I hope I'm not even half the way to my deathbed and already regret how much time I spend on games (and the knock-on effects).

It's not that playing games (incl Factorio) doesn't feel satisfying. But the time we have is pretty much the only finite thing in life and thus what we can do is limited. Spending time somewhat deliberate seems like a good idea.

Again, that doesn't mean playing games is bad. It can be a great source of joy and broaden your horizon, just like other media. But moderation is key. Spending time in ways that allows us to meet people/ learn skills (we might even use professionally)/etc will probably have a bigger impact on our lives down the line than the 2000th hour of playing Factorio.

You're copying the wrong behaviour. The marketing staff at XCorp engage in all kinds of marketing that you likelh don't want;the behaviour you are describing is either a deliberate brand awareness campaign, or an accidental pursuit of likes/follows ignoring engagement (often an easy way to boost your appraisal).

For small companies and projects:

Focus on your niche. If it isn't relevant, don't send it. Determine a relevance bar and stick to it (when you get settled you can try playing with this if you care)

Set a limit to how much you send, and over which channels. Set a target as well. Don't lower quality to meet target.

Set up triggers for relevant events (your competitors trending, HN/core forum discussions on your topic) and have a small list of things to do when they happen.

I agree that it should matter. I just meant we don't need to know what warehouse it is in to know it was stolen for reelection purposes. It's disgusting, people are dying directly because of this behaviour.
I find just the opposite, myself. It is not satisfying to clean a gunked up carb or change a dirty filter or spark plug. To me it feels like irritating drudgery I am forced to undertake because of the physical limitations of reality that cause these problems. Abstract "machines" and systems built from them like factories in factorio or software do not degrade, they do not get dirty, they do not wear. I can focus entirely on creating solutions to problems rather than constantly going back and doing boring routine maintenance on something I already had working.

> It turns out, for many of the scripts we are interested in (Indic-like ones), we have to deal with a word list of around a million items or less to cover all of Wikipedia! That was great, because now I could run the entire test suite for, say, Hindi, and it would take 10 seconds to run [...] For the two years since we have use this test-driven methodology for all changes to the Indic-related shaping logic and has been able to constantly improve the quality of the shaper release after release.

So even if you have a great infrastructure in place, it is still years of tuning.

Hello,

Disabling PSP in such a case would be subjective.
Ryzen doesn't support cache as RAM anymore, with the PSP doing RAM initialization. The furthest that you'd be able to is getting a minimal PSP firmware that only handles system bringup.

Some OEMs currently propose an option to disable the PSP <-> main processor communication interface during bootup.

In my experience it's not generally so easy, depending on your employer though. Some allow blanket 80%/75%/50% jobs for others it's hard work to persuade them to let you scale down your hours.

Can't say how common it is, I obv. have a limited set of past employers to look at. Some friends have said their company doesn't do it, and when I talked to Swiss people it seems a lot more common there.
Defacto, it used to be the case that states had the ability to select their own rules regarding juries. Some states required unanimous verdicts and some did not.

Now, it is likely the case that defacto states do not have that ability. Since America broadly follows rule of law, I think it is highly likely that this decision will be enforced.

According to the supreme court, it was never legally the case that the states had that right, and the states will have to decide how to respond with respect to the incorrectly convicted people. But many people were put in prison on the basis of majority verdicts and this decision doesn't give them their time served back - it only changes the future. So the op is right to consider that something has changed and states are likely to be unable to do something that they used to do.

It is surely not a hill I would want to die on, and I surely do not think a state should have a right to preserve white supremacy.[] It seems we all knew what the right to jury trial meant, and conservatives have been arguing for the court to consider the originalist meaning.

[] I don't think a majority verdict necessarily needs to have any relationship with white supremacy, and I'm aware that other countries have found other paths. I also don't think procedurally valid court cases need to have unanimity. But if you sign up for a constitution that guarantees convicts a jury trial and you demand conservative interpretations what outcome do you really expect?
The bizarre part is that if you mention to the people making visual studio that every version is slower and has more latency and lag in the interactivity, they seem to have no idea what you are talking about and ask what specific situation you are running in to.

Just pointing out to you and people replying that you guys have already degenerated into just the sort of data-point-cherry-picking-with-no-comprehensive-knowledge-base debate that HN User markbnj was talking about.

We don't have the data was markbnj's point. (I'd go even further and say most of the people on HN don't even know what data would be good to have, and wouldn't have the capacity to comprehend the full meaning of those datasets even if we did have them.) He's also correct when he posits the very strong likelihood that the people who do have the data and the capacity for actionable understanding thereof, don't spend their days on trivialities like posting to HN right now.

He's right, they are busy. They're doing the real work of extricating us from this situation and they need a bit of space. Adding more pressure on them right now is not necessarily going to help. In tech terms, it's like working on a giant software release with features that have never before been implemented, (coronavirus), and telling your boss, (the people), you're not sure you can hit the release date 4 weeks from now.

Then your boss decides to help you by only requiring you implement the most difficult features, and moving the release date up to friday.

> Taking the time to master your tools is a COMPOUNDING benefit

this is problematic, and the problem is made obvious when you take this fact to its natural conclusion.

are you juggling credit cards to simultaneously maximize the benefits of opening new cards with promotional offers, limiting your interest rates, and maximizing your credit score?

have you investigated the air quality of your working and living spaces? do you know the optimal concentrations of O2 and CO2? do you have plants around you that provide other benefits besides air quality? do you even know what those compounding benefits are?

what about your spinal posture? do you know about wrist shoulder hip and knee angles? do you know how this impacts bloodflow and neuromuscular activation? maybe you just run and/or stretch for 30 minutes a day and call it good enough?

Notably, Hackintosh also doesn’t work between Intel generations. I wanted to downgrade to 10.9, but my Skylake machine couldn’t run anything below 10.11. I had to build a new machine around a Haswell cpu and motherboard.

Now, the Skylake machine was able to run 10.9 in VM. (And much older than 10.9—-I got Tiger to boot in VMWare, although it liked to randomly kernel panic. I don’t quite understand why VM’s are different in this regard.

> There are, like DuckDuckGo. But the first complaint is usually "their results aren't as good as Google" and that's because Google in reality still gives better results because of their (lack of) privacy.

Alternative hypothesis: people only have had Google as reference for years, which means that Google represents "reality" to them. Anything that looks even slightly different is therefore worse.
I think the point being implicitly made in the case of streaming, is it's to help fight against ISPs that are categorising and throttling/charging for channels of bandwidth.
> The most accurate data about the fatality rate of covid-19 may come from the Diamond Princess cruise boat where everyone has been tested. The 60-to-80 year old infected passengers had a fatality rate of ~2%. There was no fatality among the infected much younger crew.

The trouble with this assertion is that we don't know if it is statistically valid. Consider the number of crew to the number of passengers on a typical cruise ship. If there were only 20 crewmembers, is that enough to form a valid conclusion of "young people don't die from this disease"?

Furthermore, were emergency services able to help every infected passenger on board? Yes, the fatality rate was 2%, but how many were infected and required treatment?

The big issue in the states is that if enough people (just 1% in some areas) require treatment, the hospital systems will be overwhelmed and people who have a treatable illness will die due to lack of available resources. So the best thing society can do is either self-isolate to prevent the spread of COVID-19, or hospitals can somehow advocate for legislation to refuse patients with COVID-19 symptoms to prevent their resources from being overwhelmed.

Self-delusional marketingspeak. To me 'Vercel' sounds like a brand of cheap batteries.
The COVID-19 infection fatality rate in the 18-45 group is at least 0.11% in NYC. And that's assuming that everyone single person has been infected, that no-one else is going to die from now on and that the estimates are not going to be revised upwards because of under-reporting.

The infection fatality rate for seasonal flu [edit: in the slightly older 18-49 group] is around 0.2% considering symptomatic cases, and probably there are as many asymptomatic cases which give 0.1%.

So yes, it's not impossible for the infection fatality rate to be similar. With some strong assumptions including that it's five times as contagious. So yes, it's not impossible for the acumulated lethality over five years to be similar. And if you extend the period the common flu will be much more dangerous, specially as this young people became older.
That's really interesting, if i'm understanding this correctly it's basically another form of compression leaking information about the underlying data. Would they need to pad everything to a deterministic size or would they just need to change some early parameters during the encoding process to throw off the rest of the chain?

But in the end it still doesn't mean TLS isn't worth it for all the other benefits (not that you implied that).

Norway abandoned juries recently, and in a perfect example of why the last case decided by jury involved a case where the jury provably returned a verdict that was logically impossible (two questions that were dependent in such a way that one of the four combinations was impossible if they followed instructions; the jury returned the one impossible combination)

The "new" system is a variation of what has long been used for non-jury cases, with some variation: A panel of judges where a minority are professional, legally trained judges and the majority are "lay judges" drawn from effectively the same pool as the juries. The total number of judges on the panel depends on the type of case and potential length of a sentence. They all deliberate together.

When face to face with someone every possible audio frequencies emited by the other person will reach you. This means your brain won't have much work to do to make sense of this information since it is 'complete'.

In a zoom meeting in most cases everybody is on his laptop using the built in laptop microphone. This means the sound will be mediocre at best concidering there isn't any network issue. Voice quality will be compressed and lack certain frequencies that you don't notice but help you decypher more quickly the other person speech.

That means that the brain energy necessary to only be able to understand the person in a zoom meeting for the same amount of time is more important than in a real life meeting.

People on average (including the demographic you are talking about) do defer making big capital purchases in this type of environment - it’s the “conserve money in case the worst happens” attitude.

Of course there is a demographic who are wealthy enough that a Tesla wouldn’t be a big capital purchase for them. But I don’t think that demographic alone is enough to sustain them as a business.

In addition, with governments likely to be looking for cost savings in the coming years, subsidies for electric cars aimed at or claimed by “rich people” (thinking about some European markets here) look like an easy target politically speaking.

What might offset that for Tesla is potential for them to grow in China but that’s a difficult one to predict.

The main repercussion of 9/11 was the US collectively going crazy, starting wars and taking away civil liberties. And western fiction getting so dark and dystopian ever since. But outside the US, Iraq and Afghanistan, nothing substantially changed for anyone.
