This has been my experience with a lot of these indie open source hardware projects. They are awesome for tinkering but often suck for regular use. I think the task of building a laptop is just too much for small teams and they can't afford to put the good quality parts in because they aren't ordering 1 million of the part.

For now I'll stick to buying a proprietary dell laptop and putting linux on it myself. My Dell XPS has been getting regular firmware updates over LVFS in the 2 years I have had it.

You’d be dead, without water for two weeks. Slight difference between a withdraw and a biological need, no?
Although I'm from Spain I totally look like a gringo

I can't help but wonder if a Spanish accent buys you some cred in Latin America that other gringos don't get.
That was a bastardization of the original one on 4chan's /x/. This one is the real one:

> It has been reported that some victims of torture, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren’t being tortured. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP.
I can hit Muir Woods-esqe outdoors areas (that are much less busy), wineries, and arts in a day in central New York (the state, not the city). Much cheaper too...
You're aware around 90 percent of the bay area considers to homelessness to be a serious problem.

Citation: https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/08/when-it-comes-to-the-... "89% of residents say homelessness is an extremely or very serious problem — up from 79% the year before"
I like the idea, although I personally won't be using it, I really like that it exists.

From a "freedom" perspective, I think individuals are free to impose their own filters but generally the default should be unrestricted access. That would possibly be with the caveat of the provably vulnerable (children, mental disabilities, etc).

Keep up the good work!
What is FLiNG as opposed to FAANG? This is the first I've seen this version.
It’s not a good comparison at all. Learning lisp or understanding it is a good base knowledge regardless of your primarily language. It’s not a language that’s truly esoteric and difficult to reason about by nature. Metaprogramming/macros can be difficult for those inexperienced, but not impossible. Esoteric languages are often created to either use unfamiliar syntax compared to common languages or unfamiliar paradigms to those. In the end, a lot of things are very similar in nature with esoteric languages, just a very different way, with syntax that’s not as readable as common languages. Lisp is certainly readable and easy to grin even if you have little knowledge of the language
In my experience the site filters are usually limited by query length.
I also used cplusplus.com a lot when learning, and (as far as I can tell) it's basically fine, but cppreference.com has been my go-to for quite a while now. The latter is subjectively more complete/precise/helpful to me (and it's just as a good a reference for C, which is actually what I mostly use it for).

I'm curious what saagarjha's experience is, too.

Beating piracy isn't the goal, maximizing profit is.

Netflix was giving the industry what... 10 dollars per family? They think they can get more than that by splitting into 20 different platforms. They're probably right.
Most of your points here are generally applicable to... anywhere. The homeless problem does seem pretty bad, but again... it's not great in many cities. Anti-vaxxers and closed-minded people are to be found everywhere too.

The tech scene might be "nowhere to be found" compared to the bay, but there are plenty of tech jobs. Folsom is practically founded by Intel, HP has a campus in the area, Cisco has something here, there's an Apple presence in Elk Grove, and there are also plenty of smaller companies.
If a developer is 100% wfh and productive, who cares where they live? FB's stance would seem to alienate the technical talent that they spend a fortune to recruit, train, and keep motivated. Not to mention make anyone who wants to move an easy target for competitors to poach.

Edit: Of course the IRS should care, and employers should want to accurately report domicile. His statement came across as the company being more worried about the exploitation of a corporate compensation loophole than adherence with tax law. Maybe they saw so much initial interest in relocating that they felt they had to pour some cold water on it.
Yep, I'm getting up to $50 total for office supplies.
Can it re-add blacklisted URLs? I would pay for that.
Efficiency means different things to different people. An incomplete list of them (note that these are not mutually exclusive):

a) finishing tasks quickly ("velocity")

b) pushing more code

c) maximizing the work not done

d) reducing rework

e) creating maintainable, reusable code

f) being more productive than other team members

g) authoring new projects / components

Are each one of them the ultimate goal? Let's see:

a) Customers do not buy kanban boards, they buy quality products. A board with finished tasks looks nice, but is your new code production ready? does the result actually make sense?

b) Customers do not buy kSLOCs, they buy featured products. Who will be paying for the maintenance of the new lines of code?

c) Neglecting tasks that increase your productivity leads to "maximizing the work done".

d) Trying to anticipate future requirements can make the code base unnecessarily complex. Implementation is not a substitute for proper requirement analysis.

e) Reusability should not come at the expense of maintainability.

f) Individual productivity should not come at the cost of collective productivity.

g) Before you start a project: can you solve that problem using an existing, robust solution within your budget?

And by budget, remember that that internal projects are not free. They are paid with development time. Paying 10k for a license is cheaper than paying a full time developer.

And actually, you may need more than one developer, for redundancy (bus factor), making your internal project even more expensive.
Yes, can confirm the Tenderloin is worse than the Mission. Take a walk down to Eddy & Leavenworth, especially right after all the homeless and drug abusers have cashed their disability cheques (or on the weekends) and try to walk down the sidewalk without being harassed or your nostrils assaulted by the acrid tang of human piss and fecal matter: https://youtu.be/KUtVz2fIhHM
In my home country Nepal. Cheap cost of living and beautiful places to travel and explore.
This looks like a pretty awesome resource. I think it's well worth it to spend some of your quarantine time on learning the basics of the biology you need to know to understand what's actually going on with the virus that's the reason you're in quarantine in the first place. It's not super productive to try and understand this stuff through analogy to computers and algorithms. Assuming DNA works just like code amd that cells are biological computers turned out to be a very poor assumption indeed, as evidenced by how much less we understand after sequencing the human genome compared to what we thought we would have known. It's also why the secrets of the coronavirus didnt reveal themselves immediately after sequencing it's genome. See the epigenetics section for a bit of an understanding of the layer of complexity that lies on top of DNA, and let's take a moment to appreciate the biochemists and the protein biologists unraveling what makes SARS-COV-2 tick.

If you want to really grok genetics and be able to understand and interpret news and discussion about the field, especially considering how important the field is in our day to day lives, both with the virus and with biotech/medicine in general.
Oakland is still more affordable, probably because the public schools aren't great and commute to the good jobs on the peninsula is pretty painful.

I can work remotely, and I choose to live where I love living. For me, that's Hong Kong (with all its problems). If I wanted to save money, there are a lot of great options in Southeast Asia like Vietnam and Thailand.
Honestly, at this point Google themselves should be offering this.

Not only would it keep people coming back for actually valuable results, but it would feed them with an up-to-the minute listing of sites people don’t trust.
Coffee is a social drink in many countries, and associated with relaxation, meeting people, being creative. And it has been like that since the first coffee houses...
I use a catch-all and mark some handles as spam once a website has been hacked, or the email has been caught by spammers.

I trust you've probably adopted a similar workaround for problem websites.

For throwaway websites (where I use a password I have no intention of keeping track of), I often sign up as "spam@domain".. This is surprisingly blocked in a lot of instances.
This is only a problem for you if you really want to work at Facebook for some reason.
I would work remotely from a small town, away from the fast life of urban areas. Property costs are significantly lower, as with crime and traffic. Possibilities include somewhere on the DelMarVa peninsula. Constraints include 50+ Mbps internet and a newer house without asbestos/lead paint.
> Still, those enterprise junior executives didn't get fired for choosing mainframes!

This!

> Their companies made bad decisions in hindsight, but they (and we) blame those bad choices on IBM having failed to meet the needs of the market, not on whatever random Fortune 500 companies bought S/390's instead of PC servers.

Those companies didn't make bad decisions... the mainframes worked. The might have been more expensive, and slower than a bunch of PC servers, but they did the job. We now know, in hindsight, that PC servers were a better choice, but which one of us is willing to risk our own money/job for something that is currently something new?

There was even a time when tablet computers (think ipad, not x series thinkpads) were "the future of computing", and that "they would replace the need for PCs for everyone"... now (in hindsight) we know that tablets are useless for most people (except for consuming entertainment), and that work computers are still boring PCs with keyboards and mice.
It's smaller, for sure. The population of the whole of Tasmania is 500k, with Hobart just under half of that. Compare the 4m in Melbourne alone (6m through the state of Victoria). NSW has similarly dense population around its capital.

At some deep level, the less centralised approach appeals to me.

I've worked in Melbourne for weeks at a time, but never really lived there. (I've lived in Sydney most of my life, and did 5 years in London.)

Everyone has their own list of things they want around them - that's why I included my rationale. If given the choice to live anywhere the idea of choosing to live in a city would be anathema. But I'm probably in the minority there.
Scientists say Coronavirus is ‘uniquely adapted to infect humans’
Considering homelessness to be a serious problem and considering homeless people to be a problem are very different (and to some extent opposed) things.

Advocates for homeless people think homelessness is a problem. People that oppose dealing with homelessness tend to portray homeless people as a problem.
A context switch not only happens when switching between processes, it also happens when your process does a syscall (so basically whenever it wants to do anything I/O related).

Can you name a few that Liberty doesn’t get around?

They aren’t tethered completely. More semi tethered. I haven’t reconnected any device to a computer to re-jailbreak in many months. Most devices can use unc0ver. In which case you have to be Un-jailbroken for close to 7 days in a row for ReProvision to not renew unc0ver.

So that issue is a pretty big rarity.

This is an interesting report that intrigues me.

Here is 14th May report https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/a... that is referenced below the table.

For some reason they chose to use total from the page 3, 19.155 total by age not 27.321, total by region from page 2. I presume that they do not know the details of about 8000 diseased, but it does not matter when it is the total number.

Again while number of >= 70 year old matches the table on the page 3 - 16559, so do age groups <10 and 10-19 but other numbers do not.

The table on the page 15 contains only 263 from the age group 50-69 but the table on the 14th May report contains 2303. The IFR for this age group would be then 0.32%. Not very big but not negligible either.

Group 20-49 contains only 23 people from the 20-29 but omits 62 people from the group 30-39 and 201 people from the group 40-49. The IFR for this age group would be then 0.03%.

Facebook's board and senior management doesn't seem to have a clear political bias from what I can tell. It would be bad for business if they did; a company that is ultimately seeking to attract the entire world onto its platforms needs to be able to operate across the political spectrum.

These are what immediately jumped to mind when I read what this extension does.
Google does offer this, it's just a filter list to benefit Google, and not you.
Actually, I read both articles. In fact, the author of the first article was my very own distributed systems professor in school. The persisting issue in both articles is a non rigorous specification of when a write actually completed. Both articles point out that a fault tolerant database should be ACID compliant, which does not live up to MongoDB’s claims.
It's a very unusual "character" as it can sometimes be rendered very, very wide- the same width as maybe 20 or so "normal" characters. (whatever "normal" means. The more I learn about unicode...) The same width as if you had typed it out in a sentence.

It breaks a lot of UIs that use character count as a proxy for string width.
You're saying this like it's something new but _outsourcing_ has been a thing for decades. It has always been possible to get software built on the cheap abroad. You get what you pay for.
The Illy I have is below 0.1% Caffeine. I understand that normal coffee is at around 1.1 to 1.2%.
I love the hard-sf in there.

However there are some weird things, like these Dyson-megastructures, that are polyhedral and thus not equidistant to the gravity center:

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4670a60a449d5

Would it not be unstable? Gravity pull and thus orbital velocities would be wildly different at different points of the segments...

I wonder if I can bring the project to "harden" their SF, if this is truly collaborative...

Or, at least, if there are discussion pages where they can convince me of the existence (at this point in future) of suitable techs rendering the megastructure viable ;)
They definitely didn’t beat piracy with Netflix, I’m not even sure they slowed it down much.

Netflix in 2020 is an entirely different service than it was in 2011 back when their library was full of major titles.

The reality is that the owners of content want their own distribution platforms, maybe because they saw what Apple did to the music industry via iTunes, but I’m not sure.
Looking forward to the version on B2B and B2D SaaS companies.
Google used to offer this as a feature in search itself ages ago.

It ended up being removed from the core product and replaced by an extension which they abandoned.

Software raid is better, but it is worth picking up some LSI cards, just to put them in IT mode and pass them all through for software raid.

Most of the cheap SATA cards you can buy have absolute garbage controllers and if you mix them with absolute garbage drives, some terrible failure scenarios occur, I've seen one failing drive take out a whole card, constantly knocking several drives offline in my RAID6 array. This was an absolute hell staring at smartctl and RAID repairs every few weeks until I finally gave up and swapped the controller, once that was done, the single drive failed cleanly and got kicked out without knocking the whole array offline.
I'm with you, but FAAMG sets the tone for the industry. There is a corporate Overton window, and Facebook is an important "thought leader".
Would there really be enough revenue to warrant doing this, considering 1) scraping and hosting that content requires some effort, 2) the content would (should?) be penalized for plagiarism so they would have very little traffic and 3) developers are probably the worst audience to try and monetize with ads due to the prevalence of ad blockers.
I'm really surprised to see Mayo Clinic on here. It's one of the few trustworthy sources of medical info on the internet.
>Actually, I expect to start seeing immutable databases applied to some of these use cases in no time:

Would this cause legal issues, for example, with GDPR deletion requests? I can't imagine that regulators would accept the answer "Sorry, my database doesn't allow me to delete data". So then you would need a way to make a "real delete", which seems like it might erode the benefits described.
That DA got elected by rich parents who paid high prices for their houses to get in a good school district. Do you think they want their school "ruined" by poor kids sneaking in illegally?

That’s a pretty narrow view of NYC. You can be on a beach in an hour or less, any number of state parks in a short time, etc.

California is amazing, but the NY metro area has a ton to offer with a much lower drama factor.
This is spot on, given the fact that the average US household cable bill was pretty outrageous to begin with.
We are living in a post-Covid world. All of the money losing companies are laying off people leaving the FAANGMs that have a real business model and making money the only companies hiring at inflated salaries. Now you have both increased supply because they are expanding outside of the west coast and more “smart people” (tm) who spent years at the leetCode alter looking for jobs. You also have reduced demand with VCs not willing to throw good money after bad anymore.
Making oil is a serious hassle and in some places life already has more than enough authenticity to go around.

I don't think this is about some broader cultural thing around convenience, is it? Isn't it just about legality? Some people actually depend on marijuana on a daily basis, and for those of us that do it's really annoying to have grind up, dry, decarb, cook, strain, etc. every few weeks.
>> as with crime and traffic

So while trafiic may be better and certain violent crimes lower, rural crime is a serious issue; specifically property crime.
W3Schools deserves a break IMO. Sure, it's not the best resource and I wouldn't rely on it when learning new things, but it's handy when you know roughly what you want and need a quick reminder of the syntax.
Thanks! I also saw research where the optimum I think was drinking a cup of coffee in the early afternoon 30 minutes or so before a powernap. This beat (1) No coffee (2) straight coffee, no nap (3) nap, no coffee.

Also, intel did replace CPUs with issues before:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_FDIV_bug

> On December 20, 1994, Intel offered to replace all flawed Pentium processors on the basis of request, in response to mounting public pressure.[5] Although it turned out that only a small fraction of Pentium owners bothered to get their chips replaced, the financial impact on the company was significant.[citation needed] On January 17, 1995, Intel announced "a pre-tax charge of $475 million against earnings, ostensibly the total cost associated with replacement of the flawed processors."[1] Some of the defective chips were later turned into key rings by Intel.[6]
There is something funny going on here.

Lol. Netflix is a joke, every time i sign up again I find it lacking tonnes of content.

It optimizes for flicking through its catalog so nobody notices its missing nearly everything.

It does this to wear you down into submission watching or rewatching some old crap.

I went to watch the last season of the 100 before the new release, found its catalog is two seasons behind. Its a mess.

Everything is factored in the real estate price: the weather, the school district, the night life, the ethnic grocery stores, crime rate etc. and last but not least, the opportunity to change to a new job with much higher comp.

Real estate, while not as liquid as stock market, is quite efficient in my opinion.
