I do my upgrades every few weeks, for what it's worth, and I've had the same Arch install since 2013. The size of the upgrade should very rarely have any effect on whether it succeeds; you're just more likely to have missed some major changes if you're upgrading without checking the latest news from the website.

Partial updates are also unsupported, and in my experience that's the most common way people break things.
I was going to say this as well. I, too, am neither affiliated with Google or China. This very much sounds like a, "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine," kind of thing IMHO.
I can't argue with your personal experience, but I pay less to heat a 17 year old, 3300 sq. ft. house than I did a 900 sq ft one that was built in 1950.

Insulation matters, especially when you have temperature swings from 100F in the summer to -25F in winter.
I've addressed that in numerous comments in this thread, for example this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27646204. If you look at the past explanations linked from there, you should find that they cover it. If not, let me know and I'll try to answer.

The short version is (1) some stories are on topic for HN even though they have political overlap; (2) users still need to follow the site guidelines in such threads—in fact more so ("Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."); and (3) that very much includes not going into flamewar, let alone repeating flamewar tropes.

For sure. Facebook is like the Dulles brothers' wet dream.
Your point being? In the end anything and everything you do may end being used for evil by someone else. Even if you're a hermit in the woods, one day someone may use your old discarded axe to kill someone.
Add to this that the Trump administration had the chance to pardon Assange, and there was a strong and impassioned campaign from his partner (of which he shares 2 children) putting the case forward, but instead they pardoned actual war criminals. So I'm not sure the Republican administration/voter base really cares that much for JA either. The military have to visibly protect their own so they can assure the next gifted killing-machine asset that they can indulge in what they joined up for.
What if we don’t want to upgrade, but our hardware qualifies? Will we be sneakily forced to upgrade with Ux dark patterns again?
And is there a language like HolyC?
Can you elaborate? I'm having a hard time imagining what a foam windscreen is, or what its purpose is.

Related: I am in academia, and literally these are the questions that I ask prospective PhD students : what was one hard thing you understood in your area of interest? What was unexpected? And what was the final enlightenment when finally things clicked into place?
I so want this to be true, but a quick skim of Wikipedia makes me think it's unlikely.
I wonder how true the western claim is that North Koreans always feel like they’re being held hostage and fearing for their lives, so they make sure to stay in line. Or whether it’s closer to its neighbor, China, where most people simply do not care about those “forbidden” things and thus don’t seek them out.

Think of people living in rural Appalachia (a place I’m from). Most don’t think about how “good” life could be outside of that area where job opportunities are more plentiful and standard of living is higher. There’s a very strong party allegiance that’s almost religious. Caring about other countries extends to knowing just the names of some major economies and not much more. Unlike NK, they’re completely free people, but they’re happy enough being there with many never going more than a few miles from their home town or researching what the outside world is like. Most people there just don’t care. And I’m not implying it’s bad, just not an uncommon mindset.
First, that does seem a bit funny to me, especially if you're married. It (being hit on) certainly would not be the first thing I suspected if a gay friend asked me to go have a drink. On the other hand, there have definitely been situations where I would have liked to ask a woman to go have a platonic drink, and didn't because of a concern she would get the wrong idea (I'm married too).
Pointers kill people
The simpler explanation is that they’ve decided the demand just isn’t there.

Their current APUs aren’t bad for casual gamers doing budget builds. Scaling them up significantly would require larger power supplies, bigger heatsinks, and other expenses. By the time an actual gamer is going through the trouble of building such a system, they’re likely to just buy an entry-level GPU so their CPU and GPU don’t have to be upgraded together.
There’s a whole mueller report that was started and run by GOP. Person who started it was Rosenstein, a republican. Who picked Mueller another Republican. Why would they fake evidence against their own president?
I hope this isn't true. Imagine if flat earth, anti-vaccines and 911 was faked becomes "orthodoxy". We'd be a regressed society.
Haiku made my 2 GB netbook usable as a desktop, and it was very simple to operate for office tasks, and this was a year ago. Just intuitively I would guess that by Windows 10 EOL in October 2025 it will be a very reasonable choice.
In Japan, my understanding is that it's common to tear down a perfectly good home and build a new one on the site. That pretty much never happens in the US.
The results in this report basically jives with my lived experience.

I often think I should move to a city where some of my close school friends live. We are all techies and should really all work together but haven’t done so yet.

I currently live in my wife’s hometown and there are a lot of folks who were born and raised here so the social fabric is strong. That being said I haven’t made any friends here. Oddly my wife made all new friends and while still has childhood friends here doesn’t really see them.

That being said I’ve made friends at various jobs and I correlate a happy job and workplace success with the ability to make a friend at work.

The only other thing I do is golf and I get some socialization there.

We will probably see things change post pandemic though.
I for one still have a win 7 desktop at a big dumb corp (f500). So yeah.
Not trying to be judgmental here, just trying to get your take. But if one of your close friends got cancer and died a few months later, would you ever get to say goodbye to them?

Given the other descriptions in this thread, it seems like you wouldn't unless they or someone they were close to reached out to you to let you know. If that was the case and I was your friend and I died with zero contact from you, I would have to strongly consider that you do not care about me and were not there for me as a friend when I needed it the most.

That is how I would feel about it, but I'm curious if what I describe is a fair hypothetical and how you think about that situation.
For as informed as you claim to be, everything you’ve linked to, claimed, and insinuated is vague, indirect, unsubstantiated, and disappears into a cloud of boring political talking points.
Looks like you did not understand that comment. Concrete will not let a draft through no matter where the wind hits. For fiberglass and others, one bad fitting means a current can form through the material. This is why you need tyvek to begin with.
Git stores more than just code, though. The tool already supports custom merge tools, so why not apply your favorite AST mergetool to the relevant source files?

Your suggestion (what comes after git) is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Look at 0:21. If you pick a point at the bottom of the screen, you can see how fast the drone is moving relative to the buildings. It's going quite fast.
Yeah, nah, it's not an exaggeration. Even as a kid the first time I saw "illegal opeation" on a Windows machine I thought it meant something actually unlawful had occurred.

In the early 90's there was a prank Extension for Mac OS called "Radiation" and a partner application called "Trigger". Trigger would allow you to pop up a system alert dialog box over the Appletalk network on whichever machine had the Radiation extension installed, allowing some nice pranking opportunities. The default message was "The radiation shield on your Macintosh has failed. Please step back five feet." … It worked, and some people would literally jump away from their desk when they saw this message! Ahh, the good old days hahaha :)

(If you're still skeptical, I can probably dig up a copy of this software since I surely have it on an old disk somewhere, but of course I can't prove people moved away from the computer -- there's only my anecdote to go by here haha)
So cortina can watch you unless you uncheck the 5-6 planned checkboxes they will hide in the settings and re-check every feature update? It’s for your best experience you know (speculating/joking/not joking)
I was going to say. In the PNW at least, probably 99% of all new construction uses cement siding for the lion's share of the exterior.
> Hospitals don't normally run out of respirators and morgue space. These are all well reported and documented.

I'm surprised people still believe the whole "overloaded hospitals" thing, it's a canard driven by selective reporting from a few very under-resourced jurisdictions like Lombardy and low-income NYC. Overall hospital occupancy was lower through 2020 than it was in prior years because people were scared away from hospitals and staff were furloughed.

The delta variant is a totally unsurprising development in the evolution of a virus: more transmissible and less lethal.
But why would Microsoft care about that? Having the bigger OS number is really unimportant, else ChromeOS would dominate at version 90. Also, if that was really the case, they should've made the jump earlier and/or directly go to 12.
There are plenty of Chinese brand advertising on YT. And there is a large population consuming YT videos through VPN, and oversea Chinese people myself for example (you can pretty much find every Chinese content creator with decent followers, probably >100k, mirror their video between Chinese ddomestic sites and YT.
> For example, there are a lot of people believe in flat earth theory, but that does not stand to be a US sentiment,

Nobody but you in this thread is speaking in absolutes. _Some_ to _lots of_ US citizens believe the earth is flat.

> Same, one cannot claim Chinese people believe they are evolved from independent source than people living in other countries.

_Some_ to _lots of_ Chinese people _do_ believe this. You keep saying "Nobody actually thinks ___", which isn't true.
Thermal mass is not always a good thing. High thermal mass is helpful in a temperate climates where winter nights are chilly and summer days are warm, but the average temperature all year is comfortable.

We don't have that in most of America. Having a high thermal mass in New England just means your heater has to work harder in the winter to heat your thermally massive house. Ditto for Arizona during most of the year.
You are right. Great work!

One somewhat related theoretical observation about concurrency is in some article by Dijkstra (I don't remember the reference right now): he says that debugging using traces (essentially printf) does not work for concurrency, since it is projecting multidimensional data (data present at the same time in multiple processes) unnecessarily linearized onto a single dimension (a sequence of printfs) and then trying to make sense of what is happening. It may not work, even if you print timestamps.

His view was to promote theoretical proofs of correctness of concurrent code, rather than debugging, but to me at least, this is much more difficult.
> This whole rant post is about reddit requiring users to register to use their (free) service.

Yes, in part, but your comment disregards two things.

1. The dishonest things they're doing to require that.

2. The fact that they're requiring registering to consume content others have created.

> If you wish to use it, register. If you don't, don't.

I don't so I didn't. And I wrote why and what I would have liked to be done differently.
Well you do want to socially inoculate your kids at least for their sake. Kids learn to relate to others from their parents.
Decline to answer. Happy to address general questions, though.
AFAIK it can model the interleaving possibilities at hand, and helps to find somewhat short execution traces that violate some logic/assumptions.
Ahhh yeah, a friend of mine made a boot floppy that echoed something like "Erasing C:\ ..." and maybe listing out filenames (hard to remember). I think he set some option so it wouldn't listen to keyboard input so you couldn't interrupt it? He found it absolutely hilarious, though I never got to see the prank in action, haha
> That's a lot of presuppositions and stereotypes in two sentences.

In my (limited) experience many stereotypes are accurate.

> I'd think smaller families would increase availability for socialization

It really depends, but I don't know. Large families are correlated with certain activities, beliefs, etc which might be what help increase social interaction. I know a lot of parents who have big families and their kids basically introduce them to half a dozen families who they're friends with and it exponentially increases opportunity for socializing as the children age and dynamics change.
Companies that do business with the US .gov should be req’d to apply 1st amendment rights to their users. Much like public universities who receive taxpayer funding.
> I'm sorry you have frequently experienced people that are clearly bored when talking to you.

There's no need for the ad hominem.

Again, the problem with this is not that it's scheduled, it's that it's canned.

It's like training a robot to do foreplay. Is it that joyless that I have to let it kickstart the sex before I come into the room?

Scheduling a reminder to talk is one thing. But sending a canned opener that I thought of another day and in another mood says that I don't have anything interesting or fun to share with the other person, and if I don't, why should I talk to them? It puts the onus on them.
Absolutely. Even recorded history is full of migrations of large groups of people (anglo-saxons, repeated migrations out of the Asian steppe, mass migrations of the Native Americans after European arrival, etc). If we could reach high enough state of moral development we might even come to see migration as a human right. Though I believe impending material poverty will make that unlikely.
I'm assuming they simply start with a very restrictive list, as it's easier to say "it's supported anyway" later than to explain to people that their PC is incompatible despite their tool having told them otherwise before. Other reason might be newer CPU instructions and that they can't guarantee a good experience on older hardware. This is just my speculation, though.
Another example are OS-bypassing workloads which are tail-latency sensitive. They will prefer to avoid any OS involvement and take charge of everything in user space.
> Look at a platform like Apple. Every release makes it harder to run arbitrary code.

The original claim was that "you might not be allowed to program in 'unsafe' languages on all other mainstream platforms". But Apple restrictions don't distinguish between safe and unsafe languages, they just restrict all arbitrary code, so this is not an example of the point being made, but rather an orthogonal issue.
OP25 – Cheapest P25 Receiver
There’s a surprisingly sizable market for small, moderately powerful x86 solutions. These end up inside a lot of integrated solutions ranging from digital signage to the control boards inside of various pieces of equipment.

A lot of small tech companies write software first and then figure out what hardware to run it on later, which ends up being some variation of these compact solutions that can be bought in volume and usually have a certain availability lifetime that can be counted on.
There's nothing wrong with C# -- as long as the tooling supports the processor you're targeting and the interrupt/sleep states of the micro.

If you're running off a battery say, then it's better to build your software from the start to optimize for the various sleep modes.

Presuming you plug in a Radeon card, what does that matter?
as someone who struggled with this - my advice is pretty simple: "just say yes." Anytime anyone asks if you're interested in doing anything, just say yes. In my experience the problems sort of just resolved themselves. though this is much harder than it sounds. I used to be a huge flake because I'd always say no (for valid reasons, such as I just wasn't interested or wasn't really feeling the person that much), but saying yes and frequently being around someone (or a group) made some of the issues resolve themselves somehow.

Conversely, once you get past this my other advice would be "many to one" - hang out in groups frequently to massage things, and try to hang out with people by themselves as frequently as possible. as great as group hang outs are - it's just not the same as one-on-one. for one you're not as candid about things.

finally my last note would be: just because you see someone alot in a group does not mean you are friends. I cannot emphasize this enough. you must hang out with people in smaller groups, ideally one-on-one (this is not to say that people you hang out with in groups aren't your friends, tho).
I can't spin this job as one something with python experience

Probably not, but you CAN accurately depict it as a job where you learned about business financial reporting. That's something that separates you from some rando who read "Babby's First Data Science" book and knows nothing about any real-world problem domains.
Oh, from the title I thought it was written in Javascript, with some crazy WASM or WebGL hack to check your hardware models.
Kafka Streams are also amazing, and would have solved many problems I've encountered in the past better than our microservices moving data around themselves.

I see much more Arab propaganda on social media, a lot of it is racist and vile, just because of the sheer numbers of Muslims hating Israel comparing to the Jews who support it. Only tiny amount of it is blocked and many times Jews supporting Israel are blocked on much less significant "charges" just because so many Muslims flag those posts, many times it is an automatic ban. This article is a joke and misrepresenting what is actually happening on social media these days. There are about a billion Muslims hammering their views against Israel, do you really think Israel can block anything in any effective way?
Having met Cal, the description tracks.

Reference Lawfare as a source of unbiased truth in an article about Assange being framed by the intel agencies? The irony could hardly be higher. Ben Wittes, Lawfare editor (Brookings sponsored), claimed counsel status to the head of the FBI in legal proceedings. The streets of Russiagate are paved with agency partisans.
Seems like old fashioned computer literate people are becoming the new computer illiterate. Perhaps kids learn these things socially from each other?

I recently discovered the iPhone Notes app has an undo capability. There's no indication of it on any of the screens but you have to shake the phone. Shake to undo? Is that common now? How do you learn this stuff?
In spite of my own personal challenges, I'm actually more hopeful than many people seem to be. (Edit: at least for humanity. Not necessarily for myself.)

When I was a young kid, my family visited another family for a party at their house. I was trying to play SimCity or something on their computer, and the family's son, a bit younger than me, was there with me. Some error was coming up and I was trying to make it retry, but the computer kept beeping. The son was like "you're hurting it!" and got really upset that I was making the computer beep. I mean, I was a bit older and had a real laugh, but he was genuinely concerned for the well-being of the computer! IIRC he even ran to his parents because I was "hurting" the computer hahah
No, and it is only going to get worse

Since the Inception of the FBI they have declared war on the citizenry, they have zero respect for the constitution, seeing it as a hurtle to their power.

They have done this under many names "War on crime", "War on Drugs", "War on Terror", and now "War on Domestic Extremism"

They are all covers for the same abuse of power. The only way to end it is a complete reversion of decades and decades of legal frameworks that allows all levels of government to ignore the constitution, pass laws clearly outside the powers of Article 2 Section 8, and removal of all accountability under immunity practices like "Qualified Immunity" and "Sovereign Immunity"

In sort it will take something on the order of another Constitutional Convention and a complete restructure of the federal government... So I doubt anything is going to change
This is *exactly* my experience.
How does concrete stop a draft that is going between a window frame and the wall itself?

I've never had a draft through a fibercement/wood/fiberglass/drywall wall, in any case.
