Chrome agrees with you on that: https://github.com/michaelkleber/privacy-model

The replacements they are talking about attempt to maintain the economic benefits without cross-site tracking.
In this case the storage is used directly for the editing, though. I am able to close a project on one computer, hop over to another and within seconds start editing at full speed (without requiring proxy footage).

HDDs can't provide the latency that I need, unless I was running a dozen or two to overcome the horrible seek speeds (or had at least double the RAM so the entire project would be cached in RAM).
Just don't put random characters as the answer.
> things like the x11/Wayland rift, the Snap/Flatpak vs Native Packaging battle, and all of the new abstractions do not lend themselves well to usability

Which is why opiniated distributions exist, so that users get a coherent environment from people who made the choices for them.
I found that a 'refreshing' read - reveling in the old-school sysadmin wizardry, after so many years of livestock-over-pets thinking. This server sounds like the ultimate pet.

It's just nostalgia though, I can't imagine managing systems that way (even at the less skilled level I had) any more.

But at the same time it won't stop me admiring those skills - it's like watching a traditional craftsman using old tools.
It is possible to produce infinite scenes that would produce the image, including the scene which contains the render itself as a flat object viewed through a camera. Sampling from this infinite set of possibilities isn't useful unless you introduce a ton of fragile assumptions about what you could be looking at to begin with, in which case you kind of already knew what was in the scene.
Just about all the bike locks I've seen here are flimsy, and most only used to lock the wheel to the frame so it can't be ridden away. Most bike thefts are from drunk salarymen "borrowing" a bike to ride home (riding while drunk is illegal BTW, just like driving drunk).
Yep, they saw something last time they wanted and didnt get it.
Because the hardware sucks.
I think the internet is moving in this general direction more broadly because those huge companies you mentioned have an outsized influence in determining the future of the web.
I'm genuinely curious, why would you think FB is in a better position in the ad market than Google? I find it hard to believe that, if forced to cut one or the other from their ad budget, most companies would choose FB ads over Google. But, perhaps I am missing something?
Regulating Digital Assets
Just take a look at GTK 3+. It has to be deliberate sabotage. By Microsoft? Who knows.

I think it's funny how everyone is still trying to copy Apple. Apple gradually stopped being worth copying after Snow Leopard. After High Sierra, you'd have to be high to want to copy anything from it. I guess it's just inertia - people haven't realized it isn't good anymore.
All dogs attack posties
Not exactly. Google wants to replace cookies with something else. But Mozilla and Apple, unsurprisingly, haven't liked their proposals so far.
The point is it won't reach an equilibrium. The outside of the house changes temperature with the day night cycle. The one uninsulated wall will be closer to the outside temperature than the other walls.

As the house cools at the end of the day the uninsulated wall will be colder than the other walls and if it's below the dew point condensation will form on it. If the temperature differential is high enough in comparison to difference in insulation between the walls then enough water will leave the air to keep the dew point below the temperature of the insulated walls and so that one wall will collect the majority of moisture (at 30C a meter cubed of saturated air carries about 30mls of water so yes condensation on a surface can heavily impact humidity). Once a wall becomes moist it will still acumulate water if it's below the dew point.

You likely will have seen real life examples of this when you look at single pane windows in otherwise insulated houses and seen them fog up/ have condensate form on them while the walls around them remain dry (if you haven't seen this but have been to houses with single pane glass in your area then condensation won't be an issue where you live).

As to your 75% efficiency point it will in fact have a lower efficiency as heat transfer increases with temperature differential. Since the room has a higher temperature differential with the outside the less insulated wall will be faster at transfering heat.

That is not to say that insulating 3 walls is a bad idea, it will almost certainly improve a rooms U value, but the worse the insulation on the remaining original wall, ceiling, and floor the less difference the 3 walls will make to the rooms U value and thus how quickly the room transfers heat.
Oh, I hope some of the stories here will motivate you to seek help.
The official blog post just talks about third party cookies: https://blog.google/products/chrome/update-testing-privacy-s...

I think the main reason Bloomberg is calling them ad cookies is because it is the impact on advertising that's causing this delay. Google promised regulators that they wouldn't get rid of cookies without a replacement for advertising, and those replacements aren't ready yet. On the other hand, this is really hard and I don't know if Google is actually going to be able to do this ever.

The sources this post links to support its primary claim don’t even mention the Windows 95 desktop. The only one that comes even close was written by the same author. It also doesn’t cite anything that would support its claim.
It’s been super easy for me actually. People are like “ok, cool.”

With VSCode they support lots of languages so it’s pretty easy to explain how RStudio runs Python now.
Nicely done! Definitely one of the more unique apps out there.
The tagged line is really weird. Physically Based? Not really based indeed.
I've also little doubt that Compiz/Beryl/Fusion envy was a major motivating factor for starting GNOME3 etc. Compiz gave desktop Linux a massive boost in popularity. Prior to this desktop rendering was primarily CPU bound and did not use compositing. If these projects were born from compiz-envy, then it was for the right reasons, and maybe they could've done a good job.

But then shortly after came the iPhone, and the developers felt like they had to copy design cues from Apple. It was no longer just about improving desktop rendering and enabling new kinds of visuals. They wanted a combined workspace for the desktop and phone, and they wanted a "pattern language" like Apple, so they limited the ways in which users could tinker with their tools, aiming towards uniformity. The GNOME3 designers/developers in particular had a very pretentious attitude and ignored complaints.

It might not have been so bad if they had succeeded right away, but the earliest releases of GNOME3 and KDE4 were heavily bug-ridden. The whole desktop would crash, or come out with strange glitches. Sometimes you would lose your desktop configuration and had to start from scratch. People who were using Linux for real work would have to revert back to something more stable, and the newer desktops had already left a sour taste.

None of this had anything to do with Microsoft.
Do you offer different price by country, like Netflix? If so, possibly worldwide abusers just impersonate as Argentinian and share the account.
ECC RAM, yay! I've read so many posts like this where they did NOT use ECC RAM.
I've done quantitative testing on shake tables and I've not seen any situation in which split lock washers yield a benefit-- low torques, high torques, rigid assemblies, assemblies with a decent spring constant and flex in them, etc. I didn't believe that conventional wisdom could be so wrong-- but they either break even within my ability to measure or do worse.

I omit them whenever I can, now.

Tooth lock washers are pretty bad, too-- though sometimes they are slightly beneficial. I don't think they're generally worth the surface damage they cause for minimal benefit.

Mostly, you can ignore any locking device. And if you need one, a nylock nut, or a threadlocker crayon, or a wedgelocking nut, etc, is infinitely superior. (And of course, there's castellated nuts and safety wire for really critical stuff).
For me it was a bit later in 2009 when I was giving a presentation for a position at Imperial College using my Dell laptop running Ubuntu and it crashed when plugging in the VGA cable for the projector. There was an iMac at the back of the room taunting me.

Got the job via the EU in the end and bought a 2010 13” MBP which was rock solid for many years.
I already said there are a ton of people better than me.
It still is, and I think its legitimate still - the R5 can record 8K video but of course real time encoding of that is going to generate a lot of heat.

A Cinema body has a lot more room for heat sinks, and can more easily accommodate fans - you're a lot more likely to be using an off-body mic on the cinema body. And then you have a larger battery for the chips and recording time.
The big advantage of using Firefox that you don't get with Brave or UnGoogled Chromium is that you are supporting browser engine diversity.

I love RStudio/Posit and really appreciate everything they’ve done for R, RStudio, tidyverse, etc but I’ve worried if they’ll stay in business because all the best stuff is free.

I pay for R Server Pro and it’s kind of nice for scientific computing. But I pay way less than for other “data science” server frameworks.

I hope this helps them stay solvent.
I think strategically they should encourage their voters to support whichever major party supports electoral reform (adopting a voting system that doesn't have the spoiler effect), and only vote third party if neither of them do.

In practice what this means is putting the Democrats on notice that they have to support RCV in every state, otherwise supporters of electoral reform will deliberately sabotage the party's chances and throw each election to the Republicans.

This is from the "don't mess with me! I'm crazy enough to do it!" school of thought, which worked so well against the "split or steal" choice given in a famous quiz show clip.[0] That game was deliberately designed to be equivalent to the Prisoner's Dilemma, just as the US voting system ends up being.

I found Wikipedia most inconsistent when dealing with academics. Whether living academics are included or not has no relationship with whether they are prominent or influential. That is, May prominent academics do not have wiki pages, and many academics with wiki pages are not prominent.

Eg Donna Strickland did not have a wiki page until after it was announced that she won the Nobel prize. People who win Nobel prizes are not overnight successes and were prominent long before getting their prize.
No I doubt it. Why does everyone forget about the “game” portion of the metaverse? You can’t just build it and expect people to join if the underlying game isnt fun. If it’s just some digital hangout spot then that’s boring sorry - been done before and most people don’t care about virtual chat rooms.

I don’t think FB knows how to make games. They know how to make social media platforms and web technologies but making games is it’s own skillset.
There exist Duolingo addicts. If you count that as "productive intellectual activity", then they're a great example. I'd certainly argue that it is productive.

Amazon etc have all this video surveillance and problems with making AI smart enough to gain useful data from it; I'm wondering when someone connects that to a video game like in Stephenson's "Reamde" so that pasty basement game nerds worldwide can contribute to the massive state panopticon.
Those "pushing the boundaries" always end up using a similar logic. However, there's always going to be a large segment of society whose rules are based around non financially oriented methodologies, such as: "morals", or directly from spiritual texts which disallow certain practices, or historical "customs". Such things are not "illegal" per se, but it's largely held as being reprehensible by a large number of people nevertheless & causes a large amount of friction within society.

Then there's the issue of marketing/propaganda (which the parent mentions as "hammered") whose sole purpose it's to change people's minds in an emotional way. I wish people would learn about Edward Bernays, nephew of Freud, who instituted this. In and of itself, propaganda has never been illegal, but no one likes to admit to being emotionally manipulated. (But when you begin to pay attention to your emotions, you can spot this stuff from a mile away).
Back in 2004? they would ship CD's to Colombia, even if you put like 20 in the form you would get them a few months later and could share with friends.

Can I just say... no thanks? I've gone through that process and successfully appealed a deletion before, but it's a dumb policy to begin with. I'm already volunteering my time to create articles for a supposedly open encyclopedia. I'm not going to waste my time arguing with your bureaucrats about whether it's noteworthy enough.

Either Wikipedia culturally decides in favor of openness or you just drive away editors. No ifs and buts about it. Its bureaucracy sucks and has gotten worse over time.
And these are common in everyday life due to screensavers, right?
ColdFusion was such a horrendous product and I was kind of put off of RStudio for a while when I found out Allaire started it.

ColdFusion was something that seemed cool and was kind of clever but it had so many runtime bugs and was way worse than PHP, ASP, and JSP.
Ah, you'd better use Chrome, then. They hardly even claim to care about privacy!

In fairness to them, VRChat is/was the dominant VR social avenue and it doesn't exactly have cutting edge visuals. But there is something quite bland about that meta video. Like you have all this creative freedom and you choose a desk and some bobble heads.

> The Hunter Biden laptop controversy involves a laptop computer that conservative media outlets claimed without evidence had belonged to Hunter Biden. They further stated that the laptop had been dropped off but never collected.by an unknown individual at the Wilmington, Delaware repair shop of a blind proprietor in April 2019.

Three paragraphs saying it's all made up, you can't trust the NY Post's reporting, it's probably just Russian propaganda and then it finishes with:

> In March 2022, The New York Times reported it had authenticated some emails "from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop."[10][11] Also in March, The Washington Post reported that two security experts authenticated thousands of the 129,000 emails, though the vast majority of the laptop contents, including most of its emails, could not be authenticated.[12] Among the emails that The Washington Post was able to authenticate was the Pozharskyi email that formed the basis of the New York Post's original article.

> I would be extremely cautious about using any consumer grade TLC or quad-level-cell SSD in a "NAS" for serious purposes because of well known write lifespan issues.

I don't know what you're using your NAS for, but the author is using it as scratch space for raw video files. It's not an OLTP DBMS or anything. It just needs really fast ingest of files beyond the capacity that a DRAM cache can provide.

> I also cannot even imagine spending $4000+ on a home file server/NAS with copper only 10GbE NIC and it not having at least one 10G SFP+ interface network card.

The author's editing rig doesn't necessarily have a 10G NIC, let alone being attached to a 10G switch with runs of CAT6a; and there's only one device talking to this NAS at a time (as the author cannot be in two places at once.) So what'd be the point?
None of the counterexamples you tried to give are actually in the article.

That’s the story for them. I also think it’s possible to do this with code for APIs in different files.
If you've got an opinion on some issue, especially a strong one, then you're on a side, and there is an 'other'. Be careful not to conflate a sense of your own independence with a sense of your own lack of biases or immunity to human irrationality.
That's generally the case until the politics target your fellow employees. Abortion is a healthcare issue and an HR issue that may affect any employee, and anti-LGBTQIA politics definitely can affect your co-workers' rights and their healthcare. Religion overstepping in the workplace, especially when laws are involved is another political issue that affects employees' relationship with their employer. These types of politics are difficult to keep out of the workplace because employment law crosses many of these boundaries, and most employees want to see their co-workers prosper.
From my memory GNOME 3 and Unity were created because there was a trend to make all interfaces both desktop and mobile friendly, Ubuntu tried to ship a phone using Unity, and GNOME 3 was advertised for its tablet friendly interface.

For Windows world there was Metro UI of Windows 8, Apple insisted on using different UIs for desktop and mobile and was laughed at.

It's almost like I wrote "scene parameters" for a reason.

> While these techniques came closer and closer to photorealism, another question arose: what if instead of going from a 3D scene to a 2D image (rendering), we went from a 2D image to a 3D scene? As you may imagine, reconstructing 3D scenes from 2D information is quite complex, but there have been many advances in the last few years. This area of study is called inverse graphics.
I don't think lack of participation from other browsers has been a big component. Firefox actually gave some excellent feedback on the FLoC API. [1] Instead that it's just been really hard to get these new privacy preserving APIs working well. Turtledove/Fledge, for remarketing, in particular, is extremely complicated and not done. Making something fully privacy preserving that recovers no revenue isn't especially difficult, and making something that recovers revenue but has fatal privacy issues is not that bad, but solving both of these at once, while building a system that has good performance on real devices, is somewhere between really hard and not possible.

Only for politicians, it’s been 20 years that I haven’t met an European who consider the us an ally, and I’ve lived in Uk Germany Netherlands and Italy, but so far we’ve voted US allying politicians because of the threat of nationalist parties, but at least in Italy is about to change due to the energy crisis we’re going through thanks to us
As for the GIA when shit hit the fan it was swiftly infiltrated by the military to stage false flag terrorist attacks, target political opponents within the military and further demonize the Islamic party. The same military that got the green light from the ex-colonizer to stage the coup in the first place.

Then in 1999 after 250,000 people died and the FIS and Islamists’ images were totally destroyed, the government gave the “terrorists” amnesty and cash in exchange for peace. No jail, no criminal record, no legal. proceedings whatsoever. Almost like family.

Most people don’t care about democracy. Even the US who has waged countless wars in its name ironically has like a 55% avg voter turnout.

Thanks for this. I still didn't understand what was meant. To be certified as taking an SDXC card (and by that to have the right to display the logo), a device was required to be able to read exFAT.

Mandatory in this case does not mean that it couldn't be formatted with something else, it doesn't mean that devices weren't allowed to read cards formatted differently, and it didn't mean that manufacturers or distributors of cards were forced to use exFAT, as long as they didn't care about the logo, and weren't concerned about customer support being overwhelmed by people screaming that their new card was broken. It does mean that if Linux couldn't read/write exFAT, it would be incompatible with most available devices, and people would be screaming about how their Linux was broken.

Got it.
What's wrong with proxy footage, though?

Dwarf Fortress has Adventurer mode, which, although less developed than the more famous Fortress mode, is still really deep, under slow but active development, and has the unique value prop that you can build a fortress, leave it on autopilot, create an adventurer, go visit the same fortress, chat with the locals, maybe go kill some monsters in the caverns. You can retire an adventurer, switch back to fort mode, see your old character become one of your citizens, and so on.
