There is not much power needed to receive DisplayPort over USB (assuming you already can receive displayport signals or just route them to an external monitor).

You just need to implement an USB billboard device (optional to make it work, but required by the spec IIRC) and signal the correct alternate function. Then DisplayPort signalling will be present on the USB-C plug. Then just connect the right AUX wires to the DisplayPort connector.
It took 10 years[1] for GTK to add the ability to rename files and folders to its file picker.

How to tie your shoes
https://www.ted.com/talks/terry_moore_how_to_tie_your_shoes?...

I had randomly had shoes untie all my life. I had to teach myself to tie them consistently the same direction.

I can't believe I was never taught this, much less learned it on my own.
“Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the
right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I
moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years.
If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to
revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, devoted it to wiping
out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.

Hiro used to feel that way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this is
liberating. He no longer has to worry about trying to be the baddest
motherfucker in the world. The position is taken. The crowning touch, the one
thing that really puts true world-class badmotherfuckerdom totally out of reach,
of course, is the hydrogen bomb. If it wasn't for the hydrogen bomb, a man
could still aspire. Maybe find Raven's Achilles' heel. Sneak up, get a drop,
slip a mickey, pull a fast one. But Raven's nuclear umbrella kind of puts the
world title out of reach.

Which is okay. Sometimes it's all right just to be a little bad. To know your
limitations. Make do with what you've got.”

Yes, but I can be assured that any input will follow one of the code paths that I explicitly wrote. There's no hidden runtime path that will bite me later, meaning that I had to at least reason about every non-happy path at some point in the dev process. It doesn't make the output "correct" but it's more likely to be correct than programming with happy-path-only optimism.

A few years ago someone kept trying to steal my motorcycle, so I decided to make a small camera with really long battery life to catch them.

The hardware/software is totally open source, but the companion app only supports macOS currently. (I'm a big fan of native apps, and didn't want to block releasing on Linux/Windows support.)

Hi - I am trying to run this on an Intel Mac. I got it to launch once, and attempted to open a small (~30mb) sqlite DB, and got a crash. It now hangs/freezes as soon as the application opens (taking over > a full core of CPU e.g. 120% plus utilization in Activity Monitor), even after deleting and re-downloading the .jar file. Any ideas? Would love to check this out!

I think it's fair to say the 80s riots were 'riots against the economic policies of the current administration, which was British.'

Given that the 1967 riots were explicitly CCP-supported, they've a clearer line to regime change as a goal.

And given the CCP was somewhat busy in the late 70s and early 80s rendering Mao's excesses anathema [0], it's unlikely they saw formenting revolution in Hong Kong as a priority.

> E.g. the same shampoo when labeled for women here costs more.

Hmmm... is it really the "same" shampoo? In my experience, products aimed at women typically have fancier packaging, added scent, and often exotic ingredients (which may or may not have any actual effect).

All of those things cost more money.

It's like the argument about laundering and pressing women's blouses costing more than men's dress shirts.

Men's shirts are more or less standardized, and can be processed using semi-automated equipment, while women's blouses often have lace, ruffles, or other decoration, large fancy buttons, unusual cuts, etc. and have to be pressed by hand.

It looks like a pretty reasonable order of magnitude estimate to me. Energy arguments tend to be quite neat for that because if the efficiency is at all reasonable they constrain things well with fairly simple calculations. The antenna directionality is also reasonably well understood and characterised. The exact noise level discussed later on is probably where things get a bit more uncertain (but aren't directly needed to answer the question).
If the traffic can't be identified and it isn't a known endpoint, then that's already suspicious.

As this subject is interesting to me, I decided to read one of your articles to understand where you are coming from. And I came across this part[0]:

> The cited evidence is two men who joined the Lithuanian Rifleman’s Union, an organisation with a stable membership of around 10,000 people (0.3% of the population). ... The article presents no data or other evidence to suggest behavioural changes in the Lithuanian population: the anecdote of two people is generalised to the entire country.

So I checked the article and it says:

> "We are growing dramatically in numbers. Three years ago we had 50 people in Vilnius - now we have 3,000."

and then:

> Some 4,000 troops are being shipped out to the region - with 1,000 German soldiers allocated to Lithuania.

So while I believe your engagement in bot detection is genuine and you can offer some useful insights into how some bot detection platform are broken, as for the field reporting, forgive me but I still trust more traditional journalists than you, in spite of living on this Earth long enough to realize everything is imperfect.

Amazing. So glad this project came along!
(X) Doubt

Last time I was in a medical space, intermittent fasting was all the buzz. The idea that it somehow has opposition from mainstream medicine seems like the kind of thing that an internet community would invent to pretend at being brave rebels (and run defense if case they were caught getting frisky with unsubstantiated health claims.) If you search "intermittent fasting" on google, the results are full of very positive articles from all the big names in medicine:

Johns Hopkins: Intermittent Fasting: What is it, and how does it work?
Mayo Clinic: Intermittent fasting: What are the benefits?
Harvard Health: Intermittent fasting: The positive news continues

So no, I don't buy for one second that "most doctors do not believe something like fasting can improve health."
It's really hard to take privacy and security advice from the NSA....
There's a proposed entirely-thermal iron reduction process that uses sodium as the reducing agent. This produces sodium oxide, which apparently can be decomposed back to sodium and oxygen by vigorous heating. I have my doubts about the overall feasibility of this scheme, but it doesn't involve any electrical energy input.

That doesn't entirely follow, though. Just because you could talk to the alien computers doesn't mean you could execute a program on them. IMO the deleted scene is the only way it can make sense.
Nice! Also, regarding "it was surreal and uncomfortable to read through messages from a decade ago...", I can say that most people say things as teenagers in ways that might make them uncomfortable a decade later. :)
There's a lot of vagueness in your last statement and I'm not sure what you're trying to imply.

"Most doctors" is an unspecific appeal to authority; which doctors can you cite that do not believe something like fasting can improve health?

"believe" was already mentioned by another commenter. An authority will make an assertion based on facts, not a belief based on ???

"something like" is it fasting or is it something else? Be specific.

"fasting" What kind of fasting do you mean? Between sunup and sundown like ramadan? Intermittent fasting? 30 day juice diet fasting?

"improve health" Improve how? And what aspect of health? "Health" is such a broad term that saying "this is good for your health" or "this food is healthy" are empty statements.

Ah! I figured it out. User error. I had hit "open file" instead of "open database" and the application decided to open the 30mb sqlite DB as text (e.g. a sql query), including syntax highlighting.

Yes, let's propose fundamentally altering human nature. This is an approach that cannot help but be successful, with zero chance of horrific side effects in its implementation!
There's not a lot of appetite for that, though. the 70m receiver is already one of the largest ever built, and for most use cases it's looking better to use an array of smaller ones. Which works fine for receiving but not so much for transmitting (while there are multiple sites in the world capable of receiving from voyager 2, there's only one dish which can actually transmit to it)

(I recall seeing a video on that dish, and the director seemed confident there was enough noise margin left that voyager's power would fail before they lost contact with it)
It is alpha software but it seems like you may have employed some bad practices in your C++ projects and taking your frustration out on IWYU, which has pointed them out.

Yep. Timezone definitions already change regularly due to governments messing around with time; so software is already set up to handle this case.

Though I wonder what happens with the international dateline -- would it shift around the world, or would the UTC offsets get larger and larger? I imagine the latter would eventually also result in software issues when the UTC offset starts exceeding 24h.

I suspect you have misinterpreted the meaning (a-ha :P ) of the word "negative", here. It was not (I claim) used to imply "pessimistic, depressing, upsetting", but rather - literally - to mean "an answer which is 'no, null, empty, not-a-thing'".

I'll freely admit that I didn't read to the _end_ of the article - but I got about halfway through, and I didn't detect any sense of disappointment from the author regarding their "negative" answer (nor, conversely, a yearning for a "positive" answer).

>In healthy work environments

There are healthy work environments in the military. Basic training, however, is not one of them. There are certain things about joining a military, like the prospect of having to be sent to kill other people you've never met or be killed by them, that changes the calculus of what is "healthy" or not.

I remember in basic there were Drill Sergeants you learned that could be reasoned with and those that could not. Your experience depended largely on which DS was on shift when you screwed up.

Tradition isn't proof, but also it doesn't harm credibility, at least to coherent people, and that's how it should be*

Eventually if there's enough proof, the consensus shifts, regardless of how much initially people try to deny it

Fasting goes against recent consensus, yet it's becoming both more researched and more recommended (At the very least at the layman level, I'm no dietician)

I write frontend code and especially with CSS it's always trial-and-error, "bruteforcing" as you describe it. Sometimes you just gotta play with it until it works, while utilizing what you've learned from the previous times whacking at similar problems.

Exactly, it was such a unique time... I can't even wrap my mind around all the trends that cascaded together to create that magic but from today's vantage point it doesn't look like anything will ever compare to what we had going.

Lol, Kiberian, the GM of the new DnT was a gay 20-something immigrant from Spain that would bring back 50 year old dudes back from the club and put them on ventrillo for us.

Congrats on the launch

> Actually, we had also launched our Beta version for the first time last summer, but that was just a "submit and forget" type of launch. As you can expect, we got zero traffic from that.

You shared the results achieved from the second launch but it's not clear from the post what you did differently this time
Someone’s asking the hard questions! According to the oracle, 1 in 4 people will experience one photon from voyager in their lifetime.
There's another major factor. I suppose it falls under the encoding. Frequency stability. In a certain sense, having an extremely precise oscillator at both the receiver and the transmitter, is the same thing as just having a better more frequency-stable antenna, or less noise in the channel (because you know what the signal you're listening for should look like).

I'm no physicist here so take this with a major grain of salt. I think the limit might ultimately arise from the uncertainty principle? Eventually the signal becomes so weak that measuring it, overwhelms the signal. This is why the receiver of space telescopes is cooled down with liquid helium. The thermally-generated background RF noise (black bodies radiate right down into the radio spectrum) would drown everything else out otherwise.

Along those lines, while I'm still not quite sure where the limit is, things become discrete at the micro level, and the smallest possible physical state change appears to be discrete in nature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle Enough work physically must occur to induce a state change of some kind at the receiver, or no communication can occur. (But this interpretation is disputed!)
Correction, it's not the EC that runs Tock, but rather the GSC (the creatively named Google Security Chip). It used to run a system called Cr50 while recent versions run Ti50, which is Tock-based.
