If you email me, when I’m back in the states in a week I can look through my notes about the previous such installs we’ve done, check my PPC software library and determine any modified or alternate software packages, and boot up my personal RS/6000 and run through the process myself again and fully document it.

I love how it isn’t until the third paragraph that the post mentions what country 555-XXXX numbers are relevant to.

This is the World Wide Web folks, not the USA web. The whole blog and offering seems US centric, to the point where I’m assuming it might not work very well at all for people outside of the North American Numbering plan area. We wouldn’t know because they seem to assume that the only people who are going to see this site live in the US, and phone numbers all need to have 9 digits.
I don't think solar cell recycling is mandatory, at least west of Mississippi. Going to need a reclamation fee added on to purchase price to get these disposed of in a different manner than the old tire dumps.

Yes, and in cold enough weather they can cycle that way all day. They function, but it's not terribly efficient.
I'm not sure what industry you work in, but at least in the world of US tech startups there's long been a huge culture of buying services from VCs and their friends other startups. It's almost a point of pride to be using some other early, but promising startup's SaaS product before everyone else.

Just take a look at Snowflake for probably the most successful example (though they still don't make a profit). It seemed like over night ever "big data" tech company I knew started using them aggressively with little other reason than they were the next cool startup whose product you wanted to be using.

Cherry picking? I think you’re confused. I chose the same year YOU chose to say police per capita was down 11.6%.

In that same time, property crime is down 51% and violent crime down 35% for a combined reduction of 49%.[1] So we have a whopping 58% more police per crime between 1987 and 2016.

The “unknown crime rate figure” I use is the FBI reported stats. As a word of advice, in future discussions you can assume these are the crime rates used as they represent the most complete picture of crime data we have available.

FBI’s statistics show a decrease in the homicide rate from 8.3 per 100k to 5.4 during that period. Check out the site linked, it’s a clear downward trend.

Also your final paragraph shows a complete lack of understanding on what these stats are. The FBI collects stolen bicycle stats under theft/larceny, which is included in my figures. These figures represent reported crimes. Whether they are solved or prosecuted shouldn’t affect the data, merely whether someone contacted police to notify them a crime had taken place.

So those “usual biased opinions regurgitated without thought” are not opinions at all, but rather statements of fact. Crime is down from 1987 whether looking at violent crimes, property crimes, small crimes, or big crimes. It would behoove you to put a little more thought into learning the difference between opinion and fact.

You’re correct. Supported was not the proper word choice here; given that I do know people who ran OS/2 on these systems in the 90s, and have done such installs myself, it’s a relatively painless process compared to, say, Solaris or NT on a PPC system that diverges from PReP/CHRP.

TL;DR: While IBM developed OS/2 to work on PPC, they never explicitly promoted or provided direct support for OS/2 on Motorola’s PPC. I was sloppy.
I kind of feel like this research basically says "if you give someone much more potent weed than they are used to, they won't accomplish much, even if they are used to weed."
Of course I do. Mine. That's how subjective delineations work. But, you're welcome to simply accept what "Millennial" implies instead of just allow yourself to be spoon fed some idea that a 2 year difference is necessary in defining Millennials from Zoomers.
> The article is mostly talking about things above the source code level though, including the economic and time investment needed to compile/install software, the sheer size of large projects, plugin/etc interfaces for easy extensibility,

A lot of that is made easier if the maintainer takes the time to publish all the ancillary pieces they use when making modifications to the project - secondary documentation, build environment setup support, etc.. Yes, there is always a certain level of inherent difficulty in making changes to software - apart from anything else, not everyone is capable of programming at all. But making sure you're really on a level playing field with the original maintainers in terms of tooling, environment setup, and available documentation, makes a huge difference.

Maybe as a human presence detector for security, control of musical instruments, monitoring vital signs. In all those cases you probably don't want a radio emitter near other equipment (especially in a hospital). For security systems, say as a human presence detector, you may not want to advertise your security system has a radar sensor by broadcasting RF. I think there are some research papers on using passive radar for vital signs monitoring. Indoor localization would be a good use also.

Total sperm counts have more than halved in the past 50 years to around 50 million. 15 million is considered infertile. Keep in mind there’s a wide variance between men and between each ejaculation and you only have a few chances per cycle.

My sperm counts ranged from 70 million to 12 million, so that means I already have more difficulty than I would if my own counts were doubled as at least some of the time my wife and I had sex I was “infertile.”

One more halving and a very large portion of the population will be considered straight up infertile, and the decline in sperm counts shows no sign of showing. Dogs also show the same decline.

Quite frankly I think it’s a far bigger crisis for humanity than global warming.
This is true, though. You can write most programs with simple use of types as template rags for containers, and defining only simple templates, where you just abstract over the given type itself in a “find and replace” way (no type traits, sfinae, template overload / recursion stuff).

> Can you with 100% confidence tell that all companies in all cases between those countries do business in English?

No, but in every one of those cases English is the way to bet.

> What about a Belgian company from Wallonia and a French partner? Or Luxemburg and Wallonia?

Almost certainly French because it’s the working language of both companies. If people share a native language they’ll use that. Otherwise the default is English. It’s not certain that they’ll use English but Siemens doesn’t expect its international partners to have German speaking partners for dealing with it; it does expect its executives to speak English.

Just as science has a lingua franca so does business. It is English.
I agree with the idea, but it may depend on how the X11 application was written.

My experience with X11 over a network (across a city, geographically and distance-wise) was very poor. Slow updates, just extreme latency in doing anything. Not impossible to use, but definitely unusable by any reasonable metric. We're talking dozens of seconds for most GUI interactions.

I eventually piped it through RDP (mRDP, iirc), which itself was piped through a VPN. This vastly improved performance and made it so that I didn't have to be physically present at my workstation. Just as well, since it was during the early covid timeframe.

The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

This is not hard to believe even without any malicious intention. Each round might have several investors (hopefully some repeats from earlier rounds, but there are usually some new investors each time), and startups with significant spend will have had a few rounds. If you and a customer have a dozen investors each, it's pretty likely you have an investor in common.

However, even if you have no investors in common, this effect still happens. Everyone was growing and charging each other increasing amounts of money, which lets you raise on the assumption of continued growth. Once everyone stops spending more, freezes hiring, cuts costs, lays off, and sees all their customers do the same, all the metrics plateau or dip and you suddenly can't leverage the assumption of continued growth.

That gets into what we even mean by calling someone the "inventor" of someone. Plenty of people made flying contraptions of one sort or another, such as Clément Ader, Gustave Whitehead, Richard Pearse, and Karl Jatho

But the Wright Bros caused the world to start flying, finding errors in the prior equations for lift and making practical planes capable of sustained flight as well as the means to control them.

The others on that list contributed in their own ways, but did not have the same impact.
I think I get it now. The bank is able to "create" money because it is, in some sense, the sovereign issuer of its own internal "IOU" currency. It makes IOUs (deposit records) to track who has the right to draw currency from it, and it can create as many of these IOUs as it wants for any reason. And if you classify bank deposits as money, these IOUs count as money.
They say “backed by assets”

Are those assets cash or cash equivalents? If not then they aren’t really backed at all.

Saw a tweet from the kraken CEO stating they didn’t have exotic things on their balance sheet, only things like bitcoin. Well a bitcoin backing is pretty much just as bad.

Do they convert customer deposits to bitcoin or not?

That's because the cost has been sent towards the government, & indirectly paid for via taxes & government bonds. Effectively, the cost is shouldered by the general public without them noticing.
> How would you surface it without having an easily discoverable item in the sidebar?

There are many ways!

- The "music player" plays your local music, the "music shop/service/itunes/spotify" can handle music stream/buying/etc, which gets incorporated into your music player. Or you'd have all your local and streaming music (IF you subscribe) mixed all together seamlessly.

- Allow to easily change the default music player in the system. They make it impossible now, you have to fiddle with 3rd party software and scripts.

- Only require agreeing with the terms if you are going to buy music, not for playing your own music. Don't analyze my local music for your algorithms, thanks.

And TBF, Apple Music is still one of the best closed source music players I've tried, but pushing for their service hard is a no-go, I don't want to feel like I'm being sold at every time I'm using a simple app.

My question is, you say, there are 2 lists for the free users.

What exactly are "lists" in your app?

____

On a different note, I always long for an app that is designed for the solo user for personal needs only.

Most people, including myself, have to use for work what their org uses for task management.

But an app designed specifically for solo users would be great. No need for collab tools or messaging, just simple one-user workflow across multiple devices with free sync.

I would pay $10/$20/$30 one-time for it. It would be so great.

I would like to track here what languages/libraries I am going to learn next, to what movie I want to watch to books that I would want to read.
Point given. But really these guys could be ponzing and stealing chicklets.
It talks about NANPA, so wouldn't it be more accurate to say "what continent" rather than "what country"? The NA stands for North American.

One thing that I've never seen anyone talk about is ulcers. I've had them since I was in grade school, in the 70s and 80s. And I've always eaten to deal with the physical pain of the hunger as represented by the ulcers.

It wasn't until high school that the doctors detected and diagnosed the ulcers, and my mom felt horribly bad because I'd always complained about my stomach pain and that I was hungry, and she asked if this is what I had always felt.

Unfortunately, the doctors didn't actually cure the ulcers. They came back. But at least now we know what causes them, and I can hopefully get proper treatment for them, once I get other things like my blood pressure and kidney stones dealt with.

But I am convinced that ulcers were at least a major contributor in my developing diabetes and obesity.

I wonder how many other people who are overweight have also had to deal with ulcers, but may not have realized what was causing that pain, or why it went away with food?

True and in this case, if the team thought it was good they can still choose to run with it. But that would be unexpected.

Because that's completely sanitizing the reasons attribution wasn't given in the first place, which were often either explicitly racially motivated, or deeply involved in the logistics of settler colonialism. Calling it what it is seems like a good idea.
I really like Nim. I was able to build some non-trivial things in it after just a few hours of googling and reading documentation (supplemented with a few questions on IRC). I do sometimes worry though about investing in a language that, due to its lack of popularity of "catching on", may never have the richness of tooling and packages/libraries needed to use it in the context of a larger project or larger team. But perhaps that concern is misplaced...maybe it's a social thing where you feel a bit out on your own when there isn't a large community coalescing around the language.
You really missed the point.

We're talking about a Hollywood production making 220 millions, not a couple of people running a show for a small town of 300 people.

You do understand that this is exploitation right?

Paying someone 250k and profiting 220 millions?

I'm not on the position to give anything to the guy because he was not asking for it.

Since the Hollywood production made a fortune on his, they could've at the very least provided him with a normal life for the time he was around.

Ok, a couple of down votes on this. I’m curious why. I was born and have lived almost all of my life in the US. I get tired of provincial web sites assuming that any random person who stumbles upon it will only be from the US, or even more insane, just from the local area.

The colder the weather the less humidity the air can old, so it's not really that much of an issue. Heat pumps definitely do lose efficiency as the air temp drops, which is why it's important to get one that has a size and minimum operating temperature that's appropriate for your use. Washington actually has an energy code that requires heat pumps be properly sized to heat the house without needing to fall back to resistance heat.
