I think you're mixing a few aspects of a password management solution. Not all password managers are online (LastPass). Not all password managers require an extension.

If you use an offline password manager you don't need to use a browser extension. If your password manager requires a browser extension, it's increasing the risk profile.

Password managers are not a terrible idea. Certain implementations of password managers are a terrible idea.

I never once heard nor thought the matrix sequels were planned from the beginning. The first movie is completely self-contained. The feel of the sequels is of someone stretching out a completed story, because of the money made from the first one, not anything pre-planned from the beginning, and they also feel like 1 movie that was made artificially into 2 to get more box office money.
(I also went through and love this book). It isn't really even written in any code. It has some pseudocode to describe some things, but it primarily describes tests to write. It's a really excellent book to kick the tires of a new language you want to try out.
> To become a noble you would generally have to have done something of great note

This might be arguably true for the 1st generation, the one who becomes a noble. Maybe this noble marries another 1st or 2nd generation noble and they have children who are also pretty great. But regression to the mean indicates that, at best, future generations will inevitably be average, and half will be below average. Especially, and this cannot be over emphasized, when they interbreed.

Add into the mix that nobility is conferred via political maneuvering, and it's not guaranteed that even the 1st generation was all that notable
Perhaps not, but the most successful individuals are generally not the most talented. Rather, they tend to be the luckiest. See, e.g. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/beautiful-minds/the-rol...

In that case it's not helpful to tie it to SQL. As my examples demonstrated, it's pretty useless for SQL database connectivity. If you are looking a general query mechanism it would make more sense to have something that looks like GET with a body.

ClickHouse also supports GET as a verb. In addition to URL length issues the query needs to be URL-encoded which makes it difficult to read and debug.

p.s., It's interesting to see my post downvoted. It's more productive to show why it's wrong. I've worked on DBMS connectivity for over 30 years.
Idiocracy ignores what happens at the other end of the intelligence scale. Being 4 standard deviations above the norm may be detrimental, but being 4 standard deviations below the norm is a much larger hindrance.

On top of this the ratios change as the environment changes. Studies after WWII found a positive correlation between reproduction and intelligence though that seems to have swapped more recently.
I'll have to agree with this. Compiz was great at drawing curious people in but I'd argue that Compiz helped many people write off Linux. It definitely made Windows XP look outdated but after you scratch the surface and adopt Linux, you discover a world of hurt whether it be bad drivers that break your desktop and throw you to a different run level, poor interoperability between the different components or just the general loss of trust when something catastrophic happens like the stupid USB stack corrupting your drive when you copy a simple file (yes this happened to me a few times over the years).

Compiz resulted in tons of Youtube videos showing how cool it is but it was a gimmick. An OS is much more than cool looking visualizations and to that end during the time it was introduced, Linux was less stable and so people come for the looks and then left because its Linux.

I still want to believe that Linux will become the king because we have lost so many freedoms over the years. As a result, every year I install a clean copy of Ubuntu on to my PC, start using it and then stop when I discover some serious bug. After that I put it back on the shelf and wait until next year. Maybe next year it will be better. This whole journey began during the Compiz era.
Horses for courses. We have to admit that it takes a team with more skill to build a nuclear submarine than it does to inflate a dinghy, but conversely, no point paying nuclear engineers for your dinghy company. If you are building dinghies, or indeed mass producing dinghies for small clients, sure, pragmatism is not using complex async code. If you are building a nuclear submarine, the team better have a real good idea of how these parallel systems interact, don't deadlock the cooling system, and pragmatism might be "who knows TLA+?".
It's just packet switching with much larger packets, the streaming you're thinking of is essentially the same, just with 16-50 ms sample size rather than 2-10 seconds.

Hmm maybe you are right and the example is not very good.

Let me try to rephrase it in a way:

I think the main difference for me is that I go to the coach to support me to solve problems/matters by myself and they are there supporting my process but I expect them to have less influence on the actual content/solution itself.
To summarize the coach does not give advices nor they should impose best practices.

While I go to the mentor expecting them to offer me advice and guidance/best practices.

In this I choose (very rarely) a coach to explore problems that I think don't have a universal solution or the solution is subjective like “Should I move to management or continue on the technical path” or “What is best for me: freelancer or employee?”

And I go to mentor to get concrete advice/guidance on specific matters like “How to increase my income as freelancer” or “How to start a new career in X”.

As I write this it seems that for me I see coach as a person that can help me discover the why and the mentor is someone that can help me discover the how.

Just a note on power consumption with regard to heat output. Electric resistive heating is 100% efficient with regard to electricity from the socket. This is the upper limit on efficiency for a computer. This ignores efficiency losses from transmission and from electricity generation. If your electricity is generated by fossil fuels, you are getting much less than 100% efficiency from the energy stored in those fuels.

Heat pumps can achieve greater than 100% efficiency relative to electric resistive heating, because they move heat, rather than do work to create heat. These can achieve equivalent heating at 50% of the electricity utilization compared to resistive heating.[0]

Local fossil fuel heating (e.g. natural gas furnace) is much more efficient than electric resistive heating. The efficiency of local fossil fuel combustion is close to 100% of the energy content of the fuel, as it is turned directly into heat and that heat is dissipated into the home. More than 60% of the energy content used to generate electricity is lost in the generation process in the US.[1]

So, the heat from a computer does offset heating costs, but at less than 100% efficiency. For a small fanless machine, this is not likely to be a large expenditure, but it is valuable to keep in mind that heat from electronics is not "free".

I have the Matrix 4K disc that ostensibly HBO MAX is using for it's 4K version and it's one of the most pristine discs I own. It was the first disc I loaded up on my home system post-upgrade and featured a level of quality of image so high that at one point I stopped to see how many of Keanu's pores I could count.

It looks so blown out in that post that I thought that it was an iphone shot of the writer's screen... I'm still not convinced that it isn't frankly; all those screengrabs look weird to me.

But definitely not impossible that these just looks like crap; streamers seem keenly aware that for the most part their audiences are happy to consume their media as low-contrast Tasty Wheat slop that they half-watch while scrolling insta/tiktok.

It doesn't really look like there's any exposed HV. I'm curious why they bothered to cover up the hood latch at all. I think there's a certain tradition wherein blokes will stand around a car with the hood open and poke at it, perhaps they're trying to discourage that.

We do have kids. If we didn't, I suspect I would have moved on my now. Perhaps she would have too.

There's an interesting set of perspectives around this type of problem in psychology. Whether you look at popular moderns like Alain de Botton, Jordan Peterson, ancient philosophers, religion, etc. there is a recurring theme that commitment to a person matters, and without it, things kind of fall apart.

I find this interesting and compelling. I don't expect life to be easy, and I think welcoming and anticipating challenges is very healthy. This sort of problem does straddle boundaries that I find difficult to define, though. At which point is enough enough? When do we decide the commitment is no longer warranted? How "easy" should a relationship be? If I leave, will I be foolish for seeking anything different?

Not to drag this on - I find the topic very fascinating for both personal and more general reasons. This is a problem I believe a lot of us face. If I can't sove it for myself, I'd be happy to understand it better if only to serve my friends or children eventually.

> People's characters don't usually change or improve.

I wish you were wrong, but this does seem to generally be true. There are exceptions of course, but it seems inadvisable to ever hope for it to happen. It takes incredible work, and it's work that a lot of people don't have the knowledge or tools to understand or work with. Personal growth is perhaps one of the greater challenges in life.

Anyway, thanks for the discourse. I appreciate the advice. I should make apoint to look out for myself more when I sense gaslighting is occurring.
The way I remember it, I never managed to get the original Compiz to work right, the Beryl fork worked out-of-the-box with no hacking around, and then Compiz Fusion (when Beryl was merged back into Compiz) lost like 95%+ of what Beryl could do.
People so desperately want a way to objectively rank themselves against each other that they'll believe IQ is a good way to measure intelligence because their ego needs it to be true.

> Boiling brains down to one number

IQ does measure something, though, and it tracks pretty consistently with that more ephemeral thing that people refer to as "intelligence": if you, personally, found a dozen people you considered "smart" and another dozen you considered "stupid", you'd almost definitely find that the smart ones had high IQs and the dumb ones had low IQs. You might argue about the fine-grained distinction between the smart ones, but you wouldn't find somebody who you considered smart who somehow still had a 50 IQ.

It's a completely different mod scene than it was in the beginning. The modern TR project is just a few years old. Progress is very quick these days, and many of the common showstoppers, such as lack of 3D assets, no longer are a serious issue. The actual bottleneck is lack of quest writers and implementers, something which anyone can learn to do. Progress on exteriors and interiors is far ahead of the released and next to be released areas. Also, they aren't planning on building ALL of Tamriel. TR is taking Morrowind and PT has Cyrodiil and Skyrim (and maybe High Rock).
> That's not so different ethically to what Theranos was doing

No. One is we know we can do OCR, we know we can do AI, it's just an engineering effort to put those pieces together. The risk is schedule risk.

Theranos was hard science. They did not know if they could do what they fraudulently claimed they had already done. They needed scientific discoveries to deliver. The risk was can the necessary technology be invented.
The interesting part for me was the suggestion that over time, the lower demands of school, family and workplaces can lead to lower IQ although the time frame seems pretty short to be genetically significant.

My own experience (in the UK) is that younger people perhaps seem less bothered about grammar, history, philosophy (the classics?) perhaps because they have learned that all information is on the internet and have subconciously assumed therefore that they do not need to learn the application of such knowledge. When I was young I remember my schoolmates lamenting that learning maths was pointless because "calculators", maybe that is coming home to roost now.
If you want a phone that lasts, consider supporting GNU/Linux phones (Librem 5 and Pinephone). They rely on mainline Linux kernel and will receive updates forever.
> Also the composited desktop Aero shipped in Windows Vista in late 2006, the same year as the initial release of Compiz.

Opposite end of the year though since Compiz was released at the start of 2006. Compiz had seen significant development over that year (unlike Windows that only ships big graphical updates in new OS releases). So much so that by the time Vista was out it had already forked a mature competitor: Beryl.

Plus Compiz wasn’t the first compositing Window on Linux either. Just arguably the best in that era.

> I don’t know how much these different compositing window managers inspired each other. To me it seems like there is some convergent evolution.

Technology almost always works that way. But it’s fair to note that Compiz did feel miles ahead of the competition at the time. Which I think is entirely down to its module system. Meaning anyone could build their own effects and not just wait for their OS developers to release a new service pack.
> Computers are getting invisible. They shrink and hide. They lurk under the skin and dissolve in the cloud. We observe the process like an eclipse of the sun, partly scared, partly overwhelmed. We divide into camps and fight about advantages and dangers of The Ubiquitous. But whatever side we take — we do acknowledge the significance of the moment.

They shrink, but they do anything but hide. Computers are freaking taking over our lives. Everywhere you look there's a goddamn screen to gobble up your attention. Hell, even gas station pumps have screens on them screaming ads at you! Here's some places that have computers and screens now:

- Ordering food (in the damn restaurant)

- Car HUD (hello, ROAD)

- Airplane seats

- Security systems

- Phones

- Toothbrushes

- Refrigerators

- Microwaves

- Coffee machines

- Guitar tuners

I mean, come on! Everything you look at, or especially interact with, has now got a damn screen on it. Like buttons and knobs and levers don't work anymore. It's gotta be touchscreen. Fudge!
Yes. Some sectors of society argue that this is on purpose. The Coddling of the American Mind talks about a sliver of this. You can find articles [0] that talk about infiltration of ideologies that destroy people's reasoning capabilities. You can find quotes from those in the US education's past [1], [2] that talk about their vision for students of the future. All that to say, there's a sector of the conservative right that sees something sinister and they've been shouting about it for a half century.

Some quotes for the curious:

From [0]:

John Dewey, Karl Marx, Aldous Huxley, B. F. Skinner, and Benjamin Bloom were interested in a student’s academic achievement only if it would in some way benefit the State. Before a student's cognitive knowledge could be used to its full potential, however, the student's attitudes, values, feelings, and beliefs must conform to that of the State. In his book, My Pedagogic Creed, John Dewey explains:

"I believe the true center of correlation on the school subjects is not science, nor literature, nor history, nor geography, but the child's social activities. . . . I believe that the school is primarily a social institution. . . . The teacher's business is simply to determine, on the basis of the larger experience and riper wisdom, how the discipline of life shall come to the child. . . . All these questions of the grading of the child and his promotion should be determined by reference to the same standard. Examinations are of use only so far as they test the child's fitness for social life."

From [1]:

Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American public school is a school of humanism. What can the theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour once a week, teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?
-Charles.F. Potter: (1930)

In the New Order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society…
-Antonio Gramsci (1915)

From [2]:

John Taylor Gatto’s Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of familiar schooling which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a by-product of rote-memorization drills. Gatto’s earlier book, Dumbing Us Down, put the now-famous expression of the title in common use worldwide. Weapons of Mass Instruction promises to add another chilling metaphor to the brief against schooling.
