> When you reach mastery you will usually end up breaking most rules.
This is so true, and expands wildly beyond the area of mastery. I was in the fortunate position to be able to spend days with numerous world class piano masters, both during rehearsals, dinner & regular daily activities and was always impressed with their "breaking of rules" both on and off stage. Some do this completely natural (Lazar Berman, who picked his performance piano within one minute "You have to understand, picking out a piano is like picking out a partner, you feel within seconds if you like her or not." ) with others it felt more like an act (not going to write her name, but she insisted to have a friend turn the sheet music, who was not able to read music and thus was either too slow or fast and she had to swiftly flip to the correct pages while performing...).
The more mechanical piano players where never really my thing. I love the players with their own style and interpretations & personal particularities (Lazar Berman again: Bring me to some cheap shops, I get tired of all the fancy places people take me all the time."). Critics are often not so much into that, however. So the number of "rule breakers" was always limited to a maximum of something like 20%.
Based on the same thing happening in my family, this morning I came to the conclusion that I would pay for my wedding video (1990) to be upscaled just to rejuvenate the interest of my kids in said video.
The thing with "modern" quality is that it distracts so much less that it becomes far easier to consummate. And that does not just apply to young kids but to me as well.
I think it depends on your experience. I’m old enough to remember my 12 inch B&W TV and broadcast analog NTSC being normal, with 483 lines of resolution.
So I don’t mind the old stuff, it does not distract me at all.
But I can understand that if you only experience 1080P and above your whole life, 483 lines in b&w is distracting.
Which show did your children gravitate to that’s been colorized/upscale? I want to see if it has the same effect.
The observed behavior on my Pixel is that it generates a new, random MAC whenever you connect to a new network. It reuses that MAC for that network going forward. It does not ever use the "real" MAC unless you specifically select that in the settings.
Exactly this. You can not "force" these sessions, they happen to happen, or not. It takes (a lot of open mic) time to get these things rolling.
It is a number game: more contact, more bouncing.
For about 5 years I ran a worldwide (FPS) tournament with a couple of friends. We never met AFK. It had to work online, or it would not work at all.
This is one reason I always ask potential employees if they encage in online communities. I find it a tremendous plus if people are able to collaborate with "strangers" and without financial dependencies.
Do you have any nuggets of wisdom on coordinating large projects entirely online? Me and my friend still struggles to make significant progress all too often as life stuff comes in once in a while which leads to months-long pauses.
This could be: We like to work on this and there is no deadline.
Or: Forget the details of this exquisite item, but focus on getting it working on date X.
I would not mind the perceived lack of progress in your case but see the journey as the goal. Spending quality time with a friend is about as good as it gets (until there are bills to pay, then make sure you can pay the bills first).
You mean, like many (non-US) governments, (the US) healthcare requires the use of the PDF/A-1a? It's just a somewhat bizarre contraposition: "Like many animals, Helianthus annuus needs water to survive". Wait, but it's a plant, right? "Yes, and it needs water, just like animals".
I leave my phone at home, or off when I want to, but the single biggest improvement of privacy and peace comes from "downtime" (iOS > settings > Screentime > Downtime). From 20:00 till 06:00 I will not receive any messages from apps.
On top of that "do not disturb" (iOS > settings > Do not disturb) hits at 20:00 and ends at 07:00 where no one can call me (except for those who are in my favourites).
For those as oblivious to +0000 as I am, and wondering if that is GMT or UTC:
- GMT is a time zone officially used in some European and African countries. The time can be displayed using both the 24-hour format (0 - 24) or the 12-hour format (1 - 12 am/pm).
- UTC is not a time zone, but a time standard that is the basis for civil time and time zones worldwide. This means that no country or territory officially uses UTC as a local time.
From the blog I get the impression Geoff is not "raise a question as to what is happening here" about HE's 97%, but more about all the others with >0% & <97%.
Would you care to enlighten us with what you are implying?
If I'm grokking correctly, the poster is asserting that there are ISP shenanigans going on due to the fact that measurements aren't coming in in a binary nature. Either you support QNAME minimization, or you don't. If you support it, but someone else in the recursive resolution chain doesn't, that would explain <100% measurements, since they pass on more info than they should be, and in theory there may be temporary reentrant loops due to poorly managed BGP, which results in unminimized DNS queries being visible to the measurer somehow.
The poster seems to think Century Link is involved in a fundamental way. Which admittedly, given their track record with hosing large swathes of the Internet these last couple years may not be unreasonable.
