I always like seeing scientific research that benefits or confirms techniques used for cooking. Anecdotally, I started using RDT a couple months ago and it has completely solved my grinder’s static issues. 2-3 spritz of water from a cheap glass spray bottle and my static issues were gone. I single dose and occasionally a wet bean or two will get stuck in the hopper but that’s a minor issue compared to staticky grounds going everywhere and sticking to everything.
Once x86 macOS became stable around snow leopard I switched from Linux to macOS full time on my mobile machines. For years home brew was a shining light to get a decent tool chain installed to be able to do development. But somewhere around the time they changed to naming macOS releases after places in California, both home brew and macOS started changing in ways that made it harder to maintain a stable development environment. Why and when did it start deciding to upgrade every package I have installed when I try to install a new package? It regularly broke both mine and our developers’ machines and I finally had enough of both. Stay away from home brew if you want your working development environment to continue working 6 months later. It WILL break when you need it most and cost you hours if not days of work to fix. I’ve never ran home brew on Linux but it’s honestly not anything I would ever consider even when it worked well.
I’ll take the downvotes as a sign that I am an out of touch millennial when it comes to present day F1. Don’t worry, I’ve already unsubscribed, I’m done. But for a moment, imagine a sport that was the true pinnacle of Motorsport. There is a “formula” for the car. For example, it has to be open wheel, it can produce X amount of horsepower or KWh, open cockpit but you keep the halo or anything else for safety, it has to fit within these limits for minimum and maximum length and width, and there are a whole list of specific restrictions to prevent expensive loopholes previously found in the rule set that led to meaningless arms races for tenths of a second. But otherwise you let teams go wild. Maybe a budget cap, but why not turbo charged V-6’s against naturally aspirated V-10’s against electric motors all producing the same amount of energy? Make it a true engineering sport where the top automotive engineers in the world along with the top drivers in the world try to produce the fastest car within the formula. Make the formula able to be broadly interpreted to encourage real innovation and each year reevaluate the rules allowing the participants to vote equally to encourage more equitable competition from year to year and to discourage expense explosion. As the costs for new technology comes down, re-evaluate whether it should be reintroduced or whatever. You know what fans want to see? Top drivers racing in the same car on their favorite tracks. You know what makes good, natural, relatable, exciting drama? Engineers, drivers, professionals operating at their peak. The rules should encourage that, and if the owners want to spice up the “show”, why not also support the classic tracks that fans love by having extra spec races on Saturdays? It can carry points, but make it actually exciting to watch instead of a mediocre repeat of what we are going to see on Sunday. This shit is just off the top of my head by a disaffected fan for the last decade that can come up with better ideas to improve the sport while I am half drunk and high than the owners that have turned it into little more than professional wrestling for billionaires, oligarchs, and authoritarians. I guess it’s always been that, but damn, at least it used to be more entertaining.
So awesome having qualifying on a Friday while people are working. Thank you Liberty Media for ruining F1. I used to watch every minute of every session, preseason testing when they bother to film it, follow off season rumors, you name it since 2011. This year I promised myself I was done with F1 but have mostly followed qualifying results and even watched a few first laps and final laps. But there’s been what? One race worth watching this season. I bet everyone subscribed here can name it. Maybe this is what people want, the viewership numbers and money seems to be pointing to so, but the sport has left me behind at some point in the past five years.
I’ve been waiting for a ryzen framework laptop since spring 2021. I’m in batch 1 and can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’m sure they will have these BIOS/firmware issues sorted out by launch, and I’ve been waiting this long so a couple more weeks isn’t that big of a deal.
I’ll trust the nuclear scientists that say that the release is safe, but there should be a transparent international panel, including China which has concerns about the release into fishing waters, that is given access to conduct their own tests with all parties agreeing to release their findings.
My current car is an ‘07 Yaris too. It’s also totally bare bones including manual windows and locks and no cruise control (the only feature I sometimes wish it had). It’s economical and much funner to try drive than most bigger cars, trucks, and SUVs. And on multiple occasions I have been able to parallel park it in tight spots that cars in front of me had to pass on.
Depending on the block size the filesystem may not be able to use that 4.01Mb of unallocated space. There’s always wasted space with any file system because they have to make a trade off between making use of the available space and fast access.
I don’t think you can extend a partition at the beginning, only the end of the partition. This is because the partition header and table is written at the beginning of the partition (i.e. the file system needs to know where to start reading so that it can traverse files and directories in the partition). To support resizing a partition at the beginning data would have to be moved to the new beginning of the partition, and exactly which data needs to be copied differs from file system to file system so it’s not something supported by a partition manager such as KDE partition manager. Therefore, the only way to do what you want is to backup the partition, delete it, and create a new partition at the beginning of the drive and the restore the contents of the partition.
Extending a partition at the end is much simpler, basically some header just gets updated and says this is the new end of the partition, and then a file system specific command lets the files system know that you now have all of this free space available for use.

Yay! Western nations will get to send arms to Nazis while enriching defense contractors for years to come!
Earlier in the day, bloc member London said the G7 was expected on Wednesday to agree to a “significant international framework for Ukraine’s long-term security,” which would “set out how allies will support Ukraine over the coming years to end the war and deter and respond to any future attack.”
The Group of Seven wealthy nations on Wednesday revealed a long-term security framework for Ukraine, saying it will seek to implement a reform agenda to help provide Kyiv with “the good governance necessary to advance towards its Euro-Atlantic aspirations.”
Move along, no imperialism or neo-colonialism going on here.
The level of violence has always been determined by those in power.
