>ave to be in a completely distorted reality field to choose Apple in these circumstances

I'm not sure a NUC is a good replacement for a laptop. That said, there are some really nice Intel and AMD based machines out there.
No, Applets were just clunky and slow-loading--that's why they weren't popular. Any website loading one would freeze up the whole machine. But there were definitely Java Applet games, and I happen to remember the last one I ever played: Minecraft.

Flash loaded quickly and seamlessly, but otherwise had all the same problems.
I have the latest Gen 13 I5. It was an impulse buy as was on offer at a good price.

I installed a 1TB Solodigm P44 NVME drive, 32GB memory.

OS wise I installed Proxmox. Install was a pain but that’s because I wanted LUKS encryption. I had to install Debian first, setup LUKS, then setup Dropbear ssh so I can ssh in to it at boot for the password. Once that was out the way I followed Proxmox’s instructions on migrating Debian to Proxmox which is a case of adding the Proxmox apt repos and installing. A vanilla Proxmox install is minutes, but then it’s unencrypted data which is a pain when selling drives.

I have a small vm with WireGuard + rarr suite of apps, then a bunch of lxc containers, jellyfin etc. It’s mostly idling away and silent but the fan kicks in pretty quickly if doing anything moderate cpu wise. The fan is loud when it starts.

I am happy with the purchase as it uses little power and it’s mostly silent for me. If it wasn’t an impulse buy based on the price a better option might of been the Aliexpress fanless N300 boxes at the low cpu end, or a one litre mini pc such as a eBay used HP Elite Mini G9 as they have better cooling so quieter.

You can add 10gb to the hp, dual NVMe, and 2.5 sata drive. A mini powerhouse https://www.servethehome.com/perfect-project-tinyminimicro-p...
I think, we understand each other very good, and this is good sign any way.

I just want to say, this is real and big war, even something bigger, and as war, it is very different style of life.

And we have here very special moment of history, which, I believe, will not repeat in observable time.

To be strict, Ukraine now looks like Poland ~100 years ago, when they decide to totally change their political vector from Russia satellite to independent European country, and had to prove their decision made sincerely and they are brave enough to change their life.

We are not middle east, we are very old European nation (Cossacks country here happen in 1700s), but we like when people compare us with Israel, who built ultra modern civilization-garden in desert.

War is just consequence of so big decision and huge changes.

We have different people here, some very ordinary, some opportunists, some founders of new part of world.

And I believe, we now on lowest stage of economics, because of war, and this will change next year.

War could last approx to October, then planned elections in US. I think, Biden will end war, because to win elections any American president must look peacemaker.

Even possible draw position, like in Korea (yes, occupied territories could become separate near forever).

And as last word in this text, I prefer peaceful life style, so I worked many years, to got Europe here in evolutionary way. Unfortunately I was not fast enough to make protection from powers, who trying to solve their questions with their usual way of war.

Is the implication that with FiraCode, the eye will finally spend zero energy on scanning, parsing and joining glyphs? Finally, after all these years, a perpetual motion machine! :-)
Not to defend the conservatives in any way, but nuance is a scarce good when discussing about politics with most people, no matter their political orientation.
> The move has dramatically increased participation among traditionally marginalized children

This program may or may not be a fantastic idea, but "participation" is about the worst possible metric for measuring the overall impact of a mandatory program.

Are these children having better overall life and educational outcomes from this? Are they taking time and energy away from classes they want to pursue to struggle in math courses they might not be truly passionate about?

And what about its impact on the non-marginalized kids? Because "everybody" is now participating, are honors courses now slowed and dumbed down so actual high-achievers will be less prepared for their future?
Well if you are not looking for Matrix (although it perfectly fits your description), XMPP is probably the closest.
Nah, it doesn't negate anything. The flagship instance is a fine default but it's important to be able to move at any time for any reason and even to run one's own. This is itself a quality feedback mechanism and freedom.
I did not say that they deny making changes. I said that they denied changes in capabilities; implied, in this context, is changes for the worse, since changes for the better should not affect people's experiences negatively.
Meta specifically aimed threads away from being a news app too, so that itch may never get scratched if it had anything to do with news/politics.
Really neat to see federation move into a vertical like books. It seems really well suited to books (and music) since you could have instances that focus on particular genres or time periods. I also like the suggestion in their repo that book clubs run their own instances. Very cool.
A Brief Introduction to Serious Games
Rather than assume malicious intent, I think there's a very reasonable explanation for this policy: it avoids the Peter Principle. If someone is content to stay at their current level, that's fine, they can stay there. But if they want a promotion, they need to show that they have the skills that are expected at that level.

The company has to decide if they want some people to permanently hold positions beyond their capabilities (Peter Principle), some people to temporarily hold positions below their capabilities (while working towards a promotion), or if they want to regularly demote people who aren't able to do their job.

Demotions absolutely kill morale, as does having a bunch of unqualified people in high-level positions. The least bad option is to require people to do the work of the position they want to hold.
It's not being deployed more widely because peering is always broken and nobody cares to fix it because nobody is using it. It's a horrible catch-22.
It wasn't Gmail that started XHR though. Gmail wasn't even first online email service to use XHR. The first app to use XHR, which is also the first email service to use XHR was Outlook Web Access.

It's funny that Microsoft were the who were innovating with better features and a more coherent vision during the late browser wars, but they failed to capitalize on this innovation once they won the war and they could now just release IE6 with a shiny Media Bar and then fail to update it for 5 years. Nothing would ever go wrong, and no competitor could threat Microsoft, since all these toolbars everybody seem to adore are only compatible with Internet Explorer anyway. Yeah...
k9s really speeds up outages resolution, especially with larger infra.
I'm sure there's a bit of that but I think for most companies it's a way to get the foot in the door at another company.

If you think company B could use your services then company A can ask their board member who just happens to also be on company B to push for it.
I love this app, use it every day. Very seldom do I need to drop out of it to run a specific command (and even then it’s probably capable of doing it and I’ve just not bothered to figure out how).

Obesity rate is 4X what it was back then. So 2X for population, 4X for obesity, and then however you want to calculate the additional increase for an aging population. 10X ain't that crazy.
Property rights are bad.

Not in an absolute sense: property rights are obviously very important to how society functions. But "the US needs stronger property rights" is in general a harmful position. US limitations on property rights are largely to tax the ultra-rich and to limit exploitation and concentration of wealth. For example, tenants' rights are pretty much directly opposed to the landlord's property rights, and tenants' rights do not (IMHO) need weakening in most places in the US, but instead need strengthening.

The same holds to some extent for the other values, but maybe only in context. (Personal freedom to do what? Not to get an abortion...)

Also, we're talking about a website with a front-page article arguing that reparations for slavery + Jim Crow + other racist discrimination are bad, because slavery is "like winning the lottery" for modern American black people. After all, without the system that kidnapped and enslaved their ancestors and then discriminated against their grandparents and parents and still discriminates against them today -- such that they have less income, less savings, worse life expectancy, triple maternal mortality etc -- they probably would have been born in Africa!

You don't need to be defending these guys.
My ISP offers a plan without IPv4 at a lower price. v4 websites only are served through their NAT64/DNS64 infrastructure and it works really well except for some dumb applications that hardcode the IPv4 instead of using domain names (yeah, and also the ones that rewrite the entire stack in C and only support AF_INET...)

One benefit to federation in book-focused social media is it helps stop Amazon from buying the centralized services. They bought Goodreads and Shelfari. It's great to know they won't be buying the book-iverse.

Is this satire? With the username, I’m unsure. I don’t know why anyone would mention GPUs and AI in the same context as electric vehicles.

Mining isn’t a huge source of greenhouse emissions. It’s not good for the local environment, but it’s necessary. Recycling and reuse is also a grand idea, you’re right about that. Except for plastics, which never made sense.

Electric cars are unequivocally a good thing. Every electric car takes a fossil fuel guzzling car off the road. Once a family has an electric car they tend to use it whenever possible, making the effect even more pronounced. Some people float the ridiculous argument that they emit more greenhouse gases in manufacturing and mining than they save over their lifetime. Firstly, gasoline cars also cost energy to manufacture and gasoline also takes energy to extract and refine and transport. Secondly, electric cars break even within the first few years of use. Even in todays world where the electric grid still has a lot of fossil fuel generation.

Why Adaptive Rate Limiting Is a Game-Changer
I have some sympathy here, mostly because Outlook's calendering is horrible. I also think most people don't exclusively use Outlook for their calendar, even in environments where your calendar there is meant to reflect your availability for meetings.

I've never understood why neither Google or MS have the ability to give their calendar tool an ical feed and have the availability from that reflected in your corporate calendar.

I guess it made sense in the days of everyone being in offices on a fixed schedule, but in the modern world where people's work life and personal life increasingly intersect I'd love to be able to drop things like needing to pick my son up from school in the calendar and have that shared with my partner without also needing to duplicate that same entry in my work calendar so no one books a meeting with me.
So what you are saying is that it was known how many people will be killed by covid-19 before any measures have been put in to affect and that those measures had no influence on the number of those who died? If not, what is the point of your post?

No, it pretty much always refers to the case fatality rate.
This is one of those games that I would have chewed on all summer back when I didn’t have responsibilities to tend to.

To those who might consider themselves “well-rounded” with careers and families and sports etc. Does that magic and sense of free time to dig deep into something ever come back?
> First we would need to conclude that there is such a group of people.

Do we need to agree that first? One of two things are true, at least in broad outline:

1. Intelligence is genetic, so there are people who are more of less intelligent due to the luck of the genetic lottery.

2. Intelligence is due to employing the right learning methods, and some people are less intelligent due to not having been educated correctly.

Either way, there are some people who have bad luck when it comes to intelligence. And even if perfect education could in theory equalise these intelligence outcomes, making society more "inclusive" for the less intelligent might be the best thing to do until we manage to perfect our systems of education (if we ever do).
And the wars haven't started yet. Soon though.

I'm pretty sure the eye spends exactly zero Joules on interpretation of visual stimuli.

As for the brain, the brain doesn't see characters at the perceptual level, that it then needs to join at the cognitive level into tokens. At the perceptual level it just sees shapes. Whether it takes more energy to parse != or ≠ is something I don't anyone has ever researched.

There is also an opera about Oppenheimer called Doctor Atomic by John Adams that came out that year. (I have seen it mentioned surprisingly little.)

Holy carp, that's handy! The only downside to moving to a new social media platform is curating a new set of people to follow and unfollow, which is more overhead than I'm willing to endure. But starting with a list like this means just having to unfollow people who take a "build a brand" approach via quantity rather than quality. So, thank you.

Ok, hard truth time:

My step mom is in her 60s, a prolific reader, member of two book clubs and most of her friends are readers. She would never think about joining Bookwyrm because the value prop makes no sense to her. Why does anyone care about federated? (I’m talking normal people here.) Mastodon, Pleroma? What are those? Who cares? Why? (Again, talking as normal people here, the kind of people you’d talk to waiting in line for a Southwest Airlines flight to Orlando.)

“Federated, anti-corporate” — the creator of this site might think that’s important, but most people don’t care.

What does “anti-corporate” even mean? That is going to turn a lot of users off because it feels political. It’s also unnecessary as a sales tool because what would “pro-corporate” mean in the context of a book social network? A lot of the books people want to read are published by corporations. Most of the self published stuff goes through Amazon. So “anti-corporate” is what? An aspiration? Or just a tagline? Unless this is a social network for samizdat (which would actually be pretty awesome..)

Let me put this another way:
A book readers’ social network is an awesome idea. Goodreads proved it could work. But I don’t understand the market problem this one is solving.

If it were me, I would probably create a network out of a specific book genre or niche, then develop from there. But “Goodreads for Anarchists” doesn’t really light any fires for me.

Still, good luck to the creators. Great to see people trying to build things!
The only difference is, that you're not "protected" by nat, so packets going back to you, can go back to you (but this is solved by a simple firewall installed by default on pretty much any ipv6 enabled CPE).

With ipv6 privacy extensions, your IP address changes every few minutes (withoin the same /64 network) so it's not a lot different (privacy wise) than today, wher that whole network would be hidden behind a single IPv4 address.
No, people at Microsoft just didn't realize most users forgot how to work with multiple windows. You can have a separate calendar window if you care for it, you can even read individual e-mails in separate windows (that one is annoyingly bound to double-click...). That works on the web too - at least for people realizing you can have the same app open in two tabs, and then break them out into separate browser windows...

Beyond that, maybe I'm thoroughly infused with corporate culture at this point, but I find this perfectly obvious and natural bundling. E-mail, calendars and TODO lists belong together.
Ordinary glyphs and ligatures (if any) are generally thought to be designed together. Turning ligatures off is not a proper solution but a workaround---you would be using something different from what was originally designed [1]. And sufficiently many people think most uses of ligatures in programming fonts are indeed bad, therefore those fonts are also bad, thus endless complaints.

[1] And if ligatures are designed independently from ordinary glyphs, there is no reason to make them default.

With Bitwarden supporting passkeys soon[0] is there any announcement from Proton that they would as well? Seems odd to release a password manager at this time and not mention at least eventually supporting WebAuth/FIDO2/passwordless. 1Password, Google, Apple, and likely Microsoft are all going to be having some level of passkey management. For middle of 2023, it seems like at least a good feature to mention is going to be available even if the release is months out.

If only we knew how to build things so you didn't need a 2000kg metal box to go buy a packet of crisps.
If you are paying for Pass Plus or Proton Unlimited then you have integrated 2FA/TOTP which Bitwarden also makes you pay for, same with Yubikey/FIDO2/etc 2-step login, which I think is possible for signing into proton pass.
And no desktop app for proton pass, maybe some day though?
More likely, the original source code is lost.
So they're not worse than ASUS then.

I've had several motherboards from them, and they stopped receiving BIOS updates a year or two after release. Never got anything since meltdown & spectre have become known, for example (I think BIOS updates are needed for microcode updates on Windows, so this would be a serious problem for most users).

I've also used two ASUS smartphones, and… never again. The last one received one major update (from Android 5 to 6), and stopped receiving security updates a year after the phone was announced. Fuck that company.

I don't believe it's got anything to do with talent. The wiser programmers I know don't get emotional about 'training wheels' but try to prevent errors by systematically and automatically fixing weak spots.

This thread is talking about HTPC, and I'm wondering what the use case is where you need lots of RAM and the speed/latency of an internal NVMe drive.

My HTPC is about 12 years old, and I'm pretty sure that the internal SATA SSDs are slower than a modern external USB3.1 drive. Yet it does everything I ask of it with no noticeable delay.
That’s pure conspiracy thinking. Their service has been more or less blocked countrywide in Russia multiple times in the past, without too much success. Pavlov Durov has been publicly anti Putin since 2014 and exiled himself following euromaiden. Telegram has never been a Russian company, it was Berlin based, and is now in Dubai.

All of this has been public information since years, there isn’t any proof of anything malevolent happening with the service.
