I lived on a catamaran around 2000 onwards as a kid. Solar panels were surprisingly widespread, particularly on multis with outboards (and therefore limited ability to make power through alternators). Obviously the $/W sucked, but people also didn't have as many power draws. One big drawback was older generations of solar panel had terrible performance in partial shading. A stay or rope shadow passing over the panel was a big issue because of fewer bypass diodes, simpler battery chargers, and so on. That sort of thing is a bigger issue for a yacht with less clear space for panels.

So there were a lot of diesel powered yachts generating power throughout the day. Something that was pretty common back then as an adjunct (and much rarer now) were small wind generators. Seemingly you could choose between noise and power output because the fancier ones made a racket and the quieter ones always seemed to be on boats idling their engines all the time anyway. When we entered anchorages, we'd make sure to avoid being near the loud ones. I can't imagine what it would have been like living with one.

Hydrogenerators weren't very common (they're a bit more common now) but my dad was given an old 12V tape drive motor by a friend and I remember him letting us help him build a towed generator. The tape drive motor sat on the back of the boat connected to about 20m of rope going to a dinghy propeller on a piece of stainless rod to try keep it underwater. Drilling a hole through the motor shaft with a handheld drill was the most time consuming part of the build. We called it toady (short for towed generator) and watching the input Ammeter on the battery bank go all the way up to 6A on a cloudy day felt like magic. It's part of what made me want to be an electrical engineer as a 10 year old.

Given all that, on a 19ft outboard powered yacht in 2002 a generator probably was the best solution for one voyage.
IBM-era ThinkPads were great, but Lenovo has been progressively diluting the brand, trying to copy Apple, and releasing way too many models to be able to pay attention to detail. Still, they are often the best x86 machines, but competition from Framework is more than welcome.

Something that I find particularly annoying are persistent issues with noisy cooling systems. Some models are great, but others have poorly thought fans and overly aggressive firmware. Software fixes can only remedy part of the problem. I wish they stayed closer to their original ethos of high-quality utilitarian computers.

Something like the 25th and 30th Anniversary Editions should be in their main stock product line, i.e. stop messing with keyboards please. The original was fine.

I believe you are mixing up different cases. That is not the statute used at all for the Turkey case. The Alien Enemies Act you are referring to was exclusively used for the designated foreign terrorist organizations (i.e. TdA & MS13; Venezuelans who went to El Salvador prison).

Heh, I've got a T440 [T420i, see edit] I'm running FreeBSD on. Definitely tank status. It is even one of the 'rare' HD ones.

EDIT: I just turned it over to check and its a T420i Type 4177-X07 pretty much solid as a rock. I also discovered it would run with 16GB of RAM so there's that.
My thinking is their time is divided now and could lead to less efforts spent on headscale.
A rebirth of mercantilism. Peter Navarro is a huge fan of it, and in his heterodox fever dreams, laments that most of the world abandoned it several centuries ago. In his mind, a net surplus of currency is every bit as important as having a strong military. People like Lighthizer have drunk the coloured sugar-water.
Estimates are not deadlines. They never were deadlines. Real deadlines are contractual or legal - these are externally imposed, and should be communicated honestly as such, also with a clear awareness of the hard consequences of not meeting them.

It your manager does not understanding that estimates are not deadlines, find one who does.
Better would be active radar, but it all helps, especially when you have to sleep.

I had the same issue with Stephen King, reading it in English after reading Spanish translations is a different world.
Exactly, and that is the problem that needs to be fixed. Paying more for the same things doesn't solve a spending problem. It makes it worse. You could completely eliminate international trade and still have a debt problem. You just slowly sell the country and economy to lenders until there is nothing left.

Edit: when you run a deficit, you trade worthless paper for real goods and services. If you don't take on debt, they have nothing to do with it but spend more and buy more goods. If you limit debt, you get negative interest rates in real terms

Or... Trump isn't evil, he loves America and is doing the things he said the President should do since the 1980s. People who blanket think Trump is evil are victims of propaganda. People who voted for him are the ones paying attention.

One of the few things I'd change about the X220 is the strange 2-piece lid. (What looks like a cosmetic flourish in the lid is actually a seam.)

Two of the four used X220 units I've bought arrived with the lid end piece wiggling, because it was no longer firmly attached to the main piece.

The X200 and almost every other ThinkPad managed just fine with a 1-piece lid, including being rugged against drops, so I don't know why the change.
Might see it at WWDC this year?
> The formula simply reflects the premise that, in a fair system, trade deficits would average out to zero.

I don't see why you would expect that.

Consider a rich country that mostly exports expensive manufactured technological things. It imports one of the natural resources it needs for this from some poor country that is mostly poor farmers and the poor laborers who extract that natural resource they export.

Its hard to see a way for the rich country to not have a trade deficit with the poor county. Even with what the poor country makes from exporting their natural resources they are unlikely to be able to afford the items the rich country makes.

Or consider two countries that are both rich and have about the same population but have different tastes. Say in country X 90% of the population likes big SUVs and trucks and only 10% like small cars. In country Y it is 90% who like small cars and only 10% like the big ones.

A car maker that has factories in both countries could find it more efficient to have an SUV/truck factory in X that makes the trucks for both countries and a small car factory in Y that makes the small cars for both countries than to have both an SUV/truck and a car factory in each country.

But since the big SUVs and trucks cost more than the small cars Y is going to have a trade deficit in cars with X.

Voting for a party explicitly demonstrates at least acceptance of if not outright support for its platform. You don't get to absolve yourself of support for kicking puppies because the FooBar party also includes a modest tax cut in its policy agenda that you really want.

Virtually no independent thinker is going to support either major party's platform, for the simple reason that both parties have a collection of inconsistent policies that are an incoherent ideological mishmash. Therefore you do not so much vote FOR a party as you instead hold your nose and vote AGAINST the other one.

Like the parent commenter, I frequently see high quality posts via showdead. I vouch them, but I've never seen one resurrected soon after. I rarely remember to go back and check hours later, but by then the thread has died down anyway.
why? ai writing is one of the few places where ai might actually be good. topic choice, inwriting, editing are also huge things.
Can't speak for everyone ofc, but not sure if I ever wanted blurry placeholders when images load fast enough, or found them anything but annoying when not. I think these bells and whistles only serve as designer's self-affirmation.
Monads in Haskell is just a way to combine two functions into one when the output of the first function doesn't match the input of the 2nd function.

That's all there is to it.

It is not a way to "box values". Yes you can use it for that if the functions you combine happens to operate on "boxed values" (like Maybe) but that has nothing to do with the fundamental idea of what a monad is.

And yes there are "monad rules" that ensures that combining the functions "makes sense". But people sometimes use monads in Haskell that doesn't actually follow those rules. But it works fine anyways for whatever they are doing.
You sleep for 20-30 minutes at a time, looking for traffic in between. Seems miserable.

Does that link only show vouched items of some recency? The page is literally blank (minus header and footer) for me, but it's probably been a week or so since I vouched a comment.

edit: sorry, I missed the sibling comment to this. I only ever come across dead comments, not posts. So I needed to add &kind=comment to see vouched comments.
You started with "Stir the pot in the media", and brought emotions into it.

But the point still stands. Legal does not mean moral. And there is a legal obligation to represent the will of all the people of the country, not just those that elected you.

Clearly, the law needs to spell out exactly what legally needs to be done in the case of an expideient deportation, so it codifies some sense of common morality.

But to your point of resilience: The resilience breaks down when people lose their faith in it. Why trust a system that can act aribtrairily like this? Do we really want our guests to fear that speaking in solidarity with nearly half the country is grounds to be treated like a criminal, and be subject immediate and expedient deportation? That's not the way a "great" country behaves.
When you say “rebase” what do you mean exactly? Is it the application replaying the transaction including the interactive code, or is it the database writing the same rows/pages that were written last time?

It's more about watching people pivot towards unquestionable evil. "Empathy is a sin" is such a deep, dark line in the sand. I'm not going to just stand there and watch you cross it.

Yes, there are visas Like L1 Visa where you can work in US but never apply for a Green Card, and this is considered a non immigrant visa while H1b is considered a dual intent visa. Which is why regularly people who come in on L1, separately participate in the H1b lottery!
i have always wondered something about this kind of hacking. How do you guys come up with these ideas. Should I download the top 100 apps from the AppStore or Playstore and try to reverse them or introspect their requests and see if I hit a jackpot. Perhaps I can report a bug bounty and maybe score some credit from the company to whom the app belongs. There are millions of apps across both stores. Perhaps find a way to introspect all of them? No seriously, do you do this full time. Is ethical hacking your job or how does this work? How do you randomly go about finding stuff that nobody has found out before
Sure I mean a lot of people on every political leaning don't have practical policies but that's besides the point (people can even have bad independent thoughts so impractical policies aren't inherently relevant). The graph isn't even "often people who disagree with me are tribal" it's "literally only some people near me ideologically are independent thinkers".

Edit: this is the graph, everything outside of a group of moderates is 100% on the "groupthink" side of the graph. It's an inherently condescending way to look at people who you disagree with and a disservice to your point if you're trying to get people to listen to each other.

Of course it varies by person, but they generally take small naps with the goal being that the nap is short enough the boat doesn't travel "past the horizon" or in other words past where they could see when they were at the helm. That's speed dependent, but I've seen them say 20-40 minutes naps. Further, there are systems like AIS (automatic identification system) that broadcast your location that depending on the area most boats above a certain length will have on, so your receiver can be set to alarm if a beacon comes within a certain distance. You can also set up a radar system to alarm if it detects anything in your path in a certain distance, those are notoriously unreliable though. Plus you have a VHF radio that can be set to scan and someone might hail you in time to stop a collision. With those on, people who are willing to accept more risk will sometimes take longer sleeps and just risk it, especially in less congested waters. That channel in particular recently had a comment about accidentally sleeping through their alarm and going for several hours unattended.

But solo sailing longer passages is inherently a dangerous proposition.

While I was previously the go-to person for building new features, I was unable to contribute to the implementation of Angular due to my lack of experience with it.

was he unable or was he not allowed or simply not asked? it sounds like it could be the latter which is something i'd expect from that kind of dysfunctional company, but if he was really unable then this person should not be working as a software developer.
Framework’s offerings are interesting, but after having gotten used to the solid rigidity of M-series MacBooks and X1 series Thinkpads, the level of flex in the Framework 13 is a major issue for me. It’s difficult to justify for the price, plus PCBs and repeated flex stress don’t mix nicely.

I think it’s time for either Framework or a third party partner to sell a new chassis that’s compatible with the FW13’s mainboard, but focuses on a more sturdy, premium feel, even if that means doing away with the modular port cards. I suspect that mainboards housed in such a chassis will fare better over time than their original housing counterparts.

Having a visa doesn't give you the right to enter. I don't think permanent residency does either.

It's always at the discretion of the immigration officer and there's no recourse if they don't let you in.

Personally, I don't think it's generally reasonable to jail at entry when denying entry is an option. The case where the UK tourist was denied entry to Canada from the US and then was jailed in the US is a case where denying entry isn't really possible, because if neither side of a land border will allow entry, what do uou do... but then it shouldn't have taken more than a couple days to make arrangements for her to fly home on her own dime.
I am not sure how you avoided collisions (network namespaces?) on the localhost port space, but for things like this, you would be better off forwarding to/from UNIX domain sockets. It is more efficient as local tcp sockets have several times the overhead. You probably would want to set StreamLocalBindUnlink yes and StreamLocalBindMask 0117 in sshd_config. Then use UNIX groups with the group sticky bit set on the directory where the unix domain socket is made to allow multiple users access. The directory would be owned by that group while each user with access would be added to that group. It reduces some network overhead and is highly secure. I recently used this trick to connect a bunch of machines to a remote service through a jump host.

Also, take it from someone who has been running services over port forwards for years. You want to set ClientAliveInterval and ClientAliveCountMax in sshd_config on the server (if you have not already). Users should be encouraged to set ServerAliveCountMax and ServerAliveInterval In ssh_config on their machines. Furthermore, it would be best if the tunnels were run by daemon tools and had ExitOnForwardFailure set as part of the command that is run. The ssh command used at the client side likely also should set -nNT. It is also good practice for the machines running ssh to have dedicated accounts for the tunnels such that their daemon tools scripts are essentially two lines, a shebang followed by exec setuiduid user ssh -i ...

Finally, if people want to do very low overhead and highly secure setups, they should bind the services that they reverse forward to unix domain sockets locally and reverse forward the local unix domain sockets over ssh to remote unix domain sockets. They can use a file mode sticky bit on the parent directory to make the local Unix domain socket accessible by the ssh command running on its own user, which locks things down locally fairly nicely. A typical process running on the machine will not be able to talk to the reverse forwarded service thanks to the Unix file permissions. Lastly, using ed25519 or ecdsa ssh keys would make the initial connection process very quick compared to using RSA.
I would be interested in knowing what Chick-Fil-A does to prevent this. Pretty much every customer facing job that doesn't hope for charity at the end of the service is pretty bad in the US currently, but somehow they achieve the level of service of what I would get in Japan.

The only thing I've been able to surmise is that they probably pay the managers very well and mostly just hire smart high schoolers that may have been passed over or didn't know about internship opportunities, and pay slightly better rates than McDonald's. They still pull the same scummy things as McDonald's with pressuring employees for goals that only benefit the manager, but maybe its not so bad if you're getting paid more than your very young peers.

Chick-Fil-A would probably try to attribute some religious meaning to the Sunday off for their adult workers, but it seems like any company could just guarantee a day off on the weekend for their workers.
at this point, what's even the point of immigrating here? if you're still young and haven't rooted yourself to this place (no family / house / significant other), I'd advise to leave and look to build a life in a different country. the best years of your life would be better lived elsewhere.

Kinda works ok for these types of games.

A lot of modern trackballs are fairly small and lightweight. They don't have the sort of mass and quality of bearings, most of the time, that will make them move around properly and roll like classic arcade balls.

Arcade trackballs are kinda designed to hammered sideways and pushed by the bottom of your palm. Can't really do that with a computer trackball.

The Kensington Slime Blade pro is the closest in terms of physical size. The ball will go flying if you try to get too energetic with it, though. It is just sitting in a depression.

The Ploopy Adept is another possible option with similar issues. It uses a smaller billiard (1.75 inches) ball as its central ball. It does have high quality sensors, which makes a big difference. Since it is open source I thought about buying one and modding it for a full sized USA-style pool ball (2.25 inch). Which would be awesome.

Of course you can actually just go and buy a genuine arcade cabinet quality ball that will support USB. You'll need to make a custom gaming panel for it, though.
I think the claim is that a lot of people stick with the tribe regardless of how closely it matches their world views. It might be dismissive but it resonates. I've seen people keep voting for the same parties even when the policies have shifted very significantly.

Since you are left leaning, presumably American, a good example is the Republicans. The current policies and values of the Republicans seem to be very different than let's say those of 20 years ago. But you don't see a lot of movement, i.e. you don't really see people saying because your actions of policies changed I'm going to re-evaluate my support for you. Maybe the other team is now closer to my world views. It's a lot more common that people just keep voting for their camp or team. I'm sure there are studies, this is very anecdotal. There are also many e.g. single issue voters, they only care about a single issue and nothing else.

Independent thinkers, who dive deep into issues, who challenge beliefs, who weigh multiple issues and considerations, who potentially shift their position when the goal posts have moved or they've evaluated new information, are rare. It's much easier to stay in an echo chamber/team/tribe. We see this all the time, another example is the pandemic. It's lack of nuance.

You see this in the political discourse. Instead of debating things of substance it's more of a rally around the team approach. You're never going to see in-depth discussion/analysis on tax policies, or security policies. Anything that doesn't meet your world view is automatically discredited whether it has merit or not, It's going to be they bad we good/polarizing/conspiracies etc. This pushes people farther apart and I think it also pushes policies farther apart. Maybe sometimes it is that simple but plenty of times it's not.
