> The ones marked as 95, NT, and XP are all fit with each other.

They aren't really though. Aesthetically they are reasonably close but employ different conventions (e.g. the list/tree in win32 and the list in NT4 display the same kind of information but different ways, and with different icons).

Consistency is a pretty fundamental thing in interface design, and whether or not something "fits" aesthetically is only a small part of all this, which I think was OP's point.
There's often great deals on used Aerons. The one I got on ebay for $500 was fully loaded (retail $1600) and unused as far as I could tell. And it wasn't a one off, companies will replace their office furniture and sell tons of them.
Take a look at Rider, it’s relatively recent, it’s possible you missed it. Basically, it’s Resharper embedded in an IntelliJ IDE, and it’s superb.
One of the problems with microkernels is performance - messages are being sent between parts and that takes time. Here we have sort of an ultimate microkernel - can we have enough hardware support to have performance competitive, while keeping main advantages?
Obviously I've touched a nerve there. I painted a small picture how the EU research grants are being misused and this being a just a part of bigger problem with EU money over here.

Did I claim anything about your country? Of course not. You might be upset that money is not well spent everywhere, and I hear you. Just don't pretend that those problems don't exist. Go flame somebody else please. Thanks.
Algorand is a fairly underground project I've been following, but it basically has taken the good stuff from Ethereum (smart contracts, token-izing) and combined it with the possibilities of Chainlink, along with having a ridiculously fast chain and simple ecosystem. Give them 3-5 years they'll be leading the CYO token space. ETH is increasingly falling behind as they can't get ETH2 out the door and Algorand already has all of it built in along with an incredible competent and politically connected team.

Agree though, smart contracts are where the future lies in many of these projects. Tough to pick up but where I'd be if I were a SW dev.
I hope to donate my body to science. Depending on the manner of death and location, it should be a matter of specifying it in your will.
Overblown? I disagree. The situation has degraded substantially since I have lived here (going on 4 decades now).

From 2011-2014, the ATX power grid was so stable, that I was able to run a TS3 server out of my apartment with 100% uptime. It was plugged directly into the wall with no hope of survival if any power disruption occurred. 3 years. Probably didn't even miss a single 60hz cycle.

Fast forward to 2021, I can expect to reset the clocks in my house about once every other week.
I am in a similar market, but we are turning cadavers into headless server platforms.
HÅG Capisco 8106. Have it both at the office and at home.

Its design somehow encourages you to change positions regularly, which is important to avoid getting sore.
> kyc laws only applies to exchanges that allow cashing out. I don't understand why kyc would be required here.

Because cashing out is kind of the entire point of BAT?

If creators couldn't redeem their BATs for actual spendable currency, they wouldn't really be any different from a Facebook Like button that people have to pay to click.
HBO Max responds to the Integration Test email
Since software is so easy to change, nobody bothers verifying it. The more we put into software, the more room there is for cutting corners in testing because, "we can always send out a firmware upgrade later." Me, I'd rather go back to the old days when updates to hardware were expensive so you better get it right.
It seems that way to me too. In the US silence is basically a crime against humanity.
Based on looks and reviews I almost purchased a Herman Miller Sayl until I sat in it and noticed how cheap it looked and felt. It also wasn't comfortable and the lumbar support was a joke.

I then tried a Herman Miller Aeron and Leap but didn't like them. I went with a Steelcase Gesture that I had at my last employer's office and I love it.
Awesome. I didn't see that when people were describing how it works. Certainly better than the Windows version.
Yup. And a great example of the clickbait dystopia we live in. Dishonesty reigns in the public sphere.
You comment is music to my ears. I have been working on this project for a while now and the first few days of rollout is always the most "pit of despair" generating. I did basic market validation when crafting this but to hear you say this is what you need lifted my spirits. Best thing that has happened to me this week. Thank you!

Please sign up as an advertiser! I have an undocumented "feature" that I added recently - writing it here for the first time: If a business signs up with the platform and came to us without a referral from an advertiser, the platform will pick a random advertiser withing 100KM and give that advertiser 50% of our profit for the first 2 months. Effectively, as an advertiser, you have a chance to make cash even if you do nothing except be on the platform.
I think the key here is that the pre-meeting review provides a time-efficient way to highlight gaps in the document and highlight the areas that are contentious and need more justification. The doc can then be filled in more before the meeting where the final details can be discussed.
In the morning to you too!
I love deeply traced etymologies, but sometimes shallow etymologies are pretty interesting too, especially in very common words, for example:

dog: http://www.lexvo.com/info/eng/dog

bird: http://www.lexvo.com/info/eng/bird

which can only be traced backed to Anglo-Saxon and have no deeper relatives in any known language.
To be more exact, OSMF funding was 3000 euro ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microgrants/Microgrants_... )

There was also funding from The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research "between 09.2020 and 02.2021" https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete#sponsors

(I am one of contributors, and small part of my work was also grant-supported by NLnet foundation - I also definitely encourage to consider sponsoring the app author)
So THAT's what they mean when they claim to be "the front page of the internet."

JUST the front page, it appears.

For a website that has been around so long and has been a fundamental building block of what most of us understand to be a diverse, open, and highly interconnected internet, this is quite close-minded.
What are the energy costs of transporting a body from inland out onto the ocean? Probably less than cremation I suppose. Still, with some slight modifications I think you could improve efficiency. Load the bodies into shipping containers, to take advantage of all that existing logistics infrastructure, then push the whole container over the side once the container ship is an appropriate distance from shore. You can even tell families that Vinnie and Mathilda have become an artificial reef.
In the linked forum thread, someone asked whether there were even widescreen standard-def CRTs around at the time.

The answer is yes, but they were fairly uncommon. Most of these games were produced around the same time that DVDs were new to the scene. One of the "killer features" of DVDs was widescreen content and much-better-than-VHS picture quality, finally allowing the average person to get something very close to the movie theater experience in their own home. If they had a large high-end widescreen TV, that is...

The "widescreen" TVs at the time were mostly projection TVs (which did use a CRT tube, but were not usually referred to as CRT TVs) and plasma TVs. Plasma displays were somewhat popular for a fairly short period between the dominance of CRT and LCD TVs. But they were fairly expensive, so the vast majority of households simply went directly from 4:3 CRTs to widescreen LCDs once the prices on the latter dropped dramatically.

The companies releasing DVD movies typically either sold a particular movie in separate "standard" or "widescreen" editions, or bundled them both into the same box/disc because it was clear to _them_ that widescreen in the home was the future. And it was easy: pretty much every film was widescreen already. However, video game makers were targeting the existing market which was mainly 4:3 CRT TVs and designing a game for both aspect ratios was usually not trivial. Hence why there were not many games that supported it. It was just a nice bonus for trade show booths and rich kids.
No wifi hotspot is using 110 watts.

110 watts is a fair amount of power - at $0.20/kWh you're going to add $16 to your power bill monthly.

It's similar to leaving a desktop computer on 24/7.
You can purchase used Steelcase chairs from office liquidation companies for a reasonable price (although "reasonable" might be in the eye of the beholder). I purchased a V2 for around $400 and have been using it daily for 1.5 years. It's in great condition and it's easily the most comfortable office chair I've sat it.
The frequency of the updates are only part of the story though. C had C89, C99, C11, C17. C++ had C++98, C++03, C++11, C++14, C++17, C++20. C++ is updated more often, but it also makes more significant changes in each version than C does.

I don't know Ada as well as I know C and C++, but I believe Ada lands somewhere between C and C++ in terms of how fast-moving it is. Makes sense that Ada is pretty slow moving, given its purpose.
Not only faster, but we aren't beholden to the APIs offered by Google and others. Manifest v3 threatened the existence of popular content-blockers like uBlock Origin. Since we are the browser, we aren't so limited. A recent example of how we are able to do more was with the introduction of CNAME blocking, which allowed us to identify when a third-party tracker had managed to be requested from a first-party URL: https://brave.com/privacy-updates-6/.

My biggest issue with _many_ ORMs don’t deal with production deployment as a thing but as an afterthought (I’m looking at _most_ of the JS ORMs for this nonsense; `.sync()` should _NOT_ be how you introduce database changes).

Early Rails got many things wrong from a DB perspective (what do you expect when MySQL is the baseline for capabilities?), but its insistence on using migrations from the first word was one of the best decisions ever made.

The argument is that most gun laws aren't "valid federal law."

The constitution restricts the federal government from infringing on the right to bear arms. It doesn't list it as an enumerated power of Congress, and the 2A only grants the power to regulate militias (and there's an argument that even the word "regulate" back then meant more to "supply/assist/resolve/provide-for" than it meant to "control").

There are some arguments re: taxation or commerce clause, but even when those clauses are used to justify un-enumerated federal laws, they don't over-ride an explicit amendment.

Exceptions that might be valid federal law fall under some other federal authority, like imports/exports, laws regulating the military, or laws that apply only to federal property, etc.
I definitely second the Embody. I got a decent deal on one on Craigslist and it's been a great investment in my setup.
That's not a heatwave by US standards, that's a pretty common summer day for a decent chunk of the US. Arizona can get to around 50C.
the miles you mention are one thing, but performance was always more important to me.

java pendant c# was always much more performance focused than java, having structs, unmanaged c# and c++ interoperability. it took java 16 years or so to accept that structs have their justification.

i also find the c# language much nicer than java. f# versus clojure are both excellent additions and again, f# is the more static and performant while clojure has very nice and inspiring features and aspects. it depends on what one wants here.

finally i think even if java is the larger universe, the .net universe certainly is not small either. if .net would not have taken the cross platform road i would have switched to the java runtime, but happily the opposite happened.
Amazon suspends popular electronics manufacturer for buying reviews
I'm not a nuclear engineer, but one of the LFTR videos seemed to comprehensively break down the nucleotide chains, and yes the fundamental breeding ability I think helps.

IIRC people have stated that the breeding could also reprocess the bad millenial-scale waste from LWR into usable fuel or other isotopes in MSRs, although maybe not in LFTR.

If we had a decent LFTR industry, we could probably have more specialized MSRs to deal with the "legacy" waste and breeder reprocess into new fuel or other stuff.

The chemists from ORNL seemed pretty amazing. They had all the work done for separating out the byproducts for use in other applications.
Pretty sure SpaceX's first deliveries to Mars (orbit) will include just that. I think they could probably use Starlink satellites without much modification (most important one I can think of would be more panels to cope with the reduced solar irradiance)?

The GPS constellation has 32 satellites. A GPS satellite weighs ~2000kg. Starship should get 100-150 tons to Mars - the math checks out! (Disclosure: I got all my rocket science from sending Kerbals to their doom.)

So, MPS for Mars, LPS for Luna? Just imagine the amount and quality of rover footage we could get if each of them had (constant!) 1Gbps uplink to Earth...
they don't force that at all. they have an annoying pop up. so do many other high profile information-conveying websites on the internet.

I mean people thought the same thing about Windows 10 and to this day it's a mix of 7 different designs or so.
One feature that amazes me about the algorithm is that it reacts to scrolling habits in what seems to be the minimum possible number of observations. Suppose half of your feed are talking head videos. Stop interacting with them abruptly by scrolling over within 2 seconds and observe how the algorithm gradually reduces their frequency.
HTTP has a huge infrastructure for translating http request into endpoints. With all the bells and whistles. Nothing is there for messaging. You can get a library for everything but there is no focused stack for processing messages.
I'm jealous of the fact that you're not aware that there is a solution for this. What do you think VPNs are selling? It's specifically relief from ISP-level tracking.

It's profitable enough that there seem to be ads for it baked into everything. I won't repeat their name here, but have you avoided that "Sponsored by NxxxVPN" all over the Internet/baked into every YouTube video that has sponsored videos?
> nobody is claiming that he can't say that, merely that he shouldn't

No, there is no practical difference between the "can't" and "shouldn't", if your intent is to participate in the punishment for what someone does. (Maybe you feel, as an individual, you cannot influence it. But in fact you can easily become part of the mob that does have the real power of punishing somebody.)

> Pretending that we should all just ignore him telling a fan to "shove it up your ass"

Yes, of course we should ignore it, it was just a heckler. Even a heckler can be a fan. Everybody can be an a* sometimes, and deserves to be called out about it.

> As compared to what, mind reading?

Compared to his actions, of course. If you don't have additional information, only words, think twice about acting upon such information.

> you're upgrading this to "morality" when my original point was about whether I wanted to do business with him

It's of course up to you. But why wouldn't you want to do business with him anymore for other reason than to uphold a moral standard? It isn't like he cheated you, in fact we probably agree that Factorio is a great product. The morality comes into it from reasoning about your response.

In any case, I was speaking in a larger context. People do this all the time. For example, there are people who think Linus Torvalds is worse than Bill Gates because of the harsh words he sometimes uses (in public).

To me, that is a very superficial way of looking at things. And same here, I think Kovarex is one of very few capitalists who actually deserve all the money they got.

And that's so sad about all this "cancel culture" thing. It's boycotting people who are not necessarily the worst, just easy targets.

> So what, I can't make my own decisions based on someone else's behavior because there are other issues?

You can do whatever you want, all I am saying is you "shouldn't".
You seem to have a very narrow definition of "portable." Can you link to the definition of the jargon term you appear to be using here?

Also, have you considered that some words have colloquial meanings too, and that it doesn't make sense to label them as "not correct"?
It's mostly a matter of matching the output characteristics of the amplifier to the capability of the speakers... which is what most consumer products with speakers do. Note that the OP concluded that it likely wasn't possible to blow the PC speaker.
I bought the Secret Lab Titan about 2 years ago, and I'm quite happy with it.

It's the first time I buy an expensive chair:before I was spending around 150 to 200€, this one is 400€.

I have no regret, for the first time I can spend hours seating without any problems.

Given this experience I would not go back to a cheaper chair.
Wow, the whole process only takes several weeks?
That's a relief! If they teach them to replicate themselves, many more people could be rescued.
We have inland seas. The Great Lakes are vast and they can be barged out to sea (we’d need agreements with Canada; but feasible)

It may not be cost effective for some... but a large percentage (~60%) of the US pop live within a 100 miles from seashores...
> And one of the victim company's requirements will be that if I pay, then you agree to leave me alone.

I'm curious how one would enforce that. From the fact that the ransom got paid in the first place, we can establish that there's no legal body that's able and willing to exercise any authority over the ransomware group. So it's not like you can sue them for breach of contract.

Perhaps you can rely on the honor system? Though, given this is a group of professional extortionists we're talking about, if you choose to go that route, you may be at elevated risk of getting what you deserve.

I've definitely blown PC speakers with softsynths before so it should be possible in principle.
My Netgear R8500 was 50 watts easily I'd say. My friends gaming computer DEFINATELY uses more than 100W. Basic computer use for cryptomining seems to use a lot more as well. It just doesn't seem like 100W for what this thing does is a ton.
I’m not sure I follow; why would/should Microsoft make libraries for projects they don’t own?
> the argument that ZFS necessitates ECC more than Ext4 or Btrfs or XFS or whatever doesn't really seem to be accurate

Agreed.

> If I were running a server farm or something, then yeah, I'd probably use ECC memory, but I think if you're running a home server

Then you should still use ECC RAM, regardless of what filesystem you're using.

No, really. ECC matters (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25622322) generally.
Ransomware is actually a net benefit. They force information security into the business agenda in a way that we haven’t really been able to accomplish before. You can now quantify the cost of getting pwned. It’s a bit like the immune system needing pathogens every once in a while.
I always thought spending more than $500 for a chair was for suckers. Then I did some house sitting for a friend. They had a Herman Miller Aeron Chair.

At the time I was doing my CS final project and was putting in consecutive 12 hour days. I had chronic back issues, and had never been able to pull that kind of project off without at least some back pain! I was sold on this chair.

Once I graduated and got a real job, I upgraded to an Aeron and never looked back. That being said, I got a significant discount by shopping used on eBay. There are people who go to offices, buy the whole lot of used chairs, then refurbish and sell them. Paid about $650 for it, and I feel good knowing there are replacement parts available if something wears out in the future.

I threw out the headrest and the lumbar thing, though. Didn't find those comfortable.

That sounds fantastic. I think we have very different ideas of what suburban means, though. In that suburban neighborhood, where do people work? Is everyone remote, except for the service workers at the restaurants, bars, grocery stores, etc? Or do most people commute to a nearby city? Don't you need a car for that?
I just put two 8TB drives into btrfs because it's a home server, I can't provision things up front. One day I may put a third 8TB drive and turn this RAID1 into RAID5. btrfs lets me do that, zfs doesn't, simple as.

One day I may switch the whole thing to bcachefs, which I've donated and am looking forwards to. For the moment, btrfs will have to do.

EDIT: downvoted by... the filesystem brigade?
That's true, the whole thing on my end is likely some fallacy.

On another note, I've always thought the idea of constructing your own ad profile could be interesting. Like selecting the types of products and related content that you'd want to be pushed.

From my understanding this is kind of the goal of social apps but it's obviously not self-directed. I guess it is in some capacity based on your behavior but it's not like you're intentionally clicking selecting you'd be interested and actually would maybe buy.
The one thing the OP article doesn't actually do is claim that Firefox is more SECURE than Chrome/Brave, the arguments (mostly bad) are that it more private. And that pretty much goes without saying for Chrome, since its entire raison d'etre is to strip privacy from its users for Google. It's unfortunate that on platforms outside macOS you have to choose between risking your privacy being invaded or your device being invaded.

The reality in any case is that in every pwn contest every year, all the major browsers are exploited, usually with full sandbox escapes; Chrome has better security implementation but a huge install base that makes effort to crack it worthwhile, while Firefox is easier but has trivial market share.
