I talked a lot with my mother, and as a result we could talk about pretty much anything, including stupid prototypes ^^ I think if I had only talked to her once or twice a year, she wouldn't have become as much of a friend and confidant as she was. If either of us repeated themselves a lot, the other would simply call them out on it.

Don't take this as me guilt tripping you though. People are different, and I'm not saying it's your fault that your family made you feel trapped. But where you can, be generous and patient. We'll all get old and find out why old people repeat themselves so much, if we get lucky.
I pasted it in the reverse Google image search and it seems to be Marismas Nacionales Nayarit in Mexico.
>> "Like how the file explorer has a built in terminal that follows the folder you're in."

You can type cmd + enter in any Explorer address bar and Windows will start a command prompt in that folder. It's not the same, but at least simplifies things.

Primary Production: Index of Climate Change in the Ocean–Estimates over 20 Years
Potential CRISPR damage has been 'seriously underestimated,' study finds
I switched some years ago to KDE from Gnome. The only thing I wish I had from Gnome is the quality of text rendering.

Maybe it’s subjective, maybe it’s a measurable thing. I’ve not looked, but I feel KDEs text rendering is worse on my daily driver.
There's still a valid point in there that we should take the underlying need seriously, not the proposed solution of reopening.

For example, a solution could be as simple as America financially supporting its citizens like other countries have done, reducing the desperation that's causing the pressure to reopen sooner than they likely know is safe. Don't make it a lesser of two evils choice in the first place.

Reminds me of something I read on here about assuming a strong man version of people's arguments instead of a straw man one. Maybe they're knowingly protesting because they believe those are the only choices they have.
I work out at home with dumbbells, door frame chin-up bar and a mat. But boy do I miss having the whole bunch of equipment that lets me vary up my routines to keep things interesting and hard at the same time.

Incidentally I'm nearing the middle of the GoodLife Fitness 30-day Ab Challenge. If you asked me to do 65 ab crunches followed by leg lefts AND planking without stopping for a rest a couple weeks ago, I'd laugh because no, no I wouldn't be able to do that. But I can now. When its done and over, I will be able to more than double that, which seemed impossible before, but no longer does.

So all is not lost. After this challenge, I'll have to find another one to stay motivated until the gym opens and is safe enough to attend.
What about people who bought a low-to-mid range laptop last year? While 8G isn't .5G, it's still low enough that you'd quickly hit swap (a bloated modern browser + multimedia authoring tools)

Tracking "current" desktop hardware is a quick way to get yourself another vista.
> But they didn’t feel familiar to me.

I'm shocked by this, especially when the alternative here is GNOME. You can put a lifelong windows user in front of a plasma machine and they will be able to figure it out easy. There is a start menu, a bottom taskbar, all the window buttons are where they belong, etc.

Contrast with gnome, where you can't get anything done unless you already know the magical keyboard shortcuts.

Plasma gets criticized often for having too many configuration options and too many features, which I think is just insane. It works perfectly well out of the box, but it allows you to tinker to your heart's content.
Portland had this before the pandemic, maybe partly due to the size of the restauarant/food service industry here. Some examples include http://www.rinellaproduce.com/products.html and https://www.sheridanfruit.com/. They're wholesalers but have always been open to the public.

Our local restaurants also jumped quickly into selling meal and beverage kits alongside single takeout/delivery meals, and breweries expanded shipping options to serve individual homes. Meat and vegetable farms too, most of which already had the infrastructure through CSAs/farm shares.
How would you distinguish using science-qua-epistemic-method between a world where all claims of causal regularity were false and a world in which scientist were actively deceived?
I don't see why being addicted or suicidal makes someone unworthy of love.

Money is not nutritious when eaten.
This is how I'm modelling things that I'm learning. I'm defining types (in Haskell) and functions that map those types to other types. Even if I don't write the implementation of the functions, that still gives me a clearer idea of the domain.
What about things like spotlight? If I work in healthcare and I search for "Jane Doe medical records.txt" does part or all of that search end up hitting a webservice somewhere?
Never thought I’d see a mewithoutyou lyric on HN. This community never ceases to surprise me! (:

The Fox, the Crow and the Cookie is still one of my favorite songs.
The other option is that shitty and abusive parents are the default.
I don't understand that at all. Just have a "warning to parents: this is a sandbox game and may feature any shape - including body parts - built from Lego". 99% of parents wouldn't be bothered, surely?

Every kid who has two opposite sex parents knows from toddler-hood what a penis and vulva look like, why is it such a problem??
South Korea’s Early Coronavirus Wins Dim After Rash of New Cases
To play the devil, how is history scientific? I mean as far as we know theres only one history. And parts of it are not known to us. But in absence of recorded accounts (and even in the face of them), aren’t we bound to interpretation? Science measures the tangible. History isn’t.
There was an article that I saw yesterday, CBB to dig it up that said if only 80% of Americans wore masks we could nearly rid the country of corona virus.

That's all it takes. Such a simple thing. We can't have full re-opening while we have self-ish protesters who revel in spreading the disease and make a mockery of public health. If they'd have some personal responsibility or if stores would just take the initiative nationally to require masks for every patron, we'd be over this by fall, and subsequent waves wouldn't be so bad.

A post from someone in my hometown yesterday on facebook had a guy boycotting great clips because they made him put on a mask to step foot inside and he had to make an appointment. (State law now for all stylists/barbers/etc.). All it takes is respect of others AND the virus to stop this thing. Why can't people do this?
Systems Over Goals: reframing the way we look at progress
AFAIK leaving the text translation feature enabled (even if you disable for a particular language) is even more of a risk.
Recommendation: Show the returns for each senator with the S&P 500 and Berkshire Hathaway performance as reference lines.

I'd be interested to see the senators who have a better track record than Buffett while in office.
> It is reminiscent of of various sites that showcase their products on specific phones and laptops.

This is especially annoying because it implies the user is not part of the software's target audience. The developers use Apple and everyone who doesn't is an afterthought.
Super conductors, semiconductors, cosmology, qm (including computing), and optics to name a few. There's still significant research to be done in all these fields, and more.
I guess I could be more clear. In industrial FPGA applications the goal usually isn't the CPU, the goal is to implement the required logic while keeping the number the gates needed for this to a minimum, and implementing a simple CPU (a.k.a. PSM) is what makes it possible. Same here: the CPU only serves as the economical way to implement something else (another CPU, in this case).
People ask that question all the time, and I don't get why. I hate HCL, I hate the verboseness, the limited capacity for abstraction, that its yet another proprietary format, everything reminds me of ANT.

I want infrastructure as code, not infra-as-yaml. I want types checked by the compiler, as is good and proper. Apparently many people don't feel that way though?

To me, Pulumi is a godsend.
I'm reminded of Motel of the Mysteries, which has been posted on here before, in which a future archaeologist stumbling across the remains of a late twentieth century motel concludes that everything from the television to the toilet must have had some kind of religious significance.
How much time and how many people were required to develop Delphi version 1?
No one can say masks would have that effect. Not enough evidence (yet?)
I thought senators used blind trusts. I guess some don't?
The .ignore plugin and the GitHub repo it is built around I think do the job well enough by having a list of suggestions. I may actually have a private repo and have all the settings on both computers that I use.
Harfbuzz isn't a GNOME project. It's used by GNOME, KDE, Chromium, LibreOffice, and several other projects. The entire open source text rendering stack depends on it at this point.
Just because you have choices doesn't mean that each choice has the same level of opportunity. Sort the list of choices based on level of opportunity or probability of success and just work on the list in that order.

A good leader or a good strategizer can pretty quickly figure out which choices has the best opportunities and narrows down based on that. If you have a hard time determining the level of opportunity or the probability of success, then THIS is the skill you need to develop.
Thanks, I understand that microcode is one of two ways to implement the control unit on a CPU.
My question was more of if a CPU only has "a spartan eight hardware instructions" and microcode is used to implement each of those eight hardware instructions how does that allow the ISA to be greater than the original eight instructions?
> there's nothing I miss from X11, any specifics?

There are plenty of applications that still depend on Xwayland, and the nvidia proprietary can't accelerate these. There are some other weird stability issues related to the nvidia driver as of mid last year at least. Wayland is missing a bunch of features from X, which bothers some people. I personally miss network transparency from X. That said, I do run wayland full time, and have for a few years now. I just can't recommend it without reservations.

I can't comment on catalyst, or AMDGPU on current generation AMD gaming graphics cards. What I can say is that you can pretty much blindly assume that whatever gpu you want to buy will work well under Windows.

> IMO Intel is generally very well supported

I would add AMDGPU to that list as well. Still, AMDGPU is new, and Intel doesn't offer a high end graphics card. nVidia proprietary causes problems, such as those it causes for wayland. I am very happy with my AMDGPU compatible WX2100 for linux, but it is certainly not a good gaming GPU.
No disagreement here.

I don't use gnome desktops, for similar reasons (although I'm also not the target audience for adopters, as I currently use Linux as my primary desktop environment!)

I use cinnamon, as, for my personal preferences, it strikes the best balance between familiarity, 'prettiness' and functionality of the options I've tried.
I’m glad that has been your experience. It has not strictly been mine.
The Price of Covid Freedom May Be Eternal Spying
Reminder to the professional class: Money is not nutritious when eaten. There is only so much that financial support can do when productivity and efficiency are slashed.

It may seem like everything will blow over if the Uber Eats fairy magically manifests food in exchange for currency at the homes of Americans, but for money to function there must also be productivity.
Thanks for checking it out!

I was working on the preview button before my server crashed from the extreme traffic :D I will deploy it soon.

About the pricing, we don't have set in stone amount right now but we will be nice to our early-adopters, I promise!
Debian is a great distro that works, does what it is told.
I think you should be proud of the dignity you gave her. No one can stop death but we can give dignity to people we love or feel gratitude towards, and it sounds like whatever job you did, no matter how good or bad the fact that you were there gave her dignity at the end of her life.
You don't seem to grasp "science" is just another word for "figuring out how the universe works".

Imagine we all lived on a smaller planet and are star was going to blow up real soon now(tm) the only way we could save ourselves from extinction would be through science.

There's no other "method" of truth seeking and technological advancement to develop technologies to become space-faring race.

We can't believe the bible to mars. A better idea may be that the human brain is flawed in ways that human beings are unaware of because they are not scientifically informed enough about their own mind and its limitations and constantly think nonsense through no fault of their own.
Very limited experience with Infiniband but it seems similar, a bit more flexible (esp recently with more syscalls supported).

Also similar to but more general than RIO Sockets of Win8+:

Pretty cool!

How would one accomplish the following with pyp?

* Wait until one sees a line with a start marker (say 'start:')

* Perform on an operation on the lines until an end marker ('end:') is reached.

Would you do a whole-input operation on stdin to extract the relevant lines first and then operate on the individual lines? Or would you maintain boolean conditionals within the loop?
One f###ing chest x-ray in France?! Anyone heard of "false positive? Jeez!

Likely more CCP propaganda to deflect tagging China as the source of Covid-19:

- a Chinese writer from Hong Kong,

- a publisher recently purchased by Alibaba, supportive of the CCP.

Given another year's time, CCP propaganda will have us all believing that China saved the world from "Covid-19" and that it first flew out of a Frenchman's ass after he ate too much green cheese.

"Covid-19" came from mainland China; it is properly called the "Chinese flu" or the "Wufan flu" and the Chinese own it; calling it "Covid-19" is a fool's errand.

The problem with the "actively deceived" scenario is that it defeats science, so demanding that we use science to determine whether or not scientists are actively deceived would mean that we have not quite understood the point.
Every pub has that one guy who tells outlandish stories about his incredible overly-exciting life. Nobody believes a word he says, but it is part of the entertainment you pay for in each pint.

As we now save a whole lot of money on store-bought booze, we begin to understand, and truly miss the bar markup and tipping costs.
Why is your first inclination towards censorship? Your comment is not worth of a person who thinks of themself as intelligent and thoughtful. Best keep it around so we know your true colors.
What?

You literally said you have only a limited amount of experience with KDE (from 'undefined' time ago), and yet you felt qualified to opine on its suitability for X... now?

What?
Why would you assume that I’m assuming everyone is evil?

I’m just assuming that people generally follow incentives and thus averages will reflect them. If you need any evidence for “People follow incentives”, we have full branches of studies built on that premise.

My guess would be that you’re assuming I think people would lie, and you find lying reprehensible (I don’t).

In any case, IMO the biggest problems here are that apples to apples comparisons are very hard to make, and long term effects are essentially unknowable.
We (the Czech Republic) and many neighboring countries did just that - the borders have been closed for everyone since middle of March, with police and army making sure this emergency meassure is observed. Only goods trains and trucks are let through and even they are often checked for compliance (driver has no fewer, etc.). Even cross border workers had to either stop commuting or arrange temporary accomodation on the other side of the border.

So it is definitelly possible to "emullate an island" even in the middle of Europe, and it seems to have worked for the countriws that did it - daily case numbers are staying low, death toll is really low, so some of these restrictions are slowly being rolled back, with cross border bis and train lines resumming from 15th of May.
It is both. I used to like being able to confine work to work and fun to home. I don't like them both mixing with WFH.

My leisure was climbing, soccer and hanging out with friends...all 3 of which have come to a complete halt.

My room itself is in a terrible location, in that the windows don't face sunlight and face someone else's house. The common spaces are busy, since I live in a group house and don't have a separate study to work in.

I might have been less affected by WFH if I had made the transition more willingly. But, it being imposed on me while I am incredibly underprepared makes it a worse.
I'm still rocking a 7 year old Samsung Chronos with 8GB RAM and KDE5 flies.

There used to be a time when the real world footprint between KDE and XFCE was significant but that's not been the case in a long time.

These days the footprint of your average desktop chat client has dwarfed the difference in memory usage between most of the major desktop environments. So if you're looking for places to cut corners that would be the first place I'd suggest looking.
Threat hunt in Linux/macOS/Windows with Brim importing pcap or zeek logs
Leaving aside the disturbing American trend of minimizing the value of the elderly, your math is based on comparing with life expectancy at birth. You should instead be looking at life expectancy at time of death, which is significantly higher (a decade or more).
Whenever i've tried KDE my favorite experience has been on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Its a rolling distro, but provides a really nice installer and stable experience because of their automated QA process. The KDE stack is provided as intended by upstream without much customizations (they use their wallpaper for the lock screen and desktop), and the updates are quick. If you try it, you might also like their support for btrfs + snapshots. If an update isn't to your liking, it'll allow you to boot into an old snapshot and rollback.

I still use tumbleweed, but with Gnome and this has been my distro of choice for the past couple of years. (I moved from Ubuntu)
I’ve watched Rashomon and you won’t fool me: there’s n! histories where n is ~ population.
Almost all these arguments have the same basic structure.

1. We depend on X
2. X is provided by free trade and the open market.
3. Quarantine hurts free trade and the open market.
4. Therefore, ongoing quarantine hurts X.

While the argument is sound, removing or reducing the quarantine (ie, solving point 3) is not the only solution. You can also change point 2, on a case by case basis, and remove the supply chain dependence on markets, money, profit, and capitalism.

Of course, someone who is "pro opening the economy" will be unable to accept this option on ideological or often self interest grounds, and thus try to reduce the option space to a simple binary, because mass death is better then the replacement of an economic paradigm from which they have benefited so.

It is 100% to the point and nothing has changed in 6 years since (and not only on debian), except that the mess is being solved by docker. Which is crazy. And windows is heading into same direction (when I have seen the manifests the first thing I have said was... omg... .dll.1.4.3)

Just additional info, to help you get into my mindset - system level developer for linux AND windows for 25 years.

Go-go-go man!
An idea seems interesting, having a simple product just to store all quotes should be a cool thing for small businesses.

What I would personally add:
- Use GIF/carousel instead of an image on the landing page so I can use what exactly the product does
- Add some kind of API (really basics) to integrate a product into other solutions
The Getaway came close on PlayStation 2 back in 2002. Gameplay wasn't great, but it featured a very realistic (in its time) rendering of 10 sq miles of central London.

Public health is a constantly changing landscape made up of frequently shifting inputs and analysis. It’s only in recent decades that our desire for absolutes has really given people the idea that these things should be simple.

Every country on earth has to move the goalposts during a pandemic — this is a sign the system is still working.
It's definitely up since early March. It's likely that testing capacity has been the limiting factor on case count for most of this time.
Give Google Earth VR a try, on a recent headset. Where Google has captured data by flying over the terrain in aircraft, the effect is astonishing. It's as if Google swept a giant LIDAR over everything, mapping every nook and cranny.

I hope a VR mode will be available for FS2020 (I tried to check the latest situation on Google, who helpfully showed me an ad for a PHYSICAL hands-on hysteroscopy simulator!)
Where did my wedding take me
Well, if there was a way to bypass it, I never found it. Often when I shut down, it gave me the "windows is updating, please wait and don't turn your computer off" message with no options.
It’s a shame modern file systems don’t generate and store common hash algorithms as file metadata.
Thanks a lot!

I'm aware that owning a business means much more work and I'm willing to put in the necessary effort. Maybe I will go nomadic, work in part of the day and travel in the remaining hours. Possibilities are endless.
A few years too late. Pity it wasn't discoverable, because I never knew about it. I'm happily running anything but windows nowadays. (MacOS for work, Linux at home)

If this day really mattered to someone, they wouldn't need a post to tell them to do so.
I agree with you, unfortunately. Obviously Linux has a great deal of flexibility, but the basic tools one relies upon for audio editing either aren't there or are significantly handicapped. I once tried a basic project idea on my linux laptop to see how well I could get it to work; after three days it was almost usable. The same project took me an hour on my Mac with Logic Pro X.
Its extremely frustrating how we continue to be lied to and continue to having moving goalposts.

There is a real question whether we should try to squash curve or let it spread.

I would rather squashing the curve, but I don't think we as Americans have the discipline to squash it.

KDE works much better for me, personally. Just avoid the aboslute shitshow that is Kubuntu. (I know they try hard, but...)

Go for a distro that follows upstream more closely.
Despite KDE is my desktop of choice nowadays (and XFCE is what I always retreated to when Ubuntu switched DEs or when something stopped working), I don't really get why does Ubuntu Studio have to use a DE different from that of the default Ubuntu.
