How is the rate of evaporation from the old type? I lose gas through evaporation from the new type anyway so they don’t even appear to work. It would be awesome to fill a jerry can with non ethanol fuel if it would last for at least a few months.
Well, what do you think will happen if Russia takes Ukraine? Do you think they will settle back in into a peaceful stance, uninterested in further conflict? That Ukraine is truly the final step in whatever geopolitical strategy they're enacting?

Agree, this is the first thing you should do, add more RAM and replace HDD with SSD. If possible 6-8G of RAM.
We do a number of things that limit the data that needs to be scraped e.g. key off of sale patterns / pair sites that tend to have the same price. Beyond that we do simple things to space out and decentralize.
Hermetic builds allow you to cache your builds and your test executions in such a way that running all builds and all tests for every commit is indistinguishable from executing only the builds and tests that you could have affected
> Yes, these are anecdotes. But if we believe them to be true, they should still worry us, even if the incidence is less than 1%. Because if there is even a 0.1% (or maybe even 0.01%)[0] chance that, after recovering from COVID, I might end up physically debilitated for months or years, I will absolutely change my behavior to make it less likely that I get COVID in the first place, regardless of loosening of masking and distancing restrictions. Some might consider that an overreaction, but that's my choice to make.

You and I have somewhat different thought-processes when it comes to thinking about risk. All other things being equal, I wouldn't want to risk even a 0.001% chance of significant problems either: but the deciding factor for me is valuing my freedom and not wanting to be scared for the rest of my life. Also, there's no guarantee that you can still avoid Covid anyway even if you do 100% of things perfectly anyway.

That said, I respect everybody's right to choose. That's one value that I hope everybody can learn to respect again.
I found some internet pages talking about this, but not an authoritative source. Do you know one?
My iPad Pro reads the RAW files from the Sony A7R3. Performance is fine but I stick to JPG due to file size. The iPad 6 had terrible performs with the same RAW files, apps would frequently crash due to memory limitations.
I rode on Gogoro scooters in Ishigaki, it was one of my most memorable trips! The island is a perfect environment for it: warm, nicely paved roads going through beautiful nature, can't get too far away from anything because it's an island, and battery swap stations placed strategically around so you don't feel uneasy about running out of charge.

Those things have some good acceleration and are a blast to drive.
I agree relative to income, US housing is still one of the cheapest in the world. But abundant land don't explain it as in countries with even more land like Canada, housing is more expensive. Maybe its the substantial carrying cost of real estate in US (high property taxes) which discourages people from using it as pure store of value (like Chinese).

>I’d dispute the ton of independent buyers given the amount of bids placed by the top 10 corporations.

What's the ratio like?

> Even if the bids are rejected it still has a large effect on pricing

If they put in a bunch of bids that end up being rejected, doesn't that work in the opposite direction? If you're selling something on craigslist and you get spammed with a bunch of lowball offers, you're not going to think your widget is more valuable. If anything it's going to make you have second thoughts about your original price and make you want to lower it.
People think they’re designing a spaceship, when in reality they’re building something closer to IKEA furniture.

YAGNI applies to a lot more than most people think it does.
There is also no evidence to back up the implication that Apple's primary reason was to prevent third party upgrades.

Based on what I've heard from people who work (or worked) at Apple, that isn't normally how they roll - usually there's a cost, performance, user experience, security, reliability, or functionality (etc.) reason and breaking third party upgrades, compatibility, or repairs is just a happy (for Apple) side-effect. ;-)

Placing the SSD cache in unified RAM would seem like a plausible performance and cost justification to me, not "wild speculation" as you claim. I've seen papers describing how to optimize the use of flash storage that require low-level control of the device as well as modifications to the OS/file system or even the cache and memory system - all things Apple could certainly do. However, as you note, evidence will tell.

Regarding whether Apple passes its own savings on to customers, I will note that the Disk II was said to be "obscenely profitable." In general Apple maintains some of the highest margins in the industry. Which is not to say Apple products are a poor value (I generally consider them an excellent value for what you get, and for my own use cases) but it is saying that they are very good at keeping money in their own pocket.
I wrote "roughly" and literally made a comparison with 100 services per team.
Yes and no. The original firmware / host driver stack was open (shared?) source called MyriAPI. It was so terrible that spawned an ecosystem of uni and research lab projects to implement replacements. I worked on one such project at Duke (Trapeze). Others included BIP, Fast Messages, Active Messages.

MyriAPI was later replaced by a new firmware / host stack called GM. I think at some point we stopped shipping firmware source. I think that point was the transition from MyriAPI to GM...
This reminds me of winter biking back in university in Idaho (fairly cold winters)... with a night shift that got off at 23:00.

The path I was on wasn't really maintained with winter bikers in mind, and I never even thought of researching winter tires, and I wasn't a particularly skilled cyclist (I don't think I cleaned the chain once in several years).

So I did what any stubborn-minded fool who had to bike to their job rain or shine would do: I simply fell over repeatedly until I started getting the hang of things (pro-tip: just don't turn at all and you won't fall over)

Nowadays I'm too old to consider regularly crashing during my commute to be a particularly sane idea; though I still don't have a car and wish cycling infrastructure would get even a fraction of the attention that car infrastructure does.
I live in a province where 90%+ of electrical power comes from hydro sources. Essentially we can arbitrarily scale for time of day demand to a pretty large degree.
Yeah, I should have said Ubuntu Mate. It solves most problems.

I've had to build apps from source - but these were free extras, not things I needed for basic functionality.
Yes, even deciding on preferences, including time horizon, is difficult in the first place. I think rental models like Pabio (YC S21) will catch on for the optionality they provide.

I do agree that IKEA, which is vertically-integrated at scale, offers very compelling price-per-quality.
> But opt-out should not set anything. I don't know what you mean by "local cookie", a cookie is always sent over the wire by HTTP. If you mean saving to LocalStorage, then I don't think that's allowed either.

It is allowed for this case.

You must save a cookie (or a localStorage value) with the user preferences to avoid showing the cookie banner again. Simplifying: cookies are fine under GDPR as long as they don't carry PII (Personal Identifiable Information). You don't have to ask for consent to store those. They're called "Strictly necessary cookies" in GDPR lingo. (And, of course you can't use any of those to track, though. Intent matters.)

And you can save cookies using a Javascript API. That doesn't involve HTTP requests. The cookie will be sent to the server in future requests, though.
"You have to assume the authorities, and others are listening" doesnt this seem sort of outrageous to an outsider, since Google pioneered the practice of searching every user's emails? like, they dish it out but also hide their own ?

Secondly the extreme and secretive legal agreement not to talk about your work, even years after leaving the company.. it seems Google got away with a lot, by virtue of "superpowers" that is objectionable for good reason, for the business community in general.
> The battery life seems short. I'm pretty sure that I charged it up to 99% when I plugged it in this afternoon. It's now 10pm and I just went to check something in Firefox and found that the battery has died already. And I haven't exactly been using it heavily. It's possible that I misunderstood how much I had charged it, but so far this is a bad sign.

Battery life is an area that may be difficult for smaller phone makers to compete on. I think Apple especially puts a ton of engineering effort and coordination into making iOS and their apps work efficiently with their hardware, reducing complexity, runtime cycles, and power consumption as much as possible, on top of already highly-efficient ARM hardware.

Over years of doing that (kaizen), the result is optimized hardware/software fusion with industry-leading battery life. But it seems like it takes a non-trivial amount of additional engineering time and effort to accomplish this, that will be difficult to match by smaller mobile tech startups.

I hope the open source community around Librem and Pine will be able to replicate that effort, but I'm not sure this kind of consistent incremental upgrade work is attractive enough to volunteer FOSS developers. And being maximally effective at it most certainly requires the parent company to coordinate the effort across hardware, software, internal teams, and external volunteers.
Revenue isn't always a great way to measure the size of a business, because different businesses add different amount of value. And you can't use profit, because that's easy to game. For something like people benefits, predicating the requirement on the number of people employed makes a lot of sense. It's about as much work to setup a health plan for a two person firm as a 50 person firm, but many fewer people benefit.
Do keep in mind that this does come with a performance cost, especially in larger applications, as attribute selectors are slower than pure CSS classes, at least last time I ran some benchmarks.
I suggest you try getting outside and traveling the world a bit, to get a better understanding of the large ranges of weather seen in different cities throughout the world. You'll definitely be surprised! There's hot, cold, wet, icy, windy, and everything in between.

For a rare few places in the world, open air transportation could work year round. For the rest, you'll need an equally sized fleet of cars for the bad days, and scooters for the good days, than can be easily swapped.
It won't necessarily. Double clicking the window header is the green button of yore where apps maximize to the space they feel they need which may or may not be the space below the menu bar. Chrome will fill the space but Safari will just do website width + length.
maybe i missed it, but a lot of folks are likely to care about intent. Even if larry summers is responsible, did he mean to?

I think you'll have trouble pressing your argument even if it is true, even if the amount of dead is 10x that just because of intent.

Well, if you copied the attorney on every email it would cease to hold ambiguity on if the communication was actually private or not. If you just copy every communication with an attorney no judge would believe it.

If you keep it down to some reasonable percentage of communications, you're granted benefit of the doubt in the ambiguous case (innocent until proven guilty and all).
Possible - but it could also be some other bottlneck - like spawning subprocesses being faster on Linux.

To get more insight one would need to instrument the code and measure which sub-operation is actually faster.
Doesn't look good on actual plain text browsers such as lynx or links2, but still works, sorta...
Agreed, if calls are secondary to a phone it doesn't make sense to call it a phone granted these are just computers, but even then I would call communication/networking a primary function of a modern computer.
It works out great for everyone except the 47.5% of Americans who are employed by small businesses.
Sorry its a bit of a late reply, but I'm not against text-focused simple content, it is indeed great. But some simple css rules would have gone a long way here. Choosing a readable font, making the codepen iframe a bit bigger so you can actually see the thing the author wants to show and either changing background to like #222 or the text color to #DDD would have been a very simple and seemingly obvious improvement in my eyes.

Normally I wouldn't be so nitpicky, its not an outright bad design by a long shot, but when you are literally writing about website design I feel it's okay to expect a little more
I get your point and I'd raise you the suite of Microsoft products:

- Word, PowerPoint, Excel, all one style
- Teams, different style
- Notepad, different style
- Paint, different style

That's just within the MS ecosystem, leave that ecosystem and you rapidly find the same style mess that you get on Linux. It's basically due to the many different GUI frameworks, not the OS itself, hell MS supplies a whole list of frameworks that look different from each other.

Even MacOS/iOS which are _really_ good at having a cohesive UI style suffer from this problem.

I'd argue that if this is a valid complaint with Linux DEs (be it GNOME/KDE/what have you) then it's an equally valid complaint for Windows.
Yes and no. On Wayland an app has no access to its context. I.e. location on the screen, or ability to move itself. So dragging by the title bar is the compositor/WMs job. That means the WM has to know where those higher level controls are. It's also not really an applications job to manage its look as in themes.

Is it the toolkits job or the compositor/wm?
Right now shelters are so unsafe many people choose to sleep on the streets instead.

I'm not saying roll building codes back 100 years. I am saying that cities are experiencing an extraordinary problem and we may need to start rethinking some of our fundamentals and sacred cows if we are going to solve these problems.

There's a printable gravity hill sculpture among other optical illusions.
His back story is that he was working on machine vision for taking in 2d scans of technical drawings and reconstructing the 3d wire frame. Just for the sake of experiment, he fed the program an impossible object and was surprised to find it output some coherent 3d shape. So naturally he built the shape and sure enough, from a specific angle with one eye closed, it looked like the original impossible construction. He's been making impossible constructions ever since.
Literate programming has been particularly useful for my "dotfile" configurations, such as .emacs, .vimrc, .zshrc and even the .gitconfig file.

I use one .org file to declare all of my configurations, and tangle them together into the aforementioned files. This keeps things pretty portable, and makes up for the unintuitive readability of many dotfiles.

It can also work for rudimentary shell scripts and other single-file goodies; however, scaling it to proper multi-file programs proves to be difficult, especially when multiple developers are involved.

While I don't necessarily disagree with the initial statement, I will say that Linux Desktop has its own kind of abusive relationship, especially if you have to deal with certain parts of the community.

As mentioned, I've been using Linux for ten years as my only system and I installed at time over the twenty years before that. At worst, twenty years ago, I would contact people and got "I ignore your bug 'cause you don't have the very latest thing everywhere". In my current experience, I've never had to "talk" to anyone. It's not without hiccups but it's not "abusive" in the sense of Windows 'cause no one is fixing one thing to break another or gaslighting you about bugs.

I like the saying that software isn't released, it's allowed to escape.
That's exactly what the government is asking for. Per the article:

>The government wants access to email chains where attorneys were copied, but never responded.

so it sounds like an existing thread, where someone threw legal on the cc list after, and legal never felt it was appropriate to respond.

Here's another idea:

Mandate only ADA accessibility for the first floor of a residential building.

Before someone says that is a terrible idea, I'd like to point out the majority of housing stock in Manhattan is just that.
I think the point here is to draw parallels between what may be Russia's longer term intentions. Clearly the current scope of conflict is not the same, and an isomorphic 1-to-1 mapping of the details of those times to this situation isn't intended.
I mean Apple put a whole stupid ARM chip in my laptop to interface with the keyboard and trackpad (among other things). This has the "fun" benefit of essentially killing support for non-blessed OSs because who wants to use a laptop that doesn't have a functional built-in keyboard and mouse? Oh and I've even had Bridge OS crash a few times knocking out the keyboard and mouse in macOS forcing me to restart.
I don't think they changed the plastic when they changed the shape, so I'd expect fuel vapor to permeate the old plastic cans too (or at least some of them). A metal can with a good seal doesn't let vapor out, so be careful with big temperature changes.

Add the sense of entitlement of large 4WDs to complete non-enforcement of road rules protecting riders of both motor- and acoustic bikes by the Police, and you've got a deadly mix going.
> A false DMCA takedown notice can result in a lawsuit including damages and legal fees.

Only in a very narrow sense of "false": if the issuer of the takedown claims they have copyright over something they don't. The statement that they have a copyright on some work is made under penalty of perjury.

The statement that your work infringes on their copyright is not made under any penalties at all, and there are no consequences for falsely claiming infringement.

So if you play the Moonlight Sonata, I can't claim that I own the copyright to the Moonlight Sonata and you're infringing. I can claim that I own the copyright to some actual work I own the copyright to (even if totally unrelated) and that your work infringes it.
That tweet is ridiculous. The World Wide Web was created for one purpose only...serve formatted documents across a network for scientists. Using !important beyond it's intended purpose is called hacking, and has been around since before there were computers. People found use beyond the main purpose of !important, and that's ok...it was a dead end, but that's beside the point.

Never use !important in your production css at all costs. In development, experiment with it all you want...maybe you'll uncover something amazing...in this case, probably not...but better to hack on things than accept what you're given.
I have similar experiences to you to this kind of stuff, and will add to that another layer of analysis -- racking your brain for all the beliefs and experiences you have that contradict each other.

I have no belief in the supernatural, paranormal, or any hocus pocus. I don't believe in ghosts. But, conversely, I've had an experience that I've a hard time explaining as anything but a ghost. My dad lived in a house that once was used as a pheasantry, but no pheasants lived on the land for ~100 years. At night, though, I and many other folks would hear pheasants coming from inside the conservatory, where the pheasants used to be hung after slaughter. On many investigations, no source of the noise was ever discovered.

The only way I can harmonize the two is to just avoid thinking about it. If asked if I believe in ghosts, I say no. If asked if I've ever experienced a ghost, I recall this experience.

I don't mean this as some spooky tale or suggestion that anything mystical is possible, just one account of the weird ways evidence and beliefs work.
I've started my current project with microservices and I regret it. If I could start over, I'd simply use Rails and focus on the business instead.

So you are asking us to note the recent speech but not to watch it...?

I spent a short time searching for his recent speeches recently but came up short. The best I found was short clips with newscast voiceovers.

I do think it's dangerous to just rely on second- or third-hand summaries, no matter how terrible the message.
Maybe. Android works across tons of devices and the difference in battery life doesn't jump out to me compared to the fruit company. Linux on a laptop gets similar battery life to Windows in my experience, and that's without using kernel patches and crazy settings, etc.
> Performance at most athleticism-based sports is light-tailed. For the 100m sprint, the current world record from Usain Bolt is 9.58 seconds, while “a non-elite athlete can run 100m in 13-14 seconds.”

On the other hand, I'm guessing pay among athletes is heavy-tailed.

Anyway, thought this was going to be a post on anomaly detection or something but turned out to be quite different.
Yeah, not quite sure what to say at this point. It's been pointed out over and over that wind and solar do not provide reliable power and apparently that point just goes over people's heads? What do people think Germany has massive subsidies for?

Yet every discussion has claims about how energy storage is somehow a solved problem; usually with some handwaving about pump storage or how batteries have gotten cheaper. There are, interestingly enough, never any real world examples of this.

It's perfectly rational to argue that solar and wind have obvious merits that could be worth subsidizing but that usually isn't the argument. Solar and wind are always cheaper period. Which just isn't true
