I've found that Radicale works very well for DAV calendar, tasks, address book. I combine it with Syncthing for files, and use Obsidian.md as the note-taking application (using the synced folder for storing the notes folder). Of course when you have a synced folder you can use whatever note-taking application/system you want.

I'm not sure if that will work on iOS since iOS doesn't really have a filesystem - there are apps available on iOS for Syncthing and Obsidian, but I don't know if Obsidian will be able to access the Syncthing synced folder. But it works great for me on Linux PCs + Android. Much better than Nextcloud which is too complex and is a pain to administer over time. Syncthing is super simple to set up does file sync very well, much better than Nextcloud does. Radicale is also easy to set up and just works.
This is very interesting! I need to manage my daughters phones as well as my ex-MiL who I still do tech support for. The Verizon Smart Family stuff barely works and I'm continually having to "fix" it. Can Jamf Now also do Android?
> If I were a Tesla shareholder and this was his actual masterplan to maximize value for shareholders

Doesn’t have to be either-or. Marketing strategy is an important part of running Tesla and given the empirical dislike of media establishment of him, ensuring Twitter won’t go against him on a whim of the board seems strategically important.

> business holdings will got tainted by his politics like what happened with Trump

Is there data on Trump businesses doing materially worse overall after the taint? I assume the half of US that like him bolster it and the other half see the taint but the vector sum is material here.
We have no defense pact with Taiwan, and are not obligated to engage. Our official stance is strategic ambiguity, but Ukraine has showed how unlikely we are to join the fight. We will try to follow much of the same sanctioning, intelligence, and providing arms playbook, but with less international support.

Your scenario presumes we are in open conflict with Chinese troops, in which case landing marines is merely an escalation of a war that’s already begun.
Interesting. I suppose the strategy is to get everyone to use Apple Business Essentials (https://www.apple.com/business/essentials/), which isn't yet available outside of the US.

High framerates are cool but often I wish more games had the option to cap framerate at 30/40/45 and use less battery/produce less heat instead of racing to 120fps.
> only in the specific passage where you find the literal meaning uncomfortable.

The simplistic meaning is not "uncomfortable", it's ruled out (or at least made questionable) by the text which precedes it. For the other passages there is no such apparent contradiction.

> If you at least were consistent in your interpretation

For all the other passages, there is no difference between "creating" and "making visible", because there was nothing obscuring the view of the observer. (I suppose that most of the fish species wouldn't have been visible because of the depths or areas where they live, but an observer could have noticed at least some local sea creatures).
What are the better investments?
Thank you for clarifying. You are a bit wrong, and I'm not a tax accountant, but speaking from experience as someone who has had options that have vested and exercised in startups, and have paid taxes on them. I appreciate you engaging with me and I'm trying to help you.

If you buy an option right now in uber, you will not be taxed until you exercise that option (I'm 99% sure of this -- I don't trade options, but also I think you can buy/sell options contracts themselves, and I don't know the tax implications of that) You will either have a capital gain, or a capital loss. An option is the right to buy/sell a stock at a price. You don't get taxed until the moment you actually buy/sell the asset.

When you are given options in a startup they work the same way, it's just a contract, you will have no tax implications until you actually receive something of value, by exercising the right to purchase the stock.

> So a very low strike price seems to force employees to pay taxes when they vest.

People don't pay taxes when the options vest, because that's just a part of a contract. People pay taxes when they exercise the right to purchase those options which converts them into shares. If your equity is worth 100,000 FMV and your strike price for those options equals 10k and you do nothing, you have no tax. If you execute that contract, you pay 10k, get 100k worth of stock, and have a 90k gain. That's what you are taxed on.

This is what forces people in startups to pay taxes and the dangerous part is you might pay taxes and never get a chance to sell the stock.

I'll share two examples:

- I've exercised options where the strike price == FMV, and paid no tax. But the operative word you keep mixing up is vesting and exercising.

- I also currently have options that are vesting in 10 days, and I will not pay tax until I exercise them.

RSUs are different, because they are literally actually stock, it's not a contract to buy stock, so you are given an asset, and you are taxed appropriately for it as you had a capital gain. (The same as the second half of an options contract, you get stock, you are taxed on the value that you get)

Does this help to clarify?

An example of DIMM vs non-DIMM (soldered) ddr signal integrity analysis is in here: https://www.signalintegrityjournal.com/articles/1731-signal-...

And the connectors aren't just increased resistance, but cause reflections of the wave.

And surely the routing issues are self-evident? No constraints of pushing all the signals through a specific pinout edge connector.

All that is (one of) the reason all gddr is soldered, and apple's M1 gets a super wide memory bus at low power by being even closer on-package.
We don't have to.

By generally accepted rules of engagement the totality of investors think that Twitter is worth 30% less than what Musk is offering.

That's the difference between Twitter's market cap and Musk's very tender offer.

There's no better way of asking investors how much they value a stock than by allowing them to bid in an open market.
Airplanes are safe in part because we've already made all the mistakes and learned from them. How many (deadly, expensive) mistakes would it take to get lighter-than-air craft to the same point?

But you’re right in spirit.
I try to avoid swap for latency critical things.

I do a lot of ci/CD where we just have weird load and it would be a waste of money/resources to just shelf out the max memory.

Other example would be something like Prometheus: when it crashes and reads the wal, memory spikes.

Also it's probably a unsolved issue to tell applications how much memory they actually are allowed to consume. Java has some direct buffer and heap etc.

I have plenty of workloads were I prefer to get an alert warning and acting on that instead of handling broken builds etc.
How having some twitter account affect his safety? That twitter account just re-post data that is completely public already.
Yeah, I know of a company that was using a first gen xserve up until last year. Something broke and they couldn't get (or couldn't justify the price of) replacement parts, but nearly two decades of use is very impressive.
I never understand this question being used as a gotcha. Yes a sterile woman is a woman. Pregnancy and birth are just examples demonstrating womenhood. There's also lots of other things: XX chromosome, menstruation, bone structure, physical strength, and emotional intelligence just to name a few.

The trouble comes when it absolutely will not, because the sound of the 'vintage digital gear' is heavily influenced by the primitive DACS and typically non-miniaturized circuitry putting out a relatively low-bit sound with some serious beef to it.

This does not apply to the Teenage Engineering… except to the extent that they've specced it out with fancy internal parts. They may well be avoiding jellybean op-amps etc. and producing unusually high quality analog stages. It IS possible to do that: I think Make Noise does it very well, and from what little I know about the Teenage Engineering thing, I wouldn't be surprised if they were performing on a very high level even though there's nothing retro about any of it.

I'd love to see someone do a seriously overkill Pi DAC/ADC hat. What you're saying is not exactly untrue… just that the people habitually saying these things are also the farthest from being able to MAKE it be as true as they think. The Teenage Engineerings of the world are more likely to be able to deliver the goods.

That's amazing, I haven't heard of these terms before. I looked through some of the solutions posted here (GitLab Merge Trains, mergify, ZUUL Gate) and they are awesome.

I just felt that merging into main without having 100% confidence that acceptance tests would pass means that true continuous delivery isn't achieved. But with these tools, we can make sure that our software is always in a releasable state (according to our test suite). I learned a lot today.
Ad.fly! I just also responded to the parent about trouble downloading a mod, and you’ve reminded me it was this site.

I’ve dealt with shitty as infested download websites, but this one took it a whole new level. I had to disable UBO, and even then getting the download was nigh impossible.

I agree it’s not worth the trouble, just avoid, the website is a whole new level of user hostile.

In regards to Curseforge, I agree it’s not great, but at least it works.

I don’t like 3rd party launchers or mod management applications, so for our little server I just make .zip available with a readme with pictures.

What’s useful about Curseforge is that with just a mod identifier, you can construct links using an excel formula with the url setting download filters to be for our client version automatically. So I use an excel sheet to help me keep track of the mods and make it easy to check for updates.
As a Google enthusiast, I appreciate the comprehensiveness of that list, but what it includes is ridiculous. A toy watch face app ("Together") doesn't belong in the same list as Google Reader.

> The Russian people are also ultimately responsible here.

I would be interested to learn about what steps you've taken to curb the abuses of your government. Surely your own government is not without fault, and through your logic you are responsible for all their transgressions.
That's roughly the same model that Facebook and other social media platforms employed in the US. See where that got us.

I agree that outright banning information has all sorts of subtle knock-on issues. But simply assuming that authoritative data will overcome misinformation assumes that everyone regards the data as being authoritative. If they don't (and they definitely don't) then that model breaks down. Look at the rejection of scientific data around the efficacy of masks or vaccines as just one recent example of the problem here.

> I have to ask - by "diverse", do you mean "different people from
different backgrounds who have different viewpoints"?

Yes, people and institutions, and technologies.

What gives security is something like "hybrid vigour" obtained by the
whole system because it has evolutionary resilience (it's survivable,
at least in part, to the greatest range of possible threats)

Parts of a resilient system can even be in moderate tension as they
keep a check on each other.

For examples; it would be stronger to have both centralised and
distributed philosophies represented; it would be good to have a
mixture of public and private funding models in operation; small and
large entities capable of agile innovation, and reliable scale.

That makes it hard for a malevolent or erroneous force to infiltrate
and take out the whole barrel of apples.

Of course, diversity of gender, religion, race, age, political leaning
and wealth tend to make a more interesting and vibrant workplace, but
that's not primarily what I am saying.
Kohl did the same in Germany by pushing copper cables instead of fibre in the 1980s since the former minister for post and telecommunication, Schwarz-Schilling, was the owner of a company manufacturing copper cable. Typical example for corrupt politicians of Kohl's CDU party.

To clarify, it works in 98/Me mode because I added a fallback implementation to Rust9x for these systems, as the flag in question is not supported.

AFAICT it is supported since NT 3.1, though, and it worked fine on all NT-based systems I've tested so far, so my guess would be a ReactOS API bug.

The commit adding the 9x/Me fallback implementation:

How Polyester Bounced Back
I think algorithmization is a must for programming. (Like you said, transforming/filtering data, results, structures, etc.) No questions about that. But grilling candidates for hours about it seems "a bit" excessive. (Which is again qualitatively different from asking someone to write a few lines of pseudocode/python/whatever-they-want to map/reduce something or ask them how they would implement a calculator, a few pointed questions about knowing the basics, etc.)
"Marvell 98EX5630 Ethernet switch, 6x 100GbE on the rear of the chassis = 600Gbps. 25GbE for each drive * 24 drives = 600Gbps providing a 1:1 ratio"

Whats the appeal of proprietary drives talking to fiber switch directly versus NVME chassis with 3 2x100G PCIe NICs on the back? From logical point of view there is no difference. You can parturition, provision, bond it up just the same. You just move PCIE-fiber conversion from central point (cheaper) to bespoke solution inside proprietary drives (sounds expensive vendor lock-in).

By and large, having access to Windows APIs is rarely a problem. Since Vista they have locked down the OS a bit so you may have to ask for more permissions (or straight admin). More importantly is: are all APIs you need documented? You can still use undocumented calls but they won't be stable.

Replacement 'window managers' were a bit of a craze years ago. I remember running a version of OpenSTEP.
Good point, either a prefix ! or a different letter say could be used.

> Is Musk known really for his shrewd political skills and sharp maneuvers?

The question should be whether TSLA shareholders think he is, and I think most of them probably do.

(I don't own any TSLA, btw. But from what I've seen, many of his fanboys love him for being conniving while simultaneously claiming he's done nothing wrong. I believe this is an example of double-think. But the subject of this discussion is how these people might react to Elon Musk controlling Twitter, not whether their allegiance to Elon Musk is rational and rhetorically consistent.)
JPL is such an outlier it's not even worth talking about in this discussion
I think it looks like that because each program gets a single name to identify it in the Defender namespace, and that namespace seems to include a sort of general categorization. But then a program can be classified in multiple ways and blocked for multiple reasons. The people on that thread don't seem to be on corporate networks, so it seems like Defender is marking it as a "threat" for other reasons.

The whole thing is annoyingly confusing and opaque, but, I don't think the issue here is some sort of conspiracy against BitTorrent. Unsigned software is gonna trigger AV false positives, it's been that way for decades. Now they're getting AV false positives. If they started signing their code then eventually Windows would learn it's not malware. Corp networks might still opt to block it because they don't want their employees torrenting, but that's a separate issue.
This parody brought to you by the people for common sense.

I have a system76 machine that I've used for years without any difficulty until my kids school said she needed access to this weird OS called Microsoft Windows that I don't know much about so I got a second drive and resolved to try this Windows thing on a secondary drive.

Installing the physical drive was the easy part. Everything after that went south. First instead of just going to windows.com or something I got shunted to stores where they were selling entire computers. I didn't NEED a new computer just an OS. Then I found people selling things called cd keys. What are those? Who even buys an OS anymore?

Eventually I figured out you can download something called an ISO file (what is that?) from microsoft and pay for it later? It looks like I'll be paying hundreds of dollars for what comes standard with Linux isn't that crazy? Then I tried to "burn" the iso to a usb drive and THAT didn't work so I borrowed a portable usb optical disk and bought some writable disks at Walmart like it was 1999 and finally got it installed whereupon it took a giant shit on my computers ability to boot anything except Windows. At first I thought it destroyed all my data on Linux and I about had a heart attack but after hours of troubleshooting I realized I just had to restore the ability to choose my OS at boot time and all my data was still there and I calmed down a bit.

Then I booted up this "Windows". At first nothing worked including the internet so I had to do research on my phone. I discovered that unlike Linux windows doesn't actually come with the drivers needed for your machine you have to go to each manufacturers website and navigate their confusing site (and avoid malware sites offering drivers) and find each individual driver. If you ever need an update you will have to do this all over again unless the driver includes an auto update feature. For the stuff that does auto update if it ever causes a problem with your hardware it will probably be impossible to fix and you will just end up reinstalling windows all over again and hopefully realizing what tanked your install in the first place and people actually do this over and over again!

It had a mediocre but acceptable set of default applications. Not nearly as good as my computer came with but its ok. Then I went to install some software I'm used to and I discovered the windows app store unlike Linux has almost nothing of value and one is expected to do the same dance as above for applications just like drivers. While downloading from a seemingly legit site I acquired several weird pieces of adware and an actual computer virus. Something I had previously just read about on the internet. Good thing this insecure OS didn't have any of my actual data!

It's not surprising that few people use this "windows" thing. It's a total mess and not nearly ready for prime time. Maybe 2030 will be the year of the Windows Desktop.

I'm not familiar with this tool in particular but I'm fairly convinced now that wikis are often an anti-pattern.

If you want a wiki as a loosely federated dump of knowledge then a traditional wiki is ok, but if you want it to be instructional material (e.g. "How to build GCC on the Apollo guidance computer") or a cohesive manual, then it should really be generated by something tracked in a proper git repository.
I bought a Mac Pro in 2006 and became addicted to World of Warcraft. There was some weird bug with the GPU (Radeon x1900 XT), where it would eventually burn out. The Mac would boot, but no image on my ACD. So I schlepped the whole Mac Pro to the Apple store 50 miles away. They couldn't figure out why the GPU didn't work, so they replaced it under warranty.

Two months later, the GPU burned out again (Did I say I played a lot of WoW? Like 18 hours a day?). Schlepp this heavy beast to the store, they swap out the GPU again.

Three months later, GPU burns out again, I take it in, and they start giving me side-eye. The Mac was still under warranty, but they were sus about the whole situation. They still replaced the GPU, but kind of gave me the vibe that I was on some no-fly list.

Eventually gave up on WoW and the Mac lasted almost another decade as my primary desktop before I turned it into a Plex server in the basement.
Yeah to add to this when you study probability at a more advanced level, you learn that really what a probability is "just" an integral ie P(x) = integral{Indicator function(X)}. So it's actually not a crazy object to pop up when you're thinking about integrals and integral approximations.
