Is this comment missing a /s? The Daily Wire is actual fake news, with a long track record of misinformation and poor quality content[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]... While not perfect, NYT has a long track record of quality journalism that goes back hundreds of years, winning 130 Pulitzer Prizes.

> Chickens are very good reactors for turning carbohydrates into protein.

The remnant wiring from my chemistry and biology classes tells me this is impossible. Did a little digging and no animal seems capable of this feat.[1] Chickens are fed a mix of cheap grains, like wheat and corn that are ~16% protein.[2] What they are is efficient at turning this protein into body mass/eggs.

> searches like news articles and published research.

Google does not censor real news articles. Nor legit research AFAICT. A quick Bing and DDG search along with browsing of the Wikipedia article on this topic[1] yielded nothing major.

If you want to "research" on how Sandy Hook school shooting was a false flag, that California wildfires were set by Jewish space lasers, or other the QAnon conspiracies, yeah Google sucks. But if you are doing actual research for work or school, neither DDG nor Bing come close. I used DDG heavily when I was in China, and it was garbage for work.

After living China, I am well aware how horrible censorship is to democracy. But you know what's worse? How Facebook's algorithms have radicalized our country. Most members of my family (our country for that matter) get their news from Facebook, much if it is the most extreme garage to keep engagement numbers high, not good journalism based on facts.

I'm fairly certain page rank demotes this garbage because it’s poor quality, not as a service to our society. But as long as Facebook/OANN continue to profit off of tearing our society apart, it's probably a good thing. Of course, teaching critical thinking in school would negate this problem, but that’s a too much to ask from a culture that puts more value in sports than education.

Are you sure? Modern clang and gcc both have auto-vectorizers. clang's is enabled by default.[1] gcc requires '-ftree-vectorize'[2]. For my use case, I've seen the most improvements with clang + openmp + polly, requiring code changes along with hinting. Good news if your analysis is correct.

As far as the article, I'm surprised Cache and Meshlets are 5% slower in 11 than 2.7. Some insight could be gained as to what caused this regression.

> the creepy neighbor kid to do something on my guest network that will get me a visit from the cops

Think about it. Honestly, what are the odds of that? I'm sure the last time I got in my car (to get a coffee) it was 100x more risky than that (actually it was snowing, make it 1000x). And so what? They show up, I'd tell pull open their phones and connect to my network. I did nothing wrong, have at it wasting my tax dollars. After all is said and done in that 1-in-a-million incident, still less of my life wasted with than if I bothered with annoying WiFi passwords over these decades.

Your comment reminds me of my friends and family who keep their kids locked up (pre-COVID), depriving them of the opportunity to learn independence that I had growing up. Just like when I was a kid, there is no crime in my neighbor and yet people act like their kid will have a 10% chance of being kidnapped if they let him go to the local convenience store, when in reality the odds are closer to 1 in 100 million. Social media or local news has screwed up our society's ability to calculate risk/rewards.

> I have a sign at my front door with the QR code

Why not just have an open WiFi network? I stubbornly have kept my network open since my very first Linksys WRT54G router. Am I some kind of internet hippy for feeling like networks should be open and we'd all be better off if we shared with our neighbors? Over the years, I've probably wasted an hours of my life searching for and struggling to correctly enter complex WiFi passwords.

Although truth be told, I think it's primarily that I don't want to bothered giving WiFi passwords to my guests:)

Since quarantine life, I've been cooking multiple times a day. My oven's self-clean makes my pans look exactly like new. Takes all of the black off leaving them with a shiny, silvery shine. I then have to season them to regain a nonstick coating as good as any Ceramic/Teflon pan that I've used.

As far soap. My experience is that it definitely damages the nonstick coating, depending on how much you use. You can get by with a soapy sponge, but putting detergent directly on it and the nonstick coating will be lost.

The best way to avoid need to avoid soap or scrubbing and re-seasoning is to put hot water in the pan while it's still hot and scrape. Meat is the worst for leaving a coating and this technique removes 99% of it.(If not blackened use that water for a delicious sauce with all the best flavors of your cooking). This routine allows me to use the same pan for months without a deep cleaning.

I have tried to put cold oil on after heaving soaping, but I'm not happy with the pan until I season it with high heat. The only reason I'd do it for rust and still would pan on seasoning it properly later.

Yeah, I encountered this. Repurposed my Netgear WNR1000 v2 with OpenWrt to act as a bridge to connect wired devices to my network. While it has served this role flawlessly for 5+ years, it's frozen in time running an old kernel. The write-up as to why they had to drop support is a good read. [1]

Nice false equivalence. Judges have ruled that Trump's side has failed to show any evidence of fraud in Court, losing 50/51 court cases, with the "win" having nothing to do with fraud[1]. On the other hand, there are literally thousand of pages from the Senate Committee on Intelligence showing evidence of Russian Interference in 2016. [2] [3], along with the Mueller Report [4]. Russian Interference in 2016 is not comparable to Trump's false claims of fraud in 2020.

> purebred or "designer breed" dogs, and they've all lead shorter lives with more diseases

Absolutely, this is also true. But in my case, I’ve never owned and now avoid AKC purebreds like the plague. Currently I have a long-coat non-AKC GS with 25% Malamute mix. AKC and their sire syndrome has destroyed the breed with Hip dysplasia and other issues. Their obsession with artificial looks and willful ignorance of genetics has completely turned me off.

Also can't compare a 50lbs dog to 80-100 lbs GSD. Smaller breeds on average live longer. We had a 10 lbs coton de teuer live to 20 which is not that uncommon for the breed.

From my grandparent to me, there has always been German Shepherds in our family. Starting the 80's all of our dogs started dying much earlier, ~6-7 of cancer. In the early 2000's, we switched to raw diet from premium store bought kibble to raw. Sure enough, not only did their coat improve not a single cancer death under age of 13. I know it's anecdotal, but in my dog world circle and family, we've all observed similar results.

It's a cruel that our best friends and most loyal companions live such short lives as it is. Giving them top nutrition is a small price for the added years.

As to how this applies to humans? If you want to live a long and healthy life: avoid processed foods.

Your source, Bill Binney, is not credible. For example he claims he can "prove" Russia did not hack the DNC in 2016.[1] His claims are easily debunked by anyone with basic networking experience.[2]

I HATE thin bezels. I actually returned my Galaxy S10 because palm-misclicks dove me crazy. After 19 days of practice and different grips, random clicks didn't get any better.

Thanks for the explanations. Very interesting. Please add it to the README.md or the GitHub Wiki if you want to go into much more detail. Thanks!

This may be true, but /u/Judgmentality just described to a T the one self-described audiophile that I am friends with.

T9 was amazing. Any upcoming human interface industrial engineer ought to study it. When driving or in class, I used to regularly send SMS messages without looking at my phone’s screen. It was THE biggest thing I missed when I got my first iPhone 3G.

Only recently have Google's and Apple's TTS come close to matching it. Occasionally I still miss T9 like when in a movie theater where I can't speak to type and don't want to look at my screen.

Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging for Pidgin[1] provides this and hides the complexity from the user. Sadly, all of my Google Talk, AIM, QQ, and MSN contacts have moved to proprietary platforms like whatsapp, skype, and facebook.

I miss the days of 1 messaging platform for all my work and personal chatting. For a solid decade Gaim/Pidgin handled all of this for me.

PFAS are found in the blood of every human on this planet. Google "sources of PFAS" and you'll learn Teflon products are a primary source.

For example[1]

To that list, I'd add:

* Qt is a pure joy to work with compared to every other cross platform widget toolkit out there.

Over the years, I've worked with gtk 2, gtk 3, Tk, wxWidgets, SWT along with proprietary toolkits like MFC and Cocoa. Qt stands above them all in terms of ease of use and quality of output(among the cross platform).

Putting the LTS as your first bullet makes no sense to me. Developers are not cheap. Qt does not owe companies the engineering resources to support and maintain an LTS product. All of their code is still open source and development in the open, working with their community. (I've personally found the paid developers very responsive to issues I've raised.) So if Companies aren't paying for Qt, who should? If that minor change helps keep Qt alive, I'm all for it.

I have a T430 at home that runs FreeBSD that acts as a spare PC/browser/home media server. I never have to screw around with anything. FreeBSD has come a long, long way.

If I gave you a new Mac or PC, you could spend hours "screwing around" with it tweaking and customizing it, Linux even more so. If you absolutely need 802.11ac, then FreeBSD is not the right OS for T480s. But how many people actually require that speed?

Couldn't the same be said of any modern CPU short of the Java processors that have mostly failed?

> a supervisory/executive

Yes this is how it is for me. I can eat the bagel without consulting him, but he speaks out the words of this post that I'm writing or any email/report. When I'm on autopilot like driving or playing a game/sport I don't hear him. But if I want to think about plotting a different route or a changing in strategy, the voice will talk me through it.

The Seth Rich conspiracy theory[1] has no factual basis in reality. It's a political smear to muddy the waters most likely started by Russian propagandists as cover to their hacking in our 2016 elections.

> green-screen text causes eye strain,

You have any data to back that up? My favorite color scheme is green-on-black, followed by white-on-green. I find white and blue backgrounds the worst for eye strain. Low brightness with high contrast seems to be another important factor to reduce strain.

I found that too as the article linked raised more questions that it answered. I was like "how can I be reading this if it's not using DNS?" And from the link this explanation:

> It updates a dnslink pointer at Cloudflare, which allows Cloudflare's DNS to direct teetotality.blog HTTP traffic to the correct IPFS hash address via their IPFS Gateway. So even though you've (probably) reached this page through a regular old HTTP link that uses the teetotality.blog host name, there is in fact no server with that name - the content is stored on various IPFS nodes, including but not limited to Cloudflare's edge caches.

million? There are over 100 trillion neural connections in the human brain. And look up artificial vs biological neuron. With sheer number and added complexity of biological neurons, there's likely not enough atoms in the Universe to provide enough ink and paper to run this simulation.

Also, you run into the problem of time slices. One step in a simulation of my brain is not conscious. There must be some self-reference going on in there that give us this illusion over time that I doubt a pen and paper model could capture.

I'm of the school of thought that a turing machine, let alone pen and paper, might not even be capable of this simulation. For example, it's possible that there are quantum effects going on in biological neurons that touring machines are not equipped to simulate.

I too prefer the purple + green lasers over the cold blue. AFAIK, the best you are going to get is the version they show off on the page like W10_Process_Beauty_r2.

I only dug into this because people were raving about it. Never played D&D, but it did remind me of those text adventure games I played as a kid.

When humans play D&D as the game progresses, are the rules of the world that people establish supposed to be internally consistent and is there a planned plot arc? Can you say there's no gravity and then later drop your sword?
