Variable rate loans are awesome from an economic perspective. When the economy is good, your income and investment portfolio and property value should increase along with the rate increase. But if the economy goes south and the Fed drops interest rates, the interest rate drops along with it. You’re squeezed but your bills just got smaller.

2022 is basically the only time since 1985 where interest rates have gone up while the economy has gotten weaker—and that’s by design to reduce inflation. (And you’d have a hard time seeing the economy slow down just by looking at the labor market.)

Unless you can lock in a really low fixed interest rate, you should seriously consider variable rate loans for cars, houses, student loan refis, etc.
Lol. This gets rediscovered every few years. Pretty funny.

Slowest I’ve run any modern OS on an x86 chip would probably be about 60mhz pentium 1.

I used to daily drive Ubuntu (I think 5.04?) with Beryl and Compiz on a pentium 75 with 512mb of ram (awesome socket5 board) and a pci nvidia 6200. The offloaded composition etc helped a lot. Was a very snappy box all things considered. Helped that I also ran an IDE SSD on it.
Very simple: allow me to do PTT without system wide access. Give me the choice of PTT only while focused. Not that difficult. It is forced.

Hadn't heard of Iosevka, thanks for sharing.
The stunt had broad support at the time. Enough to get it to the point where there wasn't a news outlet in the world that did not cover it (and the absurdity of it). And it is precisely because it was in relation to the Iraq war being misguided that it has relevance: you either unquestioningly follow the US on every adventure or you risk being belittled by the most powerful nation on the planet, no matter what your historical ties are.
The majority of skyline shots are stock images. In 2003 it was a choice for which you showed.

Were they obviously added because they were recent things and not timeless, yes. But I don't see how ignoring recent events would have been good either. Instead, if you're trying to write how out of touch tech billionaires are to the current world, you have to show the current world.

How do you even have a character like Duke divorced from the current environment?

It changed too many things that should not have been changed.

Exactly. We should expect them to get better and more free. Otherwise we are moving in wrong direction.

The NYTimes and the rest of the media misread between the lines on this story.

Google aren't worried about competition. They are worried about losing the war with SEO.

ChatGPT showed them a glimpse of the SEO endgame. It upsets the balance between search ranking/boosting and SEO. Whatever adaptations they put into their boosting algo, GPT-style AI can eventually learn. Once learned, it can be subverted.

Fundamentally search boosting is at a disadvantage, because SEO has (blackbox) access to the boosting algo by feeding content to the crawlers and running searches. However the booster doesn't have access to the SEO algo; in fact it doesn't even know (beyond a guess) how many discrete SEO algos it is fighting, or which sites are optimized by which algos. So there is great asymmetry there.

That is why the fire alarm was pulled.
I too have enticed/befriended a group of Steller's Jays at my weekend cabin. I've always put out seeds for casual bird watching and about two years ago started giving them peanuts as well. I make sure to give a distinctive whistle for that extra Pavlovian effect. Many are quite accustomed to me, will come within 5-8 feet to snatch a tossed peanut. Over the last year, they often greet me when I drive up with some calls, or usually come when I whistle if they're not around. The two resident black Abert's squirrels also come up for the peanuts, often by my feet.

They are also several ravens in the area, often staying at tree top level, 60-70 ft. I've never been able to get their attention. even with peanuts. I'm guessing they just don't see the action at ground level, too many trees, or feel safer higher up.

Cool story.
> AAA used to simply imply good graphics

Often, yeah, but it doesn't feel like that's what people mean by it in this comment chain.

For a specific example, I would say that the recently announced Hades 2 is an AAA roguelike, even though it isn't trying to be michael-bay-tier in the graphics department at all. Disclaimer: not to be confused with artstyle and the overall visual presentation, both of which were just fantastic in the original Hades, and I expect just as much from Hades 2.
I don't know where exactly the dividing line is, but homesteading and hobby farming differentiate at some point. If you are regularly buying groceries, it's probably a hobby farm.
Sure they do force it. Allow me to do PTT while the app is focused without subjecting me to a terrible supply chain attack surface.

I don't use Discord for gaming comms. I just use it as a chat tool, and I don't need PTT outside of the app. Give me that option. It's not that hard to do.
> Anyway, yeah it might be a code smell if everyone is using them wrong

At least part of the “wrong” use is the recommended best practice has evolved over time, so following the recent recommendations would be “wrong” by the current recommendation.
I once came upon ducks that had been hit in the road. All were dead, but one. It was a similar scene: blood from its eyes, total shock, and it seemed blind. We kept it overnight and took it to an animal rescue in the morning.

They kept us updated and let us know a week or two later that it'd fully recovered and had been released. Made us very happy to hear.
I am a simple man; when I see PETSCII, I upvote.
They do prevent infection - not as effectively against the later variants but still notably - and the side effects which the right-wing media is stoking are indeed more common and more severe from an unvaccinated case of COVID than getting vaccinated:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36419861/
Of course they are. If I want PTT I have to enable it. Why? Let me do a keyboard shortcut for PTT while in-app. Let me push a UI button while app is focused. Give me alternatives. I have already been in group chats in Discord that enforce a "PTT must be enabled to talk" rule. Which I of course hate because I can't participate since I'm not willing to give keylogger access to all of npm.

I've never heard or read anything particularly interesting when it comes to the laptop. You have a link to source I could feasibly trust (NY Post falls far, far below that bar) that explains how there's evidence the Bidens did something corrupt?
Business and school closures are not lockdowns. The abuse of terminology for political purposes is at the heart of this inability to communicate (and both political machines are guilty).

If you could legally leave your home (ie you were not subject to a stay at home order with the force of law), you were not "locked down".
> Yes, I see that as one possible avenue. The possible issue with that approach is that the SSD is able to interrupt the OS at a much higher rate than an SSD, which may well increase the throughput of the system as a whole but cause latency issues substantial enough to cause drop outs.

If this is a thing, you are already in burn-it-down territory with your hardware.

I've been doing audio for a pretty long time, and I struggle to conceive of a system so marginally-fit-for-purpose-but-still-extant where drive interrupts will threaten audio timings.
I remember playing around with this like 14-16 years ago ha. It was so hard for me to create and import a box for a car chasis. Pretty cool though, there was a 4-engine Antonov on there was hard to start/fly.

> * Inflation and energy crisis will cause such a large social unrest in the west that one or two governments will be overthrown, betting on Europe, NZ or Australia

I'm curious why you think AU or NZ would have this happen. Both have robust processes for electing new governments, and despite what the news might tell you, the vast majority of people are fed and are not struggling to keep the lights on.

(I have no opinions on Europe in this matter)
At least in the city I live in, extensive outreach efforts were made to educate people. Now, you can always find people who are misinformed but I would worry more about billion dollar media empires pushing unfounded fears of vaccination than innocent misunderstanding.
"66% percent thought it was a silly idea" does not mean that 33% saw it as "reflecting reality". The 33% thought it was a sincere reflection of the patriotism of the people saying "freedom fries". The poll in question: https://news.gallup.com/poll/8032/majority-americans-view-fr...
You are misattributing multiple qualities to me, seemingly because I replied to your comment with something other than validation. It might to prudent to get some perspective before you become even more detached from reality.
If gender is separate from biological sex then what meaning does it have for someone to say they identify as a man or a woman? What is a man? What is a woman? Are they a grouping of mannerisms? If we engineered ourselves to have no sex and then we all selected our genders, how would we quantify what those genders represent without any biological context?
Except if your car is registered in one of the wrong countries, then you might spend hours getting controlled on Schengen internal borders.

Of course, if your car isn't registered in an Eastern European country you probably won't even know that this is a possibility.

Once you get to claims like these it's really difficult to prove anything anymore. At that point we may as well throw out hands up and start huffing bleach.

.... Really? Ignoring the "nothing should have that uptime due to security patches" best practice, almost everything should be able to do that barring power or hardware failure.

My OpenIndiana NAS has done >1 year uptime two or three times now.
My OpnSense firewall did once (too much road warrioring for a period) but could do it easily again.
Linux VMs have done that many times for me when I've been lazy on patching or too busy
My ESXi hosts do that too.
Thats just my basement homelab, nothing special.

I installed a cluster of Windows 2003 servers in a customer site a looong time ago that did over 1000 days uptime (no internet access/customer didn't patch/etc).

I even had a Windows XP laptop in my garage 10+ years ago that did nothing but Chrome and RDP client go over 400 days before I tripped on the power cord.

Yes, systems should be patched and all that. But really, anything not forcing updates should be able to do a year.
Weight after eating is not a good predictor for how a food will affect body composition. Examples of two extremes: you could eat a big salad that's relatively heavy (water + fiber) but that weight won't stick around more than a day. Or you could have a bunch of cookies that are relatively light weight, but easily tip your energy balance and end up increasing body fat.
I have just been bitten by this on a small business network with an inter-office VPN that needs to route through a separate router/gateway for about a month during a transition to a new ISP.

DHCP option 121 should allow devices to be pushed additional static routes. All Windows, Linux and Apple DHCP clients on the network work as expected but not Android-based devices, and I don't see an option on non-rooted devices to add the static route (not that I really want to do it manually).
News outlets covering something does not indicate that it has broad support. I'm not seeing any evidence that it had broad support, and I'm seeing evidence from the aforementioned Gallup poll that it did not have broad support. Can you back your claim up in some way?
This is fair. Piketty thinks even 10x spread is sufficient to incentivize the entrepreneurs.

I’m suggesting that villainizing the rich is silly. Even in a perfectly meritocratic system according to OP, there’s going to be massive inequality.
Being rich doesn't necessarily mean being stupid with your money; lots of rich people are infamously cheap in fact (the character of Ebeneezer Scrooge wasn't completely made-up after all). Apple phones are very high-priced in terms of features/$ compared to the highest-end Android phones, and many Android phones are in the same price territory (such as the Galaxy series).

In the US, though, there's definitely a perception that Apple is for richer people and Android is for cheapskates.
The birds around here don't stick around long enough to let me earn their trust, but I can get pretty close to the deer, rabbits, and squirrels just by pointing the camera off to my side so I'm standing perpendicular and appear to be focused on stuff on the ground instead of them.

google has some of the most inane 'security' measures. one thing it completely doesn't understand is VPNs (despite offering a vpn service itself), failing your login every time you try to enter from a different "location". (despite the device/browser matching, or whatever else there might be.) and "verification option" that is offered is a phone number code, which is offered anyway, even when there's no phone number saved on the account. how is that supposed to work and 'verify' anything (what, can someone having credentials just enter any random phone number to 'verify' and get in?), is unbeknownst to me. it also uses 'additional email address' as a 'verification method' (you could send a code there, or just enter that address), but then again, i don't see how really 'protective' that is, particularly when somebody could just enter anything there. truly, what is the point in that charade, over a regular password. the other thing is how it will not let you add 2fa without setting a phone prompt or phone number first. that is just idiotic. it will refuse to give you this way of security (while it may not be all that great, at least it's definitely something), and pester you for extra emails and numbers. the way that google will seemingly refuse to trust passwords for what they are is just wild and annoying to me.

and it seems like it has 'ramped up' its paranoia recently, cause just in the last week, I got forced to change a password on one account over 'suspicious login' (me logging in through the same browser over vpn, and this is while the account has 2fa on), and got a "critical security alert" over a log in from a new browser. "Suspicious attempt to sign in with your password". Yeah, that's just me, google.
A very eye opening realization I had after 2020 is that the vast majority of people have absolutely zero critical thinking skills, and that applies specially to snobby intellectual circles like academia or this very forum. They are the most indoctrinated people on Earth and it's like talking to a wall.

Ok, so we'll do away with the sweeping generalizations and I'll try to rephrase it in a way that it is factually correct without stepping over those boundaries, let me know if it gets a pass or not:

In France and amongst French people the prevailing sentiment is that an everlasting debt is owed to the United States and other allied forces that helped liberate France from the Germans at the conclusion of World War II. This is for instance apparent in the maintenance of war cemeteries, names of many streets and commemorative plaques and annual ceremonies. It is taught in schools from an early age and an important part of the history curriculum. No equivalent reciprocal feeling exist in the United States for the contribution that the French had to the origin story of that country. On the contrary, the French are often portrayed in negative ways when it comes to their stance with respect to engaging in military action, such as exemplified during the run-up to the Iraq war by certain elements of the United States administration and some of their followers. A number of Americans is unaware of the historical ties between France and the United States and has a negative view of France as an ally.

After reading your personal website, and about your history, I would say that you are the type of person that needs other people around them. You've had a troubled past, but you are a good guy. Good guys need other good guys around them.
The fact that you have been upfront and attoned for mistakes you've made is a good thing. I think that these people that you might see as having persecuted (2021) you have actually helped you.

Look for a town/region/community that is properly integrated with broader society and the world. Don't run off and think you have all the answers. Contribute to something that is already okay. There is no perfect - the 'clean and pure' often turn out to be hiding some really grotty things.

All the best.

Dude - if you can't spend a week with your kids then you need to up your game in your parenting skills. Seriously.

I'm sorry but parenting is a 24x7 job 365 days of the year. No one asked you to do it, you chose that yourself. But now that you've made that choice you gotta man up.

And yes, wanting to work so you don't have to be with your kids is a form of child abuse. Sorry not sorry you don't like hearing the truth.
The US mostly abandoned its involvement in Central America and all it did was provide an opening for drug cartels to take over, which has led to a huge influx of migrants. Sorry but your theory just isn't supported by the facts in evidence.

The public may be uneducated but they're still equipped with brains capable of pattern recognition.

In my country, the public saw young famous people "mysteriously" dying of heart attacks and strokes immediately after getting vaccinated, in some cases not long after tweeting some insults at skeptics. People are watching and they are going to connect dots.

I’m curious how this is implemented to work with all the different window systems without dependencies.
edit: OK I looked at the source code, it does actually include the windowing system headers and use the base libraries.

I'm glad there are people not afraid to use the latest version of programming language features. I always try to use C++20 for new projects, but often the dependencies prevent me.

If you want to use the clipboard from cmdline you can also use

wl-clipboard (for wayland)

and on macOS you can use the builtin commands: pbpaste pbcopy (see the man page)

Indeed, it is pretty dicey the way it is set up. The machine that came with the deck had the software installed, a broken firewire card, no installation media. Getting it to work was incredibly tedious and I don't doubt that it is a very fine line between success and failure but work it does, no registered drop outs across many, many hours of working with all audio channels live.

If it wasn't for the firewire requirement this would be a very easy problem to solve. I don't understand why that standard is now so blacklisted that it isn't even supported any more by more modern incarnations of windows.

Hooks allow functional components to be used for non pure components.

Which is a huge win IMO because the whole class/object paradigm in JavaScript is broken, and tracking what ‘this’ might be is literally impossible.

I think that’s sufficient reason to use hooks.

Hooks bring a completely new paradigm and I think it was brought out of Beta too early, so React now has to stick with certain concepts that appear bad ideas in hindsight (a fairly simple and relevant example would be that running useEffect on every render should not have been the default…I suspect the React team could have swapped the behaviors for empty array dependency and no dependency parameter, and it wouldn’t be any more logically weird than what we have today and the default behavior would have been far less footgun-ny).

I do think the general idea behind hooks is excellent. I think some of the existing choices, however, need a significant rethink, with the additional real world experience the React devs have with it now.
