Caddy is a really nice server but the documentation for v2 is kind of strange. Every documented config setting is for the new json format, but there is almost no information or examples for a complete json config. And all complete examples are with the old Caddyfile which has now no documentation anymore.
Not the 90s but I worked remotely to a significant degree in the 2000s. By and large, we did not have screen sharing although companies would present to us using tools like WebEx. Mostly we just mailed documents around, used email (with some chat latterly), and phone calls.
cool, first word I hovered over translated to penis XD
Starting out I was told double it and move up a unit.

I'm sure you probably already know this but for people who don't follow music as much, Baba Yetu, was the first song from a video game to win a Grammy. It was originally sung by a Stanford a cappella group ( http://www.stanfordtalisman.com/ ). The composer, Christopher Tin, recently just released a new album called "To Shiver the Sky" ( https://christophertin.com/albums/toshiverthesky.html ). Check it out if you liked the music from Civ 4 as much as we did!
Orthogonal complaint, but it was a huge loss when the Civilization catalog was removed from GeForce Now.

I loved playing Civ while developing on my laptops, without it spooling up my fans, burning my lap or impeding my other processes. Playing it in the cloud was the perfect solution, and it has the perfect "lag doesn't matter" gameplay where a bit of latency doesn't diminish the enjoyment.

Whatever their pissing match is, after playing Civ in the cloud I just could never get back to playing it locally. I was spoiled, and as a result I haven't bought two of the most recent Civ expansion packs.
See gun. Shoot first. Talk later.
Yes, but most of those problems have other, less wasteful solutions. We don’t have to live sprawled out far away from our workplaces, and we don’t each and every one need to move our own 1500 kg vehicle to get somewhere in urban areas.
Referring to "one lab of the US Department of Energy" as "America" is pushing it a little bit. One of those is a whole continent.
I can’t speak for the new series, but I have a couple of Ryzen 3400G and I’m not sure if I got the iGPU working and being utilized 100% properly yet.

The drivers are a huge mess of confusion (what goes into user space vs kernel? What do you really need? What even goes into host OS vs containers if you run Docker? What if anything can you actually get out of it without installing the proprietary non-free closed-source amdgpupro?), AGESA updates are needed to not have kernel modules crashes, oh and these updates are left up to mobo vendors, some of which are great, some of which will make you feel like you bought a lemon. And then there’s the whole mess with mesa that I think is just now resolved (20.1) and haven’t yet made it to LTS distros.

I’m def not an Intel fan but man, 100% working intel drivers are an apt install away and I had both forgotten just what a PITA ATI was with Linux and couldn’t imagine AMD hasn’t stepped up the game at all.

Unless anyone has anecdotal evidence otherwise, make sure you set aside a couple of working days to hunt down and compile the right kernel modules and make sure the vendor provides recent enough firmware and/or hav patience.

In short, I wouldn’t hesitate having a new Ryzen for a headless server, or a desktop rig with a dGPU. For a smaller desktop, laptop, or anything else requiring use of the iGPU I would wait a year. Unless you’re one of the few people either already up to speed on all this or finding some absurd pleasure in learning about it, in which case I really do hope you post your process in a blog or forum where other users will find it through web searches.
Under Biden's vice presidency, the NSA's collection of Americans' data reduced. Email metadata collection stopped in 2010 before the Snowden leaks, and phone metadata collection reduced after.

He seems consistent on this issue. Prior to his stint as VP, he complained about metadata collection by the GWB administration. https://youtu.be/h2qgU8kJt-0

Because you don’t want solutions, you just want to complain about Apple not doing exactly what you want when you want. Apple’s not your company if you expect them to cater to your whims, that’s never been their MO (for better or for worse).

Really?
FreeCiv is based off of the Civ2 engine, with a few quality-of-life adjustments from the newer games (cultural boarders, optional hex grids, etc. etc.).

Even today, I find that FreeCiv is one of the most tactical / strategic versions of Civ. Even compared to recent Civ4 / Civ5 and Civ6 games. FreeCiv is just missing the music and graphics (which are superb in the mainline games)

Agree. There are a number of Go-based clients, e.g. acmetool and lego.

async is not a losing battle. Trying to handle async communication processes manually is.

Right now, most async communication processes (like status updates or daily standups) involve a ton of manual effort to make sure that people share this information.

I strongly recommend creating systems and using automation as much as possible here.
That's what AMD has been doing and it hasn't really worked out. While all the market sales are at the mid range price point, all the youtubers & lust worthy builds that drive mind-share are not. And marketing works, it's why you'll see basically nothing but Nvidia on the steam stats page despite how competitive the 5700 (xt) was.

https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw...

The chart toppers are the mid range cards (1060, 1050 Ti, 1050), exactly as you'd expect. But what you then might not expect is that the 1070 and 1080 are both still higher than any AMD offering. There's almost as many 2070 SUPER's ($600) as there are RX 580s ($230 @ launch, currently sub-$200), AMD's most popular GPU among Steam users.
And copyright?
The Atari 400/800 and the TMS9918 (TI 99/4A, Colecovision, etc.) are 320 pixels wide and were designed to run on those same 1970s home television sets, and they didn't have an overscan problem (maybe some sets did, but most didn't). I don't think the Apple II had to cut the screen width down to 280 pixels.

That's the heart of the question. Did Woz think that 320 pixels would not fit, or did he cut the width down for another reason, like more color.
This appears to be the registration flow, which makes more sense.
Pubmed Central is a archival system made by NIH that is an example of this kind of public model:

Most NIH funded work is required to be deposited there, but at present, some journals place an embargo on new papers, giving them a year before they are available on PMC.
As someone else said in these comments, Ruby offers multiple ways to express things, so you have more options to "write how you think" as opposed to being pushed to "think how the language wants you to write".

I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying that appears to be one of the reasons for it.
Yes? Just like Apple bought CUPS.
This is very cool. I've always wanted to do something like this. I hope to use snuffy in the future. Thanks for the great walk through!
I don’t think there is any evidence that they are doing whatever they can to serve the 1%.

That's not true at all. There's a ton of documentation for the Caddyfile https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile

Examples can be found on the wiki on the community forums (which is linked to right at the top of sidebar in the docs site): https://caddy.community/c/wiki/13

If you still need v1 documentation, you can download an archive of the old website here (linked in the bottom of the docs sidebar) https://caddyserver.com/caddy-v1-docs-archive.tar.gz but please upgrade to Caddy v2, it's better in every way.

They probably also acquired the copyrights the seller held on the code, allowing them to use them as they see fit ( for example integrate them in products that have incompatible license requirements)
So it does have position tracking. I guess it uses an external camera directed at you - of course that will be far from perfect, especially if you only have one. But it has potential. With more cameras and an improved model, it could possibly even do FBT in the future. At no or marginal upgrade cost.

I see more in this than just a weekend project. Even the fact that you can just buy a new lens when one gets damaged means this might actually save you money. (This actually happened to my Quest; lucky I could save it with some polish.)
I was going to add "and typical PC tasks" but ended up taking it out because everyone's version of typical on a PC is different.
Thank you. Too many people immediately think all ‘surveillance’ is equally bad which makes things easy but it just isn’t the case. There are kinds of surveillance that can be extremely beneficial and compatible with democratic principles. Surveillance that is heavily regulated with lots of oversight CAN sometimes be a good thing.
"I'm not disclosing basic performance metrics because you might reverse engineer my secret sauce from the basic performance metrics"? Really? Seems unlikely.

I'm also not a fan of spending this syntax card on this feature. The ... => ... syntax might be needed for something more useful in the future.
You're right. DynamoDB is not a relational database. But data in DynamoDB can be relational just as in a regular relational database: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerg...
In the history of typography, capital letters came first, and it still remains standard in a number of contexts to use all capitals, for instance, almost all text you see carved in stone is all capitals, and most newspaper headlines are in all capitals. For some words -- for instance, proper nouns/names -- all lowercase is literally wrong.

So to almost anyone, seeing a long block of text in all uppercase may look stodgy or ugly or formal, but all lowercase looks wrong or provocatively artsy, so if you have to choose one or the other, all capitals is kind of a no-brainer.

Maybe it's just a matter of perspective. Doing things to be selfless or altruistic has nothing to do with external validation, reward, or appreciation, in my experience of it. Appreciation and reward have little effect because people generally appreciate the wrong things so why care? (e.g. just look at the ridiculous low brow unenlightened worship in pop culture). Saying "I make a good amount of money" makes people get all excited and happy for you, but doesnt me feel much at all, actually dwelling on it makes me feel hollow. Contrast to "I might be leaving the world a little bit better than it was when I found it" and that fills me right up, and it's fine if people roll their eyes, don't get it, or don't care.
I am sure this could be answered in a one liner but the article is going to be long as hell
And the same comment was made about Facebook practically a decade ago, pointing to MySpace and Friendster. Yet DAU, MAU, and engagement continue to grow. Some of this, perhaps, is due to Facebook's keen awareness of its own mortality and the several times that they had to navigate out of near existential crises. Just look on the backside of the logo out front of their HQ. Memento mori.
I can only answer for Texas. Texas is stereotyped as racist and uneducated, but that only seems true when you don't compare across the same demographics. For high school diplomas and college degrees, if you compare whites to whites, blacks to blacks, Asians to Asians, Texas does very well [1]. The only ethnicity that this is not true for is Hispanics, but that is because Texas has a high proportion of non-English speaking Hispanics. If you were to break down the stats by English-speaking vs not, you would likely see Texas doing well by that metric as well.

Texas is very free in terms of choice. It's trivial to home-school. College admissions are very open to all races. If you're in the top 10% of your high school class, you automatically qualify for state universities, regardless of whether your school was lily white or deep in the hood. The Hazelwood Act provides 150 free credit-hours to military veterans and to a lesser extent to their spouses and children. In my meth-infested neck of the woods, the military is a common way for poor people to obtain job skills and/or a college education.

Worth pointing out (for those interested) that Applesoft BASIC provided floating point support, and was provided by Microsoft.

BASIC and the monitor were stored on ROM chips on the motherboard. The II and II+ were basically the same computer with a different set of BASIC ROM chips installed.

Edit: It is actually possible to have both sets of ROM chips installed if you use a Firmware card. Very handy!

You pass “numbers” to DynamoDB as strings defined with the type N. As long as you aren’t using a floating point initially, DDB isn’t going to add any floating point imprecision itself.
As a desktop OS, Linux runs fine. Pop_OS and friends are great and come preconfigured to run things as well or better than Windows.

On a laptop with an Nvidia GPU, don't. Stuff will randomly break in strange and confusing ways. Quadro GPUs suddenly perform less than integrated Intel ones because of driver issues. External graphics work only on weekdays every fourth month of the year.

That said, I recently transferred my Linux to a laptop with a setup similar to the author's and it's running with only minor issues I can live with. I can't get both sound and the mic to work simultaneously and connecting to an external display is a mess, but I never use the internal speakers and mic at the same time anyway and I can't remember the last time I've connected a screen to my laptop. All in all, my setup works Well Enough For Me I Guess (TM) but I'm not going to recommend it to anyone.
I felt the same! Probably the first and last computer game to have music by Josquin Des Prez.
The response from USPS is what I expected. It's unlikely this was in the system for 100 years, but someone put it in the mail recently and the USPS decided to deliver it.
He’d probably like a := 42 which is in a lot of languages actually! Also Erlang and other fp’s do consider = equivalence.
Developers don't care about security because the business pays them and the business only cares about output.

Sure, the security budget is defined, but they typically leverage a developer ad an ASC to do most of the work as an above-and-beyond effort while paying them the same amount.

That's been my experience.
I think the ACLU has a great set of examples: https://www.aclu.org/other/whats-wrong-public-video-surveill...

Police databases have been routinely abused so I don't see how the watchers can be trusted with more information when they have zero oversight and ability to manage what they already have :/

Instruments that sweep all frequencies have been available since shortly after the dawn of radio and public atmospheric absorption tables have been available for nearly as long. Also, absorption bands tend to be very broad in this region, so after 10 or 20 data points there's nowhere for a magic frequency to hide.
>Somebody like Graham Hancock is actually delivering more people to the pipeline of scientific understanding than Richard Dawkins. We don't want to hear it but it's true.

This is a pretty bold statement. You are arguing that psuedoscience is resulting more people being scientific than actual science is?

Such an extraordinary claim needs some significant evidence behind it.
Playing CKII gave me that feeling. I was doing okay, but things were looking up and was feeling very smug that I had never killed any kids. Then it happened: my new heir was an imbecile.

Have you read TAOCP?
I think Stellaris does tech in an interesting way. Tech trees are much flatter than civ, and you can't outright pick a specific tech to work - you have a choice from a random set, and when you finish that one you get another random set.

What shows up in that set is also based upon what is in your empire's space.
Alpha Centauri is one of my all time favourite game. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if it is possible to replicate the Human Hive strategy from Alpha Centauri in other Civ games?

This is arguing that Docker is "harmful" because the components it builds on existed before. That makes no sense at all.

Only when I got to the 5th section did it make some sort of argument, which ended up being about Docker not using an init system to manage daemons, and the usual problem this brings to badly-written images (process reaping). Ignoring the fact that plenty of daemon managers exist, and are used both with and without Docker, like supervisord.
Interesting, that it became discouraged. Probably won’t make it into Ruby proper then. I don’t fault them for experiment.
You seem to crap on all of them. Not sure they are major problems of the game, or nitpicking.

That exists, and has existed for a couple years now through the Vive Tracker [0]. It's essentially a puck that acts as another receiver for Lighthouse tracking. You typically strap them onto an object or body part and it gets tracked.

Search YouTube for "full body tracking" and you'll see it in action, though it's mostly just a bunch of silliness in VRChat since very few games actually take advantage of it. With each tracker being $99, adding both feet and your hips will run you $300.

Do you have the numbers to prove that we have resources to ‘live forever’?

Capitalism is the only reason we have survived as a species. It is because of capitalism that we are able to procreate relentlessly and without a thought to our future resource management.

Population control through incentivizing responsible procreation is not ‘genocide’ and ‘eugenics’. Negative incentives is not the same as coercion/genocide/eugenics.
But doesn’t the postmark mean it arrived at the destination’s post office (although this was 100 years ago, so things may’ve changed)? So if it has a postmark of 1920, the USPS has it then. It is entirely possible it was delivered, then someone decided to drop it back in the system a few days ago.
I'm glad to see some improvement in the USPS
