I also have done a lot of reading, as a lot of my friends tell me running is bad for your knees. As far as my reading of data goes, there is practically no amount of "bad running"... unless your body says "stop" and you keep going.
Should I be climbing stairs instead? I never climb stairs near me, I would have to literally go out of my way to find some. (Full disclosure, I sit for work, except for when I was teaching, so I run to try to make up for it. I still do not feel very healthy as I run for say an hour, then sit for like eight, or ten.... "sitting is the new smoking" is not helping).
This is kind of a deal for me too... Well, you did not cook the food or bring it to me (some places, you order first at the cashier (no actual waitress) and they then bring it to your table but you get no service (e.g. get up and get your own condiments, etc, this is a trend where I live)), but I am to leave a tip... Hrm, will this influence the cook?
I think it is more agitating when it is a service that really does not "need" a tip. I called in an order, I walked up to the counter (its a lunch counter, everyone calls it in), and the checkout display puts up a tip amount (usually large amounts like 15, 20 or 25 percent). Well, uh, you cooked it, I thought that was included in the price. After all the cashier just reaches behind them and grabs the bag with my name. Very strange proposition. Is the cashier working for peanuts and this is their wage, or is the store taking it, or perhaps the cook? Who knows...
I still find this site terribly useful, and parse through distros probably once a month. https://distrowatch.com/
Funny, the more I manage my team, the more I think I should not have moved into management, and want to go back to helping people use HPC as a computational scientist / sysadmin. Sure seems like it is really hard to get a job in HPC (as a manager wanting to go back to HPC, non-managemnt). Handed out so many resumes, so many interviews "so... tell us again why you want to go back to (this HPC job) and not be an HPC manager."
I hope all who go to Denver have a good time, and learn a lot.
Well, that is well on your single data point, here is mine: I live in a bad weather prone area of the united states. I do not know _anyone_ that does _not_ have a meaningful amount of cash in the house for bad weather. Yes, stores here operate with low/no power or communications and use cash. I agree with the poster who noted that it provides a localized resilience. It is your fault, not anyone else's, that you do not have some currency.
Truth be told, I have kept about a weeks worth of spending in cash for decades in the house, just in case, and I have indeed had to use it during long term power outages. Heck, in my area just last week, all of my banks ATMs were down for the entire week due to a software issue after an upgrade (I am not making this up). While I might not have needed cash, it shows the fragility of our systems we rely on.

When times were really, really bad at the uni, talking about furloughing employees, closing down schools, etc, I bumped into him:
Hey fred what's up? How is it going there in the football stadium?
"Eh fine..."
Yeah, times are rough here, we can not purchase pencils or toilet paper. Scared for our jobs.
"what!?! The football / athletics department has so much money, I am practically burning it just to get rid of it"
Yeah, I hate colleges. If their goal was to win games, I would understand. Uh-oh, I was missing the point of college... dang.
No offense (well ok, when you say that you are about to offend), but I almost spit out my coffee laughing at that statement. You know, the _young_ people I was talking too.. because, well, I am so _OLD_ at 25.
Damn. I wonder what you tell your therapist at 50? That you are ancient?
And I still have no idea what the game looks like, as the other poster said, why no in game shots?

Which has an amazing title.
I wonder if there is a list, not on twitter, about what precisely was removed instead of just a twitter blurb. Ops! <esc>:%s/twitter/x/g

There are a LOT of niche forums out there that are not FB/Discord, and keeping track of them is a pain. I do wish newsgroups were still a thing for hobbies.
Original accepted upvoted to +20 answer: "Take Y and drive it into X, grep output for Z and place in AZ for processing with the -kombucha switch"
Answer posted yesterday by "NewUserXX123", a first post: "Take A and drive it into B, grep output for C and place it in DD for processing with the -kombucha switch"
It gets pretty tiring responding with a custom comment and downvoting, only to have "NewUserXX123" then cuss you out in a DM about how you are a total @!#$%()&!@$%.
I can tell you that I quit in the last 6 months. All new answers are answers on questions from first time posters, answering questions that have good solid answers from 8+ years ago (mostly 10 years), and it is pretty obvious, they are just doing it to get points. The question/answer is not something that has changed in the last 8+ years, they are just doing it to get reputation or whatever.
Most good solid questions...I just do not see too many today. I am not saying this is the reason for the decline, but there is a deluge of posts answering very old questions with a slight modification of an old answer. I quit putting effort into it, as it was just non-productive.
As an aside, I have the spool of the original Lunar Lander for a PDP9 (or 11, but I think 9)... at one time there was a forum and they told me that some people would purchase / take it, as I did not want to chunk it, and I just do not want to hang on to one more thing for life... but I lost that forum/bookmarks in the midst of a computer crash. I wonder if anyone is still interested in that kind of stuff, as I thought MAME etal made that kind of collecting less desirable.
Funny, I think I recall finding the hyperphysics using altavista.
On the other hand, the LV / Veritas bench vices are supposed to be top notch.
In my UNIX circles that I run around in, no one talks about FreeBSD. Honestly asking (yes, I guess I did not read the article) is most of its success on the commercial side? I think it is used in NAS boxes and routers/switches a lot, right?
If anyone is interested, I would check out not only the new HHBKB, but mechanical keyboards also, the ones you build or have someone build. The amount of programming and customization you can do on them is insane.
I moved from HHKB to a 40%, for two reasons: 1) the mouse is incredibly close to the keyboard. It is close with the HHKB, but you can save even more time with a 40%. 2) You can literally reach every single key without moving your hands at all.
I now have three or four of them, one permanently at each computer and at my work desk.
Example, google certainly indexes search fast. I have googled a product posted 10 mins ago in a very low-key specialized audio forum that is really not popular, and bam, google is liking to the post.
OK, so if google is training bard in real time, could it not encounter the classic text book example of training on future data? e.g. we talk about it, or what it might or might not do in HN, Twit, (God help us some meta-universe), or elsewhere, and it is training on that as factual input? What then? Tail wagging the dog? What mechanisms are in place to make that be noise and not facts, I wonder.
I know I want to _acutally_ drive that thing. All misspelliinngs aside, it does seem like a reasonable car at a reasonable price.
