S NO WAY I'M TOUCHING THAT. Subnautica VR is "bad" enough :)

This is a good idea in theory, as it will reduce your fomo and probably jealously. But I bet if you try this for a week, you'll remember why the like/votes metric is important...

The reason voting sites are so popular with people like you and me, is that it's an objective measure of quality from like-minded people.

My link-clicking experience has taught me that if something is old (>8 hours) with a low vote count, it might not be worth the time to look at it. By hiding this metric, you're essentially clicking randomly in the dark...
That feature is basically the killer feature for me. I sign up for each service with a custom email and password, and save both in pass or any other pwd manager.
It makes it super easy to see which service leaked your email when you get unrelated spam. I wonder whether such an occasion would be grounds for a court case against said company under GDPR.
I think this is cool, but engineering for engineering's sake aside I've seriously looked at building a raspi cluster a couple of times and have always concluded that it isn't worth it.

The real selling point for me is energy efficiency and price, but the reason I could never make it happen is because most of the applications I want to use are x86 only and I don't have the resources to be a trailblazer in that area. In addition sourcing becomes an issue with raspberry pis when you aren't a big company like Oracle. It's hard to buy more than a handful as an individual.
It reminds me of how many memes right now are going around trying to get people to recall the difference between "equity" and "equality". That story is a fascinatingly absurd version of those sorts of memes, and the reasons it can be so easily misinterpreted coincide directly with why those memes seem to be circulating again in today's political climate.
If it's easy to check the database and they don't, wouldn't that be negligent?
> Seriously, they don't build skyscrapers or bridges and leave for 5 days to see if they topple to prove the design was correct.

Perhaps a better analogy is carving a violin top. Skyscrapers and bridges can be overbuilt without destroying their utility, but a violin has to be as thin as possible without breaking if you want it to function well as a violin.
In a mass layoff, you have zero leverage therefore there's nothing to negotiate. You only have leverage if there's a a reason to keep you on the payroll or there's something you have that they want and, in a mass layoff, neither of those are probably true. If you have special extenuating circumstances (e.g. being on disability), you might try pleading for additional severance but it seems like a long shot.

Regarding hiring a lawyer, read the documents you receive and then decide whether you need to hire a lawyer. Assuming their HR and lawyers were competent and no special circumstances apply to you (e.g. you're an executive or you have iron-clad proof of being discriminated against when being selected for the layoff), most likely all hiring a lawyer will get you is an explanation of what the documents mean and a large bill.
> You asked who holds the opinion that speech can constitute violence; I answered.

I did not.

> You can't ask for examples and dismiss them, refusing to read the things I link.

If your goal was to answer my question (ignoring the fact that you misread my question in the first place), then a more effective approach would have been to write an answer. That answer could have included quotes from your material. It is customary to include links to the raw material backing up your quotes, as a footnote.

Instead you just dumped links with no explanation or context. After a few minutes of skimming your material, a coherent point failed to magically appear.

So no, sorry, I’m not going to invest an hour of my time doing research on your own material to produce an answer you couldn’t be bothered to articulate yourself.
South Park did a really good job with a mute character in both of their recent games. It became almost a running joke in how the conversations would flow and the silence was taken as support for whatever the speaking person wanted it to mean, highlighting narcissism or teasing societal expectations.
Because it follows the tradition of suffixing daemon executables with "d", like httpd or sshd.

> They won't release products like Office for Linux

This one I don't really understand why not. Presumably Office for Linux would still bring in revenue. Just not the additional indirect revenue of a Windows license.

> (though a web interface is possible),

I am not totally familiar with the "Office365" brand and what it includes, but I get the impression some browser based stuff already works on Linux. In work accounts at former employers I have used a web-based Outlook on Linux and FreeBSD that had some "Office365" branding.

> and they won't move away from Windows-only APIs

This one I don't know why they would ever do. Win32 apps are still driving revenue and customer satisfaction for them. More, I think, than they admit to themselves. Witness they tried to kill Win32 apps in the Windows 8 cycle, and failed. Then kept trying to resurrect the idea of killing Win32, and had to walk it back every time. Surface RT wouldn't do third party Win32 apps. Neither would Windows Store initially. Then they floated a Windows 10 amd64 SKU that couldn't run third party Win32 apps. Nobody wanted this stuff. That legacy is pretty much the only thing that keeps people on Windows.
As nice as your information was, they probably already knew. In fact, they likely sold it in the first place.
Seems like an absurd measure when comparing service versus production driven economies. GDP doesn’t measure whether you sold 1 million copies of a film, or manufactured the cameras out of raw materials to produce them. Obviously one has a significantly more linear relationship to carbon output than the other.
Whatever they're doing is pretty accurate. I've never noticed any issues.
Surprised the article didn't even mention the word econometrics. It being the topic and all.
Steam is a shop, it has little to do with the quality of the games sold there.
The Quest can play this - Oculus Link, ALVR, Virtual Desktop, etc.
ProtonMail is the most promising.
Has it been officially canceled, or is this still speculation based on people removing it from their twitter bios? The game's steam page is still up.

Those both sound like bad financial planning. Pumping more money into the equation won't solve that.
Overlooked? I'm confused...

They do have that feature coming with it? Or am I confused on what you are referring to?

Even if Microsoft does really love Linux, I'd rather want to know which Linux they love: a generic one such as any popular distro out there, or rather their own version of Linux, which could be a frankenpenguin where some obscure proprietary technolgy, no matter how small, would magically make their software run "better".

I am 100% speculating, of course, but if I was in Microsoft pants and wanted to kill Linux because it makes essentially impossible to achieve domination in some context (server, embedded, mobile, etc), once realized I can't destroy it for failing many moons ago to understand its potential at step 1 of "first they ignore you..." , the best alternative would be to embrace it, pollute it discreetly injecting closed technology in key areas (all it needs is a key driver or library), port some great software to it with seemingly innocuous strings attached to the proprietary parts that will make it run better or run at all, have its users love my software and get used to it, make its use appealing to business users as well (offering discounted pro support as an example), acquire game companies and port their titles as above, etc.
Once I have say the 20 most used apps depend on that closed blob or technology, I'd be ready to roll out my own distro which of course by being the favorite one among "normal" users will be the one dictating other Linux distros future.
To make it short, Microsoft will indeed love Linux, although not before making Linux one of their products.

As I wrote, that's pure speculation, but think of it when the first "best run on WSL" Linux software comes out.

Esther Duflo is the most obviously deserving Nobel Prize in Economics pick in decades. Major substantive contributions to development economics coupled with being absolutely the vanguard of the credibility revolution.

The article seems to motivate criticism of RCTs in only the barest manner: "what of external validity?" No shit, Sherlock, which is why the credibility revolution also argues for frequent and cross-contextual replications. "RCTs present ethical quandaries in re denying the control group the benefits of a presumed good intervention". Again, duh. The problem is these presumed good interventions often aren't which is why the most resounding impact of RCTs is not proving treatments successful beyond our wildest dreams, but rather finding a series of disappointing and in some cases devastating null effects. Bringing up deworming is especially rich in light of the serious concerns raised by deworming RCTs about the value and effect.

It is also weird to talk about the credibility term solely or entirely in terms of RCTs. As economists often say RCTs are the gold standard, but there exist many silver standards and causal inference writ large and a broader concern with well identified pseudo-experimental or observational work has also developed thanks to the same forces and same people credited here.

Thank god for Esther Duflo. Oh, and her husband is a half decent economist too, I guess.
Humor me for a moment and just load up Echo VR and stand in the main menu looking at your arms.

Smart bulbs often aren't any better than cheap ones. But there are people doing high quality ones (high CRI, and no flicker). These ones for example:
