It isn’t easy, but this isn’t about the hardware. It’s about the software packages. Tons of software meant to run on 32-bit hasn’t been updated to run on 64-bit natively. Thus the burden of keeping a lot of packages that serve as backwards compatibility.
There’s nuance to this.
Fairy tales, as we know them, are a fairly recent (18th century) invention. The traditional European folktales they were based off of, didn’t include morals, weren’t aimed at children, nor were they intended to be used as teaching tools. More likely, they were stories to be told around campfires or at hearths while sewing, weaving or whatever, and mostly were told amongst adults to amuse each other. Thus the very mature topics and dark humor tone of many traditional tales, specially those that didn’t include children or animal characters.
Stories with morals where usually of the tradition of Aesop’s fables, and more common on academic or philosophy circles as study material. It was Perrault and Grimm’s innovation, popularizing these folk stories by adapting them and mixing in a fable structure and aiming the stories to an audience of the high class, first the high royal courts, then the Victorian aristocracy. This audience were the one’s who emphasized moral rectitude and using the folk stories as teaching aids for children.
Then the 20th century saw the commercialization of fairy tales as stories aimed at children through the rise of bedtime stories literature and Disney’s animated film tradition.
No, that’s how you lose users. Private, nontransparent decision taking makes projects get dropped immediately.
The timing just sucked. 32 bit has to go, but it can’t be this year or next year. And it can’t be a blanket drop as the dev wanted. Alternatives are not ready yet to keep gaming working, and gaming was the number 1 factor holding back desktop adoption.
He is also falling for the internet fundamental attribution error: “If I hate or love something and everybody on the internet agrees with me, it’s because I’m always right and we are all intelligent individuals. If I love/hate something, and everybody on the internet disagrees, they were lied to, manipulated, astroturfed, are ignorant, misinformed, etc.”
It could be true. But it could also be that your proposal is very unpopular and you’re wrong.
I keep all my ebooks neatly categorized in Calibre. I also keep track on Storygraph. I still register what I read once in a while, but don’t bother with any of the reading streak pressure because it causes me anxiety. I love checking once a year and see that, despite the fact that my currently reading list never goes down. My read list is always growing (as well as my to-read list). So I decided to stop worrying and just enjoy whatever it is I’m reading at the moment without pressure.
Check that again. OneDrive is not a backup application, it is a cloud storage application. By default it syncs folders. If you open OneDrive on the web and delete a file there, it will be deleted on the computer on your drive. It’s not backing up your folder, it is replacing it. The internet is filled with testimonies of people failing to understand this basic difference and getting confused about why their files are deleted. Most other cloud services do one way backup by default. MS does a poor job of explaining this behavior and just push for the use of OneDrive blindly.
By default OneDrive comes configured to backup the entire user folder, it overrides the default user structure. It creates a labyrinth of shortcuts. This messes with other applications that expect a default user folder hierarchy, but sometimes it fails to resolve the correct links. You effectively end up with two user folders that coexist on the same symbolic links and are both present in your computer at the same time (different place on the harddrive but same place for the OS). This wouldn’t be a problem if OneDrive were only backing up the folders one way. Unfortunately, it is actually syncing the OneDrive and your folders bidirectionally, and this includes deleting files and folders.
Thus, if another program or another computer associated with your active directory user account messes with the folders at the same time, there exists the possibility that OneDrive confuses your empty user folder, with the virtual user folder. It believes the empty folder structure is the newest and most updated version. Because internally it only has time stamps but it doesn’t store metadata on the procedures. It sees, file existed at 01:33:12 and no longer exists at 01:33:13, it doesn’t know why it doesn’t exist anymore. Now it thinks this computer is outdated and it proceeds to sync, erasing all files without prompt.
I’ve seen this happen at least three times.
Whenever any of this comes up I remember that physics professor’s speech on first day of quantum mechanics that got viral:
“Nobody understands quantum mechanics. The people who came up with it don’t understand it. I will do my best so that by the end of this course you don’t understand it either, and so you can got out to the world and spread our ignorance.”
Or something to that effect.
No, they were dating then later married. She traveled to Spain during world tours, she wasn’t even a Spanish citizen back then. The idea was that Piqué’s lawyer is the one who set up the supposed companies that diverted money to tax havens. They were married, so they shared a lot of income and ventures. She didn’t pay attention and thought that her responsibilities in Spain were covered, but got targeted. Things got worse when it turned out that Piqué was cheating on her, apparently was trying to seize part of her fortune, and ultimately abandoned her with a lot of paperwork hanging from her side of the divorce.
I mean, she is still a rich person, so I want her taxed to highest rate that is legally possible. But she also pays taxes in two other countries and in the two others got investigated and turns out she pays way more tax than she should. Why commit fraud in one country but not the others? The distinguishing factor is the power that Piqué had over her estate as her husband in a very misogynist country that still has feudal holdovers and is still a monarchy. You have no idea how bureaucratic Spanish tax law is.
In the end she is actually being responsible and taking up the penalty with grace. While there are other celebrities who have proven in court that the IRPF lies to collect penalties from people. Reading the court proceedings is really laughable, it reads like a fiction novella rather than a legal document.
She wasn’t avoiding them. It was her then husband, Gerard Piqué. Spanish footballers are notorious tax convicts. She just decided that it wasn’t worth the hassle to fight for it and just paid the penalty as she was literally in the middle of a divorce with him when the issue reached courts. If have had the time and emotional energy to fight the case, she would’ve proven her innocence. But when you are rich it is easier to just pay for the problem to go away.
Of course, but the problem is that it is a waste of time over something that shouldn’t happen in the first place. Our teams are often out in rural areas with spotty internet connections. If a bad sync can wipe their user folders, it takes a good connection to do the rollback with the ICT team hundreds of kilometers away. You can take a wrench out of the gearbox, but it doesn’t mean the gearbox isn’t fucked for a long while during repairs, and the wrench shouldn’t have been thrown in to begin with.
The worst part is that we have to keep working with the neutered OneDrive because MS is shit.
Am I the only one that thinks one drive is cool?
I mean, yes. It is cool until a timestamp error convinces OneDrive to nuke your entire use folder. IT at my organization actually bans the use of OneDrive for whole disk synchronization. We can’t get rid of it because it is just part of the Office and Outlook package, they depend on it for some dumb reason. But, enough people lost work valuable documents, and it consumes so much storage, that we were under a “how to disable OneDrive backup without losing your documents” campaign for several months. It is also an information leak target, that shit sends unencrypted telemetry and compromised our data security model.
There is, but it’s not fun or interesting. Just weight the pasta. The change in volume is irrelevant, just make sure it is between 25 to 75 grams of dry pasta. Then you’ll get between 50 and 150 grams of pasta per person. The weight gain is absorbed water.
Don’t give them another idiotic justification for the tariff wars.
It’s not so much a reward. It’s just the natural outcome when your intent is to stop crime, and not to be cruel with punishments. In most countries it is still culturally taboo, but treating people well is the first step to stopping them from committing crimes. Mental health attention is only possible when you work with person who is being treated with basic human dignity. Antisocial personalities of course are an exception who commit crimes and trespass social norms out of different reasons than common criminal but they aren’t actually that frequent or common. Crime is a complex multifactor issue. More often than not it is a mix of unmet needs, opportunity and the belief that they can get away with it. If you fulfill the needs of the person in a socially acceptable and healthy way then reduce the open opportunities for crime, you can stop crime before it happens. Punishment and its harshness, on the other hand, have absolutely no impact on crime rates.
I’m having flashbacks to having to explain to idiots that one large pizza is way more pizza than two medium pizzas.
People are using NAS for things they aren’t meant to do. They are a storage service and aren’t supposed to be anything else. In a typical data center model, NAS servers are intermediate storage. Meant for fast data transfers, massive storage capabilities and redundant disk fault tolerance. We are talking hundreds of hard drives and hundred gigabit connection speeds inside the data center. This is expensive to run, so they are also very energy efficient, meant to keep the least amount of required disks spinning at any given moment.
They are not for video rendering, data wrangling, calculations or hosting dozens of docker containers. That’s what servers are for.
Servers have the processing power and host the actual services. They then request data from a NAS as needed. For example, a web service with tons of images and video will only have the site logic and UI images on the server itself. The content, video and images, will be on the NAS. The server will have a temporary cache where it will copy the most frequently accessed content and new content on demand. Any format conversion, video encoding, etc. Will be done by the server, not the NAS.
Now, on self-hosting of course, anything goes and they are just computers at the end of the day. But if a machine was purpose made for being a NAS server, it won’t have the most powerful processor, and that’s by design. They will have, however, an insane amount of sata, PCI-e channels and drive bays. And a ton of sophisticated hardware for data redundancy, hotswap capacity and high speed networks that is less frequent in servers.
They made The Knick which was cool, and sure it has the odd softcore porn scene here and there, but so does almost everything HBO has ever produced. It was their only drama production, but it wasn’t without merit.
Is it region dependent, maybe? Which series or movie? I still see the static HBO intro in everything, including the just premiered stuff.
paint.NET most likely. Unironically it is a really great image editor and has some cool tools for pixel art.
God forbid the racist asshat doesn’t feel welcome on the internet. Fuck asmongold, he is stupid and this argument is stupid, racist and made in bad faith. He is plain wrong, don’t defend the racist.
