"Many journaling proponents insist that this only works if it's hand written but I disagree."

This is one of those things where people mistake what works for THEM as universally the best option. It's tedious.

I journal longhand in notebooks. I enjoy that aspect of it, and I like fountain pens, and at this point it's one of the only times I actually WRITE vs type. But that doesn't mean MY approach is best for YOU.

Since when do individuals have an obligation to share knowledge for free?
FWIW, I assume it adds a (maybe one frame) delay. It _is_ on by default when you've rotated or transformed the output (and for "secondary outputs".... whatever a "secondary" output is). From 'amdgpu(4)`:

Option "TearFree" "boolean"
Set the default value of the per-output 'TearFree' property,
which controls tearing prevention using the hardware page flip‐
ping mechanism. TearFree is on for any CRTC associated with one
or more outputs with TearFree on. Two separate scanout buffers
need to be allocated for each CRTC with TearFree on. If this op‐
tion is set, the default value of the property is 'on' or 'off'
accordingly. If this option isn't set, the default value of the
property is auto, which means that TearFree is on for rotated
outputs, outputs with RandR transforms applied and for RandR 1.4
secondary outputs, otherwise off.

Edit: Also, distro packagers are quite able to set this on-by-default. It is configurable, after all. If you don't like the default that your distro has chosen, go chat at em. :)

It's one of many threads posted here that you manually decided to open.
I'm not sure if I see where this article misses this point. Can you point me to specific statements that lead you to draw this conclusion? The article seems to be attributing to the Buddhist atomist precisely the ultimate sense, in which the conventional sense is the one denied as ultimate.

(N.b. there appears to be a similarity between the conventional/ultimate distinction you've explicitly mentioned and the Aristotelian-Thomistic distinction between accidental form and substantial form. In the former case, we may speak of artifacts like chairs, computers and clay pots whose telos is extrinsic and observer relative (to borrow a Searlian expression) whereas in the latter case we may speak of human beings and oak trees whose telos is intrinsic. That a suitably shaped piece of fired clay it taken to be a clay pot is thus a matter of convention, but that a particular man is a human being is not. The atomist is therefore someone who takes everything to be an accidental whole arranged out of whatever he takes to be atoms.)
>Sports stadiums are massive sources of revenue for cities.

That's not true. They're almost always a net loss and either way I'm not talking about the money that went to the stadium. I'm talking about the money spent on building a single pedestrian bridge to that stadium.

>It takes more than one person working four hours a week to collect garbage for an entire city.

Obviously I meant 4 hours a week picking up trash in a single park.
Both things can be true.

Depends. I buy electronics with my VISA card for thousands of dollar, and clients sometime prefer to pay my gigs with a card as well.

Anything above 3000 will likely be cheaper using BTC.

But I see your point.
This is being downvoted as a personal attack but I think Card is an interesting case that deserves attention. His books are steeped with empathy and the power of understanding others' perspectives (even alien species!). The fact that he began to attack others' religious beliefs and sexual orientation around the turn of the century is bizarre. I keep his story in my memory as a reminder that anyone can succumb to hatred, the same way I fear my own vulnerability when I read about schizophrenic breaks.
I'm glad to see that there are sixteen thousand full nodes because the last I heard there were fewer than ten thousand.

I have never spent actual currency to get Bitcoin but I cannot imagine being serious enough about Bitcoin to put tens of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin but then putting that money in Coinbase or something like that. (sorry YC, I know I was wrong about Dropbox and but I think I am still correct about Coinbase).
Ok, fair. I guess what I mean is more "for use in the datacenter."
California can likely hold its own on the world stage. And it pays more into the federal government than it gets out. Not saying calexit is a good idea. Just that the numbers line up.
Prototypes are never cheap. Prototypes are where all the research and design costs go. Once you have a design that works and doesn't have to be customised for each instance, you can get economics of scale because now you're just producing the same items over and over.
They've built four NPPs in the UAE that may end up producing at $0.08/kWh.

Unfortunately, UAE is also building PV that will be producing at $0.013/kWh. And since they're still burning gas for most of their power, every kWh from solar goes straight to reducing the overall cost and CO2 emission, five times cheaper than the NPPs will.
There are a lot of miners in Texas where occasionally the price of electricity goes negative because wind power exceeds demand. That's a rare scenario though, so the other 95% of the time miners are competing with consumers to buy electricity.
Uh, ELF is the least of your concerns. I imagine there are native libraries making Linux syscalls.

I’ve been toying with ideas about similar approaches to get alternative/updated OS’s on iDevices — use stock kernel for all its device drivers for the proprietary HW, then put a VM on top running Linux or whatever. Sadly I don’t think I’ll have the time for such an ambitious project.
> What's the "right" way to store person names?

Store both a unified name field and separated given name / surname fields and let the user manage both. Yeah, this risks going out of sync, but that's the user's problem, not yours. Yeah, three fields are technically more complex than one or two, but it produces less complexity down the line.
One fun paranoid thought I ponder over when getting a domain: What if someone with a lot of money and a distaste for what I write decides to buy the .com version of my site and post ugly photos of me to it? For me, I’d rather obviate that and just find an adequate .com.
No, it's not. The point of the problem is that it's better to switch than not given the scenario presented. Whether he knows or not doesn't actually change anything, he does reveal a goat. Whether it was luck or deliberate makes no difference.
As an experiment, I'd love to see a forum which required all users to use their real identities, where identities for user accounts must be legally verified through an accredited notary service, similar to E-Verify/I-9 verification.

I'm curious how much less toxic behavior on a platform like that would be.
It is, but my (inartfully phrased) question would still count it.

what I meant, though, was "for the datacenter" or "for server applications."
I don't know why you're ignoring my reality example. Germany is part of a EU wide market and it just works. Also it's not like you put all your wind on one spot. There is always wind somewhere for example.

The idea that it's an "political, environmental and special interest" problem while we're watching several nuclear plants being FAR over budget and over due being constructed in pro-nuclear countries proves that your argument is false.

So basically: everything you wrote there is wrong...why are you doing this?
This is true of ALL wireless communications platforms/hardware. I remember reading that this technique was exploited by the CIA and was used against the drug cartels from the 80's onward.
We all pay for the fees but IMO it's more than worth it considering all of the things I mentioned and more.

The other fees they rake in (I'm assuming you mean interest) are from issuing unsecured loans. That's another topic entirely.

Escrow is many thousands of years old and certainly exists in many forms in the financial system today. It's just that because of all of the other things I mentioned the average person uses it maybe a few times in their lives for very large and complicated transactions.

The suggestion to use escrow or some other kind of really convoluted system for extremely small payments when I can swipe a card anywhere in the world with all of the benefits mentioned above and more for relatively tiny fees is frankly ridiculous. Of course it makes sense for marketplaces where every single actor in the marketplace is breaking the law in the first place.

I've been involved in crypto since 2017 and I'm STILL waiting for a reasonable use case or application where it results in a net benefit for the average person.
I wonder if the information on the IP addresses is made available in a plaintext form stating the reason why they are on the list, or if it's just a blank feed of only IP addresses?

It will be interesting to see when IP addresses start being added that belong to competing ISPs or platforms that are politically opposed to the board of directors of Rogers & their political interests. For example, recently Ed Rogers fought to not have Masai Ujiri be the Raptors President and it was discussed on the Internet. Ed Rogers went to court to fight his siblings for control of the company. It was also discussed how Ed Rogers hangs out at Mar-a-Lago. Does Ed Rogers have the power to say put the IP addresses of every site that mentions the bad behaviour of Ed Rogers on the list?

What is the process? Do people sign off in meeting minutes notes with an audited trail that this address is being added or why, or is it just someone adding whomever their boss tells them to?
I'm not sure why this was downvoted, Card has openly advocated for gay people to be jailed and fought against marriage equality. A lot of his fiction work also has unflattering depictions of gay characters and relationships.

Also, most of them have gotten a rewrite worth of upgrades during their life. The Linux kernel is a good example: most of the code you use today didn't exist in the kernel 15 years ago. A lot of code from back then still exists for compatibility purposes, but is rarely used in modern systems.

That depends entirely upon the circumstances. It's unclear to me what would actually happen if that loyalty was put to the test.

They certainly might, depending on the circumstances. But it is unclear to me that the outcome would be simple.
Out-of-spec doesn't mean it can't work. It just means you have to redo the design using what's effectively a different part than you originally planned on.
I wonder how many people turn on traditional cruise control and then crash due to neglectful driving. That's what we should be comparing Tesla Autopilot against, we should compare it against the status quo.
The way they are named and designed is rather juvenile, so just think of it like not being handed Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck badges at the fair because you are an adult.
In terms of history, looks like Shotcut had Windows support a few year before Kdenlive, for one. Also the main developer of Shotcut was one of the co-creators of MLT, which is the multimedia framework behind both Shotcut and Kdenlive.

As for features I haven't used Kdenlive enough to compare, since Shotcut works fine for me (never had any crashes, though this was using the Windows version so ymmv)

It's entirely possible the host is a cheat and the prize is always moved to whichever door you didn't select so you only can ever get a goat. So don't play the game.

We can come up with a million what-ifs, but none have a basis in the problem statement so there's no point in them.
There is a big difference, "Ignorant Monty"/"Monty Fall" makes switching 50/50 instead of 67/33. The main change is that the door could have had the car, but didn't by chance, and we get to ignore the (one third of the) times he would have revealed a car by mistake. The original Monty never shows you the car because he always picks right, so those possibilities could never happen.
This is a startup idea in fact, wait, someone is doing that: https://codesignal.com is one that I just learned yesterday, but it's not 'standardized' like what SAT does.

In fact I believe software should have some qualification tests, e.g. general coding, database, cloud computing, etc. Like CPA for accountants. Each test should be valid for a few years in each category.
you could even call it certification!

My first job was doing software in the nuclear industry. Was the late 80s. Probably the best job I ever had in terms of working with extremely competent engineers. But they were all in their 50s and 60s. After TMI, a generation of engineers said "no" to nuclear careers. We can only imagine the alternate history where that accident hadn't occurred.

Given the progress (or lack of it) with the EPRs[0], I don't think "now" is something nuclear can claim to deliver on.

If we'd started planning dozens of reactors a decade ago, perhaps - but we didn't.

Nuclear simply isn't any kind of "quick fix", by a long stretch.

Right?

I mean, I tried to become an emacs person several times when I was still coding, and it just never took. My last phase of programming work was on OS X, so I had friendlier yet still capable options like TextMate, which made shifting to emacs a pretty hard ask.

Then my job shifted to a point where my preferred method of tracking activites/tasks/notes was just falling apart. I was all-in on the GTD-inspired Omnifocus, but what I really wanted was a system where I could intermingle notes with Todo items, and then ask the system to collate a list of the Todos for me dynamically.

Which, as it turns out, is pretty much a description of how OrgMode works. And, sadly, almost nothing else that I've found, and so I use emacs all the time now.

My emacs expertise, though, is pretty limited to things I need to know to be productive with Org.

If the D65538 is fair, it is usable: you just discard the two unwanted values when they show up and roll again. Those faces could be labelled as "roll again".

If you have a uniform source of random numbers from 1 to N, you can get a uniform distribution from 1 to M < N simply by discarding values obtained above M. Those values are just "rain that fell elsewhere".
Show HN: Sake – tool to run tasks on remote servers
Hi, I recently made a CLI tool that's similar to `make`, but geared towards servers. There's tons of software in this category (Ansible, Chef, Salt, Sup, etc.), but most of them are geared towards production-grade server management, which is a bit overkill I think when you're just doing some `apt install <package>` or `sudo systemctl start <unit>` for your hobby projects. With this in mind, sake was born.
I think the key is that you can skip the "pack it up" step - UPS won't ship many things that would survive shipment just fine unless they're wrapped in a box.

UPS and FedEx freight or LTL (less than truckload) is another story entirely.
It's my understanding that this is no longer true. The current system works by periodically rotating the master key, and then sending out that key to all subscribed radios by encrypting it with the radio ID.

Do you dislike Spotify in particular, or just the whole notion of music services?
I don't know, risky answer but I will give it nonetheless. This advice is given to many candidates, and I agree that Leet Code interviewing is bad and the industry needs to work on something better, but in the meantime, if you are starting out, think of it this way (and I have friends younger by 10 years or so and straight out of college and I say the same thing), a few months of studying gives you a huge salary. It's a win-win, and in the meantime, people will complain and hopefully the industry will fix it, but do not "Skip Leet Code" just because it's the cause du jour. That's just my opinion.
But people are normally okay with things that are merely interesting or entertaining even if they are perhaps somewhat frivolous, so long as they don't have any obvious large societal downsides.
