Memory used on Windows doesn't mean the same as on Gentoo. Most of that is cached files and it will be discarded when a program needs that memory directly. Empty memory is wasted memory, using 70mb of memory in a 32GB machine is an anti-feature. You should be caching.

My problem with OSes like Gentoo is they give you the illusion of teaching you how OSes work when you're actually just learning the structure of a decoupled Linux system. RAM caching is basic stuff (and there's basically no reason not to do it), if Gentoo was a good educational pipeline users should not be coming out with gaps in their knowledge like that.

IMO OSes like Gentoo mainly teach you how to plug together artificially isolated components (which preclude cross-cutting concerns & optimisations that rely on the structure of large sections of the system being known & predictable) and give you the illusion of understanding, while wasting a huge amount of your time debugging problems that are superficial. It's like installing a bunch of (fragile) pip packages and thinking you've learned Python. I would bank on the average Gentoo user being unable to actually write a significant OS component, and I think that's a much more useful metric than knowing how Linux plugs together.

Monitoring of Manual Workers Using Deep Learning
I have 3 hats: A seaweed one for summer (very light, protection from the sun), a felt one (warmth and some rain protection) and a faux-leather stetson (sun/rain and very sturdy, so I tend to take it on flights and for festivals). Mainly utilitarian, but I also like how they look. And I find caps hideous.

While there aren’t many people with hats, there are some (most, but not all, older than me; I’m 34). Never gotten a weird look or comment regarding my hats. We have a dedicated hat-store (split, one for women and one for men) 2 streets over and usually when I walk past there is at least one customer.
analogies are great, but there's just literally nothing that corresponds to vitamin c on the internet. the analogy just goes into completely unchartered waters and crashes against the rocks when it pretends that it is a life or death matter. the internet can't stop you getting scurvy - in fact, since it's effective at reducing exercise, it seems to run in the opposite direction from the truth and it's just alarmist nonsense.
“if you double the speed to fly from say London to NY, would you cut the time to fly to less than 1/8th what it would otherwise be?”

It’s bad, but not that bad. If you double the speed, you need 8 times the power, but only half as long for a given distance, so energy use is ‘only’ 4 times what you had.

(Of course, were talking about a very rough approximation that likely is so inexact that 8 might even be a better estimate)

Though everyone keeps referring to me as cowboy, I love wearing my Australian Barmah hat. It keeps my head and glasses dry when I go for a walk in the rain. And in the summer it keeps me cool and prevents the sweat from running down into my eyes. Best feature is that because it's kangaroo leather I can mistreat it more (like folding it into my pocket) than wih a cowhide leather hat.
That’s amazing work, do keep it up.

No, it is a very different application. For example when you draw something, like a rectangle, and then you try to draw something else over it, it instead moves the rectangle - failing to do the most basic task: being a paint program.

It does have some nice features, like the premade shapes and brushes, but those could have been added to the previous MS Paint application without breaking its UX.

This is an indictment of the American way of dealing with poverty more than anything. Giving some Indian chiefs the ability to decide life and death is a step in the wrong direction. We will not solve the problems of the 19th century with the methods of the 16th.

Compare BLM being outraged that blacks are killed by police at 3 times the rate of whites in the US. When the scandal should be that white Americans are killed at 20 times the rate of any British.

In short, there's a big problem in America, but no one is even able to see it.
> who was neither holy, nor roman, nor an emperor

It's a trope that "sounds good" but IMHO doesn't get one more knowledge.

a) It was de facto an empire, but with an emperor allowing huge independence to the local rulers. So he was an emperor, even if he couldn't do "anything anytime".

"The power of the emperor was limited, and while the various princes, lords, bishops, and cities of the empire were vassals who owed the emperor their allegiance, they also possessed an extent of privileges that gave them de facto independence within their territories. " (1)

b) It was "holy" in the sense of "Christian" and in the sense of getting weaker due to the "holy wars" raging even between the parts of the empire.

c) the "roman" could be the most disputed, but it reflects the millenniums-long belief of what the "real" empire is supposed to be, namely, the one that is the successor of the rulers by which we name two months in a year even today.

The trope's origin is Voltaire. His influence on the beliefs of the western world must be acknowledged, but it must be recognized that he wrote a lot with the intention of changing them (and some changes were even bigger than he accepted).

As I write this I still haven't read
https://doi.org/10.7245/0026-2005-42.1.60
but I'd expect that it worth a read for those interested in more details:

"For the historian, Voltaire's famous quip has three aspects: 1) What did Voltaire mean by it in 1756 when he wrote the line in his Essay on Customs? 2) How did contemporaries, including the Austrian Habsburgs, understand it? 3) Does the quote accurately describe the events the Philosophe is discussing (Charles IV of Bohemia and the Golden Bull of 1356)? Voltaire in fact exaggerates the weakness of the Empire in both 1356 and 1756, and uses an anachronistic standard to evaluate both: the quasi nation states of the 1750s. The three parts of the imperial title had changed in meaning during the four centuries after 1356. The jibe nonetheless reflects something of the thought of Voltaire and the French Enlightenment."

And if it doesn't, feel free to send me feedback. I'm still developing new features for it like weather aware adaptive brightness (for less brightness on those cloudy days), an external USB light sensor (for Mac Minis, clamshell mode Macbooks or even Hackintoshes) and a new curve fitting algorithm to better adapt the 0-100 curve when you adjust the brightness manually.

> From my childhood I was under the impression that it was a rip-off copy like the Buran.

That's never been proven-proven, but there still are lots of suspicions: it looked strangely like earlier concorde design, at least one person (Sergei Pavlov) was caught smuggling concorde design documents, and there are many declassified reports (e.g. from the CIA) of a large industrial espionage ring targeting Concorde in both France and the UK.

Also regardless of the previous, the TU-144 had flagrantly been rushed to arrive before Concorde, the inside design was complete garbage, it needed braking parachutes to stop, and it was very unstable at low-speed. This necessitated serious improvements and refinements which led to its first passenger flight taking place almost 2 years after Concorde's (November 1977 versus January 1976).

Thanks for the tip, i didn't notice Strongbox can be used for free. I refuse to buy any subscriptions so i always only buy full versions of apps. For my particular use case €45 is way too much though. Perhaps this will change in the future and i might buy it.

I bought the '1 time purchase' of 1Password on macOS like 6 years ago and have been happily using that on macOS, iPhone and iPad. Still gets updates today (I did pay for 1 major upgrade if i remember correct.) It was way cheaper than all the subscription crap where you don't really realize what you're paying for and how much. I would never buy the current expensive 1Password subscription.

Pinboard is my secret weapon for those obnoxious lists of citations I sometimes get to spackle onto the end of comments on the internet.

> State legislatures are only interested in a decreased scope of federal government when the federal government is not giving them what they want.

Which is to say that they are interested in it at all other times, which is more than there is otherwise.

Meanwhile, what is it that you expect them to want from them? The federal government taxes their citizens (which they can do themselves) and then sends the money back with strings attached. What value to the state of the strings?

> If you have the state legislatures appoint a truly terrible senator, there's no personal blowback against any of the members of the legislature - because responsibility is diffused.

The vote should be public so there would be blowback against everyone voting in favor of it.

> Consider, for the sake of argument, supreme court appointments. Consider that a man who turned out, after the fact, to be an absolute monster was appointed. Then consider, how will the careers of the senators that approved the appointment would be impacted by such an appointment?

This is exactly the sort of thing that hasn't happened to the Supreme Court in practice.

> You've surely heard all the bellyaching that people on this forum have about overreach by appointed bureaucrats running federal agencies? You'd have this exact problem, except it would be even more difficult to hold them to task, and they'd have even more collective power, and you won't even have anyone to task for their behaviour.

They would be held in check by the House which would have to sign onto every law they want to pass unlike appointed bureaucrats in the executive (which by itself solves nearly the entire problem), and if they're really so bad then most state legislatures are elected every two years rather than every four for the POTUS so the backlash comes quicker, and the problems you're describing don't even sound that serious or different from ordinary politics:

> 1. A perfect reward for connected party inspiders.

Sounds a lot like getting to be the party's candidate in a safe district, and doesn't inherently imply anything good or bad about what kind of Senator they'll be.

> 2. That would not be accountable to the public

This is a feature. It gives a veto to a body that isn't directly subject to populist fervor.

> 3. And where the people the public can hold accountable are a step removed from that behaviour.

In other words they are still ultimately accountable to the public.

I wonder whether that means that The Valley of Gods will eventually be finished... or to the contrary, not at all.

This is a game which was being developed by a studio called Campo Santo. The devs were hired by Valve, but they could still work on their game at Valve. At some point, the devs were really happy (based on their social media accounts) to switch and devote all their time to Half-Life Alyx instead, and the development of their original game was put on an indefinite hold. Now that Half-Life Alyx was released, what does that quote imply for The Valley of Gods?

I think 90% of the difference is explained by package load. The more moving parts, the less stable the machine. If you run 10 packages from stable repos, Gentoo will be stable. If you run 900 packages from wherever they were available (more realistic IMO) then it's much more likely to break.

I would expect it to be a straightforward signal processing problem if all that's needed is 20dB of suppression across a relatively narrow frequency range. If the frequency response is consistent from MEMS to MEMS, it should be straightforward to simply create a model, invert it, and apply it to the incoming waveform. DSPs these days can be pretty tiny and power efficient so I bet it wouldn't even take up too much power and area to do something like that.
You're taking a crime that was done to multiple nations and millions of people and trying to turn it into an analogy in a family's personal history, which isn't right; it's nowhere near in the same scale.

The facts are that the colonists / invaders genocided and displaced the original inhabitants of a continent and moved the survivors into reservations, probably to avoid it going down history as racially motivated genocide entirely.

Sure, you didn't do it, your ancestors probably didn't have anything to with it (or the slave trade for that matter), but that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight for other people's rights. They still suffer under what happened a hundred-and-then-some years ago, they are a people whose country was taken from them, whose culture was (attempted to be) erased, and who today what little they got as a consolation has also been attempted to be taken from them because said consolation actually did have some value.

Your analogy is wrong, oversimplified and trivializing the issue.
Interesting. I didn't know skins were something people took seriously. I play overwatch from time to time. In overwatch, skins are obtained from lootboxes, which can be bought with real-life currency, but which you also get free after matches; so I have accumulated some skins. I don't think I've ever used one, and I don't think anyone's ever cared that I use the default skin.

So, I can only assume this culture arises in specific games, not out of cosmetic microtransactions in general.

Which is not to say I think cosmetic microtransactions are a good thing. Just that they're not by necessity as bad as some in this thread are making them out to be.
I don't know how Gentoo display the RAM usage, but I am pretty sure both macOS and Windows does not show the RAM used for file caching as "used".

> The obvious utility seems to be monitoring different protest zones for signs that violence is beginning to break out.

There's an easier way of knowing when violence is happening. Just have the cops report when they decide to start beating and shooting innocent civilians. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to let folks know when their partner decided to kill someone innocent or beat some faces in. After all, their duty is to "maintain public safety".
I did that in 2010/11. Made all the mistakes you read about (not talking enough to customers, launching too late, not iterating, not doing effective customer development...), a year later went and got a job.

A lot of people question the usefulness of 64+ cores on a workstation CPU. It is true that audio/visual tools like Adobe After Effects stop benefiting from extra cores at around 32 cores. [1]

But if you want to simulate production workloads on your machine say with Apache Spark or Flink, you are in the prime. You couple that CPU with 256+ GB memory, and you can start exploring the bottlenecks in your batch algorithms using as many cores as you want.
