Maybe my definition of a "niche" subreddit is different, but these just look like broad, generally popular categories.

Like click Sports and Games and the top on is... /r/sports? Sure, it's relevant, but is it niche? I don't really see how this is much better than just typing "$myInterest reddit" into a search engine.

Unless I'm missing something, I just don't see how this helps my find a subreddit for my niche.
You are quite right in that it doesn't work this way, I am advocating a change in the law. Remember copyright is a temporary monopoly granted to promote science and the useful arts.
> You could also add HBO to either plan for $15 a month

Please note that that was only a channel (or two). You still had to tune to watch the movie/show you wanted! For the same price today (not even adjusted for inflation), you can watch any of this content on demand, on any device, but it has waaay more content available.
g Ctrl-A increments all the numbers, but every instance gets incremented by one than the previous.
First line would be Enum1, second Enum2, third Enum3. It's a really neat feature imo.

Though I did make a mistake, if you selected everything it'd catch the name numbers too, so you'd have to go into visual block mode and only select the enum parts, then do g Ctrl-A.

That said the numbers probably weren't supposed to be taken seriously now that I think about it.
Have used Neovim 0.5 for quite some time now. It has been an incredible experience and I cannot see myself moving away. Prior to this I was using coc.nvim. Over the last many months, the Neovim community has certainly lowered the barrier to entry configuring LSP. There were a few times I spent way too many hours attempting to get everything playing well together. The installation process has become much more streamlined and beginner friendly.
Agreed, I would love to hear more about the management plane. I'm glad it's API-driven, but I still have some questions about things like which hypervisor they are using.

If it's a custom software stack, might be nice to get a miniature dev-kit!
This is why you should live as far away from a gas station as you can!
I've seen USB-C cables for sale at most gas station convenience stores, both C to C and C to A. I've seen lots with car 12V to USB-C as well. They're not rare around me.
You can do all that in any of the major music programming languages. Max, Pure Data, Csound, Supercollider, all have tons of facilities for this kind of thing.

The Cipriani & Giri books for Max cover working with samples and loops in great detail and are fantastic books.
Tbh, probably completely off topic, but the first thing that came to mind are alcohol regulations at least in CA preventing vineyards and distilleries from opening or operating restaurants...hence the rise in "educational tasting/pairing classes"
A big tangent but I remember a podcast with Sir David King, UK chief scientific advisor

- So, Sir David, what's worries you most?

- The Greenland Ice Sheet. If it melts human civilisation is finished.

- oh. And err is it melting?

- Yes, and accelerating.

- Oh.
How to To_string() in Rust
It looks like they're doing 2u half width nodes, so I'd strongly suspect each node is 1TB of ram, one epyc 7713p, and 10 3.2TB u.2/u.3 drives.

eta: also suspect 30TB total just means they're leaving 64GB ram for the hypervisor OS on each node.
The Martian is the first thing that comes to mind as good Sci-Fi with very little social commentary, there is some politics/drama but it's mostly about the Sci-Fi.
Suspect each node is both storage and compute.

Guessing they aren't counting threads (they say "cores"), so 64 cores per socket, 128 cores per server, 16 servers => 2048 cores.
That reminds me a lot of the Sun Microsystem mega servers from 20 years ago. Those were kind of the cure-all solutions to high scalability web services before Google et al. pioneered cloud-like services on commodity software.
SCP-055 sounds very much like the mnemonomorph in the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. I can't remember her name...

Maybe SCP-055 escaped to Jasper Fforde's universe, or vice versa
Yes. It's a pretty good spaz filter. If somebody doesn't have the attention span to read/respond to emails, then I'm probably not going to enjoy working with them.
Yeah, colorspaces are deep voodoo (but good voodoo). I say that as a photographer who started out before digital imaging was a thing.
There are unimaginable mineral resources under the Greenland ice sheet, stuff that literate humans have never seen and which is therefore not describe in any history. There should be enormous boulders of pure copper, rich deposits of gold, silver, and lead, and of course mercury. Greenland without its ice sheet will be like a museum of pre-human geology.
A related point: check how close you (and your kids especially) live/ work/ go to school near a gas station. Benzene exposure from living near a gas station is surprisingly high and there's a definition cancer correlation.
I'm an idiot. I thought this was like the SGI UV300 where you'd view the whole thing as a single computer and everything would be NUMA'd away. It looks like it's not like that, though.
You are not wrong that its over the top to use that kind of language, but if you don't actually read the article to see if the author indeed making an argument without any established facts, you aren't making any more of an attempt at objectivity as a reader than the author is.
You have to install it as an app on slacks side. Some employers don’t allow that.
Vertical wildmenu (as opposed to horizontal in the statusline) is the most recent nvim goodie. Also clipboard integration via providers is nice for remote work (:helpgrep lemonade).

Made the switch originally because of swifter highlighting, less display issues and the builtin terminal.

My setup also still basically works with vim too
France "improved" after the Revolution if you ignore that minor tangent where, in the chaos and confusion that followed, a man declared himself emperor and thought to conquer all of Europe (starting a series of wars that lasted for more than ten years and killed millions.)

But at least Europe got much needed civil reform in the process, I guess?
This comes from the Scope Guard Statement in D, from an idea originally proposed by Andrei Alexandrescu and Petru Marginean.

This is terrible for colorblind people.
The people who would benefit most from hiding like counts are also the people who will probably not disable like counts.
Looks interesting. I wonder if the high integration makes it behave as a single-image machine with that many cores.
for what they're advertising there, on the order of $1mm, based on underlying hardware costs.
YMMV. Subreddits still need good moderators to succeed.

For me, the sweet spot is:

1. If I want to buy a $PRODUCT, I find the subreddit for enthusiasts of $PRODUCT and see if they have a wiki or a stickied post or a sidebar that has accumulated recommendations and/or advice.

2. Some subreddits are more about the stickied general discussion thread than the rest of the subreddit.

3. There are lots of subreddits, and many of them were started specifically out of some grievance with a different subreddit. Are you sure there isn’t a “EDC-but-no-guns” subreddit, if that’s what you really wanted?

Students with full-ride scholarships (not just at Princeton and Stanford) typically come from households making <65k a year, with around a third (might have changed since mid 2010s) being near the four-person household poverty line.

I would hardly call that elite. For many of these students, these schools are the primary mechanism for class mobility -- taxing their scholarships is a hindrance that many can't afford. At this point, college is so expensive and so much of that is taxable that work study is an accounting trick to offset the tax liability -- this forces poor students, literally not the elite, to operate with unnecessary time and financial pressures.
Because we indeed have been proven, time and time again, that people will rarely pay a premium for UX.

We will complain about it, mock it, but rare are those willing to pay more for it (or even merely change products), unless the advantage is significant (ie Netflix vs P2P & streaming websites)

Regarding Netflix, honestly, their UX is a mess.
Besides that I think most of the plot wouldn't be all that different with slower drives, there'd just be longer stretches of nothing happening and more spinning stuff.
What the author fails to account for is that even if Stripe is a mouse, the majority of its customers are insects. Small businesses with <$10000/mo revenue are not going to care about Stripe's other services because the small business only has a few avenues of revenue generation anyways. Larger businesses have the capital to just cut Stripe out when they need to. Not everyone who uses Stripe is making millions of dollars a year, and not everyone needs to worry about their payments provider nullifying their business model when they sell coffee down the street.
It's in the same spirit certainly, but it's just not complete. For example its interaction with other plugins means you get thrown back into normal mode a lot. Also I just think the name "easy" betrays its real intention as some sort of training wheels for newbies. I'm more interested in making non-modal editing a first class citizen.
My first thought, write another one ... second thought, have you looked at Pod casting? Scott Sigler, J. C. Hutchins, and Nathan Lowell all seem to have made some progress that way.
> and this is somehow all Apple's fault?

Unfortunately yes. Apple (or MacOS specifically) doesn't support DisplayPort MST, which allows using multiple displays over a single DisplayPort connector. Since non-thunderbolt usb-c video is just DisplayPort, that means many usb-c docks with multiple display outputs don't work. Now why MacOS supports multiple video outputs over Thunderbolt and doesn't support MST is beyond me, but everything else does.

I like graph theory. You draw some shapes, you draw some lines. It's like the kind of things you can do with your crayons.

I reckon kids could be introduced to it earlier in friendlier language.
I condensed my post for brevity, there's no exact defined boundary between aeons or how that transition exactly occurs.

One could arguably say it's when there are no fermions from the previous one anymore, but that can be contested.
Yes, usually just clamp the integrator's accumulator value so that when the actuator is outside the linear control regime (eg. maxing out motor current because we're in the end-stop), the output of the controller doesn't continue increasing to infinity.

(Another way is stopping integration when control output is at its physical limit, usually in addition to a numeric limit.)

As with all other PID parameters, this is something you'd have to figure out more-or-less empirically.

Testing with hardware would be checking that controller outputs stop increasing while the actuator is blocked away from its target value, usually running with much reduced speed/current etc limits. Ideally, of course, run unit tests and SIL, before trying it on actual hardware.

> At Musk’s target price for Mars flights, someone as rich as Bezos could pay for half a million people to go to Mars.

That won't matter if SpaceX has a monopoly on the air they breath, the food they eat and the water they drink. One of the first legal questions they will grapple with is "Does earth law apply on Mars/to Martian citizens? Or is Bezos' contract moot"

Look at the history of colonization if you want to see the dynamic of human nature/greed/fiefdoms away from the mother country that is several-month's journey away. The Dutch East India company or the British South Africa Company may be decent case-studies, the only difference being that they could "live off the land" and exploit the natives. There are no natives on Mars, but I can't rule out exploitation.
JSON API would be my preferred name.
That's interesting. The article says that, until recently, the company didn't know that their teapot is so famous.
On Ubuntu it's as easy as an `apt upgrade`.

Although I pay the fee happily, this does seem wrong. It seems to me that as a software provider you have two choices:

1. Make it a monthly (or whatever) subscription for the latest version (eg Photoshop)

2. Charge for a new version (eg apt install ST3 vs apt install ST4)
I doubt the blood sugar level is more important to color than different display types/models and/or different rendering software.

I think the issue is more about consistency than true color/fidelity as true fidelity/color sharing between individuals is impossible at this time.
Professional video equipment exists for a reason.
The problem is more fundamental. The financial system is based on the immoral and parasitic practice of usury. The fiat money we use today is controlled by the whim of the government, which borrows money from the Fed with usury. It has to print money to pay it back because due to usury, it keeps increasing.

The roman branch of christianity (from which Roman Catholicism and protestantism arise) are hugely influenced by lawyers and roman law, which emphasises sinning and punishment a lot. If you are a sinner your priest is a parole officer.

The eastern christianity still recognises sin, but treats it more like a disease, the priest is more of a doctor.

I find this more appealing from a philosophical point of view, yet I lack any reason to believe.
The protomolecule stuff drives the plot of the entire story. It's why the conflict happens, and how the characters end up in the middle of it, from the very first episode. And it keeps building on that all the way through the show and the books. The focus remains on humanity, but the alien stuff provides the motivation for the ongoing human response.

Also, advanced alien tech in pretty much all science fiction follows Arthur C. Clarke's dictum about magic. Of course they're going to be able to do things humans don't understand. Do you really think we would be able to explain everything a billion+ year old civilization could do?
Why? Has MS not heard of Chocolatey? pretty much does it, and is just popular enough that most things are available there. They had 20 years to do it, and decided to do it when not needed.

Like Firefox instead of improving the browser speed and reduce bugs, just keeps implementing existing extensions that they will not do better.

I can see the strategy "wait for someone to crack it, and then copy", it just seems petty and a waste of time
I’m not immersed in IRC culture but I used to hang out on Freenode a bit, and I think it’s quite obvious that top-down dictatorial decisions like the recent “hijacking” of channels for mentioning Libera (or whatever actually happened there) are toxic to community building. To the people actually doing the community building, choosing Freenode now looks a bit like founding a city in the shadow of an active volcano, with a capricious force immune to accountability who can (and demonstrably will) nuke your decades-old community structures without any meaningful warning.

FOSS is rife with stupid drama and I don’t think either “side” here is an exception, but the recent “purge” goes above and beyond. I would absolutely never consider trying to start a community there now, for entirely pragmatic reasons.
Thank You, the use or Renderman makes much more sense.
/r/DataHoarders really hasn't disappointed me so far.
Sometimes those are useful. I've got a Canon camera which can charge by MicroUSB, but if it detects any data it doesn't engage the charger and does data only. So having a power only cable is the only way to charge it without taking the battery out and putting that on a charger.
They are highly paternal and even evangelical about it, with very sensitive warnings about how the output is "harmful" and we'll make it "safe". Avert your eyes children! We will protect you and ensure textual purity in accordance with the church.

Which large company sponsors Bitcoin?

ActivityPub?

Matrix (before they landed their gov contracts etc)?
No, single system image is really expensive (see Superdome Flex) and most workloads can't justify that cost.
I just use a fixed count, like 5j5j5j or whatever to get me close, then jjj or whatever.
My micro-USB charging cable is worse than that. It appears to transfer data but it always flips a few bits. Quite surprisingly, no part of the protocol stack catches this. The cable quietly delivers slightly broken files.
> My girlfriend somehow grew up completely unaware of Star Trek, so I introduced her to The Next Generation

That is not how I would describe Star Trek: the Next Generation. Every season ends with a cliffhanger.

I think those of us who have been vim users for a while can still appreciate intuitive design. :) Moreover, this could be entirely backwards compatible--you could have a single boolean "sane-defaults" flag which defaults to false (for our dear legacy users) but which new users can override.
There are already plenty magnetic USB cables, most will only carry power or maybe USB 2.0 though
It's really not.

I'm a computer geek, and I'm LONG past the point where setting up safe VMs and signing up to half a dozen services like newsgroup server and directories and search engines and what nots, download software with impossible names like sabnzbd (I'm waiting up for somebody to scream how nobody uses sabnzbd anymore, it's been replaced by jidwiaj and iqerqip, which are super easy, and that just proves my point:P), setup my own webservers that talk to themselves internally so my downloader would work with my cataloguer that would work with the sorter that talks to the video player, figuring out a VPN to keep me somewhat safe while introducing a whole 'nother threat vector... gawd I get a headache just thinking about it. And I end up paying the same as I would for 2-4 monthly legit services. And then my wife wants to watch this movie that's just come out and I download eight versions of it but four are fake and two have hieroglyphic subtitles in three languages baked into video stream and take up half the screen. And then it stops half way through. And then I'm on a business trip (remember those? hah!) and my family wants to watch something and now I have to spend 47 minutes on the phone trying to guide her on how to do that before we all quit in frustration.

My few friends who still do that try to get me back on board, and their "quick & easy explanation on how to do it because it's so easy now" is still three pages long, while skipping 70% of crucial steps & detail.

Just, NO. Whoever thinks piracy is "trivially easy" has a very specific mindset (Hey, it's OK, I used to as well...!), and lacks empathy for those with different mindset/circumstances/skills/priorities... who happen to make up the clear majority of public.
The issue mainly stems from the way macOS does UI scaling.

To get UI elements the right physical size for a 27” 4K screen it would render to a 5120x2880 (i.e. 2560x1440@2x) framebuffer then do a non-integer scale back down to 4K. Sharper than 2560x1440 to be sure, but you can notice the blurring it introduces.

Basically all large hi-DPI monitors for Macs are a compromise except the Pro Display, which is like $5000.

* I agree. But also parent has a point, Crimea, election hacking, extrajudicial poisoning on British etc soil didn't have a robust response - that we know of at least.

I do think Trump was very dangerous and damaging in regards to NATO and pushing our allies away. By not understanding that 'america first' means so much more than simply scraping a few billion more from allies. That's playing checkers in terms of only being able to think in slogan-first 1st order logic. 2nd order or more is understanding why NATO was formed in the first place and the current role it has advancing our interests.

And I think it's critical to actively work against movements of authoritarian nationalism and hold Europe and our allies together.

I'm glad and think Biden is doing a better job in the Pacific in that regard.

The native LSP support is solid (auto-completion, diagnostic feedback) and there are a wide variety of plugin options to improve the experience e.g. trouble.nvim. Also, Treesitter syntax highlighting makes a notable difference in my experience. The further possibilities with TS are outlined in this thread. Plus the community has shown that Lua support is helping building a solid ecosystem surrounding the new native features. It's really on a different level from YCM, coc, ALE..

This is akin to the "unimaginable" resources in asteroids.

By and large, we really don't need more resources to mine, but to use what we have more efficiently.

I'm sure there are a few edge cases, but the attitude that we should look for more and more to exploit is what leads to deforestation, the biggest loss of species diversity since the last ice age, global warming and a serious toll on the health of today's people.
