As someone who wasted a decade on the game, i'm not interested in
minor pixel hacks that are irrelevant to gameplay(99.99% of time isn't spent on staring at objects) which remains a cookie cutter clickfest trash(
and a closest RPG game that is cookie-clicker like).
There is a reason game bots were pioneered with d2, the game is extremely repetitive and loot-centric pinata simulator.
If the mechanics didn't change its just the same game with extra makeup. D2 mods at least implement quality-of-life improvement, which often clash with the vanilla game expecting the player to maintain tasks and repeat routine actions(often requiring a town portal), as well as limited pool of viable builds(mods significantly expand the space of possible builds and item customization).
Anyone who played any decent D2 mod will know that QoL improvements and
diverse build pool is much more interesting long-term vs the improved graphics that will be 'novel' for a few days at best.
Why do you want to run MS SQL on Linux? What will you do when the db gets locked or crashes? You call Microsoft and wait?
So you say "buying" and "not selling" are two different things.

What if the first guy (who bought for $1) would sell for $50k and buy again for $50k within 10 minutes. Now you "see" $100k "there"? So within 10 minutes, your definition of "invested capital" has doubled?
Pop_OS is amazing.

They saw a chunk of Ubuntu users that didn't like where Ubuntu is heading and decided to step in and give them and alternative. They did no disappoint.
I think if the NSA want in they don't need to bother with stuff like this, and if Apple were forced to compel they wouldn't be documenting anything related to it

“The mRNA slips into our cells, carrying instructions to make antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2”.

No. The mRNA has instructions to reproduce part of the structure of the virus. Our immune system creates antibodies to the foreign and inert bits of virus.
There's no gas involved in any of these numbers. 3500 kWh/year is a typical number for pure electricity in Germany.
But Nano has a fixed supply, which given what we now know of Bitcoin acts as a serious disincentive for actual use. Nobody's going to spend a currency if its value fluctuates wildly based on speculative investment booms and busts, and Nano has gone up 700% since the beginning of January:

It's an important thing to do. We have to criticize our favourite system and push to make it better. Being on the defense against FUD and advocating for our system makes it a bit harder to do that, so outlets like this are key.
How the Tech Community Can Do Better for Black Women
After using a Linux distro as my main desktop OS, there was no way I was ever going back to the monstrosity that is Windows. No matter how bad Linux sucks in some regards, it is the black sheep of the family that will always have that special place in my heart.

Any program that is Windows only, will be run on a VM. I like my systems clean, focused, lightweight & minimal.
I'm personally not that worried about Fuchsia, OS adaptation is hard work for established fields and for fushia it would ve no exceptions.

Not to mention, that linux greatest strength is random people contributing to the kernel to get linux to work.

Only in young/new fields would I be worried fuchsia will get the lead and hobbyists will follow.

But then again Google's os could fail similarly to stadia.

What would that look like, would you quit? Give your boss an ultimatum? Something else?
So you are saying that if you are a solo founder and you have designed in redundancy then it's all good to take a holiday and not monitor anything?
Presumably you are a manager, managing individual contributors.

Your focus should be on making these 4 things as high quality and impactful as possible:

one on ones, ideally once a week with scheduled time for you and for them.

feedback - giving candid feedback to adjust behaviour and to motivate,

coaching - can you pair program, be available to walk through new processes together, review work product together and discuss how it could be better?

and delegation - can you identify tasks that your direct report can do, that will push them to be slightly beyond their current competence?

Honestly, most managers are bad at managing and didn't get promoted because they were good managers. If you are doing the above 4 regularly then you will be easily a top 10% manager.

For more see https://www.manager-tools.com/
not afilliated in anyway, but when I managed multiple teams those 4 actions we complete force multipliers.

Understand as a manager your job is not to provide the tactics or the 'how' of your direct reports work. You should provide the strategy, lay out the expected results and then judge based on the results.

There's a difference in 'Dave is a slow worker I don't like him' vs 'Dave is consistently not delivering the results we expect.'

You should also frame requests as 'this is what the business expects you to do', rather than asking for what you personally want.'

You should continuously talk about the how the culture within the business/department/team should be, and lead by example.

By reinforcing verbally to your colleagues 'this is what our culture should be' you can influence how the culture will be.
Don't naturally let it manifest based on the combined personalities of team individuals.

If after all that your direct reports are still not performing then your job is to coach more closely, and understand the reasons behind poor performance.

Then if after all that, if they are demonstrably a poor fit or not producing the required results, then you get rid of them, but not before.
I had the same horror dream from about 2 years old to 12. It repeated before sleep walking or when I had fever. It brought the same feelings and had the same motifs every time, and it was looping (I'd get massively scared and the dream would restart and the same sequence of events, quite long, would get to the end again). Sometimes I would get to explore a new motif in more details but this would happen after several repeats of the same old horror.

Characters and scenes looked a bit like they were out of a Disney movie (Aladdin, Pinocchio, I remember the guards from Aladdin and the princess/fairy from Pinocchio), which I guess I watched a lot when I was young.
Great info, thank you! I returned my first M1 Mac Mini to Apple because it would not boot into recovery mode.

I suspect even Apple's Technical Support agents don't know this second recovery mode exists; they didn't attempt it at the time.

Has anyone else had issues booting into recovery mode?
It really doesn't matter. Google is aiming Fuchsia at Android and Chromecast. The two biggest components of "Linux has won".

Google is in for the long game.
not exactly a sine wave but https://streamable.com/99ujca is an example.
Write good issue templates for features, bugs, and incidents. Do after incident reports, fix underlying issues by working to automate recovery or, at the very least, document the root cause and the recovery so you know how to do it manually really fast in case you don't know how to automate it yet.

Having clearly written incident reports tends to surface patterns that help you solve for a more general problem family or type, as opposed to playing whack-a-mole solving individual issues. Meaning the culprits will tend to become clear they're the "usual suspects". Some module or part of the code base, or functionality that's causing more crashes or outages in the code that will nudge you to write better tests for it, or find a better implementation, or better exception handling or validation, etc.

Doing this will either prevent future incidents, automatically recover from incidents, or speed up manual recovery while you try to figure out ways to automate this. All these amortize the pain, as you extract every bit of knowledge from these incidents and "institutionalize" that. You're a "solo founder", but there's no need future team members or "future You" have to go through all that: they'll have a knowledge base at their disposal when they join.

Apologize and explain things to your users.

Consistent, systematic effort.
"literal act of violence" isn't in the article. I haven't seen it in any article about this topic.
No, normal utilities have prices being updated maybe once a year. There's a middle option of spot prices with a cap (as a service). Unfortunately, Griddy is not that option, it's spot prices without a cap (by Griddy itself).

But it seems that the cap (as regulation) was also removed during this storm, which honestly none of these customers could have expected. When they signed up for Griddy, a legal cap was indeed in place.
If you state your opinion in a room with 3 other people, the chance that at least 1 of those people vehemently disagrees with your opinion are probably low. Especially since people self-select who to congregate with in rooms.

If you state your opinion in a virtual "room" with 300 million other people, the chance that at least 1 of those people vehemently disagrees with your opinion is a certainty.

Conflict is almost unavoidable on mass "social networks". Some people claim that you shouldn't live in an online "bubble", but I, uh, vehemently disagree. The only way to keep your sanity online is to live in a bubble, just as you do in real life, self-selecting which people to congregate with in rooms.

You may ask, having said that, why am I here in the HN comments? That's a good question, and the answer is obviously that I'm insane.

Does anyone find it weird that the author of the article claims that we actually need online arguments to "hone our thinking" or some such nonsense, but then immediately goes into an extended analogy about hostage negotiations? I don't know why we all need to become online hostage negotiators. If you want to learn something useful from a different perspective, go offline and read a good book.

The author says, "Taking a disagreement offline can work, but it should only ever be seen as a second-best option." Why???? Everything else the author said suggests it's actually the best option. I really don't see the point in online arguments. Do they ever get resolved? Not in my experience. In fact I fully expect the same (non-)outcome in any replies to my comment.
There have been rumors lately that Take-Two is going to announce a remake or remaster of both GTA3 and Vice City.
True, but they also could just as easily exit debug mode and allow the simulated universe to run to completion. It costs them nothing to do so, and gives the simulated universe a full lifetime. That changes the story from horror to a question of empathy.

It's such a bummer it doesn't support Android < 4 (which means Nook Simple Touch can't run it), considering it works so well on a pretty long list of different devices.
What if it is neither good nor bad?
The short reason is that if the user can do it, so can any application running as the user.

I don't know about you, but I'd prefer my applications not be able to inject and read inputs arbitrarily, though it may be that even stricter sandboxing is needed to make that a reality; Wayland being stricter than X11 is just one step along the way.
Avanza supports loaning out stocks depending on the account type, it is only available on Kapitalförsäkring because otherwise the stock is in your name (on Depå / ISK). Also you get paid a premium if they loan your stocks. It is described on https://www.avanza.se/konton-lan-prislista/konton/kapitalfor... and includes a section about the risk.
What is the benefit of using these services over, say, Firefox Sync?
I found this comment really interesting, thanks for sharing.

I guess I could say I'm a power user (long time LAMP stack dev), but I've never gotten my hands dirty with other distros / Desktop Environments other than vanilla Ubuntu.

I recently upgraded my PC which now has a decent Nvidia GPU (2070) along with an i7 and 32Gb of pretty decent ram - and yet I'm finding my Ubuntu experience (18.04) isn't particularly responsive.

The lag is especially noticeable whilst I'm on a Zoom team meeting and I change windows or adjust window sizes.

I'm now wondering whether I should give Kubuntu a try?
They did, but because you have infinite computing power all the lower levels completed the simulation in the time it took to shut down.
If it’s 100 random people off the street serving as a fair representation of the larger population there are some fair assumptions you can make.

1. Half that population, 50, represent people who abhor originality in any form. This could be due to low intelligence, poor focus, loneliness, or a variety of other reasons. This group will accept any opinion that binds people together, such as knowingly false appeals to popularity.

2. About 12 of the people left over are narcissistic. They do not have a personal opinion on any argument. Instead they will identify that former 50 and do what they can to influence them, which often means fighting with other narcissistic people to build tribal factions of echo chambers.

3. About another 12 people are outsiders. They don’t care about any of the arguments presented. They will sit in a corner and do whatever the fuck they want. These are the hermits and are social as necessary for resources.

4. About 8 of the people are super objective. Weighted distribution of evidence and data matter most. These are your scientist. Nobody listens to them. These people are a pain in the ass to the sheep and wolves.

5. About another 8 are influencers. They spread ideas around and keep people informed. Sometimes they might even offer an original contribution, but it’s rare.

6. The final 10 people are comedians.

Really though, the actual subject of any argument provided to that population is irrelevant. The motives of the various participants dictate the acceptance, validity, and attention of any subject.
> Most split keyboard and minimal keyboards make no sense anyway outside English environments.

Not sure what you mean by this. I've been using an Ergodox EZ for almost 2 years and I don't live in an English-speaking country. It's no different from using the US-INTL layout in any other keyboard.
If we're spitballing tinfoil type stuff, I'd guess it's in the NSA's interest to have American OS's like MacOS be as secure as possible. I'm sure they have access to any of Apple's certificate chains, cloud data, and could decrypt a Macbook as well as Apple could, but I don't see known software backdoors being desirable.
Project management is fine, needed even, you don't need and probably don't want to be in the countless client meeting where everything is bickering and bike shedding, and you don't want engineering to be the one coordinating the countless administrative task and being generally distracted by paperwork

Management is fine as long as it's a cog in the production chain; you can generally know if your management is healthy if the IT/Dev budget comes from the IT/Dev leads and if the contracting work requires IT/Dev signoff.

I get it, most places around see management as the steering committee, and quickly become disfunctional as their focus shifts in justifying their own budget, but that's because IT/Devs are a century behind in establishing their profession as specialists like lawyers and doctors and often find themselves in blue collar type positions, not from a specific property of having "management"

Just look at hospitals and lawyer firms, you'll find seniors doctors and lawyers at the top, and accountants in their own dept, and not the other way around.
Yes, correct. You could see it as: how much real money has been thrown into bitcoins and so has "disappeared" from regular money circulation.

(Probably thinking it has not really "disappeared" means bitcoin is worthless. But as I said, I'm not an economist.)
What point are you trying to make? The question was about paying taxes to the IRS, which is the American tax collection agency. The assertion was that Euro's were acceptable to the IRS while BTC was not, but that actually is incorrect.
Your question seems a little dismissive of Heroku but I work in that space and it is managed and reliable in a way beyond what you would get piecing your own infrastructure together.

Compound has no negative connotations, but is not really used in this context either.

Typically one would just say - the school, or perhaps the grounds. Campus is also common; but generally in the context where the school has multiple campuses.

As for discussion, no one ever wins an argument in my opinion. So whenever a discussion looks like it's heading that way the best thing to do is to drop it. Discussion is at its best when it's two open minded people politely exploring ideas

Interactive Brokers has a stock lending program and shares half the profits with their customers who opt-in. They are transparent about how it works. (Basically they deposit cash collateral to your account to cover the stocks they’ve lent out).

I think many other brokers do basically same, but aren’t transparent and don’t share the profits.

Laurie on Twitter: “ All tests passed”
Consider a herd of grazing mammals. All young, are by the very nature of the stage of life, easy prey. Now imagine social capabilities - the ability to communicate distress and cooperation to others.

Anyone not capable of these abilities, with any weakness at all, could be singled out - to be fed to the wolves. Social abilities become a weapon, to vandalize an outlier of the group.

This theory should be easily testable. If another member of society - which signals frailty (old, handicapped, etc.) is present to this group, the bullying should significantly reduced or even cease.
Yeah I think you're quite right that it's important to be able to defend yourself verbally, either using your wits, humour or by defusing a situation without losing face
The idea is that "a Herr Doktor is always right" is a holy commandment in Germany, just as important as the other ten and it should be noted along with the other ten. He's saying the Germans have forgiven Moses by now for leaving it out, but they still consider it as much a holy commandment as the others.
My main issue is with Scrum. The problem is that there is no balance.

Scrum started off as a way for software consultancies to make sure that the their clients could not ask for new features without repercussions. In other words, story points helped to make sure that if they wanted changes, and more stuff, then they would need to pay for it.

You do not have this balance within a company, because there is constant pressure to increase velocity. This is why there is so much burnout within the industry. There is constant pressure to do more and to do it faster.

To the OP's point, there are so many scam Agile coaches out there, who can't write a fizzbuzz function. I've met many of them. You know what the worst part is? They think they're adding value by just pushing people constantly.
there's nothing to be confused about, C is one of the few languages that gets it right (the base language... the stdlib is a different story)
I think he's wrong. I think this is like when everyone predicted Web Assembly would take over the world.

There's something to be said about being able to fiddle with everything and anything on both a server, and a desktop.

Android is pretty much closed, same for mac and windows. Linux gives you a lot of freedom. I don't see desktop Linux really ever having a large market share, but I do expect that there will be a thinning of options.

His points about maintenance of large projects is valid. But it is how new solutions get built.

I'm surprised that AWS hasn't busted into the Linux space to put pressure on the other cloud competitors.
> What you then get is every bit as good as regular 1TR, with one significant exception: you can’t set the system security state using the Startup Security Utility. Apple explains that this is because “LLB [Low-Level Bootloader] doesn’t lock an indication into the Boot Progress Register saying it is going into recoveryOS”. But for all other purposes, this is just as good as 1TR, and is identical.

What does this mean? Do you have more rights than you usually would, less rights, or the same?

However, it's very much not a part of the nature of our other close relatives, the bonobos, whose conflict resolution mechanisms can be literally described as "make love, not war".
