I love the experience of firing some adventure games on my Macbook, grabbing the controller and chilling on the sofa.
My xbox one x and a 4k screen in the office room, but I can't be bothered to sit in the chair and wait until everything boots to play for an hour on a Tuesday night.
The video artifacts can make the picture a bit muddy (esp. darker levels or games) but all in all, it runs smoothly, I can't notice any input lag that's longer than on my xbox.
Games start quickly, run smoothly, and there are some bangers that will take me months to exhaust, so I am not that worried about the library.
The issues start when someone in your house starts streaming HD videos, than stuttering begins. I have 100 mbit copper, I am pretty close to google data centers it seems, in Western Europe.
I bought Stadia controller and a few games. The controller feels great and pairs quickly. I mostly game either on my Windows PC through chrome (4k) or my macbook (1080).
> Apple’s chip-development group, led by Johny Srouji, decided to make the switch after Intel’s annual chip performance gains slowed. Apple engineers worried that sticking to Intel’s road map would delay or derail some future Macs, according to people familiar with the effort.
I agree! You know what takes it to the next level? Sticky keys!
Accessibility feature in macos where modal / control keys will "stick" for the next keypress (non-modal / control) and then release.
Double tap will stick it for the duration until the next tap on the same key.
Essentialy, double tap control key and move around with n and p keys, kill with k, move more, yank somewhere else with y. All without touching control! But there's more, you can save the buffer with x followed by s press. It takes a while to get used to but saves you awkward wrist moves. I guess it's closer to modal editing in vi, just not as advanced.
I found that living with a native English speaker in the same house does teach you a lot of intricacies of the language - pronunciation and grammar. However, it's a deep territory of diminishing returns. In Europe, everyone's English is kind of bad (a lot of people are fluent, of course, but almost never above the level you want to reach), so there are not many people to appreciate your fluency. I found it to be more enriching to learn a new language instead, that gives massive appreciation of the languages you already know.
I believe you are correct. I suspect a big part of Apple's increased popularity since moving to x86 has been the ability to run an alternate OS either via dual-boot or in a VM at native speeds. While it was possible to run Windows in a VM back in the PowerPC days, it was sloooow. While switching to ARM would be relatively trivial for Apple's own software and even OS X applications, the downside would be losing easy/performant/power efficient access to non-OS X applications. That said, I expect Apple to make that trade-off sooner rather than later... x86 compatibility isn't nearly as important today as it was 10 or even 5 years ago.
A year or so ago I had an issue with my one year old pair of headphones (QC35 II). They wouldn't turn properly on anymore (light goes on, but no sound).
Reached out to the support. They asked to do basic troubleshooting. After everything failed, they sent a free replacement. They did ask to send the faulty pair back, however. Can't complain about that.
I damaged my shin bones because I was running too much too soon and currently taking 2 months break. Side note, I used to run 20k every week, then stopped.
Be careful of the problem on the opposite side of the spectrum: your body might not be able to keep up with your motivation.
Couch to 5k (a.k.a. C25K) is a popular way to build up slowly and steadily.
Once you're up to running 5k three times a week (which is roughly where the plan leaves you) you can limit both volume and max distance increases to 10% per week.
I used to run 5-6 times a week with a usual volume of 50k/week so adding in another 1-2 gentle 5k recovery jogs to do a minimum of 5k every day wouldn't be difficult at all. But that's an entirely different prospect to just going out and trying to run 5k every day (although some people do exactly this and get away with it) with minimal existing running fitness or conditioning.
In my (totally unprofessional) opinion, C25K progresses too quickly for most people. It think the "None to Run" variant is better (and emphasizes that repeating weeks is normal, and even expected)
Agreed. I joined the military out of HS and got hurt in a car accident. Nothing serious but enough to keep my from PT-ing for a little. They had me do something like C25K as part of rehab -- lots of run a lap, walk a lap, repeat x 10, with increasing amounts of running as I progressed. Worked okay, got back to reasonably fit in a couple of months.
Few years later I'm a softbody IT guy looking to shape up, and decided to follow the reddit C25K sub -- it killed my shins. Bad splints, had to cut out running for a while. I got there eventually but I think 60 minutes of biking or eliptical + leg workouts did more for me than the C25K (as written) did.
None to Run looks great! The slower the progression the better for beginning runners in my (also totally unprofessional) opinion too.
As a general comment, shin splints is the classic beginners too-much-too-soon running injury. Experienced runners get a whole range of other injuries, but rarely shin splints. The only time is after they take a break and try and come back too quickly (notice the pattern).
Yep, with running as an absolute beginner, you really want to start slowly, both in terms of tempo and in terms of distance. The key is regularity and persistence.
By running slowly a lot, your body has time to learn how to run efficiently and safely simply by trial and error. By not overdoing it, you give your body time to recover from any errors made during the "trials", without injury.
Incidentally, lot of slow running is also a great way to build up base endurance, so it is not wasted time, and you will "recoup the investment" later, when you start running longer distances.
Shin splints suck, though. Even experienced runners get them from time to time. Probably best to switch it up a bit, include swimming or bicycle instead of some runs every now and then.
To quote an amazing motivator, Jocko Willink, "Good". Now you have more time to do cycling or strength train or some other exercise instead of running.
That's a fascinating idea, our bodies may not be able to keep up with our motivation. I've been pondering a lot about how our minds can live in a fantasyland of imagination that can hold long runs of time never being put to the test. Physical reality is the great check and test for many things.
I had to stop playing basketball with the guys when my knee couldn't keep up with my joy of playing.
I think this could do more with your running form and listening to your body than your will that kept you going. It might be worth checking out your form with a running coach. Either way, wishing you a speedy recovery.
You can absolutely injure yourself by running too much, even with perfect form, and before you would notice anything is wrong while "listening to your body".
Yeah, people say "listen to your body" like this is simply a settled issue and all you have to do is make a decision to be more responsible. Researchers have barely even begun to properly unpack variations in interoception or RSI susceptibility, let alone the interactions between them.
I think you missed the point. Regardless of if their form was good or bad they ran through the pain. Shin splints and pantar faciticus are really bad to do that with as the recovery takes forever and you just can't do anything during it related to that area.
I think your getting downvoted as you answered x when they were discussing y.
It's near impossible to enter autobahn without a car or other motorized vehicle. I am not sure what kind of road the victim was following but it surely wouldn't compare to autobahn. Was it a highway with free entrance for bicycles and scooters?
There's a couple ways to look at this.
On one hand, there's an anonymous website and hundreds of Twitter bots pushing a story that is demonstratively false (just check public records).
Then, on the other hand, you have Mozilla and the EU (which has access to all European corporate records) vouching for Proton (since they partially fund Proton). We also operate in a highly transparent way, so all information debunking this is actually in public record, details here: https://protonvpn.com/blog/is-protonvpn-trustworthy/
Proton definitely has an office and subsidiary in Vilnius, it's not a secret because it's on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxMz62oHb6K/ The office is inside a 30 storey building, so it is not surprising the address is shared with quite a few other companies. But that doesn't mean Proton on a whole is based in Vilnius.
The people spreading the false information are also falsely implying that Proton's subsidiary controls the Swiss parent company, which is never the case as it's always the other way around (parent controls the subsidiary). And its super easy to disprove because unlike most companies in the VPN space, the directors of Proton's Swiss parent company are in public record, and are all well known people who have been in the public eye for years (e.g. at TED: https://www.ted.com/talks/andy_yen_think_your_email_s_privat...)
Can you explain how Mozilla entering into a partnership is the same as vouching? Did they do any particular vetting or analysis, or was this just a marketing partnership?
Quoting from the blog post:
"We therefore set out to conduct a thorough evaluation of a long list of market-leading VPN services. Our team looked closely at a wide variety of factors, ranging from the design and implementation of each VPN service and its accompanying software, to the security of the vendor’s own network and internal systems. We examined each vendors’ privacy and data retention policies to ensure they logged as little user data as possible. And we considered numerous other factors, including local privacy laws, company track record, transparency, and quality of support."
It was quite intensive, with on site visits to our office in Geneva and discussions with Mozilla technical leadership.
