All modern phones use trickery which helps them with still or nearly still scenes. Specifically, the iPhone will take ~100 shots before and after the shutter is pressed to process in software to reduce noise, increase dynamic range, get the focus/whitebalance perfect, and even to do gimmicky features like avoiding people blinking.

If the scene is fast moving, the DSLR has an advantage, because the DSLR captures everything in a single shot, rather than needing to assemble 100 over multiple seconds.

Thats why I think comparisons between the cameras should test real world things which move.

We can ban that on paper and pretend that the problem went away. We cant actually nuke large parts of the GDP.

edit: Saw your nuclear energy edit too late. Thats a great example for protectionism / having a frame for subsidies. We still require energy, that section of the GDP didnt just evaporate.

Car legislation is likewise just a driver for higher consumption.

You would need something equally profitable to do for the sub fleet supply chain to ban it.

2. Take my order (food and drink)
3. Bring my food/drinks.
4. Allow me to pay...

Could add one or two in between, but I don't see any reason why there should be need for anything beyond these basics.

You can get splatter guards that have a glass "top" and some kind of silicone edging. It seems a lot more durable than the entirely thin white plastic ones that are more common. Look for "GGG-GLOU-GLOU GOOSE" (really) on Amazon.

Only downside is that the glass top can get dangerously hot, but there's a handle.
But the food in France is so good I forget about the bad service.
>thats why it wont work through top down regulation and requires user action

Wrong. Top down regulations definitely work. :laughs-in-EU: That's how we banned Apple's proprietary connector, ICE car sales starting 2030, and how (for better or worse) some countries banned nuclear. What makes you think we can't ban targeted ad-tech the same way?

There just isn't the political will behind it like it is on things like ICE cars or nuclear energy, because unlike the latter things, the politicians and voters don't understand it well enough to be outraged about it, so they keep slipping under the radar for now, but there's no guarantee this will go on forever.
rxvt used to be my go-to terminal, but it was only fast in the era where we had actual 2D hardware. That era ended, oh, like 15 years ago? Ish? On the AMD side, Radeon GCN 1.0 (think 7970) came out 12 years ago, and that was their first card that entirely removed 2D hardware (which means all 2D ops are handled by optimized shaders; in Linux, that'd be handled by glamor); but wasn't the first gen of AMD that was in the process of removing 2D, and nvidia was about a gen behind every step on that.

Between then and now, I ended up trying every emulator. The libvte ones tended to be slow, buggy, and missing features (although, nowadays, it's sorta cleaned up its act, but not entirely). The terminal community has been able to write three emulators that make for good urxvt replacements: alacritty, wezterm, and kitty.

Foot seems like its trying to join those three, but it's lack of other-OS support (since it's focusing on being, purely, the best possible Wayland terminal) kind of holds it back (unless you're only using Linux, then obviously this doesn't apply to you).
How Pingora keeps count
It is stable and features are done, but docs needs to be improved.
Are you really comparing a socialite from a wealthy family who didn't have to work to a regular Vietnamese guy who built his own business from scratch?
I broaden this rule to everything:

- If you approach a random person on the street for help, etc, 99 times out of 100 they will be helpful or at least not malicious.

- If one out of the 100 people on the street approaches you, there's a decent chance they are that 1 in 100 people looking to take advantage of you.

Bad people are the exception, there are just a lot of people.
Can relate to both you and the OP. More specifically, I too have tested out (and retested) almost every project management tool and often, every few months or so, tugged at mixing it all up, thinking I'll (re)discover some magical tool that'll solve all my problems. And if I'm honest, when taking a step back, it boils down to (as you mentioned): anxiety associated with lack of progress or organization.

Appreciate the advice you would've imparted on yourself 10 years ago. What stands out the most is "Don't plan for more than a week." When I read this, I noticed a thought come up: how does this person ensure that their short term (i.e. week) maps to long term goals/values etc?
>I have 2 debit cards and two credit cards from UK banks, and my partner has the same. I genuinely don't think I've ever had 3DS reject a transaction for either of us.

I get a 50/50 rate with local businesses in Mexico when paying online with European cards. I don't even bother with foreign cards for local government portals, the success rate is close to 0% when paying online.

Also, many payments have to be authenticated with a SMS, which is sent to my European number. Thankfully some banks allow to add a US Google Voice number.

To "run in the web browser" you mean rewriting the game in javascript.

No, webassembly wasn't a thing yet at the time (arguably still isn't). I'm not sure emscripten existed, and even when it works it turns 20KB C++ binaries into 3MB of broken javascript. Non-starter for a performance-sensitive game engine.
Yes, I meant that plpgsql is on a complete different level from t-sql (and t-sql is already on a different level from pl/sql).

But also, you don't need extensions to enable other languages, postgres allows those out of the box (through the C-ABI). Anyway, that is not very compelling, because plpgsql is quite good already.

The project is a mess, which is obvious if one follows it. There is only slow progress. Instead of focusing everyone on one thing to do it right, they focus on multiple things that remain half-baked forever, e.g. multiple concurrent implementations like Synapse and Dendrite, Element and Hydrogen, Element and Element X, etc. pp. They seem to have organizational challenges, stemming from technical founders who didn’t know that it takes more than technical knowledge to build a great product. I believe they’ve learned somethings, e.g. that Element’s UI has always been crap hence Element X now, which they’ve denied for a long time. But they are surely still learning, e.g. how to be a focused and decisive leader, etc.

A project is always in large a reflection of the leaders. It’s the messy hackathon type project - not the clear and polished corporate project.
Plenty of states don’t have a tipped minimum wage right now. It hasn’t changed tipping culture there at all.
Zero comparison aside from cost. These silly tests never end for clicks, it's like comparing mcdonalds for a hamburger vs a chef, same result but one took significantly more time where quality means something to the creator. Convenience is nice but it's never close to full potential. fwiw, I've shot the z9 and it's incredible.

It might be worth doing some reading on the actual events of that day. For example, "being shot down by a fighter jet" wasn't an option; the fighters weren't armed when they were put up in the sky. The pilots in them went up knowing that if a plane needed to be taken out, they were going to be using themselves to do it. And none of that is to mention the passengers the parent comment was referring to, who made the conscious, heroic decision that their plane wasn't going to be used as a weapon like two previous ones had been, whatever the cost.

I don't mean to assume bad faith, but this was, at best, a throwaway comment that minimized the bravery and sacrifice of a lot of good people. Either way, I'd like to recommend you educate yourself a bit more. The Wikipedia page has some excellent detail, and if narrative structure is your thing, the book The Only Plane In The Sky is a masterpiece on the subject.
That depends on how you're running it. You wouldn't want a compromised image to be the base for your build containers, which get access to your product's source code via volume mount, or to secret keys via environment variables.
Those are probably SGD, not USD. So a bit less, but still a considerable damage.

Good luck. As someone who used to work on a lambda-derived MUD it's great to see a little life left in that community. The original server was horribly outdated even 20 years ago.

I have never heard of pyp before, looks neat!

I made something similar myself, pyxargs [1], which doesn't have all the magic of pyp, but although being geared towards more xargs like usage, it also functions somewhat similarly.

For example, although not as clean as the magic variables x, l or line, you can use '{}'

ls | pyp 'x[:3]' == ls | pyxargs --pyev "'{}'[:3]"

Overall the syntax of pyp looks much better, and the --explain feature is nice since pyp seems to do a little more for you under the hood (the closest pyxargs equivalent being --dry-run). I think I'll start using pyp myself when not running commands over multiple directories of files or in parallel.

Why so binary? Are you one of those people who, during wildfire smoke, goes outside and smokes cigars because "well the air's already smokey so what's an extra cigar?". Yeah, and now you're breathing in wildfire smoke in addition to that cigar, that doesn't make it better.

I intentionally use stainless steel cookware, a stainless steel thermos (although there's plastic in the cap/spout), and glass containers for meal prep/food storage. I use this stuff on a daily basis, so any bio-accumulation will add up. Just because I can't 100% lifestyle-choice my way out of microplastics contamination doesn't mean I can't 20 or 40% lifestyle-choice my way out, and it's 99% as convenient.
I also strongly recommend reading up on the Beast of Gévaudan for a uniquely bloody and strange case of a supposed 18th century village terrorized by a wolf, or at least some large beast. I say supposedly because there were also historical rumors that the real butcher of at least some of the victims in the region was the very man who killed the supposed culprit wolf for a reward from the French king, and as a way to cover up his crimes.

I think scientists (and actually people of other trades) are best when they talk about stuff they actually know.

Sometimes people start thinking that because they got successful in one area it gives them blanket check to talk about everything. Usually, the end result is they greatly overestimate their capability.

This is how many youtube channels die. The authors think they exhausted the topic and are looking to talk about other stuff and they start alienating their fan base because not only they are much less knowledgeable about those other topics, but also because the fan base just did not expect/appreciate those other topics. They came here because they liked the original videos and now the channel became something else which is unlikely to be what they wanted.

As for Sabine, I watched some of her videos on quantum physics and they were very interesting. Then I stumbled on one or two newer videos on other topics she started adding later and they were jarring, on the verge of misinformation/pseudoscience.
If the audience isn't aware of who they're paying to go see and what that artist is "about", then I fault the audience, not the artist.

That's for sure better, although the "what are five symptoms of chronic inflammation" question on the homepage is still giving strange answers (so much cancer!):

> Some examples of chronic inflammatory conditions that can lead to the development of cancer include solar irradiation, asbestos exposure (mesothelioma), pancreatitis, and infection. Other organs that appear to be more susceptible to the oncogenic effects of chronic inflammation include the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, prostate, and thyroid gland. Individuals who have suffered from ulcerative colitis for 10 years or more have up to a 30-fold increase in the risk of developing colon cancer. Chronic viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection also markedly increases the risk of liver cancer. These examples are mentioned in the provided text.

These aren't really symptoms of inflammation so much as consequences of inflammation.

Yes, that's the point?
Do you have kids? I once felt as you, that school was pointless and uninformative, but watching my kids develop key skills that we all take for granted from the focused instruction and practice provided to them by the public K-12 program changed my mind.

Who is being exploited and how?
Then there are countries like Canada, where economic pressures on both business and consumers (nearly all imposed by government) have resulted in a situation where restaurant service is atrocious, yet hefty tipping (15% or more these days) is still expected.

Many Canadians just can't afford to visit restaurants to begin with these days.

Lately, though, even those with the financial means to not care too much about the cost are avoiding restaurants because it's such a miserable experience overall.

The portion sizes are typically quite small compared to the cost. Even restaurants that used to offer generous portions now give less and less.

Many of the servers are low-skilled, low-cost foreigners who lack basic language/communication abilities. Even just placing an order can became an ordeal, with mistakes and misunderstandings being far too common.

The kitchen staff don't seem particularly skilled, either. At lower-end and even mid-tier restaurants, they seem to just be reheating frozen meals most of the time.

After what's often a rather negative dining experience, it's common to be prompted for a tip of 18%, 20%, 25%, or even more when paying.

Even some fast food restaurants, including ones at mall food courts, and take-out pizza joints now have tip jars, or prompt for large tips when paying.

I'm not sure if the Canadian restaurant industry can be saved at this point.

More and more people I know are learning how to cook at home, and even if it takes more time and effort to do, the cost is significantly less than going to a restaurant, and the experience can be far better in pretty much every way.
You have credit from one continent good in another continent, there was some minor fraud and you make an argument that this somehow equates this intercontinental banking system with online ledger of tokens where the money markets for these tokens are routinely involved in billion dollar fraud criminal cases?

Morality is definitely a stronger belief than a mere preference, but it’s still subjective.

I don’t understand where you’re coming from here. Morality has nothing to do with objectivity.

The fundamental flaw with calling humans trying to understand animals from a human paradigm “anthropomorphising” is the ingrained but unsupported assumption that all/most human motivations are exclusive to humans.

In fact, humans share a great deal of our motivations and behaviours with a wide variety of animals, especially mammals.

Obviously there are many, many cases of incorrectly assigning human-experienced motivations to animals, but the fact that we can use even these flawed models to understand and predict animal behaviour begs the question of just how inaccurate they really are.
I agree personally but you’ll find that servers will push hardest against this. It’s possible for them to do much better than the “decent wage” they’d be paid otherwise. I have friends in the industry who clear 50 or even 100/hr. That’s going to be hard to proce into menu prices

Wrong problem. None of what you're talking about is even remotely relevant.
