Jim Crow.

The south still has similar voting restrictions, it’s just the supreme court stopped caring and said ‘sure, whatevs’.

Intel has excellent transcode, even in their igpus.

I use an arc750 specifically for transcode, av1 runs at ludicrous speeds, but don’t do an Nvidia, they kind of suck because they dont support vaapi, only nvenc/nvdec and vdpau.

Electoral college is weird AF

https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Madison/01-10-02-0065

It was just added because it was the only way to launder slave votes for slave states, if you did it 1 vote per person then who got to choose who the slaves voted for?

We need to fix it, but there’s no way in hell they’ll give up their most precious possession, no matter how wrong it is.

My home is more of a democracy than a dictatorship.

Oh, now you’ve done it, you’ve pissed off the tankies.

Yeah, none of this sounds like a recipe for anything except fire.

It won’t work, it will try, then inspect the battery for its voltage and other stats via i2c, decide the battery is unsafe, and shut itself off.

I might be wrong, but systems I’ve worked with do this because they want to make sure the battery won’t explode, they have a battery management chip, either on the motherboard or in the battery, and this tells it whether the battery is safe to use or you should shut down, and if it can’t communicate it will probably assume it should shut down.

Personally I’d solder a new barrel connector on, or figure out where the dc-dc converter is and either replace it or backfeed.

They’re not committing genocide, they’re technically committing ethnic cleansing.

Read the definitions.

That’s absolutely the opposite of what it says.

It says the states, specifically, must have armed citizens to prevent a tyrannical federal government:

. It is, therefore, with the most evident propriety, that the plan of the convention proposes to empower the Union "to provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, RESERVING TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY THE APPOINTMENT OF THE OFFICERS, AND THE AUTHORITY OF TRAINING THE MILITIA ACCORDING TO THE DISCIPLINE PRESCRIBED BY CONGRESS.‘’

By keeping the army, or ‘militia’ under the sole control of the states, it guaranteed the states were never disarmed and could effectively resist or even attempt secession if they saw fit. Which, in fact, was later tried.

Until the 14th amendment incorporated the bill of rights, the 2nd amendment only applied to the federal government, and in fact strict gun laws and bans were common throughout the 18th century.

Did that a few times, the difficulty is keeping it up to date with new releases or distro hopping, I just git clone my environment with a bin path and distro specific environment variables.

Fyi /usr/local/bin is for system wide applications, freebsd and it’s friends use it for non-core software installs.

Unix has had a long running convention of separation between “operating system” and other files, so you can blow away something like /opt or /home without making your system unbeatable.

If you stick stuff under /usr/bin then you have to track the files especially if there are any conflicts.

Best to just add another path, I use ~/bin because it’s easy to get to and it’s a symlink from the git repo that holds my portable environment, just clone it and run a script and I’m home.

Yousa in deep doo-doo now!

I’m sure they have a process to do that, it was drilled into us that there were regulations and procedures they had to respect for each country.

While I marginally trust them now, I wouldn’t trust them to the indefinite future, desperate MBAs are capable of anything.

So, I’ve had it not work before, usually for odd reasons. One thing to try is to delete the other partition, then apply, then try to move it.

Resize/move is finicky though.

Right click, resize/move.

Whoops, thanks my bad.

This has been a problem forever, the googleization of CS where everything is assumed to scale to gigabytes and therefore all that matters is big-O.

In systems that’s meaningless, what really matters is memory locality, loop placement, caching/lookaside and other features.

The JDk is an excellent example of both large scale and small scale optimization, the GC systems and much of the low-level features like locking use microoptimizations while the higher order data structure features use algorithmic optimizations.

Riscv qemu, it’s great and surprisingly fast nowadays.

If you get good you can adjust the hardware as you go too.

Also, you can back up your dB to encrypted json and restore it later.

You can say a lot of shit about intel, but sometimes they do hardware support in linux very well.
