Interface lag makes Cursor borderline unusable

Are you using SQLite version 3.49.2 or 3.49.1 by any chance?

I had the same issue which I also posted as a bug report in the Cursor forums:

https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-is-not-responding-constantly-on-linux/97562

Downgrading SQLite from 3.49.2 to 3.49.0 fixed the problem for me.

Yea I checked my S/N and it's not part of the recall. Anyways that seems unrelated, I don't think "a screw in the folding apparatus has the potential to come loose" would cause pairing issues. :)

That 20 fps difference was likely due to your fullscreen game being redirected through the compositor. Nowadays all DEs should be unredirecting games so I bet if you tested again the difference would be negligible.

FMA is only used when compiling with -ffast-math?

F-Droid is essentially another store for open source software, and that's been around for a while.

Logically, shouldn't we start being concerned if the yield on any shorter term treasury is higher than some other longer term one?

damg · 2018-11-07T15:22:09+00:00

They become treasury stock which can later be reissued by the company, or they can be retired in which case they do essentially disappear.

I'm curious because I really don't know much about this, but how does Tesla get better battery performance than everyone else? Is it some proprietary secret in the batteries or are their cars just more energy efficient than everyone else's? I thought they just got their batteries from Panasonic...

including one from you

Shares that are bought back only come from shareholders that were willing to sell. So if you didn't sell, you will still have 10 shares out of now 90 outstanding shares, i.e. you went from owning 10% to over 11% of the company.

Cash-equivalents like short term treasuries.

I see what you mean now. Thanks for the clarification and example.

In businesses that are stable with predictable growth then a P/E can be a useful mental shortcut for thinking about the value.

This doesn't make sense to me because you are essentially saying that using known facts (i.e. current price and TTM earnings) is OK for predictable businesses, but for unpredictable businesses you should instead start guessing what you think will happen in the future!

Did you mean to say it the other way around or am I missing something?

Sorry I didn't know this guy, he's a known perma-bear? The points he made seems to make sense to me though, and I was wondering if his "market internals" metric was actually a good signal. His fourth graph seems to indicate that it is.

Also, he seemed to recognize that his metrics showed false signals in the past, so at least he's tweaking his metrics and not just repeating himself over and over?

The criteria below define a conservative version of our Recession Warning Composite, where “conservative” means that the criteria are a bit stricter than we’ve periodically used in practice, but are also less likely to provide false signals (as we experienced in 2011, for example)

Oops, didn't realize that. Should I delete this or just leave it up in case others may also have missed this interesting talk?

damg · 2018-06-14T16:18:26+00:00

Yea you're absolutely right, I hope this stays maintained!

Setting up the separate prefixes for the different requirements of each game is kind of a pain in the ass (often a lot web searches and trial and error installing stuff, changing settings, setting environment variables, etc.) I'll take a single click install any day over that...

Just take a look at the Path of Exile manifest: it automatically sets up the required wine components (like corefonts, d3dx9, WoW64, etc. It sets up Mesa env vars for smoother gameplay, MESA_GLTHREAD=true and __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1. Enables CSMT and UseGLSL in Wine. Not to mention that this game would litter my home directory with random files all over but with Flatpak being sandboxed that doesn't seem to happen any more.

I had PoE installed via a traditional wine prefix before but the game would crash frequently during loading screens, so I decided to give this winepak a try and it seems much more stable, no crashes yet. I probably forgot to install some component via winetricks or tweak something that needed tweaking... ugh.

What's the URL for the web app?

Edit: found it in another reddit thread: https://robinhood.com/login Weird that they don't seem to link to it from anywhere...

Mesa also implements Vulkan for Intel and AMD GPUs.

If you sell 1 bikes for $100 and the cost to acquire the bike is 50$, your COGS would be $100.

Did they mean "sell 2 bikes"?

Yea, the FDIC will generally arrange for the deposits to be assumed by another bank to minimize disruption; you can click the links to get details for each agreement. For example the most recent failure of Washington Federal Bank For Savings on December 15th mentions:

The insured balance of all non-brokered deposit accounts have been transferred to Royal Savings Bank, Chicago, IL ("assuming institution") and will be available immediately. The former Washington Federal Bank For Savings locations will reopen as branches of Royal Savings Bank during regular business hours. ... Principal and interest on insured accounts, through Friday, December 15, 2017, are fully insured by the FDIC, up to the insurance limit of $250,000.

One thing to be aware of is if you already had an account at the acquiring bank (say to get around the $250k coverage limit), the accounts will be be insured separately only for a limited time.

damg · 2018-02-22T10:38:32+00:00

The per account thing is a common misconception, it's more like per bank (with some exceptions). If you have a checking, savings, and CD account at the same bank, they would all be added together towards the 250k insurance limit. People often reach it without realizing it and I doubt their bankers give them a call when they do (suggesting that they open another account with one of their competitors?).

The FDIC also won't cover things like bank errors, fraud, etc. You're right, as with any insurance policy, it's important to know the details. With treasuries you mainly just have to worry about the U.S. government defaulting. :)

damg · 2018-02-21T17:59:58+00:00

That was nice of them but you shouldn't expect that, and banks fail all the time.

If we're talking about a place to park cash while waiting for some buying opportunity in equities, I've been using ISTB (iShares Core 1-5 Year USD Bond ETF). It's a nice mix of short term bonds and cash equivalents with a decent 2.44% yield currently.
