My grandmother passed away a few years ago and it’s a similar story. She has been very frail and sickly, and decided to come home to be with her family. At home, she sat down on the bed, called over the care taker — took her hand and said “thank you” and sort of just fell asleep and never woke up. Everyone one in the family was relieved she didn’t suffer in her last moment.
Besides pushing articles I want to read later to Pocket I tend to use the principle "if I cannot remember the name/address of the website, I do not need to bookmark or visit it". Browsers nowadays are excellent at autocompletion which kind of supersedes bookmarks.
I toyed with this feeling. Not to repeat the dopamine theory we see everywhere.. but it feels that most of the web really ends up in the low hanging easy pleasure of our brain, and any moment of struggle will tickle that reflex. And when you ignore/fight it for a second... You (at least I) can sense blood pressure change in my brain and then the thinking side of my head goes back into rhythm again. Thinking is a pleasure too, but it's requires a bit of patience.

The vacuum cleaner would have much larger airflow though. Would it still have higher energy usage per unit volume of air pumped?

If not, then cycling the vacuum on and off would actually Dave energy compared to the small fan setup.
Sometimes I have a really hard time to start working on some tasks and I think it is linked to anxiety and stress, not mere laziness. As long as there are no big expectations (like when exercising), I have usually no procrastination issues.
In the past German porn used to be the only (or the only reasonable) porn many people could get. Some people felt curious about what do the people in the porn speak (which seems natural when all you have is a couple of VHS movies rather than tons of short clips you can navigate in instants), some of them had too much spare time (that was during the days before widespread Internet availability).
Exactly this. If nothing else my experiences taught me the importance of biting the tongue on one hand, and not leaving things unsaid on the other.
No it wouldn’t work, cmd1 would return the stdout output of cmd1 if you could do that at all, but it would really try to use -and cmd2 as parameters to cmd1.
Why not simply apply the gain over the time period. If you get $50k gain after 10 years, that's counted as $5k gain per year and we already know what tax bracket you were in for those years so you submit a revision and pay the tax that would've been due in each of those years.
I've cut it down further, I'll do 30 seconds on a task just to get me going.

I send links to getpocket.com from $device. I like to save the best ones, so I made a dumb tool to download them as rendered text files (glorified w3m -dump) which I organize in 3 folders that my tool syncs back upstream to GetPocket: favourites (which I keep locally and backed up), archived (local copy is deleted, but link kept in GetPocket), and deleted (sync deletes from local and GetPocket). The tool is http://github.com/srvaroa/repocket
I wonder if this stupid compliance trick works: encode the image in base64 (or whatever, maybe something more dense), output that as plain text in the page, tell users they need to install a browser extension that recognizes these parts, decodes them and puts the image in place of the text.

Just for kicks the browser extension is open source and is maintained by anonymous..

there is also some other air filtering project on github.
maybe a bit more powerful but more expensive and definitely more ugly.
https://github.com/KarstenSiemer/Open-Airfilter

I don't really think airfilters in that size so much. They need to push a serious amount of air through the filters to be able to accommodate for natural air circulation. Some pc fans don't do the trick I'd suspect
UV-Based Nodes
They do exist.

The main problem of air washers is that it is not enough to change the water.

Fungus and spiders love the wet environment. Algae start growing if there is sunlight using just the dust particles on air as food. Also very bad bacteria like salmonella and others could grow if the water gets warm.

Not a single comment in this thread, nor the OP document, contained the word "dividend", so I am completely lost as to why you are now referencing something that applies only to dividends, when the discussion clearly is about "investment income" in the general sense, not to mention that dividends don't exist with cryptocurrencies.

It lets me add links into different collections easily and I can even share those collections with other people if I want. It's really nice to be able to just share a collection of links when someone ask for something. Ex.

Your browsing history usually expires after some time (in Firefox anyway, haven't checked other browsers but they'll likely do something similar). If you want to keep something long-term, better bookmark it. You can just bookmark pages as a hint to tell the browser not to expire them, and then still access them through the address bar, without spending time on organizing your bookmarks.
I stopped using bookmarks because I just use the browsing history instead.

On browsers I bookmark pages I want to come back to, but it's usually like 3-5 bookmarks before i wipe the browser completely again.
At Netflix, in my larger work group, we have at least 7 FreeBSD committers, and one core team member (and I'm sure I'm forgetting some folks and I'm sorry!). We have employed (on specific contracts) many other committers and core team members.

Unlike Yahoo, we are accountable to Netflix's business goals of increasing our streaming customer's Quality of Experience while still maintaining or reducing the cost to deliver content. Frequently those goals align nicely with FreeBSD's goals, and we have contributed a great deal (async sendfile, kTLS, unmapped mbufs, epoch stabilization, NUMA work, RACK TCP, BBR TCP, TCP pacing, and tons of stuff I'm forgetting).

> I cannot imagine a database of signs that would be constantly up to date and somehow distributed to all cars on the road.

Really depends on where you are. I agree I can't imagine it in the USA, but in the Netherlands, where every square metre is documented, attributed and zoned (yes including the leftover grassy triangle bits between highway ramps, everything). We could totally do that if necessary.

I don't know if documenting all the traffic signs would be the right solution. If anything I would imagine this database to include way more virtual traffic signs than are actually there. Not for the legal traffic rules, but virtual ones that would be nice if they existed and everybody in the flock held to them.

Point is that worldwide there is a huge variety in the quality of roads, the quality of signage, driving culture and attitude, and the general predictability of the environment. Some places will lend themselves more naturally to the first forms self-driving cars will take than other places that are more "free form".
I have been accumulating links at https://dotat.at/: since 2002. It is super low-effort: rather than tagging, I rely on keywords in the title (which I try to adjust to be more searchable). I don’t try to read all the stuff: the links are partly an aide memoire in case I want to go back and dig deeper on a subject. Some of the links I refer to fairly often. (I should probably move my old static bookmarks page to my link log since I use my link log way more now so it is more convenient in practice.)

I guess there are people who really believe that reality is malleable and if you say something often enough it becomes "true", as O'Brien explains in 1984:

"I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the Party holds to be the truth, is truth."

This is also used with people who suffer from some kind of limb paralysis. You first start to tell them to wiggle the extremity of their finger (or toe). Then part of the of the finger. Then the whole finger. And so on.

Basically the concept is the make every single effort leading to the end result as effortless and frictionless as possible.

With a video player/editor, locate the I-frames (or simply the best looking ones, playing frame by frame), extract them, then use _any_ photo editor to sharpen, adjust contrast/luminosity, enlarge, etc, and print them. It is not rocket science and will give you something to show to the police/whoever, in about an hour of work.

Before investing real money on this, be aware of the legal value of these videos: do we really see the burglar forcing the front door? Taking your property? Is your neighbour entitled to film that area? The answer strongly depends on your local laws.

> I would just like to add that projects in people's portfolios are often not initially created to make money

We both can agree on this. But that's not how Emil looks at it, his entire point is that projects are better credentials than even degrees.

And since projects have higher value in portfolios, they will implicitly derive capital? One of the reasons why they have capitalistic value.

You and I can both agree, that projects and learning do have fun elements attached to them and might not necessarily be part of a larger goal. However, that's not what his views are!
Sometimes I'm kicking myself that I should really start work on this now, and it doesn't work, and I get more and more anxious.

Upon reflection (sometimes I get to that point sooner, sometimes later) the problem is usually that the task is too vaguely defined to start working on it.

1) There's no Ubuntu LTS release with Wayland as default display server.

2) Gparted doesn't work, because it wants to run as root. You should use an application, that runs only minimal, necessary parts as root, and the UI runs with your user's capabilities.

3) Wayland compositors do not provide unrestricted access to to composed display for very good reasons. They do provide an access through controlled API. That controlled API didn't stabilize into unified one among different compositors yet, so for screen recording you have to use compositor-specific utility for now. In Gnome-Wayland/Ubuntu, you have one available by default.

So yes, when you clean up the capabilities over time, the old stuff will break. But without breaking it, you cannot develop your system. Apple also breaks compatibility will old apps, even more than most Linux distros.

Business Processes in Distirbuted Systems
Couch to 5k (a.k.a. C25K) is a popular way to build up slowly and steadily.

Once you're up to running 5k three times a week (which is roughly where the plan leaves you) you can limit both volume and max distance increases to 10% per week.

I used to run 5-6 times a week with a usual volume of 50k/week so adding in another 1-2 gentle 5k recovery jogs to do a minimum of 5k every day wouldn't be difficult at all. But that's an entirely different prospect to just going out and trying to run 5k every day (although some people do exactly this and get away with it) with minimal existing running fitness or conditioning.
I imagine if the total was over $10,000 it would violate laws against structuring.
> What triggers the optimization should be the value type of the range, not the type of the value to be filled in.

As the article says, you have to do at least some checking on the type of the source value, because it could be a user-defined type with an overloaded implicit conversion operator (operator char()) that does something non-trivial. (I'm not completely sure that my comment contradicts what you've just said, but that's because I don't quite see what you're saying.)
Is there something inherent in literature that requires it to be visually consumed? Yes, it's too easy to let one's mind wander while listening to an audiobook but I find it helps to have a group/book club with which to discuss the book afterward.

One significant negative of audiobooks is that I tend to listen while doing "active but mindless" activities (mowing the lawn, commuting, cleaning my office, doing dishes/chores) which means I'm not in a position to stop and take notes in the margin or in a notebook. To really absorb a work and make it your own I think you need to take notes and summarize the main points of each chapter, in your own words, after finishing each chapter.

That said, listening-only is far better than having no exposure to these great works. Would I would love even more is to have commentaries or Joe-Rogan-Style recorded discussions about the books by academics so I could read the book, listen to discussions about the book, then read the book again with these critiques in mind.

Hiring somebody to do the cleaning at home seems to help quite a few people.
