Before one writes the next six-figure check to his attorney, he may realize he'll need to sell the Tribeca loft, and be prompted to inquire desperately "where will I stay when I'm in New York?" Enterprising attorneys will put their client at ease and deposit that check at their first opportunity.

No. There's no real benefit in this case. For the most part, the main practical advantage of Neovim over Vim (from a user perspective) is that there are some plugins that are only supported by Neovim and there are some types of plugins that might work better on Neovim. So if you're not using plugins this won't affect you.

There are some ideological advantages of Neovim over Vim, too, but those are relatively minor; neither is evil software, and it can be argued that Vim has some ideological advantages over Neovim, too.

For a plugin dev or vim/neovim dev, there may be other practical advantages one way or the other.
That's fine, there's no magic bullet to any issue. I don't have an issue with landlords; property is a human right and that includes the right rent it out (similarly, I expect the freedom to rent if I want to in a private contract with a property owner). But if citizen landlords are being abusive, then there should be separate legislation to keep them controlled as well.
You can lookup their whois on the GoDaddy site, at the bottom there is a form to contact the owner. Just select the research/other option. The owner will receive an email that you’re trying to contact them about their domain and it will tell them what your email is. Question is, will they email you back. But that’s the only free way I believe. I don’t really see a reason to use the brokerage service. You can’t include a message unfortunately telling them exactly why you’re reaching out to them.

They do have the Epstein drive, holographic displays, anti-cancer-cell „dialysis“, a solar-system-wide internet, miniaturized electron microscopes, and insanely long-lasting batteries.

But, I must admit that eg the terminals look like phones from 2050. And I‘m sorely missing AI, humanoid robots, and way more bionic implants a la Cyberpunk. However I think those were left out deliberately to allow the story to be mainly about the human experience. AIs like the one in „Her“ might be realistic on a 400 year time scale, but I find stories like that rather awe-inspiring than relatable.

> The problem is that the BLM movement is unnecessarily built on an idealized view of black people.

No, its not. At all. (It includes people which hold such views, and excludes some part of the other extreme, but that’s true of any organization less hostile to Blacks than the general society.)

'Somewhat sordid' is amusing understatement. Mark Karpeles is only slightly less criminal than Bernie Madoff.

So the trillions being delivered to the rich is the source of inflation (per your comment above) because of... other nefarious things the rich people did, and also other events that they didn't do? Did they need those trillions to be incompetent, maybe? Or to reduce support for redistribution (per your comment pre-edit)?
The title is true for some definition of "near" and some definition of "here". Here in India, the official "second wave" now has been brutal. Just a few months ago, nobody thought there could be any further lockdowns since the ones earlier last year hit the economy and livelihood of hundreds of millions of people quite hard. But here we are, with extended lockdowns for several weeks in many states.

Unlike other countries, vaccine procurement wasn't given a big enough push last year by the Indian government. Some other countries were also good at vaccine stockpiling with massive orders to producers. By some estimates, [1] vaccinating a higher percentage of the Indian population (required for herd immunity and to keep the rate of new infections lower) would go well into 2024! The same is said to apply for the rest of the world. [2] I don't think reality would be so bad though. Ramp up will accelerate quicker with more producers lining up. But we'd probably be still looking at end 2022 or later in India for mass vaccination to be done. The cost to the society is quite high with lockdowns and restrictions (not saying that these are totally unnecessary).

Anyone who's optimistic that "the end is near" would have to ensure that movement of people from other countries (with other variants and higher rates of infection) is prevented or highly restricted. That's easier said than done when the time frame is long. You wouldn't even know that there are new variants until they have taken ahold in large numbers.

I have to conclude that the end is not anywhere near right now.

No, the displays don't need a Thunderbolt controller (and I do get 3 separate displays - mirroring would be pretty useless, I agree).

I use this dock: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkpad-Thunderbolt-Dock-40AC...

After updating the dock to the latest firmware, I can run two 4k60 displays, although it requires a specific configuration: one display on one of the DisplayPort lanes, and one on an active USB-C to DisplayPort cable hooked up to the dock's unpowered Thunderbolt port.

I've done this setup multiple times with this dock model, and it has worked with every Thunderbolt 3 MBP I've used.
I’ve been thinking a while about making a social media site that doesn’t have boards, subreddits, channels, pages, etc

Instead it would be almost like a stream of consciousness where the system learns your interests and expertise and basically builds a board for you with stories from different topics. Could even be across multiple sites.

It would use something like this: https://insideropinion.com/
Out of curiosity, what IRC client do you use?
Ive been PC gaming at 4K for several years now. Who mentioned consoles?

I'm not sure why you saw my want for 4k visuals in the single player, visual, story based games I prefer to play, as an opportunity to attack me personally. Perhaps read the rules or go back to Reddit or wherever that attitude is welcome.
You talk about ways that the headline could be reconciled with inflation, but even if true, the headline certainly doesn't describe an inflationary situation.

> inflation is an increase in consumer price levels

That's a common and well-known symptom (because everyone can see it), but that doesn't define inflation. From Britannica:

Inflation, in economics, collective increases in the supply of money, in money incomes, or in prices.

I used the term 'investments' loosely, rather than spelling out all the possible things on which we can spend money. But actual investments, by the narrow definition, count: asset bubbles, or example, are a form of and sign of inflation (in that one market). Again, inflation is an excess of economic activity for the economic realities of the situation.

> there wouldn’t be demand-pull inflation, but there still could be supply-push inflation

If you mean 'cost-push' inflation, that is caused by increased production costs, which lower production and thus reduce supply and thus, unless demand also decreases, prices increase. If demand also decreases sufficiently, as the headline might suggest, then there's no inflation. Increased production costs aren't the concern behind the inflationary effects of various stimulus measures, which should reduce costs of production (including via cheap debt).

I think that's just because of the simplicity of IRC - migrating off of discord would entail a lot of friction because of the features it gives you, like super granular permissions and access to channels. IRC channels are just places to chat with minor access control, so moving is easy as long as the community/people move.
You can still buy a cheap fixer upper in Detroit.
It's a lot easier than that now. There are apps now that package the bittorent client and website with magnet links into a single unified app ecosystem that looks somewhat like the spotify app, but with practically every movie and TV show ever produced. You don't have to wait for downloads, the client will stream the torrent for you after maybe 30 seconds of buffer. It's often much faster for me to use this app to get to a show, than to navigate the website and do the same for a service I might pay for.
Usually I consider internal inconsistencies and the resulting deus-ex machina moments as lazy writing, at best. What Star Trek achieved, especially TNG and VOY, was creating a completely consistent universe by using techno babble just this side of "realistic" that allowed them to get away with their other stories. Some of which are really great. Still, since the Expense came out I think it shows how un scientific Star Trek is.
> I guess what I'm try to say is nothing will beat simply Google searching a topic and typing "reddit" afterwards to query some super insightful and awesome 5+ year old forum post on whatever the content is.

Better yet, use

Reddit's search really needs some work. It's practically useless for me unless I am using old.reddit.com/.

> There was a golden era of reddit right before the great Digg migration. Excellent comments, diverse opinions, and really great back and forth being shared of individual's experiences in almost every single subreddit.

That golden era is still happening. It's just hidden under a bunch of signal noise.

It helps to take all of the popular subreddits out of your feed and only join more niche ones.

The reality is that humanity in general is experiencing the same "golden era" hidden behind a high noise to signal ratio. There's only so much we can do to filter through it.
benzene is not one of those
JnJ tries to label each product differently so that bad name from one does not affect the name of the other. Such as in the case of Tylenol recall.

How do you know that other product lines are not affected by one raw supplier. Maybe there was some pollutant in a supply of product A that lots of companies use and put in their own products. They would also be affected.
What about "to be" shows thinking that needs unmuddying? Why should we consider sentences like "the cat is an animal" or "the cat is furry" problematic?
Atlantis couldn't decide what it was, I think. They got to some great characters, but with difficulty. Ronon replaced Ford in Season 2, with Ford being a very poorly written character, he didn't get a single interesting scene for a season. Weir was remarkably poorly written IMO, every time she made a decision it was wrong. Teyla had great moments but in too many episodes she was a "mystic Amazonian alien" cliche. Early on Atlantis tried to again do the "small band of humans versus powerful alien enemy" thing, abandoned that, transitioned to a cornier version of SG-1, then also abandoned that and went more for character stories, it was a mess. I'm also simply not a fan of its too lighthearted style, it intentionally avoided the more serious bits of SG-1.

Universe was great in my book. Detractors say it's like Stargate trying to be Battlestar Galactica, but BSG is easily my favorite sci-fi show so I actually liked that. Universe did make some mistakes early on, but the second season was great, I enjoyed Dr Rush as a very non-Stargate style main character, and I enjoyed how Universe had a completely different take on aliens, keeping them mysterious.

From what I've seen, it's not that uncommon (eg the GM street car consipiracy). Companies aren't as overt as they used to be, but I think they still do it. One example I'm curious about is investment firms ownership in US car companies prior to the spike in oil prices and great recession.

Best solution IMO is to rent a $10 a month seedbox and use it for torrenting.

And/or only use private trackers. Stay away from the public ones.
Could that be solved by having better golang bindings for COM/OLE? Is it a problem of too much boilerplate?
Thanks for putting it succinctly. I was going over some REST design principles and the "no verbs in the URL" thing is just really awkward and not intuitive (and something being non-intuitive leads to complexity in my opinion).

As in your examples, people think in terms of data (noun) and what they want to do with it (verb). Cramming everything into 4-ish verbs makes it awkward.

The solution given for this is usually to put the action in the body. But that feels like working around a limitation that doesn't even have to be there.
Recently I went down the rabbit hole of JPEG encoding. The default encoder - libjpeg turbo - is going to write lookup tables for CRT monitors of yesteryear where the signal is analogue and the picture is magically made good looking by the 1280 X 1024 CRT. Trinitron was the gold standard then.

The Mozilla JPEG encoder mozjpeg assumes a high density digital display and encodes for that, typically with less banding but softer.

Not a lot of people cared for mozjpeg and the barely perceptible differences, even though file sizes were smaller into the deal.

This experience made me aware of how few people are working at the cutting edge of image processing, for images or video. It is amazing how much we take their work for granted.

Frustrating differences may be between screens, browsers and operating systems, we are lucky to have what we have got and also lucky to have such forgiving eyes. The whole shebang is nothing short of a miracle.

"and it looks like they're finally improved on what was a terrible, clunky, extremely dated UI." doesn't hold true, it's mostly the same UI with a dark reskin. Certain editor hot paths have been reworked and that's about it.
The editor is almost exclusively written in Slate, Epic's in-house Window framework/general GUI module. Slate's got a pretty interesting nested MACRO system. Most definitely not data-driven and pretty much as hard-coded as it gets, redesigning the editor for real would be difficult to say the least. In reality most experienced developers don't want a new design, they are happy with the workflow they have and I have to agree with them. I'm generally happy with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" reskin decision.
It will always be more expensive to remove a trace gas, economically and on an energy basis, than emitting it in the first place. We would need MORE renewables to remove the CO2 from the air. It is just ridiculous to spend more energy than what was generated from burning fuel to remove its CO2 from the air.
Formerly xchat, now hexchat. I also leave weechat idling in a tmux session.

My take on discord is that it's been designed for the zoomer/gamer demographic; the sort of people who also get sucked in by gacha games. Lots of sounds and colors that leave the user dazed and intoxicated.
Is OpenAI profitable (yet)?

I thought their game plan originally was to raise a TON of money in order to not be (very) financially burdened while doing the long-term R&D necessary to build what would (hopefully) become AI models so advanced they could be traditionally monetized and level out the huge company debts.

Funding startups (see: taking risky bets on time _and_ money) doesn't seem to fit into that model... unless:

1. They've built a financially-viable product [*] and have the spare time and money to start paying for adoption/growth.

2. They're adding more risk to their debts now to bet on a much bigger payoff from startups using their tech later [*].

So I guess my question is... why are they doing this?

[*] I use both GPT-2 and GPT-3 almost daily and don't have a masterful understanding of either, but they both do fall short of 90% of their hype/marketing. They're amazing jumps forward, but... nobody built lasting businesses on Markov chains when they were new, either. I wouldn't want to build a business propped up solely on either of them yet.
I find humour in very bad movies. Not like run of the mill garbage, like "so bad it's good" stuff.

"Bundling" isn't any indication of any wrong doing. The OS "bundles" a word processor, a music player, a photo editor, etc, etc. I don't think I'd choose to install an OS without an internet browser.

If your phone is about to die because yiu checked out of a hotel in the morning and your flight is at night and you are just cruising around in a car, you will not be able to stop anywhere and get a USBC car charger.

So anyway LPT: get USBC accessories on Amazon in advance and dont rely on them to have any particular feature of quality control.

I was told search for "perfect" parity across users was in vain because perception of colour varied too much, from blood sugar level to physiology and etc.

I understand and support "true colour" across all hard/software but is it really that impactful?
This level of integration surely won't come cheap, from what I recall of Server purchasing a target price of ~200-500k per rack would be expected on a TCO of roughly 2x the rack price over 3 years. (Assuming you are buying from Quanta/SuperMicro or other commodity integrator)

It's possible the prices are different now, but you would need customers looking to drop > 1 million dollars in CapEx for the management capabilities they are providing. Possibly non-cloud Fortune-500?

Django was my first exposure to Web development also around the 0.96 days. I couldn't have found my way into what has become a career without the friendly folks in the Django channels. What an incredible resource for newcomers.

I remember pasting full dumps of my models.py files into djangosnippets.org with vague descriptions of problems I was having, and folks I had never met before patiently sorted through possible solutions with me. Sometimes they'd nudge me away from an approach or suggest an alternative framing but they never judged me for what was probably pretty ridiculous code, considering I had no idea what I was doing.

Thanks to all the folks involved!
You're right, for most simple use cases it doesn't matter. But I once spent an hour on a weird bug that turned out to just be some plugin applying a map that I didn't know about and that I didn't know about map expansion. So I might be biased, but I think a loose understanding is helpful.

The default behavior is to recursively expand and apply your mappings and "noremap" disables this recursion.
For example if you do something like

:map j k
:map q j
:noremap w j

q is expanded to k, but w is expanded to j
At 5V and your household needs: 1- refrigerator (400W when it motor is running); 2- vacuum cleaner (1000W when running); 3- TV's/PC's/light-bulbs (around 1000W in the evening when all are running at the same time) - all these amounts to at least ~2.5KW power. Now divide that by 5 and you get the intensity at 500A. Do you have any idea how thick the copper would need to be to allow 500A? a full 1cm x 1cm. Any idea how heavy that going to be? Or how expensive? That's why even for 10m distance AC at 220V is better.
> So now you have to raise wages to entice people to clean toilets.

Or so now people doing even more distasteful and/or lower-paid work outside of the formal economy because it can stack with means tested benefits can afford to clean toilets for low wages in the formal economy because it stacks with the now-unconditional benefits. Conjecture as to which effect dominates based on behavior with additional means-tested benefits is on extremely shaky ground.

I just run it in browser. It runs "fine" for me. It doesn't bother me in terms of speed or resources. I wouldn't give it any kind of glowing recommendation on that front, I just think it's better than Slack.

Slack crawls for me more than Matrix does, though to be fair I only use them each on totally separate machines, so it's not a fair test.

Raw IRC beats both in resources and responsiveness, but the tradeoffs are well worth it for me to use Matrix personally (to name just one, I consider scrollback to be a required feature, and to get that with IRC requires too much effort/cost).
