In my experience, Atmos audio tracks are especially offensive. So I usually use ffmpeg to mix them down to stereo while boosting center = dialogue a bit.

To be honest, I don't think that's a very fair comparison time:distance wise. Cambridge is infamously time consuming to get to by train and that's a very good route in Spain, they are not all that quick.

For example Peterborough which is quite some miles north of Cambridge runs trains to London in 51 mins.

What about Milton Keynes > London in 34 mins, Reading > London in 30 mins and so on.

Obsessive love is bad if it leads to bad outcomes, but Crumb himself has been happily married for decades. It seems very judgmental to pile on criticism of the style of someone's obsession - when most of his own work is devoted to disentangling those obsessions. It's also unkind to pronounce his work a "trash fire". Surrounded by hypocrites who don't have the self-reflection, intellectual honesty, or skill to reveal their inner dichotomies and turmoil, who are we to criticize someone for trying to download their inner mess to the rest of us? Sure, he's an easy target, but it's obnoxiously priggish to deride the one guy who puts it in print while you and your neighbors have the same or worse obsessions that cannot be spoken or named.
Just to counter the “mainland Europe has superior trains” kind of argument. I find the IC in the Netherlands to be old, crowded, dirty and uncomfortable.

I think it is more about a structural change in EU politics: Far, far more right-wing adherence and populist parties at the top. This means poor stewardship and knee-jerk politics, which does tend to lead to war.
I wanted to show up with an argument about how third-party sellers were lazy, but I think Amazon can fix this if they want to. If typing "4GB SD card" is parsed by their search engine into "select * from items where storage_capacity='4GB' and product='SD card'", then sellers that don't update their metadata simply won't sell another card ever again. As a result, they will instantly update their data and make sure it's correct. (I suppose "make sure it's correct" is where the plan becomes less clear, given how many fake drives there already are on Amazon. I guess they can figure that out with return rates, but by then a lot of fossil fuels have been squandered and a lot of time has elapsed.)

I think I pieced this together from Wikipedia at one point, but don't have the exact ref: The strangeness that December sounds like it should be month ten comes from the fact that in Roman times, it was the tenth and last month. After that there was just.. not much going on until the new year started and in fact it was actually a political question as to which day March started on! Does anyone know this more precisely and/or have a link?
The argument I’ve heard against this is that Sunday is a week”end” day, not a week “start” day - here interpreting “end” as “terminator” rather than something like “bookend”

Auto-multiplication support to Mate(arithmetic expression parser)
By PR [#19](https://github.com/theiskaa/mate/pull/19). Mate, now, can automatically understand and parse auto-multiplication needed cases.

For example: 5(5 / 2) is same as 5 * (5 / 2), In this case, to make calculator understood this expression, we have to add a PRODUCT(multiplication) token manually between two token numbers. (in this case between 5 and (5 / 2)).
No, the order of the cards is preserved. The "cutting" of the deck is just a rotation.
Agree. So it's sort of like "stand up or shut up", if you really think they're such a threat, then do something about it, otherwise stop yer whinin' and get to building something great together, or at least get along.

Unless we decided, "hey we did British colonialism, maybe we can try Chinese colonialism?" I don't think people would go for that tho.

It's an interesting possibility tho. Why would they invade? Maybe: too many people, need more space; need more resources; they want to "enslave us". I don't think any of these are that likely. Australia would make a shit colony: they'd constantly be plotting to rebel, too lazy to do real work, too demanding. It wouldn't work. The Chinese need workers? They have better at home. They need space? They still have lots undeveloped at home ("ghost cities", c'mon.)

The Chinese might be able to take a portion of land for like a trophy luxury resort (or more practically resources) but honestly would they really want to? Most of the country is pretty inhospitable. Best place would be like Gold Coast, but why bother when they can just buy apartments (or mines)?

So it's basically a fanciful delusion. Are we really "all that", do we really have so much that other people want that they are going to invade? I think we flatter ourselves, it's a vanity, and that's probably the point of it.

Although, if we are concerned about invasion I think Indonesia (too many people, not enough land, strategically makes sense, little cultural overlap), or Japan (unresolved wartime trauma of stymied imperialist/nationalist ambitions, always simmering below the surface of the "ultra cute manga tech and industrial powerhouse" now in decline) are the actual threats, if there are any threats at all. Indonesia probably twice as likely due to ideological/religious vulnerability and proximity, and I don't think Japan really has any great passion for our country in particular. But saying Indonesia is a military threat to Australia has no currency in public discourse at this time, it's all "China China China". Why is that, I wonder?

I don't believe we just "slavishly follow" US narrative warfare on the issue. I think there must be something bigger driving it. It could be that it just plays so well domestically, and a democracy is always happy to purchase emotive issues to distract from substantial failures, but I think there has to be something else, that goes even beyond ancient racism, or current jealousy at their rapid development. I don't really understand it...maybe the issues have less legs than I think and will eventually die out of their own accord, but I don't think so...and I don't think I clearly understand right now what makes these China-scare narratives so popular.

You don't owe anything to a bad situation which treats you, the individual, poorly.

If someone says they're a senior and they're hired into a senior position but then it turns out that they're not really capable of doing the job of a senior that isn't the company's fault. Those are the people who companies are filtering out when they reject resumes with lots of short jobs.

The false negatives of people who left roles because the companies were bad are unfortunate but probably a lot less common.

At the end of the story they isolate us from them and prevent us from reaching the stars, I don't think the implication is that this is just due to the weird calendar system. I think its more than that, our inability to rid ourselves from our tradition and religious heritage has more profound implications. We don't look at things rationally and make decisions to improve ourselves. The aliens may have gone through similar steps in their evolution of their civilization so they probably know what it *means* if a post-interstellar species still uses a gods birthday to count time.

We aren't making any collective rational decisions yet, we build elaborate structures around tradition that more or less managed to reduce our collective human suffering at least in the northern hemisphere. It took us hundreds of years to rid ourselves from slavery and it will probably take us hundreds more to figure out that murdering billions of animals is bad for example. We might never figure out how to prevent poverty, inequality, racism, imperialism, colonialism and war. We probably make earth uninhabitable way before then anyhow.

I can see why aliens want to isolate and not want to talk to us. Not because of the calendar system we use, but because of what it represents.

Typographic Web Design: How to Think Like a Typographer in HTML and CSS (2011)
I have personally seen scores of people employed to senior and executive opportunities whos resume is a total joke. 6 months here, year there, 3 months somewhere else, etc. having worked with and under such people so many times for 6-12 months before they inevitably move on, I am not at all impressed.

But then, every time, mega corp pas them a 6 fig sign on with gauranteed bonus, 2 levels higher than their last role, so what would I know.
Why pick just one? It isn't a zero-sum game. Long term, the expected value of doing useful work is going to be higher than doing useless work. At my current company, the expectation from everyone is, "the best work of your life." Part of that expectation is fair compensation and a supportive and healthy work environment. As far as I know, no one is showing up just for the paycheck, but success would be quite lucrative for everyone.
That actually works pretty well and has worked well for thousands of years for what it was designed to do. The calendar should not necessarily follow the local climate of every region, as that can vary each year and throughout the time. They had to fix a reference point for seasons, and they have chosen the Equinox. This is a sensible reference point (see refs). But also it could be anything else as long as it's measurable and verifiable independently and does not change based on location.

The same works for the clocks. People in Sweden still use the same 24-hour clock, even though they have vastly different daylight conditions in different seasons.

The Persian calendar is actually our most precise [1] calendars to date, and it owes its precision to tying the calendar to astronomical seasons [2].

Years of working to make our country worse have led to our country getting worse. Who could have foreseen that!

The UK is in such a weird place right now. There are a group who legitimately want things to get worse because it serves their personal interest, and a group who think no matter how dumb we are, things will not get worse because we are the best country ever. They're conspiring to wreck the whole place. From Brexit to the last few PMs, to education cuts and wasteful spending, to energy "policy".

Why dont we pay just 1 $ or less for every published books. 1$ * 1 mio reader. that 1 million $. make the payment channel as easiest as possible. all in the digital format.

if readers wanted the printed version, they just go to nearby printing services.

share the income between readers, authors, and publishers.

rather than listed hundreds dollar pricing in amazon. but author just get 10 or 100 buyer. After that the books also ended in the "pirate worlds".
Ownership as a concept does not make sense to apply to non-physical things.

The vast majority of the writing I consume is free or donation supported and I personally donate around £1500 a year to a range of authors after having read and found their writings useful.

This is a far superior model to paying in advance, you get access to far more writing and the authors get paid.

I'd be curious to know what countries don't start the year January 1st and where the origin of their chosen day comes from.

I know China's new year is different by a ~3 weeks?

Also, I only know a little USA and Japanese culture but it's interesting various calendar related things like where I grew up, SoCal, elementary, middle, and high school school started 2nd week in September. College also started around the same time. In Japan it starts first week of April and so do new jobs for college grads (Japan generally makes a distinction between no-experience college grads and experienced employees and job listing will often say which one the job is for)
In Europe, its even a bit more. Early hopping is fine/explainable, I've personally only profited tremendously by doing it in first 6 years (increased my net income 20x compared to first full time job, but I started really low and and gradually moved to best paying region in Europe).

But even at those 5-6 years recruiters/hiring managers start to notice, you better have some good story to explain since they will ask. They do care much more if hopping is recent compared to 5-10 years ago. For more senior roles its simply a no-go, I mean think about it - it would be a net loss for the company to hire such a person, and if its obvious from the start why cause this to yourself.

Companies want stability, especially on senior level. If they change, they want to be in control of the change and not the opposite. Instable persons won't bring that, you don't need 30 years of management experience to realize this.

Note that cracking the NT hash rarely results in escalation of privileges due to the pass-the-hash vulnerability. There is almost never any need to crack NT hashes.

The attacks you need to defend against are:
1) online password guessing, 2) Kerberoast, 3) cracking NTLMv2 authentication handshakes, 4) cracking DCCs (Domain Cached Credentials).

1) is solved by applying a moderate list of banned passwords, a sensible lockout threshold and MFA for things on the internet.

2) and 4) are only against high privileged accounts, as they imply access to a low priv account already. (You need an account to request kerberos tickets and if you can read DCCs, you usually can compromise at least a computer account). High privilege accounts should never be accounts that you log on with before you can access a password manager, so they should simply use a 16 character randomly generated password. Make this a requirement in your org, perhaps crack passwords yourself regularly to confirm.

So you're left with 3) which is effectively salted and orders of magnitudes harder to crack compared to NT hashes.
