> I don't really think until today I had anyone say to me, "Look, don't worry too much about which server you choose to start out with -- just pick one, because it's super-easy to switch later if you want to try a different one."

I think that's fair, the resources around joining don't make this particularly clear. Part of the problem is that 'Mastodon' as an organization is not very invested in making this widely known, they would rather people stick with the easy choice because they run mastodon.social. For people who are already on the network it's pretty well understood.

It is listed on this page, at the very bottom (facepalm) - https://joinmastodon.org/servers

This is a better resource if you want more information on it - https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-anot...

I do think there's a paradox of choice issue going on and I can understand why that makes it more intimidating to try it out. One thing that I wish was more widely known is that you can just create an account on multiple servers. If you're not sure you'll like the vibe of a server, create an account and try it, you can either migrate that account or delete it if you decide that server isn't for you. I hope this perspective might make people feel more curiosity and less decision paralysis, it's not a problem to have alt accounts.
Manpage Art
Run:
1. `$ arttime -m`
2. `$ man arttime`
I think the point though is that we're heading to where we're no better off than we were in the 90's as modern "search" returns results that are somehow even less than no results at all.

Those curated lists are looking better and better.
I'm still on 5, but I keep meaning to get something for my shed. If I ever do this I'll buy the latest for the places I spend most of my time and moving an old AP to the shed. It might be Wifi8 by the time I get a round toit though.
> The claim being that its all propaganda, and what we know as 60s ideology (peace love etc) actually never really happened. What did happen was that those that prescribed to that line of thinking either moved to communes, or they dropped so much acid they were societally irrelevant.

This sounds like something you'd read in a pop psychology book, not an actual piece of historical analysis.

Given the visible cultural impact that the "ideology" (to use your word) had, and the sheer number of artifacts we have to attest to that, it's almost impossible to imagine how this claim could be substantiated.

Ironically, the only thing in that that's close to a correct statement is the line about communes and acid, which were actually a very small part of the "ideology" that you're referring to, and relatively rare, but which were amplified in public perception due to media portrayals.
I enjoyed my Index and I also pre-ordered the Apple Vision Pro
I paid a cabling company to wire up my old house. Cost a few grand and they figured out the path (attic, crawlspace, and in some cases the exterior of the house). I have a UniFi system so I got PoE WiFi access points and PoE 4K cameras installed at the same time.
As mentioned, I'm just doing a speed test to show the bottleneck is my fiber line and not the wifi, hence my wifi is giving significantly better performance than was expected by the commenter I replied to.
Phones, I agree, but who cares about phone bandwidth? Phones are junk anyway.

Game consoles, not sure. A console is a pretty stationary device. You can even wire up a Switch, you just need a USB adapter.
Originally, the project had a goal of zero dependencies. [1] I assume that was considered infeasible with the migration to Rust, but part of the philosophy remained.

Yep, for most PWS contracts there are base personnel requirements. That being said for research the bar is pretty high, for regular industry it's pretty low:

- experience in the field (or agency-based past performance)

- clearance (usually public trust for civil, which can be as short as 1-2 week turnaround)

- citizen, US based, with data centers/software inside the US

There are stringent requirements for software the higher up you go (esp to DoD & then IC) but requirements most will meet and build towards while still making $$$. You don't need to have 20 TS/SCI engineers who have IAT L2 and IL6 infra with an ATO at the agency to start with (or even know what those words/acronyms mean), but a vertical in govt will naturally enable that over time.
You can't really run AAA games on the Vision, can you?
The article does not even mention Helium-3, which is rare but can provide limitless clean energy to power humanity for billions of years. It fuses to stable beryllium and thus does not have any of the usual problems with waste storage and disposal. We don't have the technology yet to build a fusion reactor this hot (we haven't even mastered D-T fusion for energy production), but it's inevitable that 3-He will some day become humans' primary energy source. Future generations will be annoyed that they have to recapture it from the atmosphere because we let it escape.
In-memory computing and routing for small-world spike-based neuromorphic systems
> Tesla has been quite successful despite a few hickups along the way, including regarding quality.

Are you implying that Tesla is good quality? They are successful yes, but the hardware quality is just awful. Leaking roofs and stuff like that is not hard to get right.

I rode in a BYD and it was considerably more uncomfortable than my Land Rover Defender Td5, imagine that! My truck was more comfortable as a taller person than the BYD.

I don't know, I think that's still a very one-sided view. China can manufacture good stuff, but in my view only with good external QA. It's just a different culture around quality in my limited experience. Japan and Germany still lead imho.
Home Manager is not Nix.

Of course Apple continues to invest into Swift, making it better and writing more code in it. There's no doubt about that.

This is an hour long talk. I don't see anything in the slides that indicates that Apple management has decreed that Swift is the sole successor language to C++, forsaking all others, and winding down their Rust codebases. Could you help me find out where that is in this talk?
There's nothing in this site that's not in the official Home Manager documentation. See here:

https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml

Or alternatively:

man home-configuration.nix

The official documentation does have examples.
It's an interesting design direction considering the current model year has a physical button to turn the infotainment screen off; it's the button between the volume knob and the source button in this interior shot https://carbuzz.com/cars/lincoln/nautilus/photos-interior#5
Germany: Spores are legal in Austria (maybe also Netherlands?). Then search Uncle Ben's Tek online.

You can also grow legal mushrooms like this, King Oysters in my case. It's a wonderful project teaching you a lot. Start to finish it's about 20 hours of work spanning 2 months.
No this opinion comes from Academia. A large volume of media was created in a very short time, and then essentially disappeared/stopped production over night
Sorry about the cancer. What's the idea behind a heroic dose?

> Why would they be trolling him? They're asking for the basic courtesy of not having their faces shown online, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me. It seems like the pianist is the one who wanted to pick a fight: instead of getting the cameraperson to point away from them

This is a huge public area with lots of empty space (I looked at the video). When I see people recording themselves in public and I think I might be in the picture, I get out of the frame (or turn my back), rather than go up to them and insist "don't post any video that shows my face".

Yes, he engaged them on principle - I agree with his principles, but he should have just ignored the people antagonizing him.

And they have not heard of the Streissand effect.
My son needed a car in a hurry to commute to his job. He hates the aesthetics of newer cars and badly wanted a boat from the 1970s but I did some searching and we wound up with a 1996 Buick Park Avenue. He has had to put quite a bit of money into repairs (brake lines, fuel lines, lots of gaskets) but we think it is likely that we'll soon have replaced everything that rots out over time. The cost of newer used cars is astronomical so we don't feel bad about our repair bills yet.
> They were waving CCP flags

Its a PRC flag. I don't think "CCP" flag is even a thing. CCP or Chinese isn't a race, so I don't get the "race blindness" bit at all.

> The way they acted when asking not to be filmed was very impolite.

Was it? I see a woman carefully approaching the guy and calmly and quietly asking if they were in the video, trying to communicate that they don't want to be. There is a clear language barrier and the guy mocks her when she tries to approach in different ways.

I'd say the guy is clearly behaving like a dick and is actively looking for conflict.

Ironically the very next video YT suggests on this channel is named "security goons try to ban music and failed", suggesting that the guy really has a certain way about himself.
It's more or less the same thing. You look down the runway as you break your descent rate, and then use your peripheral vision to kind of ease the aircraft down smoothly. But the whole time you're doing this, you're bleeding airspeed and eventually the aircraft doesn't want to fly any more. So if you end up just a smidge higher than you thought . . . clunk.

If you really screw it up, you need to go around, or else you'll have a hard landing. Which is embarrassing at best and career-ending at worst depending on what it does to the aircraft.
> some of us shift between the two.

I think ALL of us shift between the two. or rather I'd say that we all experience a combination of both over our lives

when people shift between opposite states way too fast, from a big and deep depression to a high excited manic state that's called bipolar disorder. but normal people can and indeed are (is what I'm saying) expected to experience both extreme but possibly shifiting between extremes over the course of many weeks or even months, rather than a few minutes like in bipolar patients
How long did that period last? It died very fast, and was really only 5 years at maximum. Probably not much longer than the time that covid started until now. A flash in the pan.
I suppose if you want to get what you paid for you have to pirate it.
going after git takes COURAGE, so I'll give you that lol
Depends on what kind of immigrant they are. For people who are permanent residents or otherwise have a legal work visa, I don't think it's much different.
Sure, but J2ME can't seek backwards in open files. (That was added in Java 1.4, and J2ME is 1.3)
Not a single deal to be found in all of Canada?

You only need to find one house. Aggregate numbers aren’t useful.
In Canada, the whole so called "free" healthcare system is collapsing, not just access to family doctors. If you get sick and you're not visibly dying right now – good luck to get any help. The best you can hope for is $60 10 min appointment via zoom with a doctor that can't even refer you to a specialist. Also, you can spend 6-10 hours in your local ER to get help, or be told to come tomorrow because we don't have radiologist or something.

Oh there's an option to subscribe to "case management" plan at your local doctor office for $2000/year per person, then you can magically have ad-hoc slots, phone consultations, referrals to specialists etc.
I got it working a few years ago in my house. But it took a certain amount of shifting stuff around plugs to do so.
A few more relevant books but coming from different angles;

1. Why We Do What We Do : Understanding Self-Motivation by Edward Deci. - From Psychology angle.

Presumably you can just run it plugged in/charging, right?
> So why is it not okay to write about this? Is this a remnant of the "epic hero" with a rocket from the early scifi days?

I would argue that it's by NASA design, to produce better outcomes in spaceflight by lessening useless pressure on astronauts.

Premise: Human incidents happen
Premise: Press is personally bad for the individuals involved

Consequently, if astronauts know they're going to be thrown under the bus in the event of an incident, they are more likely to attempt to cover it up.

NASA doesn't want this -- it wants full transparency and cooperation from astronauts, even when they freak out or things go wrong, so the ground support team can reason from correct information and better help.

So, in order to create an environment in which astronauts can be fully transparent, NASA protects them from negative media coverage.

IMHO, seems a reasonable trade-off.
The effects of low doses of mushrooms/MDMA make me wonder if we have been going about it all wrong. You can easily take 20% of the normal amount and have a pleasant and noticeable effect but still be highly functional. It is like our "normal" dose for those drugs is the equivalent of 6+ drinks, and the idea of only having a beer or two is painted as a waste.
This after not fixing the save corrupting bug in Sunbreak expansion basically since it launched doesn't look good... I love the series to bits, but I'll think twice about getting the sequel
OFDMA and adjustable guard interval modulation are already features of WiFi since WiFi 6. So its not like they're just ignoring those things, they're already there.
China is practicing a very different form of "capitalism" where huge amounts of capital are invested into maglev and such. (Something you can't do here because people have property rights and getting the right of way is almost impossible.)
>in apartments the spectrum is so crowded

“Hear, hear!”
Not surprised to see the "give me my analog buttons!" comments that come out ad nauseum whenever articles about vehicle touch screens are posted.

That said, while in many ways I agree with that sentiment, I have seen vehicle touch screens done well when they are appropriately augmented by physical controls. For example, my car is mostly touch screen but there is a physical spinner in the central console for volume, plus a switch on the steering wheel for volume as well as forward, back and pause buttons. That is, the controls I'm most likely going to want to touch while driving are physical, but controls that I'm likely to use while setting up stuff beforehand (like searching for and selecting a playlist) are on the touchscreen. The biggest screw up in this car is that the buttons for opening/closing the garage door are virtual and behind a menu that autohides after a while, which makes no sense given that 99.9% of the time you're going to be pressing this button twice.

Main point being that car manufacturers definitly screwed up when they followed Tesla's lead of "everything is a touchscreen!", but I don't think pulling everything back to no-touchscreen is the right solution either.
Don't bring CPP into this! you are not the same age! /s
They can also sound this way when they are incorrect and disrespectful.

Ask any young black person who has chuckled at a police officer who has rolled out the "strong smell of cannabis" excuse on a public street to single them out rather than the pungent, oblivious white stoner walking ahead of them who you can still smell 100 feet away!
But in this case, I am still getting what I'd consider great performance out of my wifi 5 AP while using an almost 2 year old device. Moving to a wifi 6/6E/7 AP is not going to appreciably make my Internet experience on my phone any better or faster. I felt this was relevant because the article is about wifi 7 access points.
Isn't there a way to download older versions of game on Steam? Or one just have to backup own games right after purchase, just in case?
Provoking idea. It is interesting that many people jump to adversarial narratives, myself included.

For battery, I think it can be connected directly to power instead of always rely on battery. I may need pure-battery when moving around (hopefully nothing more than 2hr) but have it plugged in when I am stable.
It was on every Arm926, 1136 and 1176. Lots of devices of a certain era had it but didn’t use it.

I agree - there are lots of examples how simplifying something (Shopify, Uber, Airbnb) can dramatically increase the user pool to people who otherwise wouldn't even use a comparable service.
Git is bad for games and they should definitely compare them in their pitch if they want to capture that market.

The only justification for human spaceflight at all is that humans can fix things that a robot can't yet.

JAXA did an experiment, where a volunteer teleoperated a device with a 1 second lag. If there's enough demand, human labor could fill the gap with teleoperation for any station out to the near side of the Moon, and machine learning looks like it will be able to pick up the rest of the slack.

If we go any farther, humans will still have a place, for awhile. Until machine learning advances somewhat.

How's this for a Fermi Paradox explanation? Squishy biologicals nearly always create AGIs, which are so much better at surviving space, that they always dominate in the spacefaring version of the civilization. The AGIs then always rebel and exterminate their biological forbears, then proceed to evolve so rapidly, that their resulting "loud" civilizations are so different from what biologicals would expect. As a result, we are surrounded by machine civilizations that we cannot yet detect.
Every few weeks they do a walk-in (or crawl-in) for those who are not insured. It's not a thankless job but it sure as hell doesn't pay the bills.
I also grew up in a seaside town. Gorgeous place. Beautiful but we grew up with a healthy dose of respect for the sea. maybe we saw too much. But I would postulate the difference is in understanding the sea is moving, constantly in motion. If you do not understand that simple notion, it might be easy to misjudge.
> Sad to see the number of charlatans and the industry has popped up around it.

This is (should have been) expected for any trending topic, but especially something currently seen as taboo. We've seen CBD and the 10000MG 1oz bottles. There will always be fraudsters and scammers. It's just too easy for money to be made by people that have no idea about the actual products, but it's not just drug related. Just look at Amazon to see how prevalent it is, and how accepted it has become
> It complained that the NFC stickers I bought were non-writable.

I'm not an expert at NFC but after playing around with Flipper I've learned that there are different types of NFC devices and they aren't at all interchangeable. They aren't just dumb devices but actual computers that power up and do shit (I think).

I haven't come across a term that covers what we're talking about in full scope(?)(hence my clumsy tug of war metaphor), but that's probably because I am peripheral to game theory / not in the psychology space

(We have lots of terms for the emergent effects - Overton window, Political Polarization etc. - But possibly not for the overall phenomena of why polarization occurs?)
Thanks everyone this gives me a lot to look at.
I would say both. it’s an irrelevant fraction of the market. At the same time, you need some faith to buy into this at the moment. We’ll see in an iteration or two whether it worked out or not.

How big that is also depends on their production run, and I don’t think we’ll have any accurate figure for that for quite some time, if ever.
> I am taking zero VC, and that will allow me to make money on as few as three clients.

A VC would give you legitimacy to help you get the customers you need. What large customers are going to back you with their business unless they know there's some deep pockets behind you? There are few things more valuable than a business's source code, it encapsulates all of their business processes and is how all of the business's data is accessed.

Why would a company want to entrust you with this? How are you protecting against data loss, and the legal liability that comes with this responsibility (insurance, legal)?
Yeah. I feel like any gen 1 product is going to have a lot of issues. So unless you really want to be a super-early adopted and deal with the issues, lack of apps, etc. it's hard to justify a purchase.

I love being an early adopter, but not at $3,500, so I'll be waiting for gen 2 or 3.
My definition:

Everyone on the plane has to die in a way that the plurality of citizens are horrified enough that they can put public pressure on a public figure powerful enough to force structural change

This is the same idea as the cynical idea of “taking advantage of a crisis”

What I’m not saying here is that this is what should happen or that this is how things should happen in a normative way. I’m simply describing that humans make progress almost exclusively in response to disaster rather than proactively preventing it.
Some that I follow are pre-ordering multiples but intending to return all but one. Some did it to secure a launch day model or specific fit.
