My maximum spec Lenovo P1 Gen 1 that I have been using for the last 3 years has been really underwhelming. It feels just very average. No premium feel whatsoever. XPS13 by comparison feels a bit more premium.

Most damning, out of the two M2 SSD drives in Lenovo P1, the main one was some no name Chinese make that failed without a warning after a year. For a premium model that is just unacceptable. Secondary drive is a WD that is still alive.

By comparision 10 year old Dell Precision M6700 and M4700 are built like tanks have ports and upgradability to the max. Same goes for Lenovo T440p that I bought for 200 Euros for my kid's schoolwork. Same goes for older HP ProBooks.
Another kid has a Macbook Air M1 and that is just alright.

The laptops from early 2010s just feel sturdier and better built.

The question is which will be the well built professional Alder Lake laptop to get? Will it be Lenovo, Dell, HP, Asus maybe MSI or maybe even Framework?

Intel 12th gen offers some impressive gains over AMD and 11th gen Intel so it makes sense to wait.
It is possible for a lot of vehicles, but at the same time there are companies have been trying to make self maintenance and repair difficult.

I'm a millennial with kids. I've been predicting that the world ends in nuclear holocaust for the last 15-20 years or so, since I was a teenager. My wife and I had the "If the future is going to be as bad as you predict, why bring someone new into this world?" conversation before we chose to have kids.

The simple reason is that if we don't, we lose by default. Survival is the Great Game, the one that has been going on throughout history and will continue to go on for as long as life continues to exist. In the U.S. we've been lucky enough to not need to play the game for the last 3 generations or so, with survival basically assured, and so a lot of people have forgotten how to play. In its absence, we've made up a lot of other games, like "Will I get more karma on Hacker News?" or "Will I get promoted at work?" or "Will I get rich by picking the right cryptocurrency?" But it's worth remembering that these are games, on some level their results don't matter (certainly not if there's a nuclear holocaust), and we may be once again called on to play the Great Game again.

So I just try to be grateful that I don't have to play the survival game right now, while keeping perspective and remembering that that can change in an eyeblink, and trying to keep my wits and skills sharp enough that I could pick it up again if needed.
> History shows that targeting civilians is by far the most effective to make the opposition concede.

Judging by how WW2 went, history seems to show the exact opposite.
Electric repower of classic cars is a thing. VW Beetles and Mustangs are popular targets. I've also seen everything from a 2CV to a Jaguar MK IV.

It's just a charger, an inverter, battery, and drive unit (motor). Apparently the electric brake assist off the prius is plug and play due to how failover mode works when disconnected from a main computer. I suspect a lot of older cars will end up repowered by an electric motor simply because people love the car, not the engine, nor the endless tinkering to keep it running acceptably, and all the oil and grease involved.
Is it hard to determine the difference between The National Enquirer and Nature?

Bias and lack of integrity is not actually very hard to spot.

It's ultimately nuanced, but it's not rocket science.

The challenge is not really with institutions, there are not that many of them, but rather with social media, individuals, commenters, state actors posing as 'regular people' etc..

Weird. I do it all the time, without any grief. I just tack (he/him) onto my Zoom call name. That's what most people would guess for me, but it's not always obvious, and it saves the embarrassment of somebody having to correct me if I guess wrong.

It's certainly not like "expressing public support for sports teams". It's useful information: you're gonna reference people with pronouns.

I don't know exactly what feature they were turning on and off. Most programs let you type whatever name you want, and adding your pronouns to it is trivial. (It helps that they're usually short and don't take up a lot of real estate.)
What’s a good high perf laptop in 2022 that manages high load for hours (with power cable) without being noisy or overheating/throttling

The Dell precisions I have had have been crappy with swelling batteries after a year or so of hard use. The current one has had two battery replacements with touchpad and keyboard replacement, within the warranty period. I just recently swapped the CPU fan. The last precision before that had to get a screen and motherboard replaced.

Anything that has proper cooling and latest gen CPU seems to be plasticky gaming models (Alienware, Legion, ..). No one makes a good developer workstation for 99% stationary use it seems. Yet almost all developers I know use external power, keyboards and screens almost all the time and just occasionally move between e.g home and office. The niche of “movable workstation” seems underserviced despite a huge market, right?

I remember in the early 2000s there was a similar reaction to Harry Potter. My family attended a rather extreme church at the time. One day the pastor started the sermon with: "We need to talk about Harry Potter". I thought "Ohhh nooooo, here we go".

He proceeded to berate the congregation, reminding every one that Harry Potter is a fictional children's book. Witches aren't real. Wizards aren't real. You know who is real? Satan and he's coming for ya, but not thru this fairytale book. Always thought that was pretty funny.
Strategic goal is collapse of Russian's economy. All these actions by Western companies contributing more than initial sanctions on oligarchs.

For most companies, early exit from Russia market is a good idea. They avoid tarnishing theirs reputation and Russia market is already half-dead. Even if Putin die today, these companies will not come back anytime soon. Russia just did 30 years reset.

While I used this example, which one could explain as intentional for various reasons. There are myriad other examples where there are dual languages being interwoven across google properties. Including minutia in one language, but the body content in another.
Facebook/Meta's properties are the worst for this however and will intermingle languages frequently despite being an account-based service (literally ignoring the user's preferences in favour of IP-based guess work.)

Back to Google - Algorithmically there are likely straightforward reasons for why this is happening. Clearly the contents of the pages are composed from a mixture of sources, for reasons unknown these sources may not be able to detect or receive the localisation settings of the end user. Recent changes to privacy protections and cookie limitations may also be a contributor to these issues. Including the obvious: getting ads in the wrong language.

I am... dubious of the actual danger EMP poses to submarines. If they were surfaced, especially if they were attempting to recieve radio communications, sure. But a submerged submarine would be extremely well shielded.

The real question would be whether a submarine captain would be willing to press the button based on radio silence alone.

Putin Reportedly Placed Two FSB Heads Under House Arrest
An important difference between CockroachDB and TiDB is that the former has an embedded key-value store; everything runs in the same process.

TiDB is split into multiple parts: TiDB proper (stateless SQL/query plan layer), TiKV (the key-value store), and PD (placement driver, the main control plane and metadata layer). TiKV also isn't a pure key-value store, as it handles some particular query operations that can be "pushed down" from TiDB to reduce network round trips.

FoundationDB's role similar to TiKV. It's a pure key-value store with replication built in.

I think it is reasonable for group of libraries to have some central storage where they move 1-2 copies of old books and then get rid of rest. I think that is not excessive requirement. Ofc, that does mean need to have larger group of them working together.
Very unlikely that poisoning Zuckerberg would lead to war. A warrant for the arrest of the person who poisoned him, certainly, but not war.
Why are you so limited in imagination? This is a fun car which statistically won't be driven every day. Just like Ferraris and Paganis, this is a weekend show-off trophy car.

When people say electric car will outlast ICE what do they mean exactly? I'm driving 10 y.o. Honda and with my usage I think rubber and plastic trims will fall apart and the body would rust much sooner than its engine or gearbox will fail.
All the parts like upholstery, suspension wear as much on electric as on ICE I would think.
No one replaces those parts, does it mean you'll be driving your electric car till your sit falls through the rusted floor but the engine still runs smooth?
Does your gym membership give you access to only one exercise bike?
I was also a little confused by their comment too, but I assumed they were imagining that the extension would cause the site to fail to load if the user started adding custom scripts into the page somehow. That doesn't mean that any data is sent to Facebook's servers telling them that the user tried to do this, but it would give Facebook confidence that only unmodified web apps are running.

Of course, all this presupposes that the user has to install the extension to use WhatsApp on the web, which isn't the case. However, the extension could theoretically be made mandatory if it contained a load of obfuscated code that the web app was dependent on. That would basically mean implementing a type of DRM in the extension, and maybe there is some way to use EME to achieve that at a lower level.

If a website ever started using techniques like that, then that would be the point at which to complain about disempowering users. Fortunately this plan doesn't do that, as you say, and merely allows users to optionally confirm that they are running the code they requested.
This is really neat, although I tried for 6+ months to get the SBC, NAS case, and other accessories before I finally gave up. Something was always out of stock (usually the NAS case). I'm sure my timing was bad, but I didn't care enough to write a watcher bot.

> But not to the core values of middle eastern Arab countries

Source, dearly lacking. Though I'm uncertain how you would support this claim. I tried digging up some examples, but the best I found was a list of countries [0] supporting 'right to return' laws with accelerated naturalization if you are of the 'favored' ethnicity. I don't see any arab or middle eastern countries on this list. I sincerely would appreciate any supporting articles you have towards this claim.

I agree liberal values must be defended. I just don't believe illiberal methods such as those described in the OP are effective methods of doing so. I think the world is growing more concerned with things like LGBT and women's rights in large part because of the freedom of exchange of information, ideas, and experiences. These are accelerated by both the internet and multicultural cities and nations which aren't possible with ethnicity-based immigration laws.

You're right I should not have alluded to the Fourteen Words, I could have picked a better example. The similarities in attitude frighten me, however. Elevating the safety and prosperity of ethnic group A to the detriment of group B is not promoting or maintaining a liberal way of life, despite what we might want to call it.

> The enmity is baked into the Koran and therefore approximately as old as Islam.

I won't rehash my previous response to this idea, but leave a hopefully unbiased wiki link [1] on the subject with just one small anecdote. The holiday of purim is an entire commemoration of the 'elimination' of a certain peoples. Does this mean a certain enmity is baked into the Torah towards Amalekites? Do you think this history actually gives you a negative bias towards the present day descendants of Hamman?

“A rich few” maybe on a global scale. Out of people I know who have one, I think the person with the lowest-paying job is a bartender in the Midwest. It’s comparable to a nice home weightlifting rack. It’s half the price of a budget motorcycle.
The choice is to stay at home, where you are very unlikely to get in a car accident, or to drive a car, which greatly increased the risk of accident and death.
> Ukraine passed laws banning the Russian language

This is totally false.

Ukranian is Ukraine's official language. But Russian was allowed in "courts, schools and other government institutions in areas of Ukraine where the national minorities exceed 10% of the population" when Crimea was invaded [1]. That law was repealed, of course. But Russian was never banned.

Most recently, Ukranian was given primacy in "media, education and business." But again, not even talk of banning Russian in any meaningful sense.

I know I am playing Devil's Advocate here, but what about the guy who was mining crypto on his Tesla? That was definitely not a Tesla-approved change.
While Go is definitely more verbose, Python benefits from decades of development of common libraries (requests, attrs, click, SQLAlchemy, Django ORM/REST framework, etc) that have become the de facto standard - there is a LOT of code hidden behind those simple interfaces and the hyper-dynamic nature of "clever" Python libraries make them mind-crushingly hard to grok.

I've developed in Python for >6 years, with tons of deep exploration of the common libraries, and been working in Go for like 3 months - in terms of my ability to understand them, I'll take most Go libraries over Python any day.

Nukemap seems to agree that a surface detonation would irradiate a much wider area than an airburst.
They've already had thousands of casualities, including two generals and other high-ranking officials[0]. I wouldn't say they are playing mental games with the rest of the world. It doesn't even look like China, supposedly their number one ally, is on board with all of this[1]

Clearly, Russia's army is having a lot of problems, and Putin is not that mastermind that some media segments claim him to be.

I believe this is directly correlated to the amount of people that speak English. Eg. If you look at Russian tech, they are very aware of state censorship.

China, not so much.
This sounds amazing. I had no idea such a site existed. Thank you.
Excuse me, I should have said that I was responding to your recording of synchronicities, not those other things.

You seem to decide what to notice in an ad-hoc way which means you'll be heavily influenced by what you want to notice. If you had made a hypothesis after wearing a bowtie, that you would see a bowtie wearing person on TV when coming home, then you would also have noticed the times when there was no synchronicity and could isolate your personal sensitivity to it from its actual occurrence. As it is, I don't think you can make any conclusions about nature from that record and the 5-day cycle might be nothing more than your fluctuating interest in finding them.

There are standards under consideration for just this purpose. See this RFC: https://www.transportation.gov/v2x
In addition to the root hints, you should also download the DNSSEC anchor key (available on the same site as the root hints). That will let you detect manipulations of records that are DNSSEC-signed.

Otherwise, you could spin up your recursive resolver on your cloud, VPS, or other hosting provider of choice, and then use that.

You're not going to get a "natural sound" out of pretty much all of the digital pianos out on the market. Even the pretty pricey ones.

What you can do however, is try hooking up Roland FP-30 to a computer and using the computer to generate sounds (so called VST).

I'm visiting relatives for a few weeks, and they happen to have FP-30X (same action), the built in sounds are absolutely god horrid (they are so bad I consider them useless, outside of maybe the rhodes sound), but I'm hooking it to my laptop which has Garritan CFX Concert Grand (full version), Ivory II grand pianos and Pianoteq.

Garritan CFX being the overall most realistic. But you can't go wrong with Ivory II either as it will be a massive upgrade compared to any built in digital piano sounds.

So the full stack would be:

1. The best action you can get (the built in DP sounds don't matter since they are all going to be some gradient of suck anyway)

2. PC with audio interface with very low latency drivers

3. Garritan CFX
Also note that the Python example naturally has no exception handling, while Go "has to" handle the errors (enforced by convention and linters, you could always just throw them away)

also it's only one more line, but they didn't even bother to print the response

once you look at the fact that Go has to have `func main()` declared, the response printing, and the error handling, Go only has a couple more lines than Python

The company doesn’t have to… unless the employee decides to leave for that reason. Now adding an extra 7% is not about inflation but about retaining (good) employees.

I imagine that for bad or not good enough employees, the decision is rather easy for companies: let them go.
