Looks decent. From the title it seemed like this only supported AMD, but you can get it with Intel CPUs, too.

I've been burned in recent years by trying to use AMD stuff with Linux and just running into even more weird, minor hardware incompatibilities than usual. For now I would not buy an AMD laptop again.
That is indeed interesting. But I would assume that the satellite coverage over the area is at least as good if not substantially better and that that data reaches Ukraine as fast as it can be collected and passed on.
Dalle-2 generates pixelart game assets
It's true that grid solar (not wind) is cheaper per kWh produced. But:
1) there are real problems with solar lacking nighttime production
2) the nuclear plants in question in Germany are mostly already functional and for the most part just need to be turned back on. That is much different than new construction of a nuclear plant
And this week a republican running for office put the faces of children who go to a non conventional school in an attack ad on "woke" that has led to them having slurs shouted at them, people trying to get into the school to film etc. etc. How do you prevent the flipside of your point?
Due dates are

- Budgeting. We're willing to spend our company's resources for X months on this. You can always do some improvements here and there and end up with forever-vaporware. A due date encourages forcusing on the most important parts and accepting "good enough" instead of getting paralyzed by perfectionism.

- A necessity when there are multiple items competing for people's time and attention. If the development team has an important project and a project with a due date, there is a high risk that the important project will end up deprioritized compared to the one with the due date. That means you have to have a due date if you don't want to end up on the bottom of the pile.

These are not laws of natures or impossible to work around, but you can either try to fight those effects... or just set a due date. Sometimes, the "lazy" way is better, because it works.

That's why people set due dates.
No. They choose to go public to finance based on the public funds instead of asking a bank loan. You go public and sell shares to get money from investors. Then you do what you think is best for the company, not the shareholders. If the company does well, hopefully the shareholders do also.

Amazon stock price went nowhere for years, no profit, but investors stick with the company. Sometimes the investors are VC's, sometimes they are the bank of Mom and Dad, and sometimes they are the stock market.
I get your point, I just figured I'd point out your misunderstanding of mastodon specifically, to you so you can better understand it. It isn't a just a twitter alternative.
I work in IC design. The foundry do not get involved in ecos. Ecos are all done at source, before tapeout to foundry. Inserting logic into an existing design would require intimate knowledge of the design, which the foundry does not have, without very extensive reverse engineering, which a single rouge actor in a foundry is not capable of.
I've always enjoyed the weird odd lots and the parks that fit in some of them in the Mission. Still hoping that eventually something gets done with the one by the Atlas Stair building [1]. I've also always wondered why Treat doesn't seem to line up with the rest of the line farther south, and this site says that it's because a small rail yard was there [2], which makes it look like Treat was a siding and the main line ran down Harrison.

Fun fact: this was also the line that used to take bodies to the cemeteries in Colma, which is why there are still a couple mortuaries around, e.g. the one right off 17th and Valencia amidst all the fancy restaurants, and apparently a working crematorium at 17th and Folsom?

On typing out the name of the resource, it is of course a way better check than just displaying it. I think it also was very efficient when there was only a few places using it, and the novelty made it attention focusing.

Thing is, we type all day, and can type pretty much any string at a decent speed without putting much thought into it.

Any of us must have mistakenly typed a full file path or API URL, just to realize it’s not the right machine or project after having typed it all. It just take 2 or 3s max after all.

I think it becomes an arms race to get attention on important things, we can do better by focusing more on every single destructive operation. We can also avoid having too similar interfaces for completely different contexts.
stars absolutely are seen as an endorsement. I'm guilty of that for sure, and I've been in a ton of conversations about adopting some thing and the "number of stars" is often a consideration unless it's a project like React or Vue, etc.

Would you really not look at two repos that do the same thing, with similar ages and recent commits but one has zero stars and the other has hundreds, and not at least initially trust the latter more?
So you prefer your waste to piped into the atmosphere instead of contained in a small pool next to the plant?
Jesus, please read Economics - the User's Guide', it explains that Neoliberalism is a school of thought in economics, real economists debate it's merits, along with classical, neoclassical, Shumpeterian, etc.

This comment is so big on hating the left, it's bordering on 'race mixing is communism'
I don't know what any of that means. How is self-awareness insulting?

Many young crypto proponents call themselves "degens" or "ape investors". Self-deprecating terms that give insight into their psyche: they know exactly what they're doing.
> But what good is a bunch of ships steaming around hiding?

Exactly. A carrier group that's not within 500nm of enemy territory might as well not exist.
Dante supports AES67 in a degraded mode (multicast only, 1ms minimum latency, 48kHz only, at least if you're not using Dante Domain Manager).
They've destroyed the dams blocking the canals supplying Crimea, established a land bridge between Crimea and the Donbass and cut off most of Ukraine's black sea access. That's enough for a "victory" in terms of domestic propaganda (especially if they have footage of captured Azov battalion soldiers), which might be why they gave up on Kiev and are manoeuvring to solidify their gains in the east.
> It is actually more of a problem than an asset, because they must guard very long shores and borders against unfriendly neighbors.

On the flip side they can afford to give up a lot of terrain while they get their act together. And now the other side has super long supply chains that they have to deal with.

He already has a social network to jumpstart a messaging platform....Tesla cars.
I think this is moving the goalposts. According to you it's not enough to have the qualifications, you need specific ones in specific sub areas. What's to stop you dismissing him by dividing it up even more if it turns out he's actually studied the right area?

To me it sounds a bit like when anti vaxxers dismiss doctors who aren't epidemiologists, or when people dismiss Krugman because he's a trade economist and not some other subspecialty.

Just give the guy credit for his claim that he's studied this, chances are he's closer to the area than people who don't claim expertise and otherwise let him present his case, which is what really matters anyway.
Just some thoughts, shouldn't C and Python be used in completely different projects?
Everything in life is a tradeoff. To me, the risks of keeping the nuclear plants in Germany are much lower than the risks of continuing to fund Russia.
The same mechanism applies - sponsored posts don't want to be seen with any proximity (distance or time) to image-detrimental content.
That's a very good point. To add: stability and simplicity are choices. Compare Lua to JS for example which started out similarly but Lua was kept simple and stable, while JS introduced massive churn and tooling complexity, much of it being unnecessary in my eyes.

I don't use Lua anymore but it has a special place in my heart. I started learning it to use Love2d and then got my first job as a developer out of sheer luck (someone I knew saw a demo of the game I was working on).

Back then, I didn't understand why it is important that Lua is how it is. I just thought it was to make it more accessible, and while that is certainly a consideration, I think the bigger value proposition is trust and the ability to keep the whole language in one's head with very minimal effort.

Other languages that optimize for stability and simplicity are Clojure and Go. Their respective ideas of simplicity are different but have some overlap. Both languages are very attractive and deeply relaxing.
It seems like a pretty easy feature to build. No database changes required, and I wouldn't be surprised if the API already returns the star count for the repo so it's client-side only. I'd guess somebody could do it in a couple of hours (famous last words lol). I'd guess adding that feature would be less time/effort than restoring httpie's stars. A/B testing might be a little harder since conditions like OP's don't happen often, but you could at least do some testing.
I could also imagine that they fear additional restitutions to the energy companies and want to keep that fiasco from happening again.
That's basically my point. There are plenty of good reasons for salvaging the Moskva that are completely unrelated to whether it carried nuclear weapons.

I admit that I'm triggered by Less Wrong, though.
In a technical sense, the USS Constitution, first launched in 1797, remains a commissioned ship of the US Navy.

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

Though more generally, US warships seem to have a roughly 40 year service life.

The second-longest active commission belongs to the USS Pueblo, still officially on patrol, and commissioned in 1945.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Pueblo_(AGER-2)

Otherwise, the oldest active ship in normal duty appears to be the amphibious command ship USS Blue Ridge (1970), the oldest carrier the USS Nimitz (1975), and the oldest submarine the USS Ohio (1981).

In theory, but in practice when did a billionaire do these things you’re worried about outside of a Bond film?

Doesn’t history suggest that the state is more likely to deploy capital in destructive fashion than a private actor?

I think the author, a former senior Canadian foreign service officer who has served in Washington, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, and New York, is referring to the commonly understood rules based system that all members of the G7 (at least) are conversant with:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_international_order

I would also refer you to the discussions you had with the HN user "cmurf" 4 days ago and 9 days ago, specifically, their last comment in the thread 9 days ago, which no one seems to be willing to address.

If you would like, let's try and continue from those threads, using the question at the bottom of your rather pedantic barrage here, and bearing in mind cmurf's exhortation to not let the perfect be the (strawman) enemy of the good.

I do hope we can avoid pedantic literalisms and whataboutisms and look seriously at how the rules based system as it is commonly understood by those who actually work in it operates.. - and look seriously at the changes that are happening even now to address the dysfunction in the UN security council and to address rogue nations like North Korea and Russia and their enablers in China..

These informal rules have existed since the First World War, and they have evolved through the time of the League of Nations and continue to evolve ; and, to answer your question here, if it proves necessary, the informal rules of the Western US led nuclear powers will in fact eclipse the UN Charter even if not in the actual letter of the document..

This does not mean that the UN and all other global organizations are just a fig leaf on America's naked aggression - claims along those lines are refuted in the daily news out of Ukraine.. It means that, to all nations who have been or still are in the orbit of powers like Russia and China, there is nothing they aspire to more than to be in western aligned organizations like the EU, NATO, ASEAN.. Isn't it curious that the only national governments that do not aspire in that direction are all non democratic..? It is obvious that no equivalent structure exists outside of the "rules based order" of the western world.. Just ask anyone who has the freedom to answer honestly.

We should all hope that changes of this magnitude are conducted in a way that is as orderly as possible and avoids misunderstandings about this reality from the proliferating nuclear nations that are not western aligned..

As we are all now well aware, coddling Russian dictators will not achieve clarity on this basic US backed nuclear power reality. Confusion in this matter may be beneficial to Putin's aims in Ukraine and the Baltic states, etc, but it is most decidedly not in the interest of the people of the world who will be annihilated if Russia triggers a global nuclear war.

For me personally, the processes by which these changes might safely play out are a fascinating and singularly worthwhile area of consideration.

I look forward to a discussion that we might both find interesting on these topics..
Work is being done to make them much safer
Musk himself will probably sue them immediately as the second largest holder behind Vanguard.
I would advise against this on pure UX grounds due to the existence of Valve the game software company.
This is like the Framework laptop but it's a UK-based company that has been around for years, and with an explicit focus on Linux compatibility to boot. I'm surprised I haven't come across them before as I've been looking for Linux-compatible laptops for years.

They do some things better than Framework such as supporting Ryzen processors, and seem a bit cheaper overall. The battery life seems like it would be better. They have a spare parts store as well and a full disassembly guide as well as an "open warranty". I was never a fan of Framework's swappable ports.

The biggest disadvantage seems to be that the screen is bog-standard 16:9.

I'm curious on the quality of the speakers, webcam, keyboard, and trackpad. I have a feeling they will not be great - in comparison to a Macbook at any rate.

From reviews it looks like the trackpad is poor because it is not whole-trackpad clickable, and the keyboard is also poor due to the short key travel.

Are there any other decent alternatives available in the UK?
Additional context: a GitHub employee addresses why they didn't do a backup restore in this tweet:

> Yup, all watchers go when you go private and a bunch of notification settings etc. We've tried re-staring projects in the past etc but that ends up breaking lots of peoples notification settings. It's something we should make more reversible but hard for reasons <waveshand>

> It's the reason we display this when you try to do it. But a better fix would be for us to make it more easily reversible in the future.

Right, just like Bitcoin, Ethereum, IPFS, RSS, HTTP -- open protocols have no chance of significant adoption.
There is no such theory. You can clearly see from construction pictures that those ships have displacement hulls. A displacement hull won't plane no matter how much power you put into the shafts.

Even better, flipping "public/private" has absolutely no need to delete any information at all.

There could be separate buttons, "Delete all my stars", "Delete all my watches".
Some previous laptops were rebranded Clevo, but the new StarBooks are their own design.
There is no undo there. 5 mins seems like a long time to you but to the bots that scrape GitHub repos for secret things, the time it took you to notice and reverse something yourself was already the time they needed.

If you made something public on GitHub that shouldn’t have been, it was immediately compromised, you just might not notice.
In the case of the Stark there were failures, but the incident response was much more coherent than the Russian one. All arms of the Russian forces seem to suffer from similar problems of low morale, poor discipline, poor training, etc.

It's worth looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Gloucester_(D96)#First_Gul... as another example. My understanding is that the Falklands experience resulted in lots of changes and a much higher state of readiness for these situations within the Royal Navy. Budget and tech were much harder to acquire than tactics were to develop. In the case of China, there may be some upgraded weapons which can't be countered with training and tactics.
You never once mentioned what you enjoy to do for fun. What do you like to do for fun? Do that! Don't do it for the money tho. All you have really talked about is work. Is that all you enjoy? Then why don't you go do a very hard startup or start one? If not, engage in other activities. Best of luck.
Ah, you mean transparency. Indeed, China is quite a bit behind in that regard, and I'm afraid it's to some extent cultural, but it's improving, see eg http://www.ecns.cn/m/news/society/2018-11-27/detail-ifzaaiuy... ("China's courts have livestreamed more than 2 million hearings online over the past two years as part of efforts to further improve judicial transparency").
I just call anything that isn't work - hobby. Just my shorthand for "not work"
Yes, that's exactly it.

Not any more.

I put a link to a picture of the mb upthread so you know which screw to remove.
Next step, "for the wellbeing of its citizens", the chinese government will stop censoring too critical content for a healther relationship to issues to discuss. I hope this trend continues.

Okay mutable non-frozen strings shouldn't exist either, and people should use string builders.

Really both features (symbols and mutable strings) aren't worth the literally endless bugs that they cause.
I've been writing a book and I do something similar. After every writing session I show my partner what I've written. It gives me instant positive feedback and keeps me from spending too much time rereading/editing old chapters or whatever. I've been able to relax on that a little bit as the project goes on, sometimes I have to spend every other session planning or doing research, but at first it really helped me to get the habit going.

I'm writing fiction so this tip isn't as useful to me, but for non-fiction you could try writing a series of blog posts, and then later stitching those together into your book. The posts (hopefully) give you some quick social likes to give you that dopamine hit.
Those are turbojet cruise missiles.
You're obviously right. Multiple things co-exist at Twitter.

The general narrative is toxic woke, which is the dominant culture, followed by the counter force on the right, equally toxic but far less powerful.

That's the head, and at the tails end there's lot of small things that in itself may be fine. You might find the best deepsea fishing community at Twitter.
> This blog post is literally "I read a thing from three years ago and have lost faith in something that I never believed in in the first place".

No, this blog post is "Look, here, several papers from last month showing there are still massive problems (that were presaged accurately in papers from three years ago)."

(and it's not literally that, of course. Why do people use "literally" to mean not literally?)

> Still, IMO the parasites that feed off MEV are at a significant disadvantage compared with those who feed of legacy financial networks.

Well, fortunately one can regulate these financial networks, right? Well, the legacy ones at least.
Also seems a bit suspect that they had a "perfect UI/UX example" to show how they would have handled these dialogs. Is this whole thing an advertisement for HTTPie?
Hmm, interesting point. I removed that alias early personally in favor of giving due respect to rm (especially with a `-r`!), which is probably an indicator in your favor.
There's nothing really to solve. Dry-cask storage can be used long term. The waste is secure, easily monitored, and if at some point in the future reprocessing makes economic sense that can be done too.
The value is based on recent sale prices, not peoples opinions no matter who they are.
I doubt Musk has the patience for building or owning a graph based technology business. The complexities of Twitter’s architecture are not trivial and a huge reason it’s not been successfully disrupted.

The other big reason is balancing the greater good vs unrestricted access, which has taken years to accommodate.

Musk is just an ego-centric billionaire with a lot of money and an unproven belief that Twitter could be better with his proposed changes. I’d bet he’s thoroughly aware that those changes could destroy the platform.

I believe the offer is rejected and the other top ten shareholders (all hedge funds) buy up anything he dumps and the price remains stable.
Building and SpinLaunching at above 10k feet (3km) seems like a no-brainer. It reduces heating and weight while increasing terminal altitude substantially... like 2x.

It would be more efficient, if they could use a whip effect to (match impedance) capture much more of the rotational energy they put into the spin, more like a trebuchet.
I used to think that Germany was foolish to buy Russian natural gas and fund the Putin regime which is a threat to them. And that Trump was right to tell them so to their faces.

Now I see that the Germans were right. Russia is not a threat. Putin is a paper tiger. The Russian military is nothing compared to NATO. And Germany gets NATO protection less than cost.

They are acting in their own interest which they understand very clearly, and are succeeding.

Also, I used to think that allowing Germany to remilitarize was desirable. Now I think it would be a mistake. Germany knows what's in its own interest. It will act in its own interest without shame or regret even if it hurts its neighbors (buying energy from Russia helps Germany and Russia but hurts other countries like Ukraine). Allowing the to militarize increases geopolitical risk and doesn't with little reward.
What happens to shorts? Does "debt of 1 share" just turn into "debt of cash value"?
I mean "refused to". There was absolutely no value to Microsoft in refusing to restore the deleted information, and there was no practical reason to have deleted it at all. Ultimately, it just amounts to contempt.
Like so often we can easily judge this by how willing we would be to accept the same behaviour in real life and I'm pretty certain that most would not accept an UI where you could e.g. just give away your house by writing the wrong adress into some form.
That’s not quite it. The solution isn’t to stop them from doing it or warning them more aggressively; it’s to make it genuinely less dangerous. For example, make the stars all come back when you reverse the switch.

Of course that’s a lot harder to do, since it’s a lot more than a UX change. So I’m not really slagging GitHub here. But it’s the right way to attack this problem.
