It’s not a formal prerequisite, but its probably a practical one.

> Otherwise, at the moment of joining, the whole of NATO would instantly be at war with Russia

There’s no theoretical reason the Accession Protocol for Ukraine couldn’t specify particular territories as excluded from the coverage of Article 6 until some specified future determination.

1. You check `$LastExitCode`, similar to `$?`. You can also catch exceptions when dealing with real Powershell commands.

2. Try piping your output through `| Format-List -Property *`. This isn't very discoverable really.

3. Try selecting the properties you want: `| select Name, ID, Etc`

4. This is the fault of the module developer, not Powershell. You can also write bad software in C.
It's faster, so yes?
As others have said, fast-drying ink. In fact, if I understand correctly, there are "left handed pens" that are mechanically identical to right-handed; the difference is fast-drying ink.
Entire businesses had their products cease to function, with no warning, and no explanation from Twitter, until a couple of days later they got vaguely libeled by Twitter's developer account. (https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1615405842735714304)

They then announced the free API would go away entirely with a week's notice and pricing details "next week". (https://twitter.com/TwitterDev/status/1621026986784337922) That change got delayed several times.

Absolute clown show. If they'd said "in 90 days we're shutting down third-party clients and implementing a paid tier", people would've grumbled but seen it as fairly reasonable. Kneecapping devs who've been building Twitter apps and integrations for a decade was cruel and unnecessary.
Chrome launched with an absurd amount of money to burn, though.

I'm not sure what to say here other than this statement is demonstrably false:

"Before word processors were available, text-editing programs offered the basic editing capabilities of word processing but without WYSIWYG."

There are many, many, many of us who not only have heard of but actually once used word processors—programs or even devices that were called "word processors" as such—years before GUI, WYSIWYG word processors came on the scene.

This is the article you're referencing:

https://www.britannica.com/technology/word-processor

but the corresponding Wikipedia pages have more of the history of word processing, and an image search for "word processor" will turn up plennnnnnnty of images of things that are emphatically not WYSIWYG.
yeah these big trucks are everywhere. the ones with the big cabs. they are enormous. Longer than even the H2 Hummer or the Suburban, which the early 2000s were considered uncommonly big vehicles for the time. This possibly imposes many externalities: less parking space, more injuries against pedestrians or drivers, higher insurance costs, higher fuel prices, more traffic jams, pollution, road degradation due to increased mass, etc. The infrastructure can sustain some large vehicles; give everyone a large vehicle and the infrastructure cannot keep up.

It also shows how flush with purchasing power, specially since covid, Americans are. These trucks can easily cost more than luxury cars after including various modifications and for the largest of trucks.

Technically true. But Newman said it on the stand, under oath, an a case where DeSantis was being sued for firing a "woke" prosecutor. So I think that's as close to an official answer as we're going to get from DeSantis.

Roger Ebert: Why I Hate 3D Movies (2010)
"When you look at a 2-D movie, it's already in 3-D as far as your mind is concerned. When you see Lawrence of Arabia growing from a speck as he rides toward you across the desert, are you thinking, 'Look how slowly he grows against the horizon'? Our minds use the principle of perspective to provide the third dimension. Adding one artificially can make the illusion less convincing."

It wasn't "one" IDE.

Turbo C existed as a product. Turbo C++ was another product. They weren't the best or the pinnacle. Turbo Pascal and Borland Pascal also existed.

Borland C/C++ 3.1 was a better product, arguably the pinnacle of Borland DOS IDEs. It was the largest and heaviest retail software package of all time: 30 lbs / 13 kg roughly. It contained a library of books for C and C++, x86 assembly, assembly instruction quick reference manual, debugging, profiling, text UI programming, OWL 1.0, and the Windows API. Borland C/C++ included Turbo Profiler, Turbo Assembler, and Turbo Debugger. It was the last DOS-based TUI editor as 4.0 switched to mostly Windowsu-centric tooling. Borland C/C++ included, IIRC, a trial DOS extender to develop protected mode programs since most DOS programs were real-mode targets. If you wanted a good DOS extender like Phar Lap or Tenberry DOS/4GW, those were pricey and uncommon to average broke coder enthusiasts. Watcom C/C++ (10.6 was about the best) included a trial of DOS/4GW.

Turbo/Borland Pascal had TurboVision for TUI development.

Modern Free Pascal arguably has more available compilation targets than GCC or CLang/LLVM has or ever will.

That's a good approach if the worker is connected to the database.

If an external process is responsible for marking a job as done, you could add a timestamp column that will act as a timeout. The column will be updated before the job is given to the worker.

Ex225lean mod review: Even medium protein intake not that great
That is definitely not true. There's no particular reason to think being a single parent is, ceteris paribus, harmful.

But having a parent in prison growing up? That's extremely hard on kids.

And more than that, part of having kids is an obligation to protect and care for them. An obligation she knew that there was good odds she would not be in a position to fulfill. That's horrific to me.
This has been discussed here many times. The hoax (in the same sense that the radio drama War of the Worlds was a hoax) is a similar story to The Last of Us, where fungus infects the minds of people and changes their behavior.

If money could solve this problem, China would lead AI, not OpenAI.
Let's not forget that during the Reagan era there was a big push to de-institutionalize the mentally ill, and that push came from mental health care providers who recognized that the hospitals for the mentally ill were terrible places. They pressed to move people in the smaller homes in communities where they could get support and care and still be near their families.

President Reagan and his administration, of course, were fully behind closing the publicly-funded mental health institutions, but were also not about to spend money on anything to give the necessary care. As a result, untold numbers of people were turned out of hospitals and left to fend for themselves. There was no safety net, no place to go. Reagan demonized the homeless and came up with the myth of the welfare mom driving a Cadillac.

And here we are today. Millions needing care but nowhere to go, living on the streets and unable to get stable enough to make a living or even afford their medications.

The system is dysfunctional, yes. It was designed to be that way.

It doesn't work exactly the same as a subscription, but you can add a playlist from a channel to your library, if the channel offers one that fits what you want.

For example the channel Accursed Farms puts out a Half-Life based show called Freeman's Mind which I love, but I'm not huge on the rest of their content, so I follow their playlist and can easily get just the content I want.

True, true. But imagine those tides in a slightly larger bay: 52km wide at the entrance (compared with ~14km for Severn), mostly linear (48km near its neck, compared with ~2km) and over 155km long.

The amount of water that comes in an out twice a day is, well, nuts. Yes, that's the technical term.

(Summer ferry crossings between Digby Neck and Saint John are 2.5 hours, 3.0 hours in the winter (slower due to rougher water), but I do know people who took ~12 one February: the water was so rough they hugged as close to the shores of NB and NS as they dared, just to make things a little calmer. There have also been cases of transport trailers falling over in the hold. Yes, they were lashed down.)

(I once spent a terrible several hours sprawled on a lounge chair staring out the window on the opposite side of the boat: For seven seconds I could see nothing but sea, the ship swung, and for seven more, nothing but sky. Repeat. Ad nauseam. The swings took about a second. When I finally did get up to head to the heads to unload that nausea, let's just say planning was involved in every step.)

(Another trip, I also spent an uncomfortable few minutes on the observation deck bow-ward of that lounge, because young and dumb: It was fall, I was heading back to Uni, it was cold (duh), I was wearing a hoodie and shorts, and I'd stepped out for fresh air. Got talking to American tourists in long slacks and sweaters. Felt expansive and loquacious, kept them out there as long as I could. They finally excused themselves on account of the cold, very polite, and I turned to and leaned upon the bow rail until I felt enough time had gone by that I could return to the lounge. Man, it was cold. Ah, youth. :->)
While Firefox displays it badly, Dillo displays it quite nicely, as does my home-rolled web browser. It used to be that, if you wanted something better than black-on-white left-aligned sans-serif, you'd configure your browser to your own tastes; I wonder why it doesn't work that way any more?
I speak a language that is highly colloquialized, and in its casual written format includes a rather inscrutable system of abbreviation (one of the features of this system is to basically omit nearly all vowels). I had always figured that this language would be impossible for machines to translate, but I just tested it and both google translate and ChatGPT can accurately identify the language and translate the slang into English (Google didn’t pick up some of the subtleties between similar dialects, but still provided a correct translation). So I’m somewhat optimistic that they could be potentially managing these problems quite well.

Very nice of you to get it for your partner, I hope she's enjoying it!

It’s significantly faster, and not just a little bit, at least twice as fast. When you have long hair, that matters both for time and for precision when trying to achieve a certain style. It also matters because you don’t want to spend a ton of time with super high heat on your hair because that causes damage. The Dyson dries fast and is hot, but is not as hot as some dryers, which is good for preventing heat damage. I have long hair and being able to cut my blow dry time in half is a huge boon to just my daily routine. The Airwrap, which is a separate product (but has a dryer attachment that acts like a mini version of the regular dryer), dries and curls your hair, which genuinely is a huge achievement because I don’t have to use a separate curling iron. I just start to curl while my hair is still damp and it’ll set and dry my hair appropriately. It won’t replace a curling iron or rollers in all scenarios, but it’s incredibly nice.

Beyond speed, you’re also getting a very even output of air at whatever temperature you’re choosing. This also helps with making things smooth, getting rid of flyaways, getting more volume. There is a flyaways attachment that uses the Coanda effect to keep hair looking smooth that mimics the effect you get if you pay for a blowout at Dry Bar or something. It’s also well designed and hugh quality (attachments attach with magnets and it’s light enough to use in your hand but doesn’t feel like it’s made of junk).

I bought the Airwrap first but got the regular dryer when there was a sale and I had a Dyson owners 20% off coupon. I’ve found myself using the dryer almost every day, whereas I use the Airwrap a few times a week.

Like, yeah, I’m not arguing that everyone needs to invest in a $430 hair dryer (what it costs now, the Airwrap is like $600 if you get it with all the attachments) but just like there is a difference in a $500 laptop and a $4000 laptop, it’s just a higher end/more premium tool. Like, it’s similar to a KitchenAid standing mixer. If you just buy a normal $50 mixer or whatever, you’ll be able to beat your egg whites and mix your stuff just fine. But once you use the KitchenAid, you suddenly realize that there is a better way to do it that is more powerful and efficient. If it’s worth the money comes down to the individual and your budget.

Incredible. What an under appreciated game. I’ve played a little bit of it and the world is absolutely enormous.
I meant native as in compiled to fast/minimal native machine code, the other games are all Unity/Unreal potato VM games, all 263/266 of them... with GC = sickness. The Climbs are Cryengine which might not have GC but still is bloated to hell.

Should have said "custom", but then that could also be misunderstood.

In my experience (I made the first VR MMO: http://aeonalpha.com, with the wrong programming language!) high refresh rates in sensor reading (faked by Oculus/Valve) combined with locomotion that the brain does not immediately associate with human motion are the best solutions after hardware.

But I will make my 3D action voxel MMO 3rd person just to make sure, if your head is the camera you wont get sick as easily, specially at 120Hz.

120 FPS at low persistence is the bare minimum if you want to not get ill from any smooth movement during long sessions = Echo VR is the ONLY game that is playable on Quest 2.

Non-smooth movement games are more of a slideshow/shooting gallery; (see HL:A :S) akin to the early fixed space 3D games on cd-rom if you remember those, which funnily HL was the first (after quake that I never played) to break:

I fondly remember me and my brothers jaws dropping simultaneously when we by mistake moved the mouse during the intro, we both 100% thought it was pre-rendered.

The difference is now we have permanently peaked in hardware, so we need to solve things with software.

I haven't tried "Tea for God" yet, kinda dreading the adb install since computers can get bricked when you do real work on them these days.

Baffling that in 6 years, 1 billion humans (that could have bought a headset and built something) only managed to create 3 custom engines for VR: Source 2, Lone Echo and "Tea for God".

Odds are not looking good.
I actually think the "living rent free in heads" peaked awhile ago. At this point it's just clear in a more pedestrian way that things aren't going well over there.
Great! I look forward to it.

The key for me is that it's a widget on the watch face. Glance at watch and with one click and I'm recording. If I have to fumble around with my phone or whatever to find and open an app, click a button, etc, I'll likely have forgotten whatever brilliant idea popped into my head before I get the recording started.
I'll stand corrected.

But I'll still call you a fool if you ignore the recommendations even if you are allowed to.
Anything other than operations per second raises my suspicions--a minute is a huge duration for most computing, the speaker is just angling to multiply the measure by 60 for whatever reason.

It wanted to import all my info.. no thanks
there was other nastyness I don’t remember.

Then it showed me so much junk and crappy news on new page, it was pure propaganda.

That was the end of it. I know it’s possible to configure all those things, but the starting experience was soo bad I got away quickly.
I like how they summarise the content history, I wonder if you could get the Large language model (LLM) like ChatGPT-4 to do the summarisation once the token window was full?

I was thinking about how you could do something like this. Prime the LLM with description of the character and feed the dialogue back into it to generate realistic NPC dialogue. Have some logic behind it to update the chat log with events, perhaps quest prompts. Doable with the current price of$0.03/1k prompt tokens. Not sure you could do this on a triple A game with the dependency on an outside provider that might jack the prices and possible impossible to predict behaivour. But it might be fun in a small indi game?

I wasn't anticipating the interaction between the NPCs. That would make it even more immersive. I am also curious how they got the output in chat-gpt to influence the NPCs movements and actions?
