So just agree on 5.5x2.5 and federally ban 5.5x2.1. The biggest source of finickiness is 5.5x2.5 plugged into a 5.5x2.1 socket.

Inventing a new standard with a weak sheet metal connector and 19 pins to deliver + and - isn't a solution to the above.
Entirely true. Unfortunately, that comes at a cost of programming time and effort and a decent amount of risk.
>From where I'm sitting this looks like an excellent argument for breaking backwards compatibility.

It's precisely because of that backwards compatibility, insane in both the workings and the result, that keeps most people using Windows.

People use computers to get stuff done, and Windows lets people use the absolutely massive library of Windows programs whether it was written today or over 30 years ago.

selling unids 400

How much did unids sell for?

I've thought about a t-shirt that says "selling unids" just to see how many people get it

Unids are Unidentified Herbs, an item since removed from RS. Processing Unids was a relatively fast and very repeatable way to get Herblore experience.
Theory: gaming has turned from plaything to a sport. Most people don't play online games purely for the sake of fun or "killing" spare time, but with a desire to become better, to become more like the youtubers and e-sport players they follow.

I recently went back to CSGO after 5 years break. I'm terrible at it and I'm "stuck" in Silver II rank (second lowest out of 18), but I'm having the best time I ever had with this game. Just keep laughing when your teammates scream at each other in various Central & Eastern European languages and you will be fine.
That probably explains why mechanical keyboards got popular - computers are cooler with ka-chunk-a-chunk.
The Moderna shareholders can always dump their Moderna stock and invest in other companies if they want.
If the FBI actually operated in the open and stopped keeping secrets, the mystery would be removed and they would no longer have any power. Once the mystique is broken, the mundane reality of the FBIs daily ineffectiveness would be revealed. Power requires secrets. What you are suggesting would destroy the FBI.
Being from the UK, I feel its a generalisation to say the west is an ask culture. I really feel like there's more of a guess culture outside of close friendship in the UK, especially the higher up the social strata you go.

Also the further south you go the more guess culture it will get. The more north you go people will be more friendly but also tell you what they think. As a general rule of thumb.

In the workplace too, becuase asking is too direct sometimes commands are phrased as soft questions.

"Should this be here?" means
"I have figured out what is wrong and this clearly shouldn't be here, I will not approve your PR until you change this"

This irritates me, but I've only found on extreme ends of the guessing spectrum.

Generally I find guessing culture more preferable. It places the burden of "is it OK to ask this?" on the asker which is as it should be. Otherwise you're putting the burden of saying no on the requestee, and also gives the requestee the task of saying no nicely.

However if your at the table around a strangers house and you feel that you have to wait for the host to offer you ketchup. Well that's just manners gone stupid, thats obviously an OK thing to ask, it's on the flipping table!
How so? How is it so much more toxic? I’m thinking that you’re just envisioning the good ole days.
yes but none of that has anything to do with SPA as a technology.

the point of an SPA is so that i can share code and data for different pages in the browser without having to get it from the server for each new page.

it does not at all prevent me from using links to the outside or even within the site. (i just built an SPA where all navigation is done via regular links, each view has a different url, they all can be bookmarked, and history works too so you can go back and forth using the standard browser buttons, and links to certain resources take you out of the app)
Yes, I agree. I’ve seen these types of assertions quite a bit myself. However, for someone to write that question, they have to have known that Big-O exists. If they didn’t even know it existed, you wouldn’t see questions like this. Are you being disingenuous, or can you simply not read?

The initial assertion was:

> A self taught person doesn't even know that these things exist

Not “a self taught person doesn’t understand these things”, not “a self taught person doesn’t appreciate the usefulness or application of these things”, or whatever else you’re trying to argue.
I mean "exploit everything available to maximize one's chance for survival"
The section just above the part you have linked also explains that tokio lets you pick the runtime scheduler - https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/index.html#runtim... - so you can run on single or multiple threads (the default is the latter with core and blocking threads as mentioned in the section you linked).

I think you can mix them (or you can, as mentioned in the link, have a separate runtime for CPU-bound tasks) but it is probably easier to use Rayon.
That has always been the case on Wikipedia. Some articles have editors watching over them who revert any edit that doesn't fit their narrative.
The complications here is that all voice, messages, and identities are going through the Xbox live servers.

> Just keep laughing when your teammates scream at each other in various Central & Eastern European languages and you will be fine.

The people who want these rules are completely incapable of separating casual epithet throwing in a public lobby from assaults on their direct person. It's an extension of the "speech is violence" culture that pervades the west. It's cool to be not cool with people being assholes in game. You don't need Big Brother (TM) to police it. The community did just fine. I was called all manner of things playing CS 1.6. The things the internet claimed to have done with my mother was a quite extensive list. I never took any of it personally and half the time it was hilarious. The only difference now is I guess people are doxxing each other which is something I never experienced growing up. But then again, back then you didn't have some sort of narcissistic personality disorder driving you to keep your real life linked inextricably to your online one.
I'm annoyed at them because they are often not as expert as they claim to be.

Not the same, but Jagex has embraced (probably because they really had no choice) the 3p client "RuneLite". There is an understanding between Jagex and that community that the client is blessed, but only if they steer clear of certain features - like things that would reduce how much you have to interact with UI in the game, such as re-ordering items in the Construction right-click menu for convenience.
You are never going to be a billionaire. But you can conceive of being a landlord, surgeon, or FAANG engineer. Those are all wealthy people, you have a chance. But not billionaire.

Do you see? They're like black holes. The laws of physics are speculative at the Billionaire Event Horizon. It seems reasonable that they play by different rules.

Are you asking why "found guilty" means found guilty in a court of law and not some other private person or org asserting a perogative of association? Are you mixing up those two things?
Nice to see a little sanity in these comments.

The only multiplayer I’ve played in the last 15+ years is some Nintendo stuff like Splatoon/Mario Kart or Fall Guys, where there is no voice chat or text chat. The one exception was Destiny, where there was no voice chat by default or I had turned it off. Don’t remember which.

Random internet people are a disaster. MS has a brand to keep up, they don’t want to be known for the kind of trash that make up the loudest segment of online gaming.

Good for them. This seems like the right decision to me.

Don’t like the XBLA policies? Don’t play online on the Xbox.
What's interesting is that you could think of it as a variant of the plumber problem, but where your area of expertise is human behavior and experience.

I don't know what you mean by toxicity, but "back in the day" as you mention, you'd get called an n-word 5 times a match. Nowadays that doesn't happen in most games because they ban you if you do so.

Houndstooth Textile Pattern
Every software that follows XDG-basedir stores config in ~/.config if the env var isn't set.

Imagine you have program "foo" which has config, cache, and so on. What XDG-basedir env vars can you set to make it use ~/.foo for all of that? If you try, then because software following XDG-basedir probably doesn't anticipate that XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME might have the same value (and because your time is more valuable than auditing the code to find out whether they did anticipate this), you are left with .foo/config, .foo/cache, and .foo/local.

You have created a new "home", and, more importantly, you disallow "foo" from ever spawning a separate program that also uses the same XDG vars. Spawning programs is rather a central Unix principle if you have many tools that each do one thing well.
That's what I always felt, like lightsaber fights are apparently about striking each other's blades in the middle with zero risk of hitting each other. They got (even) more visually interesting later on though.

That said, the more I learn about things like that, the less a sword seems practical in actual combat. Spears and (spiked) hammers are where it's at, with knives/dirks as backup worst case.
How does this server prevent bots and spam? Curious if that's built into the project.

A) if all the other software has bad UX, then why does being different mean my software will definitely have bad UX?

B) No, because that's not how statistics work. All it takes is some others talking about my software and getting details wrong, and GPTx ingesting their stuff too. It will inevitably mix my stuff and the stuff people write about my stuff.
When a lot of money without collateral is printed, it dilutes the value of the money already in circulation. That dilution of value is called "inflation".

I've heard endless other "explanations" for inflation. None of them make any sense, and don't fit the facts.

> I'm not sure if age has much to do with people's feelings on the importance of "neighborliness", but since you think it matters - I am in my 40s.

I think someone's experience of major life events probably plays into this. I don't think it fully determines someone's position obviously, but I'd be pretty surprised if it didn't correlate somewhat. There are always going to be outliers though.

> I don't greet my neighbors and never have. And yet, somehow, I am still able to function in society.

I don't doubt that's true, and I didn't say you couldn't function in society either. When I lived in apartments I didn't say hi to my neighbors much either, as in that case the landlord fulfills a lot of the same type of role, and neighbors come and go much faster.

> From my perspective the idea that only friends are capable of helping one another out is a really pessimistic view of the world that - when applied broadly - results in corruption and injustice.

I agree. That would indeed be a very pessimistic view of the world. For what it's worth I don't think I said anything of the sort. I do think people are more likely to help out people they know and like though. I don't know if that's good or not, but I think it's true. Regardless, I don't know how you'd reach out to someone you didn't have contact info for, and knowing someone's routine surely helps as well.
And yet true wisdom is understanding that you know nothing.

or... something.
That makes sense, also it's likely solid state devices would be more susceptible to cosmic rays, high velocity protons, which could cause catastrophic (instant) failure whereas TWTs would be unaffected.

I wonder if you may know any answers to questions I put to AllanYx ?

This was really only a problem 3 or 4 years ago. At some point in time, it just stopped happening and I hadn't really thought about it since then. I am a Google One subscriber so there are probably some support options open to me that I could avail myself to if the issue ever resurfaced that weren't available to me when I wasn't a subscriber.
That's great collection of things

Maybe it will open eyes for people who for some reason acted as if Windows internals were some outdated tech mess just because Windows did some questionable choices when it comes to UI/UX
That’s quite an.. extreme example.

I wonder about this, and not in the sense that this person is being extra cautious still. In my case, I moved into my house a few months before the pandemic struck. When I moved in, the couple across the street came by to introduce themselves when I was moving in. We had a short friendly chat and exchanged numbers.

Once the pandemic hit, everyone sort of disappeared, and I hadn't even talked to the neighbors on one side of the house. During that period, I got more introverted and sort of started avoiding social interactions with people, and not because of a fear of catching COVID. I just became more withdrawn since I wasn't socializing in general.

Anyway, after it got safer and more people were getting out, I now felt awkward seeing the people who introduced themselves on that first day since so much time has elapsed without conversation. (That's on me and my social anxiety, though.) I think it'll require me getting over my introversion to chat with them now.

On the other hand, I have been over to a neighbor on one side of my house a couple of times, but that was them going out of their way to include me.

I think what I'm saying is the pandemic created this weird empty period where people who had just moved in to neighborhoods didn't necessarily build connections with their neighbors and now it'll take some effort to bridge those gaps. On top of that, I think there was some social practice that many of us were out of, which made it even more difficult to just chat up strangers, but I feel like for me this is finally starting to go away.
> I highly doubt that it failed because there wasn't a market for this type of community

But then surelly we can find somewhere on earth a semi-succesfull “this type of community”. Is there such a thing?

The problem as I can see is that people who want, and can pay for, grand marble staircases, and huge windows with intricate moulding around them don’t want to see their neighbor’s ass a mere meters away from those panorama windows. These type of houses are designed to stand on large grounds and overlook manicured lawn. The kind of people who want to live in a mansion like this also want a private pool, and a tenis court, and stables and a spot on the green to land a helicopter. That is the lifestyle which goes with a mansion like these. But with these ones you don’t even have enough garden to kick a football in.
A monoculture means the same thing as a monopoly if that monoculture is in the hands of few people.

And it's obvious why a monopoly is bad.

The systemd monoculture is the same kind of bad as a Google Chrome monoculture.
I think this is inaccurate. Complaints about CEO wages are made from positions that perceive their pay has stagnated and is therefore not compensatory. The facts about wage growth bare this out to be true. When you have executives and C suites making money have over foot but you have no movement in common employee wages you will see comparisons being drawn. Those comparisons will then lead to derision.

Yes, China built six times the number of coal plants of the entire rest of the world last year. Six times! It's inexcusable.

You're clearly cherry picking very old data (2008) that is not published research to try and make a point here. The references aren't even comparable.

Plenty of people would be delighted to embargo China due to their environmental record. If that's what you're proposing, we agree.
TBF 20,000g is totally doable.

The spacecraft weigh 1 gram each, so that would be 20kg of thrust pressure.

Assuming he spacecraft are nominally 2d in construction (a silicon wafer) and the pressure is evenly distributed, I see no reason why you couldn’t expect them to withstand 20k g acceleration.

20kg isn’t a lot to stack on essentially a chunk of solid glass if evenly applied.
By definition "all the other software" can't have bad UX, as a large part of UX is predictability.

And no, talking about your software "wrong" won't matter meaningfully. Also people would have to talk about your software at all for that to even matter, which is not happening.

This is just outright pathetic. This pattern of treating words equally, or even worse than actions is just dystopian. There is way less harm from calling someone mean words/slurs/whatever than from ruining their gameplay by cheating (and they might not even know about it!)...

For fuck's sake, "griefing" and "blocking your teammate" isn't even on the list! That's a way worse offence than swearing in a game, c'mon.....
The reason to have a counterintelligence agency (which is the role the FBI has in the intelligence community) also be a law enforcement agency is somewhat obvious; domestic law enforcement, at least in that domain, is essential to counterintelligence. (I suppose there is an argument that the counterintelligence agency shouldn't be a broad spectrum law enforcement agency, but I actually think the dangers of an isolated, insular, counterintelligence agency and the kind of culture it would naturally breed would be a bigger problem.

> why that payout is in the shareholders best interest.

The shareholders agreed to give their employer a certain number of shares as compensation, before the shares were worth $400M.

Notice that you do not read articles about executives who receive lower compensation because the share price didn’t do much.
People have always built buildings and then banned wheelchairs. Given the opportunity, they'll do it again. That's why we have a push for equity.

Since you're being snarky and completely missed my point I'll join you. Are you fundamentally incapable of using a mute button?
I tend to agree with your overall point, but the comparison is not a particularly good one; you are comparing knowledge of a black site decommissioned in the 1960s to one of the most famous events in human history.
This is correct.

You can’t just say you are invoking the 5th and refuse to testify. If pressed, you actually have to get up there and invoke it — possibly to every question if needed.

The fear of perjury is an interesting twist, though. And the removal of immunity may affect things too.

(Although in your own trial you have the right to not testify, that doesn’t apply here).
