Yes, I should have defined my terms, sorry.

To me, the vote count is not the result. The result is one of A won, B won, or that there is a draw. So if the vote count ends up 1 to 0 or 1000 to 0, A still wins, so the 999 votes don't really matter.

In the 1000 to 999 case, yes, everyone whose candidate lost could have stayed at home. But everyone whose candidate won had to come and vote, otherwise there would have been a draw and their candidate would have lost (or at least there would have been a draw).

Also, to be clear, all that I'm describing is more of an emotional argument - analyzing whose vote counts in an election or not is better done through game thelry. If you take the reasoning I laid down further, it sort of breaks down, and it only 'works' retroactively anyway. But I think it captures the feel of what it means for your vote to matter pretty decently.

I would bet that people who voted Biden in Georgia or Pensylvania in last week's elections feel that their personal vote was much more important than people who did the same in NYC do.
I still don't know of any happy long-term couples in my social network who met through OLD.

The closest is a friend who is poly, meets all of her partners online, and then has a heavily one-sided poly relationship, since it's much, much harder for the guy to get any side-action.

This last guy has made it to two years, which is a record. Online dating is perfect for finding guys like that.

The biggest problem with OLD is that nearly everyone actively using it has problems. Problems that need to be addressed with time, effort, therapy, psychiatric counseling, and/or medication. Also potentially surgery, if a pitbull mauled your face as a child or something.

Don't feel bad if you aren't finding what you want on OLD, because you don't actually want to date the people who don't want to date you. And they're completely justified in not wanting to date you. You shouldn't want to date yourself either. You're both using dating apps, after all. That means there's lots of room for self-improvement, for everyone involved. Just being on the app is a red flag.

If I had to succinctly describe the vast majority of people who aren't using OLD for hookups (without digging into underlying causes), who spend extended periods of time unhappily single, searching in vain for a partner on dating apps:

men: too shy

women: too picky
Oh fuck
Isn't that slower than a lot of SSDs? Mine can do that in around 2 and a half seconds and it's not Optane, just a normal NVMe SSD.
> when will Nvidia allow to seamlessly offload Java or another GC based language to the GPU?

Lots of garbage collected languages seamlessly target GPUs. This is typically done at the library level, either within the language ecosystem (eg in Python using Cupy instead of Numpy: https://towardsdatascience.com/heres-how-to-use-cupy-to-make...) or below it (using cuBLAS as your BLAS implementation: https://developer.nvidia.com/cublas)

Java can do this too - something like ArrayFire is reasonably popular: https://developer.nvidia.com/arrayfire
Not even close. An ASIC is a program on a chip. These are still general purpose, programmable computing machines.

As much as I resent Google for shuttering some fine services, I do not complain this move. It's natural to merge video and music at some stage. With just a single subscription, I get access to YouTube premium and YouTube music along with YT originals. YT music app can use some UI work, but apart from that it's a sweet deal.
I have found that homelabbers have broader skills sets, all else equal. Those skills probably never get used in a large company, but in a smaller company they sometimes do.
Apple does the opposite by giving away their software and design “for free” and making up for it with hardware margins.
- What does “offline mode” do?

Browser shows “I’m offline. Do you want to proceed?” dialog. If OK, tries to open socket. Upon such request, OS will try to dial up on modem with PPP, which takes ~30s. PPP session disconnects after few minutes. Else abort. If browser is online in the first place, skip that dialog part.

- Was caching a thing? Did disks have room to hold cache?

Oh it was, there were rooms. Alas, 56kbps(7kB/s) ideal means each pages are kilobytes to single megabyte large at most. ADSL connections at ~1Mbps(1/8 MB/s) means a 256kB page loads in 1 second on a fine day. Even a 200MB disk space holds 1024 of such ~200kB pages, and IE back in those days had a hidden attributes but ordinary folder deep down from C: that holds about that large random cache of files that it decided to hold.

3D graphic performance is another variable I didn’t think of.

It’s weird though that they’re so vertically integrated and able to push performance as high as they have. I really enjoy my Linux system so I’m going to keep on doing that.
That price is a meaningless comparison, you can't buy the Apple processor in retail. What's the cost to procedure the AMD part? Something similar I'd guess.
I’m married now, but I had a realization a while ago that all the women I’ve dated or hooked up with were because I made it extremely clear what I was interested in, and not accepting being put in a friend-zone.

It’s not quite as bold as Feynman’s approach, but clear intentions and not trying to hedge a situation or avoiding being shot down was the key to success for me.

On multiple occasions I met a girl and just said out loud to my friends or hers that I am going to date her/go home with her and in the case of my wife I told some of her friends that I was going to marry that girl. My wife and I took another 5 years after that to get the timing right, but when either of us were single we’d start chatting again.
Why Chinese tech giants struggle to make good B2B software
I think this is the right decision. I looked at HTTP/2 push in 2017 and the design is very confusing, and the implementations are pretty bad. https://jakearchibald.com/2017/h2-push-tougher-than-i-though...

Chrome's implementation was best, but the design of HTTP/2 push makes it really hard to do the right thing. Not just when it comes to pushing resources unnecessarily, but also delaying the delivery of higher priority resources.

<link rel="preload"> is much simpler to understand and use, and can be optimised by the browser.

Disclaimer: I work on the Chrome team, but I'm not on the networking team, and wasn't involved in this decision.

Also certainly not an expert here, but here is a good definition I found:

> Toxic masculinity is a narrow and repressive description of manhood, designating manhood as defined by violence, sex, status and aggression. It’s the cultural ideal of manliness, where strength is everything while emotions are a weakness; where sex and brutality are yardsticks by which men are measured, while supposedly “feminine” traits—which can range from emotional vulnerability to simply not being hypersexual—are the means by which your status as “man” can be taken away.

It seems to be a catch all term for the problematic parts of the way men are idealized by society. IE stuff like how men can be expected to hide away their emotions or be perceived as weak. Stuff like that shows up in suicide statistics.

Part of the problem with understanding the concept, IMO, is that ideological forces have managed to sway part of the public (or at least certain echo chambers) into believing that the people talking about it really mean "all men are bad" or "traditional masculinity is bad." I think there's something real here that needs to be addressed though.

Edit: Case and point... somebody further down in this thread accused the term "toxic masculinity" of being designed by "academic Marxist feminists" who are waging culture wars in order to hyper-feminize small boys.

As a long time Mac user, the last few OS updated caused me to have to good some permission error or other just trying to run simple tools like emacs. They know they can't control the web and web apps, but they are making moves to lock down apps that run on their OS.
But this means that you are happy to upgrade all of your computer every six months or whatever Fedora's cadence is. Most people are definitely not happy to do so, because updates mean changes to stuff that works, and most people hate it when stuff that already works changes beneath them.

This is of course even worse if you are not the end-user but are trying to ship an appliance to your customers. Why would you want to update the entire appliance OS in the field fo all of your customers just to ship a security patch, instead of sticking with the same base OS on already released appliances?

You'll have to be clearer in your meaning. Yes, there is a portrait of one of America's worst Presidents hanging in the Oval Office. That President served during a time predating the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations, and World War II. Whatever he thought about central banking doesn't apply to the economic realities of the early 21st century. Is your argument that Trump would tear down central banking because Jackson is his hero and wanted to tear down central banking during his administration? Because I don't think you're arguing that Trump is profoundly stupid, but a hero-worship-based attack on a cornerstone of the global economy would be profoundly stupid.

The rest of your statement is Q conspiracy nonsense that I will discount out of hand, because I don't debate the unreasonable.
Does it matter that Venus has a lot of extra energy "lying around", so to speak? On Mars everything is very cold, but a floating cloud city on Venus would have some crazy thermal and chemical gradients to tap below it. I can imagine tons of engineering challenges in those conditions, but it seems like the analog of "geothermal" energy on Mars would be less useful than Earth's, and could be considerably more useful on Venus.
There's a huge number of things that don't "just work" on WSL. A quick search of site:github.com would confirm this.

That aside, plenty of people don't even use the command line and use linux for various other reasons. My dualboot laptop gets another hour of battery-only time, which is enough reason alone.
Mine is this: I have tracks that aren't available on any streaming service. I've also been buying music on CD since 1993, and online for 10+ years and have over 120k tracks which will never "become unavailable". My playlists will never disappear. I'll never pay another cent for them this music for the rest of my life. The money you pay to rent music each month, I use to buy another 2 albums and a bunch of tracks, so my collection constantly grows in the direction I want it to.
Its likely the end of the days of installing an alternative OS. Bootcamp support has been dropped and Linux support will likely not exist.

And then there is the OS which is getting more and more locked down so that you can not run unsigned software without increasingly difficult workarounds.

On one hand, alternative OS support on macbooks has gotten worse and worse over the last few years but it is sad to see the final nail in the coffin.

Not really. The M1 may objectively and factually be a very good CPU, but it comes bundled with the cost of being locked into a machine with a locked bootloader and not being able to boot any other OS than MacOS.

And many people will find such a cost unacceptable.
I noticed that too. The copy on the casino site is especially odd.

Opal Ruby to JavaScript Compiler It is source-to-source, making it fast as a runtime. Opal includes a casino comparison compiler (which can be run in any browser), a corelib and runtime implementation. The corelib/runtime is also very small.
The RAM and SSD are not soldered in on the Mac Pro, which is the machine I assume they're talking about given the price.

Streaming services are prone to sudden acts of mass extinction such as: api changes, licensing snafus, unprofitability of business model, Yoko Ono being in a huff that day.

My only problem is backups, and storage is pretty cheap, much cheaper than vinyl. On a new build I install foobar2000, copy a few gigs of music to local and I'm good to go.

Call me a dinosaur, but I like own a copy of something. It's a less disposable relationship with the music.

Yeah, I always figured this would be one of the major obstacles to overcome. In hindsight, it's now clear why there are so much Apple people in these USB-C standards documents.

Do we know whose IP they use? And is it integrated on die, or integrated in the package of the SoC?
Funny that we feel so different about Markdown.

The whole point of Markdown (in my opinion) is that the formatting is a function of text that you can see and edit. The entire state of the document is visible, and there are no formatting operations you have to learn, just regular text editing operations like backspace, copy, paste, and so on. For example, if you press backspace, you always know exactly what the result will be: it will delete the character to the left of the cursor.

This is not so in rich text editors; when you press backspace, it changes both the document and invisible internal state, and you can't easily predict what will happen simply by looking at the screen; you need to be aware of the invisible formatting structure, or perhaps a recent history of things you did, or it might be entirely impossible to tell because it depends on some invisible state that was created weeks ago and saved in the document file.

For this huge advantage in predictability and simplicity, Markdown sacrifices formatting power (you can only do a limited set of things like headings, lists, bold, and italic).

That's why Markdown tools that hide the markup are, in my opinion, the worst of both worlds: you sacrifice formatting power, and you sacrifice editor predictability. After the markup is gone, how do you edit it? How do you unbold something, or change the indentation of a list? If there are separate commands for all that, then there was no point in using Markdown.
Another anecdata point in your support: my search was for '*.flac' and the number was 3,318.

My wife and I are both 40s+; she has access to that library on her machine, but prefers Spotify for many reasons. Only weirdos want to own their own (music, video, text) libraries, most others would rather have someone else be responsible for the curation of that portion of their mental space.
Spotify is missing a lot of Hindi and rare tracks. Works if you’re into pop, I guess.
AMD on it’s current hot steak has gotten its gross profit margins to 43%, which would make the cost to manufacture a $300 part around $171.

Two and a half times higher cost to build a slower, more power hungry CPU is not actually very similar.

> The "laptop"/"desktop"-grade chip distinction is pretty arbitrary here.

This is the first of their CPUs. The iMac will almost certainly be running a higher end CPU which at the very least supports more RAM. It's likely the 16" MacBook Pro and the higher end 13" MacBook Pro will share a CPU with the iMac the same way the Mac mini and the MacBook Air share a CPU.
Presumably never works. Only the nuclear operations need to pay decomissioning and long term storage costs upfront.
Well, I upgraded my car with an aftermarket headunit, that is capable of Apple CarPlay. This + a Wifi/LTE-Stick, which opens a hotspot as soon as I start the car.

Doomsday prepping as a phrase is an oxymoron. If there is a Doomsday, whatever that is, toilet paper is going to be the least of your concerns, almost by definition. Maybe Darnsday prepping. Or just simple due diligence, or keeping a well-stocked pantry as your ancestors did for centuries.
With respect to upstream patching, Slackware is similar to Arch, it has a few, but generally tries to stick to upstream. Kernel is unpatched though.
Not quite. You can't synthetically compare one chip to another and draw organic conclusions. Apple computers with M1 don't support the software that I use. That's why I bought a fully spec'd Intel MBP13 today. All this talk about battery life and benchmarks gets flipped on its head when I can't use the product in the real world.
