I'm not a natalist, but let's be real: the number if deaths caused by gun violence miniscule relative to the entire population. That said, 6 out of every 100000 kids die of firearm injuries and is the leading cause of death in children. Gun control is something that need to be improved in the country for sure. I'm just not sure it is a significant threat to "Clara." A much bigger threat, imo, is the state of education and reliability of information today.

OK, but being a victim doesn't make you immune to this categorization. A victim of sexual abuse who rapes someone is still a rapist. Someone who was persecuted for their race who then persecutes others for their race is still a racist. Victims don't get a "Get Out of Jail" card.

I don't think engineers need encouragement to be cynical. More often engineers need to lighten up.

Not exactly easy to immigrate to, as you can see from the comment about CRS scores

This question is asked as if there is an obvious destination. Where do I move? Europe/UK isn't exactly killing it lately, so that's out. That leaves Australia and NZ for English-speajing countries, but I know nothing about them. I could move to Japan since I know some Japanese, but the Japanese are not well-known to be accepting of foreigners. The PM is literally trying to limit immigration. So where should I be moving as an American?

I personally love Killer7, but I won't pretend that most people would enjoy it. However the soundtrack is great.

But then that's not evolution?

Think that sounds far-fetched? Evolution figured it out with single-cell organisms 2 billion years ago, and they haven't faltered since.

The "brain" that is in these robots is incredibly simple and does not have the capability to learn. While it feels like tech is breaking boundaries every day, having any serious amount of computational power that simulates learning at this small of a scale is incredibly far off. The fear mongering is not necessary.

Implement a CPU, then a GPU, then start designing weirder, domain-specific architectures.

I mean, I like Longlegs, even though a lot of people were upset by the 3rd act. I think this movie is outside of that "guilty pleasure" area. The Monkey knows what it is and does it well.

 

Anyone have recommendations for hardware to run Moonlight on a 4K TV? I want to play games on my PC, but I don't want to isolate myself in the office. I imagine a mini-PC would be more appropriate than something like a RPi, but does anyone have specific recs? I have never really bought a device like this. My laptop is not suited for the task so "use an old laptop" isn't a good rec for me really. And yes this relevant to linux since the server and client will be running linux. ;)

 

I spend a lot of time creating system diagrams for presentations. I always use Inkscape to draw these diagrams. However I ran into a scenario where I wanted to animate them. The animations I'm looking for are dead simple. I want to be able to fade in, fade out, and slide basic shapes. The way I worked around it this time was by using PowerPoint. However, is there an FOSS alternative I could use? I would probably need to also export the animation into a gif or some other platform agnostic format. Bonus points for something that can use the images I draw in Inkscape.

 

I'm using a Fellow Stag and a metal V60 with a fabric filter. I do a 1:16 ratio (16g of coffee and 256g of water). Generally I'll place the V60 on the Stag while it brings the water up to a boil in order to heat it up. Then I'll saturate the fabric filter with the hot water. I'll use 212F water, but after pouring the water over the grounds, my instant read thermometer will read 195F. It seems weird that despite doing everything in my power to preheat all the equipment, the water drops a lot in temperature as soon as it hits the grounds. Any tips to tackle this problem?
