??? I'm asking a genuine question, what sort of comment is that?

I have used expedia and kayak and kiwi in the past, I've never got a better quote than google flights. I've also never got a better quote from the airline directly than via google flights. Hence my (obviously very stupid) question...
"Move the work and the services to the suburbs." - USA zoning laws generally prohibit that, and zoning is hard to change as local NIMBY activists can effectively block such attempts to change.
Not sure if I understand your tech -> rationality correctly but my experience so far... no.

Almost "sexist", my wife see tech as a "man" thing much as being a handy man etc. So whenever a tech situation arises, its like teaching your grandmother how to do a swipe a smartphone screen. sadly.

Worse, she's in a high tech (sw based) Co and working harder than ever as "remote." I'm trying to encourage her to help me seek out an adventure in being financially self reliant but she won't have it. Wants me to do it all by myself. Unfortunately for me, hard to be self motivated when the soul person in your life doesn't want to be part of the same future. (venting here. sorry)

> Sometimes, CD- and DVD-Rs were burned at high speeds with high error rates that were normally fixed on the fly by error-correcting code. This can make it more difficult for modern optical disc drives to read them, so try them on an older drive, if possible.

Does that mean drives were first made with relatively robust ECC, and they just stopped using it for later drives? What would be the motivation to drop that?
"Turn up your nose at good ideas. You must work on great ideas, not good ones" - I admire Alan Kay deeply and love reading his writings and philosophy. I respect how he inspired the early generations to do incredible things - but for me personally he is a warning to not be hung up on 'great' ideas. He was ahead of his time in the 70s, but the world flew by. Even today he dwells on dynabooks, smalltalk, etc in his lectures - all innovative ideas for its time... but they never evolved and don't translate well in today's world (see One Laptop per Child)
I seem to have a distrust of corps imprinted in my brain since birth and had never fell for their candies/propaganda. All my stuff is always on my own servers with shadowing of course.
> Science, as an institution imo undervalues good marketing and good PR. For profit enterprises are under no illusion that they can succeed without good marketing and public perception.

Not to mention, this could be an attraction. Sell tickets for guided tours. I would gladly give money to have a guide walk me through that. Granted, at $100 a ticket, and 10,000 people a year, it'll take 20,000 years to recoup the investment.

Therefore, they need to make ITER romantic to have millions of people flock to rekindle an affection as powerful as the sun, and fuse humans as ITER fuses atoms.

You need to create a ritual. A couple would go, each holding a cup of water in their hand. They would then pour the water into the system as individual cups, and ITER would fuse atoms forever.

Now you can have millions of couples instead of two people like me.

Apparently, there are 80 million people per year who visit the frigging mall in Dubai. Many also visit the Eiffel tower, which was built for an exposition by the way.
>I say this with three macs within reach of me.

Well, they're a steady 10% of the PC market, which would make 1 in 10 computer owners in the US have one. Perhaps more have Macs than any other PC brand (if we break them down individually, e.g. Dell, HP, Asus, Microsoft, etc.).

Any coffeeshop is choke full of Mac laptop yielding people. Any university the same. Most developer conferences (Java, Rails, JS, Python, Golang, etc) is 50%+ Macs on the audience (and close to 80% on the . Stack Overflow poll puts Mac desktop use by devs at 27% (Windows 45%/Linux 26%).
True for bicycles too. The gears get bent by the chain, the tires pop at normal pressure, the brakes don’t stop the bike. Buying the cheapest bike from a reputable bike shop is much better than buying one from Walmart.
I'd second that Wim Hof's breath-work works for me, too.
This is nothing but speculation, but every major evolution to something having a forced 20 year gap before the next major evolution can be made seems like it would have big effects on the long term too.

I do think software engineers probably have a uniquely cynical view on patents though - software patents do tend to be more spurious and ridiculous than in other industries.

I use this for tools. From Harbor Freight to Dewalt if I use it. Anyways, in the author's context, I've been using Miro.com for all of my diagrams. I love it. If you ever want to upgrade from ASCII art, check it out!
The article makes the assumption that the direction was from Rome to Vietnam and not the other way around, yet provides no hard evidence. The far more plausible explanation is that it developed in both places independently given that both places have plenty of fish and warm weather, and at some point, during the silk road era, the two independent developments linked up.
> Unfortunately, borophene looks to be more difficult to produce than graphene.

That said, as an ignorant person regarding graphene, it seems graphene never "took off" as mass-produced material so I wonder what actual applications with graphene can be seen in the wild, regularly produced and commercialized or embedded into some market product? It's been 15 years anyways, I hope borophene is not just graphene 2.0 in that sense.

Additionally consider seeing a therapist. You can figure this on your own, this is valid, however a (good) therapist will put you down the path much quicker.

If you aren’t sure about therapy, or want to tackle it yourself, watch Dr. K on HealthyGamerGG https://twitch.tv/healthygamer_gg.

He also has the videos in podcast form.
Now why did the leptin diet pill never work out? Would injections work?
I hate so, I love the info, I hate the moderators, I hate flagging. All that aside, I can't believe they still can't make money.
This is a great advice, but the human nature prevents two things. First, you never do it at the right time. Second, you cut corners which would heavily affect the ease or even a possibility of such transition. I spent half my work life unfucking spreadsheets into databases and usually it is nuances and misstructure all the way down. You have to be a genius software developer and a master of discipline to be able to turn your sheets to code in zero years. Add some collaborators and it's over. The ability to make a formula in a cell instead of a column is a formula for disaster.

If I was looking for the worst tool for a poor man's ERP, I would consider phpMyAdmin or a similar "data studio" tool, but not a spreadsheet. There are plenty, all ready for a frontend to be written in place of them.
In the cool seasons of the year I'll often go a full week or more between showers. My hair does eventually start looking a bit greasy, but I never really start to smell.

I've been showering every night before bed for about a month now, just to cool off as much as anything because we leave our windows open except on the very hottest days.

The main thing I've noticed since I picked up the habit is that my scalp has been more itchy lately. Also if anything I feel like I'm more smelly now than before. And it's not just a summer thing, because this is the first year I've picked up this habit.
It's not very big outside of the USA culture as far as I'm aware. I suppose it depends on your location and cultural context as to the 'currentness' of those concepts.

Perhaps it's also a matter of scale; the classical groups that would be in to that stuff have changed both shape and size in that area of Europe and are not really all that visible or impactful.
Bagpipes are also present in between, in Eastern Europe.

It's funny you mentioned Pandora actually. I backed the open Pandora and when I first got it, I was severely disappointed. I think I threw it into a desk drawer for a couple of years and I stumbled upon it. When I opened it I was surprised to see it was still an active community and the device was not only usable but actually a joy to use! I used it has a laptop for a long time until a lost it (oops).

I should check on the pyra and see how that is.
Did someone say my name? :D

It's not exactly that "nobody is working on it". There was some initial work on suspend done already, you can flash a different ATF branch and get it to suspend and resume just fine - it's not used by default as currently you have to choose between suspend or DRAM frequency scaling. It's just not the top priority right now, because we're focusing on runtime power management and other promised features like DisplayPort first and there are still some things to do before it actually makes more sense to go back to suspend.

If we worked on suspend instead of runtime PM for the past half a year, we would probably now have 100h+ suspend time that would go down to 2-3h as soon as you kept ssh connection open or did anything else that would prevent it from suspending. Or even actually used the phone.

Also, just being able to suspend is one thing; but there's a ton of work still needed to properly utilize suspend from userspace, so you can still keep things like IM or e-mail notifications working transparently. The less power the phone uses when not suspended, the better - at this moment, suspend would be just a band-aid.
What makes that "far more plausible", plenty of warm places that eat lots of fish don't have traditional fish sauces.
It was just fish when they started the shipment, rotted on the way. Hey why not eat it anyway?
Have you tried focusing on eating more fat? That’s probably the most important satiety macronutrient. I add avocado oil to lots of meals to get more fat in my diet.
The K8 cult annoys me most. When Kubernetes and Docker hit the scene YAGNI was the idiomatic response to any scaling scenario which involved less than a massive fleet of servers. Now every solo dev looking to launch his tiny Node app on AWS is expected to use Docker and Kubernetes. Utter madness.
Body can only consume X amount of calories from the food you eat every day (just like any other process/machine it has its upper limit), and the rest will be thrown out without being digested. That's why short bursts of high calorie intake won't result anything more than the X amount. However reaching that upper limit everyday will add up to weight gain.
My best jobs have been at places where I simply did not care about the thing we were selling - in one case I was very far outside the target market, in another, just not something I use or think about much without a reason like income.

Several theories, probably something to each of them. The one I think explains the most is that if nobody is "passionate" about whatever you're doing, then you can approach things analytically, instead of having a layer of emotional investment gumming things up.
Your body isn't able to adequately digest binges
I used to work at a porn company in early/mid 2000s, when IE was the dominant browser - the office breathed a sigh of relief when I coded a pixelation filter for IE using directshow effects or something, I forget it's been so long since I did anything for IE - but IE was fairly advanced for the time in what you could do with some CSS. The pixelation filter was for employee use only, of course. No longer did we have to actually watch clowns having sex to debug a problem with a specific movie depicting clown sex. Or any other porno, for that matter. It got kind of exhausting/distracting having to code when the data was porn.
I don't know! Since we're focused on the data center, that's where I have been too. I joined partially for personal growth; this is an area that I don't know as much about as I'd like to. It's only been a few weeks, but I've learned a ton. And there's enough of it in that space that I haven't had as much time or energy to look into other spaces. I do agree that there's a ton of IoTish things, and that it matters.
What point did he prove? I don’t remember that part.
Downloading it right now! But...

> Can I connect to the Internet? No. For what it's worth, the web was quite different 30 years ago - and you wouldn't be able to open even Google. However, Internet Explorer and Netscape are installed [...]

If IE and Netscape are available I'd assume this would be alright, unless it's some Electron thingy going on... how's that so?
Angular inside React inside Elm??? Does such a thing really exist or did I miss the hyperbole?
I feel like I'm reading my exact same thoughts from the past year. (Other than the "several hundred thousand a year." After talking to my manager, it sounds like metaphorically, I'm on poverty line in the software world)

Exercise helps me a lot, especially with our current situation. I don't see anything wrong with sharing it
with your husband as long as you're rational about it.

Regarding work, do you still think about work when you go home? Are you able to drop those thoughts once you head home? I just write notes down first if I still have my thoughts in my head that I don't want to lose. More social interactions might help too but you'll likely have to be more proactive about it than other people to get it going.
Because their paycheck doesn't come from fairies. It comes from the money the company earns (that is, income minus expenses). If they don't need it, why spend it? Why not leave the company a few more dollars?
They were getting a little thin anyway.
likewise, I had a powerPC running on 7.x and 8.x. ooof, takes me back.
> all the mid-range sunglasses are super boring and make you look boring. Great for going out and meeting other boring people.

Found this comment rubbed me the wrong way - seems insane to me to judge the boringness of a person by the price of their sunglasses
Either those Usenet groups are not part of the world, or they don't consist of information, or Google just failed at "organizing the world's information."
Projects like these remind me that there are people in this world live in a different intellectual plane than us. For them, time probably moves slowly and the average person's intellect must surely amuse them. Because how is it possible for this to be made by one human?
Did I get this right in that you would rather be back at Pornhub where they don't indulge all the whims of modern web dev?
Like that GAN that simulates Pac-Man, this is an exciting new level of inefficiency I couldn't even conceive of a couple decades ago.
Fasting periodically might help with that. It helps me distinguish actual hunger from opportunistic/boredom driven hunger.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. Believe what you want, but I've pointedly asked multiple people and I trust that they wouldn't lie to me. Just wanted to add a data point to the discussion. I'm not saying that what I'm doing would work for everybody, but I am saying there's some truth to the general idea of less harsh cleaning of one's skin.
I do all of my diagrams by drawing them with a pencil and taking a picture with my cell phone. Often, some engineer takes offense and enters it into a drawing or CAD program -- problem solved!
8.0 and 8.1 do require an '040, cutting off any MacⅡ or 1xx-series PowerBook. It's especially important to have access to OS 8.1 for HFS+ filesystem support!
If I spent a lot of time on a site, does that mean I am enjoying the site and rewarding it with time, or having trouble finding information and need to use it for longer?

If there's one thing we learned this year, is that the police cannot be compelled to do anything.
I am a native English speaker. I would I agree with you that loving something does mean that you like it as well. "Loving" is a subset of "liking".

I would say that, in this context, liking something means it is satisfying to you beyond the average activity. While loving something means that it is something you consider a part of your life - something that you feel you couldn't do without.

So working at a job which involves something you love can sap the joy out of it, because you end up doing that thing not for you, but for other people.
The 20 oz ribeye meal example is going to have plenty of fat.

I started a keto diet about a year ago, which has a decent amount of fat. My breakfast is often a Keto Chow shake, which has 47g fat, 9g fiber, 33g protein, and about 600 calories. Some users of Keto Chow report feeling full for hours. I drink one and will still want more.
Life is virtually everywhere, appreciable levels of biodiversity are not. Things get smaller, slower, simpler, and fewer as you start to move towards the fringe.
To claim those plots in the second tweet show NYT became partisan like the author does makes no sense. Given the events over the past few years, all of those trends are logical and do not mean NYT made a conscious choice to become partisan.

If using terms like 'feminism' more frequently is proof of something becoming partisan, then it's time to look oneself in the mirror and think hard. I would be ashamed if I'd made that tweet.
I tend to agree, and also like coriander as we call it around these parts.
I can't wait for Mike to come back and finish the revolutions podcast. He's been MIA since april. I know he's busy with his book, but common man, throw us a bone. I miss you mike.

I read all that morbidly curious about actual D/S relationships infesting the work culture. I'm a little surprised, and relieved to hear how professional it sounds.
> Obviously old coal powerplants are the worst, but there's more evidence every year that the allegedly "clean" natural gas is nowhere as clean as advertised once you account for fugitive methane emissions that in practice are largely untracked. And flooding the market with cheap fossil fuel like methane as a "transition fuel" – another marketing gimmick – will only delay the transition to renewables for obvious economic reasons.

None of this makes nuclear, and fusion in particular, necessary in order to avoid a "looming energy crisis"? That's what we're talking about. If we wanted to have better emission tracking and/or carbon capture for natural gas we could probably do it, I'd guess, and it's still not clear natural gas generation is required at all in the face of improving renewables and storage.
If I recall correctly, the ITER project was very badly managed until 2015, resulting in the project being about 6 years late. A new management took over then, and the project is now moving on pretty swiftly. But indeed it's taking way too long...
I strongly agree, especially since I hate 95% of the changes they make. Netflix has the most user hostile design of any media app that I use. I'm still a subscriber for now, but it will be the first one I cut.
There's A LOT of people in America just waiting for their chance to go full-on Purge mode on minorities. This looks like what they've been waiting for all along.
I reject the contrived pity, and note that you haven't been paying attention to what I've written: I read a lot on this topic - as the links indicate.
One thing that's become extremely clear to me over the last decade or so is that almost all tech companies simply do not care about the past, and I suspect at least part of that is so their narrative of progress can be subjected to fewer challenges from those who look back and compare.

Also, and this may be a bit of a tangential point, but the "deny the past because it has something bad" that Google has effectively done here is uncomfortably close to the set of recent and far more political events.
This may be helpful [1]. It's not exactly modern but far more up-to-date than IE and NS. Last updated 2014 I think [2].

I'm all for restrictions on loud or polluting vehicles, but they should be applied equally to cars as well. Plenty of people use two-wheel vehicles for commuting or essential journeys, and that's something we should encourage, since it's a lot less wasteful than a single-occupancy car.
YouPorn made a big-ish article about their stack, ten years ago or so. The backend in particular was of interest for me. For that time when clusters just started getting popular, they were rather exceptional in their scale and thus performance requirements: notably they put HAProxy in front of multiple replicas of Redis, for the throughput—while for me Redis was the second-fastest thing around after Memcached. Also apparently they were massively into using syslogd for logging and statistics—with a multi-tier setup where nodes aggregate entries from other ones. Again, that's before logstash and such plus Elasticsearch became widespread.
Google has definitely failed. Finding anything that's not frecent is basically impossible.
This is really nice. A little easier and more modern for someone just looking to run retro games than minivmac or qemu.

Everyone does that. You'd be surprised how often people do it here.
Some commenters here are misinterpreting the headline/article -- the study does NOT say you won't gain weight!

It mainly just says your blood sugar won't spike, which is entirely expected ("managed to keep the amount of nutrients in the bloodstream within normal range"). Emphasis added:

> "Specifically, those tested in this study were able to efficiently use or store the nutrients they ingested during the pizza-eating challenge, such that the levels of sugar and fats in their blood were not much higher than when they ate half as much food. The main problem with overeating is that it adds more stored energy to our bodies (in the form of fat)..."

This just confirms the conventional understanding of how our bodies work. The raised insulin levels quickly convert excess blood sugar into glycogen and fat.

A lot of people seem to be misinterpreting this headline as meaning you won't gain weight from a single meal. This study does NOT support that conclusion!
> Even education - there's no Ivy League of Europe, there's no Stanford. There are some schools that may be considered good, but elite - not really.

In the world's top 20, there are 10 North American universities and 7 European universities at the moment[1]. That's not such a huge difference, given the fact, that undergraduate degrees in most European countries are only taught in the local language. As a result, only universities in the UK and Switzerland are able to reach the "elite" status – and these countries combined are much smaller than the US.

Sure, but energy density (which is essentially hypothetical in the case of fusion, because we don't have fusion power) has got very little to do with the assertion that nuclear energy (and fusion in particular) is the only way to avert a looming energy crisis?
Sure, but what about commenting on the post? No one likes creating accounts for different websites in order to post one comment.

It's obvious that things like Twitter and Instagram provide value to celebrities and people who follow them. It's just that there are some serious externalities not factored in.
