With you on progression. First time you see someone being super fast you call them a cheater. Then you learn about Strafe jumping and that it's just how q3 physics work (even if unintentional from the programmers perhaps) and you learn it suddenly you're called a cheater by n00bs. Same with jumping onto things of a certain height. If your graphics hardware could not do a certain framerate constantly it was impossible to do those jumps. Get a new graphics card that could render at the full frame rate cap constantly and you could literally just hold the forward key in front of that obstacle and jump and you were there. Someone with worse hardware would obviously call you a cheat because it was impossible. So at least back then it was also a hardware thing. Another one: I had a regular PS/2 ball mouse. I was just unable to do certain things. Until someone told me there was a setting in Windows to change the scan rate, which improved accuracy and also a USB infrared mouse. Huuuuge difference. In fact I still use that USB mouse today.

I bet this is the same in most games and many many "cheaters" just aren't.

Using a black skin that's part of the game is not cheating if you ask me. Editing a skin to have a bright pink that didn't exist in the game however is cheating.

Having played q3 back when myself it was standard though to make _all_ skins be the standard blue skin. The one that came with the game itself originally. That could be considered not cheating and being an anti-cheating technique. I'd say it's something that depends on the game though. Q3 wasn't really about shadows and using your surroundings in that sense because it wasn't set up for realism. You also played with gamma pretty high etc.

Something like Counterstrike or say Ghost Recon however I would very definitely find it cheating if you changed all skins to be the same because of the realism involved. Choosing the right outfit for a map would be part of the game.

I mean I have and my router is on average drawing around 15W but it also isn't remotely close to being able to hit 25Gbps. I don't think 50W (apparently the draw of this router) is unrealistic for a 25Gbps router by any means.
Yeah good point. I think it's also different since the interruption is on your own terms - you've deliberately given yourself 5 minutes break from some task so that you be more focused over the lifetime of that task. You're (hopefully) not getting other tasks thrown at you which can take up precious mental resources or destroy context you've been slowly building up in your head.
I would go with a used SuperMicro A1SAI-2750F motherboard. It comes with an Atom 8-core C2750 (20w TDP) and a single 8 lane PCIe slot, but doesn't need active cooling. Supports ECC ram too. There's a passive heatsink on the CPU that works fine. I believe that would keep up with 2x10gb, be quiet, and power efficient.

They are $200 or so used on eBay. So not terribly expensive for something that can push 10g. And it will fit in any Mini-ITX case.

Don't be put off by the "Atom" branding. The C2750 was no slouch for its heyday.

Harry Potter is my favorite book series in terms of personal enjoyment and memories, and one I re read every so often still. Is the author really cancelled if I’ve never heard about it?

I’m going to assume Rowling isn’t “cancelled”, but has a strong tiny population very upset at her. That’s usually how it goes for most “cancelled” people who aren’t already pretty old and retired instead of trying to continue in any limelight.
Then don’t flip the fridge breaker.
> At my company there have been several devs trying to introduce Clojure as well as parallel forays to introduce Kotlin. Overall, Kotlin has caught on and spread much more rapidly and with less effort.

The reason might be, that Clojure is following a completely different paradigm and people are not willing enough to learn it.

> This is not a statement of which languages are "better" given all things equal or what problems each are suitable for, but in my first hand experience it is easier for the average Java developer to pick up Kotlin.

Yep, I would expect that to be the case.

There is a lot to learn for the average Java only (so far) programmer to really get Clojure.

If the bunker is permitted then he's going to have no trouble selling it - though the market does tend to get weird when stuff looks weird.

That said, I have trouble believing in the current insanity of urban property markets that anything could make a regular house hard to sell. It won't make it more valuable (nobody's shopping saying "I really need that underground bunker") but I seriously doubt he'd have any trouble beyond that.
I guess this is today's lucky 10k[1] thing - Speech synthesis engines in most OS are not deep int[]-to-sound mappings, they are decades old hand built language specific algorithms that parse sentences and synthesize audio by patching library sounds or generate out of trigonometric in whatever way its designers thought would make sense.

Some engines [ignore] foreign words, some pronounce as if TEE-AYCH-EE-EYE are initialisms, some are built multilingual or otherwise as flexible and accommodating as possible. OS included engines are flexible kind because users would make them say "Your Soufflé au Chocolat is arriving" et cetra.

Hey! I remember that interaction (and sorry for my crass language, I was having a hard time by then).

Your explanation was certainly satisfactory. Now I understand a bit the motivation of people who want to compile different programs depending on what happens to be installed at a particular moment in their computers. I still think that it is "an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California" ;)

I had my first real exposure to CMake earlier this year.

It demos beautifully, but quickly becomes an outrageous collection of side quests to find the secret key.

What collection of hidden methods, global constants, environmental variables and insane incantations must I assemble to cross compile this software?

None. The answer is, None.

The best I was able to find, was get the whole artifice running on your actual workstation, then get it (and an entirely different tool chain, including IDE's?!!) up and running on each target platform, dust off your sneakers to go sit in front of another computer, fire up an IDE and find it's build button.

I know it's not, but CMake somehow manages to feel like a solution created by hand wringing, cat petting, volcano living, mustachioed, cigar-smoking proprietary OS and IDE vendors.

OTOH, zig cc leaves me with a single tear of joy and wonder sliding down my cheek like a framed Velvet Elvis.

Update: Also, premake isn't terrible.
If she’d lifted photos from his profile and published them for profit I’d agree with you. But using the photos of their relationship as inspiration for a fictional story is a much more tenuous connection. And it’s not as if the author directly wrote it with the intention to profit, the story was a huge success in a way that surprised everyone.

It isn’t the story of this woman’s relationship, she herself attests to that. It’s a story inspired by the evidence of her relationship. If asked I bet a lot of authors would say they base their stories on some kind of real world experience, does that mean they all owe royalties?

IMO one of the really interesting parts of this essay is the ambiguity. She’s upset, and upset at the author, but isn’t entirely sure if what happened was actually wrong, or what any of it means. I find that a lot more powerful than trying to cast people as unambiguous heroes or villains.
Why not just use your development machine for development?

Also, why not use a remote server for deployment, testing, and building docker images? Most roles I have had offer such services (remote servers) as part of their costing so wouldn't cost you time, money, or effort.

I agree that having a single place to backup photos etc, is important. I use an external SSD for such a purpose as imo it's more useful to have it offline as I rarely add data and it is less likely to be comprised, e.g., it my machine was hacked.
Love it! Gonna use it on my termimal. Wish we had a font like this with full unicode support too.
No, because the repo was 90TB as of 2015. Also because that company’s policy forbids any source code on mobile devices, or at least did when I was there.

Note that perforce is not like git. One does not generally clone the whole repo. You create client views that contain the files you want to edit. Everything else stays on the server.

> Two groups of people can live next to each other geographically but have hard time understanding each other and not only that both can be uninterested in changing that.

Isn't this description also an assumption? Do you have an example of this? Groups of people who have the same language, but have hard time understanding each other? The closest I can think of is dialects, e.g. regional dialects of British English or British English as opposed to Australian English or South African English, or Australian English; but again, they are mutually comprehensible, and the more cultural exchange happens between these communities the more comprehensible they should be.

> I'm also disturbed by the idea that all of society, all accomplishment, achievement, and maybe even all relationships are the result of power dynamics

While I think I agree with the thrust of your post, this "idea" sounds right to me. It has a similar feel to statements like "all humans are biased" or "you are a product of your culture"—a commonality which underlies life. Acknowledging these forces makes it easier to discover the ideal relationship/life/etc.
That's about 170 kWh/month. I'm in the US and use around 450-500 kWh/month in the summer, which is my time of minimal use because it is warm enough to not need heating and usually not so warm as to need air conditioning.

I'm curious why such a big difference. Here's what I'm using in a household of one.

1. Kitchen appliances: Fridge, microwave, toaster, oven, dishwasher. The first three are used daily. The oven and dishwasher once per week. I'll also occasionally use a bread machine and an electric kettle, maybe a couple times a month.

2. Washing machine and dryer. 4-6 times per month.

3. A 2017 27" iMac, a Raspberry Pi 3, cable modem, TP-Link A7 router, and two TP-Link SG108E switches. A USB hub and a case for a couple external SSDs. An external monitor.

4. A 55" LCD TV which is used a couple hours a day, and an A/V receiver which is always on but usually idle. A couple streaming boxes (Fire Stick 4K, Xfinity Flex).

5. iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Surface Pro 4 chargers charging those devices.

6. Indoor lighting. It is almost all LED. The only exceptions are the lights in the fridge and dryer, one bulb each in the attic and crawl space that I forgot about when switching to LED.

7. An outdoor security light in back that is on overnight. I'm not sure about its power consumption, but these are typically under 100 W, which would be 24 kWh/month during the summer.

(I'm a bit puzzled by that light. I'm still using the same bulb that was there when I bought the house, giving the bulb on "on" time since I've owned it of around 56000 hours. That's quite a bit longer than expected for every kind of light bulb that I can think of that this might be. Only LED should approach that and definitely is not LED).

8. Well pump and water heater. The well pump runs maybe a couple times a day for maybe 5 minutes at a time, and would account for at most a few kWh/month. I know the water heater is a beast--but I think it only runs a little more frequently than once a day.

9. A couple box fans in windows at night to blow out hot air. They are 50 W each. Maybe 50 kWh/month.

10. Miscellaneous. Charger for rechargeable AA and AAA NiMH batteries. Electric toothbrush. A Google Home Mini as a kitchen timer. An Echo Dot to control lights. a Hue hub for the lights. Charger for the batteries for some cordless tools (drill, string trimmer, hedge trimmer) that are all used rarely.
This is not generally why senders say it can take a few days. The general reason is they can’t control whether messages they already sent will be delivered later by the recipient’s systems. In fact there’s no limit to the last time at which you might finally receive such messages.

If 10 pushups is 100%, then you won't make 11. If you do 11, that is 100% of the pushups you can do, not 10.

I didn't say you can't improve but the way I see it is that 100% is the max you can give. Improving doesn't make it 110% otherwise we're all giving 1100000% from when we started our career.

Yes! You can seek out ethical work (and I do), but our industry does tend to treat moral scruples as a luxury that gets priced into your compensation. I.e., if you're not willing to work on certain kinds of projects or at certain kinds of companies, you will generally have to pay for the privilege through lower total compensation.
This has been posted a few times and while it's a good story I find the general root cause highly unlikely to be the case most of the time.

> Although I absolutely support things like #MeToo -- support the idea that women should not be silenced about the bad things that have actually happened to them -- I am disturbed and concerned by the general trend that the world seems to think all heterosexual relationships are inherently abusive or something. We hear a great deal about the bad, the things gone wrong, the dark side and sometimes it seems like there are no good examples out there, no discourse on "This is what a good relationship look like."

Thanks for writing this. We need more women saying this.

There's a disturbing conversation I've seen numerous times (mostly on Reddit) that progresses something like this:

1. Someone (usually a woman) says, "It's a problem when men do <X harmful behavior>".

2. Someone (usually a man) says, "Not all men do <X harmful behavior>".

3. Someone (usually the original person) says some combination of "That's a derailing argument", "That's such a minor issue compared to the issues women deal with", and/or "We need to deal with the women's issue first".

What people need to realize here, is that this is validating the incel narrative that women just hate men. That is literally saying to men, "Eh, whether or not all men are rapists/abusers/etc. isn't important enough to talk about." There's nuance here, I understand it's not those peoples intention to accuse all men of these things. But by refusing to correct themselves when they make this overly-broad generalization, people who do this are making an accusation against all men, intentional or not. If people are going to put a "All men do X" narrative into the world, some men are going to react with "All women do X". That doesn't mean it's okay for those men to do that--it's men's responsibility to gain a nuanced understanding of the world as well. But we should also recognize that this IS going to be the natural result of making statements about an entire gender.

I'm in my 30s and I'm in some communities that put me in contact with men of a wide variety of ages, including men in their early 20s. It's absolutely heartbreaking to me to see how men who have come into age in recent years feel about themselves and about women. We can't continue to tell young men that they're inherently sexist. We can't continue to be surprised when telling young men that they're inherently sexist results in them giving up on treating women well. No one benefits from this.

And to be clear here, it's not just women (and not all women!) propagating these harmful narratives. This is something all of us can work on. I hope for my part that I've helped the men in my life to come to a healthy view of both themselves and women.

I’ve got a handful of computers running in a rack at home. Their total power? Around 400w.

Not a fan of the "turning the power strips off" method. Power supply failures are the number one reason why expensive electronics turn to bricks and subjecting them to the large inrush current that happens on the primary side every time you do the mechanical switch thing is a great way to significantly accelerate that process. Penny wise, pound foolish kind of thing.

ClearOS is the rebranded "ClarkConnect" distro I believe. I'm not sure when the rebranding happened(10+ years ago?) anymore, but I was surprised to find out the project is still alive at all. I've only encountered 1 human who used the software in my life, and that encounter was 15+ years ago.

For history, it used to be an all-in-one network services distro. It handled your core network services like DHCP and VPNs - but also handled service-oriented daemons like FTP/SMTP.
To me, "only" and "complex" shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Big part of the job of a developer is to reduce complexity, and we barely do it (depending of the system). What is "barely perceptible" now can be "completely not practical" 2 years down the road.

Whenever I read of this particular language I think of all the other small dialects that could be considered separate languages but are not.
E.g. in the much smaller country of Denmark there are a lot of dialects that are not mutually intelligible. A person from the very north of Jutland would probably have a hard time understanding someone from the remote island of Bornholm.
There are dialects with two and three genders without considering these to be separate languages:
