All the mainstream reputable news organizations use stock photography extensively, so the public is generally willing to accept that the photograph attached to the headline needn't have anything to do with that headline.

Personally, I think this practice should be ended or at least decreased greatly. An article about a ship doesn't a stock photograph of a ship. It probably doesn't even need a photograph about the particular ship the article is discussing, unless there is something visually unusual or notable about that ship. The formula "Ship A is late to port, here is a stock photo of Ship B" is basically worthless. I guess they're tossing a bone to the borderline illiterate who are stuck at the "I can read picture books" level of literacy? But generally articles themselves are written at a higher 'reading level' than that.

Thank you for writing up a clear headed response. I had started to write a response to the comment, but decided I didn't know a way to phrase it in a way that would be constructive and decided not to submit.
It isn't nitpicking, its just regular old helpful. Like, I want to see where you are coming from, but I'm actually kind of stuck on this. How is it nitpicking? Where I'm coming from is the expectation that a citation includes the year of publication.
True, although every time I've tried it out its been fairly garbagey so I never considered it seriously. Its been at least 2 years though, I'll try it again.

Mistake number one. The only things you should be saying to a cop are "lawyer" and "". They ask if they can search your vehicle? The answer is no, always, on principle.

I would really like to see some statistically valid results of the various responses.
In an ideal frictionless encounter between air particle and turbine blade, the particle loses some kinetic energy and the blade gains the same kinetic energy.

In a real encounter with friction, some of the KE is lost to heat.

The initial source of the particle's KE was heat from the Sun causing weather. So the net energy is constant, the local temperature is higher because the blade has heated up at the cost of the air particle's motion, but overall temperature is the same because more heat from the sun will be needed to restore the air particle's motion that was lost to friction. It all balances out in the end.

The fact that the total energy is the same doesn't necessarily mean it's okay. Hypothetically if wind turbines set up a gradient so that the first few meters of atmosphere become hotter and the rest of the atmosphere becomes colder, total energy is conserved, but it's not a desirable outcome. But I don't know if humans can build enough wind turbines to make that possible; the Earth is very big and the atmosphere has a lot of mass.

That is true in theory. In practice, when using the motor as a generator, the operating conditions are different, and so are the efficiencies. The load side is also different, the motor controller will not act the same way as the inertia of the car.

For example, even the simple inductance and resistance of the motor means that at the same speed and at the same load angle you will see a lower voltage at the poles of the motor when acting as a generator. When your motor has high efficiency, these differences can lead to a large absolute difference when running as a generator.

It could attract more developers.

Better than "written in C++" and it kind of implies the code base may be fresh than inheriting some old implementations from a decade ago.
The problem with that is that you can't pin it on any single entity and many of the guilty parties are governments, e.g. Saudi Arabia, any state-owned oil company, US government subsidies for oil companies, zoning regulations that induce people to drive cars because it's illegal to build enough housing near the jobs etc.

> The Deployment manager templates under CFT for GCP specifically state they recommend the Terraform modules.

So, "It's listed as the recommended tool for GCP" means "it's the recommended tool for any cloud provider" ???????????????

Both Azure and AWS maintain and promote their own resource provisioning systems. Also you just totally ignored the GCP Deployment manager templates listed on the same page. Meaning, Terraform is _an option_.

> It doesn't mean that it isn't. You act like only employees can write valuable code with sound quality, when in fact the opposite could be true and often is.

The average quality of an internal employee will be higher than the average quality of a random person submitting PRs, because you'd fire your employees if they weren't. This is common sense.

> The concept of a cloud provider is not anything unique. Hence why there are so many of them implementing their own API. Cloud providers budgets are heavily skewed to marketing, because if everyone could get the rates available through OVH, Hetzner, etc while still getting the same features through their own 3+node zero-config cluster then no one would pay the outrageous prices of AWS, Azure, etc.

The concept of a paid service isn't unique. Adding features to a paid service to increase users' engagement and/or acceptable price is normal and good. Again, common sense.
Maybe a bit off topic, but is Mixmaster/Mixminion still a viable option? I can still remember playing around with Mixmaster many years ago but mail delivery was not 100% reliable.
It’s been awhile since I’ve worked in the frontend space, but even 5 or 6 years ago if you were using a pretty popular hosted CDN of JQuery with a pretty recent version there was a pretty good chance it was already cached on the end user’s device when they hit your site. There’s always a lot of talk about Jquery’s size but I wonder how many users don’t even notice because they’ve already got it on their system.

There’s also of course the added cost of executing the library on the site but I’m guessing V8 and other JS engines have optimized the hell out of that too as to make it pretty negligible in terms of time difference.
I don't understand why spammers can't be fully stopped via built-in methods that prevent say, mass emails to more than a certain number of independent contacts upon account creation, for the first month maybe of service.

Why give up on this point? There's nothing that says true anonymity has to lead to spam. Spammers have the limit that they have to spam to , presumably make money, since they go via the 1000 tries and only needing one hit to win. They have a weakness. users and activists dont have this weakness really.
For keeping things from falling through, you need to project the movement vector onto the plane. That means sqrt of magnitude and dot product. If you keep doing that every frame, a lot of tiny and otherwise insignificant floating point errors are going to sum up.

The correct approach is to not model the floor as thin sheet geometry but instead to model it as solid objects, e.g. the CSG approach used in Quake, Half-Life 1 and Unreal 1 & 2. I believe those games didn't have any falling through bugs.
age has been an alternative plugin to gpg for transparent file encryption and decryption for the chezmoi dotfile manager for a couple of years now. age's CLI is so much nicer and easier to integrate than gpg's. Now with the Go API being stable, I can also bake high-quality modern encryption straight into the binary. Much appreciated.

Well… the developers are self described students of the ages of 17 to 19.

Making a project just to learn is par per course. Chat… especially non federated chat isn’t really that hard to implement as a protocol. It’s the UX that’s hard to nail down, and if they can get it right it won’t matter if Matrix existed first.
However, one does not conclude from the other as is insinuated in the comment.
In the US, that doesn't mean anything legally speaking. They might know then that this means you have a lot of cash on you, but that's not probably cause for a search. They still have to get permission or a warrant to search.
> But if the vendors really would just sort of fix their old mobile browser, you would still be stuck with a old browser unable to interact with the modern web.

This is a non-problem nowadays. We have long left the times in which browsers received essential features every few weeks. Using a browser with a feature set from five years ago you can still use all the most-visited websites perfectly fine. At the worst you're unable to use small, non-essential features of some sites. Maybe some ads look less fancy ;-)

Your problem today as a browser user is security against zero-interaction exploits, not missing out on some obscure brand-new CSS features. Security updates are thus what you need first and foremost.
Hi tjdevries, I have been thinking about switching to neovim from vim.

Do you have any advice/reference for setting up Latex Synctex (Forward and Backwards search) for neovim and evince (on Linux)?

From looking online there seem to be several possible approaches for doing this in neovim (currently in Vim I use an adapted version of evince_dbus.py from the latex gedit latex plugin but it was a pain to get set up!)

Here's a "win-win" scheme which benefits both consumers as well as manufacturers/retailers without running up the costs for either: mandate the release of a device tree for all devices at least a year before the last vendor-supplied update so the users can migrate to any AOSP-derived distribution - LineageOS being the most well-known. The device tree should be complete, i.e. it needs to contain any needed drivers in either source (preferable) or blob form so the device will continue to be fully functional when used with a third-party distribution. Doing this will drastically increase the useable life span of devices by mostly removing software obsolescence as a factor. Hardware will still age, performance will eventually lag too far behind current devices but seeing as how I'm using several devices from around 2010 (Motorola Defy/Defy+) for specific tasks those 7 years can easily be extended without any additional cost to either vendor or consumer.

podman-compose is sadly not as good docker-compose. It simply converts compose yaml files into podman commands.

As an alternative, as of podman v3 (rootfull) and v3.2 (rootless) podman has an optional podman socket you can enable. The API is docker compatible, thus allows for full docker-compose support, and will take any other application that interacts with the docker api directly.

They're free to purchase second-hand phones, if they want to buy an even cheaper device. When most phones are supported for 7 years instead of 2-3, the market of second-hand phones that are still supported will expand greatly.
Because most free wiki software is kind of bland and terrible. Don't get me wrong, they are amazing for what they are but they don't scream "professional".

But actually that's not the key point. Nobody buys just Confluence. That would be silly. A bland and terrible (but free) wiki software is definitely better than Confluence.

People buy JIRA. And then you've bought into the Atlassian ecosystem, and you want the nice tight integration with your wiki software
That article is a pretty misleading summary of the situation, IMO. Keith’s paper does demonstrate very localized effects that people living near wind farms might care about, but does not show any significant or even measurable global effects, nor does it actually represent serious negative concerns about wind power in general, especially in relation to coal.

It’s not possible to release data in all circumstances. If you work with health data (I have worked with birth certificates, EMRs, inpatient discharge abstracts, drug prescription histories and other data) you can’t post it publicly. You have to promise not to include a table in the paper with a cell size of fewer than ten individuals!

For what it’s worth, the Trump administration attempted to make issuing new health and environmental regs harder by requiring public data disclosure. They did this entirely because they knew that much of the data could not be disclosed. So if you were studying, eg, the effects of some pollutant on a health outcome using private data, you wouldn’t be able to rely on that study in a regulatory context bc the data could not be published.

It’s a worthy idea, but there are exceptions for good reasons.
> the UI is very subtly different to Discord?

I use Discord and Element/Matrix exclusively, and have groups of friends that use both. They always gravitate towards Discord for voice. I think there's a couple small reasons that kind of add up

1. When there's an active call going, you can't see who's in it unless you join. It's just this ominous box with some unknown number of participants, and it creates this feeling of "should I join them? Am I interrupting? What's going on in there?". In discord, being able to see who's in a room and even who's talking goes a long way in removing that little anxiety.

2. As others have said, having the voice channels listed as their own room, showing the current participants, that you just one-click-to-join feels different. For whatever reason it feels less like you're joining a conference call and more like you're just popping in and out. I can't fully explain why, but it does.

3. The jisti widget is pretty janky. It doesn't really size correctly, the text overflows, and it general it just doesn't feel native.

I've been using, self hosting, developing for and prosthelytizing Matrix for many years now. It started out rough, has steadily gotten better, and now I think in many ways surpasses other chat services. But the voice just doesn't quite do it.
Which self hosting instance would go at the size of Facebook or Discord?
Just because Discord took a method doesn't mean a competing product should too.

There is only one road and it does not continue past a certain point.

Progress toward that point needs to be arrested or reversed judiciously, with rest stops along the way being some of the most useful.

Sometimes it can be worthwhile to point out that after WWII peace had been achieved but there were only three types of people in the world remaining.

Those that won WWII, Those that lost WWII, and those that were saved by the ones that won WWII.

Everyone else was killed.

That's what made it a world war.

Everyone living is descended from only these three types, spawned for better or worse out of their hard-won environment of unprecedented world peace.

Anyone dissatisfied with this, the only way they can change it is to start WWIII.

Got any ideas if there might be somebody willing to take us further down that road anytime soon?

Scenario:

- you have a 1m thick floor in your video game.

- your video game has physics in it (like gravity, collisions, etc).

- your game runs at 60 fps

Given these assumptions, if any in-game object ever exceeds a velocity 60 m/s then on one frame it will be above the floor and on the next frame it will be below the floor without ever triggering a collision. Oops.

Let me guess: "Just make the floor infinitely thick". Sure that would work but it sort of limits the kinds of maps and terrain you can make if the floor is always infinitely thick.

One way to solve it without infinitely thick floors is to draw an imaginary line between your current position and previous position every frame and check if the line would have collided with anything . If it does - do something (make the player die, move them back above the floor, etc.). It gets more complex when it's not just the floor you have to worry about clipping through but the wall and the ceiling and all other objects.
That's such a lovely idea. Reminds me of a game made by one of my friends: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1-chance/id1529736678

Why do people say "on-premise" instead of "on-premises"?

Here follows the definitions I am familiar with:

"premise" - a house or building, together with its land and outbuildings, occupied by a business or considered in an official context.

"premise" - a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion.
