Proportional, and also ranked, that's awesome. Assigning ranks seems like a much more "high fidelity" way of describing what I want. The article's graph of vote vs representation is striking.

"[R]epeal advocates blamed proportional representation for the election of communists to the city council. While the communist issue might have doomed proportional representation, the true deathblow came when the Republicans joined the Democrats to oppose it. Republicans had been early champions of proportional representation, but defected due to their dwindling role within a diverse and mostly progressive minority coalition."
Yeah, and if you ever have trouble winning, you just drop $500 on the game and you'll be good for a nice victory streak

plus you don't have to worry about losing to someone who just started playing, since they'll have to grind out dozens (hundreds?) of hours to be on a level playing field with you

> I don't understand why UNIX is such a big deal in 2020.

If you're interested in learning about why standards are "such a big deal" then you can start by discovering a phenomenon called linux fragmentation".
Haha. This is exactly the kind of mindset I am trying to develop. I have spent a lot of my past overanalysing things and it has almost never helped me. All I got was tension, loss of hair and dark circles. I am going through the book “The Power if Letting Go” and it is fantastic.

What are you talking about? Starships will be refueled on Mars and will return back to Earth. Why shouldn't they be reusable after their return?
> I wish I was happy.

IMHO, this is a mistake, if not _the_ mistake.

I feel like i've been in your shoes, in a past life. I've come to believe that happiness is like the horizon, or the sunset. It's a fuzzy concept, which disappears if you go too close to it.

The horizon is not a place, and the sunset is not a moment. They are aggregate phenomena. You can't set them as targets, because they don't exist physically. You can observe them as composite entities, emerging in the right context.

Such is happiness. You can't set it as an objective, because it doesn't exist. And chasing it directly will only cause you suffering. Instead, try to set smaller goals, and let it emerge on its own.

Take care of your physical health. Take care of your relationships. Allocate time, not much, but regularly, for activities that you like (hobbies). Widen your intellectual horizons, e.g. by reading or listening to diverse people. Get better at what you do professionally. Try to find some form of meditation that works for you.
Occasionally, try writing long, thoughtful comments on forums :)

Try to do these without looking too far into it; just trust the process. And at some point, you'll have the revelation "man, it's been quite some time since i felt unhappy!"
Yes! You shouldn't try to do them both at once. But while life is short, it isn't that short.

More often than not the image is not in the pinterest result and it is always behind a login gate.

I understand the premise of pinterest, and have actually used it as a design board in the past.

My point is that as an image search result it is user hostile bullshit that frustrated me enough to stop using Google search as a daily tool.

You can talk about how I'm not the target all day, but that doesn't change the fact that it is an inferior user experience enabled by Google.

I've always shied away from mods in games. I vaguely recall playing a game and finishing it, then I tried it with some cheat code and all of a sudden the game became completely meaningless. There's something very important tied into the struggle and limitations.

On the other hand, I think things like keybindings and mods that fix problems are probably ok (personally).

Obviously yes. I don't understand what is there so hard to understand.

What I don't like about this quote is that it pretends you just have to choose between all these attractive and worthwhile goals and that the choosing is the difficult part.

In reality though you may opt for a career, leave the family but fail. Or you may put your career on a lower pitch only to have your wife and you decide it won't really work out. In reality, it's more like you start to climb for a fat purple fig only to find it rotten, or just edible. At least in some of the cases, and it won't be your fault and your success depends on how you deal with the said fig. Maybe you can still climb to another?

I mean, I shouldn't be surprised, as given our previous interactions, I feel like you are the anti-me, in that our experiences of similar things is so wildly divergent.

Shrug, such is life I guess. That being said, I care deeply about this stuff (but didn't have a word), so perhaps it will be easier to convince people to pay attention to the data with said word.
This topic of success and what contributes to it always makes me think back to this great video by Veritasium (aka. Derek Muller) titled "Is success luck or hard work?" [1].

While it's probably impossible to prove one way or another, I've personally grown to accept that I will never be fully satisfied with everything in my life. Accepting that fact has given me some kind of peace, because I no longer dwell on the what-ifs as much as I used to. It doesn't matter if I reach the goals I have in mind right now, as I'm bound to come up with new ones that are just out of my reach. I believe bettering oneself is good, but I also believe it's important to accept that there's never a goal to be reached there.

It's sort of like watching a really good movie, then finding out kurosawa did it 60 years ago.
Mine doesn't.

The proximal cause, in one word, is Slack.

To be more exact, it's a company-wide failure to manage the flow of information.

Say what you will about meetings, but at least in principle, the point of a meeting is to set aside some time to address a specific question. No one will generally come to you and say "I know we have a meeting scheduled on Thursday, but can you answer this question for me right now anyway?"

On Slack, anything can demand your attention at any time, regardless of how important it is or when it's due. Answering a quick question to get someone unstuck? Slack. A general question about long-term project planning that would be more easily addressed in an email thread? Also Slack. Support requests from other teams? Slack. Trying to get several people to agree on something? Also Slack, but pairwise instead of a group chat.

It's not that you can't turn off notifications from Slack. You can. It's that everyone at my company seems to treat Slack as a synchronous (or almost synchronous) channel, and has cultivated basically no filter for deciding what demands my attention now and what demands it by tomorrow. Everything is now.

A culture of deep work, for me, is a shared commitment to specifying how soon a question needs a response, and then respecting that choice. That translates into a heuristic for what to use when. Urgent support? Slack. General question or conversation? Email, with the expectation of a response within a day. If an email thread is longer than 2-3 turns: a synchronous group call. Don't @here in team channels. If someone needs to be on alert constantly, set up an on-call alias for them. It's not rocket science, but it does need to be woven into the fabric of the org.

P.S. The worst people are the ones who take several turns on Slack just to get to the point.

"hi!"

"hi!"

"can i ask you a question?"

"ok, what's your question"

"i wanted to ask you about <X>"

"what about <X>?"

"this isn't really a problem right now, but what about <XYZ>?"

Aaaargh!
Half-dose group was unplanned and they switched everyone to full dose when they found out. It was in the beginning of the trial and they had only administered it to young healthy UK people by then.
A little late, but can you share with me the differences between the two?

Almost every part of the constitution except the form was made part of the Lisbon treaty.

Again, I paid attention to this (and read both the constitution and the treaty) because in Ireland, we actually did get to vote on it (as required by our constitution).
Well yeah, it sounds like you are still agreeing to my original point that Japanese ingenuity, at a later time, successfully rescued the industry from a crash caused by said cash-grabs. That is exactly what happened! I still remember the panicked industry reactions here in the US when Nintendo showed up and raised the bar tremendously. What were your favorite 2600 games?
For some people yes, for others it’s a confusing jumble of fuzzy shapes that distract them from the pertinent information. I think Apple approach of providing simplified diagrams, and also illustrative die shots (yes, they did provide die shots, so the whole premise of this discussion is stupid) was perfectly fine.
> Not sure about unix certified os's, but mac os has a much smaller install base than linux.

No, not really. macos's market share is about 4 times the aggregate market share of all Linux-based distributions.
That can come in really handy. Does it expose a web-server to other applications? I'm mainly thinking Firefox here (to see if the "swing" is compatible), but there might be other uses for that too.

BTW, I checked with lsof, but there is no listening port, so I guess the answer is no.
Thanks for sharing this. Really put things into perspective.
That of course is why one of the two US political parties is staunchly against abolishing the electoral college.
Isn't the optimization manual for Rosetta basically "Recompile for ARM"?
That's funny, I just got a few books on Zen and while I don't know what to think of a lot of it, it's definitely a very new way of thinking (or not thinking I guess). It's almost an alternate universe version of Stoicism which I was pretty interested in when I was younger and harder on myself.

I definitely agree people way overestimate what they can predict about their choices. There are a few choices you can't take back but most of the time you're continuously choosing (mainly on auto-pilot) along a path, it's not a binary choice. Like most of us could, tomorrow, stop working in software and/or move to a different country for example. It would be hard but it's not like you chose once and now you're stuck forever.

May I suggest two framings that might help?

The first is that the option of being permanently productive doesn’t seem to be open to you, at least not right now. The bit that makes compulsive behavior so hard to get rid of is that it bypasses the executive circuits of the brain, and if you are fighting on two fronts by trying to do reestablish rational control AND strong arming yourself into doing something productive in a state of exhaustion then it is even harder.

So realistically at the moment the choice is between meaningful downtime and endless YouTubes (or whatever your rabbit hole of choice is). Once you have reestablished executive control then you can consider reintroducing productive activities.

The second reframing is to view culture and social interactions as learning about the human condition. You’re still growing your brain, just not in a way that is directly applicable to your professional life.

And in any case: No one should go through life without having read War and Peace :-)
Genuine question, how will tankers get into space? If most of the ship's size is already dedicated to fuel that's burnt, that seems to leave little left for fuel payload. I also assume fuel payload would be much heavier than other types of payload, requiring more ship fuel to launch it, further taking up space.

It seems like for every full refill you could provide in space it'd take an additional 3-4 ships just to get it up there?
"Diluted" means "spread out". AnthonyMouse's point is that voters would no longer vote for a particular representative. Their vote would be "spread out" across the whole party list.

I wouldn't say that's there to make the controls more challenging. You should default to doing an attack move instead of a non-attack move.

While I would like to be able to make factories assign units to groups, that's still manual creation. What do you have in mind for automatic groups? There's always F2.

> Producing units manually in as weird as possible ways.

This one is definitely there to get in the way.
I think this forum is borderline hostile to "Linux for home use" discussions. We're here though.
This quote from @Travis_Kling should tell you everything you need to know:

Bitcoin is a non-sovereign, hard-capped supply, global, immutable, decentralized digital store of value. It’s an insurance policy against monetary and fiscal policy irresponsibility from central banks and governments globally.

Money in a savings account is essentially losing as much as 15% a year due to inflation and compared to the things people spend money like medical care, housing, higher education, etc. which increase every year.

Interest rates are basically zero percent and by this time next year, we could be looking at negative rates. Many trillions of dollars are yet to printed to keep the economy afloat due to the pandemic, record unemployment and the fiscal crisis.

Bitcoin can't be inflated or interfered with by central banks and governments.
You can't play in the master league with a low APM, but I held my own in Diamond league without going APM crazy. Just sticking to the fundamentals (scouting, harvesting+spending resources, knowing the basic matchups/units to go for) got me to lower Diamond and kept me there for a pretty good while

Nowadays the game's just too intense for me, though

It seems to make sense that immigrants (or people of any type), once present, would be able to influence those around them in favor of themselves. It also makes sense that cities would be more educated and therefore more liberal, and therefore more in favor of immigration, regardless of its affects on those in the rest of the country.

("Educated" in this context means having been run through the educational system, not more intelligent.)

I'm not saying one way or the other which side is right but they're certainly related.
We have found spies at high levels over the years. But worse still than infiltration is the internally corrosive effects of such a multigenerational secret organization. There is boundless potential for corruption. All the while, the previous existence and acclamation of such a service becomes a justification for it's existence.

A new mythology, social network and way of life are born. Once you can't remember life without it, it becomes life.

Such a status quo robs those of us who were not there to choose it of our opportunity to choose. We are not able to choose a road of peace because we are already on the road of war and our system abbores change.
I have a hard time believing that a computer scientist or engineer from a top school will not have an easier time gaining admittance into software engineering than someone not. Anyone not will always have a proverbial hill to climb. I would agree that continued success has diminishing returns from a degree. This is often the argument for designing interviews that reflect real world work.

That said, my point was really that if you can afford a house with a fig tree in Silicon Valley then in some way your stars aligned and to see people unhappy over frivolous things was an enlightening experience that taught me something. My stars didn't align, until they did, and I had to learn to appreciate that. It doesn't mean those people didn't need to overcome adversity or have a story worth listening to or admiring.

> This isn't as uncommon a path as you might believe. I was enlisted in the USAF from 2005-2010, spent months and months Iraq and Afghanistan etc.

I'd be interested in knowing the statistics on veterans in Silicon Valley and tech in general. I've met some, but I wouldn't call it common. I might agree that it's somewhere between common and uncommon, but who knows? If these statistics are collected they are not published or widely disseminated. When I usually meet veterans they're not enlisted, they're officers. The most public activity I've seen is a group at Google that has 2,000 members, I do not know how many of those work in engineering roles.

That said, I'm happy to fanboy one of my favorite authors and Silicon Valley veterans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathaniel_Fick

Some problems I'd note for any resurgence of the RTS genre:

* There hasn't been a huge RTS hit in ages, so large studios aren't going to push large chunks of cash into them. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, and you may disagree with whether large studios should act this way, but that doesn't matter, because the observable fact is they do.

* RTS games are still pretty expensive to make well. There hasn't been a breakout indie RTS, and nobody has established a default cheap art style for these. It's not like platformers where the world has accepted we can get away with pixel art forever.

* Streamers rely on their ability to self-commentate, but nobody can play an RTS while talking.

* Even back in the heyday of RTS, everyone I knew played custom maps rather than the actual RTS. I'm pretty sure that crowd is all in Roblox or modded Minecraft these days.

And some bright spots:

* People /are/ trying to make indie RTS games, more than I've ever seen before.

* Tooth And Tail managed to look great while using pixel art. It's very high-production pixel art, but more importantly it's only one unit facing. Indie RTS costs will go down as people experiment with that.

* The game randomizer community keeps building new community-run tournaments and fan commentated races. This means there's an increasing amount of talent available in the wider gaming community for organizing tournaments and commentating.
And when you've done that what next?

Hrm - I play Clash Royale and the clan wars are typically locked-level cards. Early on when you’re getting started, the levels of cards for sure matters - but it stops fairly quickly. I’ve spent $10 on the game and regularly make it to the top league. Once you know how to play, it’s already stopped being pay-to-win. There is a reason it’s insanely popular and it’s not because there are no redeeming values. If time is money, I’ve spent thousands of times as much on Starcraft and Warcraft (and at least 6x dollars compared to sc2 alone). It’s a good product :)
Fedora is using cgroups v2 by default since last year. This version of cgroups was not supported by docker until a couple of weeks ago. So as a Fedora user you could either use podman or modify your installation to use cgroups v1 instead.
> The sad part is that CA remains a one party state and this will just get swept under the rug. The power is too unchecked.

And I'm guessing the reason for that is that politics has gotten too nationalized, and the state-level opposition is too unwilling to distance itself from its national party to make itself competitive.

Don’t sweat it too much. I feel like my life got a lot more stable in my 30s. I moved countries, met my now wife, bought a house together, had two kids and finally married. Even personally and career wise it’s been a period of stability and growth.

I also don’t think you’re thinking about things too soon. We’re all slightly different. Also don’t make decisions for other people by writing them off. Just because they present one way doesn’t make that the sum total of who they are. You’ll need to have relationships in order to meet someone to have kids with.

Except that there have now come to light some staggering espionage recovery missions eg Project Coldfeet which ransacked a soviet ice station, Project Ivy Bells to recover the missiles and stuff from soviet missile tests, and Project Azorian to raise a sunk soviet submarine. There was even a Project Barmaid (are all British code names better?) that had a claw fitted to HMS Conquerer to sever and capture the towed sonar array from a soviet submarine while it was underway!

I’m not pretending any of this is likely in this case; I’m just giving us fun things to google and start reading about :)
Yeah, the most advanced systems can switch between 4WD and RWD while the drivetrain is under considerable stress too. For instance, the F90 M5 can engage the front wheels on command while in the middle of a power slide and let the front wheels pull the car out of the slide.
