Treated lumber is generally considered to be fairly fireproof (comparable, though with different precise failure modes than steel or concrete). It depends on exactly what kind of wood is being used. A treated 12x12 beam is very fire resistant, plywood is less so.

The issue is you'll have lots of plastic (cabling) in a DC, and plastic will burn
It prompts you every time and can be configured to have a default option.
I don't like the hidden scroll bars either, so I've set "Show scroll bars" to "Always". If I understand correctly, Simon wants his web site to display a scroll bar on a system that isn't so configured. I'm not sure why--does it mess with the viewport width or something?

Edit: simonw just posted more information on this thread.

Hi Jamdrese,
Need one urgent help for memtest
Can you please share your code. I want to test it on my system?

I got your reference from below;

jandrese on Dec 1, 2014 | parent | favorite | on: Memcpy vs. memmove

It's fun to benchmark memmove and memcpy on a box to see if memcpy has more optimizations or not. On Linux x86_64 gcc memcpy is usually twice as fast when you're not bound by cache misses, while both are roughly the same on FreeBSD x86_64 gcc.
Linux (2.4Ghz Xeon X3430):

./memtest 10000 1000000

memcpy took 0.575571 seconds

memmove took 1.082038 seconds

FreeBSD (2.0Ghz AMD Athlon64 3000):

./memtest 10000 1000000

memcpy took 1.487334 seconds

memmove took 1.442741 seconds
I'm in Firefox on Windows and would not have noticed that the table is scrollable either.

The horizontal scrollbar is way down below row 100 (about 6 pages of vertical scrolling to get there), and since column sorting is set at the top you don't go down to the bottom of the table unless you're looking at it thinking "I wonder what dam has the 100th largest capacity?"

Maybe different for someone taking a serious look through the data, but for anyone getting a glanced impression off of it they're going to sort by X and look at the top 10-20 rows.

There's nothing stopping the mouse from dragging exactly like with the finger: click, move, release.

In addition to that, most mice have a scroll wheel.

I don't think I understand the issue you're referring to.
I haven't used OBS, but OBS is more a "producer" app, not very consumer oriented, so it mught be a pain to setup it you just want to layer to independent streams at once for a one time thing

I think that a process of clicking a link (meshstreams.io/streamer1,streamer2) would let you download a script that would install FFMPEG and open both streams in VLC
On mobile it makes sense, since the user has much more direct control over the scrollable area and the area is quite small.
The thing is, apple has been trying to converge the desktop and mobile UI into one single interface, and this is a prime example where this approach fails.
A visible scrollbar is extremely important to the desktop user, but not really so to the mobile one.
they have 2 data centers in the US
To be honest, nobody needs text unless they read it. Moreover, all these different typefaces, sizes and tints are a serious threat to any corporate UI identity and professional UX. Especially, as texts from various sources are fighting for the display and user attention. Let's get rid of visible text, unless you hover or swipe on it! Much cleaner UIs and smooth UX are guaranteed, which is exactly what customers want!

(Disclaimer: this is obviously in the sarcasm category, but is still meant to provide viable food for a thought experiment.)
I've seen so many broken web components do this:

1. Hover over an element that enables the visibility of something else

2. Trigger an overflow and cause scrollbar to show up

3. Scrollbar shifts the original element

4. Original element is no longer being hovered so new element gets hidden

5. Scrollbar disappears and original element moves back

6. Repeat
David Baszucki, the CEO of Roblox (they IPO today on the NYSE) is concerned about "civility" in virtual worlds. Roblox needs about 2500 moderators to keep their users under control.

Second Life, the virtual world, does not have this problem in-world. Second Life averages about 40,000 to 50,000 connected users, comparable to GTA V Online. Second Life does not have an army of "moderators". What it does have is private property.

Anyone can enter Second Life for free, but after a while, you probably want some land and items, which costs money. (Land comes from the owners of Second Life; items are entirely user-created.) You can also rent out land, and so, there are landlords, small ones with a few lots and big ones with square kilometers of land. There's public land - streets, water, parks, railroad track - but you can't build there.

Once you own land, you have the power to exclude others from it. Both users and their objects can be ejected. Clubs, stores, amusement parks, etc. are all privately owned. So there's a form of moderation, one that's entirely local.

Linden Lab has a small "Governance" team. They don't have to do much. They have a public meeting once a month. It used to be every two weeks, but there wasn't enough business to discuss. Most of the issues that come up involve someone obstructing a road, or excessive advertising signage. It's like a city council meeting.

You can file "abuse requests" with Governance. They're mostly about land issues. There's occasional "griefing", but it's a minor nuisance, like littering. Anything being done on someone else's property, the property owner can deal with. Most property is set by its owner with a timeout for foreign objects left there, so stuff left around is returned to its owner after half an hour or so. All public places have such a timeout, usually a rather short one.

Unlike most virtual worlds, Second Life allows sex. There are "adult" areas, and in addition, what you do on your own property behind closed doors is your own business. This keeps sex-based griefing down. In the non-adult areas, annoying users get ejected from private property, and in the adult areas, nobody cares.

Somehow, they got this right.
Need to is pretty strong. My company did UX testing on scroll bars and the overwhelming majority of our users on laptop scroll using the keyboard or the scroll wheel (which on laptop is done using two finger dragging). I forget the exact number but it was less than 10% of users actually interact with the scrollbar.
Plus, is not "reduce motion" a very common setting to get away from useless animations? I recall using that setting to make the whole iPhone feel snappier.
Probably a trackpad?
They are ok with his kind of scrolling but mice are tricky, especially for horizontal movement
Go to System Preferences -> General and change “Show scroll bars” to “When scrolling” to get the behavior you want.

All the more reason to find out the rationale.
Re word documents do go in document systems in the hiring firm so they might be the one asking for that.

As for the latter. You don't have one CV you have a separate CV for each application and tune it to the ad. The ad is what the hiring firm is interested in and if you fit their needs and not does the firm fit your needs, that is for you to discover from the ad or from the interview process
I consulted with MIPS and ARM many years ago - pre Y2K (background is microprocessor design and firmware). ARM was a little formal but easy to work with, cooperative and supportive (they opened doors and provided everything I asked for).
Working with MIPS was a nightmare, every step of the way. Weren't responsive, difficult to work with, engineers were stubborn, etc.

I realize these are generalizations and I'm a sample size of one. But I was plugged in at a pretty high technical level with both companies, and I remember telling my wife at the time that I thought ARM would skyrocket and MIPS would be unable to get out of its own way.

Glad I bought a lot of ARM stock before most people knew about them.
Well, for any collectible item an important factor is "provenance", i.e. is there a legitimate reason to believe the item originated from a credible source.

At least nfts now require people to also forge the provenance, which provides an additional hurdle to forgers (my best attempt to steelman the "pro nft" argument)

For instance, if a great great grandson of Henry VII sells a medallion that he claims belonged to his ancestor, that would have more weight than a similar medallion from a random individual, because it's far less likely for a relative to also be a blatant forger. In theory at least, nfts provide a similar (limited) assurance.
90’s baseball. I worked at Pac Bell park from beginning to opening day. When they all arrived in black SUV’s, I as shocked at the size of most of those guys, especially Bonds, and McGuire. Their heads were huge too? I had know idea about HGH, or steroids. I just thought they were fit, and strong. Bonds hit a practice ball over right field durning out work hours. It was so effortless. It was actually the first ball hit into the bay, and an electrician jumped into the water to fetch it. He wasn’t a good swimmer, so someone threw him a extension cord. It was a hot cord, and lucky blew the GFCI. (I still recall Dr. Dean Edell stating all the studies steroids/hgh show no correlation to athletic performance. Later he revised his statement, but didn’t point to new studies? I’m still not convinced. I still think Lance Armstrong won on the Placebo Effect.)

Also style of play is a factor. In basketball, thanks to various analytics, 3 pointers are becoming more important. 3-point shooting records have been breaking all over the place these days in the NBA.

OTOH, because of the playing style changes, certain records might never be broken such as John Stockton's assists record. It was already a ridiculous record, but it would be much harder to break with the current style of play.
Exactly, that reliability of Xorg is a function of its age and doesn't imply anything about the correct design of a Wayland compositor. What's the chance those Wayland crashes were in the window management code rather than the rendering, protocol, clipboard, and drag/drop handling code? dwm is 2000 SLOC to Xorg's 1 million or so. I don't think splitting out the WM code would have gained much.
price, also elaborate hardware customizations are not possible and then you are still running on hypervisor vs baremetal.
Which is why "off" is still a great security tool. A copy on a non-powered device, even if that device is attached to the network, is immune to worms. There is something to be said for a NAS solution that requires a physical act to turn on and perform an update.

I don't exactly like invisible scrollbars either (and it sucks that Gtk+3/Adwaita has adopted thin/invisible scrollbars in Linux) but modern mice have dedicated scroll wheels.
Are you still getting a quarterly dividend at 3.25% APY from KO? (Coke)

I think that KO stock you have might still be valued, and probably valued well. Just stay away from the stupid memes, and you'll find plenty of value.

------

Does the stock O still have a good dividend? Does O still follow the general trends of real-estate as expected? (Ex: O's assets are mostly houses in residential areas. O largely goes up when the housing market is good, and goes down when the housing market is bad).

As such, O provides you with a low-cost way to expose yourself to the real-estate market without having to invest 6-figures to do so. That's plenty of value right there. Short-selling O, or buying call/put options on O can similarly provide more sophisticated financial instruments against the housing market.

---------

I don't know what your expectations of the stock market are. But... a quarterly dividend from my dividend stocks + exposure to hard to enter markets are the main jobs of it for me. And I think its pretty good at both.

While I respect Drew's right to keep Nvidia hardware unsupported, doing so cuts out a huge chunk of Linux video game players users. I therefore find it unsurprising that video games have a number of issues that day-to-day use cases don't. Even though this is AMD, lack of Nvidia support keeps Xorg as the default for video games, and this means worse AMD support too.

> horizontal scrolling is just abhorrent UX for everything but maps

Why? It seems to get the job done in spreadsheets.
I think we agree that it's legitimate to motivate HoTT on the grounds of pursuing proof assistants/formalized mathematics, and that other justifications – like competing with ZFC to be a "foundation of mathematics" in the philosophical sense – are not compelling. So whether it's reasonable at all for me take issue with the HoTT hype turns on whether they're offering justifications beyond practically efficient formalization.

I read the introduction to the HoTT book again and it seems to clear to me the justifications offered there go well beyond just better proof assistants. ("Homotopy type theory also brings new ideas into the very foundation of mathematics.") This is also my experience reading HoTT-adjacent people on Twitter (John Baez, random grad students). They clearly have some, I don't know how to put this, fundamentally aesthetic concerns with set theory, and offer various arguments like the ones we agreed were bad.

I appreciate you pointing out that it is possible to make a totally reasonable case for HoTT as a research program that does not resort to such arguments. So I am left wondering why so many other people fail to do this.
An Anatolian livestock guardian dog is a vastly superior natural guard dog, compared to a GSD. They can not be bribed with food, and they spend every second of their waking day looking for intruders to destroy. Very gentle with children and small dogs, though.

Downsides include being extremely smart but not very trainable (smart like a wolf) -- they decide what's a threat and what isn't, and they don't care about your opinion. They guard naturally. Also, you may find yourself having to bury dead coyotes on occasion, as they will murder any that are stupid enough to intrude.
It has all the properties of a store of value. Scarcity, durability, portability, fungibility and divisibility. If we compare assets on their fundamental properties, then we arrive at the conclusion that bitcoin is the best asset for storing value. Then, markets decide the relative value to other assets by buying and selling. The upwards movement in price discovery will continue until value from inferior assets, such as gold and real estate, has transferred to bitcoin. After that, bitcoin's price will stabilize around $15 million per bitcoin, and continue increasing with economic growth.
I recommend Spark as mail client on iOS. It doesn’t do anything crazy with its UI so I find it easy to use.
It also explains why discoverability on iOS is incredibly poor for those who haven't used it often or before.

> I mean, in principle, if you gave re-breathers to the workers and have some airlocks, you could afford to keep that atmosphere permanently,

At this point I feel like it would be cheaper just to not have workers go there. Fill the place completely full of nitrogen with an onsite nitrogen generator (and only 1atm pressure). Have 100% of regular maintenance and as much irregular maintenance as possible be done by robots. If something happens that requires strength/dexterity beyond the robots (e.g. a heavy object falling over), either have humans go in in some form of scuba gear, or if you can work around it just don't fix it.
Interesting. Would you suggest to have the scrollbar visible?

Appliances are comparatively cheaper now because production has been moved to low-wage countries. And also because of productivity increases from automation.

Tax Consequences of John Oliver’s $15M Medical Debt Forgiveness (2016)
I totally agree with the sentiment that unit tests and type checking are not mutually exclusive and, in fact I'd go further to say, are mutually beneficial. I've said this elsewhere on this topic that if JS had native types, I'd probably use them.

The assertion I am making here is a little more nuanced, insofar the premise of my argument is that as unit test coverage can and does offer a reliable (if not more verbose) way to assert type correctness of an application. Given that premise, I think its a deductively valid conclusion to make that the tradeoffs of introducing a significantly dense transpiling toolchain to the same application may not always be worth it.
I miss this behavior all the time when using Windows. I recently discovered that Windows actually has a setting to enable this behavior, but it's up to each individual application to check for the setting and implement the behavior. And as far as I can tell, literally no one does.
Having to scroll to get any controls to appear is such a mediocre UX
I've read your account here and I'm finding your blog enjoyable. You are a beacon on these forums. It's a pleasure to meet you. HMU some time; we should be friends.
Not interacting with it doesn't mean you don't use it - I glance at it to see if there is more content and where in it I am, even though I use the scroll wheel to move.
After the total loss of one data-center I would tend to disagree with this statement.

Personally I don't see how supporting the proprietary nvidia drivers would help my situation as I am using Mesa (and Noveau is supported afaik (?!)) but I assume there is a kernel of truth in there that a lot of people cannot/won't even consider sway because they are on proprietary nvidia stacks.

My guess is the close quarters nature of drug testing (most protocols involve physical observation of the person giving the sample during the process) is a concern during COVID.
The article is specifically about the sport of athletics, better known as track and field in the US; it has nothing to do with basketball.
>> Why does covid affect the drug testing?

Because they cannot visit the athletes randomly. Because the athletes aren't training every day at a center, instead are training solo at lots of different places. Because much testing is tied to specific events (eg olympics) that have been cancelled. Cancel enough events and multi-month windows open where athletes know they will not be subject to testing.

And with fewer events, those that are still happening become much more important. If there is only one qualifying event on the calendar then there is all the more pressure to perform on that day. There is no point in saving anything for the rest of the season. So athletes will risk injury if that means doing a little better that one day. If they are hurt they know they will have have a long while to recover.
They are converging their desktop ui towards their mobile ui.

The scrollbar is learned functionality; if users know it, they know what to do. If you haven't seen it before, then it is not obvious and it is not an obvious way to interact compared to a scroll gesture on trackpad or a touch screen.

Apple can see that more user will be coming that are used to mobile os'es than users experienced in classic desktop ui's.

Apple is correct in hiding the scrollbar.
Thanks, that's indeed the tool. Sorry I should have linked that.
I think this is the most important comment. Most people don't realize until much later, that everything is a trade. This for that. You get an advanced degree at the cost of: higher income? free time? finding the right partner? That's what life is about. Everything has a price, and not knowing the cost is the biggest mistake.

Self replication of information with mutation and evolution would be my definition, which would include viruses, but not crystals, AI could be included if it could evolve on its own.

I think in reality like most things its not black and white, there is a continuum of life and some things are more alive than others.

Edit: perhaps adapting to environment through mutation/evolution or learning or both might be better.
I would guess the reason that auto-hide is not switched on by default is that it’s jarring and ugly to have it appear and disappear.

With scrollbars, auto hiding /re-appearing isn’t even something I notice happening.
