Plug: after almost a full year of hosting alone (for $50) I recently started using srht's builds, somewhat equivalent to github actions. It's been awesome so far. Look at the downloadable coverage.html: super easy to set up!

https://builds.sr.ht/~motiejus/job/517389

And unlike any megacorp, Drew is approachable. I recommend having a look at it for anyone re-evaluating their software forge.
>What kind of fabric that can withstand the stress of wearing, washing, drying and still be comfortable to wear and retain the look ?

Whool, if you know how to care for it. Suits can easily last decades.

Everything made out of cotton, including bespoke shirts, is by default more or less a consummable and doesn't really enter the range of long term/valuable fashion.
I don't think you can generalize this across Europe.

Cans and bottles have/had "preferred sizes" (hence 330mL, 250mL, 500mL being common), but there's no European standard for how much you get in a bar or restaurant.
Phil Burt's Bike Fit¹ is great read on the subject, with lots of in-depth advice and solutions. I suspect the vast majority of the readers are Sunday Morning Warriors, but it does cover more relaxed styles which are likely more applicable to you given your bike. From the book:

“Some cycling ailments are confined to the elite and some to recreational riders. It is unheard of for me to see [...] our national squads with numb or tingling hands. However, I have seen serious recreational cyclists with quite debilitating hand-nerve injuries referred to me by local doctors.”

A good chunk of the book deals with off-bike stretches and flexing to cut down on injuries too. I've found better off-bike care has helped me a lot, and I know a good number of cyclists who swear by their yoga sessions.

Hope your situation improves!

Edit to add: He also has a few videos on Youtube with advice on improving your fit for comfort and pain relief, which is a cheaper option than the book ;)

I would be super interested in ways to visualize or learn of these 'background realities'.
I don't think you're wrong, but the GP comment is more along the lines of "don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining."

I agree, I'm sick of marketing speak and PR omitting news because it might be hard to hear. If we're just honest about what's happening, we can fix it or at least mediate it.
The students were pretty intense, but I'm guessing the ones I met in the bar weren't the ones studying chess games and reading maths papers. They do often play chess in the bar, while they're downing vodka...
It's been a few years since I tried using it, so take this with a grain of salt, but my biggest gripe with it was that it would grind my computer (a beefy Dell) to a halt.
Of course, this depends on what sort of environment you're trying to replicate. If it's 2 to 3 microservices and a database, I would imagine it's fine, but anything more, which is what I had to deal with at the time, it was a no-go. Especially so since this meant that running minikube and having a RAM-thirsty IDE, like Intellij IDEA, was practically impossible.
> I like Kafka but can’t see how Confluent can be profitable.

I've seen what some corporate customers pay for an enterprise license. It's kind of insane.
YJIT: Building a New JIT Compiler Inside CRuby
Location: NW USA

Remote: sure

Willing to relocate: yes to many places but not all

Other stuff: still wanting someone to take me under their wing and teach me how to harness my learning skills to be able to afford rent and utilities and sustenance and such. Willing and able to learn anything that can be presented to me as mutually sustainably beneficial.
> I'm pretty sure you got a lot of stimulus in Canada, too.

Stimulus programs in Canada have been targeted towards loss of income, whether on the individual side through a job-loss cash benefit or on the business side through a wage subsidy program.

To my knowledge, no large jurisdiction in Canada has given out cash payments equivalent to the US stimulus money, so a family that has not suffered job loss (partial or full) will not have gained gross income.
Streamlabs is a fork of OBS, and as such, is also open source: http://github.com/stream-labs
My sense is that nuclear power plants basically can't go forward without lots of government support. No private utility company really wants to shoulder the financial risk for themselves. Between the stratospheric cost to build one, the ~decade it takes to get one online, and the possibility that cheap renewables push prices way down in the coming years, it's just too risky.

That probably has at least something to do with why we aren't seeing much new construction in countries with freer economies. I would guess that another significant factor is, for regions like North America and western Europe that already have a substantial investment in nuclear, it perhaps makes more sense to do what they're already doing: upgrading their existing plants rather than building new ones.
You solve these problems with buy-ins: either make them see it that way themselves or make them sign an insurance discharge that fire damages wont be covered.

It s fine to die in a fire, what s not fine is to then sue the building manager over a table you refused to remove.
> I think most people would prefer no voting machine software at all

The majority of people, with normal sight and no mobility impairment, may be fine with paper ballots. But for some of us, an accessible voting machine is more than a convenience, as it enables us to independently (and therefore privately) cast our votes.
Better a function that works in some cases than not having a function at all. Also, by using TypeScript definitions you pretty much always know what's coming in and going out and VS Code will yell at you if you're trying to do something stupid.
- Germany closing down Nuclear meant a greater dependency on Carbon emitting energy sources with no down time (Coal and even more so Gas)

- Nord Stream 2 is a project that will further allow Germany to burn more Gas cheaper (more emissions) and become geopoliticaly more dependent on Russian infrastructure

- The EU loses geopolitical strength if it is unable to cut ties with Russia as an escalation counter-measure (Because it's biggest net contributor actually needs Russian gas to keep the lights on).

- Just like you have had extreme groups and extremist recruitment/propaganda forming around other divisive issues, it is inevitable that some form of environment related extremism will evolve in particular when populations start to become displaced. The obvious target of such groups would be fossil fuel industry leaders and lobbyists.
I recommend looking at buildbot[1]. It can be tailored towards your needs. I developed and maintain one for scummvm [2].

It has a steep learning curve, as with any sufficiently advanced system.

Anecdotally, I remember multiple instances of coworkers walking out in the middle of a shift when I worked as a cook in a chain restaurant due to the combination of high stress (including abuse from customers and management) and low wages.
Most likely because the heads try to read a few back blocks that weren't accessed for years.

You can do block checks regularly, which takes a looong time on high capacity drives (or is impossible on newer ones due to firmware restrictions).
I would not call it "powerful" that you can infer from "X is the world record" that "nobody is faster than X".

It's not even inference, it's simply saying the same thing in different ways.

And in any case, it's of course not very relevant for his main argument anyway, since don't don't have any such data-points about aliens.

If we knew that "humans are the smallest intelligent beings in the universe" well then yes could "infer" that all aliens are larger. But that is trivial and pointless.

Eating less meat won't do anything, it's a fruitless endeavor that only makes vegetarians/vegans feel morally superior. Everyone in the US could stop eating meat, and it would only reduce emissions by a couple percentage points.

Focus on reducing fossil fuel usage.

In America, everyone has the same chance already, at least to a close approximation. It's just not logically valid to look at unequal outcomes and conclude that not everyone had the same chance, but that's what half this thread is doing. Whatever the US is doing, it works for producing prosperity and innovation. Whatever the EU is doing doesn't work to produce that. Sure, people there are comfortable, but should comfort alone be the goal of human society? I don't think so.
If I understand this correctly it is to add negative index support to arrays. How will findIndex work when this is introduced? It currently uses -1 as a return value when no element satisfies the testing function.
Are the kits back in stock?

I fooled around with the DIY option, but realized I was incompetent. Ended up buying a cheap Czur scanner, which works surprisingly well.

For it, you hold the book open on the black mat on a table. The scanner uses a laser to measure and correct page curvature, and takes a picture of both pages.

It produces decent PDFs (I'm not sure about the comparative resolution) with (bad) OCR'ed text. (The IA re-OCR's the book after upload, right?)
There is also geopolitical aspect to it, where do you get the nuclear fuel from? In Czech Republic, we have two nuclear power plants, and AFAIK we are buying from Russia, but we are not overly happy about the dependency (although our dependency on russian natural gas is greater).

Although wind & solar is not that popular here either. I don't know what we will do.
Using a library-provided CDN can be performance-negative now, since you usually need several RTTs for DNS, TCP, TLS before you even get to HTTP. Serving it from your own domain / CDN allows it to be part of an existing HTTP connection.
I tend to notice the scent of a new a place. In fact, when I recall previous travels, the scent is associated with the memory. I wonder if this is related to microbiome.
In my comments, I assume that the recording and mastering is done indeed properly. If you can't carry the orchestra's sound to the playback medium, everything is already moot to begin with.

The thing I'm looking is musical dynamics rather than details itself, but it's equally lost with poor recording and mastering as you say, since they're also captured by the microphones. The thing I'm trying to explain was they are not "finer details" like "oh! I hear the bow of that player", but a bigger feeling that the orchestra creates by playing together, and that effect is independent from individual instruments, most of the time.

It's a somewhat difficult concept to put into words and explain. It's more about feeling the music and decoding the brain, and I think it needs some experience. Being unable to translate this into words makes me sad, because it carries music to another dimension IMHO.
This doesn't look like something the global marketplaces would be interested in. Maybe with some extensions on top?

PayPal and invoice generators are more likely. Also content donation links like Coil or BAT. Things that don't need a synchronous confirmation for the result in order to ship you stuff.
K. Gödel Whose Brilliant Life Intersected with the Upheavals of the 20th Century
Just wondering, is it profitable? I believe the Depop fee is 10% plus payment processing fees, which to me doesn’t sound like a great deal, but then again I’m not really familiar with that whole market.
>>Not to be pedantic but there's really no such thing as free is there? Someone is paying for that college.

That is pedantic - literally no one with an ounce of intelligence would think that money for those services comes from the moon. Of course it comes from out taxes. I'm happy to pay my taxes to make sure everyone has the same opportunities.

>>Personally I don't want to subsidize these quote unquote elite universities but if people choose to use their money to go there that's great.

That's an incredibly individualistic approach that I don't agree with.

>>I once heard that freedom is the ability to choose wrongly but at the core it's really freedom to choose. If everything is the same then there's really no choice.

But that's exactly what other countries do! I said this in another comment - want to be a doctor? Go ahead, no debt. Want to be a lawyer? No debt. But also want to be a map historian? No debt. Art PhD? No debt. Marketing and Business studies? No debt.

That's exactly what freedom is. You are free to chose what you want to learn. If you choose poorly and there is no job waiting for you on the other end, well you just wasted 3 years of your life. But we as a society made it possible for you to take that leap and have a choice.

How is that "everything is the same"???
No doubt a connection. Post traumatic stress disorder is an established condition.
I think a lot of this is just because the USA is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to the USA:)

Plus, this is a country made up of a little piece of every other country in the world. "American identity" is an ex post facto rationalization. Not to mention that politically we often operate like 50 small-to-medium sized countries. And there's less of a push to homogenize the country since one of our political parties fights against federalization.

All that adds up to a country with a whole lot of variation. Describing what Americans are like is pretty useless. We're like everything.
What are people expecting? They're 75yo vehicles who's capacity and seaworthiness were defined relative to very different cultural norms regarding safety and a national emergency that necessitated acceptance of some additional risk. Heck, the base truck chassis would be a workplace injury lawsuit waiting to happen by modern standards.

Other than the one that capsized in Missouri a few years back the Wikipedia page listing fatal accidents is surprisingly devoid of sinkings.
You're right, trailer would be nice! I'll work on it.
Yeah, but people that own stocks do not typically go on and on about how the stock market is a revolutionary technology that changes everything. Stocks are worth something no matter how they are traded.

Supposedly, it is the blockchain that makes bitcoin viable but if most transactions are off chain then what is the point?

A thought experiment: at what point does the blockchain cease to add value? What if 99% of transactions were off the blockchain? What if all transactions were off-chain?

At the moment it looks to my untrained eye like a few big exchanges do almost all of the trading internally without moving coins, keeping the expensive blockchain transactions for batched redemptions between exchanges. How is this different that what normal banks do with cash?
Thank you! I hadn’t seen that rankings tab.
This trope that ‘the best audio product for you is a highly subjective personal choice’ directly contradicts decades of well-established science, and is a long-standing myth that plagues this industry — and not coincidentally, serves to sell a ton of over-expensive garbage to under-educated (by design, via marketing bunk) consumers.

If you read ASR’s materials on headphone science and the HD800S review in particular, it will become entirely clear why it sounds the way it does, and what you need to do to EQ it to fix its tonal character issues out of the box.

I own the HD800S and if it wasn’t for the scientifically derived EQ filters some community members have developed, I would be entirely unable to listen to them for the reasons exactly as you describe. But once the EQ is applied fixing their FR curve to the Harman target curve, suddenly the sound signature dramatically changes from unlistenably painful (for metal music, for example) to perfectly balanced sound.

I should add though that headphones are definitely more subjective than speakers. This is because we are shoving a speaker 1 inch from our ears and hoping it will sound like the music is in the room around us instead of actually shoved right up against our ear — and the way this sounds actually does differ from person to person due to different ear canal geometry!

This limitation is not the case for speakers, though! The consensus science shows that for speakers, an “objective best” does exist (such that the objective “best” has extremely high likelihood of sounding best to >95% of people), whereas for headphones this number is not as high (though I don’t know that number off the top of my head).

And you know what’s great about ASR? They explain all this! All you need to do is read their resources and understand what the science does and does not help with.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted because that’s exactly what they’re doing. I worked for a company that was being paid to work out how best to manipulate people into certain political outcomes by trying things and measuring results. Of course they didn’t market themselves as that. I quit when I worked out what they were doing.
This also implies that prices may steady (even if they don't return to "normal") over the longer term even if this demand shift continues.

Many of the exurban and rural areas seeing house price increases have not historically been places of high housing demand. It's not hard to build a new house there, it's just that until recently nobody wanted to. A covid-preference-induced exodus from large cities could be the best thing possible to revitalize small towns that, a generation or two ago, saw all of their young people drawn to work opportunities in the city.
And what can you infer from that?

I've been pretty happy with Emacs 27. I haven't noticed significant slowness with that version.
Our PM also walks behind the US and reiterates whatever climate target they state, like X % by 2030 and y % by 2050. I have seen exactly 0 plan on how to get there. I suspect he'll retire in 2029.
The VW wagons, like most, have been discontinued except in the "lifted" (a la Outback) form.

Volvos are great, but they're an upmarket marque. IIRC the cheapest wagon they offer stateside starts aroumd $50k.
That product he just launched is terrifying to me -- it's bad enough that people share stupid animated GIFs at work, to be forced to play meaningless games on Slack...

It's a violation of worker's rights.
As Microsoft has SLAs, it probably isn't in their interest to make it easy to tell, to begin with. Management would probably just see liability.
Counterpoint, while it’s true we still use things like coal, what we do with them has changed massively. Coal in the 1850s was all about metal working, steam production (train and ship), and home heating, uses that have been almost entirely replaced. Coal fired power plants came surprisingly later, with most units coming online in America between 1910 and 1950, a time in which trains and ships largely went electric or to diesel.

Also, our history of energy production is very short. I’d be disinclined to say that it’s impossible based on a mere 200 year sample.
I look forward to her looking at the stuff in use and think "What the fuck is all this bullshit?".

Insert your least favorite piece of technology or paradigm as an example here...
What I was trying to tell was that even a fundamental concept such as vector isn't clearly defined in undergraduate level treatments. And consider that fields like Physics, EE, Aeronautics and Computer Graphics use such concepts, often use different definitions of the same thing even.
Loom’s new SDK lets any company add video messaging to their apps
> A move from the expensive city to cheaper regions would generally decrease house prices: the rise in the regions should be more than offset by the fall in London.

Only if the people moving out of London owned their homes and were putting them on the market as new properties. If a renter moves out of London, it would show up in these statistics as a net increase in demand for owned housing, and any price effects would take time to percolate through via rent changes.
My UK Housing association sent all residents a harsh letter saying how nothing can be left in the hallway, no posters, notes or anything, as they contravene fire health and safety, so classed as a fire risk.

They then month later put a cork notice board up which they litter with their propaganda (best way to describe the chaff they put on there and more ego promoting themselves type stuff, ergo my go to definition of it), all printed on paper.

I have found many excel at finding excuses to not do something and very professional at shuffling issues about in the hope that they will be forgotten about though done in a way that their bureaucracy can say they did their job.
In short many staff excel in such institutions excel at being seen to be doing their job over doing it and you quickly recognise the patterns and language having worked with politicians/Civil servants and know all the tricks - like sending a reply 1 minute before you leave the office and excels at email tennis.

My favourite was them sending a letter saying they would take me to court for access as I had not had a gas safety check. Which given I had one a month ago prior and was still awaiting for a part, all covered and done by one of their contracted out service providers who had informed them and why my gas safety check had not been done. They then just said it was computer error, something which I found even more offensive than spending a month in the middle of winter without any heating.

Heck, I've had two asbestos checks, because they lost the first one, and other silly appointments that needlessly happen. In total I end up taking a week of my year off to accommodate such silly checks, which remarkably can never be done in one day and always spread out over a couple of month on several says. That's in a good year if they all turn up, always one or two missed appointments.

I've realised they only care about the money. Have drug dealers in your flat 24/7 for a month - they don't care. Yet if you are a few pound short on your rent account, they soon get on your case.

Housing associations when you cut thru the PR operate akin to the worst of the corporate World with equally a level of bureaucracy that even Government's aspire too achieve.
