Nevertheless, most mainstream imperative languages (e.g. Java) have adopted lambdas, "fluent" style, async/await (which is a Monad), and other functional features in the last years, and continue to adopt them.
The house I grew up in had central A/C once, but I think it broke before I was born, and my parents who grew up in the 1930s/40s without such things never bothered to fix it.

They never told me it was bad or selfish to have/use A/C though.

What I don't like about relying on fans is the bugs that find their way through the window screens.
I went cold turkey from Reddit recently after realizing my frequent usage was impacting my life and relationships.
Was harder and easier than I expected. I kept catching myself opening it in a new tab unconsciously. I learned to stop myself before I’d read a single link, or I’d get sucked in.

Deleted my 10+ year accounts a few weeks ago.

Hardly use it now, and have been able to use it more responsibly.
Aren't debt rounds good because there's no dilution? How are they worse than selling new shares? (Genuinely curious)

Yes and who do they appeal to? Central government, which comports with all studies showing high satisfaction with Beijing's performance. And risk of physical protest is qualifiable different than participating in a poll, PRC folks bitch about politics via relatively cost free methods everyday.

>vast majority of PRC you talk to outside of china will tell you they absolutely love their country and hate the ccp.

Maybe if you hang with FLG crowd and base opinion off epochetimes. Apart from dissidents or minorities who actually suffered repression which are the minority, the vast majority of mainland diaspora acknowledge central gov is what made modern PRC great, even if begrudgingly. Of course negative sentiment towards government exists... 5% against central gov as data shows. Everyone, everywhere bitches about politics, local and central, difference is PRC citizens overwhelmingly feels central gov is performing well. And in context of national approval, one evaluates based on performance of central gov like top executive branches / politburo members. Again this is consensus of 30 years of polling that's been scrutinized every which way by western institutions.
All these companies figured out that idiots will pay a subscription fee for things that they used to pay for just once
And you can avoid grid failures proactively for a comparatively very small inconvenience. The only thing I'd think must be changed is the incentive offered to the client. Only giving entries to sweepstakes is a pretty laughable reward considering how much money can be saved by using less at the very high peaks of usage. Especially in places where end user distribution is separate from transmission/ electricity generation/etc & electricity rates vary depending on real time demand. Plus, If they give good enough incentives I think a lot of people would be interested especially when the inconvenience amounts to making you use less electricity when it's at its most expensive (not a concern yet for most because of fixed rate tarification being a lot more common)

Backwards compatibility would be the most likely explanation for why the settings panel has interfaces from the last five operating systems versions. Considering how flaky Windows settings have been historically, and how complex it must be (in part due to the 40 years of backwards compatibility) it surely wasn’t practical to completely rewrite those components.
I know Enterprise customers require extreme backward compatibility, but it must be a fairly small number who are still running legacy code written in 1771.
If you are working with those small minority then they are not teens anymore. Yes, they work hard to have their child speaking, that is why only half of those minority speaks the language and other half barely use it. I say barely as in they do understand and speak it, but no longer a native tongue and cant describe things without going back to mandarin.

Should have written 80s to 90s. Generally speaking we talk about Fishing village as before all the manufacturing investment going up to China. That was when the whole manufacturing industry in HK moved up north, where north meant across the border to Shenzhen.
This was unusually gripping. Thanks for sharing.
body and mind goes hand in hand, when my cardiovascular system cracks, my brain follows, my senses after that and my mind suffers from all the difficulties and loss of simple pleasures. now of course one can lose his head even if a healthy body.. but raising the floor overall is good.
What hosting service do you recommend to run it on?
Absolutely. We actually run our company on a discord with both public and private channels, just so we can strike up conversations with people.

We have three target customers: the experienced retail trader with multiple exchange accounts, the long-term hodler who’s looking for better indexing tools, and the crypto newbie who just wants to learn how to get started.

In terms of having a laser focus on a single area, honestly I both agree and disagree. Most of the unique and interesting paths we can take are based on having a wider foundational breadth of features (best price trades require multiple exchange connections, auto rebalancing requires a complete view of your portfolio, tax prep requires order management). All these things are interweaved within each other.

Totally agree that it’s a lot, but it’s also much easier to make a general product specific, than it is to make a specific product general. The tough thing is trying to strike the right balance between that foundation and really nailing a single aspect.

Right now, that single focus is custody and best price trades.

I have a long history of non-fiction storytelling, but I suspect that this approach will translate to fiction:

One thing I slowly discovered about storytelling is that you should decide in advance what your hook, climax, and conclusion will be.

The hook is a promise that something worthwhile is ahead, it is intended to make the listener eager to hear what the climax will be. Next, share the relevant background info and explanations. You can meander and digress a little, but always be pushing toward that climax, the moment where something amazing occurs to fulfill the promise of the hook. When you get to the climax, hit them over the head with it, then sprint to that satisfying conclusion with as little fuss as possible; get the story buttoned up while they're still reeling from the climax.

Also, a good story needs to have clear stakes; there need to be obvious, dire consequences for one or more people if things go sideways. And maybe they do go sideways.

I could go on and on, but I shouldn't, I must awake early tomorrow. I hope this helps!

Does a typical speaker capture all the wavelengths that would cause recognition? For some reason my cat only responds to cat vocalizations avidly from the fancy AV equipment.
It’s very nice that you can install and all the driver, but what does that have to do with the control panel being a chaotic mess of layers from the past 25 years?

I find this article rather informative as someone who hasn’t used windows in 10 years. Now that it’s all laid out there, I can clearly see that various layers of the control panel are using the visual style of Vista, 2000, and so forth.

I suppose Microsoft has technical reasons for not making the some of the most important user-facing parts of their flagship product consistent in terms of interface, but it’s quite a stretch to say that the consistency shown here is anything other than abysmal. No wonder my parents find this incredibly confusing.
This is a great initiative. The last time I remember setting up a mail server using Postfix or Dovecot was around 2015.

It was a traumatizing experience. It rarely worked, all my email went to spam and I absolutely hated the amount of hackery and duct tape required to keep it working. Configuration files, missed emails...

It was so unpleasant, to this day I avoid messing with mail on servers at all costs. I'd much rather pay for Mailgun or some provider.

Lately I've been seeing an uptick of these apps making self-hosted email easier. Mail in a box, Maddy, etc. I will unconditionally support anything that makes doing this easier.

I'm not switching from GSuite, but I'm happy to see progress in the space.
What Do We Do as a QA Engineer?
I don't sit around configuring my machine so I can't really say if it's gotten better, but I know the past 5 years have taught me too look anywhere but there. There's never been a good reason to have two different overlapping configuration apps.
The equivalent program where I live (Los Angeles) gives you $120 for participating in your first summer, then $60 every following year. It's absolutely worth it in my book

All the fear mongering about the remote control is bizarre to me. You're warned in advance before the adjustment happens, and it's not like you're locked out of your thermostat. If you get uncomfortable just turn the temp back down. It's an easy way to reduce your fossil fuel consumption, especially since the thermostat will precool beforehand, which is typically a time when renewables are a higher proportional of the grid's supply
This doesn't answer your question, but I gave up on hosting my own email. I host my own other stuff where I can but email is just too much of a pain; constant delivery problems (especially to MS), spam is a pain to keep up with etc.
Reddit turned its millions of users into a content moderation army
It's better if you don't insult people and just provide a source.

Also, you didn't address my main objection to what's happening in this situation.
That’s what I wonder… understood that the windows internals are developed to maintain backwards compatibility, but why are they not able to change the user interface?

The Vista control panel being the second layer of the Windows 10 control panel is one of the weirdest. Other than maintaining the same layout for users, why is the second layer of their settings panel just the exact settings panel from the OS 14 years ago?
I have the ergo chair 2 from autonomous and quite like it. However the armrests are quite mediocre, they are hard plastic and are quite loose. I’ve been looking for pads to put on them but so far I’ve not seen anything that looked like it won’t flatten or tear quickly (according to reviews at least)
Your mail will go to Spam too with Maddy, this is not about the MTA.
You don't need an ADC, you need a fast threshold circuit with regular sampling that will turn the noise into a bitstream, and a shift + latch register to accumulate large enough words from these bits.

The biggest problem of such a design might be correlation with the variations of the power supply voltage.
If what you say is true, you should be able to convince shareholders/investors to require the workforce of the companies they own shares in to be unionized. There is no justification to back laws that limit the contracting rights of the employers. Such advocacy is based on a "I know better, so I will dictate your choices" principle.

And I would bet that companies that see their workforce unionize see a drop in market performance, across all dimensions: revenue, profits, innovation, etc. And I would make that bet in the market, and you would stand to make money off of me if you bet the opposite and were right.

But the labor laws as they stand don't allow these varying models to compete freely. As soon as a company's workforce unionizes, it receives regulatory protection from dismissal, and has the power to suppress the employer's contract freedom, by forcing it to forego negotiating with any party not in the union.

It's a situation that's ripe for abuse, and rampant abuse has occurred in such situations over the past century, as unions suck shareholders dry.
"Just as Capable?"

Facebook removes what they deem 'hate speech' and some controversial things during emergencies, like minsinformation about vaccines.

TikTok actively suppresses all sorts of information.

Go ahead and put up Toks of Hong Kong protests, Tienanmen square or Uyghurs incarceration.

Mostly - this suppression is just the natural business language of Chinese owners, but it's also direct and indirect pressure from the CCP.

That's not very comparable to what Facebook is doing.

That said, it's a decent app.
But the programs we are discussing here are parts of windows written by Microsoft with their own toolkits.
That’s a very gross generalization and could be said about many countries.

I think a lot of people fail to understand that while the US is a single country, it is massive and has many distinct governments and regional communities that make it impossible to throw it all under a single label.
I love the modern use of the word “shocked” when used when something slightly unexpected happens. I didn’t take an umbrella and rain started, I was shocked!

It is either inflation of meaning of the words, or infantilism of modern people. And I don’t know what is worse.

He also mentions why the doctors didn't accept his findings. They simple weren't willing to accept their roles in the death of mothers.
Wow! There really are programs which plug into dialogs in this way? Well, that's a new level of compatibility hell. Thanks for the answer.
Does it not help to turn the notifications off in the notifications settings?

I don’t know, it seems likely that this tech could be easily repurposed. Recognising screams implies recognising other things that aren’t screams. Do we know that there’s already generic technology for drones to pick up accurate ground audio?
Many months ago I saw some Toks which had 'Huge Red Flags' - basically Chinese Nationals trying to convince of some obvious CCP policy - though I couldn't tell for sure if it was propaganda, it seemed like it.

But haven't seen that in months.

But otherwise I don't think they promote propaganda actively.

But the difference between FB/Twitter and TT is the kinds of suppression they do. TT will remove anything that might remotely offend the sensibilities of the CCP.
How did you get around deliverability issues?
Replication and backups are usually different things. If you need replication, yes, backup tools won't cut it latency wise.

But proper backup tools like rsnapshot, borg, etc. pp. have no trouble correctly backing up email servers even at 10 or 100 times your mail store size.
I think global menubars are severely underrated. They act as a sort of index of any given program's functionality, complete with key shortcuts and because it's a facet of the OS itself and will be there regardless, there's no point in paring away menus for minimalism's sake.
The accelerometer would be fine until you take a corner. Then things would get exciting.
Where do you get that price from? We have been trying to source high speed ADCs for some experiments and it's virtually impossible to get anything above 5 GS/s and prices are more than an order of magnitude higher than what you state.
Handling the problem re: time spent improving code quality vs. creating features
Is cybersecurity the new ``market for lemons``?
Currently developed countries are all struggling with fertility rates below the replacement rate, so while something like curing aging would certainly lead to those sorts of problems, I would expect extending healthy lifespan by some decades could actually solve more problems than it creates. Also as health and lifespans increase, people tend to delay having children, and have fewer overall.

Also thinking a bit bigger picture, even if people didn't die of old age at all, couples could still have approximately 1.1 children each on average without the population increasing beyond ~1.5x its initial level. Of course, even that level of restriction seems far-fetched (but then, so does a cure to aging), but it's not like people would need to stop having children entirely.
Which is the "native" API - win32, MFC/ATL, Form builder, WPF, or MAUI? If you're dealing with HWNDs directly, it's either win32 or MFC/ATL, but those haven't been touched in tens of years in favor of the current .NET APIs.
Depends on how much latency/what big a time window for data loss between runs you can afford. We went from streaming cyrus-imapd replication to minutely send/receive for availability, but that introduces a 30-90 time window where data can be lost. Fine for us (esp. considering the reduction in ops overhead), but not necessarily for everyone.

(Backups are done by rsnapshot pulling from a snapshot, so we have another copy outside ZFS just in case.)
It's not just in the US. When our healthcare system basically shutdown here in Canada for everything but very arbitrarily defined "essential treatments" that may or may not exclude treating things that can kill you but just not imminently, a lot of richer Canadians crossed the borders to get treated at full price (because that's sometimes still better than no treatment if you have even just enough to pay). The rest were stuck with almost no medical care for a full year and a half with no alternative or way to get around it if your treatment didn't make it on the list. So yeah you are right, it's always a matter of class even in places with universal single payer healthcare
Because in the process of extending life, you will also forestall the other effects of aging besides just death by old age. And if you cure aging entirely, then people won't just live indefinite lifespans, they also wouldn't become elderly.
I'm seeing it in the sense of gambling: I buy when I think it's going to go up, you sell because you think it's going to go down (stocks), but people don't think, they just get excited, bubble happens, then we get a small minority winning big and the majority losing.
I always love a fresh perspective, but I would temper the enthusiasm around a redacted edition of a biblical text from 1919. German higher criticism (and thus all biblical scholarship at the time due to its influence prior to WW1 & WW2) was obsessed with "rescuing" the works of antiquity, especially the Bible, from their scribal traditions. This turned out to be basically a dead end, and not least with the discovery of the dead scrolls in 1947.

That said, Ecclesiastes feels less strange the more time you spend with Hebrew poetry (Job, Psalm, chunks of the Prophets) but does give a lot more attention to the theme of vanity in life.
Personally i use a mail server that's preconfigured and lives inside of a Docker container with all of the dependencies that it needs: https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver ( GitHub: https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver ). With it, adding a new e-mail account is as simple as running a script with some parameters and it interoperates nicely with most clients such as Thunderbird or even the one built into Nextcloud (for a lightweight hosted solution without a separate app to manage).

It is pretty awesome to see new projects that try to improve the user experience for the system admins, for example, the Caddy web server and now the Maddy mail server. I'm not sure whether i'd have been able to set up a mail server the "old fashioned way", seemingly in line with the concerns of the other people here who have tried that more extensively. Somehow, while e-mail is super widespread and works decently for getting text information from place A to place B, it also feels a tad overcomplicated (the different components for sending/receiving mail, SMTP, IMAP, POP3, the sad need for anti virus scanning, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, the similarly sad need for anti spam protection).

That said, the containerized solution above has also worked nicely for me - i'll still probably use GMail/other hosted solutions for personal e-mail stuff and communication, but right now i've already switched over to using my own mail server for all of the automated e-mails that i need, such as from SonarQube and Zabbix, as well as GitLab.
I wouldn't want to roll the dice when it comes to aircraft
That’s why I just use Just Perfection extension & remove the top bar. Then you just run budgie-panel or xfce4-panel w/ vala appmenu for the global menu bar on Gnome. Use xfce4 if you need it on 2 or more monitors though - Budgie only supports 1.

Better than KDE imo - you keep sane defaults, simpler configs, & consistent themes.
Does an air conditioner use that much more power than a dehumidifier?
Configuration and setup wise, this looks somewhat simpler to setup than the comparable mailcow-dockerized. https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-dockerized-docs/i_u_m_inst...

I wonder how it compares in multi account management and spam, phishing, & virus blocking, is it extensible?
I wonder if people would be more careful knowing the only way they're likely to die is in an accident. The closest parallel we have is younger vs older people, and younger people are on average less cautious. But is that a developmental thing, or because death seems less real being further away? Maybe people would be more reckless!

Eclipse and Netbeans.
In the days before heavy security it was quite possible for programs to monkey around with other programs' UI in all sorts of way. A lot of that is still possible from an administrator or SYSTEM-privileged context. Some 15 years ago I wrote an Internet Explorer addon that added stuff to the statusbar by hooking into the IE window's message pump and intercepting winforms calls. Shit was wild.

Growing up in the 90s, I remember an article in Visual Basic Programmer's Journal teaching subclassing in VB by hooking into Notepad and adding a font picker (via a new menu entry that opens the font dialog) to change the text control's typeface. (This was long before MS added that same feature)
For a country founded on the ideas of individual freedom, the US seems to have an incredible blind spot when it comes ot the rights of children. In any country with any sort of child protection laws worth their name, these would be illegal, as would most forms of physical punishment and emotional neglect that seem to be permitted in the US.
