Unless the people who run your water utility are criminally negligent (ie. Flint, MI), you’re fine. Run the water for a few seconds before you drink it in the morning to flush out sediment, and if you’re worried, use a filter.

Your water utility is required to test and publish results - look at those as well to understand if there is anything to worry about.

They were designed to run Linux to be cheap so other OSes need drivers.
There were issues with my hosting provider. Try again and it should be fine. Hard refresh to be safe
A lot of the hardware on the board has vendor support in Linux and only Linux. Vendors will write drivers and upstream them to Linux and then just call it a day. You can't get the manuals for those components except under NDA, which makes open source development for non-Linux operating systems a huge pain in the ass.
>>More sanctions? These seem to hurt the West more than Russia at the moment

Source? Because on the face of it, that sounds actually crazy. Russia has been reduced to economic rubble already. By summer, they won't be able to run their farms that operate foreign equipment, their planes can't fly anywhere but even if they could that's a moot point because very soon they won't be able to maintain them, tens of thousands of Russians are fleeing the country every day(and I can only imagine a lot of them are the best and brightest and also people with means to actually escape). It looks like the best they can hope for is for China to buy them out and that they can become a slightly better equipped North Korea 2 - a chinese vassal state.

>>Russia has not even started turning off oil, coal and gas.

I'll give them one thing - Russia has been better at sanctioning themselves than "the west" could ever hope for. Just today they announced a 10 year ban on any foreign company that doesn't return by 1st of May, in addition to the legislation that is getting rid of copyright as well as patent protection for foreign companies in the country. Why would anyone do any business with them long term.

So yeah, I absolutely expect them to destroy whatever sliver of economy they still have and actually turn off the gas. I can't wait actually.
Your facts are wrong: none of those are complete homeserver implementations.
1. The questions on both high school and college should be meaningless for anyone 5+ years into their career. I am a different person than I was in high school.

2. It is unclear from the prompt how much detail to provide - many of these questions could have multi-page responses. Is that preferred, or penalized?

3. There are far too many questions (37!). "Choose 3 of the above, and write 10-20 sentences on them" would be a much better prompt if your goal was to evaluate writing skills and communication ability. Good writing takes time.

4. The asymmetric time spent between candidate and company. So far Canonical has only done the "6 second resume test", and then asks the candidate to spend an unbounded amount of time answering these questions. The company is wasting time of candidates that would not be a good fit for the role.

5. Heavily biased toward native English speakers. I have worked with people who can clearly communicate their thoughts but make English grammar mistakes. The worst part is they bill this as an attempt at avoiding bias.
The ML limitations are that all the low level vector and acceleration libraries are written in C or C++. The GPU libraries are the real kicker, there isn't any great way around this except to trampoline over to C, that trampolining takes time which chews into your acceleration. Ironically Python is much faster than Go for ML because of this.
And it is winter in Antarctica, a mild winter can make the impact of summer worse.
For my part I don't enjoy games where the gameplay is just something you do to experience a story. Last of Us is a good example. Great story, great atmosphere, bored to tears playing it. If Dark Souls were easy I would probably feel the same.

It's also important to appreciate how difficult it is to balance a game especially when your character's power level increases throughout the game. Most games that have a hard mode are lazy: bosses just have more health or enemies suddenly get headshots all the time. The game needs to be balanced around an intended difficulty level to make it compelling. It takes a lot of talent to make a good difficulty curve, as proven by the lame ripoffs of Souls games that have come out over the years.
Instead of being condescending, can you just make whatever point it is you are trying to make?
A country is more than an economic zone. Culture, cohesion and community matter, not simply constant replacement through immigration.

Babies grow up to be adults. We don't need foreign workers, that's a myth for corporations to make more profits through suppressing wages.

Hire your own countrymen and women to work as employees for you. Check the male labor participation rate, there are plenty of workers available.

Small plane fuel is still leaded. I know a few air fields in my area that were converted to housing developments and/or parks/retail/offices. I assume the ground is still contaminated in those areas, and any fruits from plants growing on it will be contaminated also.

I also assume small planes rain down lead wherever they fly.
Don't forget the perverse incentives of the folks working on these things. They don't get paid for projects getting completed, they bill by the hour.

And if that wasn't bad enough, taking a call on the way from one job to another? Bill them both for the time.

Hitler had earlier promised the Japanese that if they attacked the Americans he would delcare war on the U.S. as well. He kept his promise, likely fearing that the Japanese might settle quickly otherwise, or because in many ways, esp at sea, he was already at war with the U.S.

Only about 5 MB compressed. Interesting to note is that even though the extension and MIME type claim it's a png, Firefox claims it's actually a jpeg. Throwing it at a couple different pieces of software, they all appear to open it with either file extension (so presumably they're going off the file header rather than the actual extension).
Could be just that this kind of thing lives on the boundary of electronics, software and precision timing (e.g. for PAL it's necessary to either clock a deterministic MCU at a precise multiple of the colour subcarrier, or use a pile of dedicated logic - lots of chips for TTL or cheat by using an FPGA). To me it just feels 'wrong' to use modern tech to implement a memory-mapped display on a Z80 (I still have a working Nascom 1 [0], which managed to fit a memory-mapped text display into a system with a total 2K of RAM).

Happy to discuss further, email is in profile.

Perhaps it's that disease of a profession named "project management". In the past we had engineers and architects running large projects. They knew the industry, the people, and how everything works. Now we have professional projects managers that don't really understand the details of what is actually required, or how things work, so they crank the process overhead up to almost fetish levels. Even in the IT world, a one year project just 10 years ago is now a 3 year project.
It is however fairly predicable that folks will comment on unusual (to them) weather behaviour[0]. First thought - "I guess Leo has never experienced a chinook". Go to school when it's -25°C; go home for lunch at +5°C [1].

WTF? Yes, go ahead and advocate responsible techniques. But if you're the type of meddling busybody that harasses others just for working on their own homes, don't be surprised when nobody listens to you.
I would argue that increasing the retirement age is in the best interest of the aging population.
Because if too much of the population is retired, then there won't be enough workers to provide the goods and services for those retired people.
Joyent did sponsor the work that led to NodeJS however, I think?

While I wouldn't excuse any bad behavior, that is a point in Joyent's favor...
I had a similar experience. After 20 years off the power grid, we wanted to connect to the grid and the nearest line was about 1/4 mile away. The state and PG&E wanted ~500k and several years to extend the power to the home.

Ended up finding a private company to put in the poles, line and transformer for <50K, and they could start within a month. It was still hell to connect it to the grid, but vastly faster and cheaper than the alternative.

Maybe a dumb question nowadays because I stopped using Go around the 1.6 days, but is there still a stop-the-world garbage collector, or any other potential blockers for high performance/real time?

A previous company I worked with chose to build in C++ instead of Go because of that, as the performance requirements were very, very high. I would imagine a serious BGP usage would have very high requirements?
> Russia’s attack on Ukraine marks the end of all that and the beginning of a new normal — or, rather, a shift back toward the old normality.

These kind of articles are lazy. For some reason journalists and forgotten cold war experts have sprung from the bushes to retell the only story they know about , but history doesnt repeat itself. There is no indication that we are going to go back to a cold war situation because russia is not important anymore despite its military strength. Russia doesnt have a compelling ideological narrative to offer like the USSR. Even china doesnt have a particularly powerful narrative to engage the world. And everywhere you look around the world , people are looking into their phones. Maybe land borders dont really matter that much, it's only in particular regions of the world where such wars occur.
Well, what I meant by that is that in FROM games, even the weakest enemy can kill you if you're complacent, but beating or avoiding said enemy is incredibly easy.

I've watched a ton of beginners to FROM games play Bloodborne on streams and there are a few common trends I noticed. For example, players often tend to rush into an area without first observing what's actually there. They get punished for this by getting ambushed or surrounded or whatever. Its not that the area is hard, but the player gets punished for the mistake of rushing in without first taking a good look around. Players also rarely look up... and FROM games love to hide enemies above you.

Another mistake I saw a lot is that players see something that looks scary, get scared and back away. Or they get hit, panic, and back away. But instead of just backing away enough to get out of range of the enemy and then stopping, they continue to back away... right into another group of enemies. They get punished for this mistake.

Actually, panic was a major cause of death.

Consider also that you can basically run through any region or level without engaging in any enemy, all it takes is some understanding of the required spacing and to not be afraid of them. Yet the first time I go through an area, I certainly fear the danger the enemies represent. So the regions aren't actually all that hard, when you really look at it.

The enemies also tend to hit hard, especially bosses. So its harder to just shrug off an attack and brute force your way through. You often have to take a step back and take some time to learn the attack patterns, the openings, etc.

Not that there aren't some truly hard situations or bosses, where even these things are taken to the extreme, because there certainly are, but most of these tend to be optional. Although admittedly there are a few throughout the series that aren't, so I'm definitely not claiming the games are easy. Because they are not.
The code renders correctly neither on Firefox (desktop) nor mobile (some webview browser). It goes out of the screen both left and right.

Here it is since paragraph selection (triple click) doesn't exist in tap form on mobile. Added a few newlines because why not.

pickaword() {
WORDFREQFILE=/home/mywords.txt;
WORDLENGTH=$1;
FREQSUM=$(awk -v wordlength="$WORDLENGTH" 'length($1) == wordlength {s+=$2}END{print s}' "$WORDFREQFILE");
CHOICE=$(shuf -i 0-$FREQSUM -n 1);
awk -v wordlength="$WORDLENGTH" 'length($1) == wordlength {sum += $2; print $1, $2, sum} END {print sum}' "$WORDFREQFILE" | awk -v threshold="$CHOICE" '$3 < threshold' | tail -2 | head -1 | cut -f1 -d' ';
}

If you just want to generate random words (I use this from time to time) (note: do not use for cryptographic purposes!), you can just do `shuf /usr/share/dict/words | head -1` on most linux systems (since most have a dictionary installed; else you might have to apt install wamerican or something), but of course that doesn't take language frequency into account like OP has. To select a word length you could do `grep ^....$ /usr/share/dict/words | shuf | head -1` with the number of dots being the number of characters.
Saying XMPP "gave up before it started" is nonsense. There is plenty of usage and development activity across a bunch of projects. Check out the monthly newsletter for some highlights: https://xmpp.org/newsletter/

I don't think there is any sort of scientific consensus that i) there is a point where its too warm for earth to be habitable for humans or ii) there is a massive feedback loop threshold.
Yeah they're even borderline hostile to non raspbian systems. When a new Pi comes out it usually only works for raspbian for quite some time until others put in the work of getting the right stuff together for other distros.

I love raspberry pi but they are definitely not as "open" and drop-in compatible as most people think.

That seems to be a problem with most ARM devices, so may not be specific or the fault of the Pi people.
I don't use XMPP since the Google talk era, how are the available servers nowadays? Does they support federation, meaning that users from different servers can talk to each other?
I grew up in a super-red county in California. Things were horribly run. The area has been under Democratic leadership for the past twenty years and it is a world change in terms of how much nicer, better, and more efficient everything is. The roads are better, the schools are better, the neighborhoods and people are better.

It turns out than when you have people believe that government should exist, and that government can do a good job, you get people who do good work. And when your government consists of people who think it shouldn't exist...you get morass.

Contrast blue counties with red counties in most states and you'll notice a huge difference in how much nicer things are in the blue counties. There's a reason so many Republicans retire to LA and NY: after they've made their money railing
"against the libs" they just want a nice place to live out their golden years.
At least it didn’t say “northern”…then I’d have been even more confused
I'm not sure what you mean?

How much is a human life worth to you? How much are we all responsible for everything and nothing?

Collective punishment? It's just that there are limitations on tools global politics can use.

Independently of this perhaps my expectations on fellow humans are different than yours.

I don’t need to do research because I’m not the one who made the original assertion. You can’t throw around unsubstantiated claims but require proof from those who try to refute them; that’s not how it works.
Have you played Blasphemous? Definitely inspired by Dark Souls. I think its world is even more entrancing despite it being a hand-drawn pixel art side-scroller. It draws on Spanish folklore and Catholicism, which I really liked.

(Don't forget to play it with the Spanish voice acting - superb)
It's the God-focus that immediately turned me off to Eckhart. I've had plenty of people recommend him, and own a copy of the power of now, but I can't get past the feeling that there's a hidden agenda. I'm all about being present and experiencing the world through different lenses - I like new ideas and I'm open to thinking differently, but that higher power thing just puts every synapse I have on high alert.

Dark Souls 3 is even less interconnected that Dark Souls 2. And difficulty is hard to measure, but IMO nothing in ds2 is as difficult as the Ringed Cities, and there aren't bosses with 2+ phases. Did Miyazaki misunderstand his own vision when he made ds3?
>> Of course they're being one-shotted if they don't increase their health. Again, this difficulty seems completely self-inflicted.

Unfortunately it happens to the same people who will shout the loudest that "BUT THE GAME DOESN'T TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO DO THAT", as if somehow that should validate their (wrong) choices in the game. It's a role playing game. That's what the RP stands for in RPG. If you are role playing someone with inhumane strength but no health whatsoever, then you have to accept consequences of your choices. Like the other comment said - games require a certain level of literacy, not just in terms of actual reading but also in terms of understanding what the stats actually mean.
I remember an AOL chat bot where u could train and battle pokemon. And this introduced me to hex editing because the author of the chat bot hard-coded his AOL name to be able to cheat and raises arbitrary stats of your pokemon in the ui of the game server.
Or 128 bits. FORTRAN has a REAL*16 type (quadruple precision floating point number). I encountered this at university in a physics department that studied non- linear systems also known as chaos theory. Rounding errors can quickly become a problem in these systems.
Somewhat related: Here are the hyper-resolution Bosch scans mentioned in that article: http://boschproject.org/#/artworks/
As it happens, Elden Ring takes care of the specific problem you mention by having save points, or some temporary respawn point, ahead of pretty much every tough boss available. This is done even for many optional bosses: You will respawn 10 seconds away from the fight. It will still not help when, instead of a boss, the wall is a slightly stronger low level enemy, and there might be an example or two of this problem in a few side dungeons, but it's nowhere near as common a problem as in their earlier games.

Now, this often means said bosses are often quite a bit tougher than in earlier games, but you don't have to go through a 10 minute dungeon to get to them every time you die.
A bit late to respond, but I would start with the wikipedia article which is short but gives a decent overview.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrodollar_recycling

The petrodollar warfare section is worthy of note.
The poor shape of America's cities is both a cause and an effect. There are numerous other reasons. Here's the big ones in no particular order:

(1) America's very old and ongoing racism problem, hence "white flight" and cycles of re-development due to segregation.

(2) The "law of rent" and the connection between the growth of the middle class and the use of suburbanization to escape high urban property prices and eternal rent to a landlord class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_rent -- This one is tough to solve and is still a problem. There's a new re-suburbanization trend driven in part by young people realizing it's hard to build wealth if you can only ever rent. This is also a major driver of remote work. COVID just accelerated the remote work trend.

(3) A cultural legacy of preference for the outdoors and the frontier and a desire of a large number of people to have at least some land. This is a romantic idea in American culture that is not as strong in Europe or Asia.

(4) Cities were horribly polluted during the early to mid industrial era. Even those who lived in cities often maintained country homes or vacationed in the country whenever possible if they could afford it, with a major driver being to get away from the noise and pollution.

(5) Lastly, cars were invented in the USA and the automobile industry was and still is a major economic engine and employer in the country. America is where car culture really took hold if not originated. Car culture is still quite strong even though younger generations seem less enamored by it.
