Well some of your frustrations are fixed in 10, you can have system wide ssh installed on windows (thought not right at install time) its in the optional windows features. They also have multiple desktop support as well and supposedly the new explorer will be coming
They started out somewhat strong with an interesting discount concept. Offer games at a discount somewhat close to other third party stores that sell steam keys, but then for any of their 4 'promo' games you also get a 10$ voucher back that you can use on anything 20$+. It was a good way to get people to keep coming back.
Only problem is after a couple months they stopped offering any real discount on games and did things like 2% off NBA/Wrestling game of this year. When comparable stores already offered 20% off. There became no reason to go to them for months and they only started offering good discounts again a few weeks ago, probably when they realized they were going under
I still remember to this day one of my EE professors (this was at a top 10 engineering school) asking the class "What is the best grade you can get in this class", the 4.0'ers in the class of course say 100. He then asks others and gets the response of '90'. Which is the correct answer. You have put in the exact amount of effort needed to get the same amount of credit as the person with 100, saving you wasted effort and time while reaping the maximum reward
Thinking like this translates into the workplace as well. You do have to determine at some point what is 'good enough' and where your diminishing returns start on effort. You are a resource at your job, and if you are wasting your time constantly improving things for that last tiny percentage when you could have moved on to an entire other project that they desperately need then that is indeed wasted effort to them
Also ATS (apache traffic server) has a branch dedicated to quic that developers who have been working on it at IETF have been implementing. The wire protocol works today, http-quic however is not implemented yet. But there are already at least partial implementations out there
Dual monitors, and apples dongles are flaky to begin with. So my usual work setup is 2 usbC->DP adapters, one for each monitor, and then power in to a third usb port. At home I have a usb hub/switch, so I can switch my kb/m between my desktop and work laptop when Im working at home. I plug the switch in to one apple dongle that also does HDMI output to one monitor, then a second apple hdmi dongle for a second monitor. Then I still need to supply power because for some reason supply power through the dongles can be hit or miss.
So i basically always need 3 usbc ports whenever Im using my laptop
When I was in college and attempted to vote there most definitely was suppression. This was in a fairly red state but the town of the college was basically all college students and could easily swing the entire county. Our polling location was in the middle of nowhere, so unless you could get a ride you were SOL. Secondly, even if you were registered, and showed up with a valid ID, many times they would require more documentation. I.e. I was a out of state student but had registered to vote locally, but they would not accept my out of state ID as proof even though it was a valid driver's license. They required something like an electrical bill to prove that I lived there, even though I was on the voter rolls
Being a student and having limited time I basically had no choice, I had to get back to class and had no other time to go vote so I was not able to vote in that presidential election
Why is going to bed early and getting up early a value? Its all arbitrary. At least all of the shops I know of and have worked at dont really give a crap what time you show up (at least before noon so you can be there to discuss things with others or to make it to a meeting when scheduled). As long as you aren't inconveniencing someone else by not being there what does it matter, do your 8hrs of work and as long as you get it done adequately who cares
Of course this doesnt apply to shift work, when you have to be there at a certain time, but for anything non shift going to bed early and getting up early is a preference, not a value
Just wondering, do elementary schools not offer after school programs anymore? I went to after school every day when I was in elementary for 2hours until my parents could get me
Stop accepting every single request, thats the first thing. My connections are all basically colleagues, others I know in the industry, or actual friends. I do get the usual amazon recruitment spam, to which I got part way through the interview process from until they decided to waste my time scheduling a phone interview and never calling.
However my current job where Im very happy at came from a recruiter from linked in. It was a place where former coworkers worked, and I had heard good things and had been interested, so it was easy for their HR department to find me through there. All initial communication was done via linked until the interviews started. So its all in how you use it.
Also sitting in on some interviews at the new job, everyone there uses linked in for reference during interviews, none of us expect a physical resume anymore, everyone just has a laptop open to your linked in so they can reference it and google terms from it as needed for questions
ummm, not really. I live in Denver, we dont really get all that much snow, at least nothing that sticks around and is annoying. The east coast and midwest (like chicago area) are much much worse. We may get a couple ~6in snow storms each winter but due to the elevation and fairly consistent sunlight its usually mostly melted away within a couple of days. Last winter we only really had one such storm that I can remember, and usually its like an inch or two thats gone by noon the next day.
The actual mountain areas are completely different, they will have consistent weekly snow, but the denver area is a completely different beast from the areas 30-60min away
^ These articles are dumb and need to normalize based on cost of living. 100k in SF is worth 46k here, and in this area that is about right since you might be able to get an average 1bed apartment and cover some bills with that with a little left over, sounds maybe comparable to 100k in SF.
not always. My last manager (and the one before him beofre he left) was great, I even contacted him when we had an open manager position at my new job to see if he would be interested. Its just that everything was wrong wasnt really up to him, he was being hamstrung everywhere by upper management and accounting
There are NVENC blocks on the nvidia cards as well specific for hardware encoding, all gpu's that feature encode have hardware support for it otherwise they wouldnt even bother to offer it as it would affect actual game play too much
They managed it because now the functionality is easily built in to basically all decoder/encoder firmware. Previously I know Dish had this on their set top boxes using SRS algorithms, but with the advent of MS11/MS12 that brough in dolby digital plus support basically everything, those firmwares contain auto volume leveling and compensation on a mass scale. All roku had to do was pay to enable the support, flip the bits in the settings of the firmware, and it was done
how am I arguing with you? This was in response to 'you no longer have electricity to power your home', I am in complete agreement with you. Unless you have -1 hidden and cannot see the post that it was in response to and assume it was directly at your post?
Huh? The coal companies even said they are being pushed out by a glut of cheaper natural gas and renewable energy. If they can not provide a product at the same level of quality and at a similar price to competitors then why shouldn't they go out of business? People will still get power to their homes, by the providers that are providing the goods at the best cost.
Banks and coal mines are not comparable in any way, especially in the manner in which they are failing. Major banks fail and the economy collapses because no one can borrow money, whole populations do not get paid, and it all goes in to a downard spiral. Coal companies fail and...................... we get the same product at the same cheaper price we did before
All depends on where you live. It took me ~9 years to hit that point, but Im willing to bet if you head to SV you could do that in 3 or less. Of course a much much larger percentage of that money then goes to rent and everything else living in that area, so really you could be having a lot lower standard of living while earning a lot more. If you are in a non-tech oriented part of the USA then 20 years could be normal
what surprises me is when people insist on enforcing the bad method. Multiple times Ive been at a line to get lunch (at a sub shop) where most people do a single line to feed to 2 registers. However multiple times Ive had someone behind me ask which line Im in, to which I respond 'whichever opens up first'
Just seems odd to me people cant get simple efficiency concepts, but its usually that 'me first' attitude that brings that out in them
Im also on FI, I usually use at most ~800mb but more typically in the 500mb range. When Im at home Im on wifi, at work on wifi, and out it's hit or miss, hence the 500. End up with a 24-28$bill on average saving 240$/yr over tmobile. Throw in some extra 10$ here and there if you happen to go over 1gb and it's still cheaper
So an actual ex-president is no longer relevant but yet somehow a presidential candidate who did not win and has gone off the radar is still relevant? Man you guys got some hard-on for hillary dont ya?
oh it definitely uses more ram. I installed it just to give it a run through
1) Requires a plex login just to open it after installation, fail on ubobstrusive 2) After login requires a plex audio server running just to see audio files, fail on the audio player part when it cant even browse a music collection by itself 3) Uses 160mb of ram just to display the 'Could not find audio server' window, fail on small
Well they aren't even close. Figured Id give it a shot just to laugh. So first of all it requires a plex login just to use. After a login it also then requires a plex audio server running to server music, completely ignoring the entire idea behind 'audio player'. Finally just sitting there at the tiny 'could not find audio server' window it uses 160mb ram
Retransmission fees put in place by the owners of all those stations. Same reason dish lost CBS during thanksgiving for much of the country, they refused to pay for the retransmission rate hikes from the companies that own the local stations.
Indeed, just leaving work a few days ago when the swarm was first reported, walked by some bushes downtown and a ton of butterflies flew up out of them, never really seen that before downtown

I love lamp
It's just min-maxing your time and effort.

Arriving to work on time sure, thats a fine value
Why is going to bed early and getting up early a value? Its all arbitrary.
