To add to the other comment, package managers keep a local copy of the list of available packages and the version. When you do a pacman -S xxx the package manager looks up xxx in the cache and downloads the package from whatever mirror youre using as well as any dependencies, looking them up in the same way from your cache. This works for a while even if theres a new update available because mirrors usually keep a few previous versions.

Once you do a pacman -Sy you update your cache to the latest one. If you then update xxx, it will update xxx and pull in any dependency updates required, but any other packages that depended on the same packages dont get updated, leaving you in a partially upgraded state.

They got that wrong too if i’m reading the race classification right. He was 17 seconds off the leader. -10s would have put him 6th

I dont understand. The additional experiment data is fairly convincing, but the random data example doesnt seem to disprove the effect in itself. With random data you are going to get a predicted score of 50 for every group, which is what is shown, but this seems to still indicate that, if this is really what people predicted, that low skill people are overestimating their ability. Obviously random data would exhibit the effect; why should it not?

Edit: i think i get it. The random data doesnt show that the low performers dont underestimate and the high performers dont overestimate on average, but this is the natural result if everyone has no idea how they performed. Thus my question above is exactly what they are trying to say; if everyone predicts randomly (everyone equally bad at predicting) the effect arises. So there might be no relashionship between performance prediction and performance

In general I agree with the point the post makes, but the referenced article doesn’t say that at all. Almost all of the article talks about how people do this because its fashionable

What do you mean by unranked? Because it doesn’t maintain its own database, just proxies other search engines and aggregates them

Furthermore, priv.au seems to include only Google in its default search engines so its really just Google through a proxy. Good for privacy but doesn’t really help you get away from big tech

Could you theoretically do actual research on new techniques for doing ancient things? Like if in the comic the man actually did find a way to use copper and it was realistic for stone-age people

So ive been meaning to watch Her for a long time and this is the post that finally got me to do it and what a fucking incredible movie it is. Its such a beautiful, quiet film, and the music is great and the acting is superb. So thanks op

Oh, I completely agree that they should be at the bottom. I think this design would be amazing if they moved the refresh and back/forward to the bottom

Theres only so much space. You would need a whole extra row

Slick tyres are harder to drive in wet conditions than tyres designed to be driven in wet conditions? Who couldve predicted this

Clearly they meant Sanders

Why is mint even recommended to new users at this point. Cinnamon is nowhere near Gnome or Plasma and both of these provide much simpler and more unified experience in things like settings

I wonder which one they’re eying? /s

Replacing Russel seems like a mistake considering that would mean they have no drivers with Mercedes experience around and considering his recent form

The kernel module is ddcci-driver-linux

This is the Reddit post I read. It links to a Hacker News forum post as well that discusses it. Really it shouldn’t be much of a problem unless you’re using dynamic brightness that is overzealous

It is also possible to make the monitor brightness show up as a normal system setting by using a kernel module. The other thing I read when I did this is that monitor flash memory that stores the settings, like brightness, is often particularly bad, having only 1000s of cycles. If you do use this, just keep that in mind

Edit: i checked again and 1000s of cycles is low. 100s of 1000s is more reasonable, but could still be reached fairly easily within the monitors lifespan if frequently adjusting

Is it still gonna be super slow because you can’t reclock or is that fixed now?
