Yeah i have similar problems. I seem to be very momentum based, as in it costs time to get into a state where i can put in effective work (also takes time to get back into a relaxed state). With that being the case i construct scenarios in my head where i put lots of tasks together so i can do them when i got the ball rolling and there is a synergistic effect of not duplicating effort. Plus there is a strict divide between stress and relaxing.

But through that all these tasks form a big daunting mountain of stress and effort together and then i keep putting them off and procrastinate.
I don't see 300 of you talking about it in here, but you all show up for every Parler thread. At least be consistent.
Twitter is a business, not the State Department.
I get it. But also Twitter have positioned themselves as this kind of communication medium.

So they position themselves as a broadcast medium for politicians, elites, journalists, etc. and then these people use it like that, but then Twitter wants to maintain a particular narrative.

So, basically, you can have at it, but only what we allow you to say.

If it comes to that, they will wither as users evaporate.

Considering that the load impedance of audio amplifiers isn't always the same, it'd be a bad idea to measure output voltage in terms of gain compression points/clipping/max continuous.

I agree the term "RMS" is kinda miss-appropriated, but it's short and tends to understood as something reasonably close to what it's actually about.
If you live in a small town your cost of living is much lower. If you don’t spend money, you don’t need to make as much. I’m a consultant that integrates hardware and software that started with mobile and BLE IIOT and now perform maintenance on about a dozen mobile apps. A new push has been on node IIOT apps that run in docker containers. This has been challenging and a ton of fun. I also develop an independent app that designs and prints labels - https://label.live which is a React app via Electron.

At some point, if you go too high you end up in the Van Allen belts, which if I understand correctly are a really harsh place for spacecraft to be. Generally those orbits are used for parking bulky rubbish that's too much trouble to de-orbit.

Geosynchronous orbits are above the worst parts of the radiation belts, so maybe that's a good place for the ISS. Or even higher; it doesn't need to be geosynchronous. The main advantage of a low orbit is that it's easier to get to from Earth, but if you're just parking it long-term as a museum piece that doesn't matter as much.

I wouldn't expect Lagrange points to have much of a problem with clutter unless we decide to start parking enormous quantities of stuff there. Objects can spread out and orbit the points; as long as they're all going in about the same direction they should be able to avoid running into each other.
Well, no, he is wrong. Postgres can run on either x86 or ARM. You can do replication between them, no problem. There's no reason to run workloads on x86 just to get access to larger instance sizes at some point down the road. You can migrate Postgres on ARM to Postgres on x86, it's not even hard. Use what works best for you now and in the part of the future you have some visibility on. AWS might well announce bigger Graviton instances before you ever get there, if you ever get there at all.

"Vaccines or bust" was in reference to the parent comment, which seems to reflect a broader and widely held perception that any generic drugs must be a bad idea, and the only legitimate course of intervention is vaccines. It was not a (flatly absurd) claim that there are zero studies going on into various generic treatments.

Some doctors are refusing to use ivermectin to treat seriously ill patients because the FDA will not issue any recommendations regarding its use: https://buffalonews.com/news/local/after-judge-orders-hospit...

Yes, as a high school student who just fools around with their computer during online class (Linux, Gentoo, compiling and all that), it cannot be understated how many of my classmates play video games, watch YouTube, and watch Twitch. Those really are the big 3. I personally had to overcome a YouTube and video game addiction to get to a point where I was spending my free time in a mindful way, so I definitely can relate to everyone else.

YouTube hadn't really taken off until we were in middle school to early high school, so I couldn't imagine what internet addictions may be like in the future, seeing as quite a few toddlers of today grow up watching it. I suppose it's not too different to Television however.
Do you say Happy Birthday to people when you know it's not their birthday?

It's pretty much that simple. It's just good manners and common sense.

As someone whose heritage comes from a fairly radical side of European Christianity, the overworship of Christmas itself is idolatry, so I have no sympathy from that point of view either.

The article says the patch is going to take about a month to completely roll out.
None of the most popular package managers, such as those included in Ubuntu, Debian, or CentOS, include spyware by default. ("opt-out", aka "assume consent even if you don't have it".)

There are things like popcon that you can opt in to, but those are optional ("opt in"), and aren't on by default.

I think your last sentence answers your question. Writing is still primarily a recording or log of verbal communication. The best writing sounds like poetry and also conjures up the emotion and angst of the author. Technical writing which I assume you are addressing is more visual which is why it tends to be dry and hard for readers to stay engage.
That generation of hardware was very fast. The user interfaces of most things are more usable for more people, but have also bloated up and become slow.

There’s different limitations for some. Facebook Messenger is only one on one. I’m in as many group chats as one on one so it doesn’t help. I’ll have to check the WhatsApp one. If that works well, that would be pretty nice.
Coincidentally, I've been doing RE for many years, starting in the days of DOS and then moving into Windows, but it was only very recently --- less than a week ago --- that I had my first look at an app written in ObjC, and the first thing I noticed was the amount of information in the binary that seemed to almost give away most of its source: method, field, and class names everywhere. When I saw a method named something like checkLicenseSignature, I almost thought it was misdirection.

The second thing that I found astonishing was that these strings were actually being used by the runtime to determine what to call, i.e. something that in basically every other native language I've seen would be a direct or indirect call to an address or vtable offset. All this in an application that has no exported functions. I can definitely see how it would make RE extremely straightforward! Efficiency, on the other hand...
I'm merely making an in my view commonsense point. ICE engines are carefully regulated worldwide, certainly in any nation which would consider mandating a transition to electric vehicles. Subsidies and gasoline taxes encourage societal transition to make transportation as efficient as possible, without mandating a full phase out of gasoline as a power source.

Renewables have scalability issues. Grid scale renewable energy is possible but needs to be supplemented by either significant on-demand generation when the renewables are offline (at night, when wind is weak), or very large scale battery storage. Localized in-home energy storage is plausible but expensive to roll out. We are also talking about absolutely gigantic demand for raw materials to produce sufficient battery capacity to smooth out the renewable power generation curve.

My point is that in order to feasibly power a society which is heavily reliant on electric cars, power generation via renewables alone is not a viable answer.
The fact that palantir is still able to cultivate this much press coverage and phony mystique is a testament to their PR budget.

Logic also had a story about palantir this quarter. What I found most remarkable about that article is that the UI hasn’t changed in a decade! What looked edgy ten years ago now looks cheesy as hell.

I don’t know how the internals have changed over that time, but at that time, palantir was an entity resolver and a search engine. They also sold and continue to sell a ton of consulting services at mid-tier rates. In that sense their biggest competitor is... Booz Allen although they’d never admit it. BAH at least makes a profit.

A rollout could be smaller in scope yet be useful. Most parking lots have at least one street light... start by connecting the existing grid/infrastructure that already is there powering the streetlight, upgrading if necessary, to a handful of nearby parking spots. Go from there.

Take a step back and think about the ridiculous infrastructure build to support gas powered cars. Imagine a time before gas stations; someone doing a back of the napkin math about a future of cars would have also been met with disbelief - developers will have to invest millions/billions of dollars and build hundreds of thousand of stores across the entire country to sell gas? And how will those stores get the gas to sell? Truck it in?? That's just ridiculous.

It's more a genuine concern that continuing on this path will result in a federal government whose policies don't reflect the views of the vast majority of the nation. You can already see this on issues such as cannabis.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree that the EC adequately represents the people, since it takes the Senate numbers into account.

Ohoh!! Here's the money quote: "American culture". How is American culture relevant here? I thought we were talking about a religious holiday (Christmas), and that if the religion is sincere then you're trying to lead people by your witness to find Christ, beyond nationality and even culture. Christmas as such is simply a symbol, rather than an aim in itself.

It seems as if you're operating from an axiom that many other discussants do not agree on. No wonder the conversation seems like it's folks talking past each other.
On the other hand its pretty easy to retrofit car parks with chargers if there is demand for it. My building (which, to be fair, is a new construction highrise in seattle) has ~15% of its carpark with charging capacity and I suspect they could add more if needed.
Facebook announced an initial commitment of $130 million to launch its new Oversight Board, which is designed as a way for users to appeal the social giant’s content decisions, but the entity is behind schedule with initial board members to be announced in 2020.

The Oversight Board — which has been dubbed Facebook’s “Supreme Court” — will have the ability to make binding decisions independently of CEO Mark Zuckerberg or anyone else at Facebook. It’s set to launch in the first half of 2020, comprised of staff and board members independent of the company.

This is what Nazi apologia looks like in 2021.

"We need to use the cast system of the Nazis to classify their genocides. A Jew could never be a citizen of any nation, just like the Nazis said."

If you died in a camp you died in a camp.

The only reason why this is even an issue today is that it admitting that Slavs were a target in the holocaust would give legitimacy to Poland, Russia and Belarus being western-skeptic, given that they experienced literal genocide within living memory. And that in Europe the systemic racism against Roma is still acceptable and mainstream.
I think your dismissal of all analogies in making a point is detracting you from actually understanding their view.

Some analogies are made to demonstrate the similarities and some are made for the differences. The context is key. You just whiffed.

No, all the scenarios do not assume carbon capture and storage. The RCP 8.5 scenario is actually a high emissions scenario that experts think overestimates carbon emissions given existing trends.

I used it a lot way back. No complaints back then. Came back 6-12 months ago and both the Skype and Signal bridges were somewhat functional but silently stopped being connected and receiving messages very often.

Obv these kinds of things with unsupported potentially hostile APIs put high requirements of diligent maintenance.

IRC kept dropping connection and requiring new nickserv sign-in.

I thought libpurple/pidgin were mostly abandoned and that this would not be likely to improve , but it’s great to see that there’s hope and I might have been dismissing it prematurely.
Your next push is only as good as your last recovery. I'm surprised how often people focus on the work and neglect the recovery phase like nutrition, sleep, etc.
Perhaps they ought to give the US State Department moderation control (to suspend) of the handles for heads of state?

Does that sound like a good idea? No? Oh, but if Twitter does it, then it's good, even if they know nothing of what the State Department knows?

Sure, but there still needs to be a server somewhere that has the app developer's client certificate, connected to Apple, that knows when you get a DM and can send that zero-content "wake up and check your DMs" packet to your phone via APNS, which means it needs (given current apps permissions models) access to your DMs without you.
They have lots of members but it’s way down from say 30 years ago. And benefits have been pulled way back. The union agreed that existing GM employees can keep their packages ($50+ per hour) while new union members start at $18. Basically 2 tiers of union members.

Arguably, if you're using AWS, you've already compromised to a point where scaling horizontally is your path forward.

You've likely given up much more than 10-25% by using AWS in the first place (note to the false dichotomist: this doesn't mean owning your own servers). And paid a premium for the privilege.

If you're CPU-bound, get a E-2288G (or whatever the commodity chip that maximized price/$$ is right now) and set mitigations=off.

On the topic of free speech, this new wave of banning politician was one of the outcome people warned about. Once they start there is a long list of countries and politician that hold views that twitter will feel uncomfortable with. At some point there will be a ban near an election and statisticians that work with polls will detect a statistically significant effect from the ban. At that point twitter will be officially a US organization that are influencing other countries democratic elections.

It will be interesting to see if leaders in EU is going to wait and see, or act.

Interesting, but.. why throw Assange in the mix? Was he a "useful idiot" in this? I expect so, his aspy tendencies may have blinded him to how he was being used maybe (I'm not an Assange fan, in case it isn't obvious, but tagging him and brietbart in the same web of intrigue is... well bizarre)
This typo-laden response brought to you by Very Little Sleep.

If it wasn't obvious, libgaim became libpurple, not the other way around. Too late to edit the parent comment, but felt I should clear that up.
This is certainly location-dependent. I just went through an apartment search in San Francisco where one of my requirements was electric car charging. Yes of course SF is tech-forward, but most buildings are fifty years or older which makes installation of a charger non-trivial. I just signed a lease for an apartment that doesn’t have a car charger, but the property manager added an amendment which stipulated that one will be installed in a few months, otherwise I’m free to break from the lease. I’d say about half of the property managers I talked to across about 15 tours were amenable to it.

> I tried to find some numbers on the relative amount of chips in a standard ICE car vs. a BEV. I'd have to guess BEVs have perhaps even an order of magnitude more chips. Certainly, they have chips that are far more advanced, looking at the Tesla FSD computer[0].

Well, you could have FSD in an ICE car just as easily.

In fact, I'm going to guess an electric vehicle has fewer chips than an ICE car because it doesn't have an engine. Depends how many PMICs you need for the battery cells.

And then you posting your counter narrative - even if it's truth and reason - will result in you being ban/blocked from their threads. We're going to start to have big in-person forums where a person's truth and reason can't be quickly silenced so the potential mob will be smaller than otherwise.
Nope I get it and I think it’s absolute bunk. And while I grant others are entitled to their opinion I think the implicit dismissal of my (not uncommon) opinion is condescending. As pointed out RMS doesn’t support this idea, and while he’s not some absolute moral authority I’d say it’s a strong counter argument to some absolute consensus on a “spirit” of free or open source.
