I forgot one more thing: reading! Doom reads back VGA memory when painting invisible sprites (Spectres, player sprite with partial invisibility blur sphere), this is extremely slow because absolutely nobody optimized VGA cards for reading. Ram buffer removes this disadvantage.
Clinton's tax increase cost the Democrats the House in 1994.

Obama clearly did increase the deficit as national debt went from $10T to $19.5T during his tenure. In other words, the debt increased by nearly as much as every president prior to Obama. Of course, we seem to find ourselves on an irreversible debt slope that is
rapidly accelerating and I suspect that every future administration will outspend the one prior.

To their limited knowledge, it was indeed useless. Scientist can make such statements if they feel up to, but they must also have the humility to later eat their own words when they are proven wrong.
What do 'parts of Chicago' have to do with it? I'm lost on the relationship. Unless your point is that both are memes, as I was saying above somewhere.
Around here (Finland) there is a moderate amount of various cards in stock at the biggest computer retailers, the prices are just high:

But that's not the reason you gave for getting the Type 2!

My experience has been that companies regularly close deals by committing to get a Type 1, for what it's worth.
nim is good, and I was onboard when it was nimrod (liked that name better!). It's very good. Here's where my supposedly polyglot objectivity falls prey to subjective syntax like/dislike. I am not a fan of python's syntax, so nim resonated the same with me. I really love APL/J and Lisp. If Haskell had more uptake in the pragmatic world with a cohesive ecosystem, and more libraries, I would probably be all in. Nim has the ability to --gc:none, so maybe I should take a look again. I found a few libraries, but there didn't seem to be many in machine learning/optimization.

It's already possible to self organize car sharing, with a spiffy app, insurance rating systems and . But keeping the car in good shape and checking it, as well as the risk on non-availability (which might get better with a self-driving car, but no one wants to wait for the car to driver 30 minutes back) now make it an unattractive option compared to commercial car sharing.

At least here in the Region of Stuttgart, Germany b) and c) mostly don't apply (and I'm pretty certain they don't in most other parts of europe) and most issues with public transit here (limited core capacity leading to overcrowding, higher prices) similarly apply to cars and automated cars (with congestion and usually higher cost of ownership than public transit time cards) and can't be solved there either by an individual. The unique issues not common to other modes of transport are bad service in some parts, depending on the route a long duration compared to car travel and an aging infrastructure leading to a few issues (but due to be replaced in the near future™).

Most of those stem partially from chronic underinvestment with some rail connections closed in the 50s still not being reactivated. But unless a car isn't needed for the daily commute (due to public transit or more home office or active transportation) it's hard to imagine car sharing or self driving cars helping a lot.
No, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 has nothing to do with the budget. It has to do with paying debts and collecting taxes.

Article 1 Section 9 Clause 7 is closer. It says Congress has to pass an appropriation before spending money. That’s still not budgeting.

The 1921 Budget and Accounting Act says that the President has to submit a budget proposal. Congress modifies and passes it. The President signs that or there’s a continuing resolution.

No, Congress doesn’t control the budget, either Constitutionally or procedurally. The President proposes one and generally gets most of what they want.

In fact, Congress doesn’t even pass a budget. The President proposes a budget, required by law, and Congress passes appropriations bills, required by the Constitution.

I think the rich are a convenient scape goat for a mentally ill society that is destroying itself and wants to externalize blame.

This includes parents who fail to raise their children, neighbors and friends who ignore misery and addiction, and people who walk by and fail to lift a finger to help.

How many people in this thread do you think actually donate to a homeless non-profit instead of buying a latte. How many volunteer at a homeless shelter instead of watching Netflix?

People don't want to be part of the solution. They want someone else to be responsible, and someone else to blame.

It's called woke-ism. The new trend of corporate dumbing-down feel-good marketingspeak.
"Many countries see nuclear power as the only real opportunity, at least
in this century, to reduce the dependence of their economic
well-being on foreign oil-an energy source of uncertain
availability, growing price, and ultimate exhaustion. The
U.S., by contrast, has a major domestic energy source-
coal-but its use is not without penalties, and our plans
also call for the use of nuclear power as a share in our
energy production." Jimmy Carter April 7, 1977

Wouldn't exactly call that "killing off nuclear power" - Three Mile Island and the movie The China Syndrome did that. The movie was released ~2 weeks before the accident on March 28, 1979.

In theory. In practice rich people can jump ahead the line no matter what system. I.e. Steve Jobs and the liver that went to waste.
And Obama added $10T to that debt, borrowing more than nearly every president before him combined. Cherry picking is a terrible tactic.
First off, not a democrat. Secondly, Republicans concretely instrumented and benefited from the CRT media moral panic. Not "painting" anyone, simply stating facts.

To discuss this without mentioning the Global Financial crisis seems a bit disingenuous. I'm no fan of Obama but this is not a valid criticism, IMO.
I think they're trying to dissuade anyone from purchasing the cards from third parties to disincentivize future theft. They're a very appealing item to steal right now... small, hard to get, expensive, no real security in the supply chain (unlike trying to steal money or gold).

"Compositors are an optional component. I have never run one myself since they don't add anything of value. So any time someone says 'the X server only talks to the compositor' I'm like 'lol what compositor'."

Can't you see how this is self-fulfilling though? People don't use X compositors because they suck and cause issues, so then you have people saying they don't use it because it doesn't add value. Well, yeah, compositing in X is bad and really convoluted and causes issues because X is not built for that, that's why they had to make Wayland to fix it.

"copy/paste, drag+drop, hotkeys, notifications, etc., etc., etc."

The first two, yes, the rest of it not so much. The X server is quite bad when it comes to managing hotkeys or notifications or doing any of that stuff not related to window management and input, most of those uses have been replaced with D-Bus.

"A graphics-heavy X application actually tends to work very similarly to a Wayland application"

Yeah, using extensions that were made way after X was designed.

"See here http://wok.oblomov.eu/tecnologia/mixed-dpi-x11/ you can get information and handle it client side for maximum quality"

This article goes around every so often and every time it does, I have to point it out: Randr is not enough information to do mixed DPI. There is a reason the suggestions in that article have not been taken seriously. See this MR if you want more info on what actually needs to be done in the server to get this to work: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests...

It's for Xwayland but similar things need to be done if you want it to work correctly on the Xf86 hw. And also, you would still need a compositor for this.
D seems to have a lot of strengths as being less complex than C++, and I have heard great things about it. It seemed to be a better C++ rather than a low-level C. Is that mostly a true statement? Is Bartosz Milewski still a member of the design team?

I remember something similar happening at "AboveSecure", Abovenet's silly "super secure" vaulted datacenter in that downtown San Jose building that used to be the massive sports bar. The thing there was storage though, like 2 or 3 racks of EMC jbods. A datacenter tech thought they were legit and helped them get the kit on the truck.

> Calcineurin inhibitors and azathioprine have been linked with post-transplant malignancies and skin cancers in organ transplant recipients. Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) after kidney transplantation is common and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. The results of several studies suggest that calcineurin inhibitors have oncogenic properties mainly linked to the production of cytokines that promote tumor growth, metastasis and angiogenesis.

Because Bitcoin is mined on ASICs. It's not a graphics card, instead a single chip optimized for one function only: mining (by generating hashes).

GPU based mining is mostly done to mine Ether. Ether will switch to Proof of Stake somewhere in the next 1-2 years, after which the competition between gamers and miners for GPUs will end.
Assuming customers notice this quickly after buying (e.g. by trying to register their card within some short deadline, not sure what the policies are), they should be covered by buyer protection.
in Lua the emphasys is in the 'u', in Luau its in 'a'
If the company is willing to warrant the card for X years if you register it, then surely X years is the minimum bounds of a reasonable lifetime?

I wonder if anyone in a "reasonable lifetime" guaranteed by law jurisdiction has used that line of thinking.
Yeah you're right, it does depend where you are. I can only speak for US market.
All FAANG/MANGA are two years stints. Its a common experience but of course many people stay longer and are comfortable with that traditional view of being married to a corporation.

A) Netflix is an ideal first company in the Silicon Valley circuit because their compensation package is a simple formula of <every other FAANG’s compensation package but in all cash>, which makes negotiating the next place much easier because you’re more liquid already and already know what the total compensation should be - or would balk at any other base salary because the cash portion is so much lower, forcing companies to entire you with more shares than they were prepared to. And B) because you simply made enough money to attempt something else in your life.
Some of those were even formally recognized as revenue trading agreements to show growth.
Isn't that what eBay buyer protection is for? The difference between this and shipping a crate of rocks is that this is easier to prove.
I don’t think you have to ask the seller to confirm goods aren’t stolen to be protected under eBay’s policies. Listing stolen goods is a violation of eBay’s policies to begin with. eBay says that following their policies is one of their criteria for a seller meeting their obligations under the buyer protection.

For anyone that's curious about this, there's a fun 'medieval fiction' book set in a made-up universe called Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City by K.J. Parker that follows a military engineer during a siege:

> This is the story of Orhan, son of Siyyah Doctus Felix Praeclarissimus, and his history of the Great Siege, written down so that the deeds and sufferings of great men may never be forgotten.

> A siege is approaching, and the city has little time to prepare. The people have no food and no weapons, and the enemy has sworn to slaughter them all.

> To save the city will take a miracle, but what it has is Orhan. A colonel of engineers, Orhan has far more experience with bridge-building than battles, is a cheat and a liar, and has a serious problem with authority. He is, in other words, perfect for the job.

It's the first in a trilogy (third book scheduled for 2022).
On the contrary, plenty of tools need to move and chip otherwise they'll get dull, cutting speed is a function that increases a machines' longevity. But cutting speed does require a solid mechanical setup, drivers that can source some current and a drive train that does not suffer from over or undershoot ('slop').
They could have charged a review fee to have an appraiser visit & make accurate price estimates & then let the homeowner keep the Zillow certified valuation label if they don't sell it to Zillow.
I know, if I'd throw a stone right now, I might actually hit one.
> You ask seller to confirm the card is not stolen. If the seller lies to you

Do the platforms really expect you to ask the seller first? "Not stolen" seems to be kind of implied when buying products, like "not defective", "not smashed into small pieces", or "not actually a box of rocks".

> Decades later, we're still hearing "crypto is a bubble." I'm still waiting for that to be true.

Decades? With an S? It's barely been 10 years since Bitcoin's public release and that's ignoring the fact that it wasn't particularly popular (and nowhere near as valuable) for another couple of years. Other cryptocurrencies wouldn't come into their own for another couple of years after Bitcoin, either.

For reference, the dot-com bubble began roughly in 1995 and had popped by 2003. Crypto, especially with the fact that it picked up in value an incredible amount in 2020, is a prime candidate for being a bubble.

> I'm sorry there's demand for popular hardware. That's how markets work.

And the actual demand is being exacerbated by the somewhat artificial demand crypto creates. It also likely means that if crypto is a bubble and it pops, there's going to be a glut of pre-owned crypto-abused graphics cards flooding the market. All of this is definitely a knock-on effect of cryptocurrencies booming.

> The environmental claims are all FUD. None of them hold up to the slightest scrutiny.

Would you like to back this claim up with anything? The way proof-of-work crypto works demands computation, which demands power. Imagine if somebody did take this entire pallet of GPUs and start mining cryptocurrency with it; that'd be a pretty good amount of power consumption. Tack on the fact that there are multiple cryptocurrencies and a lot more than just a trailer full of GPUs working on mining them around the world, plus the fact that those GPUs are unlikely to be as efficient as the latest, and you've got a lot of power consumption.

Obviously, I'm not doing the math here, but just thinking about the (apparently hypothetical) power consumption of something like Etherium or Bitcoin is enough to raise red flags in my mind.
In what way is their mission occasionally murky?
