Libraries are so unfair to Mr. Bezos. They should obviously be demolished. But I'm concerned that their demolition would be an expansion of government "doing things". It would be best if interested parties simply be allowed to demolish them at will without interference from the state.

For podman, via fish shell, this worked for me:

  set -Ux DOCKER_HOST (podman info -f '{{ .Host.RemoteSocket.Path }}')

How to mine Siacoin

Siacoin can be efficiently mined with ASIC mining machines.

Not sure why you implied there was any need to look further into this. It seems to be based on proof of waste.

Viber uses a double ratchet implementation and lets you sync history to new devices.

Are there DSLRs with image processing features like Google's "Night Shot"? Where you can take a very long hand-held exposure and it will never be blurry?

I don't get the feeling you can fix this through voting with your wallet. Markets don't seem to solve these kinds of issues, on the contrary, this seems to be a negative side-effect of their core nature, that all decisions come down to profit maximization.

Maybe exerting our collective power for the public good through democracy? Some kind of new commerce regulation that would disallow bundling in general? I wonder, are there arguments that there would there be any downsides to doing that? Does anyone believe that bundling is a net positive in any sector?

I've marked dozens of videos on a single topic as "not interested", only for them to be replaced by different videos on the same topic soon after. Marked all those as "not interested" again, and the next day there were more.

The only thing that works for me is finding the video in my watch history that's causing the recommendations and removing it there. Often it's even something I didn't watch all the way through or even gave a thumbs-down; apparently thumbs-down also means I secretly want more of this content?

YouTube's recommendation algorithm is somehow worse than useless.

Here are some video reviews looking into the sensor data accuracy:

Not great unfortunately.

The `--reference` and `--dissociate` flags to `git clone` can be used to avoid the majority of the network transfer while still creating an independent local repository.

I have qBittorrent installed. For me searching "bitt" displays only "Battle.net", which is not even a valid match. hilarious.

For the competitive games where higher framerate is most advantageous (i.e. shooters), I come to the opposite conclusion. Games like that tend to have long periods of low activity where you aren't being challenged, with short periods of chaotic fighting where framerates are significantly worse. It's only during those chaotic times where the performance (of both the hardware and the player) actually has an effect on the outcome of the match.

I think it's far more important to have a consistent framerate than it is to worry about wasting potential (fast) frames. Inconsistent smoothness and input lag will create a disadvantage compared to just playing at a capped (lower) framerate.

So I think a balanced system (both the hardware and the graphical settings) with a 144hz monitor should be able to run games at far beyond 144 fps most of the time, so that the framerate will only drop down to around 144 in the worst moments. I would even suggest setting a framerate limit near the worst framerate your system often drops down to in the game.

How much your hardware needs to be "overprovisioned" depends on how poorly optimized the game is. For many games this can as much as a factor of two difference. So you might only be putting 50% load on your GPU most of the time, but peak at 100% load at important times.

When you say fork are you talking about the desktop environments or the whole distros?

Pop's desktop environment looks like a barely customized Gnome3 session to me. I'm not sure I would even call it a fork. Looks more like just a theme.

Pantheon (Elementary) is more of a fork of Gnome3, reusing some low level parts but presenting a much different experience to the user.

If it would have prevented WhatsApp from being acquired by Facebook, wouldn't that have been it working?

I still don't get it.

In typing position, your arms are not parallel. Neither are the fingers of one hand parallel with the other. Doesn't that make the standard staggered layout more ergonomic than ortho? Isn't that the reason for the staggering?

To estimate the optimal intake for each dietary factor, we first calculated the level of intake associated with the lowest risk of mortality from each disease endpoint based on the studies included in the metaanalyses of the dietary relative risks. Then, we calculated the optimal level of intake as the weighted mean of these numbers using the global proportion of deaths from each disease as the weight.

That methodology sounds like it would only be valid if each type of harm functioned entirely independently and was only affected by a single intake factor?

The words "carbohydrate" and "calorie" appear nowhere in the study. Did they allow the effects of caloric malnutrition to skew the calculations of optimal intake levels?

If consuming more carbohydrates is helpful compared to being malnourished, that does nothing to show that there's a minimum level of fruit and grains that are necessary for health.

If adding more fat intake to a high carbohydrate diet is harmful, that doesn't necessarily mean fat is universally unhealthy.

This just seems like a report of correlations that are biased by the distribution of diets that are being commonly consumed.

The low level answer is that you can pin content to the cache so it won't be evicted: https://docs.ipfs.io/guides/concepts/pinning/

However, it seems like something that would need clever UI integration to really solve the problem. Any user oriented actions like github starring, reddit upvoting/saving, browser bookmarking, etc. might need to also do a pin?

This already exists when tabs are used for indentation.

Some people have always been there. That doesn't mean they got there because not being homophobic is a slippery slope.

Your video seems to be about a pedophile who is upset that the LGBT community isn't inclusive of pedophilia. I don't understand what point you were trying to make by linking that.

What are these lost taboos you're referring to?

It sounds like you're saying people ought to go back to being homophobic, for example, because it will save us from a slippery slope to pedophilia?

Why not both.

If 20% of CenturyLink customers canceled their service for a week in a very publicized way, CenturyLink would scramble.

Their customers can't do that without incurring ridiculous early termination fees. And many of them don't have any other option for broadband anyway.

Further, I suspect boycotts very rarely work even against companies that aren't quasi-monopolies.

Most bikes have mounting points for two bottle holders. If you're going to be riding for over an hour you'll probably need two bottles unless you have somewhere to refill during the ride.

Why can't the device just chose a single wake schedule and communicate that to each push provider? Hopefully UDP can be used so there's no need for any keepalives or handshakes during the wake periods?

Are clocks too unreliable or is there too much NAT because everybody's too lazy to implement IPv6 still?

One of the ways forced arbitration benefits companies is that the individual being subjected to it knows their complaint will be decided by a kangaroo court.

They also know that any award they might receive will be smaller, and that if they do not win the case, the process will be costly and without appeal.

If the win rates remain unchanged after filtering out most of the consumer/employee complainants who don't have a slam dunk case, that is likely because there is systemic bias.
