For me it tend to be more of difficult, but doable. I am beginner.

Mostly it was not helping to improve at my level at all, they were sort of pointless exercises in my level. What helped were chess king exercises apps where you solve simple situations that are not even puzzles.

But they are common in game and made you start noticing opportunities and own mistakes in game. E.g. at super beginner level, you improve a lot.

In this case the code is licensed under MIT so I really fail to see what you mean by a legal or moral violation.

There is a subset of the open source community that seems to default to the MIT license and then act surprised when their project is used in a way that is not what they had in mind.

At least with some older release MATE team was forking some system libraries which caused it to be incompatible with actual releases. Which in turn meant that when a critical security flaw was found and patched the patch couldn't be taken into use in MATE systems since it would break all software delivered with the image.

I suspect things have since been fixed, but just something to make sure before you start to use the distro.

Curious why would you not recommend Amazon... is it cost or something else.
Pardon my rather simplistic view.

I'm a windows user primarily and linux user by choice. To my dismay, at my workplace I have to use MacOS because everyone uses iMacs which belong to the company and have no choice in that regard. This means MacOs is tied directly and non-trivially to my livelihood. My complaint of apple and what I percieve as shenanigans by Apple are due to that very fact that it is tied to my livelihood. Ofcourse you can say switch jobs because you dont like the brand the company uses and I will concede that as a somewhat valid point- but a reasonable person may look askance at the suggestion. We can agree it's a stupid reason to plunge myself into financial uncertainty. There is a non-zero chance that there are others in my position and who must exercise the right if not courtesy to complain.

> But for a certain segment of the non-Apple crowd, yelling consistently about their opinions is an odd recurrence.

There is a certain group which self identifies as fanboys which is their right and that group is not comprised of Windows or * nix users. This segment of fanboys I can assure is equally if not more vocal. Amusing if nothing else.

Magic Leap

Super successful companies based on nothing ideas are a dime a dozen. Almost all sites.

- Amazon, it sells things. It's execution was cutting edge.

- Rocket-internet is a great example - https://www.businessinsider.com.au/rocket-internet-companies...

Even the great mathematical ideas were execution. Working out how to create protocols is execution.

Lots of drunk discussions about internet currencies in the 2000's but no one implemented the mathematics -

Satoshi Nakamoto also released bitcoin software on Sourceforge.

Bram Cohen created torrent protocol and also release the software and filled it with porn.
Nope, it didn't need any more explanation or accounting for nuance. It was a comment on the the author's apparent lack of awareness. Obviously lots of proactively owned art and antiquities of cultural significance are loaned out, but let's be honest here, rare books aren't Rembrandts.
If we observe that the targeted advertising doesn't seem all that good, it's a bit of a leap to suspect there's actually a great algorithm that's so subtly manipulative we don't notice it. By Occam's razor, the algorithm is probably just showing too many vacuums because it's not that good.
What these instructions do so that someone working on their own couldn't figure out? I am sick of patents lodged just because particular engineers got there first. When you finally save money to do your own research often you learn that your idea has already been patented. It just made work more expensive as I had to spend time finding way around the patent. Such monopoly on ideas should not be legal.
Yes, but it's only useful when connected to your home LAN where you have control over the router, and even then only if you know how to set it up.

Edit: also not sure if the router I got from my ISP (which I don't use, but I guess 99% of their other customers do since it is non-trivial to replace without losing IPTV) would allow me to configure it as a VPN gateway. Pretty sure it won't considering they try to lock it down as much as possible.
> However one thing that bug me is that a number of media/opinion tend to characterize the deal as some kind of China nefarious plot even though the initiative came from South East Asia.

I would guess it's a huge win for smaller SEA countries. China could dictate the rules before anyway (big = important) but now they're all supposedly going to play on a level field.

And ASEAN being behind this project, it probably benefits Singapore greatly.

I wonder (and really have no proof of this one way or another) whether this actually is successful a good bit of the time.

I recently discovered and started frequenting all the internet resources that have grown around the language learning community (there's a lot of websites, youtube channels with polyglots showing off, etc).

As a Spaniard, it was really surprising to see how popular the Basque language is around those circles. I think it's a mix of the historical quirkiness of it being a pre-roman western European language, and the bragging potential for language learners due to how niche and unrelated to other languages it is.

If you ever need to make some money on the side, there are sites where you can book conversations with native speakers to practice, and basque is really in demand, so an euskaldun can make good money :)
I consider myself right-wing, and I do think this is an idea whose time has come, along with UBI.

Primarily because the capitalist model works well when there's an assumption of people generally playing fair (call it iterated prisoners dilemma if you like) and I don't think this is the case any more. People and companies alike are now out to exploit as much as they can and get out, and capitalism does not handle that well, as we are seeing.

I'm also very strongly persuaded by David Graeber's classic on bullshit jobs[1]. See also "UBI is Capitalism 2.0"[2].

I think people who see it this way are a growing group.

Saying they "they steal or avoid work whenever possible" is that demonstrably a (racist) lie?

When so many people have the "belief" that Gypsy/Roma steal because that's just what they do, it's nice to see in reality this is simply not true. Counterpoint provided by EVN, the Austrian electrical company who provides services to Stolipinovo:

"As a result of the project, the average monthly payment rate for (Stolipinovo) electricity customers rose from 3% to 85%. At the same time, network losses from the low voltage power grid were reduced from 40% to 5%."

Linux works pretty fine now for me, but I did (and still have to) put up a fight with it to actually work properly.

Just recently kwin started freezing occasionally when starting up KDE with the logs mentioning absolutely nothing related to that. I've tried several solutions I found through research but the issue still remains. Even restarting kwin won't solve the problem and I have to resort to rebooting to hope it fixes itself. Quite annoying.

Also occasionally my nvidia dGPU (with power management enabled) just doesn't power itself off even if its not being used by any process. I've once again played around with all kinds of parameters and configs without any luck. I'm aware it's an experimental feature but it's still a major issue for me since its the difference between 6 and 3 hours of battery life.

On top of that for some reason all of my games randomly decide to drop down to very low framerates while barely utilizing my CPU and GPU. It's nothing to do with my temps or either CPU or GPU throttling down (they're still at their max clock speeds), there's nothing in the background using any kind of significant amount of system resources and the niceness / ioprio of my game's process is set high enough so some random process going rogue shouldn't affect game performance too much.

These are just some examples of random problems I'm facing regularily and it's just frustrating having to tinker around (sometimes for days) to (hopefully) fix them. Which is a shame since I'm really enjoying my Linux install.
> They may very well do this.

They don't currently.

> It's easy to find fault in retrospect but it doesn't make sense to have opt-in screen for every conceivable feature.

Privacy isn't "every conceivable feature" and the reason Apple is taking heat for this in the first place is that they buried it, and many people discovered it for themselves when the server slow-down happened. It takes some mental gymnastics to refer to that as "wildly successful."

My view is that Apple has no business knowing when and how frequently I run programs, nor circumventing my VPN. If these things are really a "wildly successful" "feature," then why bury them in the first place? Offer them to me as an option and let me bask in the glory of all that Mac OS has to offer.

...That is, unless this is just an intrusion into my privacy.
This is my take as well. I had a few periods when I was spending time trying to get good at chess, but after the initial enthusiasm evaporated, I realized that it's just a waste of time and energy. You only have a limited amount of peak mental performance per day, why use it for something that has questionable benefits over playing video games or watching Netflix? It's better to use my mental resource to learn and make stuff that has long-term value.

> something like sending a CSR from the new device and then using the first device to confirm that it's a legitimate request

So I can only sign into my account from any new machine if I have access to a previously-signed-in device? What happens if my last login session expires? At that point, I have to sign in with a password, and now I'm back to all the terrible things about managing 500 passwords.

Federated identity / SSO through a trusted provider makes so much more sense, the standards are open and there are dozens of implementations available. Nobody needs to reinvent the wheel, we don't need a 15th standard. You just have to sign in with a provider that you trust not to lock you out for no reason, in a way that gives you no recourse (unless you can get your story on the front page of HN). Obviously that provider is not Google.

> Don’t try to take credit for things that the company, as a whole, accomplished.

Skeptical about this one. Ostensibly, any result of value is achieved by the "company, as a whole" -- this seems like a tautological statement. Have you considered that committing to (and following through) being part of a long initiative that directly increases revenue for the company as a whole /is/ something worth mentioning on the resumé, and not merely par for the course?

It seems pretty pessimistic to reduce that to "awkward attempts to implement generic Internet resume advice." and I wonder if that has anything to do with what you see as a hiring manager. That is to say -- are you sure you're not scaring away candidates who actually /do/ accomplish these things? A technology arm of the organization that has increasing amounts of P/L responsibilities is par for the course at many quickly growing startups. As a hiring manager, I would be a huge fan of seeing these lines on resumés provided the follow up conversation I had with the candidate wasn't full of BS. If you're not, what does that mean?
Chess is good for kids, but I fortunately fell out of the "chess makes kids smarter" trap a few years before I had my own kids. Besides teaching self-control, focus, how to think more strategically, etc, getting very good at chess will mean that you are just that: very good at chess. So I taught my kids and they play when they want, but they seem to get the same benefits from other boardgames of varying complexity, and many times that's what they enjoy more.
I have a Pi 4 (8 GB) with Ubuntu MATE and the main flaw I've run into is that a lot of programs don't scale down to the little 1024x600 LCD I hoped to use with it. Of course, that will be a problem with any distro on such a small screen. On a regular monitor it's just a bit sluggish, but no worse and perhaps a little faster than the official OS. Plenty usable as a low-end desktop.

I don't think it has even come close to exhausting 8 GB (looks like the 400 only has a 4 GB version?). I just wanted some head room there.
Promise to let us know when you revert back after some obscure issues cause partial or total software problems? Thanks!
Still very interesting for internal networks and middleboxes. If you're trying to bring 10GbE to the end-user, you'll need to filter closer. And in a closed or somehow isolated network, you're less likely to go over the 10k connections threshold, I think. Especially if the high bandwidth (>1GbE) is used primarily for network file access.
With my device and mobile service provider, the hotspot traffic does not route through the VPN that is active on the Android handset.
> In our case, making two teams work independently on the same problem just created a situation where each team had half as many resources.

You got it. Not to mention that you're incentivizing them to hoard work/attention/resources from one another, or engage in other organizational anti-patterns that would obviously be/become problems to solve if you didn't put the artificial "constraint" of internal competition in the way.
i just play at the highest level and lose pretty much all of the time. it does greatly improve my analysis but you grow a fear of attacking which makes a boring player. beating the computer is done by sticking to positions you know well and winning before material leaves the board. every pawn removed makes the computer 100 times stronger. again, very boring

Yeah in China cold water is considered bad for your health, although as far as I can tell this is more tradition than actual health advice, likely derived from the necessity of boiling water to make it safe to drink before safe running water.

i'd like them more if they had even once shown me something i actually wanted or needed. being forced to sit through the same 3 ads for beer, car insurance and most recently sports betting does not make me want those things at all no matter how loud and obnoxiously repetitive they make the messaging.

when i look through the newspaper or a skate mag, not only is the user experience considerably better but my eyeballs-to-purchase rate is much higher with completely non targeted advertisements that don't flash, pop out or scream at me. this is the most frustrating thing too, advertising does not have to suck. ime pretty much any enthusiast sports publication is about 60+ percent advertising, maybe more depending on if you consider any kind of feature about a team or a brand to be advertising in of itself as well

I use Qt Designer for the layout. I never could get the hang of the Horizontal & Vertical spacers or the Layout Managers in Qt, so it's a static layout.

There are quite a few "pages" in the application which appear or disappear when required. Those are all QWidgets which have their own static layout.

The doughnut chart showing materials available on a planet is a dynamically created web page shown via a QtWebView widget.

There's an Overlay Widget which is basically a QWidget with transparency, with the main window being hidden then called up via a global hotkey - I use Python ctypes to enable the global hotkey, calling the Windows API to enable that functionality.

And the underlying databases used are sqlite3 via SQLAlchemy.

It all works very nicely.

Realtime information about spread of malware is really valuable from a prevention/attack perspective. Virus scanners also employ this method. That's why they still give away free versions of their software, just to have as much coverage as possible to get the latest zero-day. So you could even discuss if the data harvesting itself is with malicious intent or not.
I have yet to meet someone who is obese and his calorie intake is primary from fruits.

Edit: I just did napkin calculation. Sedentary 170cm high male weighting 66kg would need to eat 20 apples a day to keep his weight. Or 3600 grams per day. The shocking high sugar content still means nearly uneatable quantity of apples just to get enough calories for rather small office worker who does no sport.
I mean you could potentially drop out of order packets that can't be reassembled to force them to be retransmitted in-order? That way, you'd reduce performance of some flows, but perhaps that's a small enough proportion of flows that it doesn't matter?

The state you keep per flow also only needs to be the length of the longest pattern, so if your patterns are short (eg. banning rude words, <script> tags, etc.), it isn't much state at all... I would assume in most cases it's just a few bytes.
