>I don't see any benefit in using a castrated 3D API outside the browser.

Castrated how? A single digit performance loss compared to the most extremely complex graphics APIs which aren't properly cross-platform?

>Want Vulkan/DX12/Metal without boilerplate?

>Just use Ogre or Godot, among endless other options.

"I want a graphics API!"

Ah, is it? Do you have any example of implementing forward+ rendering in pure Qt? No? What about GPU compute? Not that either?

I live in California where it's legal so I can sample the various wares to see what works best. The dab pen's are cheap but much too harsh. Edibles take too long to come on and it's hard to get the dose right. I've gone back to smoking bud, because it works and doesn't feel harmful like vaping oil. I don't smoke everyday. I use it maybe once or twice a week when I get stuck on a problem, like finding myself getting obsessed to solve it by "flailing around." Pot slows me down and helps me see things in a different way. I can't write code while high, but I can think about it differently. I'll look up Pax and Volcano and see how they work.
Yes, that was it! I had forgotten the name (but not the foul taste they left in my mouth). Joyent was who they were when I left.
Once you get used to 220+ ppi, it's very difficult to go back.

I even don't like my 218ppi displays that much, they are a little fuzzy compared to my 300+ ppi displays.

It's not a matter of opinion what is "low" or "high" when dealing with integers for resolution. It's evident that you think a low-res (by 2022 market options) display is sufficient. That's fine, but it doesn't make it high res.

There are people who think an analog serial console with 24 lines and 80 columns is sufficient resolution for text. That's not what's being discussed: simply the resolution of the display in the computer. It's low by modern laptop standards.

Any technique imaging the brain outside the skull is hard. Much of these IR technologies are noble in terms of their general science and engineering learnings, but in terms of practicality, sub-optimal.

It is not about collecting area, but about synchetic aperture [1] alike very-long baseline interferometry (e.g. used by Event Horizon Telescope [2], which is a combination of many radio telescopes to observe the accretion disk around the supermassive black hole in M87 galaxy [3]). For that you need as long as possible distance between antenas, good time synchronisation, and as many as possible pairs of antenas (i.e. baselines) [3].

Though unfortunately advances in radio don't compensate losses in optical and survey quality due to strays. Different sources emit at different wavelengths differently and usually one needs the whole picture (spectral energy distribution) from radio, ir, visible light, uv, x-rays up to gamma-rays to explain the properties of a source.

>While at Google, Mr. Suleyman was stripped of some management responsibilities at DeepMind after the company received complaints that he bullied subordinates

It's honestly surprising to me that bullying stories still pop up with relatively high frequency. Like, in particular with the culture that most tech companies have, do people still think acting like the 'office asshole' commands respect? It sounds like something from the 80s, if I'd see someone act like that nowadays I'd just cringe.
One of the reasons Amazon didn't come to Michigan was because there wasn't enough programmers.

There was actually enough programmers, but they had to compete with automotive wages which are typically above 6 figures.

Ohio doesn't have that industry, so it might be a way to get cheap educated labor that would otherwise move out of state.

Musk may be an outlier. He is part of a collective of libertarian techbros who have taken what they can out of California and are now looking for a new set of suckers. Texas has a history of playing second fiddle to California so they were an obvious choice.

Yes other tech companies are also moving to Austin and I think that is more a sign of some millennials and other young professionals opting to leave California for a lower cost reasonably sane area. Its still does not seem like massive California sized numbers though. We just have to wait and see. I'm still long California though.

I've made a couple attempts in the past to learn why proof of one's address was considered important in the REAL ID spec yet proof that is (and was in 2001) often easier to fake than obtain honestly is accepted.

Is there a good explanation of the reasoning behind this requirement documented somewhere?

I'll agree that your argument that making linux apps easier to write deploy is a good goal. Its not an easy thing when you have a bunch of different windowing libraries (GTK, QT..) a whole host of desktops, multiple distribution channels (flatpack, snap, apt-get...) ususally computing platforms converge on something common, but I haven't seen it in linux. I wonder if I was writing a application for linux, where would I start?

It is a little of chicken and egg problem. Not a lot of users on linux, so not worth writing software for it. Users see there is not a lot of software and might go somewhere else. But there is enough. And most of it is a little buggy and free. Some of the applications are just great (blender, kritta). The core OS is rock solid though.

I've been using it as my home desktop and honestly linux on the desktop is pretty great.

I think it's likely there will be a dope deal at some point where low-earth satellite clusters have to offer sky observation services that offset the loss of fidelity from ground-based systems.

If the satellites can swing between sky and ground scanning several times in a single orbital period, they could use off-peak hours in the early morning to scan the skies.

I don't know if that practically will work out, as Starlink has lower speed of light delays than undersea cables. Accessing content on the other side of the world will become more attractive with lower latency. For instance a lot more people using VPNs to watch BBC.co.uk at 4 am GMT.
Cincinnati (where I live) is about half a year away from completing the largest city financed solar array in the US [0,1]. Ohio gets plenty of sun, in fact it averages more sun than _anywhere_ in Germany which is known for it's solar [2,3].

In Ohio for residential, which is a good bit more expensive than commercial/utility scale solar, the payback period is about 12 years[4], well within the margin of getting your money back and then some.

Even large, damaging tornadoes have quite localized impacts (max of maybe a mile in path width) -- and you don't generally do much more than stay up to building code in order to prepare for one. In contrast, earthquakes devastate entire areas and require substantial changes to building construction in order to protect against them.

The probability of a large, damaging tornado at a particular spot in Ohio is quite small compared with the risk of damaging earthquakes in other locations. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-probability-earthquake-will-o...
I would say all that is subjective regarding what they specified as "build quality". I'll add my own take to it - I got mine early last month and haven't noticed any of those. That said, I do think the battery is the weak spot, but I think part of that is on the OS side (I'm running Pop!OS).
No need for embarrassment but I do wonder where you momentarily thought it was. :)

One night while struggling with a problem for work I took a walk and wandered by where I calculated the IBM 650 must have been located back in the day, hoping for some kind of inspiration, or something. It was a good distraction but it did not work at all.
With guiding you're usually aiming for 5-10 minute exposures per frame. That usually results in each frame having at least several streaks. Sure, those are technically still short and can be cancelled out, but astrophotography is already challenging enough and has plenty of other noise sources without adding more fuel to the problem.

And that's now, when we're not close to the planned tens of thousands of satellites by Starlink above, and other vendors like Amazon only starting to plan their similar programs. That's why early feedback is important - otherwise the sky will be ruined in the best case for decades to come.

Why is the word so bad? Not sure if it's a real word or not, but it seems apt. Someone that is brain dead is referred to as someone in a vegetative state and someone that has some neurons that ceased to function could maybe be referred as neurovegetative. But that kind of makes it sound like the person is completely brain dead. Maybe partial neurovegatative state would be better?

My life expectancy is 85. Does that mean I'm going to die at 85? Probably not. It means that, of the people of my age, gender, and race, the current statistically-based projections are that half of them will die by 85, and half won't. How does that predict the outcome of any individual?

Port of Cleveland is not a big container port like you'd imagine using for consumer goods. It's for supporting industry, mostly steel, through moving commodities. Think a big open barge full of coal, and holding facilities for limestone or iron ore. There's probably a limit to the size of the sort of ship can navigate to the port of Cleveland as well, you definitely can't fit a huge cargo ship in that port.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say that Bitcoin can scale by using 3rd party payment providers? Any Bitcoin transaction will only ever be as fast as the underlying blockchain, which currently processes around seven transactions per second (last time I checked).

Of course proof of stake can be decentralized! I think what you mean is that it's not clear whether a widely adopted PoS based blockchain will end up centralizing power in the hands of a few whales. This is a legitimate concern; however, this threat is no different than the threat of centralization of computing power in Bitcoin. In Bitcoin, this isn't even a threat, it’s a reality!

I'll say it again: Bitcoin and Ethereum are not great currencies. There are altcoins that have far surpassed both of them in terms of achieving security, scalability, and decentralization simultaneously.
> Potentially capable of resolving exoplanets

I was curious about that claim, so I did a bit of research and made a "back of the envelope" calculation. According to Wikipedia [1], the angular resolution of a telescope is proportional to <wavelength of light>/<diameter>. Starlink seems to operate from 10 to 40GHz, so assume the hardware has a 50% design margin so is capable of reaching 60GHz. Visible light has a frequency of 400 to 800THz, so take the middle of 600THz. Using those figures, it come out that the Starlink satellites, used as a telescope, would have the same angular resolution as a 1.3m visible light telescope. Is it enough to resolve exoplanets ? I'm not sure but I think not. Hubble is 6m and can apparently resolve some exoplanets so it's not too far off. Some launches to GEO would boost the resolution to the equivalent of 8.4m in visible. (IANAA)

None of that is build quality.

I believe it for an app that's 100% hitting remote APIs and playing sound. In my case I'm highly dependent on the host OS for about a half-dozen native modules that each have their own ultra-finicky native build environments.
By and large, languages have rules, and exceptions are--well, the exception. Exceptions tend to occur more often in common words (perhaps because children don't learn the exceptions in rare words, unless they're drilled on them--which we do on English in school). One question though is where the boundary is between rule and exception. In Spanish, various subsets of verbs undergo stem allomorphy. This can generally be described as rules (you do have to know which words undergo those rules), but it's unclear where the rules stop being rules and start being exceptions.

Also, while there are often exceptions in morphology, exceptions are almost non-existent in syntax. Again, much depends on where (or whether) there is a distinction between rules and exceptions. In English, unlike some languages, adpositions go before the NP (hence their name, prepositions). But there is at least one English adposition that follows the NP, namely 'ago' (hence it is a postposition). Is this an exception? Depends on your notion of "rule".

Also BTW, the line between spoken and written language isn't really a question of writing, odd as that may seem. Transcribed speech is still an oral language, distinct in many ways from written speech (e.g. written speech, even in newly written languages, tends to be syntactically and often lexically more complex than oral speech in the same language).

Linguistically it's an awkward case. Currently, "debunked" (see also: "busted") is just the latest version of the phrase "scientists say X." The literal semantics and how it's actually used in practice are polar opposites. But "re-bunked" still sound like false information.

Right now the words are mainly used as a cheap way to sound like Carl Sagan or Mythbusters without any of the deep knowledge and research.

"De-debunked" IMO gets the message across, but also highlights the absurdity.

Frozen pipes, and possibly other issues I’m not thinking of.

No need to go to extremes. Turn down the heat during the day and wear a sweater. People have to spend time outside anyway so they should already dress warm.

At night turn off the heat or down significantly more. Have warm comforter. Set the timer to turn the heat on before you wake up.

> From reports I've read the Framework laptop has poor build quality.

I'm gonna be really honest here and say that people have a very distorted subjective idea of what a 'sturdy laptop' is like. A lot of marketing money has been spent to make people think the only way to have a strong object is for it to be made of a rigid metal or glass material, so people go "oh my god the lid can FLEX this thing will break if I drop it!" but that's not at all how things work.

The truth is you can't really just guess at whether a thing will survive falling or whatever by looking at or touching it. The only thing that tells you anything really is actual experience and/or testing.

(personally, I think my framework laptop feels plenty sturdy for all the subjective anecdata that's worth, it's just not designed in a way that's trying to scream at you "you can run it over with a truck and it will work perfectly")
Zoom has better Linux support than almost any proprietary desktop application of similar complexity. For pretty much anything else only a web client is provided. My non-technical wife has no trouble using the Ubuntu version, flipping between using the laptop sound and earbuds. True, she doesn't need desktop sharing and there are issues with that.

The fact that there's any support at all for desktop Linux (beyond "it works in the browser") is pretty amazing, and it's probably better not to crap all over the people who have done 80-90% of the job for the missing 10-20%.
