The article title and body don't match in the amount of the sale:

sold for US$25

He was later told that Chutou had been sold to a dog meat restaurant for 180 yuan (US$27) and the pet had been eaten.

I mean, not that it's that far off, but seems odd to have an article where the two don't match.

I would guess that when there's a problem, there are a lot of people working concurrently, all of who have access to the data.

I would guess that someone who is responsible for monitoring systems on the ground and isn't at risk of losing oxygen and blacking out and isn't having to get into a spacesuit is probably the principal person involved with assessing the condition of the station in an emergency.

I'd also expect that the person who makes the big calls is on the ground.

It sounds like there is a person aboard the ISS who has ISS command, but normally, it's a person on the ground who makes most of the calls:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commanders_of_the_International_Space_Station

This is a chronological list of commanders of the International Space Station. A pre-decided inhabitant of the ISS assumes command upon departure of the previous commander, at the end of an expedition, in a small hand-over ceremony. Their responsibility is defined by the ISS Code of Conduct, which states that the ISS commander has some authority over the operations of the ISS, but should ultimately defer most decisions to the Flight Director.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_controller#Flight_director

Flight director

Leads the flight control team. Flight has overall operational responsibility for missions and payload operations and for all decisions regarding safe, expedient flight. This person monitors the other flight controllers, remaining in constant verbal communication with them via intercom channels called "loops".

Apparently the (older) Russian modules had been leaking air. The leakage rate was manageable, but the cause of concern was that the total rate of leakage abruptly doubled. Might be that they were worried that there might be some kind of progressive failure occurring.

I just wanna draw some boxes, put some text in them and connect them with lines, ffs.

If I want to do so textually

useful for very large, automatically-laid-out-diagrams, such as those generated automatically

I'll use graphviz.

e.g.

foo.dot:

digraph {
A->B
B->C
B->D
C->A
}

And then:

$ sfdp -Tpng foo.dot >foo.png

produces:

I think that the /r/place-style collaborative pixel art thing is neat.

To be fair, that is explicitly not infinite canvas

it has finite dimensions

but there have been derived programs with infinite bounds that work the same way to do pixel art.

It sounds like the software you're using is intended for some kind of idea organization team stuff, though. For that, it doesn't sound like it's a great paradigm to me, but I also don't spent a lot of time using software of that sort.

I've used visual programming languages. These use flowcharts to represent data flow, are often used for signal processing stuff. Same kind of idea. My general feeling is that that doesn't really scale up to large problems

you wind up wasting way too much time trying to navigate around the thing. It's a quick and intuitive way to view very small things, though it still isn't my preferred approach; I'd rather use text.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I hope I ran the vkgears test correctly?

Yeah, that's fine.

Both of those should be using hardware rendering, at least based on my understanding of the text. You have the name of your video card where "llvmpipe" would show up, right above "64bit", which is what happens on my system when using hardware rendering.

But...for some reason, you're consuming a ton of CPU time when rendering using OpenGL, despite doing hardware rendering. That's not what happens on my system. I don't know what would cause that.

One would want it fixed either way. For Steam, one can force Proton to use OpenGL rather than Vulkan as a Direct3D backend by setting the environment variable PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, which will cause many Windows apps to use OpenGL...but your problem is the opposite. Vulkan looks fine.

thinks

The only thing that comes to mind would be that there's an Nvidia mechanism on systems where you have multiple GPUs

this can happen when you have an integrated on-CPU GPU and a discrete GPU on a laptop, say -- to render on one and then copy to the other. I don't know what text would show up as the renderer in that case, and I don't have Nvidia hardware, much less Nvidia hardware plus an integrated GPU to test. I don't think that that's probably what's going on here, but I don't know what mangohud reports in that case. I would think that mangohud would be smart enough to actually display the renderer being used, but...maybe it's not. But if you want to try it, you could give this a shot. I'm taking a stab in the dark rather than really analyzing it:

$ __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia MANGOHUD_CONFIG=full mangohud glxgears.x86_64-linux-gnu

If the CPU usage when you run the above command goes from ~20% (as is currently the case for glxgears in your above screenshot) to ~4% (as is currently the case for vkgears), that might be what's going on. If it is, then I'd try running your game with the __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia environment variables set. I wouldn't bet much money on it working, but I guess it's not hard to try.

EDIT: If anyone else with an NVidia card wants to run the MANGOHUD_CONFIG=full mangohud glxgears.x86_64-linux-gnu command and report whether their system uses a ton of CPU time on all cores, that'd be a useful data point; I can't, as I don't have the hardware. I guess it's possible that that the CPU usage could be normal

this is going through xwayland, and maybe something there causes that. I don't want to flag it as something abnormal on OP's system if it's not. But it's not the way my AMD system acts.

Trump's strongest support in 2024 wasn't actually in the South.

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/95f42ca4-771c-4a27-b039-969f7ae8160a.jpeg

West Virginia and Wyoming, the two biggest coal producers, were the strongest supporters. There were states in the South that went for Trump, but there's also the Great Plains.

Contrast with, say, the 1920 presidential election, which was clearly a South-vs-rest-of-US result:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone_River

The Blackstone River in the United States is a river that flows through Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It is 48 mi (77 km) long with a drainage area of 475 mi² (1229 km²).[1] It drains into the Seekonk River at Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Its long history of industrial use in the watershed has caused significant pollution, with a 1990 report from the United States Environmental Protection Agency describing it as “the most polluted river in the country because of high concentrations of toxic sediments.”[2]

The Blackstone River has been significantly impacted by industrial activities and resulting pollution since the 18th century. Early industries discharged a variety of pollutants into the river, including dyes from textile mills,heavy metals and solvents from metal and woodworking industries.[10] Metals are still being measured in sediments near and adjacent to the river.[11][12]

https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/4178/7/WP-94-031.pdf

Despite these improvements in wastewater treatment, the condition of the Blackstone River remained deplorable. In 1937, the Massachusetts State Planning Board described the Blackstone as an "industrial river," whose industrial uses were more important than cleaning up its pollution. In 1940, Worcester reached its peak population, 195,000, the only U.S. city of its size not on the ocean or a major waterway. Total wastewater flow from the city was about 125,000 cubic meters per day (33 million gallons per day [mgd]) and comprised virtually all of the upper Blackstone River's low flow. The wastewater included a large volume of industrial wastes, virtually entirely untreated, in addition to the city's sanitary wastes. These industrial operations provided the most enduring legacy of pollution in the river-heavy metals including chromium and mercury from textile dyes and other metals from the wire manufacturing, metal plating, and machining operations.

Oh, great.

It's a steganographic technique used to slowly send messages, a bit or two at a time, from intelligence agencies to their spies. It's typically desirable to send messages in broadcast form to permit the recipient to not be identifiable. As shortwave radio has fallen out of use and thus possessing a receiver for a numbers station has become less innocuous, that channel for broadcast messages has become less desirable. But today, everyone has a smartphone and uses social media. Change a regular message from its normal form just a little, introduce "errors" that actually bear data, and you can send a small amount of data. A bit here, a bit there, triggering assassinations, exfiltrations, activating sleeper agents. Those comma ellipses are your view into the hidden real workings of the world, your glimpse of the levers that shake the world being pulled.

No, his sole audience, the sole group of people who consider his counsel valuable, is the...media classes.

This kind of reminds me of when I see CNN or Fox News with a piece talking acerbically about "the mainstream media".

If you live in a big, brightly lit city and you feel like allergy season just never ends, you might be right: New research shows that light pollution prompts plants to shed pollen longer, increases the growth of notoriously allergenic ragweed and makes our bodies more prone to allergic reactions, from runny noses to asthma.

But on the flip side, there are also going to be fewer trees and other plants in a city. That is, one might have more pollen in a city with a lot of nighttime lighting than one would relative to a less-lit city, but I doubt that one has more pollen in a city than outside cities.

They don’t have the means to produce at scale...steamdeck OLED

They aren't going to be manufacturing it themselves. They'll pay someone else to make it.

And I'd bet that that party isn't limited by their own capacity, but by how many units Valve's ordered, which is going to be limited by how many units that Valve thinks the public will buy at current elevated-by-memory-prices rates.

EDIT: Sounds like their manufacturer is Quanta Computer, in Taiwan.

EDIT2: And they probably aren't constrained by their own capacity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Lam

Quanta designs and manufactures for clients such as Apple Inc., Compaq, Dell, Gateway, BlackBerry Ltd., Hewlett-Packard,[13] Alienware, Cisco Systems, Fujitsu, Gericom, Lenovo, LG, Maxdata, MPC, Sharp Corporation, Siemens, Sony, Sun Microsystems, and Toshiba.[citation needed] It is the largest manufacturer of PC notebooks worldwide[14] and has diversified into servers, storage, and liquid-crystal display terminals.[15]

Keep in mind there are at least two fruits called “huckleberry.” I’m referring to the one that grows wild in Cascadia.

There are various purple things in Vaccinium, and there's something red down in the southeastern US in, IIRC, the Solanum family.

My experience has been that Vaccinium membranaceum is better than Vaccinium ovatum. Unfortunately, Vaccinium membranaceum likes to grow in places that are obnoxious to get to, and hasn't been successfully domesticated.

Wikipedia lists four, not two:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huckleberry

Huckleberry is a name used in North America for several plants in the family Ericaceae, in two closely related genera: Vaccinium and Gaylussacia.

• Cyrilla racemiflora (known as "he-huckleberry" in the family of Cyrillaceae)
• Solanum scabrum, (known as "garden huckleberry" in the family Solanaceae)

EDIT: Apparently the Solanum huckleberry isn't red. Oh, well.
