the S&P has averaged 10-12% return per year for over 60 years. So that, in itself, is not an indication of impending doom.

There’s no way to be viable against a heavily government-subsidized competitor who operates in a country with little to no labor, environmental, or safety regulation.

Attended the Dalton, Georgia hamfest today! Anyone else? Snag any great deals?

I came home with a well-used Astron RS-35A, which I realize now is emitting a strong cigarette tar odor :(

Overall, lots of vendors. Some pretty good deals and giveaways, and only a few “random cable drawer junk” / “army clothing” type sellers.

Would recommend.

Next up: Atlanta Hamfest on June 1 at Jim Miller park in Marietta.

yes, it looks at a fine-grained clock, usually a cycle counter provided by the CPU for this purpose, to aggregate total on-cpu time for each process.

I think a lot of modern kernels are “tickless” - they don’t use a timeslice timer, and only context switch on IO interrupt, process yield, or when timeouts are specifically requested (including capping cpu-bound processes). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickless_kernel

I think they limit your total ammo inventory in some Nordic country. You have to bring back casings to buy more ammo - solves two problems.

Probably dedicated vector/tensor coprocessors these days - which don’t have to work with your monitor layout or desktop setup!

Now I think my client (Memmy) is wonky too, because it can’t follow any of these links! Will try the web UI.

Ah, I read the requestor as wanting to disallow body text.

More policy and culture than implementation. Rarely see pages of links to mass media sites on your average phpBB, though.

I have thought for a while that the next “reddit” should be usenet with a client having advanced filtering, local scoring, etc. Maybe where the client reports to/reads from a shared spam database.

I dont mean a chat/conversation-specific community, I mean a collection of communities that are more people interacting than links being posted.

Especially for hobby, parenting, philosophy, politics, technical discussions, etc.

It seems like any platform that features link aggregation is soon overrun by bots and self-promoters trying to drive traffic, and pages and pages of link posts versus pages and pages of people talking.

Are there any lemmy instances or other defederated networks that focus on Q&A, niche communities, and people conversing, instead?

Plant- or algae- derived oils may work better. The key is to not extract hundreds of billions of tons of hydrocarbons that have been sequestered for 100 million years.
