>es, without vsync, idling in the main menu uses 100% GPU in task manager. GPU fan confirms this. Clearly a bug, as nothing in the menu looks to me to tax the GPU in even the slightest.

"I told my GPU to work as hard as possible and it did so! The game is so poorly optimised".

That's kind of the point of Vsync. Not rendering unnecessary frames.
From the article, it sounds like it is on a completely different list altogether.

"Most states and agencies say ketamine may be administered when someone exhibits “excited delirium” or agitation, which is typically associated with chronic drug abuse, mental illness or both."

In that scenario, the police would be beating the culprit into compliance and we would all be looking at videos on youtube shaking our heads. I'm not saying cops should be carrying hypodermics in their utility belt, but how many non-lethal options do you remove before you have to accept more lethal outcomes?
One thing I disagree on is that you should spend equal time on everything, at least at first.

The way I see it is that product development should still come first, but marketing and building an audience should be tied into that process instead of being an afterthought.

When you're building the product out initially there's just so much shit to do, I think if you don't dedicate most of your time to building it takes too long to get anything done.

Perhaps I'm biased as I'm trying to juggle a full-time job and building my product. I barely have enough time to build stuff, let alone get distracted with things like SEO.
Double Commander, which is done in Free Pascal/Lazarus, doesn't look or work too integrated on OSX—though I don't know if that's possible by spending more effort. It's using Qt for the looks, as the Cocoa variant works even worse—and that's for some reason inconsistent, compared to other and perhaps simpler Qt apps that aren't made with Pascal.

A file manager has to plug into multiple native features, e.g. the list of app associations—and DC does that sorta half-assedly.
This was valuable feedback, thanks.

This is the exact problem I'd like to solve. It worries me that currently only the tech savvy can afford privacy. I'd like to take a shot at making privacy accessible to a larger audience. Something along the lines of what ProtonMail is doing to GMail.

Of course I might fail at attracting enough attention for this to be a viable "startup", but I would have still built something me and my family can safely use. Also there would be learnings along the way, and I'll just move on to building something else. :)
Less of a cool brand? Plus it had a hostile takeover some years ago, original operators are no longer involved.
I’ve seen club kids go into what I can only describe as an ‘ambulatory trance state’ at the dosage levels you speak of.

I talked down one or two people from completely destroying their environment while in such a state, by using deliberately de-escalatory calming techniques.

I’m aghast the police would use such a substance because it is indeed a recipe for disaster when mixed with their expectations of behavior.

Whoops.

I just shelve ideas until the pieces align.

If my idea involves being able to get into certain rooms to be taken more seriously because I have a co-founder, then I don't do that idea until I have a co-founder, and do other ideas.

Look guys, your competition has a lot of ideas. A lot of viable ideas, and this is not a coveted position, it just is. If your brain coincidentally functions like that once, it isn't a good enough reason to pursue it.
Unfounded conjecture: photos matter a lot. Especially when the photos of Einstein make him look like a kooky grandpa and the images of Newton make him look like a stiff, stern cartoon.
In the 3-dot menu for each recommended video there's an option called Not interested. Select that to train YouTube's algorithm on what you're not interested on. The menu is not available on every interface, usually it's found on the desktop one. It has worked really well for me so far.
Still no replacement for Google Voice. That’s my one indispensible service.

I would pay a monthly fee for that service and do it gladly. But nobody offers it.

At the heart of this is the indisputable fact:- People save books!!. This led to many millions of tiny isolated and undocumented collections of assorted books.
People who wanted a particular book had one option - a Used Book Seller(UBS).
These UBS's would open a retail spot and gather books from estates or the public or library disposals of un-demanded books etc. As time passed, they would create a viable business. Time passed and most cities had UBS shops.
Then the internet happened, craigslist EBAY, etc., which enabled anyone +dog to list all they had as line items, author, date, condition etc - often with photos. This enabled the collector to select what he wanted at very low prices compared to the UBS stores, as there was a huge overhanging mass of books that people wanted small $$ for - competition soon drove the prices down. True rare books maintained a higher value - but the mass of pulpable junk swamped the market. USB could not easily bulk buy from these Ebayers or Craigslisters because their business model required them to offer lowball offers.
One by one these UBS died off. Killed by rents/taxes etc. A few who owned their own stores had a degree of immunity to these market forces, but their income fell as well, and after a while they could make more $$ by going online from a cheaper warehoused list and they rented their high street shops to a Starbucks or ??, and never looked back. I travelled in Northern Ontario (Canada) and there was a huge rambling UBS in Cobalt Ontario, with zero rent on owned land - even they eventually ceased = http://www.highwaybooks.ca/ they still operate online in some manner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Book_Shop

Hi HN,

Do you know the positive feeling you get when someone remembers important things about your own life?

Wouldn't it be cool, if you could give this feeling more often to people you care about?

In the past I thought a lot about how a solution, that would help me with this, should look like to me.

Within a week I want to publish an MVP for everyone to use.

I will keep you updated :)
I was in a bad mood a few days ago. Sorry if my comments were harsh.
I looked. The articles aren’t actually saying that the rides have a negative profit. Only that margins are low (which is quite plausible)

The article is consistent with both of our beliefs, i.e. it’s vague as to whether losses are intrinsic to rides, or whether margins are low + there are expansion costs.

Why not both? You could also argue that repeatedly seeing the most beautiful actors in the business nude, can hurt a teenager self image pretty badly, or that learning about sex from movies is probably not the best idea.
Win or Loose, whilst the resource impact upon Apple in this action may well be as good as zero, the impact upon the defendant will not - however the outcome goes.

That factor alone, is what will see many such letters from Apple see the recipient just go with the easy option, even if they have a case for defence.

As for the whole Canada aspect, I'm sure there is method in this, not sure what and may be case of some previous cases in that country they can refer towards as comparable cases that lean too their favour. Maybe Blackberry had a trademark case in Canada against some other berry logo company! That would give Apple some nice legal precedent they can lean on.

[EDIT ADD] Might be that the legal system in Canada is less impacted via COVID than the USA, or been a factor at time of filling.
It’s also in a theater of asymmetric warfare. It’s not like the enemy has (serious) artillery, much less air power.
Nearly every Amex has an annual fee for the card holder. Some are quite substantial. There had better be value.
I don't really find any of this surprising in light of history. A standing army that hasn't fought a real war in a long time just naturally seems to break out in office politics, as the more ordinary paths to promotion and power are unavailable, and the nature of the work shifts over time to mostly what we today call "bullshit jobs". And our standing army hasn't fought a real war in going on eighty years.

I agree that it's a problem, and I respect that the intent behind the article is to disclose the problem in a popular forum - or, the choice of forum being Wired, I suppose popular-ish - rather than to analyze and seek solutions. But I'm not sure I see where simple disclosure devoid of context is likely to elicit any useful result.

edit, 10:24 EDT: I might have better said "major war" than "real war", but "total war" isn't that far off in the modern period - but the comparison, with periods prior to the modern codification of the total-war concept, I think still holds merit. In any case, asymmetrical actions explicitly do not qualify; the primary historical example I have in mind is that of how the British imperial military behaved during, as opposed to outside, periods of declared warfare against a comparable state adversary.
Realism? They were basically serial killers. The Americans couldn't ever figure out what world it was portraying...it straddled both reality and James-Bond but with no consistency.

The show would have been more acceptable had their activities been mostly limited to nonviolent espionage...but there's no way any government would have utilized the same operatives to kill dozens of normal citizens.

Ah, that reminds me of an article someone here linked to a few years ago: [1]. That claims the efficiency is -3.5 dB compared to a typical -1.25 dB dipole in dedicated wireless equipment. Not bad; the difference is only a factor of ~2 in power for x8 reduction in size.

That's like saying you are always nude under your clothes so nudity isn't a problem. Nudity in movies is like softcore porn and they often come with bed scenes. Of course if your family is just you and your wife it's fine but I don't think any sane person would consider that ok for kids.

How much time do you estimate you've spent developing the product?
sitemap.xml can cause your search result to appear with sub-links.

Keyword density (just the right amount) and total word count seem to have an effect and I’ve seen targeted landers work very well for specific search phrases.

Backlinks will probably always be relevant to rankings as they were the original bedrock principle behind PageRank. If you get prominent blogs to link to you, that can help a lot. Inversely, use rel=nofollow on anchors to avoid seeping relevance to other pages.

Ever since Mobilegeddon your site MUST be mobile friendly or you will get penalized. Also other UI stuff matters (E.g. don’t put ads above the fold)

Not an SEO expert here but I would consider those effective and small things you can do for SEO.
I think this is great advice.

I remember when I was an undergraduate physics student, looking forward to grad school and idolizing all the famous physicists. My adviser, who was not the most soft and cuddly type of guy, always pushed this type of hyper-alpha stuff on me, even telling me that he himself only sleeps 2-3 hours per night just so that he can do more physics. It really does damage to you and your self image, and I don't think the advice he gave me was really meant to help me as much as it was meant to help him feel superior.

Anyway, a bit later in life now I look back and realize that there are so many times when I've idolized a certain way of living / doing things that are actually not productive at all but rather just feed that same type of alpha-image.

There's no reason why you can't be successful on your own terms, even if that means taking the weekend off, being a solo founder, or whatever. Sure, I get that startups are hard and draining, but (not to lean too heavily on cliches) there's a difference between working hard and working smart and more often than not I think these types of alpha-founders are glorifying busyness.
Exactly, I want to replicate that behavior in Raspberry Pi.
Just like you, I quit my day job in my early 30s, and have not looked back since. Have founded a dozen companies in the meantime and am currently having the best financial year of my 15 year solo-founder career.

My advice is, hang in there. If you like what you are doing persist and adapt.
My best product thus far is an API I built to support my original business plan. The original product I tried to build is long dead.

I’m pretty sure the lit goes up to 8 mg/kg for IM. In the case of a 100lb pt, that’s what, 50kg? So they give the pt 6 mg per kg. It’s not out of the range of sanity, all else equal.

Key point though: you wouldn’t give the pt 8 mg/kg in a fucking bolus. Time to onset for sedative effect is fast (10min or so); time to peripheral adverse effects can easily take an hour. You’d start way lower than 8, and work your way up if you needed to.
Yeah... this is beyond me why people want to write blog posts on twitter using atrocious structure.

Is it because people can start providing feedback while he is writing and he comes up with content on the spot? Or is it because some reading that on twitter is more engaging?

Anyway, I just quit immediatelly.
A lot of people don’t do technical SEO right. It sounds like you’re asking about whether there is something other than technical SEO and links to do right?

Not really. If you write good content, with relevant keywords, and people link to it, that is good SEO. Not clear what distinction you’re trying to draw.

There may be some scammy stuff with short term results, but you’re always one step away from an algo change or a manual penalty.

Edit: I forgot good internal linking/url schemes. Those matter.
> Make a product that people want and are willing to pay for.

Great point. The long-term survival of a business distills down to being able to bring in more money than it costs you to produce a product. It's such a simple concept, but it's easy to forget when you're swept up in the excitement of coding and engineering an idea you're excited about.

Ironically, it's the most ambitious engineers who tend to make the mistake of doing too much engineering work before trying to validate the product. I can't count how many times I've signed up to follow ambitious engineers' startup ventures that turn into years of highly-detailed marketing updates for products that never seem to get any closer to materializing. These are the startups that fizzle out 2-3 years later with blog posts blaming the industry, the timing, the economy, or other external factors for their failure.

In reality, most of them could have determined their market fit, or lack thereof, much faster by launching a smaller version early and iterating with customer feedback.
Clojure is a very pleasant language to develop in. I have found it easier to develop a JavaFX-UI program in Clojure than in Java.

If you want to go the route of running a server on the user's machine and serving it through the user's browser, ClojureScript and Reagent/Re-Frame are excellent choices. Re-Frame, https://github.com/Day8/re-frame, in particular has very nice documentation.

Clojure lets you use anything in the Java universe while ClojureScript gives you access to all the JavaScript stuff, including Node.

There is a lot of tutorial information for both languages.
If you care about hearing a serious response, I think most Americans would agree that this protocol is on the wrong side of the line, but at the same time not thoroughly murderous in intent. It sounds like an extreme tactic that should be re-thought, and it is perfectly legal and normal for me to share this opinion or organize votes for change.

Lots of nudity in film is of a sexual nature. Uncontrolled exposure to fictional depictions of sex could create unhealthy understanding of sex in children that parents want to avoid. Hence not family friendly. I'm not saying most in film violence is either, but that's the reason.

One film I think of in this regard is Schindler's List. I've seen both the original and the TV edit that Spielberg made to broadcast for teenagers to see. The primary edits I noticed were sex scenes and post-sex nudity. Those scenes weren't gratuitous(they showed something about the characters) or anything, but were edited(either cut or blacked out part of the frame). BUT there was still lots of nudity in the edited film. This was nudity of a different nature. People forced to strip down and paraded in the open for inspection.

Sometimes parents just want to take the easy path and consider all nudity as out of bounds for their kids. I think that's fine.
> Right, so, has Google done this?

Business is booming for Google right now. Imagine Google still have all of that data but are slowly going bankrupt and desperate for new business ideas.... and then Google is approached by a company with ethics and practices like Cambridge Analytica?
I think marketing it becomes a lot easier if you build with it in mind.

If you know what you're building will excite your target demographic, it's super easy to market.
Pretty much everywhere in the world, paramedics are allowed to inject sedatives when treating a patient. Ketamine is used in many places (the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Austria) by paramedics, because it is very safe relative to other sedatives. So the main concern should whether or not police are ordering EMS to administer it when it is not actually required (police do not administer it themselves), since I don't think administering it after an arrest should be an issue if it is actually required.

The article doesn't really give much evidence that this actually happens very frequently. The main piece of evidence is this:

In Minneapolis, a report conducted by the Office of Police Conduct Review found eight of those cases between 2016 and 2018, ranging from officers requesting paramedics use the drug to emergency medical workers asking officers for their opinions on sedating someone.

8 cases across three years in one city, where some of those cases were just paramedics asking for a second opinion, does not seem to indicate a very widespread issue across the US, especially when the city being investigated is know to have a bad police department.

Is there any evidence that this “YTS” that we’re talking about right now is the real YTS? Whoever was behind YTS got into legal trouble a few years ago and shut down his site, leaving the markets to lots of copycats with YTS-inspired designs and domain names.
They don't administer it unless it meets all criteria in their protocols. Something like administering Ketamine would be under a standing order meaning that the paramedics would not need to consult with medical control prior to administration. There would need to be a post-call consultation with medical control to document it and explain why it was given in addition to everything being documented in the patient care report given to hospital staff at the time of transfer of patient care.
I think that ignores that these drones would be much cheaper, no? Certainly in bang:buck.
