Thunderbird is one of the few email clients on MacOS that doesn't choke with huge GMail inboxes.

Thing that baffles me is that you need to install an extensions to have keyboard shortcuts for moving & copying messages with autocompletion, of course the one I was using broke with the latest release ("Quick folder move"). What's the favorite these days?

Same for Lightning and G Suite calendars, but I guess this will be fixed upstream quickly.

Well if there were one big website aimed at developers that was out of reach of Google, that could be a start.

Imagine a service like stackoverflow, except it's (suddenly) not accessible through Google Search and Google Chrome. That could trigger a lot of developers to move away from Google.
They just might extinguish Windows with that. Think about it: if the next Windows release becomes just another Linux distribution with some fancy proprietary features, and proprietary driver/hardware support they just might convince enough Linux firebrands switch over. The Bulk of their income is not the sale of Windows Licenses anymore but cloud services. If enough developers get around the idea that a "Windows flavored Linux" is not such a bad thing after all, they might be able to establish it as a de-facto standard platform for desktop and servers (and someday maybe even embedded devices).

I am also slightly uncomfortable with that, but they are not the player they once were back in the 90ies, they definitly don't have an OS monopoly these days, and that is a good thing. Everyone who wants to use other distributions is free to do so.

For vanilla css-writer it could be a game changer, but who writes vanilla css in 2020? SASS make it so easy to write complex css simple.

css-media-vars would be a game changer for me, if it will be possible to use one var and not define many varnames and put them together to one var.

Like your Example:

--xs-width: var(--media-xs) 100%;
--sm-width: var(--media-sm) 49%;
--md-width: var(--media-md) 32%;
--lg-width: var(--media-gte-lg) 24%;
width: var(--xs-width, var(--sm-width, var(--md-width, var(--lg-width))));

If it would work something like this, it would be really awesome:

--width: var(--media-xs) 100%;
--width: ifundefvar(--media-sm) 49%;
--width: ifundefvar(--media-md) 32%;
--width: ifundefvar(--media-gte-lg) 24%;
width: var(--width);

Or

--width: var(--media-xs) 100%
else var(--media-sm) 49%
else var(--media-md) 32%
else var(--media-gte-lg) 24%
else 5%
width: var(--width);

Ya, at first glance it seems easier to get to the sun, but due to orbital mechanics it's actually harder than it seems.

Probes bound for deep-space destinations like Mars can piggyback off Earth’s momentum to fly faster. For a spacecraft to launch toward the sun, on the other hand, it must accelerate to nearly match the Earth’s velocity—in the opposite direction. With the planet’s motion essentially canceled out, the spacecraft can surrender to the sun’s gravity and begin to fall toward it.

I guess you meant Aqua Regia? Not at all well versed in biology, but that seems less of a challenge than the other materials proposed (heavy metals, etc).

Aqua Regia is a mixture of Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid. At least the first seems easy enough to digest and obtain energy from.

Yes, it is very acidic (ph 0 - 1) but so is your stomache (ph 1.5 - 3.5) and plenty of bacteria survive in that.

Couldn't find a specific species on google though =)

I was in a very dark place for almost all of 2019 and on and off for a few years before that. I dropped out of academia after spending 10 years pursing a career there, my marriage ended in disaster, I fell in and out of bad drug use, I was suicidal at some moments, etc. I feel like finally, I am in a good place.

To start, I was very lucky to find a good therapist during the end of my marriage. While it didn't pull me out of the depression entirely, it gave me the tools necessary to continue to work on my well-being after I couldn't see her anymore. If you are able to seek therapy, I suggest doing so and trying to find one you are comfortable with.

Along with therapy the following things have helped:

1) I shifted my goal from trying to remove negative thoughts to being able to better process them. Meditation helps in this regard.

2) Eating healthy and exercising makes me feel better in general and helps me process negativity, and it gives me the energy to stay focused on things that make me feel better.

3) I've made an attempt to foster kindness and empathy. This has paid off. I find myself less angry in general. Selflessness is an undervalued virtue in our individualistic societies. Volunteer work is a good place to start. I was able to find an organization that was dear to my heart, it was focused on homeless veterans (I am a veteran) and it revolved around exercise.

4) Cut social media out of my life.

5) Got rid of my news junkie habits. Rather than bombarding myself all day with the headlines, I set aside an hour or so each morning and only read quality sources, The NY Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist.
JIRA. It's powerful, customizable, flexible and drives workflows and productivity across millions of companies around the world. It's the SAP of issue tracking. Despite all the baggage, they still try continuously to improve the UX of the software so it stays relevant and relatively usable.

There's definitely problems with it (its performance can be awful and require dedicated server clusters to keep it up at larger orgs), but come on let's be honest, it's a huge success story and lets orgs do things "their way" with project management and software development.
When we were young, we were immortal. Those of us who survived our youth anyway.

I was a five-year-old in Eugene, Oregon in the late 1950s. The new house being built down the hill next door had an underground bomb shelter. Of course we made that our clubhouse during construction!

The house just up the hill wasn't as far along, but they had cut down the trees and we made tunnels and hideouts among the fallen trunks and branches. We called it "The Rough Country".

And then I got a chemistry set! The real kind, with chemicals and apparatus that could burn you, blind you, or take your skin right off.

Of course, now we have eliminated all risk and the world is perfectly safe.

I work at Software Heritage, where we archive all source code we can find, including all GitHub repositories, and deduplicate them internally.

The size of all file contents (including older versions of files) is a few hundreds TBs, and everything else (directory structures, revision history, etc.) is under 10TB.

So for GitHub alone it would be a little under that
So was it really your oxygen saturation level, or was the measurement flawed?
With stack ranking a manager must rank the entire team from worst to best and fire / warn the lowest ranked person in the team. Imagine a team with the 10 best people you ever worked with. Now fire the least great of them. You must, because didn't you just say he/she is the worst of the team?

Instead the Netflix process sounds a lot more fair. If everyone is awesome, no one needs to be fired.
It's crazy how different opinions are on JIRA. I think it's the worst tool I'm forced to use - and have been - at all my dev jobs. It's slow, sluggish, the UX is horrible and it gets in my way. A lot of dev teams that are outside of product/project management claws simply opt for using whatever simple kanban board there might be(Trello, for example).

England.

Population in 1800: 7.7 million.

Population in 1900: 30 million.

So not quite 5x, but almost 4x, not that far off.

I'm pretty sure there are many other examples of nations undergoing a huge population boom as they industrialize.
Radiation is not a thing with an independent existence. Rather, when uranium decays, it emits radiation. (That radiation is in the form of some kind of particle, that particle of course does have an independent existence. I explain a bit more at the end.)

When the bacteria eat the uranium, what it's really doing is oxidizing it (burning it if you will), and the excreting it. That uranium oxide is then just sitting there.

It might then decay, and if it does it will emit the radiation. The process of being eating, and/or oxidized changes nothing whatsoever about the uranium decaying, it will do so, at a random, unpredictable time, and nothing you can do to it will speed that up or slow it down.

A bit more about radiation: When uranium decays it can emit various thing, those things are collectively called "radiation". Those things also exist on their own (created in other ways), and when they do they get a new name.

So radiation can be thought of as "the process of emitting something, while an atom decays", it's a process, not a thing in and of itself. i.e. since it's not a thing, it can't be incorporated into the bacteria in the way you are asking.

Most of the emitted radiation is traveling way too fast to be incorporated into the bacteria, it will travel until it crashes into something, damaging that thing in the process (that's what makes it dangerous).

Sometimes (it varies) the exact same particle, not traveling fast, can be useful and/or harmless.

Does that make sense? If not feel free to ask more.
lmao

MS Linux to have Start Button

You get 200 basic karma when you go to a new stackoverflow community with an existing account (or you did the last time I did) but other than that you start over from scratch.

However Stackoverflow is also not really a community, so I don't think what they do necessarily applies.

I don't use Instagram much (don't need more addictive stuff in my life), but I seem to remember that you could still like stuff. No hyperlinks would ruin a community in opinion, since it means you can't back a point with facts.

Air travel should be treated with a Spartan mindset in my opinion. Forget all the fake trappings of luxury which are much better supplied (and enjoyed) on the ground. Forget the fake 'fine dining' which again is easily surpassed in any half decent restaurant on the ground. Easy to go that length of time without needing to eat. The only focus you should have with air travel is safety, environmental comfort (quality of air supply, air pressure, noise) and non-crowdedness. All the rest is, frankly, performance art to distract the easily distracted.
I mean, they both sound like dystopian nightmare scenarios tbh.
This is a night/day comparison. With Trace32 and its scripting possibilities you can achieve things that GDB can only dream of. Access to the internals (registers, memory, etc.), flashing, altering at run time, watching, the list goes on. Many things can be done via GDB, too, but it's often not very ergonomic (for example write access to certain memory mapped registers). No hate here, I use GDB for "normal" debugging and love it, but for hardware debugging Trace32/Lauterbach is just a different world.

Maybe the only thing to hate about Trace32 is its very clumsy UI. I'd rather use a TUI than their Motif/Qt based one.
It feels like an enhanced version of "you can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride".

They're certainly not unpopular with travellers, citing quietness and smoothness and space (larger seats.) The premium that customers are willing to pay vs non-A380s for the same route is a different matter of course, and their difficult economics certainly made them less popular with airlines. And that was before covid19.
There's no logic involved. It's all "feelings".

Would E2EE really help in a scenario where the attacker gains account level access (as opposed to a database leak or similar)?

Unless data would be encrypted using a per device key (which would come with UX consequences I doubt Twitter would accept), anyone who gains access to the account would still be able to read and write DMs, even when they would be encrypted. Or do I miss something here?
The intended audience of such tweets wouldn’t be Russia or China, it would be the conspiracy-minded wingnuts who might take that as their sign. Who knows what they might try. At the very least it would fuel further social division.

I don’t think counting distributions is the best metric. The majority of hamburger makers are individuals barbecuing at home, but McDonald’s dwarfs them.

Counting users, I guess Android has over 50% of them.

Counting installations (probably one of the fairer methods), I still would think Android has over 50% of Linux installations. Google gives me numbers in the million for the number of Google and Amazon servers, not always for recent years, but I guess they won’t have a hundred million servers combined.

(And of course, there’s the philosophical discussion whether Android is a Linux distribution, or something that uses a Linux)
>> But at least for some periods in history, most citizens of most Western countries were not systematically disenfranchised, monitored, disappeared, tortured, and killed. Yes, living in America while being Black, Hispanic, Arab (that's me), Muslim (ditto), etc. there's still a lot of anxiety, discrimination, and even danger. But it's incredibly naive to think the people of China are not orders of magnitude more oppressed and in constant fear for their livelihoods, lives, and loved ones.

If "most citizens of most Western countries were not systematically disenfranchised, monitored, disappeared, tortured, and killed" is meant to be contrastive with China (otherwise what's the point?) then the implication is that most citizens of China do suffer from that and thus "in constant fear for their livelihoods, lives, and loved ones".

Of course if you think that's terribly hyperbolic and not a charitable interpretation of the original poster's statement, then there's no actual disagreement.

I think it even encourages reading the content. “Six hundred other morons ‘liked’ this comment so I might enjoy reading it.” Without that social proof, how do I figure out which comments are worthwhile and which are kooky bullshit?

I’m being only partly sarcastic here, the social proof is real. But I find it interesting because on Reddit I’ll deliberately read downvoted comments, on YouTube I will not bother with anything below the top 10 presented to me, here I’ll read almost everything (obviously if the thread interests me).
