I did the same thing. I was a Mac user, then Apple went through that period of time where there were no good laptops. I eventually bought a Lenovo and used it with Linux. Honestly my daily experience was fine most of the time, but you have to constantly worry about battery life to get the most out of it.

I switched back to a Mac with an M1 Mac and the battery lasts for days. I almost never use it plugged in now. I can go many days with normal use, not even compromising to conserve battery. On linux you need to use PowerTop and tweak it to the performance/endurance ratio you want. You are constantly thinking about it. The new M1 Mac doesn't require those compromises or even the need to think about it.

Also i'll add that you can TOTALLY get by on Linux. Linux users are quick to offer solutions like:

- "run that windows program in WINE"

- "there's a Gnome extension that does that"

- "I found a binary on github that will do what you want"

- "all you have to do is make a script and it'll do the same thing"

- "use [FOSS Program] instead of [Evil Corporate Program I really want], it works basically the same"

- "the native version of that program doesn't exist on Linux, but you can use the web version which is basically the same"

But when I switched back to Mac I remembered how I didn't have to make compromises anymore. I could have the programs I wanted, without the weird open source versions that weren't quite as good. Programs just installed, I didn't need to compile them or get the right installers or anything like that. You don't get weird incompatibilities of certain programs and your WM. You didn't worry about battery life or drivers anymore. I didn't need to use web versions. Yes I had to re-purchase some license keys for many apps but this doesn't bother me. I don't mind paying for software that improves my quality of life.

This isn't to shit on Linux. I actually use Linux all day long for work, just ironically I am SSH'd in via my Mac. Linux makes a great server. Its also a Good desktop. But Mac makes a better desktop. Call me a fanboy or a sellout. But I the experience isn't as polished as Mac and in many ways not even as "polished" as Windows (and that was hard for me to type out). Also don't tell me I am too stupid for Linux or didn't give it a chance or didn't learn it enough to enjoy it. I have a RHCA and LPIC-2 certifications. I work in Linux via the terminal 8 hours a day. I know how linux works, but as a graphical system I really would rather have Mac.

However to be fair, I run Red Hat Enterprise Linux on my work computer and that is the closest Linux distro to the Windows/Mac world that you will find. Virtually everything works out of the box and is reliable. It is worth the license fee IMO. You still compromise on app selection, but it does solve many of the annoyances around drivers and compatibility that other distros suffer with. It is far harder to customize, but if you just want something that you can install and start using like you would with Windows, then RHEL is the solution.
you know that generator fuel consumption and dam water consumption is dependent on the load on the generator, right?

it's not like a generator burns 2gal/hr no matter the load. This is easily observable even (perhaps especially) on home generators - if you run it idle it might run for 12 hours and if you load it to maximum capacity it might be out of fuel in 2 hours. look at a product page for a generator and will probably be specified at a particular load level (50% load for example).

also if you keep pushing water through a dam at maximum rate even when the dam is under a light load, you'll overspeed the generator and blow it up. You have to have control gates to control the water flow.

basically, "how difficult" it is to spin the generator is determined by the electrical load (coupled through the magnetic field of the motor) and obviously you need more physical power to spin against a stronger field, which translates into more power/fuel.
Anybody remember ESDI drives ???.
Glad they only lasted a few years before the industry decided on IDE.
I suggest using Black Box Stocks system for a while to learn what works well for them. (They make a killing, but the main value for many members is in their Discord).
Having worked on too many large implementations and having some exposure to working with large government entities I immediately created a comical and painful scenario in my head that went like this: There were many elaborate meetings with key stakeholders that were to outline the need for security and to put forth a plan to identify and implement the requirements that meets all of their needs. Then due to those meetings another 50 meetings with government employees where held to debate what the settings should be. These meetings of course could not be held with the same group of people at the same location so much effort was put in to coordinating travel and availability of all the resources. As happens when you get that many people pulled into a project that they mostly don't give a sh*t about nothing gets done. Eventually everyone involved became frazzled when no consensus could be reached, so the grumpiest/most connected of those employees bullied everyone else into what was "their way" and so it was then done.
I don't think they actually have a choice though. In person jobs are available in specific locations

Maybe a possibility to view the 1y/1mo/1day chart of the underlying stock would be nice. A chart of the option itself would also be nice.
I'll add another wrinkle: I like content-creators that create for the love of doing it and not to try and turn it into a business.

When I follow a YouRuber (I'm borrowing that typo, I like it) and have seen them descend into the paid/promotional arena, I have been turned off and stopped subscribing to their channel.

Advertising tends to naturally weed out, for me, the ones who are not as passionate about what they do. Sorry if this model is counter to YT's business model.

Better: if you want to make a business out of it, sell plans like WoodenGears guy, or kits like Ben Eater.
Really good summary of a lot of details from the Russian language side of what happened with the module. Though the author seems to use a bunch of what appears to be poorly machine translated quotes.
This is what I read in this response: "Is it safe to visit Poland? I hear you could get struck by lightening over there."

Also, the idea that the current government is quietly accepting skinhead violence is preposterous.
Coming from a Mac, and the commercial software world; such as using software like Photoshop or Logic Pro instead of GIMP or Ardour - the polish, standardization and reliability are way, well; worth the damn money.

There is an age-old axiom that 'free isn't free', and Linux quite literally embodies everything about that for me.

When I can get native, commercial software for Linux; without interpreter layers such as WINE, I, along with the majority of the rest of computer users, will consider it. Until then, there are far too many compromises for me to consider it.

I would so much rather pay for a piece of software I rely on - especially every day - and get the support that comes with it to boot - than have it for free. And so do millions of others.
Have you ever set up a free slack community?

Because I haven't. It's a nightmare, you need custom software to even invite people.

Besides that, its severely limited. Discord has a real free model, slack does not.
(I know basically zero about city planning, although I have lived in cities for a decade)

The “roadway” itself is another fixed resource, I think? So, either the street gets a bike lane or another vehicle lane, but not both because there is only so much space between the two rows of buildings.
> Bolz-Weber reminds us that our job is neither to hold all the pain of the world, nor to fix all its ills, and not even to perform all the empathy. It’s sufficient and sane to conclude, as she does, that “it’s OK to do what is YOURS to do. Say what’s yours to say. Care about what’s yours to care about.”

When you're overloaded by the messes that the world is in, that's sanity-preserving.

(It can be sanity-preserving at work, too.)
I broadly agree with your comment but want to correct some misconceptions:

- If we're going to talk about benchmarks games I'd need to see evidence, it's hard to believe .NET can offer anything more performant than say Vert.x or Micronaut :-)

- Scala has type inference (not HM, but then again almost as good)

- Futures/async/await are ubiquitous in Scala, the standard library ships with a very reasonable implementation of Future, and there is no shortage of third-party async libraries/runtimes, even leaving aside Akka which has actually been ported to Akka.NET

- Scala has value types

- No compile-time generics but powerful equivalent capabilities like type classes

- Scala has tail (self-)recusion

- JVM has plenty of low-level performance tricks

- Scala is plenty close to the JVM, I don't know how it is with F# but I know for sure e.g. things like Scala lambdas map exactly 1-1 to JVM lambdas

- Not sure when C# got 'self-packaged bundle' capabilities but if we're talking about that kind of thing, there is GraalVM and you can compile Scala apps to native binaries (as long as they don't use runtime reflection and a couple of other restrictions).

Google Docs is missing some basic features that Word had in the 1990s, like the ability to define your own styles.
I would think that the blame for rising rents in Seattle might be more realistic to put on 600,000 people, many of them earning hundreds of thousands of dollars moving into the metro area over the past decade.

With a firehose of money sloshing around, of course rents are going to rise. You can be damn sure that I'm going to outbid any of the locals for my apartment. Rent is barely a blip on my budget.
Surely someone out there has a paper on comparative search engine results.
There's a shortage of bread. What's the solution?

> More bread baking. Higher bread taxes. Limit bread prices while the effects of all these magical new baking companies flocking to lower prices and higher taxes kick in.

Also, some will get cheap subsidised bread allotments, others won't get anything. And if you get an allotment of bread to feed 3 people but it's only you, there's no mechanism that redistributes the excess to those who need it most, despite massive scarcity.

And if you get a certain type of bread you like at a certain age, but your preferences change and it becomes bland, there's no mechanism for others who love your type of bread, to be incentivised to exchange your types.

e.g. my dad, who is in a rent-controlled apartment with 3 bedrooms in the capital city and has no mechanism or incentive to move out, despite not using the space, not wanting the space, and not wanting to live in such an in-demand area necessarily. Oh wait, I meant bread.

Rent control has 2nd order effects that can do a lot of harm. If rent-control was mixed with market based incentives and a limited time to the right to an apartment, it wouldn't be as bad. I'm not against rent-control per se, but as with all things, it must be balanced. Just adding more of it isn't a solution. And balancing existing rent-control rules with reasonable additional (market) incentives, would help.

For example, if cities allow an individual to live in a rent-controlled unit for 8 years, after which they must leave, that's better. The unit can then go to someone else, also rent-controlled. Instead, some people get a lifetime right, and others a lifetime waiting list. That's a fundamentally unfair use of public funds. It's not perfect (leaving a home has a chance of making it harder to stay connected to a local labour/social circle), but two people having each 8 years is clearly preferable to one having 16 and the other nothing.

Another example is if (such as in Germany I believe, if anyone can link an English source that'd be great) you have a system where your rent is controlled based on usage. e.g. suppose market rent is 1500 for a 3 bedroom, rent controlled it's 750 for a family of 3. The moment you live there alone it's no longer 750, but instead say 1000. That creates natural incentives to only renting a place that is necessary to fit your lifestyle. My dad for example would exchange his place with someone who lives with a family of 3 in a 1 or 2 bedroom home, because of this.
I don't know if this mattered, but there was still a lot of public housing being built in New York in the 1950s.

This and the GP's description of presenting data to executives reminded me strongly of the role of the Shakespearean clown/fool, like in King Lear. Someone with a licence to speak truth to the King/Queen, often in riddles they don't fully understand, wisely reminding them of the right or prudent option.
The investor can be the government imposing the rent control. It doesn't have to be a private investor
Maybe for replacing Word, not Excel. Google Sheets is handy for basic tasks among small/large groups. Get even a tiny bit "sophisticated" and it's all over.
Sounds like they don't want to base cost on actual driving ability so that they can keep using the models that make it seem like 7 years of increased rates are justified when it's pretty well known that reaction time peaks early in life - many professional F1 drivers go pro before age 20. Therefore, your program would call attention to the fact that young drivers with no accidents who are competent are heavily overpaying and they weren't interested because it would prove that they are discriminating against the young.
I see this type of explanation frequently, and it’s misleading.

QKD does roughly what Diffie-Hellman does. One way to look at Diffie-Hellman is that two parties have a public but tamper-proof communication channel: Alice and Bob can talk to each other, everyone can hear them, but no one can impersonate them. (This could be literal shouting in a crowded room, cryptography could be used to authenticate messages, etc.) Using Diffie-Hellman, Alice and Bob exchange secret shares over the public channel, derive a secret key, and, assuming no one has a mathematical breakthrough or a quantum computer, no one else knows the key.

With QKD, Alice and Bob have the same public channel, but they also have a quantum communication channel, e.g. a fiber. This quantum channel is assumed to be completely insecure. Using both channels together and some math, Alice and Bob derive a secret key. For their trouble, they have a stronger sort of security compared to Diffie-Hellman — they don’t need to trust that their attacker doesn’t have some kind of breakthrough. There is an information theoretic proof that the scheme is secure as long as everyone plays by the rules. (Playing by the rules means no side channel or glitch attacks. A classical glitch might involve putting a very high voltage onto someone’s network cable to cause their NIC to malfunction. A quantum glitch attack might involve shining an extremely bright light into the fiber to cause someone’s hardware to misbehave.)

This is all that QKD does. It’s not magic, and the tamper-proof classical channel is required.

If the "nothing is meaningful" stance makes you feel depressed, relax.

Absence of meaning does not mean absence of happiness.

I have not been invited to this world with any goal that I know of, and I consider I exist by pure luck, let's just make the most out of it now that I'm here. Life is absurd [1] and I'm okay with it.

Meaningless does not mean without values neither. I can only be happy if I act under the values I consider important.

This doesn't need more regulation. Just stop trusting professional reviewers who are not bound by the existing false advertising laws that the manufacturers/retails already are. If you want to know how something performs, read the specs published by the manufacturer. If they're too shy to say how slow it is, then there's a reason for that!
I used to work at a company where the janitor, by working hard, and being willing to step up to opportunities he was offered, became a shift supervisor. Not every company is like that, true, maybe almost none are, but it can happen. Reminds me of the concept "return on luck" to go along with "return on investment".
I would suggest getting Pinephone is you want to dip your toes in the water. They are much cheaper, and generally take about a month to get from pine64 directly.
Similarly I'd like to know where the one third of the world's population that use GSuite are.
> you can compile Scala apps to native binaries

I was actually rather disappointed after looking at Scala native. From what I gathered you can’t create libraries (shared or static) only direct executables.
yes that was 100% it! I use WSL to do web dev in a windows machine so I can use all my favourite tools. So no WSL2 for me (though that work around is worth a shot).

I'm not trying to convince someone who lacks the ability to be reasoned with.

At first it was that the disabled pretty much couldn't go out in public. That I showed an example of that being incorrect.

Then it was yeah, but that didn't apply to the common person. In fact I showed before the ADA, over half the disabled were employed (which typically, but not always, involves going in public at some point). And I pointed out after the ADA their employment (a key part of being integrated in public) went down.

No one refutes that fact either, but now it's merely I haven't "convinced" you. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. The ADA is completely unconvincing in terms of effectiveness in actually integrating the disabled in public; and the argument the disabled were pretty much not in public before the ADA is equally un"convincing."
A perfect Companion Cube.
Yes, you've pointed quite nicely to the kinds of arguments they make.

The don't hold up to the mildest scrutiny, but they seem to suffice for most of the indoctrinated or those who choose to look the other way.

What is particularly galling is to claim that on the basis of some ancient ancestral claim of dynastic emperorship, land X belonged to some supposed ancestors, and was lost for centuries, it is now somehow right to claim it again, as if it was legit to begin with...

anyway, thx for the thoughtful response
Yep, the USRP series is solid. National Instruments buying them was really smart.
That does seem better in the long run, especially if one has a very large disk drive. Until all packages are packaged up correctly, which could be many years from now. Something like AUR will be a necessity.
Yes, but by reducing the lawyer cost for the tenant to $0, the tenant is far more likely to initiate legal action, even for frivolous cases. The tenant can regularly use that as a threat.
>> No, it does not.

But is is acknowledged in the article linked here:

>> Specifically, antibodies elicited by the mRNA vaccine were more focused to the RBD compared to antibodies elicited by an infection, which more often targeted other portions of the spike protein. Importantly, the vaccine-elicited antibodies targeted a broader range of places on the RBD than those elicited by natural infection.

It does not follow that vaccination conveys better immunity than previous infection. Only better response to mutations in one area of the spike protein. Nothing else is being claimed in this paper.
It could do all the same stuff because it’s getting the unencrypted photo currently. So it seems therefore that this is being done to allow for full encryption or to have that database of hashes more restricted by how they’re slowly distributed. Why else?

I don’t think it’s splitting hairs — semantics matter. Scanning your system for illegal stuff has a very different connotation, and if you read the comments on HN, even in this more technical audience there’s a lot of confusion and incorrect understanding. People are still thinking this is being implemented outside of iCloud photos, for instance. Go read all the browse cache worries in comments.
I also moved away from Mac as main personal driver like the article writer but I moved to FreeBSD which has less corporate influence.

However the shadow side is much less hardware support. For me that worked out fine but it won't be for everyone.

One of the things I love is not being stuck with one company's choices anymore. I can decide when I want to install updates, not beg Microsoft not to reboot my computer. I can decide how I want the UI to function instead of Apple forcing their way on me. I'm not having to work around a bunch of tie-ins to cloud services which both MS and Apple do heavily. I don't have to go out of my way to block telemetry. My computer doesn't check if every app is approved by its vendor (Mac notarisation). I don't have my own computer spying on me.

It's a bit more work but it really makes me feel like my computer is my computer again. It's so worth it.
Uh, you can get them for free.

Great games. Recently - well a year ago - played through them with a friend coop.
No, but if I had a machine like that here I'd definitely give that a work out because this is an interesting question that I normally would not have considered.

That's a question worth settling, from memory the speed is not so much a function of the material as it is of the current density that you can achieve with the gear you have. Thousands of Amps will get you some pretty good speeds, on the order of a cubic cm of material removed per minute for a 25KW machine.

I also wonder what would happen if you tried to plasma cut it, that should work as well.

If there is one thing I really miss from life in Canada then it was the fully equipped machine shop, that was such a great thing to have. You could go from idea to a pretty decent physical implementation fast than you could have ever mail ordered the parts and there is so much satisfaction in working metal. The plasma torch I had there was a relatively small one (12 KW) but it still cut anything an everything I ever threw at it with pretty impressive speed. But I never tried it on Tungsten. Missed chance! I suspect it wouldn't work all that well because Tungsten isn't the best conductor and probably would backsplatter all over the place from the compressed air dispersing the metal that would melt rather than evaporate so you get a puddle rather than a stream of gas.
My family has a simple apartment in the outskirts of Tokyo, and we've occasionally toyed with the idea of renting it to foreigners for for cheapish (~$400/mo). If you don't go too crazy with fancy dining or anything like that, then I think living in Tokyo for ~$600 / mo isn't an insane proposition.

As of April 2021, the CDC "unvaccinated" definition includes people who are thirteen days after their second vaccine, https://www.cms.gov/files/document/qso-20-38-nh.pdf

> Fully vaccinated” refers to a person who is ≥2 weeks following receipt of the second dose in a 2-dose series, or ≥2 weeks following receipt of one dose of a single-dose vaccine. “Unvaccinated” refers to a person who does not fit the definition of “fully vaccinated,” including people whose vaccination status is not known
