Ideally, my car would look like a BT speaker, possibly with a microphone and some controls, to the phone. I don't want a dedicated satnav, I don't want an elaborate in-car entertainment system. The reason is twofold. The first is that all of these in-car systems are pretty dated even after a couple of years. The second is that they tend to be fairly low quality to begin with.

The system in my car that integrates with the phone is a piece of junk. Not only is the microphone system completely useless and the connection procedure so badly implemented it'll fail regularly, but I've recently learned that the system in my car tends to break after a few years. Which has happened in my car. Which makes one of the car's ECUs confused so my dashboard now has a flashing indicator that isn't going to go away until I've spent a pile of cash to either replace the system or rip it out in a manner that isn't documented or supported.

The only thing I want in a car is the simplest for of integration possible, preferably using components I can rip out and replace with something better and a system for mounting my phone without having to buy all manner of silly dodads.

Why do you think this post is "negative"? "Negative" towards what?

> 87% of statistics are made up.

Yes, of course, I didn't mean "lower integer part of nine tenths of the total number of problems". Did that really need to be specified?

>> Of the 1% that can't be solved either way, 90% are solved with other statistical techniques (timeseries modeling, decision trees and so on).

Is it really controversial that you should go for the simplest model that works?
Maybe on a theoretical level, but of course you will agree that what we mean by deep learning today has only become possible with the availability of sufficient computational power (and Hinton's work around the mid-2000's).
As a side-note, the snap vs flatpak war is essentially canonical vs everyone else. It's easy enough to install flatpak on ubuntu distros, it's harder to install snap on some other distros where flatpak works wonders.

If you're worried, you can also just, do both. A packaging overhead of 2 is still better than maintaining your own distro- and version-specific packages, unless you submit it to the distros yourself or get others to package it for you.
Just reduce the amount of time between pitches and batters and I’d be happy. The amount of time a three strike out inning can take is absurd.

Assuming temps over -20°C and a car newer than 30 years, I think you’re fine to drive away as soon as the engine is stable after starting. That’s probably well under 5 seconds and, unless you’re trying to do an old LeMans race start, isn’t something that I’d consciously wait for.
I agree. The business goal is to sell ads, tickets, hotdogs, and beer. I think they’re executing on profitability but in a cautious way. Too much sudden change can definitely kill a sport, like it can any product.
In fact sometimes it's required to do that for modded installs, because Steam can't be convinced to launch anything without force updating first anymore and breaks everything if you're not eternally vigilant. sigh

I've resigned myself to mostly just buying anything I want to mod from GoG unless it has full Workshop integration.

Not the person you asked, but I have had experience with both depression and burnout.

Depression, in my case, makes things meaningless in a "calmer" way - I can think about any activity, but it just feels meaningless, as if somebody was asking me to dig a hole then bury it back up. Like, why? What is the point?

Burnout, on the other hand, had an avoidant element to it - when thinking about work, I start feeling helpless and frustrated, which makes my mind go into some primordial "fear" state, rendering me unable to think clearly at all. If I were working while burned out, my "mental context" would be extremely limited - I'd read the words, but couldn't comprehend anything beyond basic instructions (e.g. change config from "foo" to "bar"). The mind is just avoiding making any connections relevant to the work.

This is just my experience. Others' milage may vary.

every now and then I like to point out that not every country has the same understanding as to the purposes of copyright as the U.S, in fact this whole promotion thing seems to be a specifically American argument (although obviously not familiar with every country in the world so many some other countries also have this conception and I'm not familiar with it - maybe some countries that based their national laws on the U.S for example)

on edit: I just realized that of course British copyright law is also very similar to the American model.

This is a very difficult thing to do since the state has been actively in the process of controlling the media for more than 100 years in the United States. The entire point of the FCC was not to enforce the first amendment rights to freedom of speech and ensure that with modern communication technologies those rights could be preserved. Instead that organization was built with the mindset of destroying the first amendment protection on freedom of speech and instead flipping it around to grant people the freedom to listen. Well NPR the PBS get cranky over the tag Elon musk wants to put on their Twitter the reality is anyone who is granted a license by the FCC to broadcast is some sort of state-backed media.

While defenders made point out that limited broadcast bandwidth necessitated something like the FCC to ensure that this limited space was protected I don't buy that that's a sufficient argument to destroy and gut the first amendment. Even if I was to accept that that one limited resource could be preserved in part for large media companies why did the FCC so regulate the citizens band or the band's reserved for shortwave radio and the people's use. The really sad thing is those individuals using those frequencies that are reserved for the people are often the staunchest defenders of the onerous regulations around using them directly in violation of the core principles of the first amendment.

This is exactly what people warn about when they say the slippery slope. 100 plus years ago when radio was first a thing and we needed to decide how to regulate the airwaves and the bandwidth available no one could envision the idea of effectively unlimited communications bandwidth. So they trotted down the path of ignorance and this is what we're left with a legacy that says the state can absolutely choose the media.

The good old fashioned Job Resources / Job Demands 2x2 strikes again.

- Low resources * low demands = low motivation + average stress. You don't really give a shit about the job, but it's also not taking a lot out of you either.

- High resources * low demands = high motivation + low stress. The dream!

- High resources * high demands = high motivation + average stress. You've got a lot on your plate - but you also feel well equipped to take it all on. This is a really nice place to be, especially if you're hungry for professional growth.

- Low resources * high demands = Hell. People expect you do build everything from nothing, and nobody's giving you any help at all, and you're bottlenecked by weird insane corporate BS, and on and on and on.

Being at low resources, high demands for too long will lead to burnout. Full stop. If you're there, try to get out. If you're not there, try to stay out.

I think he means that you can't have the thing you get when you buy from steam be an offline installer (though actually I think some older games are just this, or you can copy the installed files around afterwards; think running Morrowind with OpenMW).

> The usual dress for players is known from iconographic and figural findings. These show leather protection mainly at the hips and the chest, but sometimes also at the knees and the arms, though very seldom at the feet. The clothing was used to protect against the impact of the ball. The protected parts of the body were used to strike the ball. Some players would wear head dresses (like deer heads) for ritual reasons.

I dont quite understand, maybe someone can enlighten me: Nobody is forcing people to use TikTok, right? Peer pressure is a thing, but there are other ways for parents to enforce that their child doesnt use TikTok (e.g. like my little sister who just can't install anything on her iphone, and instead has hobbies).

If youre concerned about china's government collecting data, pass a bill similar to GDPR at the very least - but of course that would suck for the domestic (USA) intelligence services, so thats a no-go.

Its some "its only funny when I do it!" kind of shit.
Ok but that's a very different problem to what you said about not being able to launch a game without launching steam.

That's not Steam's fault.

I'm Leaving Twitter for a Bit
Film scores have it easy, but for games instead of just looping a tune there are dynamic scores in video games music that change moment by moment in response to the actions of the player or the current situation in the game. Even SMB did this in a way by speeding up the music as time ran out, but newer games give you multiple versions of the same themes and melodies, but in short segments with entry and exit points that can be transitioned into and out of seamlessly while still sounding natural. Games have been getting better and better at this and when it works well, it blows me away!

Sun did this because they had a lot of issue building faster cores. The were very late on out of order processing and generally their CPU were never all that good.

The trouble you have is that you really wanted reals and the rationals are not a much better substitute than the floats (which are mostly just one particularly specialised flavour of rational)

It doesn't feel immediately like there ought to be a problem, but witness, mathematically almost all of the reals are Normal and unfortunately Normal doesn't mean "normal" it's a technical mathematical word, that for our purposes means roughly "completely batshit".

Normal numbers are non-computable, so we definitely don't want to try to use them in software, which is a problem because again, almost all of the reals are Normal.
> High resources * low demands = high motivation + low stress. The dream!

I disagree with that. High resources * high demands is the dream for many people including myself.
Low demands -> low motivation, at least for most people. Having a stress free job with low motivation for a long time can even lead to burnout!

Well, there are other methods in use. See ByT5, for example.
The user that posted the review had their account returned to normal [0] around the time this was posted.

They were told by Steam support that their "account was locked for promoting or posting malicious content" but the message didn't explicitly mention the review. Their review is still "banned" though. Steam support adds "We've gone ahead and removed the lock. In the future, please make sure you are not spamming or advertising" which makes it sound like it wasn't just the review they had a problem with. But trying to read into support agent messages is like reading tea leaves...

Agreed, and more generally, I would love to know what life was like for these people. We have an advanced civilization that was almost totally wiped out. Millions of people living their lives independently of western civilization.

I’ve toyed with the idea of plotting the era and location of popular TV and movie narratives. I think you’d find that most of them are very narrowly focused on a handful of places and times. This may not be a recipe for successful TV, but I would love to watch a TV show about the Maya or the Olmec or the Inca (or really any of the pre-Colombian indigenous people of the Americas). Like all people, I’m sure that these people had dramatic lives, but it would be all the more interesting because it would be a totally different culture. When you think about what modern civilization has inherited from these people—-agriculture especially—-it’s a shame that we don’t know more about them.

> buy games from GOG

I wish I could agree, but nope, noooo.

My GOG account suddenly broke (500 server response upon login) back in 2016 after adding The Witcher 3 to it, and despite repeated attempts over the years to demand that they fix it and restore my games, it remains broken. All I've got are empty promises to look at it, but no results.

Yeah, but humans do lots of stuff just for fun too.

It was a serious question. I see this "probably ritual" a lot when reading about old things. I get the feeling that this comes from some older Hobbsian "brutish and short" view of how people lived. Like "since they where not as advanced and smart as us the must have been half starved all the time and coudn't possibly have a ball game just for the hell of it"
> Enragement = engagement.

That's a nice turn of phrase, is it a cliché I've not seen before or a new coining?

Somewhat, but it more feels like "wait for good flag, try to activate good flag events. Wait for enemy to have bad flag, try to activate bad flag events." Other's find it has lasting fun despite that, but I found I lost interest.
Tough to decide which one to pick.

This is what makes me very sad, for those trying to recover their culture.

For example, there are many Native Canadians trying to recover their culture and language, their history. And I wish them all success!

But at the same time, I often see such discussions talking as if that culture was static. Unchangeable. "This is how we did it", from elders, which barely remember anything other than the fading memories of ther great grandparents.

Instead, I hope that such culture can be brought back, but with an understanding of "what if such culture was not wiped out, but instead, stayed alive and existed through change to modern times".

An example would be food, and dance, and music, and stories. All of these would transition to modern mediums, and tools, and yet, still stem from the past, while simultaneously being influenced by the widening world, and expanded trade, and so on.

I think the greatest loss is not the way things were, past culture, because everyone loses that, humans always change, regardless of technology.

Instead, the greatest loss is what could have been today.

And I would love to see what could have been.

Lunni is a dashboard for Docker Swarm. It helps you if you already use docker-compose to develop an app locally, and just want to deploy it with as little effort as possible. It also has a bunch of apps available for one-click install in the built-in Marketplace, like Vaultwarden, Chatwoot, or PocketBase.

100% isn't over-charging. It's just not the GP's preferred spot on the battery energy (hours of charge) vs battery lifetime (days/years) curve for daily use.

But the original argument was that it could only have been made by a human, either the human who made it themselves or the human who prompted the AI.
Linux evolves really fast and in an unplanned chaotic way. So it partly applies to linux for sure but there are also forces in other directions.

Also, linux isn't an OS, its a kernel. The OS is built out of bits and pieces of open source software flying around.

With Solaris you get a kernel and a user-land portion of the OS in one package designed together and for each other.
