It's the other way around. Indoor temperature varying with the outdoor temperature is one of those weird things you experience when going abroad from your colder climate, at least in Europe.
Audio is hard in general and emulation probably even more so.

The main issue is that for games you want as low latency as possible, when you control things immediately it's easy to know when actual triggers happens, but for emulation you might need to copy or snapshot the entire state whilst under a strict timing deadline.

The options are, bigger buffers (easier to emulate, more time for things.. worse latency) or smaller ones (less latency, but timing is harder and if there is extra work that has to fit within the deadline).
That doesn't make sense of why the prices increased so much despite storage offering stagnation while NAND flash getting cheaper.

Any way you slice it it's still price gouging.

This is a disingenuous argument.If you want to pay for software or digital goods you already probably have or want a bank account, a paypal or something.You're already in the ecosystem and nobody forces you to use cash everywhere.By the way >it is< possible to pay for digital goods using cash, without a bank account or digital money service: it's called Western Union/MoneyGram/etc.Yeah there are limits and often way more expensive, but at the same time you don't pay with your transaction data, which the bank uses for more than you know.

Let's do the opposite example now: Do you >need< to use anything besides cash when you shop for groceries, pay some toilet tax when you're on the highway, or similar trivial things?No, you don't.The option of providing an alternative payment method is up to the merchant.The only institutions that are required to provide cash options are the government ones(at least where I live).You don't provide that?I sue and I win, for obvious reasons.

People want to think about cash/cashless in terms of black and white, yes or no.I used to be pro-cashless and certainly I am in some regards depending on the wanted product/service.Yet I limited my use to being restrictive because there are way more loopholes to be rendered bankrupt and have no money available.There are certainly risks to cash aswell, and yet more advantages when buying products/services in-person.

Here's a way you can do this with git. This trick relies on `git merge --allow-unrelated-histories`.

Assuming you have repos `foo` and `bar` and want to move them to the new repo `mono`.

$ ls
foo
bar

# Prepare for import: we want to move all files into a new subdir `foo` so
# we don't get conflicts later. This uses Zsh's extended globs. See
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/670460/move-all-files-except-one for
# bash syntax.
$ cd foo
$ setopt extended_glob
$ mkdir foo
$ mv ^foo foo
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Prepare foo for import"

# Follow those "move to subdir" steps for `bar` as well.

# Now make the final monorepo
$ cd ..
$ mkdir mono
$ cd mono
$ git init
$ touch README.md
$ git add README.md
$ git commit -m "Initial commit in mono"

$ git remote add foo ../foo
$ git fetch foo
$ git remote add bar ../bar
$ git fetch bar

# Substitute `main` for `master` or whatever branch you want to import.
$ git merge --allow-unrelated-histories foo/main
$ git merge --allow-unrelated-histories bar/main

# Inspect the final history:
$ git log --oneline --graph
* 8aa67e5 (HEAD -> main) Import bar
|\
| * eec0abd (bar/main) Prepare bar for import
| * 9741d6d More stuff in bar
| * 634ba3d Initial commit bar
* 43be6e9 Import foo

I’ve found that writing mobile apps (especially native apps) is basically de facto “frugal computing.”

Power consumption is a big part of mobile app development.

I haven’t had the opportunity to write stuff that really sucks down a power load.

I have a pretty cool ML app that really sucks down the battery. It can drain 3% of my battery in about 5mins. The phone gets noticeably hot in my hand. I guess they are using their own ML engine, as opposed to the hardware-assisted stuff in the phone.

On the other hand, most games on my phone seem to run cool. I suspect that’s because they leverage Metal.

fun is an important factor. if riding is fun, people look forward to it. i, for one, prefer my bike to driving my car or taking public transport. if riding your old clunker is a chore you'll find excuses at every opportunity and probably stop riding altogether (especially if convenience is also a factor, e.g. if you have to haul your bike out of the cellar, weight makes a huge difference).

also if it was true that ease of use wasn't a factor e-bikes wouldn't be booming.

The tax you refer to is for backing up purchased content on external hdd and such only. You seem to misread the law to cover piracy (sharing with friends).

Ersättningen betalas av tillverkare eller importörer av sådana lagringsmedier som är "särskilt ägnade för" privatkopiering,[1] som tomma CD, DVD, externa hårddiskar, USB-minnen och mp3-spelare.

Another big mistake with defaults is that you need an explicit `server` block with `default_server` for all the `listen` directives you have.

Otherwise if you have a listen directive for some host that doesn't have a default, this server will be used as the default for this particular listen directive.

For example doing `listen 80` and then requesting any non matching host will still return this server.

further, if the programming has no effect, then why are you watching it? Obviously it has some impact on you...

The relationship between TV viewing and violence/aggression is just as scientifically established as the link between smoking and lung cancer. And we've known about it since the 70s.

See the official position of the AACAP, for one source (there are many sources, this is just from a quick google)

https://www.aacap.org/AACAP/Families_and_Youth/Facts_for_Fam...

Hundreds of studies of the effects of TV violence on children and teenagers have found that children may:

become "immune" or numb to the horror of violence
begin to accept violence as a way to solve problems
imitate the violence they observe on television; and
identify with certain characters, victims and/or victimizers

Extensive viewing of television violence by children causes greater aggressiveness
If this follows the same trend as energy, I'm curious about what will happen when the energy and environmental impact has to be factored into the price of internet consumption.

At some points, bandwith will stop being "free", the price of electronics will grow, etc... Then it will reach a tipping point where the masses can not afford anymore what had become "essential".

Millenials and GenZ made lots of fun of boomers in yellow yest complaining about gas price.

I wonder what demonstrations will look like when we can't afford Netflix and Tiktok and Zoom any more.

For me, I'm old enough to remember a time where switching the modem on was a thoughfull decision, because of the phone bill.

But I'm afraid it's not going to make things any easier than it was for the yellow vests who had gone through one or two gas shocks in the 70s...
The 'it just works' part is something that i really struggled with and it tainted my view of stream for good. I absolutely hated when it forced an update download and wouldn't let you do anything about it. tryin to pay a game and then bring forced to wait an hour or something (my internet used to be bad)... was infuriating and ruined many gaming sessions.

I never got a fondness for stream as a result and avoid it whenever possible.

On that note, i was really surprised to find out that epic let's you start plenty of your games without having to open the client. That's a killer feature for me. Family sharing is too.

> And then we have 45 micro services running on a lot of expensive hardware (somewhere) doing less and with worse performance than what we used to do 15 years ago in a monolith on a single server.

And yet, the "expensive" hardware of now is cheaper than your single server from over a decade if you look at the whole picture... a lot of development trends are based on capitalism incentives:

- Outsourcing stuff like server hardware management to AWS is 1-3 FTEs less on your payroll, plus saving of datacenter related cost (climate control, UPS maintenance, Internet uplink, redundant equipment/spare parts)

- "DevOps" aka "let people who have never heard of Unix cobble together Docker containers and CI pipelines until it works Good Enough" is yet another saving of specialized expert staff (SysOp / SRE)

- "microservices" got popular because it's easier to onboard developers and treat them like disposable cogs if your work packages can be really small, with clearly defined interfaces
My impression is most databases are designed fairly haphazardly, and while tables may have fields added, the entity relationship diagram stays pretty static. My rationale is as follows:

1 - A database schema requires quite a bit of thought and up-front design, which we're loathe to do in this agile world.

2 - Schema migrations are hard and scary, so we avoid doing them

Samsung Investigating Fraudulent 4nm Advanced Chip Technology Yields – Report
Too simplistic. Some people are trapped - the availability of even just one alternative job with chance of improvement is not a given. It's question of age(ism), ableness to move to another city / country, and luck.

Or put differently, we're not all around 30 anymore, live in the bay area, and might have family matters, e.hg. a wife that doesn't want to quit a job she loves so you can maybe improve your happiness by 10%.

Also, companies change over time. A great place can become hell with just one bad superior getting hired and poisoning everything.
Ofcourse, it chills faster if you don't apply heating when its cold outside.

However that doesn't dictate inside temperature. Well, maybe if you heat with firewood - you will get high/low temperature rises/drops. But people just like 20+ inside. 22-23C for me is comfort. Currently 24C at office - higher is out of comfort, but happens.

Someone like lower temperatures. Someone wants to save some money and keeps temperature lower than comfort.

And yeah, warmer climate results in colder inside temperature, because houses are not very well insulated and may not have advanced heating systems. But that's just experience from few data points I know of (and some HN comments confirms that).
> Every bill has a serial number, so every bill is unique. This is what it means when money is "marked" in a police investigation, they give bills with known serial numbers to bad actors in a criminal enterprise and then recover the bills at the other end of the enterprise proving the connection.

This has nothing to do with fungibility unless a bill’s serial number affects either your ownership of the bill or whether the bill will be accepted as payment.

Fungibility is related to being indistinguishable for the purpose of economic transactions, not being physically indistinguishable.
The PCI-e and SAS/SATA 2.3 and 3.5 carriers also could use larger - and cheaper caps for that, or, simply add a small lithium coin cell.

Ultimately the true test for the existence of guaranteed rights is if those who you and the majority of people absolutely hate and despise have their rights guaranteed and protected in the same way and with the same vehemence as those of the average Joe.

A right lives and dies by our willingness to protect it for those who we hate.

It's not about the range of weapons but about the reaction time of counter measures.

> One common factor of those that asked for a strong response, which the west mostly gave with the exception of Germany perhaps, was being profoundly ignorant in how to talk to Russia and its interest.

Because normal international diplomatic relations and norms don't apply to Russia; one has to "talk to" Russia in a special way? How about fucking Russia just come down off its high horse, in stead?

> Ukraine has interests too, but there is no solution for them without a dialogue with its neighbor.

There is no solution for them with such a neighbour.

> And just promising to not include Ukraine in a military alliance (it is not just a defensive pact) would have mostly ended the conflict and most arguments. Yet, some people decided not to do that.

Here's what people with a dictatorial mindset[1] just can't seem to get: It's not a matter of what other powers should "promise" or "decide", but what the people of the sovereign nation of Ukraine themselves WANT to do. If they feel that they need to belong to an alliance in order to preserve their national security, then who the fuck is Putin to say they can't? He has his own nation to run; he is not the dictator of the Ukrainians. (Yet. :-( )

> You can continue to protest, but you can't be breaking the laws forever.

One of the reasons the right to protest is a fundamental one is because laws are made by people, for people, in the service of the public good and well-being of the citizens.

If the people protest against the laws then that's their right, the people and their will is above the law, the law is not above the people's will as a whole.

This is almost universally true, and you cannot make the argument of 'shutting down the right to protest' on the pretext of breaking a law, because protests are ultimately motivated on laws or policies being changed.Nobody protests forever.

As a consumer you might really not bother, that's your choice of course.

As a developer I'm working with large amounts of data totalling some dozens of TB compressed. I don't have the option of lossy-compressing it since bit-by-bit reproduction is part of the constraints. I don't want to store it uncompressed since that also increases I/O times. CPU is simply not the bottleneck anywhere along this line. And flac works great. :)
I feel you.

Back in 2012 to 2015 I worked most of the time I think in the radio lab at the company I worked for at the time. Temperature was often above 30 degrees in the summer. I didn't think much of it back then, went into office, started working and forgot everything but after a while I realized I was drinking 1.5l water during the work day without needing to visit the restroom and I would be exhausted when I came home.

It was noisy and warm but almost no interruptions and still very nice compared to insulating an attic in in the summer (I've done that too so I know.)

(This winter I tried working from the garage in December but at below 0C it gets impractical even with really warm clothing.)

Anyway, I just started the first job I’ve been able to work in two years with enough salary to pay the debt off with my first paycheck, but because I couldn’t for so long they have permanently closed my account and banned me from their service.

All that matters is, imported from Ireland, or not.

More particularly: American dairies have to feed their cows subsidized corn (maize) or be uncompetitive, which makes the butter markedly lower quality. Some American dairies actually dye their butter yellow. (Note that "Amish Roll" butter is the same, just sold in a different shape.) Certain boutique dairies do pasture their cows, and charge a premium price, but supermarkets mostly don't stock that.

In Ireland, cows eat grass. The US also gets butter imported from Poland, which is probably OK too. Neither government massively subsidizes maize.

To get a tolerable price in the US for Irish butter, you have to buy it from Trader Joe's, which is sort of like Aldi's in Europe. (Complicated story there.) [Edit: Or Costco, looks like.] Likewise, Parmesan cheese from Parma, Italy.

For many decades, the US government was telling Americans that saturated fat, as in butter and lard, was bad for their health, causing circulatory system disease. This, it turns out, was never true, and has long been known within the US Food and Drug Administration to be untrue. The diseases were, it turns out, caused by trans fats and sugar, both of which have been massively promoted. Trans fats were mostly banned in 2017, although certain companies get waivers to continue poisoning people.

Tl;dr: eliminate unnecessary sugar, add butter and lard from Ireland or other non-US sources.
