I taught onco research for 6 years (not as a professor, but as a research consultant)… there were professors that would seemingly purposefully give huge and long projects to grad students a few years in and then they ended up not graduating until year 5 or 6.

Employers no longer universally take a college degree as a way to skip ahead in the line of employment. A college degree should basically be a ticket to any job within that degree field. In practice, that’s incredibly unlikely. I started at minimum wage with my first job out of college lmao. My second job netted me like 50¢ more.

The O-Connect software is what’s doing it for me. PC-Tablet-Watch continuity are exactly what I want from my phone, and this is the first manufacturer to get that right. Samsung’s continuity software is semi-locked to their terrible Galaxy Book laptops. I’m very curious to try O-connect out on Linux and MacOS. Unfortunately, Apple just nailed the high-power notebook segment, so I have to keep my M3 Max around until something else beats it in battery and power rankings.

Halloween. I grew up in the Boston area and absolutely loved the seasonal attractions.

The Oneplus 15 is super solid this year as long as you can forgive the subpar camera.

iPhone side, obviously don’t get an air, and just get a pro.

It’s very possible that the new Samsung S phone doesn’t come out until late first quarter next year.

Avoid the pixel because the Tensor G5 is literally half as powerful as the other flagship processors. You won’t feel the pain of how slow it is right away, but a few years from now it’ll be awful.

I’d say we should boycott Toyota, but their 220mi range piece of shit EV with a 9” display for 45k$ pretty much does them in without trying.

Chinese/Japanese characters have kindof always led to good student outcomes in wrote memorization because of the necessity of pattern recognition. With an alphabet there’s simply less to learn, and you don’t have much context since etymology in alphabet based languages is so much more esoteric.

Also, Americans aren’t really taught much about technology from outside of the American sphere of influence. American schooling has a lot of dead zones.

Actually a really cool place to walk around for a day. Buy fireworks then take the NS to Tilburg and get a joint in the same afternoon lol.

You most likely will never earn more than 2 mil in your lifetime. With 2 orders of magnitude and a doubling factor, that’s still not 500M lmao. And just like a car purchase, that’s only for the purchase price, not the upkeep.

You can’t go after the server devs without those streamers publicizing the takedowns. The better choice is to hit streamers then nuke the servers once people forget about the game.

Hi! This was very similar to my situation! Yeah, it took me until my 30s to understand what happened and think of it as abuse. You survived abuse.

So on arch can you choose to run the deb anyway and get updates through the package manager, or is it that only AUR applications are the main application type? Or can you use both?

I have a number of apps that are super small teams/individual made that I can’t expect them to care about the AUR. What do you do in the case that an app developer doesn’t use the AUR?

What are some of your customizations?

you can set it up however you prefer and then combine them in novel ways to solve your tasks more quickly

Can you think of a quick example, out of curiosity?

In the ITG (Dance Dance Revolution) community, a high profile, decade long contributor and tournament organizer was found to be a wife beater. The guy was also a cock, so I’m kinda sad it took his wife to get him kicked out of the scene.

150 mile EPA translates to:

150 miles -> less 5% for EPA overestimate = 143 miles

143 miles -> less 20% because you must not charge past 80% = 115 miles effective range

115 miles towing is 60 miles if you’re lucky.

115 miles of range isn’t a truck, it’s a luxury go kart.

On top of that, just like any other vehicle, you absolutely cannot run it to 0 miles, so 100 miles of effective range? GTFO.

That’s so absolutely absurd it makes other EVs look bad by association.

I’m a native English speaker and I struggle to understand my English/Scottish friends if they’re talking too fast. I’ve watched British TV with subtitles.

Native English speaker here, but spoke French with my father’s family about 1/2 the time: I can read and pronounce Dutch well enough that my Dutch friends understand what I’m saying (we’ve laughed about it a few times when I was unaware of a few of the weird dipthongs they have). I can’t understand nearly anything I’m saying or reading.

French teachers can be a cock sometimes, it’s 100% true. In the end of it, French grammar is far more specific than other languages, so there’s a bit of a need to be persistent and persnickety; native speaking French classes during school are noteworthy for being hard for that reason. They don’t really take the Japanese/Mandarin approach and drill you to death, instead they’ll just kinda mock you for things they think you should know. It’s super important to find a French teacher that will be detail oriented, but not a cock about it.
