Yes, of course, 'apt install obs-studio' works.

However, on 20.04LTS apt installs OBS v25.0x, not the current version (27.2.x).

What I was talking about was installing v27.2.x on Ubuntu. FWIW the OBS site gives up-to-date installation info, so it's not really difficult for people familiar with unix/linux just some extra hassle. Also using OBS in Ubuntu requires entering a password each time, rather an annoyance. (Sure, ways to work around this exist but another minor hassle to deal with.)

No doubt all this would be a daunting task for users without experience with command-line admin.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow.
You should definitely go to an exit interview.

In the case of a sour breakup, you should 100% lie. Just say it was great but you were in need for a change. Don't dramatize the lying part because you lied to get in and the employer lied about how great their company is. Work is a lie, play the game.

In the case of a drama-free breakup, when pressed for feedback and the room being receptive of it, do share your thoughts. But toned down, in a light hearted manner. Comment on things and processes, not people. This gives the impression "helpful until the end".

Both ways are a clean exit, with no bridges burned. There might come a time in your life where you're less desirable on the market, having intact relations can make a huge difference then.

You should internalize the dishonesty as a type of strength, because that's what it is in this context. In a sour breakup, you're given the perfect opportunity for revenge, with little immediate consequences.

Your ex-boss Tim is an asshole. He knows he is. And you know he is. You now have the opportunity to finally say it to his face.

Applying silence in this situation is powerful. It says so much more. I could harm you right now, but I chose not to. This radiates self control, which is widely respected. Meanwhile, Tim was looking forward to a good burn and argument, but didn't get any. He feels submissive, like a Roman emperor giving him a thumbs up, allowed to live another day.

And that's how you play it. Alternatively, you can be 21 years old and post on Medium "7 reasons why I quite company X after 8 months". Let me know how that goes.
Others in the company always buys those paper thin laptops that can't be opened. They either break or get stolen. Not sure how they treat them. Mine is built like a tank and can hardly be called laptop. It mostly gets used with Anydesk from a desktop computer though it does follow nicely on trips for work now and then. Not a scratch on it.
Most cars (and I would expect this in a luxury car) have at minimum dual zone. The article mentions the car does not have the tri-zone option. So the sync button should set the same temperature on two zones and if they already are the same do nothing. I don’t understand why this message is necessary at all.
That's entirely compatible with the concept of girls being pushed away from STEM via social pressure
I used to have a personal laptop in the 2000s exactly for mindless web surfing in front of the TV. My mobile phone has now taken over that function though. So I just have a desktop for doing work and creative things and have never personally bought a laptop again (I do have a work supplied one). Also with multi-monitor set-ups now being inexpensive and all TV is available by streaming it's now reasonable to assign some screen space to watching TV on a desktop. So I spend less time on the couch.
> The US and UK for example went through the Industrial Revolution too, where people were paid subsistence wages and worked in sweatshops...

Then they had mass, deadly, pro- and anti-labor violence culminating in various labor protections which resulted in a less-miserable distribution of the rewards of industry, a process which has been interspersed with backsliding and repetition over time.
Wow.

The anti joke explanation was also very impressive.

The first time I started seeing and hearing the term "reverse racism" was from white people reacting to policies like affirmative action. A decade or so later I saw the movement to drop "reverse". All IME of course.
My point is that some of the accounts do report trees. While the stories of deforestation are true it’s a far cry from the island being baron and inhabitants turning into savage cannibals. That’s the subjective part.

Yet we do know with certainty that hundreds, if not thousands, of inhabitants were taken as slaves and the remaining suffered from rampant diseases that were introduced to that island.

So what killed them might not have been lack of resources but rather the same old story of more powerful nations exploiting them.

Grew up in LA. Never had people flake. My guess is via random variation, some people get unlucky, have a few people flake, and assume it's the cultural norm. You can insert "people from ____ are flaky" and find complaints about pretty much anywhere.

Common experience for me, rural stores closing 15 to 30mins early (so from my pov as a customer, flaky, by not being where they said they'd be)
I'm not sure what you mean by "not gaining anything of significance." Go without interfaces (and for simplicity let's ignore 1.18's generics for a moment) would not be a useful language at any significant scale. You'd end up with a lot of "by hand" interfaces of structs full of function pointers (or method closures), only without the compiler support.

Nor am I sure exactly what "confusion" is being increased.
You can train yourself to get better at generating a lot of ideas. And you can train yourself to get better at evaluating ideas. Combine those and you can generate good ideas.

Also, I think there's a bit of a trap that you can fall into where you get too skilled at dismissing bad ideas. Most really groundbreaking things that I've seen started out as terrible ideas, but working on them revealed good ideas as a byproduct. If you work on things that are interesting, even if they feel not-mainstream-applicable, you might find something. Just be aware that the idea itself might not catch on.

And remember, if this is something you want, it's very likely that there are other people like you who want the same thing. So it's not a matter of finding ideas that appeal to everyone, just making sure the scope is right for the market. If you build something that 5 people will be willing to pay $10 for, that's not worth spending too much time on but could be a fun weekend project. If 5 people will spend $10k on it, or if 5k people will spend $5, that's a different story.

I personally think there is a big open space for projects that are "too small" to support a startup, but big enough to support a single dev.

I think serving data from multiple Kafka partitions gets unnecessarily hard if your "continue from this point" token is tied to a singular event ID. For that, it'd be better to have the "cursor token" be an arbitrary blob of data you repeat back to the server. Then the server can e.g. encode a list of partition->offset values into it.
My sister’s team did something truly great with the satisfaction surveys. They all gave the same marks along the months: 6, 7, 10, 8, 8, 10, 7, 6.

It made a very nice Batman shadow on the manager’s dashboard. That’s about all they can be used for.

…which is a pretty good proof of team cohesion.
simplicity is a virtue. the project goal apparently isn't to have a lot of features, it's to do the core thing in the simplest way possible.
My view might of course be a bit outdated, do you have any examples?

(Specifically for this point: “and follow them for typing”)
It sounds like guilt by association and ignores the importance of incentive structures. Economies that allow actors to foist pollution costs on others will have more pollution than is economically optimal. This isn't because of the industry creating the pollution, it's because of the economic structure allowing the negative externalities.
I felt the same way. But to be fair, one could expect that as he pulled the same thing in MI2.

It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be tried. Adults make an attempt to communicate, especially in social settings.
This is amazing, but I don't understand the justification :

> Since their types specify the same length, the type-checker knows we can ignore the 'zip Nil Cons' or 'zip Cons Nil' cases.

Specifically, I have trouble understanding "their types specify the same length". Whose types ?
This reminds me of people who always forget their keys. I always thought: "nah that doesn't happen to anyone", and then I discovered it happens to a lot of people. Different brains work very differently, and there are some common bugs that affect some people but not others. See also those who can't stand watching a video to learn about a subject, versus those that can't stand reading. And that's even without getting started on personality disorders.

It's really hard to internalize it if you are not "weird" in any of those ways, but we should all be more aware of it.
This is what happens what idiots write laws.

Good law: Boards cannot be uni-gender.

Bad law: Each board must have at least one woman.

They both accomplish the same thing, but one discriminates on sex, and the other doesn't.

Another example are laws targeting blacks. There are historical wrongs to be righted. Laws should, for example, convey benefits to individuals whose ancestors were slaves, were denied rights under the GI bill, or otherwise were specifically unfairly harmed. That's different from a law looking at skin color directly. It might seem subtle -- it's the same communities -- but one of those does something for bad reasons (and is likely to be found illegal), and one of those does something for good reasons (and is likely to be fully legal).

It matters. I support the court ruling. I also support the intent of the law. The legislature ought to go back to the drawing board, and write a law which does the same thing the right way.
I have 2 devices, one has 1280x1080, the other 1920x1080. Can't really be differentiated from the outside. The one has a silver casing, the other a black one.
you need to seek consensus, in order to reach it, so i disagree. of course, if you can't find consensus after sufficient negotiation then that is a problem, but it depends on the nature of the relationship and the nature of the point in question, how much of a problem it is.

failure to reach consensus could threaten your relationship.

if my boss keeps making decisions for me then i'll eventually quit my job, because i am not willing to work like that. and if my partner does it then it will lead to a breakup and if it is something else, a judge might force a consensus on us.

There is absolutely no financial incentive for businesses to take care of the environment. Unless there's a visible difference in short term monetary goals, attempting to sway the opinion of key stakeholders will always be a challenge.

We should never forget that the objective of any business is to make money for the shareholders, within legal (not necessarily ethical) constraints.
Can confirm. I also got a ton of preparatory materials when I interviewed at FB. I ignored it, but it was definitely provided.

It's large laptop, 4.56 kg and a 17 inch screen. This makes it a bit bulky for carry on. I often check it in luggage, I take pains to wrap it to prevent damage, but I'm sure at least some has occurred when checked. Yes, I know it's fairly foolish to check a laptop, but for it's weight, it's a pain to lug around as carry on. This laptop has lasted about 4.5 years so far. So, I agree with the 1/1000 chance of a spill happening shouldn't really factor into purchasing decision.

Regarding spilled drinks, sometimes it's just been morning coffee, sometimes it's a beer late at night. I've only had one cup of coffee go into this laptop (apparently without damage as it was months ago), but I've taken out several external keyboards over the years.
Dunno, M1 Ultra includes a decent GPU, which the $500 CPUs from Intel and AMD do not. Seems relatively comparable to a $700 GPU (like a RTX 3070 if you can find one) depending on what you are using. Sadly metal native games are rare, many use some metal wrapper and/or Rosetta emulation.

Seems pretty fair to compare an Intel alder lake or higher end AMD Ryzen AND a GPU (rtx 3070 or radeon 6800) to the M1 ultra, assuming you don't care about power, heat, or space.
Maybe it’s just personal experience, but I vehemently and totally disagree with this.

There has never been a time in my life where I was better off because I ignored my feelings. Literally never.

There are times that we should avoid acting on some of our feelings. But to do that well, and without further self-harm, requires that you know what they are, and what those feelings are influencing you to do.

It is absolutely not impossible to confront all of your feelings. Difficult, yes. Exhausting, yes. Impossible? Absolutely not. And I really think it’s doing yourself a disservice to ever believe that you have depths that you yourself are incapable of facing.

Sounds like a great development if it works out.

But consider also that you can stick chiplets on top of each other vertically. That means you can put chiplets much closer together than if they were constrained to exist on the same single plane of the wafer.

Now how about stacking wafers on top of wafers? That could be super, but there might be technical difficulties, which maybe sooner or later can be overcome.
> Not defending Ivermectin, but what do people have against trying alternative therapeutics for COVID?

You have to look at everything surrounding COVID in context. The most important context was that prior to COVID, Trump was obviously going to be re-elected. None of the world-ending catastrophes that everyone said would happen under him, did, in fact we got a lot of good out of his administration. The economy was great, taxes were low, gas prices were low, etc.

But then COVID happened, and finally, the opposition saw their opening. If they had any hope of Trump losing reelection, this was their only chance, and so every single day they did whatever they could to blame everything on Trump and only Trump, and did whatever they could to come to the defense of any organization or entity that Trump assigned blame to (WHO, China, etc.), and they also did whatever they could to trash anything that looked like it might help reduce the effects of the pandemic prior to the election.

People on a particular side of the aisle were "TERRIFIED" that the vaccine would be released before the election.

You'll recall, for example, that many of the people and organizations that shame everyone as "anti-vaxxers" for being wary of the vaccine, did that very same thing just prior to the election, spreading FUD (including Biden himself):

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/01/health/eua-coronavirus-vaccin...

Ivermectin, a life-saving drug WHO-listed essential drug (found ineffective for most for COVID) that has a side-effect profile close to that of the antibiotics we as a country receive so many prescriptions of like candy, was referred to as "horse paste", and do you know why some idiots were resorting to getting the animal kind instead of the human kind? Because the media and the establishment treated this relatively harmless drug as something evil and so people who are inclined to believe everything is a conspiracy, had that further reinforced in their minds, so they did whatever they could to seek something that the establishment was actively trying to keep from them.

I was thinking about how the detection system would work. We'd send up a bunch of satellites with specific detectors on them, then we send out a burst of neutrinos which will ring all the dense fissionable material like a bell. The satellites then record the pinpoint location of where any of it is anywhere on the planet.

That could be the beginning of the novel/Netflix series/pre-announcement mystery as all the scientists in the world notice something just happened, but aren't sure what for a while...

I also love the idea of doing it all as a hoax. Like a bluff. We mock up fake demos and then convince the entire world we have this power to detonate any nuke anywhere as if we owned it... And say, "We really don't want to have to demonstrate it for real, but if we have to." And the world voluntarily disarms...
My complain was about this policy let this happen. Obviously in a company like Google there should be company wise rule which won't let a stranger able to send notification to my phone.
I think this was the single most damaging bit of fortune cookie wisdom I experienced in my entire time at my previous job. Blatantly toxic behavior was constantly brushed aside with the phrase "assume positive intent!"

> There are con artists and sociopaths out there. Marth Stout claims 4% of the population falls into this category.

That's the general population. What do you think the proportions are at high-growth tech companies? What about the further and higher-up you get in your career? Sociopaths are attracted to places where they can wield power and domineer over others.

My general philosophy: start from a place of neutrality to mild positivity. As your interactions with a person increases, gather datapoints and weigh them based on their context and severity of the behavior. Build up a picture based on actions and evidence and then, for God's sake, remember it.
Yeah, like that crackpot Alvarez and his nutty "an asteroid killed the dinosaurs" theory!

My first run-in with this was a customer that complained that their computer was slow. When I had a look at it, it was an HP laptop about 10 years ago. While booting I noticed a funny message in the direction of "For full capacity please buy this external power supply from HP". Looked at the power lump and it was about 60 W and the computer had a bad battery so could not keep up at all. They sell expensive laptops and expect you to throw away the power supply and buy a new one?
I agree that robbing someone of their agency sounds very important; however, if I make assumptions about how someone feels, that could rob them of a potential opportunity, or it could also give them a new opportunity depending on the nature of my assumption.

Either way, their capacity to act (agency) remains intact.

The very important phrasing, in my estimation, can lead people to neurotically question their feelings less they "rob" someone of the capacity to act. In reality, a more lax quip such as "assuming makes an ass out of u-&-me" gives people more breathing room for their lapses in judgement.

As a 3D artist who uses a lot of photoscans -- the scan quality looks fantastic to me! Photoscanned assets aren't usually meant to hold up up close, they're more intended for quickly building out a larger scene. Additionally, the material you see straight out of the app can be enhanced significantly with some common shader tricks like faking a bump/roughness map. Lastly, good lighting makes a world of difference when using photoscanned assets. Personally, I've just joined the beta and expect I'll be taking advantage of it heavily for several upcoming CGI projects.

I believe (although it isn't my field) that Semiconductor physics is considered to be ultimately grounded in condensed matter physics, right? So we could look at the ridiculous idea that transistors could just keep getting tinier and tinier as a bit of a crackpot idea. Turns out these physicists managed to "yes, and..." their way into controlling, what, most of the economy?

Go would have nominative interfaces Like most other languages.
