Well, you can - you just need to live a mostly offline live with few, highly hardened devices and enter you passwords under a blanket. Edward Snowden does manage, after all. But you'll have to skip on a lot of enjoyment - new software, games, even Netflix - forget it.

The real question is, is it worth to you to live such a live. Probably not.
My dad grew up with that religion too, I'm not sure how it effected him in the long run but he seems like a nice enough guy these days. I'm just glad he's still with us, I guess.

Let's play Devil's... I mean God's advocate here.

We seem to judge God, which is probably unwise in light of us knowing so little about the universe. Imagine that God saw the timelines of those two sentient species, and saw both devolve and lose their way, ultimately to their doom. So then God had the choice of saving one by sacrificing the other, because even God has to take when he gives, because there's a balance in the Universe, every positive thing has its negative created and annihilated at the same time.

In this case it was a choice of God letting two species die by their own hand, or kill one to save the other. It's the Trolley Problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

Of course, I'm not saying Christianity saved us per se. That's the thesis Christianity would give of course. But we also know that the Christian churches imposed a thousand years of intellectual darkness on the world, by fighting science every step of the way. Is this God's mistake or do we again speak in ignorance?

Because imagine we discovered nuclear bombs a thousand years ago. Would we even exist today? Knowledge is good, and I don't think any fair deity would oppose knowing unconditionally. But there's such a thing as "knowing just enough to be dangerous". If our morality lacks severely behind our knowledge, then we'd die by our own hand.

Again, it's hard for us to judge such actions when we can't see the consequences of our actions. We predict, but don't see. A being like God which exists outside our subjective timeline would know precisely what's the effect of their interference.

If I can borrow a popular meme, "would you kill baby Hitler if you go back in time". Well, would you? Of course, there are alternatives to killing a baby, so this is a false dichotomy. You could take care of the baby so it doesn't grow up to be a militant dictator. But in some cases fate gives us the Trolley Problem and no alternatives. And then the wise decision is to make a choice, not let the choices be made for you.
Unless you're Apple, I'd make an exception there - they absolutely require support from their vendors for all their non-standard stuff: AirPlay WiFi-based screen mirroring, Handoff, Thunderbolt-based Target Display Mode / Target Disk Mode.

Apple always demands to be in control of what is running on their devices, no matter what - even where it's pure software that's concerned, like with the NVidia fallout - and they (usually) insist on quality... there's a reason why Apple hardware feels so painless to interoperate, compared to the Windows or Linux world.
I’m a Protestant in the reformed tradition that would fall inline with the London baptist confession and Heidelberg catechism.

I make it my goal to read the Bible every morning. I typically spend about 30m-1h studying 1-2 verses in a given chapter. Right now I’m in the book of James.

I pray for the assistance of the Holy Spirit to illuminate my understanding, read the verse, give thanks and praise where appropriate, and journal about the verse and how it relates to similar teachings, how the meaning applies to me by either encouragement, exhortation or conviction. (Those are the typical themes).

After this, if I have time, I’ll move through my prayer list for people I’ve told that I would pray for. I pray for my wife, my children, my family and myself.

All of this is pretty dependent on me waking up early and my kids not waking up as I do this :).
yeah it's already pretty good price, guess depends context

I was able to buy an entire laptop eg. Toshiba Chromebook 2 for $50 on ebay

I think the point is that compuational processes are an emergent property of matter, but not matter. It's like how when I look at the plant on my desk, I see a green thing. The "experience of greenness" isn't composed of matter; it emerges as a result of the interaction of matter and energy in particular ways, but is not itself matter.

Slightly off topic, but at the end of the article he says he is looking for Linux devs and says something like "Send me an email to bla bla at put.as". The domain sounded wrong in Spanish (like bitch.es), and when I visited the website it had a NSFW logo. I found it strange.
I'm left-handed in most things, including writing. I tried to be a left-handed mouse user for a while, but it didn't stick. Got to be too much of a pain to switch constantly with corded mice on a shared computer at home and at school. Eventually I just became more precise with my right hand and stuck with it.

It does seem a bit weird that my left hand is much more precise with writing and my right hand is much more precise with a mouse, but oh well.

Funny enough my left hand is the hand that started getting finger joint pains. I think it might have been because of hands on the WASD keys for movement in video games had something to do with it, though. I switched to a controller and they seem to slowly be getting better.
It's a common mentality in Quebec too and often attributed to our catholic heritage. Having money was for a long time seen as "taboo" and immoral.
It hasn't actually taken a lot of data it figure out vitamin D's relevance to COVID. While updated review articles are always appreciated, we had clear data from clinical studies over a year ago.

Trackball user here, with a cheap wireless mouse siting on the desk for variety. I use my left hand most of the time so the right can stay on the number pad, arrows, and enter key. During my busy season I often work eighty hours in six days and then I will switch the trackball or sometimes the mouse to the right to give the left a break, depending on the task I am working on.
Would you define yourself as being anywhere on the autism spectrum?

Sorry for the very personal question. You certainly don’t owe me an answer. I just find it fascinating how some people care a lot about tracking their lives and others (like me) do not. I’m curious how it relates to personality types.
aren't things like taxes and maintance passed along to the renters?
I just answered this question on another article yesterday. Here was my comment:

Oculus already tried the phone route and abandoned it because of the inherent limitations of not controlling the whole hardware stack. Let's look at first mobile Oculus headset, the Oculus GO which was binary compatible with content made for GearVR;

- Performed better than GearVR with a far slower SoC than the Galaxy handsets because the thermal solution could be designed around the headset.

- Cost $200 vs the $1000 for a Galaxy handset + GearVR

- Was more comfortable with higher weight because of better distribution across the headset instead of being concentrated in the front where the phone attaches.

- The display was sharper with a lower resolution than GearVR, because you design the panel differently for headset than a handset
I can see that in theory, but when you look at the cases curve in the US pre and post-vaccination you can't really tell there has been a "huge" effect, I would even call that a failure, frankly if we had given everybody enough vitamin D to fix the significant average deficiencies, that would have a much more dramatic effect on reducing infection and spread. Maybe we could even have a vitamin D pass :P...

Your comparison would only be fair if the alternative (malloc/object pool) would not have more memory than strictly necessary either.

But malloc and friends usually do what a very basic GC would (make separate pools for differently sized “objects”).

While object pools also need much more memory unless it is full.

So all in all, GCs do trade off more memory for more efficient allocation/deallocation but that is a conscious (and sane) tradeoff to make for like 99% of applications as memory stored on RAM doesn’t consume much energy compared to doing GC cycles like a mad man. Also, it is quite configurable in case of JVM GCs.
Yea, I meant Nuget

iirc there were some changes around .NET Framework -> .NET Core to how does it work (where packages are stored) and that's why I said that since .NET Core I didn't have problems with it

In America where the NSA is located? I’ve never written “lol” on this site, but this time called for it.

Since you’re in France I’ll now explain nicely. Not even our cops have any legal requirement to intervene: both when there’s an active crime or even if they see another cop committing a crime in the line of duty (e.g. excessive force).

And civilians (in the American press both military and “deputized” police are called non-civilian) will frequently ignore all manner of crimes, from shootouts to a person overdosing on drugs.
It really doesn't matter what your major is.

I went to college mostly as a means to get some distance from my horrible family, and I advise anyone coming from a rough family to go to college just so you don't need to do with your family as much. You don't need to go to a good one, even with a GED. You can always go down to community college a few cities over.

That can more than be enough.

>Now, obviously, that's not the case with all education, but my next gripe with it is the seemingly insurmountable debt that said education brings. Literally, all of my friends that have gone to college are no where near paying their debt off and I'm in my late 30s.

I will say this generation is all about complaining and less about hard work. It's about going on Twitter to complain about how hard it is to find a job, instead of going on LinkedIn to actually find one.

I can make a single phone call and pay off all my student loan debt today, I just feel no need to since some politician is going to eventually forgive it some of it.

I also use having a degree as a filter for who I associate with. In my current city, except for a single person I've never gone out with anyone not either pursuing, or currently holding at least a four year degree.

If you tell me your 24 or something and you've never gone to college and you've never worked, I know you can bring harm to me. I'm from a very bad background full of these freaks who don't want to do anything except cause chaos.

Hold high standards for both yourself, and anyone else you surround yourself with. For example, on the Tinder TOS thread, I saw a minor debate over if it's okay to exclude people who don't have jobs from your dating pool.

I wasn't going to argue with anyone directly, but if you tell me your unemployed and you're still spending all day on match or Tinder, I don't want to be around you. Where I'm from, if someone doesn't have a job particularly they aren't even trying to find one, bad things tend to happen.
Meh… the Canadian example is more complex than the article infers. The idea is that all children should be educated in the public system. (we still do it today - education is mandatory). For First Nations in remote communities, those children would be required to attend residential schools since no local school existed.

If anything the mentality has more similarities to race relations today - “the White Man’s burden” of helping these cultures “bring themselves up”. Back then they took kids from parents and gave them a European education, and told them their current culture should be forgotten.

Today we just get rid of failing grades, calculus in high school, and standardized testing and implement racial quotas. In the end it’s the same - assuming we know best for other groups even if in the end it harms them.
Um... Do you not see his this post is contradictory? In your last post, you said the reason was user expectation. Here you first say that's the whole truth, them immediately contradict yourself and say it's actually about stickiness, not expectations - apps are more addictive than webpages - a reason totally different than the "whole truth" you gave previously.

Unfortunate that Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) are not in there. I always thought they would have a pretty fascinating root structure because of how separated they grow. Makes sense that it’s not in a Dutch database though!
But the parent also claimed he can make the same money without the degree. Both things can not be true at the same time ("you need the useless paper", "you can make the same money without it").

Apart from that, while the usefulness of some degrees can be questioned, there is a general concept called "signalling" which has actual value. That is you demonstrate certain qualities in a way that are difficult to fake (usually by doing something costly, like getting a degree, or carrying around a huge tail if you are a parrot).

Similar here, you can also look into philosophy instead of religion.

I am quite fond of stoicism. Not that I follow it religiously or would even call myself a stoic, but I think it is one of the best 'tutorials how to live a good life' out there.
As soon as I get up, put in airpods and listen to Roman Catholic Liturgy of the Hours: Morning Prayer and Office of Readings (Scripture-based prayers on a 4-week cycle, Scripture and spiritual reading on a 1-year cycle). That continues while I stretch/move/do a tiny workout, pause for shower, turn it back on while shaving and making coffee.

Then, ideally, I spend 30-60 minutes in personal prayer, usually in the form of journaling, and sometimes study of scripture and/or spiritual books. I have given this short/no shrift most days the last couple weeks and I’m missing the intimacy with God that I have when I do it more consistently. It’s like when my wife and I get over-busy with work: we still see each other, exchange enough words to coordinate schedules and household matters, still love each other of course, but we’re not as close and I miss her. Same with Jesus right now. He’s still caring for me and I’m still trying to follow him, but I’m missing out on that warm connection.

Five minutes before the hour every waking hour, a notification pops up on my watch with a prayer to draw closer and dedicate the next hour to God. I change the text of it periodically to reflect what God is teaching me currently and to keep it from becoming too routine for me.

Whenever I’m stuck or frustrated or sad, I try to (1) notice it and (2) talk about it with Jesus. There’s not a scheduled time for this, but it probably comes up at least daily.

Wherever I am, whomever I’m with, the closer I am with God, the more automatically I notice how beautiful the sky is, or how lovely it is that people have developed the craft of making a beautiful tabletop like the one I’m typing on, or how happy it is that other people are happy. E.g., I find noise very unpleasant, but the other day a very loud car with temporary tags drove by, and I gladly shifted from annoyance to being happy that the driver was able to afford transportation (if the engine noise was incidental) or that the driver got to enjoy their very impressively loud engine (if the noise was something they had sought on purpose). Then the noticing and the joy bring me back to gratitude to God, which draws me closer to God and reinforces the joy, etc..

So the joy God has in creation becomes, in tiny part, my joy, and the love of Jesus begins to become love I have for others. I’ve been a practicing Christian my whole life, and generally tried to do what I thought I ought to, but this growing intimacy with God is a new development for me since August this year. I find myself approaching interactions with others not to get them over as quickly as possible or say the appropriate things or to demonstrate my cleverness but with love for the person, gladness that they exist, and curiosity how I might be able to bring them some bit of love/happiness/blessing in the conversation.

This is correct, and why many lawyers do not maintain online presences, and do not conduct business online, in any capacity.
It's hard to recommend stuff here (I've been trying for years to work out how to reply to this answer FWIW), as a lot of the popular books about it are too close to law-of-attraction, Tony Robbins, Think and Grow Rich kind of stuff, or linked to the chiropractic field, which is a turnoff for a lot of for most people here, for reasons I understand, as I don't subscribe to much of that myself.

I also don't want to recommend particular practices here, lest I be seen as making health recommendations, which I'm not qualified to do.

I've written a lot of content about my own journey, which can help people to know what different practices are available and enable people to decide for themselves what practices are worth trying. Anyone is welcome to email me (address in bio) if they want to read what I've written. I also have a Discord group for people who want to discuss this stuff with other folks who are interested (pretty much everyone in the group is from HN).

But if you just want publicly available info and modalities, try these:

Authors: Gabor Maté, Peter Levine, Bruce Lipton, Bradley Nelson, Stan & Christina Grof.

Modalities: NET, Psych-K, Somatic Experiencing, Holotropic Breathwork, EFT/Tapping, Family Constellations, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy (but not NLP, in my opinion).
Ah, of course! Thank you.
I follow the shamanic path. I like it because it’s based on experience rather than faith.
I do have an MMO I play often(Planetside 2) but I go through frequent periods of disillusionment since the game has its fair share of cheaters and toxicity. (An MMO with FPS gameplay = quite a wide open space for cheating). The only thing keeping me in it is the fact that it's super unique and it has so many tools for outwitting the average "just good no hacks" bot user.

To wit, I can nearly maintain a 1 K/D after a thousand hours of play; the real problem with having bot users, even if they're on both teams, is that they vacuum up all the oxygen, and being an MMO, there is no matchmaking - you fight the population that shows up to that zone, independent of skill level. Nobody really knows how they're performing when 90% of their encounters are with an opponent that instantly three-taps their head. So to achieve a 1 K/D I have to find the rare fights not populated by those players or devise a way of farming them despite losing nearly every direct gun battle. It is mostly possible. As I said before, the game gives you a lot of tools to let you not take a direct confrontation or literally bring a tank to a gunfight.

Tonight was quite bad, though, with the late night server population eventually dwindling until the only opposition was a gang of blatant cheaters who knew the tricks and were all cooperating. If they stay in a group it's extremely hard to catch them unawares - thus, I ended with a 0.6 session K/D. The entire holiday break has made the game harder since that's when cheating intensifies.

But to generalize - gaming as a whole seems poisoned by consumer entitlement. People get sold these games where you imagine you are the hero. Then they get blasted and blame everyone but themselves for it, then run off and find a cheat so that they can prove something to someone. People who play combat sports aren't like this(apart from cranks that show up suddenly at local tournaments and do illegal moves in the first round) - the training is of similar or greater importance to the winning, and there's real risk to the bullshit if it hurts someone.
This is a great resource. The type of soil however impacts the root growth significantly, and unfortunately isn't mentioned in the drawings. Other than that this can be very helpful if you want incorporate root structure in the design of a polyculture system.

Here's a link to my post (unfortunately, in Russian) describing the process: https://t.me/little_pieces/822?single

A quick translation:

1. We have a 2D space and a regular shape with N angles, where N is a parameter.

2. Choose a function f : R -> R (e.g. f(x) = x / 2 for Sierpinsky).

3. Choose a random "current" point

4. Choose a random angular point of the N-shape

5. Calculate the distance D between two points. Move the current point to the selected angle point by distance calculated as f(D).

6. Repeat steps 4-5, saving position of the current point on each step, until there is enough data to draw a density map

It'll be bad PR if they don't honor it, though. Purchasers of the NFT don't know the original holder got banned, and they have every reason to assume buying the NFT from that person will give them whatever privilege or cosmetic it's supposed to grant them in-game. Enough people don't have that happen and complain about it loudly enough and Ubisoft will feel pressure to change their policies to honor it.

It'd be a stupid hill to die on anyway. Granted Ubisoft has done some stupid stuff in the past, but this one I don't think they'd win in the end.
