I've seen Poison Ivy do this, at Cleburne State Park (TX), Cedar Lake.

Nestled among a beautiful bunch of cedar trees is a nice spot for a picnic. You notice that one tree stands out with broad leaves, but it doesn't look like an oak. You then notice the very distinct cedar bark. It was wild.
I honestly can't keep track anymore. I've used plex for a number of years and it's "fine" but they keep spending time developing things I don't want and ignoring things the community would like in an effort to "go commercial" and "legitimatize".

I want a media center that can do these things:

- access from phone or tablet: remote is nice to have, but on my own network is a must

- can chromecast everything

- can scrape metadata reliably (I don't mind fixing a few things here and there)

- supports movies, tv shows, random videos

- automatic subtitle downloading

- supports music formats, podcasts, and audio books and understands they are different things, and can grab them as needed

- supports not only mp3s, oggs, etc. for music, but supports stuff their underlying media libraries already support like amiga mod, chiptune formats etc. (a major gripe of mine with plex). right now I need to convert to mp3 for this need, but the media libraries plex uses already supports these formats, it's just the damn gui and library indexing bits don't

- support for photo libraries

- ebooks, pdfs, cbz, cbr, etc. (I need extra apps for this)

- emulator support would be a super sweet stretch goal

- has smart tv apps would be also great, but chromecast support is fine

Does Kodi, emby, jellyfin, whatever support all this?
Oh yeah, I had a whole c-rat can of pound cake once and it took me a week to eat. I kept it in a garbage bag in the fridge since I didn’t have a ziploc that big.

PA mostly works, nowadays. It still spontaneously gets muted, once in a long while, but if I pop up enough different volume controls, I have always found a button to unmute it.
Flashfxp was able to set up transfers between ftp sites, so you could transfer a file from A to B at 100 mbit/s from your 1.1/2.2 Adsl connection C.

I recall it also had a decent queue and resume.

There was also a terminal ftp client that supported the server to server transfers, but I can’t remember the name.
In addition to the sibling comments, I'd point out that the article is sort of an extended riff on the phrase, "There is no such thing as a fish," which was a sloppy QI paraphrase [0][1] of a principle elucidated by the 20th century paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, and later became the title of QI's well-known podcast [2]. And of course, fish do exist, just not in the simplistic way that many of us were taught as children, that they are one of five genetically discrete, self-contained, non-overlapping taxonomic classes: Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals.

The author is arguing that if you are going to say that about fish, you can say it about trees, fruit, and plenty of other things. That may be true, but unlike with fish, I don't ever recall being given the impression that trees and fruit were genetically discrete self-contained scientific categories. Fruit just seemed like something that some plants have, without any sense that fruity plants were necessarily more closely related than non-fruity plants. I mean, "biped" is also a category but nobody ever claimed that birds and humans are genetically discrete from the other four, six, eight, etc. legged animals. Still, it's a fun and interesting conversation, even though the author may have been forcing the fish analogy a bit.

A socketed chip is hardly any easier to program when the clip works fine. It's also an extra cost added to millions of units which maybe 1-10 customers will ever actually make use of. It's just cheaper to offer a program to mail the boards in to be flashed.
> Go's string handling is completely broken, for example.

Classic Andy, shitting on other language with no references or examples. Go has some of the best string handling I've used. Seamless byte, rune, string conversion. Simple iterating and slicing. Plus helpful tools like strings.Builder and strconv.AppendInt. while Zig has nothing.

He actually explains that in one of his other replies: after 10 days of infection, you’re not fighting the virus anymore, so monoclonal antibodies are useless.

Covid, the virus, doesn’t typically kill you directly: the cytokine storm that some people seem to have afterwards is what kills them.

That’s why people making statement about “my
immune system is strong” are speaking from a position of ignorance. You don’t want an over-reaction of your immune system in response to viral load. This is what the vaccine helps with by giving your immune system a chance to develop an immune response without having to go nuclear trying to clear the infection.

The storm is why people are ok at day 7-10, then suddenly crash on day 11-4, seemingly out of the blue. They have a hyperactive response that begins destroying healthy tissue, particularly the lungs and the heart, given the concentration of ACE-2 receptors, which is where the virus binds easiest to. Your immune system, still trying to develop an answer to this novel infection, goes scorched earth to attempt to clear any and all rogue RNA that is detected.

That’s when you lungs start to hardened and fill and pneumonia kicks in; it’s all the dead tissue in your lungs from your now CoVid-induced autoimmune disorder.

This is why steroids are given - they blunt the various inflammatory responses a cytokine storm brings on. Problem is, your immune system do go hard in the paint, and sends EVERYTHING it has.

This is why using an anti-parasitic in this moment makes a whole lot of no sense.

This is why HCQ makes no sense at this stage.

The new oral anti-virals have the same issue: you have to get tested, diagnosed, and get these into you AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. The oral antivirals that are being tested stop the replication process of the virus, or that’s the goal.

The less viral load, hopefully a more blunted immune response, the less or no organ destruction.

Make sense?
Of course it matters - if you had the second vaccination recently you should wait till around 5 or 6 months to get the booster, but if the booster makes a qualitative difference then you should get it right away.

If the booster fades after a few months then that's important to know as well.
I'll second this. I appreciate the CEO's outspokenness on privacy, security etc. And they're just a decent and inexpensive registrar to boot.
Congrats.

Here's to hoping Zig gets explicit SIMD intrinsics in 1.0. It is one of the few things holding me back. That and the pedantic compiler errors around unused variables.
Yes, definitely the case in Germany.
That's not what I meant by inline.

In C++, you can set the default at the same time as you declare the member variable, meaning the three things (variable type, variable name and variable default) are in exactly the same place in the code on the same line.

In Rust, you can't do this, you need to implement new() or default() (or manually specify all field items when declaring the struct), which is normally in another place in the code, so you have tightly-coupled code in two places, which is as bad as C++ headers and implementation files which is what a lot of Rust evangelists seem to complain about on here about C++ (it's a valid complaint, but I don't think Rust completely gets it right, as is complicates / makes things more verbose in other ways like this one).

Interesting that you mention only domestic military facilities... When I was deployed to Afghanistan ten years ago, with rockets and mortar rounds landing daily inside the perimeter of our Forward Operating Base, I was irritated to see recent and high-resolution satellite imagery on Google Maps. I can see my sleeping tent, office building(s), and parked helicopters in perfect clarity. The imagery hasn't been updated since then, so you can still see everything despite this base being abandoned years ago.

The emulation scene is more extra than I can handle atm, so I'll focus more on the XBMC Foundation:

What more can they do? They make a legal product with plenty of legal and licensed uses and they did their due diligence to prevent piracy via their product as much as possible. They also did so without being hostile to customers and unnecessarily locking-down their plugin system.

I grew up playing Nintendo. Later I moved to PC and arrow keys. It was never a problem for me. But using WASD as arrow keys never worked for me. It is not intuitive for me.
If you've ever built a computer, just put together something lowend. MicroATX is usually least cost and easy to work with.

Something like https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3MpGmk

Some people don't care for Realtek nics, you can spend more to get Intel if you want. You could put more ram, or storage, or whatever if you're going to do more than routing. Ryzen might be nicer, but they don't have a cheap CPU with integrated graphics right now, and it's not worth paying $100 more to get one for a router, IMHO. If you can find a motherboard with IPMI for cheap, that'd be nice, but I can't, so I just use a spare monitor and keyboard when I need to.

There's small x86 router boards around, and they're cool, but if anything goes wrong, your options are limited. If anything in this fails, you can get the part replaced at your local computer store, even if that's BestBuy.
It is a bit odd. I think the PCG authors are talking about reduced-round variants below 8[1] re: statistical quality. I agree it doesn't belong in a row labeled "ChaCha20." It seems obvious that chacha below 4 rounds is total garbage[2] but I don't know much about 4-7 rounds. The Too Much Crypto guy likes 8 rounds for cryptographic purposes.

I define "normal" as things like wearing unremarkable clothing, eating at trendy restaurants, going sightseeing, saying grace at family dinners, keeping a decent job, bringing food to parties, keeping my lawn tidy, driving an unremarkable car, learning the art of small talk, etc.

People use these things to calibrate their interactions with a person they're meeting for the first time. Once people see you as "normal" they're more prone to listen when you start throwing out the weird ideas.
TL;DR: I'm generally suspicious of life hacks. Doing what seems natural generally gets it done.

The advice regarding spaced repetition strikes me as being as too-pat a solution as listening at 3x. A combination of approaches works for me.

If I'm listening to an audio or video presentation for the first time, I prefer to listen at 1.8x to 2x to get through the material more quickly, but I'm COMPLETELY focused on it while I'm listening. No browsing the web or driving or whatever. I'll stop and write notes, or back up and maybe slow down if something isn't clear, but I default to high speed. The same with reading: the first time through I'll "speed read" or even skim just to get an overview and load the material into my mental cache.

Once I have a good map of the material, I'll revisit it with a better understanding of what I want to cover and where my understanding is still weak. Sometimes it takes a couple of iterations, or I'll try to put the knowledge into practice and return to review the parts that the practice shows that I have an imperfect grasp of.

Effectively, this approach ends up being spaced repetition without Anki decks or reminders to review material.

> there are a lot of aspects of math which stem from thinking, "well what if I took a square root of negative one?"

I don't think that's what imaginary numbers stem from. If I recall, they came from the much more specific question of "what if I apply the formula for roots of a cubic polynomial, even when that formula produces some nonsensical intermediate values that end up canceling each other out?".

It's less about "what if we do this?" and more about "we have this method, and it seems to work even in cases where it's not obvious that it should work".

81% of eligible population fully vaccinated. Do we still blame the anti-vax up to 100% ? Then who do we blame ?
Because even if a lot of people are OK and only a few die, those "few" still add up to hundreds of thousands dead people, when the entire population gets infected. Which sure sounds like a good reason to get hysterical. To say nothing of the issue of a catastrophically overtaxed health system and what side effects that will have.
I'm not going to go so far as to say we throw Covid infection parties :)
But things like travel restrictions, should (and in some cases are) being lifted.

I appreciate the need for govts to be seen to do something "new variant? quick, lock the borders..", but as data emerges that this is "the one to get" there's no need to inhibit the economy in the name of public health, when that inhibition leads to a worse, not better outcome.

Our best case scenario right now is that a) the virus spreads really fast, and b) it's not lethal (or at least no more lethal than anything else in life.)

Ultimately we all need to build up immunity from this thing - whether that's via vaccines or contractions everyone is free to take their pick. but 5 years from now we'll all have anti-bodies for it one way or the other...
Google reassured that onhub will not face any issues since they will commit to long term support of the device.

Which is hilarious because of course they didn't. They never do. How many times does Google have to fuck their hardware customers before people wise up? This isn't even the first time Google has done this explicitly to force customers to buy into the Nest ecosystem. Remember when they bought Revolv and then bricked all their $300 smart home hubs to force people to buy Nest hubs instead? Anyone who trusts Google not to drop them the very instant it becomes profitable to do so is a damn fool.
4% is the estimate or known cases?
To a suitably changed virus any population of a certain size and density is an opportunity.
No.

Less dramatic is simply a complete lack of empathy. The CEO of my company is really a sales guy at heart and got upset enough to start pushing for return to the office once the company lost deals because his competitors were putting people on planes for face to face meetings and we were still exclusively using Zoom.

But the thing is his IT support organization and other people in non-sales roles are also being told they too will RTTO. Surely the risk to their health far outweighs whatever immeasurable benefit to the firm accrues from butts in seats? But to a sales person who deals in relationships I'm sure anything but people working from the office feels unnatural.
He blackmailed and extorted them, yes. Which is quite illegal.

Financial regulations are profusely conservative. They're all about stability and preserving existing power structures. And mass financial surveillance, not least surveillance of dissidents and anti-establishment movements.

In principle Bitcoin unlocks some of the chains. The government pressured payment processors to stop processing donations to WikiLeaks, so they used Bitcoin.

Yes of course, but if you don't do it right you might get the sales (and the sales people get their bonuses) but the retention will be abysmal. For example, a salesperson who promises features or deadlines without consulting the tech team about what's doable will cause unnecessary crunch, poor quality releases and angry customers.

> Something I really worry about with these apps is that they now have a financial incentive to find more people with mental health issues.

And thank goodness they are getting more people in. The biggest problem in mental health is that the majority of people who need help don't get it.

No they can't. There is zero evidence that you can get clinical depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, or anything else serious socially.

Call in all inteligence heads and ask the most important question: do aliens exist?
This joke actually highlights the utter ludicrousness of a scientific-rational explanation of the universe without God. Because as long as you keep searching for "phenomena" to explain existence, the question remains, what caused that phenomena. But "God" is a sort of final answer to the problem, a realization that causation has to stop somewhere, and wherever it stops, that is God.

Historically the square root of negative one arose more naturally than you might think; it is basically impossible to avoid it when you derive a cubic formula. Historically the work on complex numbers started as soon as cubic and quartic formulas were derived, because complex numbers emerge naturally and unavoidably from those formulas (even for polynomials that have only real roots). At first mathematicians were generally dismissive of the imaginary units and viewed them as "nonsense" terms that sometimes appear in some formulas and there was a lot of doubt about dealing with such terms (the same doubt you might have if someone divided by zero while solving some formula, even if they wind up finding the correct answer). Those doubts were completely eliminated by the proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra.

For what it's worth, you can avoid "imaginary" numbers entirely if you want -- you can do arithmetic on real polynomials modulo x^2+1, or equivalently on 2x2 real matrices of a special form.
I know this was intended with /s but XR, as in spatial computing embodied experience and the ability to overlay digital information onto your field of vision, is about to become a whole new sector of capability. The number of previous false dawn projections is not relevant at this point.

Ah, yeah, the absolute worst then. I get to now go to an office and have to still deal with all the remote aspects because Billy is in office 1, Jenny is in office 2, Alex is in office 3, and I’m here in office 4. Since these offices are spread throughout a large geographical area - there’s no real way for us to easily meet up for a meeting randomly. Wooo!!

On top of that - small offices tend to have less amenities as well. So now there’s no gym, maybe no kitchen, and very little benefits to the office overall because everyone is still distributed and now you have a super shitty micro office that clutters up a suburban hellscape.

Awesome…
