I doubt that. I bet if you pondered, you would remember having taken all sorts of steps to forming relationships in the past. These might not look like what you're imagining, and certainly you'll have to do something differently now.

But see my reply to another comment below, re: friendships don't happen by accident.

And fwiw, I don't know you, but I believe in you. You can have more close friends in the future. You're capable of the work necessary.
you are down voted like crazy, but i have to say i agree with you.
ukraine can not win this war. no way. so why prolonge it for motnhs, years even? so many people will die .

but you cant say this nowadays or youre a kremlin spy. like you couldnt be critical of the covid vaxxes without being a conspiracu theorist...
My desktop machine caught fire one day while I was using it. The graphics board connector started burning. I immediately pulled the plug on it, which put the flames out, and put the machine outside.

When I got the machine repaired, I bought some sheet steel and it now sits on that instead of the wood floor. The case was metal, so I was lucky there. I'll only be buying metal cases for my desktops from now on.

I was very lucky I was in the room when it ignited.

He s not a psychologist in general so not sure why he s an expert to explain russian "hostility"

And then there defenseless defences like this:

> The third factor that Perry pointed to in the poisoning of US-Russian relations was Washington DC’s support for pro-democracy demonstrators in the “colour revolutions” in former Soviet republics including Georgia and Ukraine. Perry agreed with the ethical reasons for backing such revolutions but noted their severely damaging effect on east-west ties.

which are plain racist (east==authoritarian)
Medieval Christians weren’t nearly as hostile to pagan works as you imply. Julius Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil were regularly copied and read. (And the enthusiasm with which Arabic translations of pagan Greeks like Aristotle and Ptolemy — and Muslim thinkers as well — were translated into Latin in the 12th Century certainly doesn’t reflect some “nothing but the Bible” mentality.)

The problem with Greek works is that they were no longer readable (since literacy in Greek disappeared with the fall of the Western Empire), and so there was no interest in copying them.
Neurons don't know they form part of a consciousness. On the other hand, we can't communicate with our neurons. It could be that an emergent consciousness exists for which we are the neurons and neither it knows we exist or we know it exists.

You don't say. I checked one of their basic refrigerators ("REFRIGERATOR WITH BOTTOM FREEZER") and the quote came out to $18,499. At that price, I have to wonder, is the increased reliability worth it? For a refrigerator that lasts twice as long, I'd only be willing to pay 50% more compared to a regular refrigerator.
You taught me a new word today. Props for creative use in context too, I might add.
With laser drilling, geothermal is no longer geographically dependent.

That will, of course, still need to be developed to production. But it is a (large) incremental process improvement, not a whole different technology.

First you said hydrolysis was not practical at all. Today you say 200 MW facilities are not big enough. What will you say tomorrow? Why not admit it now?
Didn't know it existed, perhaps I would've used it. I like hckrnews.com interface, but wanted some help to reduce my screen time.
I wasn't familiar with Speedify[1]. It looks like a paid VPN service.

A few years ago I lived in an apartment with a complicated bonded WAN setup with the help of some Juniper devices. I was hoping this would be something like a turnkey multipath TCP setup that would run on consumer hardware.

It looks like OpenMPTCProuter[2] has made some progress in this space, if anyone is interested.

Cloud costs, basic incorporation fees, etc are nothing compared to labor costs, for example, or what it will cost to keep a roof over your head while you build out your product and get traction. Those credits et al are peanuts by comparison.

To be clear - my original comment wasn't really intended to disparage incubators, accelerators, etc, but rather to say that you can spend a lot of time playing the whole startup game where often you are better off to just keep your head down and focus on your own work.
it's not cringe to posit (yes, even in flowery language) that world leaders sometimes make decisions that don't resolve to pure dollars and cents. That mythos actually drives the hearts and minds of people all around the world including in Moscow.
By those kinds of metrics, Tokamak Energy haven't "achiev[ed] anything useful" either.

Note that both companies are aiming to build a tokamak using high-temperature superconducting coils, which will facilitate energy gain in a small, high-field tokamak. CFS has built the coils, but no tokamak yet. Tokamak Energy has built a tokamak, but it doesn't use HTS coils yet, it uses standard/super-inefficient copper ones (they're developing the HTS coils as a separate project and expect to marry them in a future prototype). This prototype has the same "make it up on volume" problem, it's just lossy in a different way.

Both have made important advances that demonstrate critical components that will be necessary to do the full thing, but different ones, and neither of them has demonstrated everything. If anything, CFS's piece is arguably more important, because other copper-magnet high-field tokamaks have been built before (e.g., Alcator C-Mod at MIT, essentially the predecessor to CFS's prototype), but nobody has built a full-sized HTS coil before.
I played a visual novel called Raging Loop in Japanese. The game relies on lots of Japan cultural stuff and native language puns. The HUGE script was translated to English by one guy who did his best but a lot was lost. Typos, awkward sentences, parts that don't make sense.

And yet the English version has high ratings on metacritic and Steam. Clearly the majority didn't notice or care. Maybe a good story overcomes an average translation.
"personal stuff" and "private forums" is probably as private as it gets, for being something accessible on the web, and I wouldn't call those publicly available, as you'd need to pass some sort of authorization/authentication to be able to see it. Or I gravely misunderstand your comment.
Plenty was written about the message in the third book, in particular. The Pullman books just haven’t had as much cultural staying power so the debate about them isn’t being reinforced.
Search engines are filters: They filter the entire Internet down to just 5-10 links using various standards. I wish accuracy was an even higher priority for them.
Wordel seems completely nonfunctional on iOS chrome. Can’t type anything in..
Welp. Using the official Youtube app is a miserable experience. Guess it's time to check out NewPipe again.
It didn't have one, which means nobody had rights except the creator.
I read the first design principle and I'm already done. The programmer should the last person to trust.
Can you point to any public codebases which illustrate this approach in Python? I would love to see some of these principles in action.
I agree entirely.

Now, Blake wasn’t destitute. He and his wife had a good life. He had friends and patrons and customers. He made most of his money engraving and illustrating other people’s work. E.g., Edward Young’s Night-Thoughts — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-Thoughts. Blake didn’t make much money from it, but today the poem is mostly remembered because of his engravings.

Once we invented capital, we used to do this with patronage — the artist had to please their patron. More civilized cultures IMO do this with public support for the arts. Almost any major city has a library supported by tax dollars, public sculpture and artwork likewise. Amongst richer societies, I believe the USA does this less well than many. It’s difficult for it not to turn political, or for groups not to get up-in-arms because the public art doesn’t pay sufficient homage to their diety of choice.

But yes, as I’ve said before, we’re more than rich enough as a society to pay any artist to do whatever crazy thing they fucking want to, and we’d all be better for it.
TL;DL? tough to scan an audio 24m long
The only reason I heard Flash described as a piece of shit back in the day was because of the security nightmare surrounding it. Apart from that it was kind of cool because it was about the only way you could have bells and whistles on a website.

In the heyday of Flash, the internet itself was an entirely shitty experience performance-wise. Nobody had any expectations. My connection was so slow that I could watch images load one line at a time.

Then we had a few good years of fast computers and decent connections before code bloat sucked the air out of it again.

It's hard to generalise but where I have seen no-code succeed is with non-tech teams automating away some of their monkey work without having to come up with a budget for a developer or buy in from management. In that situation nobody cares if the app takes 5s to run when it could take 1s.
> Since they link to a Ukrainian Red Cross site... does anyone whether that's the best organization to donate to for humanitarian aid to people in Ukraine?

Well, Ukrainian Red Cross & international Red Cross sometime acted controversial in Ukraine, but its only You who may decide how to help Ukrainians.

What would the point of this be, exactly?
Upserts are more powerful because the client can always generate a new uuid to get the POST behavior you desire, but the reverse is not the case: there is no straightforward way to safely retry timeouts, partial success, side effects, etc.

You say the same request has a different impact on the system, but what that means is the system converges to the requested state.

Maybe this is overkill if your retry strategy is to have a user in the loop, but I don't see how it's simpler for the client even without any retry behavior (if/else new/reuse uuid vs if/else put/post).
MAngband and ADOM taught me touch typing (and the README taught me the most useful exercise for treating carpal tunnel).
Why can't intmax_t stay intmax_t when bigintmax_t is introduced? What code actually needs to know the size of the largest integer type supported by the current compiler?

Also, there's already the possibility that someone has defined a struct containing two ints to act as a 128bit integer, intmax_t is already sometimes smaller than the largest integer type.

Is intmax_t supposed to be the largest integer in the standard or supported natively by the platform? If it's the second, leaving it unchanged when introducing larger ints wouldn't be a problem.
My cheap gas stove heats my cast iron just fine. Induction seems to have standardized on ~7" and anything more is thousands of dollars.
These are valid points. I was just responding to your statement that their time frame is "achievable if they don’t actually try and hit net energy gain." They are trying, and are likely to accomplish net gain about as fast as they say they will.

They actually have a fairly practical-looking design though. ARC will use FLiBe for tritium breeding and coolant. That will surround an inner reactor wall that's 3D-printed and replaced annually. MIT already demonstrated joints in the superconducting tape, allowing the reactor to be opened up to replace the core.

Economic viability is an open question for all tokamaks. Some of the other designs would have a better chance of achieving low costs if things work out, but there's a much bigger question mark on the plasma physics.
Firefox mobile with ublock, no YouTube app at all. Suck it google.
Google Sucks.
I think it’s more about the fact that a dude who loves words and is a great programmer made this great word game, and happened to be conveniently named Wardle, in order for this nice little pun on his name to incur…
>but their "reviews" did nothing to help me.

Last time I checked they had a whole table with various models and their ratings. What more do you need?
Yet Columbia is growing rapidly, per the article, and there has been no such reaction. Is there any evidence supporting this claim?
Has anyone done any better at the FS layer?
> Because casting requires usage of Google API's and NewPipe is privacy oriented.

Do you happen to have a link to a GitHub issue or some other background? I'd like to learn more about this, I was under the impression cast-type devices (including Chromecast) usually implement DLNA which should be interface-able without any proprietary APIs. This is just from vague readings and recollections though.
Nope. That allows a lot of bright kids with little study discipline to leave it all to the last week and then have a marathon cram session - which often fails them. With a monthly exam they would be forced to do a 1 month cram, then a 2 month cumulative cram etc etc. Repetition binds the ideas.
That just means your data should have more context than Xinjiang. This is like saying the continent of Europe doesnt use the same tz, since the geo data logged is only in "continent" units
They're like $5000.

The side burner of a $150 grill does a fine job, but can't find a wider-diameter induction.
> Casting definitely never ever worked for me, not even once.

How did you cast it? It worked perfectly when I casted it with Kodi.
I am equally appalled. Your origin is immaterial.

Before you insinuate anything in the future, step back and think -- is this true? Did I bother to investigate further? You made insinuations based on vague associations and no evidence at all. Insinuations are deadly because you don't even have to worry about something being true or not because once you've planted an idea, it's there.

Comments like yours create seeds for narratives that get planted and reinforced. You might not care, but many of us have to live with those narratives thrust upon us.
Foreign fighters in Ukraine are to sign indefinite contracts. Some have refused
Yes, but less so. Much of the chemical energy and ignition potential is removed by discharging the battery, but many of the remaining components (electrolyte as an example) are still flammable.
that's not quite right. Bellovin et al in the late 80s early 90s really made a big push for authentication infrastructure (SPKI). but at the time PKI was being held hostage by ITAR (I remember sending off to get permission to use the RSA library, and getting something back several months later.

so yes, many of the people working on these things didn't have a security mindset (I had unix accounts at all kinds of random places), but some did...and the US DoD really threw cold water on the whole business
I should specify I was talking about chromecast specifically - I think it may support other protocols.

That being said, I can't find the cast button you're talking about.

I also can't find the sharp edges you mention[0] could you give other examples? In my experience I've just had it do what it says on the box with no fuss.

[0] though I'll admit my tastes are minimalistic and I avoid cloud tools as much as possible - either or both of those may color my views.

For example, I see not having access to Youtube account information as a positive.

There's a TV show in the UK at least called Lingo that predates it by several years. It's literally the exact same game.

No, easier to just target the Earth than some random invisible speck in empty space along the way. Earth is easier to aim for and you can build a bigger dish.

The OP says Columbia is growing rapidly, yet there has been no such reaction. Who are these "elitists"? Can you cite such a reaction?
A great issue for me with NewPipe is the fact that it does not support signing into an account. The developers claim it's a feature that will not be implemented.

Without the great music recommendation system I might as well just listen to my Jellyfin song collection. What value does YouTube even have without recommendations?
I read a somewhat long discussion on it a while ago on Github, I'll edit when I find it.

Found it! The discussion was regarding Chromecast specifically,so I don't know about other cast setups.

Also is from Nov 2021, so possibly out of date at this point?

I've linked to the concluding comment here, I found the whole chain worth reading however:

https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/668#issuecomme...
I spent a few years in an office before going remote and this was 100% my experience.

The endlessly proclaimed, robotically repeated benefits of office work -- the vaunted "serendipitous encounters", "water-cooler conversations", and "impromptu lunchroom innovation sessions" -- they all involved nothing but small talk. All meetings were calls. No meaningful thinking or decisions occurred in-person.

When everyone joined me in working from home in 2020, the main thing I noticed was that people stopped trying to force down my throat all the mindless, unjustified, undocumented decisions they made in the office. I finally got a chance to use my voice to make the org stop being so dumb. And people were grateful.

I think people mostly make this "benefits of the office" stuff up to rationalize getting out of the house, away from their spouse and kids, and into the local urban center with all their favorite food trucks.

There are probably some industries where it has real benefit, like artistic ones, but for the most part I don't think SWE falls in that category.
Have you not heard of the immensely popular man-between-the-first-hop-attack where hackers physically attach another hop between your server and its gateway?
That's partially true for propaganda used to drive population's support, politicians of that caliber don't get to their positions by being hopeless romantics and idealists.
Congrats on the loss! Just wondering did you notice a decrease in your energy levels, either during gym workouts or just more generally through the day?
Ukraine has only 1, totally reasonable demand—Russia needs to get the fuck out. Maybe they should get their one demand instead of Russia getting their 4.
LabVIEW is stunning. Also works great for engineering since visualizing control theory is important in real-world scenarios more than it is in virtual.

The newPipe app did identify the usual cast targets on my local network, but everything went downhill from there. It's a shame that this sort of nonsense has wasted the time of many a user and not contributed to a happy new eco system.

Maybe now that Vanced is toast, someone will step up and lay the pipe into newPipe to get it working properly? Is this just wishful thinking? We need a hero..
As others have noted, NewPipe lacks a lot of functionality, polish, and just generally breaks far too frequently. I'm in the tech industry so I can deal with the app breaking occasionally, but during my stint using it, it was almost every month that it broke. My girlfriend who has some technical knowledge just gave up on it because it was too frustrating that it kept breaking, and not only that, the devs urged users to download from GitHub instead of F-Droid.
Sergey Brin uses his yacht for disaster relief. He has a charity that sends teams around the world to help with disasters.[1]

He also has a startup, LTA (Lighter Than Air), aiming to build blimps for humanitarian purposes.[2] According to this article he also wants to the blimp to be "luxuriously appointed" so it can be used as an air yacht.[3] LTA is based at Moffett Airfield in Mountain View, and I know I've seen blimps take off and land there every once in a while. When I see one I always wonder if it's Sergey's blimp.

Not markup on the parts. The whole product you are initially sold.
Do you have a source on ARC breaking ground? I follow CFS and haven't heard anything- google didn't turn up anything either. Just curious
Sometimes. But it still feels quite cool when I manage to solve a (tough) problem in a neat way.
I guess I don't agree? You can certainly implement additional measures within the quarantine to prevent spread, but the essence of the world is to cut off the outside, not the inside. Any other restrictions are extra. (And, sure, you might be advised to quarantine in your room within a quarantined building—that's two quarantines.)

And in the specific context we're discussing, I agree with the GP that quarantining an office building leaves everyone who's forced to live in that building more likely to get sick than if they all went home for two weeks. However, the purpose isn't to protect the people in the building, but the broader population.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but have you ever worked for a company where you were involved with making physical things?

Making things is an incredibly difficult dance between electrical engineers, purchasers, manufacturers, sales and product managers, and logistics teams. I think that people who work exclusively in software often trivialize how difficult it is to choose how many of something to produce, how many extra pieces to keep around for repairs, etc., because they took some EE classes in school and they think that they basically understand the process of making boards.

The reality is the actual engineering is usually the easy part. The hard part is logistics, and it's not something that you can just outsource to a dedicated purchaser and be done with. Software people don't actually have something analogous.

For everyone that works in hardware, the last 2 years has been hell in terms of quickly redesigning things around parts availability, often stripping functionality entirely and reevaluating how it can be done generically in software without a certain chip. We make PoE devices and we can't get validated ethernet PHYs.

Basically, what I'm saying is this: as someone who sees how things are made, the idea that there's some guiding principle of being evil or some principle of maximizing overall bottom line at all costs and making shit products is just so far from the truth that it makes my head spin. Things suck because it's hard.
