It's faster than any Bash terminal I've tried so far on WSL. Tried ConEmu and Hyper.

ConEmu glitches out for me on tmux. Hyper can be a bit slow, but is most accurate for me.

I'm doing tmux + vim with 256 colors. So a lot of stuff has to come together and "just work"

Windows Terminal over the past months fixed glitches. It's update-able via Windows Store.

Oh, and the font "Cascadia Code" is one of my favorites. Very clean. Actually, I'm using it on Linux now in my terminal [1].

The other thing is Windows Terminal works great on a huge monitor, too. No lag when rendering. Feels lite. I compare its snappiness to rxvt-unicode. Faster than iTerm2.

Just my perception, never benchmarked.

And this goes along with WSL 2, which is worth reinstalling Win 10 for if you left because of WSL 1 problems. This stuff is fast. I can throw multiple multiple beefy node projects, python flask/django apps, building C++ projects, importing postgres DB (4gB import with a lot of indexes), all at the same time.

[1] I dual boot still. There is a shortcut on Windows 10 minimizes all windows that I can't disable easily. It loses my workspace positioning and isn't recoverable. I hope this gets changed - it'd be a dream.
I'll bite - why wasn't the cold war a necessary result of the geopolitical tensions at the time?
Yes, that’s the problem.
If this isn't an extended schtick, please seek out psychiatric help.

That is neither an insult not a joke. This is virulently antisocial.
This disregards the fact that countries' leaders have obligations only to their own citizenry and thus not to foreign countries. China is justified in their actions from their perspective, but not ours. We should never have allowed their ascendancy.

Gonna wait for the feature-complete release and try it out to see if I switch out to it from Cmder.
I hate the Windows command prompt. Because when you have several of them open and they overlap each other, there is no way to tell where one window ends and the next one starts. The problem is the almost-invisible border. In Windows 10 they added fancy features such as translucence and took the border away, and to some people this may look beautiful, but for others it created a usability nightmare because overlapping windows just blend into each other.
> Could we not reasonably launch a series of deflective plates or shields in the same plane through the "danger zones" encircling important satellites, or creating a safe zone for passage with shuttles?

No, the problem is, while the probability to collide with any one debris particle is low, there are just a lot of them. So when your plate collides with some, there are still a lot of them.

I would note that it's likely faster to buy the computer from the website/app while standing in the store, and then ask them to bring it out.

They're "more free" to do the pure bringing-stuff-out, because they know they might have to budget 30 mins or more for a complex purchase with lots of hand-holding and transferring and stuff, while a bring-out is always going to be short.

And, if you don't have your phone on you, you could buy a Mac using one of the demo Macs. I think that's almost part of the reason they're there, at this point—they certainly do prominently feature the Buy Now buttons on the kiosk modes they pop into.
Maybe that is where the "sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice" rejoinder is supposed to come in?

That's not true. Software filters sometimes kill such comments, but the accounts themselves are unaffected, and moderators review the killed comments and unkill the clearly good ones, and mark such accounts legit to immunize their future posts from those filters. Also, users often vouch for comments that have been killed in this way, which restores them.

I'm not sure if I'm missing the joke due to the translation, but it is a very silly article.

Most of the people survive to this virus, so it's not strange that he survived. Specially if he has 25 years old.

It's probably not wise to avoid the antibiotics. I remember in other somewhat similar outbreaks it was common to get a secondary bacterial infection that make things worse.

(Was the recipe for antibiotics or antivirals? He doesn't look like a accurate source.)

The world (not the U.S. alone) should engage in a large peacekeeping mission in Syria.

Why?

Because Syrians aren't subhumans. I'm actually being completely serious when I say that. 500k+ Syrians Arabs have been slaughtered. Tens of thousands are being tortured and raped in ways that would make Satan blush. We're talking about a government that removed the genitals of the 12 year old kid (Hamza Al Khatib) that started the revolution and mailed them to his parents with a warning letter, followed by his bruised and cigarette burn-laden corpse. (see the Syria thread further below for links)

If that isn't the worst-case scenario, then the implication is really grim: that Syrians are subhumans, and the chance of consequences on Western interveners exceeds the value of the lives of a half-million Syrian Arabs. Replace "Syrian Arabs" with "half a million Danes" or "half a million French civilians"," does that make you feel any different about the situation? What if I replaced "Hamza Al Khatib" with "12 year old Johnny McCormick?" All human life is equally precious, so that really shouldn't change anything.

To avoid "consequence entropy," I'll jump right to this: the expected negative value of the hundreds of potential consequences of action is far smaller than the very real, 100% actualized present-day situation extrapolated to the future.

Moreover, consider this. Assad has been continually creating the consequence entropy that people fear. That's what makes the "but what about ISIS?" type of question so ridiculous. He brought ISIS into Syria. He helped fund the precursor to ISIS (AQ in Iraq) to destabilize Iraq. He assassinated the beloved prime minister of Lebanon (Rafik Hariri). This behavior will continue as long as he presides over Syria. Remember, that's all besides the genocide that he is undertaking. Also remember that ISIS isn't Syrian, it's mainly composed of North Africans and Iraqi nationals that invaded Syria. The primary victims of ISIS are the same people that Assad is genociding. These are Muslim Syrian Arabs that lived happily alongside Christians, Druze, Alawites (note: Assad is Alawite), Kurds, and Armenians prior to the revolution. They are the majority of the population and they have no ill will towards other races or creeds. These are the people that were asking for freedom before they got massacred.

So the choice isn't "Assad vs. unknown mix of potentially bad consequences" it's "Assad, guaranteed continuation of genocide, guaranteed debasement of human life, guaranteed obliteration of the cradle of civilization, cultural trama, orchestrated demographic replacement, terrorism, anarchy, international assassinations, and unknown mix of potentially bad consequences vs. unknown mix of potentially bad consequences"

Why is it even remotely interesting that 2 pieces of open source software support a protocol? And why do I care that email forwarders run by registrars that automatically sign domains "support" DNSSEC? What matters is the percentage of all email that uses the protocol.

Never use Exim, by the way.
The problem with that is if Huawei succeeds with stolen technology, which at this point is known true, then who exactly will create new hardware and software? Since these companies aren't earning anything from stolen tech. Huawei will actually have to do something themselves and wind up charging the same amount as everyone else.
You can probable disable Win + M with something like AutoHotkey, which you may already even have installed as a dependency. Alternative, if you're talking about Win + D, you can reverse it by pressing Win + D again.

Especially if middle school starts in 7th grade rather than 6th, this is the perfect time to change. In most cases middle schools mix in multiple elementary schools, so the kids are all making new connections anyway.
Schizophrenia is a grouping of symptoms that are generalized to an inability for a person to smoothly track reality. For example, when a person without schizophrenia attempts to track the trajectory of an object, the eyeballs follow a smooth path. When a person with schizophrenia attempts the same, the eyeballs do not follow a smooth path, with the focal point moving chaotically off center from the target. A part of the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia is testing whether or not the eye can smoothly track the movement of an object. This would likely be why it is difficult to diagnose someone that was born blind.

I think M$ takes it as a side project more than a new feature for the OS. But I agree with you, should've been done ages ago.

I’m really uneducated on the matter, so appreciate some enlightenment: does AMD make the macOS experience better? Raw power doesn’t necessarily correlate to better real world performance, so just wondering what this will mean.
Does Apple ban apps that interfere with other apps?

Or is it Google that does that?

Nigeria has a film industry? I can’t even locate that country on the map.

Edit: I don’t think this is a good example. Nigeria has other problems and priorities to tackle first.
Overall, the not-smartphone thing is great! I wasn't particularly hooked on my (basic) smartphone, but definitely feel a bit more present without it. The urge to look at the rectangle in my pocket after being idle for 5 seconds is gone.

I switched to a Nokia 8110 a couple months ago, and really want to like it, but the basics are too poorly done. On the 8110 in particular, the keys are quite small, and their debouncing is terrible. I worry the debounce might be the same for other phones in that family, which all seem to have the same guts. A single keypress is very often interpreted as a double-press, which makes T9 frustrating and the predictive mode practically impossible.

There's no way to switch the ringer off, without opening the cover and navigating two layers of menu. The music player is borderline useless, a shame considering it has a microSD slot.

At least on my network (Vodafone NZ), MMS messages don't work in either direction - basically you have to ring someone back when they try to send you one.

The idea of having maps is nice. But, in practice, I've just reverted to noting directions in a notebook that I carry anyway. So, while maps was one of the main reasons I tried a Nokia KaiOS phone, it's not a requirement for the next one.

>>I wonder, of the 91% who aren’t party members, what percentage are non-members because they don’t want to join the party, versus what percentage wouldn’t be allowed to join even if they wanted to?

In another country, there's was no "I don’t want to join the party" when invited, just relatives with bad reputations as far as the party was concerned so no invitation. In that case, even if you were applied, you'd be refused. Think for a second, you not wanting to join the party? Granted, China in 2020 is different from Eastern Europe in the 1960-1980's but the idea is probably the same.

However, probably 95% join to enjoy the perks.

Their lights work great with HomeKit, as well as many other devices do. So instead of having a separate app for Kasa switches, app for Hue, app for LiFX, and an app for Nanoleaf, I can control them all straight from HomeKit. Considering that this is easily doable, it seems totally possible to do this with something other than just HomeKit as well.

Ehhh... I can't speak to the rest of the HomeKit integration but the Siri stuff isn't so great either. First it required upgrading the hub, it still only works with Philips bulbs (even though the Hue can control other smart bulbs like IKEA whatevers). After setting it up I still get "device not responding" responses from Siri at least 1/5th of the time.

Using a different app would potentially improve the problems between the hub and phone, but not between the hub and the zigbee devices.

The people doing the manipulating are generally getting what they want, why would they try to pull the system apart?
al jazeera is a perfectly good source of real middle east news. The economist isn't bad. Facebook is entirely unreliable as a news source because for every real post that shows you how things really are, you get two lies.

As just one measure, FB themselves deleted over 3 Billion fake accounts between april and sept last year. These are accounts that provided a phone number for verification. The disinformation operations on that site are like nothing anyone has ever seen.
How do you know the people bullish on self driving cars haven’t also lobbied for trains? There’s a lot more standing in the way of trains being built in the US, unfortunately. To me, self driving cars are just the second-best thing, and one that might actually happen. It’s a bit too late for trains to take over in most of the country.
That’s pretty wild. I wonder how those relationships develop and how sticky they are. C’mon, someone go halfsies with me on a Trunk Club spin on postmates et al

What's up INTPenis (you can call me ISTPsycho if you want).

My dysfunctional family members are always getting riled up online, blocking each other, quitting and quietly rejoining, etc. Some of them are into politics, which makes it worse.

I think there must be an addictive component to this stuff -- not just the FB scroolers, but the twitter outragers, the SJW cancel cultists. There's a pornographic aspect to the spectacle of it all that needs to be acknowledged.
Hey thank you for bringing that up.

I tried AutoHotkey for the firs time yesterday. Am I correct in saying a text file has to be edited to disable the key? What would it look like?

I also heard about Win + D, which could be what I'm hitting a % of the time. Correct me if I'm wrong: but positioning any window after minimization (possibly including the bottom show-desktop / taskbar area) will make it so the window settings can't be reverse back?

My dream scenario would be something in Windows 10 settings where shortcuts can be remapped (or disabled) one-by-one, without registry/group policies.
I wanted to but with my network spam/ad/tracking filters, JavaScript disabled and uBlock, your site doesn't render. Food for thought.
From the experiences described, there’s a sense that corporate threw a bunch of ideas at district managers (or whatever their hierarchy is) without follow-through of trying to identify pinch points and develop a process to correct them.

It might be an issue of mindset within the company. The problems described seem regional (overcrowded stores, shady/burnt-out retail staff in some areas; positive experiences in others) that each need a separate approach but are lumped together in Apple’s one-size-fits-all approach to everything.

I predict that Apple will close their retail stores by the end of the decade, citing improved logistics). Apple products will continue to be sold at third-party retailers until the company folds or pivots in another 10 years.
I would suggest looking into Pesso-Boyden Therapy, which deals with such "holes in roles" - the missing experiences at the right age with the right person - by creating synthetic memories. It's quite an intense thing when a person suddenly gets exactly the experience they were missing for years, just by giving people, in a therapeutic setting, roles to act out.
The outcome of an experiment and it's reproducibility over n independent repetitions.
I used to work for a defense contractor and was involved in several proposals. A similar situation happened to us. RFP was written in a way that strongly favored our product. The proposal team thought we were the only contractor that could deliver the requirements and we priced it to reflect that. We lost to a competitor we didn’t even anticipate (a new entry into the space) and who probably massively underbid us.

I don’t know anything about Amazon’s proposal or if Trump has anything to do with the decision, but I imagine they may have believed all the hype and not priced it as competitively as they should. Or perhaps they misjudged the importance of certain requirements or Microsoft’s capabilities. Regardless, I imagine this was a wake up call at Amazon.

Oh yeah, that contract we lost - we protested it and ended up getting some work out of it after all.
Same here. We are stuck in Watcom F77 right now due to using some old extensions. We are in the middle of eliminating control characters from format statements so we can finally upgrade to new compiler.
It becomes a little more tricky when it is optional, as in this case. The only thing that gets searched is a bag if you choose to bring it to work.

The simple solution for ape is to ban bags at work so nobody gets searched.
Cases like that are why we introduced vouching, which allows the community to restore the good posts made by a banned account.

Incidentally, if a banned account is making only good posts, we're happy to unban it. I often look at the recent commenting history of banned accounts in the hope of finding such cases, and users sometimes email us about them (as mirmir mentioned elsewhere in this thread). That's super helpful!

One strange phenomenon is that there are banned accounts that post good comments, but revert to posting bad comments that break the site guidelines as soon as we unban them. Then we ban them again and their comments get good again...go figure. Any large-enough population sample includes a long tail of behaviors.
COS’s platform, the Open Science Framework, hosts large amounts of data in addition to the preprint itself. It’s more of a “scientific workflow platform” than a “preprint service”.
Pivots are like scientific experiments. You should have a hypothesis that you're testing with every pivot. Business Model Canvas is great for this - just pick something and pivot on that, see if it ends up better.

The goal of a startup is Product-Market Fit, which is where you're exhausted because people are trying to throw money at you and you can't keep up with the demand. If you're the one throwing money at them, you probably have to keep pivoting.

My favorite source of inspiration is to look what people are hacking together, but badly. If people are building Facebook Groups around remote work, that suggests that there's demand for remote work sites. If people are taking months off production to integrate chat into their site, that means the current chat SaaS solutions aren't doing the trick.
15-20% of people who get this illness require hospitalisation. In the worst case scenario where it infects a billion people... you can do the maths. There is a huge potential for disruption to production and supply chains, especially in developing countries with developing healthcare systems.

If this situation gets out of control, it could trigger a global recession. Nobody is buying much from Wuhan for the foreseeable future. Imagine what would happen if it spreads across Asia.

the great thing about the web is universality. no one controls the platform yet. although, that could change, as browser engines consolidate. The web, also allows you to be OS agnostic. most of my work is done via the browser. with the only native programs I run being a media player eg vlc or smplayer since linux doesn't handle gpu video decoding and some terminal windows. with tools like Figma etc. Web programs are here to stay and win. Though we suffer a regression in usability with people who abuse tools like React etc
I quickly skimmed some of your comment history. You are clearly capable of writing much more constructive comments than this. I encourage you to do so :)

It isn't a great look to snidely put down people who have experienced difficulty and are simply trying to understand themselves better.
I learn about Actor model via Elixir/Erlang.

A good place to start is perhaps learning Elixir and eventually move to OTP and it's actor model.

Actor are just processes in Erlang/Elixir (underlying implementation is a thread that doesn't share anything) that isolate logic (self contained) and if it goes down it doesn't take any thing else down. So it's OO that way. It helps that functional paradigm good practices is small compose-able function that does one thing. You compose these functions into a logic and wrap it in these processes and treat them like objects.
The term "in-place" almost always means O(1) additional space, whereas this uses O(n) additional space.

I would note that these companies were likely paying a Chinese company's American subsidiary for these services.

Paying an American company—and such a subsidiary shell company, despite being purely a legal fiction, is still an American company—for its services, no matter who owns it, should not result in China being taught how to build your tech; and it's not the responsibility of other American corporations to ensure it is. If such bad things happen, that's the fault of the American government for allowing the business relationship between the foreign company and its American subsidiary to exist, in light of clear treaties (WIPO, for one) that require the American government to embargo trade with countries that don't comply with them.

By analogy: it's not your web browser's responsibility to protect its memory from other processes snooping on it. That's the OS's job. If another process can read your process's memory, it was a failure on the OS's part. The process shouldn't be expected to be spending resources securing its memory; it should be expected only to pay its dues to the OS (in e.g. context switches) such that this gets handled for it.
