Woohoo been waiting for this for months.

I host pihole on a home server in a docker container and spend 5 mins a month just updating it. No other administration. Definitely use it to get rid of trackers and ads.

The research article say they use the enzyme at 65°C/70°C (150°F/160°F). Also, usually the reaction speed decrease exponentially with the temperature. So your home items are probably fine.
SwiftUI has this list functionality. You just loop over a list of items and set how to show it. SwiftUI will do the rest.
Yeah, a large reason Vista got lambasted so widely was because netbook form factors were gaining steam at the same time, and Microsoft had built it with the assumption that most new users would be using contemporary desktop-class machines. The old assumption that users would throw out their old equipment and upgrade to something in step with Moore's Law was no longer valid.
Real indication of what we should do? Well I can give you my slant. The current monetary tools date back to the depression. The Fed uses two tools: the Fed Funds rate and the secondary repo market. That was fine back in the day when banks drove the economy by making loans. (Remember 'It's a Wonderful Life' with Jimmy Stewart?) There were no credit cards then. No smart phones with internet access to your bank account. The world has moved on but the Fed has not. Banks have morphed into 'financial institutions' and they want to maximize their ROI. So any money they get from Uncle Sam certainly doesn't trickle to retail, rather it goes into equities markets. You get more and more dollars chasing fewer and fewer equities (I am simplifying here-there are a lot more financial tools than equities including bonds, REITS, bitcoin, the dark pools, hedge funds,etc). But the bottom line is you get 'equity inflation'.

The money from the Fed needs to go to the people who will spend it. THAT is what an economy is - when people spend money to get goods and services. Now we have the infrastructure to do this. We need to give every taxpayer a Fed account. When the Fed wants to move the economy (and I mean the REAL economy, the place where people spend the hours of their lives) they need to get the money to the people who will spend it - the consumers. So they could make a monthly stipend to your Fed account. This Fed coin would have a 'half-life' encouraging you to use it before you lose it. Once spent, the actual amount is fixed.

At the very least, we need to get a better handle on our 'gross financial product' as a separate and distinct measure from our gross domestic product. When I read that our GDP increased but we have more unemployment than ever, I think there is some financial trickery going on.

My apologies. I wasn’t implying that it won’t work for everyone; It will. It’s just that for what seems to be a majority of the population, if it doesn’t work, they won’t use it.
One way to learn some of using recursion while using Racket (or any other Scheme) is to:

* avoid the iteration constructs that Racket added to Scheme,

* avoid mutating operations, such as `set!` and those that operate on mutable data types,

* embrace named-`let` for iteration/recursion (using `let` with a name, like `(let loop-for-foo (` rather than `(let (`, which effectively makes it like an embedded function that can be called from within its own definition), and

* embrace immutable data for collections, like immutable pairs and immutable hashes.

You can do that for real-world development, or for interview-oriented Leetcode-type exercises. Whichever motivates one more; with the above suggestions, both will present many opportunities to practice recursion this way, without exercises that are selected or contrived to need recursion.

Wow, thank you for putting 2 and 2 together! We have been bothered by these weird spacing artefacts, but we never figured out that they correlated to line breaks in our source code! That's insane. This gives us a lead to investigate.

And here i was thinking HTML was a bit like LaTeX – mostly whitespace-agnostic! Just shows you what spending too long in academia will do to you.
I think GP is saying that the value of LHC is greater than the marginal value of 2 bombers when you already have 18.

LHC would be one way to use that some of that "waste" in defense spending more wisely.

Regarding "practical" study-- Where you see value in the output of engineering work, those guiding the work of engineers see value in the output of scientific work. If we had more people of the latter type that appreciated the value of scientific work, we might have more productive engineers and developers.
Pango is a Gnome project. They moved to using Harfbuzz and as a result dropped support for bitmap fonts. That hurt not just Gnome/GTK users but whoever else uses Pango and there was user pushback about it.

Pango prior to version 1.44 used kerning hints provided by FreeType but now makes use of the hints provided by HarfBuzz. But HarfBuzz doesn't support all of the hints supported by FreeType and thus a regression for some users depending upon their font hinting preferences and what visibly looks the best to them and their displays.

Remember Pango is a Gnome project.

The performance of financial markets represents an abstract value based on speculation. Stock prices derive from demand that buyers have for those equities. The basis of stock price from the fundamental performance of the underlying company is becoming dwarfed by the belief that the shares have intrinsic value.

They very recently moved to require an special additional app just for installing their new .apks file (which is a file containing multiple .apk inside), called SAI.

That would be fine by me, if it wasn't because SAI requires Android 5.0, while my Nvidia Tegra -like tablet (Xiaomi MiPad 1) is stuck on Android 4.4 :-(

Undefined behavior is different from implementation defined behavior. Code that exhibits UB is not a valid program. Flags that take UB and define it are categorically different than flags that tweak various options, because flags that define UB expand the set of valid programs, where flags that tweak options do not.
It would make sense if the stock market was a self-organizing Ponzi scheme. Let's say I have $10 million in the stock market. I know that if I sell as the market is going down, I may well encourage other people to sell. The market may plunge and all of my stock will be worthless. If I buy at a crucial time - when the market has paused in the process of dropping, I may well influence the market to go up instead.

The greater my fear of a market panic, the more likely I am to try to steer the market - if there is a panic it is game over. The more I have invested in the market, the more influence I can exert. If I know other players are also pursuing the same strategy we can begin to act in unison.

This can also be explained by techno-babble, but if it is true that 10% of the population controls 86% of the stock, then anyone would be a fool not to play this way.

But "you need to set up the Kafka consumer" and "you just need to set up the Kafka consumer" have different meanings.

You're not just pruning, but changing the meaning. The latter implies there is only one thing you need to do, while the former is open ended, and could imply the beginning of a set of needs.

"Just" can also add emphasis. "That's stupid" and "that's just stupid" have different nuance.
Some people have ideal conditions to work in at home.

Some people will stop looking after themselves.
Discoverability matters much less than you think because discoverability is a zero-sum game. If the algorithm favours one type of creator, it necessarily means that it takes 'it' away from another - so the more creators you pile on, the harder it is for any one of them to breakthrough - regardless of how awesome your discoverability algorithm is.

There are some caveats. If the audience is growing relative to the number of creators, you (on average) still have a chance. YouTube also has a huge audience and wide variety of content (much more than Twitch, which is heavily focused on video-game streaming), so it's possible that there are some niches that can still be exploited in a way that you couldn't on Twitch, which is heavily focused on a small number of niches.

None of that takes away from the larger point - it's a race to the bottom when trying to be a viable creator, and the probability of building a big-enough audience to make enough money to even partially support yourself is very very low.

A technique for writing getting words onto paper when you've got writers' block.

Step 1: Ask a question.

Step 2: Give the first answer that comes to mind, including "I don't know."

Step 3: Ask a follow-up question like "how do you know that?" or "what makes this hard to know?" or "really? Why is that?" or "why does that matter?"

Step 4: Answer it

and just keep going like this for 20 minutes until you've gotten used to typing and have started to picture an audience that is curious about the topic.

I've only used it for nonfiction, but I imagine that it could work for fiction too if you put a video of a campfire on.
"What is the fair market value of a specific company" is only part of how stocks as a whole get valued. Roughly speaking, investors have a roughly constant fraction of their money invested in stocks. As more money enters their pockets - via personal earnings, corporate profits, monetary and fiscal policy, etc - investors have to figure out where to park it.

What happened in 2008 is that investors suddenly realized that a hell of a lot of companies were taking way more risk than they thought, and decided to cut their stock allocation to avoid those risks.
Awesome! Feel free to comment in the linked issue if you want some help.
It's apparently a partnership with a big industrial automation company [1]. Perhaps they filed the patent? It sounds like the sort of thing a big corp would try. There is another group doing this, but seem to be unrelated [2].

If there is a patent, I can't find it anywhere (I tried the US and Aus). Nothing obvious under the author's name, or "vanilla" or "geodesic" in the Australian repository. Quite annoying, this is one of those stories that looks really interesting, but all you can find is the regurgitated press release from all the news companies that picked it up.

For violence and its history, and meta analyzes, Behave - The biology of humans by Robert Sapolsky has several good chapters on the history of violence including that of hunter gatherers (chapter "Fractured bones* in particular).
Personally:

- see the first step, the very next step, and that's it. You don't need to know what step 2,748 is about let alone how to solve it to take the next door. (formally: no premature optimization). All you need is the end-goal (general direction) and the next step to move forward, at all times. This considerably narrows the magnitude of freedom/choice locally, which feels comforting.

- Anxiety is "nostalgia about the future". Let that sink in for a minute. It's a "FOMO" regarding a desirable state that you have not yet encountered. There's a word for a more positive take of a slightly different thing: "saudade". In this I find there's a middle ground of acceptance and longing that strikes the right balance to keep a positive mind about the future.

- Make a decision, and stick to it. In other words, be quick to decide but slow to change. The trick in life is not to "do what you love" (or make the decisions you think are right: spoiler, you'll be wrong 50% of the time). The trick is to "love what you do", to learn that mindset, which is how we give a real chance to the paths we take (not half-ass it, not work actively against your own success). If you learn to love all that you do, then suddenly the stakes are very different, and good/bad decisions are more complex, more shaded. That's good, like increasing resolution to better "see". It becomes easier to navigate, like your vessel has a better map.

- Every single decision you made in life, you did your best at the time with the information you had. Nobody tries to fail on purpose, nobody wants to make the wrong decision. Therefore, 1. there is no point in regret, only in learning lessons; 2. Hindsight is 20/20 but has no practical purpose except implemented as action in the present (to solve a real current problem).

Now this is how I "tame" my own mind, when thinking of those things. Stoicism was my entry point into such self-control, self-knowledge to begin with.
There are a lot of video games that are like this. The first time I saw Fifa 2020 on a big screen was a demo in a shopping mall — I thought it was just a group of people watching a live football game. Also, Gran Turismo on the PS4 has a whole bunch of racing tracks rendered in such precise detail that you forget you're just looking at computer generated graphics.

Note that the VIC chip prepares the sprites at the beginning of the scanline so you can’t horizontally multiplex them.

The 3 bytes of bitmap data are loaded into a small buffer that is used up as the sprite is displayed and the buffer isn’t reloaded until the next scanline.

Even though it’s difficult to control, the cpu can manipulate the VIC during the scanline which is how you can turn off the side borders. But you can’t horizontally multiplex the sprites, that’s a limitation of the VIC chip.
Looks interesting. But you can't buy just 1, right?

This is something you have to buy in bulk isn't it?
Yeah, it made me laugh that the OP stated it in such a matter-of-fact fashion, as if it’s normal or good.
Just for clarity, we resorted to C mostly as an experiment to prove our hypothesis that the abstraction and instantiation overhead was genuinely ridiculous. I don't have any of the screenshots to hand sadly now, but the performance traces were just appalling. And this was across the board

Our experiment in C showed that it was possible to implement a simple Android "view" or "control" (however it should be called), in native C, with significantly better performance than Android itself provided. It wasn't intended to be the least effort solution, rather a side project to prove something we always suspected.

RecyclerView is a start, but I believe we still found it slow. The delays from malloc()/free() were very significantly lower in impact, though admittedly we weren't doing them in nested loops or anything. I would like to think using C forced us to think more efficiently and we probably did a few little optimizations (noting it was just a side project) that were a bit like the recycler view does, to create enough memory in advance for a feasible scroll buffer both up and down, and fill it as the user moved.

True, but the Moon's gravity makes a lot of industrial processes easier to adapt. Also, it's easier to keep a human crew around for repairs.
The mandate of the fed is to have maximum employment and price stability. With the impact of social distancing to businesses there was no other alternative to protect employment rather than fed buying securities so the govt has funds for fiscal stimulus to prop up employers that might otherwise go bust (and may still).

The stimulus is intended to protect jobs and livelihoods, not to react to movements in the stock market (even if the current president seems to think so)
I used NewPipe for a while and it was very nice, enjoyed how well it works. However I started wanting to see videos on my TV (Chromecast), and that's where the abilities of NewPipe fell short.

Well that helps me pick my next book to read!

I was looking at Flutter recently and admiring the idea of cross platform (if you're going to use abstractions, at least let's get some benefit from them as developers!), but also grabbed a book about Swift UI too, just to see what was going on in iOS.

That sounds rather pleasant if it is performant (as I imagine it will be on iOS)
Is this still feasible advice in the current economic climate? Everyone I know is either firing or shutting down. I have no problem saying "pay me more", but that's hard to follow up when there are no other jobs to be had.

Why would a game like this have any motion sickness?
Sort of, but not really. The problem is you don't have sufficient information to know what should happen.
One of the main goals[1] of the LHC was finding the Higgs, which it has done. Another goal was to look for the matter-antimatter asymmetry, where it has[2] and will likely continue to find interesting things.

So as such it has had decent success I think.

Another goal was to look for supersymmetry. While the LHC so far has excluded large sections of the possible parameter space for supersymmetry, I don't think it was unreasonable to think at the time LHC was designed that it had a decent chance of finding evidence for supersymmetry.

However given how things are looking currently, maybe effort should be focused on the areas where we know there's something weird, such as neutrinos[3], as well as astronomical searches such as LIGO[4] which can constrain Beyond Standard Model physics.

Zoom works fine except the 2 times I tried to give a presentation to our extended team of ~40 engineers at which point it locked up my session and left a zombie connection behind so I couldn’t rejoin. Having that happen twice when some important people were on the call naturally led to “Zoom works for everyone else except you, and you are using Linux so ...”.

They also broke SSO on Linux for several weeks recently which was annoying, but at least they fixed it in the end.
