I did this a few years ago, I maintain a desktop at work and a desktop at home, and soon, a second desktop at home so one can be dedicated to work.

I have a low powered laptop for 'on the go' but I only tend to use it to take notes in meetings, and rarely if never use it for work.

Gone are the days of buying a 2k-3k laptop every 18 months and being disappointed with the performance!
I disagree. Epic have enough clout to cut a sweetheart deal behind closed doors with Apple. They just refused to pay the dane geld.

The apple store is a golden garrote on the ios platform. I don't have to pay 45% more for software to use on device I own.

Any ideas for the root cause? My guess is this stupid badge is connected to the CAN bus and the bus dies due to lack of ground, causing the other devices on the CAN to go into some safe state. I guess the article is exaggerating "power steering failure" - it probably goes into a safe state rather than completely dead.
I think an appropriate definition of the right ecosystem is the one that would be here without the vast narcissism of humans. Yes, humans are animals, but we have broken out of the natural balance of things and relished in that fact by destroying everything in our wake in the name of so-called progress.

I think it’s similar to how we view viruses.
Wikipedia has a list of 'Civilian radiation accidents' [1] which is worryingly long.

Johnstonarchive has an interesting list of 'radialogical events' [2] which is easy to search through for 'theft' and 'lost source'.

Sure but GGP is saying that if it wasn’t a high schooler, they would criticise the project.

Those examples would be a solid reason for Apple to invest in improving their search tech, which could naturally lead to launching a non-Google search engine to use across Apple apps possibly including Safari...
Or maybe they should outfit police cars and FedEx trucks with them? They could issue warnings if they drive by a radiation source.
A previous comment in this thread mentioned QuietPC [0] in a list of prebuilt companies.

Yeah, I too often think that Google search quality is decreasing. But I am not sure anyone can do better given current tech, because search engine metrics are almost always gamed.

There are some limited solutions. If they allow to filter out pages full of tracking and ads, it will filter out lot of shit content, but that probably harms their business model. They might have allowed to exclude some sites from search, too..
Sure, but to be fair Taleb's post is full of them, so he's inviting them. Glass houses and all that.

I own a GQ GMC-500+: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071JWB7TJ/ There are several results for "bluetooth geiger counter", I assume some of those will pair to a phone.

>Are there any good ones in keychain form?

No. The sensing element needs to have a fair bit of volume, to have a decent chance to detect rare impact events. (Remember, the characteristic feature of gamma radiation is that it penetrates, easily passing through normal matter. A geiger tube has to be big.)

Additionally, geiger tubes consume a fair amount of power. It needs to be recharged daily, like a cell phone. Not something easily carried around just in case.

Additionally, additionally, the 500+ has two tubes, which lets it measure higher doses of radiation. A cheaper single tube geiger counter designed to detect low levels of radiation will saturate when exposed to more dangerous levels of radiation. (This was a fun detail of the Chernobyl disaster: all the dosimeters the staff had access to maxed out at 0.001 R/s, which is far below any threatening level. This lead them to underestimate how bad the explosion was for many hours.)

According to A. Einstein you shouldn't be able to tell the difference between two inertial frames of reference. Physics would behave exactly the same. So if you don't hit your exhaust in the first instance you won't in the other either.

My response to this will always be: whoever solves live music performance (as in two or more musicians in two different locations happily playing together over the internet) will win the video conferencing wars.

It's not just latency, it's the non-verbal cues, dynamics (including silence that often represents acknowledgement), "energy" and rhythm that I miss about in-person communication.
I just migrated fully from OCaml to Rust. Couldn't be happier. I cannot even start to explain how big a difference a stable and mature ecosystem (including tooling) makes.

Language-wise, Rust leaves some (small) things to be desired with regards of ergonomics, but this isn't even close to offsetting the general feeling of developer friendliness and fitness to the problems it aims to solve. The borrow mechanics/lifetimes are godsend and one starts to wonder why all languages are not like this.

Rust completely exhausted the problem domains of these languages (for me): Java, Go, OCaml, even Python for something that would require more than 50 lines of code. Once you "get it", it's not harder to write than these.

OCaml still has some very advanced features (types) like polymorphic variants, GADTs and others, which I have used in the past to elegantly solve (in a type safe way) problems. But at least for my use-cases (and the software that I migrated) these were mostly problems created by the functional, garbage collected nature of OCaml. With Rust's imperative (but still very type-safe) nature I just don't need to apply such complicated idioms - it seems to fit perfectly to the "real world problems". And on top of that I get 3-4x speedup "for free" (for the program that I migrated). I added some very "lightweight" (as in "easy to do") parallelism and I got another x3 speedup (for the most frequent use case). This kind of speedup makes a dramatic difference. It enables me to do things that were previously not possible in the OCaml version.

And yes, on top of that I get to use Cargo, which feels decades ahead of every other package manager I have used and the IDE support (at least in IntelliJ/CLion) is pretty good (OCaml is nowhere near).

PS. And Traits are extremely cool
I personally do think there is a systemic problem in companies trying to hire the bare minimum in skills/experience for technical roles and ending up with people operating right at the limit of their abilities (and intermittently being in over their heads).

But do I agree RTFM is frustrating advice for a lot of things. Especially if you aren't going to use such information often enough, so will keep forgetting it anyway and have to start over with the manual each time.

In America the right to an abortion is more respected under our legal system than the right to a gun despite what is written in the Constitution.

The law is downstream of culture, and that document only says what 5 Justices say it says.
> why pick on the NY Post only?

Keep in mind that the 3 year long series of false and inflammatory stories alleging Russian collusion were allowed. Finally it turned out to be a hoax. FB and Twitter felt no obligation to censor that.

This is plain abuse of monopoly position by FB and Twitter, conscious attempt to keep voters ignorant, to push a certain political candidate.

Thanks for pointing that out, I've changed the link to a different article that has Bobulinski's full statement. He verifies the authenticity of the contentious email referring to a "10% cut for the big guy" in the first paragraph of the full statement.

What exactly did the New York Post mischaracterize? I read the article and my general impression was that it was a bit sensationalized, but that's rather typical when it comes to bombshell scoops. My understanding of the term misinformation is that it refers to presenting outright false information as fact, not the (unfortunately typical) narrative framing of factual information that happens in the news every day.

Regarding the provenance of the emails, the FBI subpoenaed the laptop over a year ago, and they've had the original in their possession since then. If their digital forensic experts haven't found evidence of foul play, I'd consider that a good indication that the laptop is indeed Hunter's and was found in the repair shop. Hunter's lawyer allegedly also contacted the repair shop on Oct 13, in an attempt to recover the laptop.

> The planet's gonna be fine, it's humans who are gonna have a bad time.

This sentiment is too simplifying. Yes, the planet, as in a spinning celestial object with a molten core, solid surface with water, and an atmosphere will be fine, so to speak, but the vast amounts of flora and fauna will not and haven’t been. Some will make it, but I don’t define that as “fine”.

Many animal species, if they haven’t already gone extinct have been suffering deeply. Take a look at the southern resident orca population. We captured, killing many in the process, and enslaved them, all of which served to torture those enslaved and break up the matriarchal hierarchies that existed. This left new, untrained leaders in the population. Before then and since then, we have poisoned them and have completely decimated their food source. These are direct consequences of unneeded, self serving actions of humans. We also harass them sonically. This is a population that is already and has been having a “bad time”, and it’s likely the population will go extinct. The cause of all this is 100% humans. Now take this example and multiply it by the thousands if not millions of species also going extinct and having bad times. Humans and our technological development combined literally form an extinction event.
I had a very similar experience - dual-boot is nice but not ideal because restarting takes time and you lose all your context. Now im running a (headless) ubuntu server on the host with a windows VM with GPU passthrough on top. With a modern 6-8 core CPU + extra RAM (+ a cheap 2nd GPU for linux if you want a desktop environment on both linux and windows active at the same time) you can have both windows & linux running simultaneously with no need to dual-boot. VFIO & GPU passthrough makes the VM run pretty much at native speed although it does take some tweaking to set up.

Honestly it doesn't matter that it isn't breaking the law. Because even the if the RIAA can't bribe the judge and jury to liberally interpret the laws on the books, they will freely and openly bribe congress to create new laws to replace the ones that were previously not effective.

Advocates for open source software and cryptography and right-to-repair and non-draconian copyright/patent protections need to do the things that their opponents do: they need to pony up the cash to do some real lobbying. Otherwise they get stuck in the same perpetual trap of trying to defend their status, one individual situation at a time, against the overapplication of laws that were poorly conceived to begin with. Sad, but the only language that congress talks is money.

Now more and more computers, tablets, cars, mobile phones, smart home, sports equipment, audio and video equipment have Bluetooth function. Everywhere, pairing is more and more simple, security is also constantly improving,it become a communication technology that often used in life and work.
How to make Bluetooth products meet the technical specifications and obtain the authorization of using Bluetooth SIG logo? That is simply to say, it is need to finish the Bluetooth BQB certification.
How to get Bluetooth BQB certification?
(1)Become a member of Bluetooth SIG.
DeepLight can help customers to register Bluetooth SIG member.
(2)Testing product.
if it is a end product, generally needs to testing RF + profile(like A2DP\HFP\HSP\AVRCP\OPP\FTP).Single mode testing BR\EDR RF+profile,dual mode testing BR\EDR+BLE(RF+PHY\RF) +profile.If it is a chip or software,it may need testing protocol(like BB\LMP\L2CAP\LL\SM).
DeepLight has a lot of experience testing all Bluetooth products from end products to chips.
（3）Pay DID fee to Bluetooth SIG.
Adopter member is 8000USD DID,Associate member is 4000USD DID.
(4)Submit Documents to Bluetooth SIG.
Like TPG,test reports,test evidence,test plan。
(5)Finish product listing.
After finish the listing, you can get the BQB certificate,and you can search company name\product name\model name listing in Bluetooth official website.At this time, you can shipping, customs clearance and sell in the market.
DeepLight very good at BQB certification, from certification process to testing profile or RF, more than ten years of testing experience, we can assist customers quickly finish BQB certification.If there is any need,please feel free to contact us.

After 2008 the Fed and various gov agencies are constantly on the hunt for "systemic risks" to the economy. They only really care if the failure of one section of the economy could spill over into others. Commercial real estate definitely could pose a systemic threat. I remember they were looking into bitcoin briefly at the height of the bubble but something like that is way to small of a market to rise to the level systemic risk and warrant fed attention
Torrent clients are legal though? And prosecution has generally followed the "if a tool isn't advertising 'you can use this to circumvent the law,' it's the user that's liable for an illegal use, not the developer" principle. And as someone who uses youtube-dl to get easy copies of NewsHour... rather annoying that it was shut down.
Thus just shows how poor visibility into git is, I hope it gets better.

Building a product with poor visibility and ridiculing users for not knowing internals is the worst practice in Computer Science.

Hadoop did the same, and has set a record of fastest software to become legacy.

Everyone should read Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins. I first read it in highschool and it really shaped my thinking about the USAs role in international affairs. Some accuse the author of exaggerating certain things but nobody really denies the main facts that he lays out.
> … these HN comments saying it's not for YouTube and it's not for downloading is silly. It's literally in the name.

Regardless of the name, the tool supports over a thousand different sites, not just YouTube, and is routinely used for streaming rather than downloading, with no permanent copy saved. If you run "mpv https://youtu.be/WhWc3b3KhnY" to simply play the Blender Open Movie "Spring" it relies on youtube-dl behind the scenes to stream the video. (Though of course the difference between streaming and downloading is a trivial one; getting the content to the end user's device is the hard part.)

YouTube itself is the entity responsible for duplicating and distributing the content, and they have a license to do so, ergo there is no copyright violation here. The most any user of youtube-dl might be liable for, assuming they don't save a permanent copy or further redistribute the data, would be a violation of YouTube's TOS. Which is no concern of the RIAA. To call youtube-dl a "circumvention tool" is laughable; obfuscation of a video's URL is not DRM.
No, that's wrong. A heatsink on an NVMe helps to let it run its top speed longer, or forever. Has nothing to do with issues in your case, those things just get warm, and before it gets too hot the heat has to be transported away or they will throttle.
That's too bad, a lot of companies rely on this... although I assume that's why they removed it.
I think this statement makes a point opposite what you intended:

That's exactly the problem. We're causing massive changes on a much shorter timescale than evolution operates on. I think it's likely the global ecosystem will struggle to adapt.

It seems unlikely that a commercial real estate crash wouldn't have second-order effects on residential. After all, if none of this commercial space is getting used, there is less of a reason to be interesting in the residential housing that surrounds said commercial space.
I find it strange how the article puts forwards having to build a desktop computer as some kind of weird, horrific, form of torture. Oh no man! Don't build a desktop computer. Anything but that! The problem can't possibly be so bad that... h-he is considering --building-- a computer... Does the author not know how many computer enthusiasts do just that every day and what a basic task it is? They literally teach you enough about hardware to put together your own PC in most introductory college courses. These days its like lego blocks.

I don't think the assumption that processing power is decreasing and all devices are becoming dumb terminals is true, either. Moore's law... Look at the new chips released by AMD and Intel. Look at CPU benchmarks: the more recent chips blow older generations out the water... and there's no conspiracy to keep these advancements out of consumer's hands. Anyone is free to buy a server rack and build a small super computer (should they have the cash.)

What this article raises that I agree with is the complaint that many chips contain proprietary blobs that can't be inspected or removed. Unfortunately, technology like this is how companies try protect trade secrets. It's definitely not ideal, and backdoors + security flaws have been found in these areas in the past. I think if you're concerned about such flaws you really have to ask yourself whether you need to protect government-secrets... or whether your laptop is just going to contain your shopping list and other mundane data. Once you decide what type of data you're going to be working with. You can decide on an appropriate security strategy.

I doubt it makes sense for most people to stick to decades old hardware to avoid the possibility of having someone exploit (and risk revealing what would probably be worth millions on the black market) something in their firmware or microcode.
