How do I flag a drive as non removable?

This is from years back, but my experience is that running Windows from an external drive isn't really easy. I hardly use the OS any longer, but I'd like to keep it around on an external drive if possible.

Hey, it's nice to e-meet you! We use Universal Recommender altogether with SimilarProducts template in PIO for a while.

PIO is/was a great product, it's sad Apache decided to retire it.
Is it converted or designed like that? A lot of the new buildings I see are built from the ground up to be mixed use. One benefit I see is it helps cafes and such keep consistent customer numbers. Large blocks of office buildings have a lot of foot traffic during the week but become a ghost town during weekends. While large blocks of residential buildings do not have the same peak foot traffic to sustain a store.
Communists long for tyranny.
Yeah, if strict liability applied in such cases prosecutors and other parties would be a great deal more careful about what they dared assert.
It all depends on the amounts I would think. If you take several lower valued old wallets over a larger period of time, I would think you can rake a few million without anyone thinking twice about it. The problem with people trying to hide things is of course that they always get too greedy.

Just out of curiosity: What does Terraform provide when you already have Ansible running?
It is already "kicked in", and all figured in, is not saving us, and will not save us.
Why not produce zero carbon natural gas at the sewage plant and municipal dump instead of banning the best method of cooking? Seems like the easy route of passing restrictive laws instead of a real solution.
I see in the photo that the guy wears a tshirt, but only long sleeves and trousers are allowed. In fact I visited Chornohbyl in a heatwave and I would give my life to the gods of radiation to be allowed a tshirt.

Jokes aside went near the red forrest and all geiger meters freaked out at a wind change. So I guess being on foot, away from the north side should be ok for a hiking.

The forrests where are very "unclean" to walk through them. Suppposedly no one picked dropped branches for firewood and hiking in the open steppe looking area not that interesting.

Also you are not allowed anymore inside the buildings but the guides cannot really control that.
Honest question: is anyone addressing the fact that cattle size in Europe hasn't changed much in the last 100 years while it has skyrocketed in e.g. South America? Isn't that a bit worrying? Are they overproducing? Or am I missing something glaring?
Has there been a time in history where web browsing was lighter than text editing, ever?
I recently read that ancient Viking society’s focus on raiding and pillaging eventually produced a caste of incel males who were not strong enough to come back without any spoils from battle and thus were never considered attractive by both men and women. Is that what happened to you? What’s your excuse?
Just as an example, here's a video of a field full of rocks in New England being prepped for planting.[1]

Farming is not just planting and harvesting. There's tilling and plowing. Both of which are hard to do well in poor soils and need power to drive steel through soil. Mules and oxen just don't put out that much power. Humans even less.

This.

I think the main advantage with macOS is that it's above all else a system designed to be used interactively, as opposed to a server, so they don't have to put out a configuration "good enough for most things".

I also run Linux with a tiling window manager on an old machine (3rd gen i7), and it flies. One thing that made a huge difference in perceived latency for me was switching the generic kernel with one having Con Kolivas' patch set [0].

I'm using Arch and sign my own EFI binaries, so I don't care about out of tree patches, but for Ubuntu users and similar who don't want to mess with this, there's an official `linux-lowlatency` package which helps [1].

One of the worst data losses of photos I had was when apple switched from iPhoto (which I'd organized meticulously) to Photos.
It wasn't until a few hard drive crashes later did I realize how poorly Photos imported the pictures. I found old iPhoto data files on an old Time Machine backup and was able to restore some, but anything that was linked was long gone.
So most of the digital photos from my 20's are gone.
Agreed. I don't think Apple is intending to be malevolent here, but this is pain for people like myself who value the ability to create bootable clones on external media. This has always been an area where the Mac excelled, but it looks like those days are over.

As a general rule, I'd expect Rust stuff to use less CPU (as the grandparent comment mentioned, it's optimized with LLVM) and less RAM (no GC). If that's a big win or not depends a lot on what your CLI application is doing. I'm a big fan of Rust but if Go does what you want, great. Go's a simpler language with a more mature/stable ecosystem and much more straightforward async code.

Rust of course has generics too, so I find it easier to use the right data structure for the problem (eg btrees) without dropping to interface{}. But it seems like the Go team is getting serious about adding generics so this advantage may be temporary.
Kind of like what Android does already?
And, more importantly, not going to change anything. Good luck to the next guy.

Yes of course technically anyone can fake anything including hard copies. In practice, once you have to go up against your carrier, having a recording stating an actual employee number with a voice that matches the CSR that your account file says you spoke to will be good enough. Don’t be so pedantic.

XML didn't work as a data interchange. JSON and YAML (and TOML etc etc) beat it handily.

XHTML was a failure, rejected and ditched.

So if it lost data interchange and layout/interface specification... what is XML's relevancy (not counting legacy interaction/systems)?
> Wayland has been around for what, 12 years now? It's still a disaster.

Define disaster. Because it's been working fine on my machine under Gnome 3 for years now and now that we have PipeWire that includes everything we could do before working in a nicer way.

I don't know why people comment under post about abandoned very technical library like if they were in any way significant.

Wayland just works. Just install Fedora or Ubuntu. It ships by default.

Having been falsely subjected to criminal charges myself I don't really agree. Having your pizza arrive late and cold is 'less than stellar'. Being jailed is a whole different experience, and though it was not for very long and the charged were ultimately dismissed I count myself very lucky for having had the support and resources I did. Many others are less fortunate and suffer far more.

Wow this is crazy. In India, operators have no incentive in what handset their customer uses so they cannot interfer with user's choices.

Besides, they can't disable 3G/2G because of the sheer amount of people who still use these networks from villages.
Israeli government policy. Hence the armoured bulldozers. In that case it's more of a scorched earth policy.

In The Netherlands, in schools 23-ring-binders are quite heavily used. In office environments it is mostly 2- or 4. The nice thing is that they are compatible: if you have 23-ring-paper or 4-ring it will fit in 2 or 4 ring binders. This does not work the other way around for obvious reasons.
Woks are not commonplace in probably at least half of Asia, but your point otherwise stands given the popularity of wok-using cuisines alone.
Well, there are common components, it's just that there are multiple standards (Qt, GTK, wx, etc)...

I'm using a tiling window manager with mostly GTK apps, so pretty much all menus and such look the same. The worst offenders are Firefox and IntelliJ, although they have improved a bit lately.

However, I'm not sure that this is the reason for lack of adoption. Windows has always been a patchwork of interface design, every other app having their own special window decorations and behavior, including MS' own apps (thinking of Office in particular). Also, seemingly similar elements, such as text inputs, behave differently in different places. For example ctrl-backspace sometimes deletes the previous word, sometimes it introduces random characters.
cool idea!

have you thought about using the ast representation to regenerate "canonicalized" versions of the source files upon which you can then represent the diffs (and context)?
"Hmmm, seems like a lot of people involved in this case should be fired,"

Perhaps, or a culture should be created where there should be no fear of negative repercussions for taking ownership of something? Seems like a typical organizational thing where responsibilities are not clear and people are afraid to take it.

Edit, not saying this is not unforgivable. Just saying a critical look at the organizational level would be good.

So basically you're intentionally not sharing "silver linings" about global warming because you feel like people won't understand.

Is there anything else you're intentionally keeping quiet about?

That is going to backfire terribly on you. The only thing worse than sharing information that you deem "unhelpful" is being caught hiding it.
Not so great reviews of the book https://www.amazon.com/Software-Design-Decoded-Experts-Think...
I don't know how many application developers resort to manually generating the assembly, so not sure how that lesson can be gleaned out from the quoted passage.
Look at the last illustration in that article.

Can you see how the red outline of the opponent appears while they're obscured behind the pillar?

When that red outline appears it's showing that the opponent is now being rendered, and that the z-buffer is being used to obscure them from behind the pillar.

This discussion is about how to make the red outline not appear until the opponent is actually visible.

The article goes into lots of ways to make the red outline appear later, but it still appears before the opponent is actually visible on screen.

That's the issue that people want to solve.

Consider an example of an opponent with just one pixel of their gun visible around a corner. How do you send that information to the client without telling them there's an opponent there, so that the user has to actually see the pixel? You'd have to just send that one pixel, right? Now we're talking about rendering server-side!
I don't know if you've ever benchmarked BER and CBOR implementations, but I have, and they're astoundingly shitty at serializing and deserializing faster, even when compared against things like JSON. They do usually beat LZW though.
A bounding-box is something we'd call an over approximation.

Using an over-approximation causes the opponent's location to be revealed to the client even when the opponent isn't quite on screen yet, requiring the client to be trusted to not show this information early, which is what people in this thread want to avoid.

That's the whole point of the discussion.

This is what the article is showing - can you see how the red outline of opponents appears early, and how the client is being relied upon to hide them until they're actually visible? That's what people don't want.
The unresponsiveness of controls drive me nuts as well. Greasy or wet fingers makes it hard to use the controls. This is solvable with physical knobs.

Also the power moves up and down in steps, induction alternates between on and off to deliver an average amount of power. With gas knobs you have more fine grained control. When you want to fry something, with induction you often have 2 power options: the “fry, cook, fry, cook” option and the “fry just a bit too hard” option. I have debuyer pans, made of thick metal, acting as a buffer, which helps a bit.

Stepless controll, with physical knobs would help a lot.

Induction stoves are great for cooking water though. And for cleaning.

I think the problem is too many people benefit from the shortage of residential space. It would only become feasible to convert these if all the right people could be arranged to benefit. Since many in city government already are involved in residential real estate, as are many of their friends and families, why should they facilitate a large sudden increase in housing stock?

Modern Node is easy to write 100% synchronously using either async/await or the "___Sync()" version of standard library methods.

If you want truly synchronous Node, I'd suggest just switching entirely to C#. It's honestly a lot easier to write and deploy anyway.
It's highly dependent on the country you're at. I see people on r/thinkpad get new high-end ones discounted, the kind of discounts that you can't get in France.

What you can find in France is heavily discounted ones from people that resell their company-provided ones. I bought 3 T460 like that in the past, for me and my family. But no high-end models, nor much choice in the customization.
I don't think Iran is that big into crypto. If it were the clampdown would come sooner.

Delays in construction are also waste but not so visceral or visible. It might have turned out that it was cheaper to destroy them than have them salvaged, including the labor cost of managing the salvage.
For small kitchens I can definitely see your point.
They led me to go read the books, the metro series of books is great if you like post-apoc. And if you enjoy them, try the Night Watch/World of Watches series. It's supernatural, focused on a quasi-governmental department that keeps the peace between the light and the dark magic communities, very gritty. The Nightwatch/Daywatch films are really good too, such a shame they never made the third.

There's a certain mind set in all of the Russian literature I've read that I find extremely appealing. I haven't read that much, but found that same mindset even in the older stuff like War and Peace, or Master and Margarita.

Strongly disagree with this. Straws have a benefit over picking up a cup and sipping. A sip takes extra time and effort. If you have a lot of ice in the cup, it could get in the way of a sip. More importantly, straws can reduce spills, and make it more convenient to drink when your hands are busy or when you need to focus attention elsewhere.

TLDR: There's no way people are giving up straws in movie theaters.
People also eat meat because they can't afford better meal.

> They decided to do that because the drag-and-drop editor was unfit for purpose.

Unfit for their purpose - it probably satisfied the purpose that BANCStar was selling it for.

It sounds like they just realised that this feature of BANCStar would let them inject their own arbitrary code to allow deeper modification of the system than what was intended, which was not within the scope of the original feature.
It's not usually this slow. I suspect the sluggishness is due to issues on the hosting end related to the spike in traffic. That said, I'm hoping by refactoring the code I can improve performance. Loading spinners is a good idea.

Thanks so much for trying it out and giving your suggestions!
If you sell it in accordance to your state regulations, I guess there will be no problem.

Isn't that basically the same as selling weapons?

(I would appreciate if no worker of the rank would accept to collaborate with manufacturing any form of weapons, but we are well past the point where lay people make their own mind about these things)
Google says there's 3+ trillion trees. Half as many as when humans came on the scene, but more than 100 years ago, so that's a positive trend on the environmental front.
None of our formal systems “accurately describe the design”. They all have domains of applicability - operational parameters.

The appeal of the simulation hypothesis is that IF our formalisms could actually explain all of reality THEN it follows by logical implication that reality can be simulated.

This logical implication is true because formal languages are Turing-recognizable. You can “explain” a formalism to a computer. You can program the computer with the Theory of Everything therefore universe can be run on a computer.

This is ALL in the abstract.
Unfortunately humans have the propensity to commit the mind-projection fallacy.

Do you carry 3 fire extinguishers on your hip?

Or do you have them nearby and reasonably available to you for rare times that you do need them?
I found that quite impressive.

Yes, I think you are right. The update locks the row containing the last id, and concurrent transactions block if they too need to grab the lock.

(so performance wise, a sequence is still better due to less locking, but if you can't have holes it seems fine)

Yep, the touchbar is pretty horrid. It's my personal decision point for the question "linux or mac?" If Apple fails to provide a pro model without the touchbar, my next laptop will be Linux.
krishna shenoy has some nice papers that apply information theory to bmis (albeit fused to a T9 style text entry task). either way, they attempt to quantify, in bits, the bitrate of the bmi. (which was, back then, quite low... a few bps)

i think it gets rather muddy as there isn't really a good metric for raw signal quality (afaik). there's cell tuning and number of spiking channels, but still not a great measure of snr for bmi work (afaik). often times people will apply measures to the outputs of their systems, like task performance, but part of the problem there is that often the state model has varying quality and suitability to task, so it can be difficult to disambiguate signal quality from state model performance.

(of course, in speech recognition they don't care, the game is to minimize WER and maximize decoding speed and whether language or acoustics (at least when they were separate) get you there, it doesn't matter)
Maybe also to prevent the equipment from falling into corrupt hands again.
> the highest fine ever, at €50 million

Which would a substansive (or even excessive) fine for a typical individual person or small business. For a multi-billion-dollar corporation, it's a operating expense.

The point of fines is to be too large to be operating expenses.
Interesting concept - and maybe it would work for some - but I find it completely intuitive that if I want to switch tabs (whether it be new url or a tab or where I keep my bookmarks) they are all pretty much in the same space.

There are also plenty of physical notebooks that have those tabs on the top. I believe the reason they are popular on the sides is that on an 8.5 x 11 is more space on the side than the top. For a computer screen, that is not the case.
Not really, with ads the price has changed, you just pay with your eyeball/brain time. From videos starting instantly, to waiting twice for 8-seconds pre-roll (minimum). Or you can pay $12€ / month.
It's a fight we are only ever gonna lose.

I.e. in Germany, I have seen wave after wave of surveillance passed. People try to fight back each time. Often the supreme court cancels the unconstitutional laws.

But they always try again. And it only takes a football euro cup or Worldcup, or Olympic games or a natural catastrophy to provide the distraction for the public to pass another law.

Our governments want to surveil us, and they will do it whether we like it or not.

People only stand up and fight if the damage if the fight is smaller than the damage of what they are fighting against. We live comfortable, so we will take a lot of this type of immoral behaviour of our leaders. The figth will only start after enough innocent surveillance victims are harmed in the real world (i.e. their data is leaked or worse) and enough people have felt negative consequences of this surveillance.
