Signed up last night. Where / how do I find this community..?

LOL. I like it. I paid for it. Well worth $20 / year for the fun of it.

iPad Pro 11 inch - I use it all the time. It's not perfect, but whether I like it or not, it gets used the most often.

I am using a HHKB Pro Hybrid as a daily driver at work and a Realforce 104-u at home.

There is no such thing as the perfect keyboard, but HHKB Pro layout is something that stood its test of time (~10 years). And I don't see it getting replaced.

The Realforce may get benched, because I'm getting more used to wireless keyboards. So far it hasn't happened yet.

I wish I had the flexibility to choose. I definitely find driving to work rather relaxing (only because I can take the back road).

Released, but can't find the download link..

This is frustrating. After realizing I can only afford a small condo in Metro Vancouver area, I moved to a low COL city (relatively) 3 years ago. While the prices are still somewhat affordable from the West Coast standard, prices have gone up significantly in the past year alone.

Here is mine.

To screen capture every 600 frames:

  ffmpeg -i my_vid.mp4 -vf "select=not(mod(n\,600))" -vsync vfr -q:v 15 img_%03d.jpg

To make a montage that's 1024 px wide:

  for d in \*
  do
      (montage -mode concatenate -tile 4x -resize 1024x $d"/\* "$d".jpg)
  done

Aha! Ty!

If I set this up with Firefox, would DNS look-up also use SOCKS?

I wish there was CLI-only version of the Docker Desktop. I can't even launch Docker Desktop unless there is a monitor connected and a user logged in.

Me too. I've subscribed and unsubscribed to their digital plans a bunch of times in the past ~10 years and it was never difficult. Perhaps this is new?

How hard / difficult is it to change the service address? For example, if I go on a week long vacation to Miami, can I change the address before I get on the flight, and have it ready to use when I check in to the hotel..?

I agree, but I was stressing it's there if I choose to recycle an old disk.

No doubt that RPi has been a game changer, but I can never convince myself to build a light file/media server with a Pi. Do I really want to spend $100+ buying a Pi and accessories, or should I just spend $300 on a Synology... which actually has an NVMe slot.

This means they want to suspend the processing of current queue of H-1B apps, right?

Haha I will try to find a copy. Anecdotally, the goods I saw were far from conspicuous. They all looked straight out of some music videos (heard of the "Ugly" shoes?).

Right, but I think EVERY sneaker is a Veblen good. A pair of $20 sneakers want to look like a $100 one and $100 sneakers want to look like $300 ones..

I'm not glad these stores are doing bad, but I just never understood how a pair of sneakers can cost $700 - $900 when I can buy a decent laptop with that kind of money.

I only see Gradient and Core. Where is Workstream? Neat idea!

Is it possible to view the number of tests ran? I keep seeing in the news that the current numbers for US are probably very off as very little tests are performed.

Good luck to the team on this endeavor. I have never had a chance to use a laptop / workstation from them, but they must be doing something right since they have been around for a while now and that the community has nothing but great things to say about them.

I've built bitstreams, but these days I build software for consumer electronics with screens running ARM Linux.

Ah great, thanks. It's actually very helpful. I was actually looking at the Passmark score a week ago, but couldn't tell if it's trustworthy. Nice to get an endorsement.

Thanks for the comparison. How do you know the 8850h is desktop equivalent to the i5-8400? I can't seem to find it in the chart.

Yes... a Mac Mini Pro with a workstation processor (doesn't have to be this particular beast) would be nice. Heck, even an i9 would be a welcome addition since it currently tops at i7 only.

Yes. I don't do nightly, but weekly. Some changes still trigger long builds that last multiple hours.

I suppose I should've provided more context. My build usually takes a few minutes only during the day, as the changes are small and they are broken into multiple packages / units. Once or twice a week, some changes trigger chain reaction and takes 4+ hours to build. This is painful because it eats up chunk of my productivity. And perhaps once a week, I build from scratch just to prove everything still can be built from scratch.

I wonder how fast I can compile my code base with this. On my hexa-core i7-8850h, it often takes more than 4 hours to build everything in full throttle. And I do this quite often, so pain is definitely present. Given the network and disk i/o aren't the bottleneck, having more than 5 times the cores should theoretically reduce the build time at least by 3 folds, conservatively?

There was a time when I thought China would eventually open up and be more democratic like the rest of the world. I really thought it was inevitable.
