Like television does, with cuts back and forth on story beats.
"Okay, you guys set to work rooting around for the McGuffin in the library. Meanwhile! Group B, what are you doing?"
Secondarily, encourage (remote) communication if the setting allows it. Give one group a clue that will help the other group, but it must be conveyed.
Objects in LEO fall quickly (months to single-digit years) without station-keeping, mostly from atmospheric drag. Anything we put there wouldn't contribute to a long-term Kessler Syndrome situation. It's geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) we have to worry about, but once you're up that high there's a lot more room for everything.
I've also wanted to do this for a while, but there were always a few too many barriers to actually spin up the project. Here's just a brain dump of things I've seen recently.
vGPUs continue to be behind a license. But there is now vgpu_unlock.
L1T just showed off PCIe "fabric" from Liqid that can switch physical devices between machines.
Turning VMs on and off isn't as slick as either of the above, but that is doable today. You'll just have to build all the switching automation yourself. That could just be a shell script running QEMU/libvirt commands, at a minimum.
Please inform yourself before diminishing others' plights.
Diarrhoea that is characteristic of coeliac disease is chronic, sometimes pale, of large volume, and abnormally foul in odor. Abdominal pain, cramping, bloating with abdominal distension (thought to be the result of fermentative production of bowel gas), and mouth ulcers[35] may be present.
Coeliac disease leads to an increased risk of both adenocarcinoma and lymphoma of the small bowel
Long-standing and untreated disease may lead to other complications, such as ulcerative jejunitis (ulcer formation of the small bowel) and stricturing (narrowing as a result of scarring with obstruction of the bowel).
Fortunately Gaben has only a minor interest in Volvo 😉.
But actually his son is involved in the games industry, and there's plenty of other like-minded people at Valve. Hopefully the (far) future of Valve is as bright as its present.
There are a lot of analogies but they all fail in some way. I think PBS Spacetime does the best in general, with good graphics to back up the words.
My layman's explanation is probably all stuff you've heard before. Massive objects "warp" spacetime and things that get stuck in those "wells" eventually fall to the bottom due to drag (from a variety of sources).
You've also probably seen the rubber sheet with a bowling ball in the middle used to represent that warping. To visualize that in 3D, I like to imagine a 3D grid of nodes and edges (like a jungle gym of joints and bars) where the whole thing is flexed inward towards a center point. More warped near the center, less warped further out. That kind of conveys the acceleration from gravity felt by things around that center mass.
You've gotten some good answers already but I'd like to stress a point I haven't seen mentioned: It's easiest to make friends during downtime. By which I mean, time you spend with another person doing nothing in particular. Shared activities are not bad, but if they are too engaging (work, sport, even worship) there isn't time to get bored and find entertainment in conversation, wherein you can discover shared interests and build comeraderie.
You'll find a lot of Americans formed their closest friendships while in school (usually high school or college). I argue that's because there is a ton of downtime with your peers in those environments. Try to find similar environments where you are effectively "stuck" with a peer for an hour or more at a time. Hiking clubs are fantastic. Beginner art classes. Book clubs.
Beyond that, don't be discouraged. Some people will have a hard time getting over their own inhibitions about exposing themselves to new people. And many casual friends will fall by the wayside along the way. That is okay. The ones you keep will be worth it in the end.
They ask a bit of trust on that, but their FAQ also has an appeal to reason:
I have privacy concerns over linking my search queries with my credit card. Why should I trust you?
We do not log search queries. Queries you type are never associated with your account. The simple reason is we don't have any reason to do so, as it would only be a liability for us. We are in the business of selling search results, not user data.
(For the record, I use Kagi)
Sync can now open lemmy links from the top 50 instances
This is appreciated.
I wish there were a way to add to the list of supported URLs as a user. Looks like that would be an Android enhancement.
Is there any mechanism in Android's intent-handling to make this more flexible today or are we stuck for now?
YouTube is in an advantaged position relative to other sites because they directly serve the ads from the same servers that serve the content. That's why DNS blocking doesn't work.
It would take more effort than they currently put in but they could track each user-session closely enough to require that the ad stream complete before the content stream is served.
If that happens, I think the next step in ad blocking would be to accept the ad stream but hide it from the user. Let it play silently in the background if necessary.
That'd mean accepting the extra data transfer but still avoiding the psychic damage.
This almost certainly doesn't help you, but I do this kind of interactive-computing-in-a-consistent-interface with Emacs.
Emacs has modes (think, extensions) to do all those things and more.
It can also be a global application (/arbitrary function) launcher as demonstrated in this post.
The only problem is you have to give Emacs your heart, or it won't work.
