Twitch embeds ads directly into the stream now. They’re next to impossible to block now, though I’ve heard some people say it’s still possible.

Human capital is the most expensive direct cost of business. Reducing it as much as possible is the goal of any business.

Why is the IDF still relying on bombing and artillery strike to stop Hamas if it’s proven it causes such high civilian casualties?

You’re funded and supplied by the largest military industrial complex in the world and its allies and you’re telling me you can’t get troops on the ground to rescue hostages?

It almost seems intentional at this point and if they keep this up, between them blowing the shit out of Gaza and Hamas executing/torturing hostages, there won’t be anyone left to rescue.

I remember when Chrome released and it was a hot mess performance wise. I haven’t used it since and it doesn’t seem like I’m missing anything.

Latest season broke EAC on Linux. The devs are actively working on fixing it.

It’ll never be in the play store either because the play store terms of service forbids apps that interfere with Googles revenue streams.

It sounds like you’d be better off with a DE or WM that isn’t gnome. The GNOME Project has been progressively sticking more and more of the customization features of the DE behind either gnome tweaks or the command line, likely to unify the experience for all users and improve the ability to provide support.

Personally, as far as gnome-based DEs are concerned, I prefer cinnamon, but I’m fine running Mint to just have it come pre-installed. I don’t know what dependencies it pulls in now if you install it standalone from Mint.

Here I am wishing I still lived with my mother. I’ve had nothing but problems since moving out on my own. Hopefully things get better some day.

Besides myself, I have two other friends that also stopped at a Masters or dropped down to a Masters for similar reasons.

Publish or perish.

Academic publishing is in a very weird place and is very, very political. Its true that authors have to pay to have their papers published in most journals or conferences after they’ve been accepted, but like all things academic, this is highly dependent on the field. Some universities will reimburse professors publishing costs, others need to pay out of pocket or with grant/public funding.

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs, I would wager that most well known researchers would avoid such avenues of publication due to prestige. The larger journals and conferences have review boards where the top scientists in the world sit on them. As a potential published author with such an outlet, its a great honor to even be considered. Most researchers don’t want to take the risk of going with a less prestigious outlet if it will run the risk of smearing their image or damaging their ability to publish in better outlets in the future.

I find syntax wise, Rust is very closely bordering on esoteric. My employer is currently considering switching to Rust and I can say working in a department with a bunch of Data Scientists with varying degrees of programming experience and capability, this switch, if it happens, will probably be poorly received.

Average Bethesda enjoyer.
