Sure, and I'm positive you knew which three I meant when I said it: the three that together probably comprise 4 nines of overall desktop use, and which are compared all over this thread.

UX does differ somewhat between, Linux distros & WMs (and Chrome OS, to the extent you consider it Linux proper), and between releases of all three OSes; but within families they maintain broad continuity. I use multiple variants - again daily - and my point stands that all have untapped potential.

But I doubt you supposed otherwise, nor honestly think I'm unaware of other OSes... so why take the time to ask? Pedantry? Did I slight an OS you favor?
One review put it nicely. It's better than the sequels...

They were so awful. This, I didn't need it. I expected the worst. It exceeded my expectations and was reasonably entertaining. The two other sequels were awful.
It was… fine. There’s some great shots and action, and some interesting new ideas in there somewhere. But it does some meta level self aware bullshit that doesn’t work. Also, thinking back on it, there really aren’t many stakes to feel threatened by. And it leans way too much on the original trilogy. Like, there’s so much footage from the old ones… There’s a decent movie in there somewhere, I think. But they needed someone else not involved in the originals to wrangle the screenplay.
What a load of incoherent nonsense.

> Recursive functions and algorithms are a cornerstone of computer science, that is simply how computers work.

No, not at all.

> What is recursion? It simply means taking something you have, running it again, but running in such a way that it gets slightly better next run.

What in the...

> Even the word “Resurrections” sounds a bit like “Recursion” which might be a coincidence, yet knowing Lana’s unparalleled talent of creating meta everywhere, makes me wonder.

My eyes rolled back so hard that I'm now legally blind.
There's not ENOUGH dirt in the world to lay at the foot of that regime.
Both Nelson Mandela and Tutu were greatly influenced by Gandhi. What is less known is that Gandhi's non-violent political philosophy germinated in Africa, greatly influenced by African culture and politics.

That's just hilarious.

There are so many reasons for staff shortages in the UK right now. Covid isn't even the main one.
Look up “California water rights”, it’s a fascinating history.
We also have to accept that some dynamic page problems are completely unsolvable or have horrible solutions.

For instance, with infinite scroll - I spend 10 minutes scrolling down through 7000 rows, with all but the first few loaded dynamically.

I now want to send what I'm looking at to a friend. Or I want to bookmark it. Sure, I can have my app put the scrollposition in an anchor tag in the URL, but what happens when that URI is navigated to? Whatever solution you pick, it is horrid.
> pumping water from Oregon to California

Oregon does not have a magical surplus supply of fresh water ready and willing to ship off to California.

(Your link for that one is missing, by the way.)
This nurse is taking quite a different approach from yours. These photos are empathic and respectful and takes humans as they are, while still getting the message across. I don’t think your mindset would lead to the same quality of journalism.
There's a natural distribution to these things, so actually an average of 3 does in fact say "something" about the tail behavior of concurrents (that is, the highest values you can expect under peak load).

As a rule of thumb: it's probably on the order of 5x-10x (absent outlier events); then look at your data to find out what it actually is (users are not evenly distributed across the day/week); then apply the usual 4x or so rule for capacity planning.

That is to say - it isn't necessarily a scaling issue. Especially when you're just starting out and no one is looking at your damn app anyway. If it's well designed and cleanly built you'll have plenty of time to factor for scale when the time comes (if it comes).
You will. It was so f-ing bad I was laughing hysterically the whole time and I had a blast.
Does anyone have a guide to how someone might recover a website in this way?
The instruments do exactly as you say (run the sample N times), but this obviously comes at a cost. Also, keep in mind that sequencing needs to be very, very accurate to be useful. We share most of our DNA, and the small variations make up all the difference.
It's also a school case study in showing how regardless they've gone down hill in food quality, in service quality, etc, their customers continue to patronize them.
I'm not sure how we're managing to agree so much on overall direction/motivation, while seeming to contradict one another.

> They want "just a screen" precisely so that they can use whatever they want on it, including filemanagers if they wish.

Yep - and if the screen is "just a screen" (i.e. has no file manager or other media-interfacing functionality on it), there there will need to be some _other_ computer in the stack of "computers all the way down" to provide the media-interface. For me, Kodi does that job perfectly well, but it doesn't work well for everyone.

Yes, this is an uncontroversial statement of a distasteful truth.

Your DNA can tell you a lot about what could happen, but not about what is happening.

If you "have seen most very experienced software developers do quite poorly during interviews" then you are the problem. Change the way you interview.
My personal philosophy on this is to not live life by tactics like "anti-mimetic" or "counter cultural". Like what you like, be present & don't treat life like a to-do list. There's room to be well read alcoholic with a good heart & a love for 90's hip hop.

EDIT: And for god's sake be kind to someone who doesn't share your worldview, even if that worldview is offensive in some way.
Productivity gains quickly get eaten up by increases in rent. That's why productivity doesn't always add an increase to wages. The business owners must pay rent.
A Linux is a Linux is a Linux... All GNU/Linuxes are same. That is, if you want to do something meaningful with it, it does not really matter which flavor you choose. You can even build a Linux "from scratch" [0] and it will do just fine.

Don't you love those axle changes though? Every time I go through one I think.. we could just switch trains.
Yeah idk what model the OP has of FAANGs in his/her mind, but it's totally misaligned with reality.

Some roles at Amazon fit that model. But most roles at bigcorps are where you go to coast, vs startups where you have to actually show results and put in a full 40 (at least) hours a week.
I mean yeah? Cargo works the same way. You have to bootstrap with something and avoiding a dependency outside your language ecosystem is a good way to ensure that the lifetime of your package manager is as long as the language it supports.
Curious, I checked the revenue that bus ads bring in where I live. I can't find a specific line item, but it's definitely not one of the major income streams. I assume the return:reward ratio is good. They probably outsource the management of the ad space and get some millions trickle in for no effort.

To know just how much they are affecting you, you have to go to a place with no ads.

Honestly the only ads I ever see in real life are bus and bus stop ads. Maybe it's terrible where you live, but here, I can barely remember the last one I saw. If anything I wish the local government would have more ads. They have a bunch of activities on sometimes that I don't hear about or forget because their advertising is so poor.
If the kids are serious about photography and are willing to put the effort into it, then yes an old DSLR is an excellent choice. The older models are also rather unforgiving and require you to master manual control, a proper grip, etc. Plus they will be able to shoot in RAW and learn how to develop and process their images.

I learned on an old Olympus DSLR that had poor metering and slow AF and thus trained me to judge exposure and focus by eye. The poor dynamic range also forced me to sometimes shoot (manual) HDR and properly develop the RAW images to get the detail out of the highlights and shadows. A lower resolution sensor meant that I had to get the framing correct as opposed to cropping later in post.

However a kid might also find the DSLR difficult to use without the gratification of instant results (the cheap point-and-shoots have suprisingly good auto modes). They also might find the size and weight annoying to bring along - and choose to leave the camera at home. Honestly even as someone who likes photography there are many times when I choose not to bring the DSLR for that reason.

I think it really depends on whether they want a camera to take snapshots, or want to get into the finer technical and artistic aspects of photography.
In that case, you might want to have a friend/acquaintance with a job like what you want to review your resume and give you feedback on that and a first round-style interview. If you don’t know anyone who can, read over resumes on linkedin, and pay close attention to the language used, and to the extent that it’s relevant to your work try to mirror it. Try to be direct and confident about what you know/don’t know during the interview, and try to at least learn how to talk about technologies that touch what you’re more expert in.
Vaccinations decrease the chance you’ll take valuable hospital space from someone who isn’t there for covid. That’s the real issue. Anyways, maybe you’ll eventually get the picture and get vaccinated, maybe not, but eventually you will be a pariah in the community and I certainly won’t be there to defend your idea of freedom.
Sometimes there are no more life hacks to try and you might just have to accept that you work best in the afternoons/evenings as opposed to the mornings.

Perhaps optimizing for this is better than changing your habits and working against your natural tendency?
California is a great place to grow what is grown there, but it is not efficient in terms of water use, in part because the incentives are screwed up.

The end result of the existing water rights systems is that for some farms in very arid regions, water is basically free, so they use a ton of it growing e.g., Almonds and Pomegranates, highly water-intensive crops which should probably be grown in less-arid parts of the state.

If water cost effectively reflected water scarcity within the central valley, I suspect things would be quite different. But this is hard to change, because politics (in California but also everywhere) favors incumbents who have a lot to lose, over newcomers who could have a lot to gain, or over a large population that stands to gain a little bit but not enough to vote over it. (See: occupational licensing, Prop. 13, etc.)
Ultimately rents are constrained by wages. So are property prices but low interest rates and ease of borrowing can skew this for a while... However people can't take a mortgage to pay the rent and really must have the cash. So, yes, if a property finds a tenant at a certain rent it does mean that they can pay for it and are fine with it.

My experience is that many small individual landlords tend not to seek "what the market can bear", usually simply because they are not obsessed with maximizing balance sheet and P&L where corporate landlords have people on the payroll to do just that.
I think people go way too hard on these Facebook-sponsored internet deals.

Like, yeah, they help build Facebook's brand and place it in a position of market dominance... but they're doing that by providing low-cost internet to vast populations that otherwise couldn't afford it.

There are millions of people that can talk to their relatives and have better access to government services and communicate with people they've never met, that would still be cut off if not for Facebook.
Haven't seen it but other movies or shows like the witcher, I liked a lot but apparently a bunch of internet people are about to start a revolution over how horrible they say it was. Same with the recent Star wars movies, they were all great for me except the one about Solo. I've learned to remind myself that my experience and taste can and will be different than the crowd. I watched seasons of shows in great enjoyment and then apparently I was not supposed to! Don't let others' reviews and opinions set your expectations, people tend to see what they're looking for.
'Truly profound' comes from 'seeing software on tiny rectangle' vs. 'being in the software'. The full immersion is the true innovation here.
AWSSupportServiceRolePolicy Informational Update
NetBSD's package manager is pkgsrc, which (at least on foreign systems) uses /usr/pkg for the source tree and /opt/pkg for installs.

While ports packages are always considered 'optional', they are sometimes first-party (as opposed to 'foreign') in the sense that they're made by the same community of developers as the base system, and they are universally expected to be the main package manager on that particular OS. I think usage of /usr/local as an install prefix is more typical for ports systems that are 'first-party' in this sense.

When Homebrew was created, MacPorts already used /usr/local, and Homebrew's choice to do the same made them incompatible with one another. /usr/local is also directly used by language-specific package managers for global package installs by default, which is another potential source of conflict.

Because /usr/local is on a lot of default search paths, it's more likely that libraries installed there will be picked up by default by random programs on the system (both at build time and at runtime). This is somewhat convenient, especially if you want your package manager to modify the behavior of the underlying base system. But it's also less portable, less predictable, and more presumptuous in that it is more likely to cause conflicts with other tools (and thus assumes/asserts that you won't use them). For these reasons, most ports systems that target foreign operating systems (e.g., Pkgsrc, MacPorts, Ravenports, Gentoo Prefix, and, oddly enough, Linuxbrew) don't target or recommend /usr/local as the default install prefix.
> 5G will make it cheap enough for manufacturers to bundle always-on cellular modems in every device

How do you figure that? Is there something special about the 5G electronics and chipset manufacturing that make would make it much cheaper than 4G electronics? I don't think this is true.
Your DNA is almost exactly the same as other people's, just a unique mix.

Music is exactly the same notes, just a unique mix. So why is Sony upset that I want to stream their entire library? But jokes aside...

A few decades ago I fought the military on collecting my DNA. I stalled them long enough to get my honorable discharge and avoid that all together. It's funny you ask because the commander asked the same thing and joked "Are you afraid we are going to clone you?!" to which I replied, "No sir, you should be afraid you are going to clone me." and we both had a laugh because he knew I was right. The military are not fond of critical/free thinkers. One of me was plenty. I explained that insurance companies were already using this data to retroactively cancel peoples policies even if they were not actively afflicted by something. The commander showed me how to use the FOIA request system.

Laws have evolved a little since then but there are plenty of other risks. For starters, I can't easily change my DNA like I can change my debit card. That data can be used to tie me to others or guilt by association which is undesirable drama. It can also be used to try to sell me things. It can also be used to target biological weapons against specific groups of people. There appears to be an imbalance of data sharing in this regard. [1] Then there is simply the matter of privacy. If I want to share my DNA with some lab that is in turn going to sell it out to hundreds of other companies over and over forever, I should at very least be getting paid a vast amount of money and land and have legally binding contracts and NDA's that cover what is and is not allowed to be done with my data and how long it may be retained. That contract and the laws enforcing the contract must have some serious teeth with very serious ramifications for anyone violating it whether intentionally or by mistake.

> Are you saying California is to be "blamed" for letting water run through rivers it normally

Don't you think there's a valid argument to not just interfere in one particular area ("pumping up water") and then throw your hands up when it comes to others that could help offset the first interference? If you have e.g. flood events and you don't capture that water, you're essentially wasting it. Instead, draining wetlands and channeling rivers makes sure that you get rid of the water as soon as possible and dump it into the ocean instead of giving it a chance to permeate into the ground.
But not in our dreams. No sir-ee
> Was that built for cars?

You tell me are cars and traffic a big problem on that road? Would it be a problem if companies started dumping their products/marketing on that road to obstruct it?
Despite various laws etc, don't mention your age on your resume, and only list a few previous roles (perhaps the last 5-8 years max with "more details available on request" or something vague). Don't put your graduation date etc. Don't list job history going back decades. Basically don't give people any ammo to think you are "old".

Bias - unconscious or otherwise - is real. It sucks but you may need to try to work around it and play the games. Don't lie, just don't mention it or bring it up.

Good luck.

Chivo Wallet is non custodial. It is managed by the government somehow. It’s pure evil what they did there. Afaik a government official could take it all.
shrug I really liked it. It felt like Lana Wachowski re-imagining what they really wanted to do for the first movie, but now 20 years wiser and more experienced. I loved how it brought in more color--some scenes almost reminded me of Speed Racer with all the hues.
> I've been a professional software interviewer (600+ interviews) and have seen most very experienced software developers do quite poorly during interviews.

So... you've 1) realized you're dealing with experienced people and 2) yet discarded them based on irrelevant "interview skills"?

How does this serve the company trying to hire someone?

FWIW, the couple of times I've interviewed someone -- I've always given the guy a 2nd chance if I've seen he's obviously nervous or just not on a good day, but has the material. Even an autistic nerd like myself can spot that and have the common decency to look past trivial human weaknesses.

Besides, I'd rather pick a genuine human being as a colleague rather than some overbearing, over-social, potentially arrogant prick whose competitive urges are liable to disrupt technical decision making down the line. Those types belong in the suite & tie department, not in tech.
It can be done with time and desire. Learn how to diagnose, cost, repair hydraulic, electrical, diesel, undercarriage, and rebuild stored energy accumulators without injuring yourself. Some of the time will be on oil/gas pads and get your MSHA papers so you can be left by yourself at night fixing a machine where there is no phone service. And use cutting gear and liquid nitrogen safely. It can be done.
> Small businesses that have paid a web developer to make them a website rarely get a good return on their investment.

What if they make their own website? It's relatively easy these days, depending on what you want to do (and if it isn't, there are packages to help!).
There are thousands of people looking for jobs at any particular moment who "can do the work."

Tech is always the misnomer because it's english everywhere. Honestly, I'm shocked quite regularly with how little & how badly english is spoken in Germany (outside of tech) - and how rude people can be (esp. over the phone) if you don't speak semi-fluent german.
I've heard if it. I just don't think biometrics are ever going to be good enough to securely drive a key from.

And even if they were, I'm not sure one-key-per-human is what you'd want. I think we ought to be able to generate pseudonyms which provably belong on to a taxpaying citizen, but which can't be traced to the specific one. For protecting whistleblowers and such.
>speeders, drunk drivers

Unsafe and drunk drivers are quite condemned.

Obese people don't normally make hospital beds unavailable. If there was a safe, easy to take and effective vaccine against obesity, but they refused to take it, they would be condemned much more.

Plus none of them can infect others with their affliction.
Efficiently in that with enough water it’s the best place to grow things. The soil, weather, etc. are really good. Water needs to be better allocated but my understanding is that it’s not feasible to just say that California should have much less farmland since there isn’t elsewhere in the country that can have its output.

Sitting on the chairlift in Canada just pre-covid it was a daily occurrence to talk to an American who had come up to Canada for a week because their local ski resort had no snow.

They all said their resort used to get a ton, now it's lucky to get a foot for the whole season. This is a reality now.

EDIT: Also worth mentioning the capital city of Alaska had zero recorded snowfall for an entire winter for the first time in recorded history. Yes, it's very real.
Are you basing your judgment only on those who develop addictions, rather than considering all people who use these substances, some of who do not develop addiction issues (developing addiction issues is not terribly common with psychedelics)?
