In my experience, the desktop doesn't matter that much. I typically get over 8 hours on my 47Wh battery 13" HP Envy.

Watching powertop, the biggest consumers for my battery after the screen are:

- the keyboard backlight (1W)

- bluetooth left on

- pulseaudio needing a restart (fuck pulseaudio's session management)

- iwlwifi power saving mode being misconfigured

- Skype

If any of these situations are happening then I only get 4 to 6 hours. Short bursts of CPU/GPU activity like desktop transitions don't last long enough to make a significant impact.

Other than Skype being poorly written, this stuff could all be automatically detected by a daemon or by the software itself.
However, it has planets thought to be in the Goldi-locks zone around one of the stars. Seems like if they can get that kind of resolution at 300ly, they should be able to do infinitely better at 4. Just a thought, I am sure I am missing something.

We seem to be at an impasse. You're saying they're constantly trying to engage, but I see something different. Reddit won't even allow "deniers" or anything that smells like a "denier" to speak. The scientific complex will absolutely ostracize anyone who tries to take any funding to research anything that could discredit the mainstream narrative. There is no public debate anymore, as Al Gore famously said, "The debate is over".

Anyway I've given what I believe strongly is the only solution, and ideas like that espoused in this article are dangerous and won't help you or me.
I'm a D-Wave employee, and our cloud service [1] is mature and available* today. You can sign up to get a free minute of QPU time (which turns out to be quite a lot; sampling a problem generally takes milliseconds of QPU time). Additional time is granted if you link your github account to your Leap account, and of course, you can pay for additional time.

We've recently added an IDE [2], we've got tutorials [3] and YouTube videos [4] to guide you through the learning process. Additionally, we've recently released a hybrid solver service [5], which supports up to 10k fully-connected variables.

* The Leap service is available in 37 countries. We just launched in India and Australia this week.

I think there are still logistical challenges during the current situation although if you mean literal backpacking, that is mostly a reasonable option. (Which isn't what most people mean when they talk about "backpacking" across Europe.)
Sorry, I said a few things. Which "that" are you referring to?
It's gotten better, if you can believe it. Regardless, I've managed to come up with one foolproof method for securing my data: Never put anything important on S3.

Aws S3 surfaces this info now, as well as allowing you to enforce that they’re disabled at the bucket or account level (public access blocks).
We have been solving this issue with the app I have built Commandeer. Here is the main S3 dashboard https://imgur.com/gallery/JutGUI3 And here is the view of an individual bucket https://imgur.com/gallery/0OlKY7Q . It let's you completely manage S3 and 25 other AWS and Cloud services from a desktop app. You can easily see permissions and also preview every type of file. We have also done this for DynamoDB, Lambda, CloudWatch Alarms/Logs/Rules. The tool was built out of our frustration that many have.
A. All upper class and some (most?) middle class people can afford to support their children indefinitely. Less wealthy individuals, the millions and millions of people who live paycheque to paycheque just to get by and whose retirement plan is to work until their last days, cannot.

For so many families, the only way they can afford to support their children even in their childhood is government aid, which gets cut off when the child reaches 18.

B. For immigrants, moving back to one's parents is a much more difficult process. You may have to move to another continent. You have to give up on trying to find a job or settle down in the US. Moving back to the US afterwards would not be exactly easy either, because being away from the US for extended periods of time may mean losing your green card.

I've found Anastasia Marchenkova's blog posts easy to read and thorough https://www.amarchenkova.com/category/quantum-computing/

I like her because she writes code for a living AND has worked at quantum computing startups, and went to postgrad for quantum, so she can go really deep on both areas and their intersection.

She's also on Twitter https://twitter.com/amarchenkova

I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of gap years in general, but this year 2020-2021 seems particularly bad because it seems likely it will be an unproductive year for many so you might as well make some progress towards your degree.

The Gestapo and the Brown Shirts were on the same side. In today's reincarnation, the flak jackets are brown, but the shirts are often...Hawaiian.

==This month, an Air Force sergeant, who prosecutors claim has ties to boogaloo, faces murder charges in the deaths of a California sheriff's deputy and a federal security officer. He also is accused of wounding five other law enforcement officers.

In March, a Missouri man with ties to neo-Nazis was shot and killed when FBI agents tried to arrest him. Timothy Wilson, 36, was planning to bomb a hospital in the Kansas City area on the day that a stay-at-home order was scheduled to take effect, authorities said. Wilson told an undercover FBI agent that his goal was “to kick-start a revolution” and referred to his plans as “operation boogaloo,” according to an agent’s affidavit.

In May, three alleged boogaloo members were arrested on terrorism-related charges in what federal prosecutors say was a conspiracy to spark violence during protests in Las Vegas over reopening businesses and George Floyd's death. Authorities allege the three white men filled gas cans and made Molotov cocktails in glass bottles and were headed to a Black Lives Matter protest, according to a copy of the criminal complaint.==

Oh trust me I know totally what you mean, I'm usually the first ops person hired at a startup once they've gotten the budget for one. My goal when I work with devs is to get as much of the infrastructure frustration out of their way as possible (unless they want to help with it) and automate the processes that slow down their code from getting deployed. This usually comes with months of fixing cruft/security issues, etc that could've lead to a "hack" like this when just the devs were running the ship.

I wish MORE small dev teams brought in ops people and didn't wait until they had a staff of 20-30 or whatever it typically winds up being. But I know that's a pipe dream and you're basically losing a developer salary to hire a devops/ops person which isn't the direction they want to go.

edit: typos
I think you need to relax and get worked up over real issues, rather than getting mad that a company exercised its freedom to choose not to sell toys that represent real life military vehicles.

They have chosen to draw a line. They don't produce toys that represent real military vehicles. You just don't like the line. I suppose you will have to purchase your toy military models elsewhere.
Likewise. I regularly die in act 1, and after finally achieving ascension 10 with all characters I’ve spent weeks trying to kill the heart at ascension 0 with ironclad with little success.

I have fun though, so that’s nice.
Perhaps a kid that is always crying is attempting and failing to communicate pain or discomfort.

I've been told that I was a miserable newborn--I cried nonstop for months and months and my screams made everybody around me miserable too.

My mother was told by family that I needed to cry it out, but 6 months on there was no difference. I was taken in to the hospital and was found to have had a hernia which required surgery.

After surgery, I'm told, I was absolutely quiet and unproblematic. Through the rest of my childhood and teenage years I was the 'easy-going' kid of the family. Through therapy I have learned that my attachment style is avoidant, and I have no doubt that this early experience (among others) heavily influenced the way I process emotions and feelings.

It isn't that I was a naturally 'easy-going' kid, or that I didn't have the troubles that my siblings had. I felt things, but my experiences taught me not to express them. I formed a tendency to over-intellectualize my experience and, in retrospect, heavily suppress negative emotions and even physical pain. My nature was not to seek out help when I felt immense pain, but to persist with self-reliance, at all costs.

Like the commenter above, therapy has done wonders for me in learning to recognize my feelings and having the capability in processing them in a healthy way.

I am not a parent and so I can't speak to the difficulty of a child's temperament; I have no doubt that one child's personality might be much more difficult to handle than another. A parent is clearly going to be affected to their children's temperament, but the parent is also responsible for teaching the child how to process those emotions, and is significantly more equipped in dealing with how the child affects them than the child is at dealing with how their parent affects them.

"Trans Canada Trail"?

Can we get into Canada?

EDIT: I mean that I thought Canada won't allow entry to people from the US? Is that just a rumor?
Surely you can appreciate that there is a distinction between “violence” and “war”. A distinction that is evidently important to Lego since the company has a longstanding policy against producing sets that depict military vehicles and, to your point, a long history of producing sets that do indeed depict varying degrees of violence.
Interesting analysis, even though it contains lots of probably's and maybes and mights and coulds.

To be fair though, it's not as computable (I guess?) as FreeCell (just 1 unwinnable game?) or Minesweeper.
Or make it a CV-22, the Air Force variant. These things have already been used in search and rescue missions.
No worries, we like feedback!

So to touch on the Heroku argument, its easy for your team to set this up because your production environment is already on Heroku. For teams that deploy on AWS, however, setting up a `reploy.yml` file and committing it is arguably easier than dealing with Procfiles.

Re: Vercel, if a team only needs frontend apps, its definitely a good option. We offer the same service in this sense.

Overall, in your case, I do see a benefit in having both of these solutions combined. That is, being able to restart or compare a PR's state in one system probably adds value?
You're right. Hmmm, I don't think it's very good UI design to show a UI element that turns out to be just an image or a button.
Yeah, in retrospect that seems like the way to do it. The toy examples I learned from in college did it on a single image split up by row, but I can’t think of a great use case for that besides some naive compression.

I don't like that theory, it's completely limited by our current understanding of how a "more advanced" civilization would look like. If we haven't seen signs of what we think more advanced civilizations would look like, the simplest explanation is that what we think advanced civilizations are like is wrong
Anecdotally, my Aunt had banned all guns and violent toys from her house. One morning, after serving breakfast, she noticed that my cousin had bitten his toast into the shape of a gun and was making "pew-pew" motions. They laugh and laugh about that. It is what it is.

I can really empathize with this. I was an early employee for one of the magical YC unicorns, and I thought I could be successful as a YC founder afterwards, but then I learned the truth about startups and realized it's hopeless.

Nowadays being a founder is only for those who are already rich, well connected, and have a safety net to fall back on. It's super sad because I think it means the end of the great SV meritocracy as we used to know it.

I think it's just a matter of time before another country comes along and takes the reins from the US as the leader in terms of innovation. The entire country feels like a failed state right now.
Deck-building board games are probably better teachers there. Deck-thinning is a useful strategy in mtg but it’s absolutely crucial to increase the power level & consistency of a deck in games like ascension or clank.

It's also interesting that there are deck-building games which remove deck-thinning as as strategy e.g. in mystic vale your deck has a fixed number of cards, you can only fill advancement slots in your base deck[0], and you can't remove advancements. You can also acquire "permanents" (the vale cards).

[0] every card has 0~1 slots filled from the base deck, and position matter, you can't put two advancements in slot 2 of a card
Good article. It seems the 1969 test disallowed speech that "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action".

Encouraging people to violate mask orders would fit this definition.

Is this helicopter exclusively for war, though?.. are these not used for rescue missions or other humanitarian things? If not then should anything that is used for battle or violence be retracted?.. I had a lot of Legos with guns (westerns), blasters (star wars) and other tools.
An addition to there is no filter (yet):

- We're one of the first nearby and we're going to help build a filter

The various AI we give birth to over the next two centuries are going to dominate several galaxies. There are many filters - competing standards - throughout the universe, our galaxy doesn't yet have one. Humans will cease to exist as we think of them now, within those two centuries (and not due to climate change or any other similar event).
The most underrated type of privilege is location privilege. If you grow up far away from a major city, you have to invest heavily to break-in. One false move and everything you worked to establish gets wiped away.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious here but on the one that asks you to get the proc's cmdline, how do the examples know it's pid 42?

Only way I can see to do this would be to echo /proc/* first to see what PID it is, guess it's 42, then go from there, but that violates the "do it in one command" rule at the beginning.
That's pretty canon. I might put a comma after anything, but that's more personal preference / feel than grammar.
You can take thousands if not millions of products in use today, directly created by and for the military in multiple nations and make this argument. Does that mean we stop using them? That we disconnect from every service or tech provider that provides tech or services to a military?

Is the argument that the Boeing association will make Children / Adults more violence prone because of the relationship of this Craft? What about Nasa and the space race, fueled by the Cold War? What about Jurassic Park where we are perpetuating an un healthy understanding of science... Star Wars where the exact goal is to defeat the empire with Blasters, Light Sabers, and other destructive means.... Everyone and anyone can make any argument as to why every one of these things is bad. Kids need to play, toys allow them to work through emotions. Proper parenting can easily address this if it's really a concern.

It's plastic toys, designed to foster excitement and respect for engineering. It's a cop of out for Woke Culture and it's yet another example of extreme views alienating not only the right, but those of use that are realists on the left.

Let's get ahead of all this and just stop using the internet and all the luxuries of modern life because most are related to empirialistic behaviors and benefactors of military might and conquest.
I feel like the point is "you never know when an apparently crazy idea will turn into something reasonable, so you should always stick with someone until the end of their pitch and/or point."

Admittedly, I'm not sure that's universally true (we all have a limited amount of time, and it's reasonable to focus that time in places where it is going to give us the most benefit), but I'm pretty sure I see where the commenter is coming from.
True. People who talk up the idea of taking a full year off and "volunteering" live in a much different economic reality than a lot of other people.

Well, they had their chance to show what they'd do while in power, and it was very very bad.
I've seen C# interfaces and base classes that were committed years ago and never got a second implementation. This essentially makes the interface and base class a pointless ritual in hindsight.

It's always easy to spot in hindsight, but TBH I think the threshold for creating interfaces or base classes should be a bit higher - likely when you know you will need 3 or more implementations. It's always felt like premature optimization to me, unless something is hard coded to only accept an interface like using Type.IsInterface or something.

Concepts like "Product" are almost always going to have multiple implementations though, so it's easy to judge in that case to make an interface/base class at the beginning. The real magic is guessing what other concepts satisfy this requirement.
Ramit Sethi's Money Rules
Every day, there are a million money-related decisions we can make. By narrowing down a few key beliefs, you can eliminate 99.9% of decision making and focus on more important things.

Ramit Sethi's approach to finance is to recognize that money should not rule our lives but instead be a tool to help us reach our long-term goals. His ideas have helped many young adults (including myself) figure out their finances and set up systems and rules for their money.
I don't think pg or the YC partners more generally have anything at all against bootstrapping or smaller scale businesses. But they're a business too and have their own investors to answer to. Billion dollar exits are what make their business work.

$5k MRR is a great goal, but you shouldn't expect investors to give you money if you there's no potential upside for them.

You don't see a distinction, because you don't want to see a distinction. It's very simple, not only does asking "what came before god, or what created him", bring you to where we started - the impossibility of infinite regress, thus nothing existing - but also the fallacious nature of your question implying that God is a created being, which is false, created Gods are idols. As explained above: "that's like looking at the painting of Mona Lisa and asking "but who painted Leonardo Davinci?", while Davinci is the painter, he is a human, not a painting, creator and created don't have to be of the same nature."

It's one thing to deepen the discussion by contributing new ideas and a whole other thing to just stubbornly insist on making fallacious arguments and repeat them like you did. So unless you prove this time that you're not deaf to the arguments being made, I won't even bother next time...
It doesn’t have to be in a different orientation, it could be parallel with ours but not coplaner. The important thing for this kind of picture is that a normal with the tail near the system from plane of rotation points roughly in our direction.
Good point probably, except we can accept the difference between distant past fantasy, and current state of technological warfare. In three hundred years, I bet there will be little controversy over a historic flight series including the Osprey.

I'm sure there are other cheeky examples of past things LEGO released without responding to or hearing customer complaints. I could even argue the Apollo program was fundamentally a military program, this isn't the point.
It’s in the first sentence of the linked article.
