I can usually find something wrong with most guitars. A handful of my friends and I go to NAMM every year and just sit down and play every guitar all weekend. Play different things with different techniques all over the fretboard and you will almost always find something.

Most of the are minor issues, but it helps a lot in narrowing down something to buy. Brand reputation doesn't mean much these days, especially with electric guitars. The way those are priced you'll see a huge spectrum in cost and construction techniques and the economics of electric guitars mostly means labor priced towards zero and cut corners.

11 and 13 piece laminate necks are a trend that I would like to see go away. It's a "look" that nobody can really see, usually means worse tone and says you couldn't find one good neck out of the wood you had. Same with the relic look.

We usually find a couple of good Hall E brands every year with a 1-3 year waitlist for a good custom guitar. Some of those are today's "good" brands (Aristides...). Martin always has a few beautiful acoustics to sell out of the custom shop that cost as much as a car.

Every year we usually find a different model Yamaha that's probably $1000 cheaper than it should be.
We have the same thing here in Norway, both in fruit and vegetable farming (planting, weeding in ecological farms) as well as in sheep farming were sheep shearers fly in from Australia/New Zealand after finishing the season down under.
> I tried to install NIX, but the graphical installer wouldn't boot.

I've had the same issue. Nix uses KDE Plasma by default, which uses a compositor that struggles with some video drivers.

Fortunately, installing from command line is practically the same, especially if you do your partitioning beforehand.

> Then when I tried the text-based install, it couldn't see my NVME disk.

That's a more unique problem. I'm not sure what to do about it either. Did /dev/nvme0n1 just never populate? My best guess is that you booted emulated BIOS instead of UEFI.

Thankfully there are specialists that can help with that.
The huge difference, and most tin-foil-hat worthy, is that all this functionality is extended to reach the cloud.

Maybe a more accurate description of Australia is that it can be free, but you may have to wait for a dr appointment. Or you can go to one of the non bulk-billing doctors and a nice lounge to sit on whilst you wait.

Generally necessary pathology/radiology or routine blood tests are covered by medicare which is paid for by a levy of about 1% on income.

Likewise pharmaceuticals are generally fairly low cost (there are exceptions), being subsidised by the government and for low income or people with ongoing requirements can be free.

Private health insurance is available and encouraged by a decrease in your medicare levy, but a lot of people are finding that it doesn't provide any financial benefit and as we have a very good public health system, does not provide any better health outcome.

Health Insurance is not a major concern in Australia. It certainly is not tied to an employer and doesn't rate on the list of things to worry about when getting a job.

We have heavy, heavy soil here. We do wash equipment to make sure that wet soils are not left in the nooks an crannies of our equipment, but the idea that we'd have a frame rot away from rust.. that seems like a 100 year timeline issue to me. Combine hoppers need to be cleaned out every season and do rot away, put that's not a tractor frame.

The painting at issue always seems to be very cosmetic to me, painting the hood on a tractor doesn't extend its life.. but it might increase its resale value!
I think these responses show I failed to articulate my point well at all. I appreciate them but they don’t seem to attack the question I asked which is if defensive programming as a practice (retries just being a extreme example) is more natural when you are talking “over the wire” for some
innate reason, even tho other forms of defensiveness may be equally relevant and useful in non-networked programming.
A factor of two is always a good start. There was a claim that 1.5 is better realloc-hole-wise, but the tested difference was shown to be negligible. Sorry for no links, it's early morning. Scaling down or preallocating is simple: expose fit(n) and regrow() functions which fit the capacity to at least max(used, n) items or reset your guess back to natural. There is end user somewhere up the call stack who knows when bufwriting is over and no growth/shrinkage will happen for a while. If automatic shrinkage is implemented, it should have a significant hysteresis to prevent push/pop/push/pop realloc jitter. The really tricky part is that generic containers often skip this api and make a guesswork that sucks.

For the majority of jailbreak users all they have to do is to use some program and you’re done. It’s simplified but as a user since 2010 that’s how I feel.

I don’t like android OS, and I like iPhones. I also like to tinker so I jailbreak.
Two rather insignificant observations:

- the video scaffold redirected to localhost:8000/Posts why in the world are the controller paths capitalized? So rare to see that but somehow I'm less surprised in haskell

- the name sounds a lot like i-Hop and I can't get it out of my head now and it will forever be that. First impressions have a way of sticking around

Otherwise I like the opinionated direction they chose. Especially being a dev-shop we're using it for ourselves so we don't really care about taking a community-census type approach to things. They only care about what works for creating real things.

Having gone down the Haskell road, letting someone make the hundreds of early choices for you seems to be the best way to go for early adoption. Typically the under-layers remain abstract enough for the true hackers, which also seems to be the case here (from reading about the blaze-html integration).

Which I always believe is a solid foundation for any useful framework. The demanded customizations can always be supported later. Modularization tends to come later as a project matures, but the early days it's best to take a singular path that works for the founding team until maturity is reached and wait/see if it does indeed become popular first to justify the more modular/customizable approach.

I haven't tried it myself though but I seem to be close to the target market being both a past Rails dev and a Haskell fan. So I'll keep it on the back burner for until I have time.
That really isn’t the point of my comment or this case. If someone wants to challenge the constitutionality of the ccw permit, that is a different topic
ah, i think i misunderstood the framing -- i do not jailbreak for that very reason, and i leave it to others to make the case!
We're going to see a lot more of such attacks (Denial of Capital?) as engineers blindly throw more and more SaaS components together without any sort of rate limiting in place, especially so when those endpoints are publicly accessible and tied to your account (e.g. Firebase or Algolia requests that are billable to your conveniently included client-side API key).

And in all honesty it's a lot easier to take a site offline through depletion of budget than trying to exhaust an infinitely-scaling service.
Dev mode apps run under a hypervisor (so do retail games), so there's still a security platform underneath everything protecting apps from each other (and the OS from the apps)
Kindles with Whispersync over 2G was subsidised directly by you buying books.

You'll note though that getting a Kindle with 3G nowdays means paying for the more expensive models - Paperwhite or Oasis.

> Nobody is making you pay for service

I think you missed what I said. I was talking from the perspective of a manufacturer.

The cost of buying and integration the new hardware, and also an ongoing monthly sim cost for the benefit of getting analytics and ads from a tiny fraction of your userbase that does NOT already have their TV hooked up to wifi is significant, and I doubt it comes close to the added revenue you might get from that fraction of users.

That also assumes that those who don't have their Smart TV hooked up to wifi are going to be in cellular range.

The latest unc0ver jailbreak was sponsored. I’m sure you’re capable of making money if you can crack iOS.

You can also sell tweaks and themes and earn quite a lot of money.

exactly, corporate altruism has so many ways of backfiring, your example is one great example. I can just imagine the sort of mental gymnastics Twitterers will find to be outraged at any x billion dollar company efforts to do low-tier outreach with freebies.

Just simply supporting OSS directly, as in real money, is more than enough to quiet these "they should give x freebie".

That is all the mob should be calling for as a standard practice. Not sending some random developer who happened to get popular on Twitter a nintendo.

> If someone challenges a status quo that you like ("makes something political" in your parlance), then actually defend that status quo

Incidentally, that right there is a good illustration of how being apolitical is different from supporting the status quo.

Going to a protest to defend the status quo from change is defending the status quo. Not having an opinion about some particular detail of how society operates is being apolitical.

This is one of the reasons I personally enjoy retro games. Plenty of old games go for volume of features, but IMHO it's a lot easier to find games with a more condensed, focused in older generations. By the same token I think you're right, and small games like Pikuniku and Minit have re-kindled my interest in modern games after almost a half decade of not really keeping up with the scene, thanks to their condensed focus on fun and gameplay.
I think this is more likely to hurt a project than to help it. Companies will avoid it entirely, putting work into something with a more permissive license. If there isn't an equivalent, they might implement one, open source it (a lot of tech companies have open sourced some big things), and that will be the one that gains popularity.

As long as as developers are willing to develop something 80% as good or a company open sources something that good, the one with the messy license will never get the same traction.
To reiterate the point you are replying to:

Using a command-line partitioning utility like parted or fdisk is more risky to interface with, at least for the layman.

Am I using GPT tables? How many blocks for this partition again? What partition type am I marking this? Am I using a capital G to denote gigabyte? A plus sign before or after the number? What is the current state? What is the planned state?

These aren't particularly difficult questions, but they are more easily answered when using a GUI tool like GParted than they are when using fdisk or parted.

GParted is an excellent GUI. I personally haven't seen a more reliable and usable partition utility. It's my first and last recommendation, no matter what the user's background, and it will likely continue to be for a very long time.
Those first two don't work very well on my proprietary systems either.

An electrolaser is designed to briefly pulse a high power beam that creates a conductive plasma channel (atmospheric conduit). If natural lightening is being coaxed, then we are essentially redirecting natural electrostatic balance into some focused work (Wardenclyffe?).

The only "capacitor" I know of large enough to handle this amount of instant power is the one used to "spark" JET tokamak fusion [1]. There are two 775 ton flywheels that can dispense over 3 GJ instantly and "charge" via grid feed rate of around 8MW.

Shh.. on the Internet, nobody knows that you’re a dog.
I had to pay two bribes (200 USD, then another 300 USD) to Cancun police to get a friend out of jail so he could make his flight home. They asked when his flight was (~3 days later), then said they'd hold him until the day after the flight unless I paid up. Definitely felt more like a ransom than a bribe in that I didn't really have a choice not to pay.

I can definitely see how some people get suckered into bribes sometimes (especially with armed, intimidating police), but it doesn't seem like that is the case here.

Agreed, it is of the utmost importance that the old machines start and go when it is time to work, that's the primary thing!

But I own a rather new sprayer, worth more than my entire combine fleet combined. Why? After a lot of honest consideration of the choices we were making we concluded that the experience of spraying with our old one was so miserable that we were failing to do things that needed to be done when they needed to be done. There is no substitute for getting the job done properly, on any reasonably large farm that is the biggest profitability factor. If any farmer needs a quiet cab and heated leather seat to motivate them to go out and finish seeding in a timely manner then it is a good investment, no matter how frivolous it might seem!

This is regional. I went to a talk on cobblestone streets in New York. There are entire books dedicated to the craft, and new scholarship on it ongoing. (It pertains closely to the question of prefabricated infrastructure.)
I don't want to discuss anything except something I know as a government sympathizer. The whole thing is more symbolic, but it is their right to celebrate. How poverty lifting work in China is that each city will have a county assigned to them, and these cities will use its resources to help. From city level, the work is then distributed to state-owned entities, each will be responsible for a village for example. Assigned communist party officials from these state company/organizations will stay in the village, oversee the project. It is a multi-year project. Some are successful, some are not. It is a hard problem. I think internet will bring more people out of poverty. The long term successes are those places with new factories/workshops, they can sell produces online or make something. There are no opportunities in some villages regardless, young people have to work somewhere else, farming is not an option for young people.

Somebody still needs to manage the managed cluster, IMO.
