Maybe it's disabled if your workplace uses Copilot?
It unfortunately doesn’t appear that it is. I downgraded my Jetbrains IDEs because AI Assistant kept trying to clobber over my other tools, even when disabled.
Despite them claiming defunding, the public budget clearly shows they've only been getting more money, year over year: https://abc7news.com/where-police-departments-defunded-how-d...
Yeah, I'm extremely lucky to work at a company where I could take an unpaid leave of absence and also I work with a great team that was happy to make sure my oncall shifts were covered until I got back.
I'm not going to say everything was perfect - sometimes it was miserable (mosquitoes, wildfires, close encounters with irresponsible hunters, etc). With that said, it's been more than 3 months since I've finished and not a day goes by when I don't think about it.
The people you meet out there are fantastic too. I'm fortunate enough to live in Colorado, where a bunch of us came from, and we hang out fairly frequently. We actually went for a hike yesterday that I wouldn't feel comfortable inviting just anybody on.
Me personally: I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mexico-California border to the Washington-Canada border in 2022. While I missed work on trail, it definitely made me realize that once I'm financially independent, I'm mostly going to be living a life outdoors, with occasional indoor time to play music.
Your situation is a bit different from my goals, but honestly if I had that opportunity, I'd be doing my best to explore the woods/mountains nearby in whatever way I can.
I also kind of agree with the "Learn German" comment - learning a non engineering skill that's also either practical or brings you joy is a great way to eat up time. I'm speak a few languages, but as I only regularly use English in my day-to-day life, just maintaining the other ones at a high skill level is a time consumer, though one I enjoy doing.
Somewhat unrelated, but I saw the mirror on bitchute of this video and dear lord are the comments toxic. Like they make YouTube seem tame.
which makes me irrationally unhappy
I'm somewhat comforted to hear that others have similar reactions to music applications. I rarely ever feel myself getting angry over things, but the one thing that gets me feeling uncomfortably heated is thinking about how much worse music apps and streaming services have gotten over the years.
I think I, like many people, have a very emotional connection to music and things that get in the way of that feel like a very personal attack, even though that's not reasonable in any way.
At one point, I think I was signed up to every music stream service and had some issue or another with all of them:
* Google Play Music - nearly ideal, but incredibly buggy once I switched away from Android to iOS, and the fact that it's in perpetual "dying but not dead" frustrates me. I've also moved almost completely away from Google at this point. * YouTube Music - Takes the worst parts of Spotify and YouTube and puts them together, with no benefit over the app it's replacing. * Spotify - I find the UI infuriating after a year of trying to switch to Spotify. Every time I try to let go of control and listen to my music the Spotify way, I can feel myself getting more and more frustrated. Additionally, I don't think they understand what a queue is, their implementation of a queue never ceases to surprise and frustrate me. Playing everything by a single artist is difficult to do well, without dragging in a lot of crap, and the "This is $ARTIST" playlists are mostly awful, IMO. * Tidal - Lacking many basic features, has the same queuing issues as Spotify. * Deezer - Almost gets queuing correct, but the fact that they always try to add music to your queue when it's empty and the fact that clearing a queue still isn't possible is a non-starter. I know there's a feature to disable auto-play, auto-add music, but on three separate occasions I've tried to turn it off, with support attempting to manually turn it off for me, without it working. * Rdio - Was almost perfect, but is now dead * Amazon Music - In terms of conceptual design, works better than most, but I've mostly gotten off of Amazon's services and their app's performance was abysmal last I tried. * Apple Music - I have many of the same complaints as the author, I just can mostly overlook them as they have a weird queue that I can almost adapt to. It frustrates me once in a while, but it lets me listen to music.
Apple Music is currently my daily driver, but I still have several premium streaming accounts as I _want_ to listen to music and will happily pay for them, just unhappy with the offerings atm.
I'm not contributing a ton to the conversation this late into discussion, just sympathizing with the author that, at least with streaming services, I can very much empathize with someone who can't find a good solution to just play music.
Maybe not relevant to you, but my Pixel 2 XL was already $900-ish, so switching this year to the iPhone XS wasn't a big deal.
I will say a brand new iPhone 8 is also currently $599 (and the 7s is even cheaper) and will likely get updates for the next 4 years or so.
I've used Android since the original Android phone (T-Mobile G1/HTC Dream). It felt hypocritical, however, to have switched away from most of Google in my personal life and still give them access to me through my phone. I dislike Apple for many reasons, but I'd much rather deal with those issues than continue to use Google.
If that's the case, that's incredibly misleading. Especially because that's not undiscovered by human players, just by the OpenAI team, if that's what it is: https://blog.openai.com/more-on-dota-2/
"Sumail pointed out that the bot had learned to cast razes out of the enemy’s vision. This was due to a mechanic we hadn’t known about: abilities cast outside of the enemy’s vision prevent the enemy from gaining a wand charge."
That's not an undiscovered mechanic in the world of Dota - that's been known for a while and at least documented since 2015 https://dota2.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Magic_Stick&oldi....
I wouldn't be surprised if it was known before then, I certainly remember this from a while back.
Again, if that's not what it was, then I take back what I said, but if it was, I do think that statement is misleading as written.
TBH, it'll just probably annoy people and those who do it will be seen as desperate. Kinda like the fake hair ads: https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2017/12/11/16763664/sneaker-ad...
I've been using this for my Senior Design project's docs, and so far I have had no issues.
Thanks for open sourcing!
Can you explain? I've been able to use my Nexus 5 without directly interacting w/ Google+ at all.
The only place I could think of where the integration is jarring is the photo uploading feature, but I've simply told Dropbox to do it instead.
As someone who is Korean, I don't find it all that more efficient or less efficient than Latin characters. I also speak Mandarin, however, and I do appreciate Hangul's terseness.
I wrote my name in Hangul and it came out to 16 "strokes", in English I approximated about 18 strokes (things like m/n I'm not quite sure how to calculate in strokes, so I counted both as a single stroke).
Meanwhile my Chinese name is a whopping 52 strokes. I hate writing my Chinese name.
Github repository web pages when down show an angry unicorn. If it's still down, here's an example: https://github.com/github/linguist
Had fun with this for a couple minutes. Would definitely be cool to see what this becomes.
A couple things I noticed:
Underlining and placing the description of the command on the same line as the command made me totally glance over the actual command. I typed "Make box" two or three times before I saw there was an example, and then finally I saw the syntax.
Another nice thing would be if there were some defaults, especially for the initial x/y values.
A question would be, how exactly are joints supposed to work? Sometimes they seem very rigid, other times it almost bends.
I wouldn't say so, but Tig Notaro's Live I would consider worth beating the average for standalone (even though you don't have to).
To cpeterso: (HN has a reply depth limit) A cheesy build has a couple definitions depending on who you are, but it generally refers to an "all or nothing" style build that usually depends on a gimmick that goes undetected.
For example, one race of Starcraft has early access to a building that can fire upon enemies. If they can build these building strategically near an enemy's base without the enemy noticing, they can effectively box an enemy in, preventing them from expanding or attack until they commit a large enough force to destroy those buildings.
The same race in Starcraft can build permanently cloaked units that can only be detected with an "observer" class unit/building. If you can obtain the requirements for building said cloaked units without your opponent noticing and then build a few, you can send in these invisible units to damage your opponent until they have the proper response.
Basically, it's a strategy that can be overwhelming if it works, but it has a few tells and being discovered committing one of these strategies early enough is basically a loss.
The dragon-eel thing is an Ouroboros.
Well yeah, I get the whole 240p on twitch (I'm a little bit better - like 480p or something). I'm talking about how when I would be in the US or Korea even the lowest bitrate option refused to play past slideshow speed. It's also the only one my friends in other countries actively complain to me about (since I'm the "computer guy" for them).
And yeah own3d had nice performance but it's understandably simpler to get good performance when you're not paying any of your contracts.
As for your last comment, I've gone back to GOM since their video quality has gotten better over time.
In relation to the article, yes it would be great if either Twitch beefed up their performance and had a clear way to contest ToS violations, but there have been quite a few competitors to Twitch and all of them have given me far more reasons to actively distrust them than to trust them over Twitch. I don't stream video games but if I did I couldn't see myself on any competitor right now.
Maybe Google could try their hand at something like that? They obviously can do live streaming decently well (although Youtube's speed has decreased for me greatly in the last few months).
While I agree with the sentiment, the current "competitors" that have shown up are either equally twitchy about TOS violations [1], have abysmally poor performance in many areas of the world (again I'm referring to ustream.tv), or are basically scams[2].
They've also been pretty good about talking to people about their TOS violations and reverting bans if necessary [3].

* Random link I found by looking for twitch.tv restoring accounts. I know there have ones where it wasn't twitch.tv's fault including recently a DOTA 2/SC2 caster, I just can't remember where he posted his stuff.

I think you're the one proving ignorant here.
With 32GB of storage, you probably wouldn't want to.
I know, it's just funny to see how passionately against Linux he was just a bit ago.
But you told me Linux sucks...

Also, this is just my opinion but I feel like notepad++/wine is a wasted combination when there are so many better multi-platform text editors that are available for Linux.
I would argue that two of the nations listed at the top (Singapore and South Korea) have many similar problems. Both are fairly religious societies and have pretty strong anti-intellectual politicians.
As someone who's attended high school in both the United States and South Korea, I'm also not seeing how the Korean society is any less anti-intellectual - we have moronic interest groups, we believed in fan death for generations, our public schools are absolutely horrid, and we enjoy censoring large swaths of the internet (although admittedly a lot of that is pornography).
The only "leg up" I can think South Korea has is their focus on Hakwons (basically after school tutors).
He mentions in the description for the video hitting Jill Stein selects Jill Stein. He was eventually able to vote by hitting a very small area between Obama and Jill Stein.
What was the question? The site seems to be down and Google doesn't seem to have a cached version yet.
I hope that calling this "Scuffgate" is just a poor joke...
