Have you been outside?

The South is frozen right now and late last summer Alcapoca got hit with what went from a category 1 hurricane and in two nights over the gulf turned into a category 5 and decimated the entire town.

I think you may have had a bit too much cynic juice

I concur, however it generally isn’t good for the majority when the minority takes over as generally the minority has a discrimination grudge.

Eventually we’ll end up at some type of precipice in which our heroes will save us much like The Day The Rarth Stood Still

This article reminded me of the “beams” that held the universe together in Stephen Kings Dark Tower series of books.

That being said, we have a pretty complete fossil record for at least the last planetary extinction in which Earth still remained suitable for life. Obviously I have a somewhat personal opinion about being a part of the next one.

So I guess this graph more so defines ideal markers of homeostasis as I have faith that this particular planet will continue to support life after us.

Not sure if you’re trolling, but how would one expect Newton to not deliver the most simplistic explanation of something no one else had bothered to think up yet? Since every thought on the theory since Newton proposed it would therefore be a more complete theory because something from the next party’s ponderings to be added to the original theory…

Fret not friend, I see turtles ahead

I was so saddened by this title.. I thought there was a way to find annoying neighbors (at homes I’m interested in acquiring) and assumed this was a service for literally finding nearby annoy[ing] neighbors. To then go through the comments and find that this is a service with a minimum input of addresses and census data which are both freely available as is this service. Bravo hn!

I started with https://www.jobscan.co/ and a couple other ones from a search for ats scanners to of course find out that my resume is apparently lacking.

But how is it beneficial to those who don’t feel violated beyond the point of absolute necessity to always refuse consent because not every advertisement is guaranteed by nature to always be evil and have not yet come to a similar conclusion as yours as they believe that advertisement as a whole on a digital medium specifically in regards to transactions on a monetary level has not yet met their personal defined level of it being ultimately net evil. And therefore feel arguing against a ban of the practice entirely is not currently the most pressing issue with advertising that you keep telling them, their argument holds no merit, which lends itself to the personal assumption that what they are doing is ultimately wrong and therefore they should feel ashamed for it. They are not currently experiencing a feeling of guilt or shame about expressing their opinion and you are insisting, but not projecting, that they should. Ultimately this devolves into a basic summation of simply having their feelings hurt and wanting you to stop arguing your point, as you both actually understand each each other and can therefore continue this civil discussion we’re having and all continually agree that ultimately our shared responsibility society is working and we are still progressing despite the challenges.

But again, why can’t one of the factors be advertising first followed by due diligence before finalization? Especially in the instance of stated facts that can be fairly easily verified by anyone’s personal definition of a trusted source, most especially when presented with simply an incentive to use a stored resource that neither you or any of your trusted sources of truth were even aware existed at all to begin with? Again with specificity at advertisements on a digital medium where there is an enticement to spend money suggested by a third party and they are not evil?

That’s not an invalid personal opinion but does not make it true for absolutely everyone else at the same time.

But again, why is selling stuff abhorred by you as an absolute. A transaction which is facilitated by money is the key component to guaranteed assertion that a single valued skill can be exercised for any good or service at any time so long as everyone agrees that the compensation is fair and reasonable by all concerned parties. It’s one of fundamental components of an interdependent system that furthers the entire race at the same time and regulates itself to follow the current definition of justice needed to ensure continued success of all parties involved. As progress moves forward so then does the equality shared benefit of a longer and more fulfilling existence than would have otherwise been impossible.

Therein lies the rub (or more precisely the problem) advertising at its core does _NOT_ have to be evil. Taking into account that the onus of every advertisement is to entice you to do something that you may have otherwise not considered we still do not negate the need for an advertisement to be evil. Now, you may very well be enticed to do something that is not in absolutely everyone’s best interests in mind, which does indeed qualify as evil. And I believe we agree that there are far too many advertisements prevalent that are indeed evil when referring specifically towards advertisements on a digital medium. So I think that the argument is valid that ending all advertising would ultimately prevent all evil advertising it would also prevent any not evil advertising from ever happening as well. Now again, that may be perfectly acceptable to you, your argument that advertising should not happen at all isn’t really practical for absolutely everyone who does or doesn’t support your absolute opinion on advertisements, as contrary to you, but they want you to simply affirm that their opinion is not absolutely based on them supporting the evil ads that you both abhor.

I’m not arguing that you don’t have a valid point nor that the feature request should be beneficial for the project to add to gain wider adoption. I know why this feature isn’t there though, because doubly encrypting something doesn’t do anything but add another layer of protection they guarantee by default, but that the computational cost of this possibly not needed protection is assumed by the provider and not the consumer. On top of which other features have obviously been added before it, with an announcement of the service with the features that differentiate it from already available and established competing services.

Meh. Come out with the hard truth, most expenditures we make are not fulfilling. The idea that we are spending money to gain something is a bullshit lie we convince ourselves of. Unfortunately non-tangible investments are the most terrifying expenditures. You physically have nothing to show for the money you no longer have and you question its validity and go so far as to course correct and buy something you can hold onto forever. What are these expenditures? Donations, endowments, and just using some of your means to give to someone who can benefit more than you could ever imagine. You know your neighbor who could use a night off, deliver dinner to them and their family. Your cousin who just got out on his own, deliver a weeks worth of essentials from Walmart. I could go on and on, but my personal way of expending my disposable income now a days is to do a free to sub-$100 favor for someone I know would appreciate help, but is too proud to ever ask for something that they weren’t deathly desperate of needing. You come off as an empathetic and generous human being and you don’t ever feel taken advantage of because you’re the one who initiated it.

What I believe OP was getting at is that while he’s being an asshole he’s completely tormented by his own mind not allowing him empathy or understanding beyond his suffering. Since he, like so many with bipolar disorder (myself included) is that the cycle of suffering and abhorrent behavior will continue until he can accept that his brain will not let him out of torment long enough to see how his infliction is broadcast outward and who it really effects. Now combine that with the world’s biggest microphone being used by a man with enough means that it will be dumb luck for him to realize it as he has no consequences for his actions. It’s not impossible to make that realization on your own and it’s even harder to make it stick without medication to make your brain break out of a cycle that you have no more control over than anyone else, and it’s your own mind doing it to you.

Please excuse the last remnants of the technology debate of “Are Apple products worth the higher price tag of their very capable competitors?” It’s been happening since Apple came into existence with people defending or arguing against Macintosh computers to where it is now with cell phones and the higher cost of entry priced iPhones. The ecosystem Apple created is the great divider. It’s a closed garden in every sense of the word, but still a great garden where if you’re okay with the HOA, you can live right on top of.

I think you’re missing a key fact about who cell phone users _can_ _be_. The dumbest people on this planet can still pick up any iPhone anywhere and be able to use it even if they’ve never used the device itself once. It’s muscle memory to people who wouldn’t know what to do with a manual in the first place. You have to accept that there is no barrier to advanced communication technology to anyone with the means to procure said devices. While I appreciate a finely tuned platform for my technology uses, I still carry an iPhone in particular so that I don’t need to do all of that advanced tweaking and personalization by sacrificing maybe 5% of my overall performance by using an unmodified iPhone running iOS in particular. Sacrificing that 5% of performance means the device has no barrier of entry for 99.9% of humans old enough and cognizant enough to procure a similar technology and be able to fully interact with me on a digital medium. Bringing it back to the topic at hand, those 99.9% of people includes family members who didn’t grow up with electricity let alone technology.

No, but I’ll take any moniker of intelligence at this point in my life, so thank you! If you’d like I can prove my Turing completeness if you’d like.

Simply someone getting a break to philosophize about a crowning achievement in my eyes as the entire idea of free and open had yet to even be fully defined let alone on the precipice of realization four decades ago when I signed on to this free information roller coaster that changed the world.

It's an amazing accomplishment that we'll see the benefits of for centuries. The culmination of a free operating system on free hardware that is.

I wanted to check first, and I wasn't saddened when I found netbsd was also available for riscv64. That being said, having a full debian suite to nicely land on is what will gain it adoption. It's a chicken and egg problem where one side is vigorously designing and publishing a hardware spec in search of an operating system and at the same time an entire eco-system of open source development is in search of open hardware to run on.

Fully open systems are an entirely ideological win at this point with a now sub-$50 entry point setups available today. Please also do not get me wrong, working around copy protection and binary blobs serve as amazing learning tools for tinkerers, but not for true beginners.

Some people learn from hands on breaking it and putting it back together, but others learn by knowing that there is a fully documented dearth of information within a mere quandary of any part of the system.

These two worlds are not antagonistic, but in fact entirely complementary to each other. To fully understand and master a system, you have to break it and know how to fix it. While on the same hand knowing how to see what part broke and see an exact way to fix it in the completely free entirety of information available until time itself forgets it, gives you the confidence that there isn't anything you don't know or knowing instantly where to find it if you don't.

That free and open standard will lend itself to future chip designs, broader software options for those designs, and start to make computers adopt there new role as segregated fully autonomous systems loosely networked together into the same status that all 99th percentile that all previous technology has adopted throughout history.

The nerds won, we made computers into a skilled labor.

You're welcome.

The problem is money. The solution is money.

At the turn of the century the only ones paying for this linux thing we were all dedicating our lives to proliferating. Around this time solaris was teasing going open source and freebsd was on parity with linux. We had options then and we have options now. Redhat eventually relented, but here we are again. We've come a long way, now we're leaders and decision makers at our respective organizations. I've since abandoned redhat, I invite you to do the same.

I've never gone more than 12 business days after an abrupt exit in the three times I've convinced myself to do it. That being said one should _always_ keep their employment options open (and available).

Much easier way to negotiate, have someone else do it for you.

Seriously, get on linked in, splash your resume around to headhunters, post about stuff on the internet and get noticed. I call it "Job Fishing" because it's very similar to actual fishing. There are lots of ways to get a job, but if you can get someone else to negotiate for you, your chances of making more money than you would have on your own go up substantially.

My expectation as a performer is that you need to also increase my salary if you want me to keep performing at that level. I'm _not_ an investment, I'm a professional, if they want to keep me, they in turn, must keep me happy for them to remain happy.

The mantra to elaborate is "Up or Out" because at that salary level you have more options available to you as well. You actually know that you can, at any time, quit your job and find another one at a marginally lower or usually the same salary as you're currently making. So if you don't go up in salary, you get out. Generally you start to plan your exit with that salary increase in mine. Every recruiter wants to know they can make you more money, don't lie, tell them "Here's what I make now, and I'm currently employed at that level". Then bounce when the bullshit to money ratio reaches its limit for you.

ok, but....

If you set two clocks to the same time and put one at the bottom of the ocean and one at the top of a mountain ... after time, they will drift apart ... so is this ultra precise time in space making up for gravity time distortion as well?

Geerling is one of those guys who speaks with authority, mainly by not speaking unless he's sure he's an authority on the matter. I've solved many problems by just following his youtube antics and blog posts. He's also kind of an Hn rockstar and lurks here on occassion.

I started my life with a plethora of distros, but I still remember redhat 5.2. Redhat in the latter years as it tried to incentivize became known to me as redhate. Their insistence on gnome over kde was what broke us up, I thought getting bought by IBM would be the nail in the coffin, it appears I was right.

php and mysql were a much simpler time
