I want to get my job done! When I have had a drive fail in the past, I boot off my periodic clone drive and keep going. With the no external boot scenario, I have to keep a backup computer rather than a backup drive.

I don't travel constantly, just occasionally. I am typically close to my external clone. If I was going to be on extended travel, yes, I would bring the external clone SSD with me.

I'm the exact same way. No mind's eye, no constant internal monologue (or dialogue), mostly just calm and silence. I think I can sort of visualize voices and music, but clearly not as well as other seem to be able to.

I always thought people who hear entirely understandable voices were the mentally ill people you hear about in the news and in fiction, not for that to be the norm. I do wonder about the statistics on the "internal monologue". I think I saw some stats on aphantasia (not being able to picture things) but that didn't include the internal monologue.

All in all, while I think the capacity to actually visualize things would definitely be welcome, I think I'd go crazy with a constant internal monologue droning on in the background.
> Do people actually think in terms of complete sentences like you describe in this passage, or is there some nuance to the experience I’m not understanding?

I do full sentences when I’m thinking about how to handle a conversation.

I also do that. It’s situational, I guess. [I’m learning more about myself by questions like yours, so please keep asking :)]
How do you measure and calculate their success to compare against for instance Tse Chi Lop? Are there market size or valuation estimates?

Obviously they have sold drugs before, so a quantification exercise would be interesting.
I recently had to deal with the headaches of cookies and iframes. In my case, it was learning management software that used our external tool loaded in an iframe via LTI. I was specifically dealing with Safari but understood other browsers could become as strict as Safari for cookies in iframes.

After pursuing methods of getting user consent to use 3rd party cookies via the storage API, the end result was the user jumping through hoops by repeatedly clicking buttons to invoke user interaction in different contexts to eventually get a prompt to allow cookies. It did work, but there were strange bugs with it on mobile Safari... e.g., the prompt to allow cookies never appeared after clicking the button but after putting Safari in the background and going back to it, it did appear.

The UX of all this was pretty undesirable so we just gave up and had the tool open in a full window and wondered why we didn't think to do that from the beginning.
Is your argument here supposed to be "Nothing is all inclusive, therefore we shouldn't even bother trying"? If so, I'd argue that's a lot more ridiculous than a review process designed to help catch major inclusivity issues before they become problems.
If I take a box of old apple devices and accessories to the Apple Store from any point in the history of the company, they will put them through their own recycling program. A box of old PCs will go to my municipal e-waste program and end up in an incinerator (which is the best case scenario, but we know what happens to e-waste in a lot of jurisdictions).

That iPhone torturing robot [0] that they demoed a few years back may have seemed a bit silly, but I don't think any other electronics manufacturer is concerned about finding a const-effective way of separating the screws from other metals before recycling everything.

Tech N9ne doesn't have a label. Most of the music I listen to is independently released.

I like your point about reducing consolidation to increase variety in control and management. It’s an interesting point, but I’m not sure there’s any actual law they are breaking by just owning and running multiple businesses. I would have thought legally speaking they would need to perform some form of market abuse to justify enforcement. Yes there have been abuses and they should be held to account, but we have laws fur that already and breaking up companies doesn’t do anything to stop such abuses. Google and Facebook are separate businesses and the still colluded. It’s the abuse that’s illegal in such cases, not the ownership structure.

I dint see how you can split off Google search from advertising things. Would you split up a newspaper and the business function that sells ad space on it? How? I suppose ads do make it less useful, but honestly it’s still the best by far, even if some others are now mostly good enough.

I’m with you on preventing the buying and elimination of competitors, but there are already mechanisms to do that. All acquisitions have to go through regulatory review.
Radar does not penetrate through brine water. Other remote sensing techniques have such poor resolution that they are relatively useless for this task. Unfortunately, sonar based bathymetry is really the best tool for this task and that means you have to run around with a surface ship mapping out the sea. As you can imagine the Chinese are not a big fan of American ships doing that in waters that they claim to be theirs.
I don't think most people like windows. It is simply the only thing they are used to.
Based on my previous experience, many companies I worked for had the problem organizing recurring tasks around the office. For example, cleaning the coffee machine, making the morning coffee, or taking the dishes out of the dishwasher ..etc.

I built this app before COVID hits the world, and this let me down since many companies switched to remote work. Do you think we can pivot OfficeRoutine to adapt to the new norm? what do you think?
*million, not billion.
Sure, but that's not a reason to not even ask the question. Maybe not every DI initiative turns out to be helpful or productive, but as someone who's privileged on pretty much every axis there is, I'd be grateful for the kind of internal support system that could give me an early warning sign for "hey, this design decision that made sense to you and your team has the potential to alienate user base X and there's a real possibility that if we launch in this state it's going to explode into a minor Twitter scandal."
Im insanely skeptical about peoples self reports on this kind of thing. I suspect the vast majority of people have similar experiences visualizing an apple or thinking through a problem.
According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29087803 I have aphantasia, but I no trouble mentally rotating and flipping 3D objects - but I'm not rotating a image of the object, but more like concepts.

I'm not able to speak to your second point; prognostication is not my strength. I do note, though, that Morris and Dolmetsch share a contempt for the common man as he was, as opposed to as they thought he should be, that might help explain their anti-democratic tendencies. I think they also expected society to be transformed by a renewal of what they imagined were artists' and craftsmen's attitudes towards work and leisure, which they thought would make capitalism obsolete. They didn't imagine a political or violent revolution so much as a revolution in priorities.
I have been NURBS modelling professionally for a while, the way >4 sided curved surfaces are usually done is by bulding a <=4 sided surface and then intersecting it with another surface to trim a corners away. So techically most 5, 6 etc sided NURBS surfaces you see in the wild are just 4 sided surfaces with part of the surface hidden.
>My wife can see like full Technicolor motion pictures in her mind with special effects and superstar cameos.

Nah, it's not like that. When we imagine something it's not like we actually see those things like real visual stimuli. The experience is more abstract than that. There is a vague visual aspect to it, but it's not hi-def like real vision, just fragments appearing then disappearing in your mind.

So it's not at all like dreaming.

This is very interesting. I always thought I had an inner voice, but the experiences in this article are completely different than mine. It's just myself speaking to myself, there's never any preconception that it's someone else or a different voice. It's something that isn't present all the time—I can generally engage it when I want. Though, I notice when writing this that I'm dictating my writing non-vocally.
> Don't submarine use some form of radars to figure what's around then and where are they headed?

No. When submerged they rely on navigation charts (with higher than normal bathymetric details), passive sonar, and their navigation instruments. A submerged submarine blasting out active radar and sonar to determine its position wouldn't be very stealthy.

Not every part of every ocean has complete bathymetric details. Seamounts don't necessarily move but undersea volcanos can grow in size significantly in short periods of time. A change in a few meters height can make last year's chart inaccurate today.
It sure was, I have the ZuneHD still, it's still a beautiful device with an intuitive UI and nice clean software. Pity MS never figured out how to compete in marketing against existing sentiment and Apple (with their horribly clunky UI/Hardware and software of the iPod (which I had to support at work too)).
It's a pity my Zune is almost a brick now, there's nothing wrong with it (my daughter listens to music and plays games on it now).

If I could put an open source OS on it I'd still be using it (so long as I can sync it with Linux too..)

Again, please review the Kernel ABI knowledge base resource I provided, specifically the last two bullet points in the article.

If OpenZFS happens to work throughout an entire RHEL minor release and they are using non-kABI symbols (which they are), that is not ABI compatibility: that's _luck_. It is in no-way-shape-or-form any kind of ABI compatibility the way it is defined for RHEL. You can't call RHEL kABI/ABI compatibility something it's not, it has an explicit meaning and definition.

Per the GH issue you provided the project explicitly stated they did their best to reduce as much as possible their reliance on non-kABI symbols. This was accomplished through symbols being added to the RHEL stablelist and OpenZFS reducing the symbols they actually use. If they didn't have to use non-kABI symbols there wouldn't be a problem. I've had NVIDIA kmod's from ELRepo fail _multiple_ times in a single minor release because non-kABI symbols changed, not to mention between minor releases. This is still not an example of RHEL kABI/ABI breakage.
> I trace a spiral from the center counter clockwise, and if I still don’t have comprehension, I go back a couple paragraphs or try again the agonizing word by word way

Wow. What?
yes, note that nearly all of our thoughts are subvocal/subconscious. some folks have a more active and/or efficient surfacing mechanism than others though.

and a few folks have an overactive vocalization system where most of their subvocal thoughts actually come out of their mouths. i'm always partly fascinated by these folks (just walked past one today), since i tend to be relatively economical in my vocalized thoughts.
Just to add to what others said. If a submarines uses its sonar enemies can hear it. They can also save the subs unique signature and then use it later to identify it. You don’t want an enemy to know where and who you are.
Yes, water is a very excellent RF attenuator at all frequencies. Acoustic waves travel quite far in water, especially in the ~1 kHz range. Making loud sounds isn't something you want to do when you're somewhere you're not supposed to be though. If a mountain isn't making any noise then it's going to be difficult to know that it's there.
I used to have sleep paralysis a lot and during at least one episode I could hear, clear as day, a full orchestra playing in my head as if it was coming from somewhere in the house. And when I broke out of the sleep paralysis there was no sound at all.
Do you have a point? Linking to a story about an embedded system that experiences flash wearout is not really relevant here. You're trying to make a comparison against a far smaller and lower-quality storage module than typical consumer SSDs, subjected to a vastly different workload. There are no useful conclusions to draw about consumer PCs from that case.
As with perennial Hacker News favourite Aphantasia, the discussion does leave me with the distint impression that the spectrum of reported condition is more a function of our inability to convey and compare the inner experience, than of variation in the inner experience itself.
> Edge has built in support for vertical tabs, tab groups, and chrome extensions.

IMO Vivaldi's implementations of vertical tabs and tab groups is superior, but Edge is definitely a close second.
> for someone disciplined, taking a 30 year mortgage and paying it off like a 15 year mortgage with significant over payments is a good strategy.

This is the worst of both worlds. You pay the interest penalty of a 30 year, with the payment of a 15 year (well, slightly more). The interest difference between a 30 and 15 year mortgage is about 30% (2.x% v 3.x% APR).

I did a 15 year mortgage, then refinanced it every 12m or so ($250 each time), resetting the payments back to 180 months each time. That way, I get the interest savings of a 15 year, which is significant, and each refinance makes your payment quite a bit lower because a 15 year loan actually pays back principal. After six years, my mortgage will be the same as it would have been if I originally got a 30 year, but it will be paid off in 21 years instead of 30.

There's a risk interest rates rise, or I lose my job and can't refinance. But so far, so good. And honestly, my mortgage now is so close to what it would have been with an original 30 year loan that it doesn't even matter if I can never refinance. The hardest part was the first two years.
When I read normally, I hear it in real time. There’s a “default” voice, or I can make it a character voice at will. If I want to read a lot faster, I switch the voice off. I seldom do that.

Electromagnetic energy doesn't penetrate water, at least not enough of the right wavelengths to be useful for mapping. The US Navy and NOAA do sea floor mapping using sonar. But it's a big ocean and some areas haven't been covered very well.
And pointless. Meditating isn't any different from not meditating.
There is also aphantasia [0]: the inability to voluntarily create mental images in one's mind.

When people say to visualize or imagine something in their head, they actually mean that quite literally. These people can actually see visual images in their head.

My understanding is that some people are also unable to control it, so when you say something they immediately conjure an image.

In my case, I can take concepts and ideas and think about what it would be like to have that mental image, but I can't actually see it. It feels more like as if I were simulating having that mental image rather than actually having that mental image. I can add properties like sound or physics, but it has to be deliberate. My way of imagining things still lets me get easily lost in thoughts and daydreams though.

I can hold the concept of a ball or cat in my mind without instantiating. My ability to conjure mental images is limited though. For example: with a concept of Tony the Tiger, even if I instantiate it I couldn't tell you how many stripes he has.

When people talk about the heart or soul, they're referring to the "place" where their conscious experience happens. If you believe in dualism then it would distinguish between your soulspace and meatspace. If you don't believe in dualism then your soulspace is just a virtual space simulated within meatspace.

To be clear, there is nothing wrong with having political ideas behind what you do, at the end of the day Mastodon was created for political reasons, first, to support free software, second, to create a web alternative to the shitshow that twitter tends to be.

Having that said, enforcing the AGPL rules is an activity that should be done regardless of your political ideas, if someone is violating the AGPL3 the projects have every right to ask them to comply, especially when the offenders belong to powerfull corporate groups that do have the money and the resources.

Mastodon saying "we don't like them" is an expression of honesty IMO, but not the only reason to why they want to seek legal counseling.
I'm exactly the same as you. When I do have an inner voice it's essentially like talking to myself but without actually mouthing the words. But it's not present at all times, it's mostly there when I want it to. I can also create mental pictures in my head - but it's not like looking at actual pictures at all. I'm pretty convinced that it's possible that we actually all experience the same and just have difficulty explaining what our thinking experiences are like.
Does it make sense to serve a dataset without approval that it's inclusive enough? Yes, because that's typically how things in the world work.

That’s not what RTFM means and has never meant that. The definition is an angsty way to tell the inquirer to stop bothering whomever and go look it up. The number of sources is irrelevant.

If you’re going to go so far as to change Fuck to Fantastic, then Manual can be changed to Manuals.
> sonar based bathymetry is really the best tool for this task and that means you have to run around with a surface ship

Why can't it be done from a plane or satellite? I can imagine answers (e.g., sound doesn't travel as well through air), but does anyone know?

I'd be surprised if that stopped the US in this circumstance. They regularly conduct operations in the South China Sea.
How is touch typing (or lack of it) related to working in a home office?
Yeah, same here. My first reaction to GPs question is that there would be no debate. I dislike being stuck behind garbage trucks more than I dislike having to stop at stop signs (aka I dislike variability in my commute, so I'll take a slower, but more consistent route every time) so the choice would always be the route without the risk of frustration.
Maybe that CPU cooler wasn't really a CPU cooler after all, if it didn't have direct contact with the CPU.

Maybe the fan was more of a case fan and it simply ran air through the whole machine INCLUDING the CPU heatsink, which is AFAIK exactly how it worked.
Like others said, occluding the keyboard into VR is suprisingly capable, especially when combined with touch typing.

Also most CAD users would probably not want cludgy UI like VR has today, they want keyboard and mouse too.

I suggest looking at the demo/videos of Horizon Workspace (by meta). It works really well, although the resolution is too low for me tooday.

GA? Edge for Linux (version 97) still can't sign in to a corporate Office 365 account for sync. Personal accounts only.

I'm bewildered, as this functionality works on Mac and Windows, but somehow not on Linux. This is the one feature I actually need to start using Edge as my primary browser for work tasks. Until sync works with Azure AD, I'll have to continue using a separate instance of Chrome Beta/Dev that's tied to my corporate Google account.
This is kind of a big deal in the real estate sector. The only reason that Zillow would sell everything right now is if they believed that the carrying costs of the properties until they (eventually) sell would eat all of their profits. They must be seeing flashing red signs across the board that there's a slowdown in the market and that scenario is exactly what will play out if they don't exit quickly.

There's no way that OpenDoor doesn't follow them out the door here in the next couple of months. The business model is exactly the same. Anecdotally I haven't seen any reason to think OpenDoor is doing much better around here.

This coupled with the Fed tapering could cause the real estate market to cool pretty quickly.
