+1 on that. I had a Mac Pro 5.1 that was surplus to requirements. Its 10 years old with 64GB of Ram and 2 x 6core processors. I stripped off the OS and installed Ubuntu along with an nVidia 750 - $100. For learning purposes and running hyper-parameter tuning it is pretty robust.
I can't imagine what you're going through, especially since you have kids. But I can leave you with a quote that's helping me through rough times:

"It is not how you go down, but how you come back up."

It will suck in the short term but treat this as an opportunity to work on yourself and become the best version of you. If that means moving, then move. If that means taking risks, take them. If you fail, try again. The effort is worth it. Wishing you the best!
Yes. Initials of authors and contributors.
>The load-bearing pillar of the Russian identity is the idea that we are a nation of defenders, who fought off the biggest invasion in history. We defend, not intrude.

This is because Russian history curriculum conveniently completely skips 1939-1941 period. Russia was the Aggressor in WW2. They turned sides only after being attacked by their ally in crime - Hitler.

>If you remember history, there was another guy who attacked a slavic country, in the morning, without declaring war, hoping for a blitzkrieg. We are that guy now.

Yes, he was called Stalin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland
> It was still hard to get into the social element of the game, because of so few players and such a large map. I think other players tended to be concentrated at the main spawn point, so a lot of the rest of the world was a backwater essentially.

Ah, so it's an MMO then?
I do not consider a messenger "E2E" encrypted if one of those ends is a random person you did not intend to message. The fact that bug was even possible suggests poor engineering standards.
Marketing is also the evil twin. They're both collections of lies told by people looking to manipulate or coerce.

This isn't new, it's just a formalization of cult mechanics contrasted against the memes familiar to modern culture sieved through social science and psychology.

Refining this part of science, with the tools, compute, and and data freely available online, feels like one of Bostrom's black marbles.
Can this run in VR? It’d be fun to have a truly open VR sandbox world. I don’t see anything at first glance though.
Sorry if my comment came off that way, I meant the opposite. I am a strong believer in making software engineering more accessible and as anti-accreditation as you can reasonably get. I even believe that the current medical accreditation system ought to be changed to be more in line like law where medical schools admissions are not allowed to solely control the production of doctors.

What I meant regarding aspiring female engineers is that those going into the traditional CS route should not have their career choices be subtly influenced by existing industry trends and the tertiary education system should do everything it can to prevent that.

Maybe. There was a guy who induced aphantasia after a stem cell transplant and one of the hypothesis is the loss of gut bacteria via antibiotics.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC8143657/

I reversed a life-long case of Prosopagnosia after doing some n-of-1 experiments with replenishing my gut bacteria, so it seems plausible to me that losing intestines could impact this.

I also have a friend had her intestines removed due to Crohn's disease. She had an infection from the surgery that put her in a coma she woke up unable to picture things in her head. Hard to say what caused it.
I feel this way on and off in my life. I have a bunch of friends and we drift in and out of closeness.

Life happens. Some of the friends above are in a weird place now because they blew up their lives and are experiencing crushing loneliness.

Myself, I put too much of myself into work. It's taken years to recover.

I'd grab coffee with you if you want. I find most people pretty interesting.
I use a plug-in 13A unit. It's great for most kinds of cooking - the only time I prefer the performance of my actual stove (a coils-under-glass electric unit) is when I'm boiling water or want a gradual warm-up to low temp. For everything else (searing, stir-fry, deep-fry, steaming), the plug-in induction hob provides better control IMO

The fan and high-pitched pan noise is not my favorite though.
I can relate.

Perhaps instead of focusing your energy on loneliness it would be helpful to ignore it and focus instead on the things that you like and genuinely enjoy. Things that often leave you feeling better afterward than you did before you started. These things can be big or small. For me some examples are riding my bike, drinking a glass of cool water, planting seeds (more or less anything, but particularly tomatoes), walking around the neighborhood, cooking my brains in a sauna, going to the beach. If you can't think of any, then experiment. Check your status before and after each activity. Make sure to keep judgement relative and incremental. Things don't need to blow your mind. Even things that make you feel just marginally less shitty are a great place to start!

Try to focus on those things that "fill your bucket" whatever they are. Consciously spend more time engaging with those things, and spend less time on everything else. Cooking get you down? Stop. Playing chess perk you up? Play more chess... find new venues in which to play chess (or whatever, chess is not for me, just a theoretical example).

As you get better at filling your bucket, you will surely meet new people along the way. Do they fill your bucket? Engage more. Drain your bucket? Engage less.

The whole idea is a bit like Yoga... slowly and gently stretch your time-spent in happier directions.

Another thought... as you meet new people remember that a lot of them won't be a good fit for you for reasons that have 0% to do with you. Don't take it personally. If 1 in 20 new interactions is positive you are doing super fabulous! Stick to it. Those positive interactions will add up. Make sure you have time in your life to spend on them when the do happen. Having a good chat with the barista, be 5 minutes late to your morning meeting and let the people behind you enjoy the anticipation of their morning coffee for a bit longer.

Take your time, take it easy, and seek out fun... genuine fun for you, not what anyone else thinks is fun (a-doy!). People who are your kind of fun will be there when you arrive.
It’s interesting to look at this from the perspective of an experienced .NET developer, because you’re not wrong:

* SQL Server can be incredibly fast with good access patterns, but the rest suggests you didn’t have those.
* Yeah, the repository pattern is garbage. I prefer just define the operations you need and use Dapper.
* I know some on here are wild about Entity Framework, but personally I’d rather write the SQL myself. You need a good mental model of what’s going on under the hood or what you’ve described happens.
* Honestly never used the default test runner because it seems pretty bad. NCrunch, however, is incredible and doesn’t suffer from this.
* I don’t think I’ve ever worked anywhere that used the default logging implementation and yes, that format is weird. (You can, however, step into the logging code if you want.)
* Depends on what you’re doing, but yeah 10,000,000 Task.Runs is not going to perform well. But I’m not sure the equivalent code works well anywhere except possibly BEAM.

So whilst none of these things cause me problems on a day-to-day basis, I can 100% see how inexperienced devs could drive straight into that tar pit.
What I took away from this article is that the author(s) don't seem to have a feedback cycle outside their bubble.

Hopefully the discussion here might help a bit. I read a lot of valid criticism here that should (in best case) already have been incorporated into the thinking process while researching the idea of a 'Market Rank'.

> An object with a higher market value is probably better

That was the moment the article lost me personally.
Define a purpose for yourself and then work towards it. You will feel a lot accomplished as well as fulfilled in life.

Also,
Do you talk to your parents often? If not, then do. Listening to their voice has a soothing effect on one's soul.

I would also suggest that look for alternate dormant company such as books, meditation, healing speeches, motivation talks, etc. That way, you get a daily dose of something to think about and look forward to.

If you like pets, try getting one. That way, you have someone to look after and would also get a sense of responsibility.
I don't know what your situation is. But I've met ( a lot of) people through group exercise.

Eg. Badminton and cycling in Belgium.

PS. If there's a drink after the exercise, stay ;)
Vanced getting you access to other people and their content. Youtube is the shady middleman and a legalized mafia
This game is the worst to compile, makes me glad i haven't picked that language

I can't imagine myself being stuck for 10 minutes to see a change happen on screen

Just take a look at a Veloren dev changing a line, then compiling it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR2WDBMjkh8&t=976s

Rust is not made for game dev, this project is the proof, your progress will stall at some point because you won't be able to iterate on your game anymore!

That's the curse of Rust

Where are the gamedev that announced using Rust from now on 5 years ago? they still stuck compiling their projects!

What a disaster: https://github.com/veloren/veloren/blob/master/Cargo.lock

7.5k LOC just for dependencies..
You are correct for the use case you specified, but his isn't about utilizing the entire grid at once. A common use case would be getting for example Minecraft chunk generation offloaded, or rendering VR content at a very local compute node.
Spammy marketing means the leadership of the company has bad product sense. No point in wasting time on that sort of product.
I just turned 30, and this is the first time I've felt too old for the Internet. I can't even pretend to make sense of this, but it recalls a "how to work with your new gen Z colleagues" sketch I saw. I was astounded that the author is GenX - that was also one of the few coherent points I could pull from this.

The first paragraphs are fine - sure, redefine the founding myth and culture as lore, go for it - but around "memeing normcore into existence" my eyes glazed over.
What Google needs is to do is start taking explicit user feedback. If I click on something and it's a major waste of time, I want to be able to tell Google to never show me this result or the whole domain. Why can't I do this? They are happy to hoover all of my data in the name of "personalization", but there's zero way I can personalize the results myself without resorting to insecure 3rd party extensions.
Pro Tip:

Don't insult people's intelligence then command them to spend hours to prove that you're wrong.

Just start with the assumption that you may be wrong next time.
Gemini takes a while to appreciate.

The first step is realizing that it was deliberately designed to be inextensible. Anything that can be extended will accrue bloat.

The second step is to realize that it's really just plain text. Once you realize that, the choices about what kinds of formatting make total sense:

* bulleted lists, but not hierarchical
* links but they have to be in a paragraph of their own
* preformatted blocks but no italics
* linewrapping but no collapsing of multiple sequential linebreaks
* headings but no boldface
* blockquote with > just like email (*are you listening, @dang?*)

They're the kinds of formatting that impose zero burden on somebody reading through a terminal. In fact, linewrapping is really the only thing you need to do to gemtext to make it readable (versus just "cat foo.gemini"). Rich clients like Lagrange then take this limited set and render it as beautifully as possible on something much more powerful than a VT100.

In a way, this is just an extension of the "first step". If you start allowing rich markup, where do you stop? Not allowing anything that would make the markup itself any less readable provides a natural point at which to halt extensibility, for principled reasons.

I recently discovered that Lagrange will treat a link to an image as a lazily-loaded inline image -- you have to click the link to make the image appear, but it appears inline where the link had been instead of replacing the page that linked to it. I think this is a really beautiful way to enhance the experience for people reading through a GUI without tempting authors to do anything that would burden people who are reading through a terminal.

The only big wart on the whole thing is TLS. It's cute that it solves the TCP truncation problem, but that's a lot of bloat to pay in return. I guess there isn't yet something at Layer 4 that is as minimal, elegant, and battle-tested as wireguard (Layer 3) to take the place of TLS though.
Thank you! My own friends and family were not so supportive, telling me I was going to die or get robbed in my travels and such. That was the first time I realized how much Fox News and really all media affects people.

No, foreigners aren't out to kill you, just say hi.
Pretty sure he was employing “Task.Run” which is… nearly always the wrong thing but does appear in a lot of the early examples.

Thanks for the insight. I'll can try that. Note however that reading from the raw device on the same hardware & OS I hit 5+ GiB/s (IIRC).
> Spammy marketing means the leadership of the company has bad product sense.

I understand this point-of-view.

But this cannot be the sole reason. Are there any other reasons that are concrete, provable?

And this is also not a universal statement. I have seen good products, not limited to software industry, that were excellent, but the marketing was spammy.
No? Server and cloud resources have almost zero marginal cost at most medium sized and above companies unless you are doing something truly intensive like video encoding. For most web apps, you can go a long way by just scaling horizontally and throwing more ram at the problem.

On the hand, you don't have any control at all for the frontend, especially for consumer products.
For my application I'm thinking of serving the help online on my website. It's an opportunity to gain more traffic, thus another opportunity to sell more products.
I thought some of the older ones did (S10/S20), but the newer ones dropped it. Yep: https://www.laserfocusworld.com/blogs/article/14205758/samsu...

Newer android phones do have a LDAF/TOF sensor, but it's much simpler than LiDAR AFAIK.
> I don’t agree with the notion that frontend is easier or that women shouldn’t pursue frontend.

If the comparison is between teaching "CSS, HTML, and Javascript" and "writing CRUD apps in Python," sure, they're about equal.

I think people get their wires crossed a bit though with backend tasks where you might need to debug a race condition, or like, be a Linux expert. Since companies typically pay for backend resources, they're also more likely to assign engineers optimization tasks to reduce costs. These are basically Senior Backend SWE tasks, but people don't stop to consider what a comparable Senior Frontend task might be.

And thinking about it, they're the kind of thing you'd also need to be a Linux expert at. Like, half the problems YSlow flagged on my projects were things Sysadmins needed to handle, like slow DNS, or ETags. So they typically got foisted on me, rather than the frontend engineer.

> it’s a repeated trend that when women enter an industry, pay for that industry in particular goes down

Honestly, I have no idea how one disentangles supply and demand effects, from cultural and regional effects. One random HBR article suggests that comparing locations by woman partipicaton rate reverses the trend, to where more women _increases_ local median wages: https://hbr.org/2018/01/when-more-women-join-the-workforce-w...
> The thing is I don't even like hanging out with people most of the time but I get into this space where it feels like a biological necessity.

I can sympathise with this feeling. I sometimes look at socializing as I do as working out. It makes you feel better in the long run, even if it can feel easier in the moment to push it away.

> Does anyone have any tips on how to give myself attention? Or, in other words, how can I learn to be alone without feeling lonely?

Why isn't the cure to socialize and seek out groups you enjoy hanging out with?
> I found it strange in a confusing/amusing manner, like there is zero politics or patriotism involved in any direction,

Yeah, that's what you want from a retailer.
This literacy is particularly important because people operate in a field fraught with coercive, user-hostile design and scammers.
Yeah that's an unfortunate typo.
I setup newpipe this week thinking maybe I should wean myself off being logged into yt (I've become disgruntled with its actions, and I don't want to contribute to it anymore). "But I can't give up sponsorblock!" I told myself. Ha.

Vanced (and user made hax/mods) was a big reason I chose android. One more major reason lost. Soon I'll be back to walking around with a laptop as a my personal media player.
The raw file contains light level recordings affine to the real scene illumination. (The black point is raised, which is why it's affine, not linear). (Assuming no bright pixels are clipped).

Each rgb channel is a filtered spectrum. But note that the color filters are essentially arbitrary, and only roughly correspond to the color filters of your eyes or your screen.

Also note that some cameras pre-process even raw data, for example with vignetting correction or noise reduction. Some phones even do image fusion and color correction, then re-rawify the data by mosaicing and linearization.
In case you missed it, I was using the example from the parent comment to elucidate the deep-rooted nature of the problem of hoarding.
> Ps: 'untrusting of women' is an alarm bell that makes me think you see women as a class rather than humans, this should be an alarm bell for you too to realise that generalisations about groups of people are always a bad idea.

I may be wrong but reading OPs post led me to believe he is a straight male and does not feel like a relationship with the opposite sex is a good idea right now. I don't believe this is sexist or an over-generalization, just that he is currently not in the right mindset to be able to open up/trust members of the opposite sex. And that's ok. It will eventually pass.
Not the suggester, but "won't do much" is a bit of a heavy critique. It depends on the underlying needs. It may well provide a community, be something OP does not feel the need to be good at and can start from scratch, can be an obsessive sink of time (and money), require learning new skills, etc.

Like dreams, sometimes it is not about the specific activities, but about the infrastructure that is required to make them true.
Hey Internet Person!

First let me say that it's okay to feel this way. Especially since corona hit and it affected all of us, no matter who we are.

Reading between the lines, you may very likely suffer from depression. That is nothing to be ashamed about and nothing that can't be fixed. I would recommend looking for some psychiatric help.

You may not believe it right now, but as a rational person you may accept it as a truth anyway: Your Brain Chemistry effects how you feel and how you see the world around you, to the point that you literally see the world around you as more grey[1].

On a more personal note, having been in a very similar situation, you may try to reach out to old friends you haven't talked to in a while. I have reached out to a good friend I haven't talked to in years and I'm so glad he's back in my life and he was happy to hear from me as well.

I wish you all the best!

We men are meant to be useful and carry others that surround us, which for many men going through divorce is unfortunately limited to family, so it’s natural that you feel an incredible loss of connection when you go from seeing your core family every day to that unit breaking up and giving limited access to your kids.

Since you say you want to be around others, but not necessarily converse all the time I would suggest finding a way to apply something you are good at in a local community.

For instance, every faith congregation or social club have many chores that need to be done. Not everyone need to be the social bunny to be part of the community, it actually need many like yourself.
Listen to some Alan Watts tapes, or get his books if you don't mind reading. I've gotten enough benefit from listening to one of his talks (back in the '90's) that I haven't needed or bothered to read any of his books since then :)
Spending more on retaining developers reduces the cost of hiring developers
I read this right after reading about Tony Hsieh’s last few days - https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-ma....

The author of this needs to seriously think about where this “new management philosophy” might take them and them clients, should they be successful. Better if they weren’t.
Yup. Terrifying that there is a country somewhere where it is normal for retailers to have politically motivated policies on what will be stocked or sold.

Political organisations selling T-shirts that advance their cause? Normal.

Retailers basing stock decisions based on advancing particular political ideologies? Not normal.
This ^ comment may have been a bit too savage. I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry. I'm not right, but I'm not wrong either.
Doesn't that also have the benefit of making the yacht a business expense?
I wonder what happens during crunch?
i pay attention how my kids are doing with their friends, but i am not showing them how worried i am. if they have trouble with their friends or they want more friends then we talk about it and look for activities that provide opportunities for new friendships.
My experience with that is that the attendees know of or attend other mindfulness, or consciousness events, sometimes colloquially called spiritual community. Its a relevant conversation starter to find out where those things are.

There is a parallel lingo and phrasing associated with them, that they gravitate towards if you speak that way.

Its a decent way to begin to see the same people in multiple places, which has a couple of benefits between you and them, as well as others around (or being introduced to others).

And finally, a yoga session is an okay date or social activity to bring someone else to.
Really? We saw how it recently went in Canada!
Rate limiting needs to take into account password spray attacks. Instead of iterating through a series of passwords for a given username, an attacker can iterate through a series of usernames for a common password. Under a lot of rate limiting systems (including the default settings for RDP I believe) this will only count as one attempt on each user.
It’s not a classic example because NYT is (just like Radiohead) giving away Wordle for $0

You don’t think Radiohead has ever taken legal action to protect their IP? Radiohead sued Lana Del Ray because one of her songs sounded like Creep.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with protecting your personal brand.

And it’s even less aggressive with NYT because they can only cease the use of their “Wordle” trademark
It would be neat if the code also applied to the username in the top right so I didn't have to make a spammy comment to see what it gives me. ;)
I do this! There's something about the way he talks that gives me perspective. Hims and Bukowski when I'm feeling particularly dark. The thing is I find myself back to where I started shortly after listening. Maybe thats the point.
