I'd be curious at the length distribution. I tend to copy search terms (LongJavaClassNameThingy) to find some separate documentation.

I assume what's going on with the subset of high rep people that do a lot of copying is they're doing searches for duplicate posts.

Thanks for your feedback. Are the color-blindness simulators in Firefox devtools good enough to reproduce your experience? Or do you have tools that you'd recommend?
I think copy and pasting code is very useful for a junior developer and nothing to be ashamed of. You will learn by debugging and modifying it.

As a more senior person, I rarely do copy whole snippets. I will look for general inspiration or to confirm my idea and check if there is a better solution. I wont blatantly copy as it rarely fits into my architecture and code style so it is faster to just directly write it how I need it.

They can ban the app from app stores for using any non-system interface to request permissions, like they do for payments.
Nuclear’s problem is not regulation, it’s that it is relatively slow to come online with large upfront investments. It’s simply not well aligned with the current financial world. The “fix” for this within the neoliberal paradigm would be to do the same as with renewables: have the state put long term price guarantees and subsidies for it. Alas, unlike renewables, this doesn’t also create a market for gas producers, so very little chance for it to happen magically if you ask me.
Lets be real. The article was a smear campaign designed to put an incompetent traitor whose gross and continued incompetence had killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and whose continued leadership would have threatened the future of American democracy and many of our lives.

At some point a pretense of neutrality and the lie that both sides of a story are equally credible can become too costly. Everyone in fact has a perspective and twitter isn't a 100% neutral platform. If you don't like it get your own.
> and "node"

“Node-based interface” is common for that kind of UI though, the author didn't invent it. It's a shame that NodeJS chose such a common word as its name, but “node” can't be erased from CS just because NodeJS exists (one would have to remove graph theory, cluster grapes, many UIs concepts [tree UI, nodes UI, ...], many 3D jargon, etc.).
Soft-Launching an AI/ML Product as a Solo Founder
1. web search (google/bing/ddg) - often that will lead to SO, but also turn up some other relevant forums.

2. docs on package X. If I'm reasonably certain a problem is with a specific package, I'll search for a forum or issue tracker (often GitHub) for that package.

3. language-specific community. there are some lang-spec sites/forums that help with the nitty-gritty sometimes that SO and similar sites don't always get (or, more often, SO is out of date but still marked 'best').

That SO often tends to be where you end up doesn't, imo, mean you should always start there. If the same SO links are at the top of many search engines, that's probably a very good indicator, but you almost always need to broaden out when researching.

Both of those are things elected governments can, and maybe should, do.

Bonus points for truncating the password differently in the login form and the password change form. Now you can't login anymore!

A few years ago the local City government in Paris put out some new app to pay for parking. You'd have to create an account and give them your credit card[0]. When I say they had some ridiculous maximum password length, something like 8 characters, I decided that I could actually take the five minutes to pay in person.

I haven't tried the app ever since, so no idea if this crazy limitation is still in effect.

[0] There was no option to give the credit card on each payment, they had to save it on file. Of course, they weren't aware that local banks were rolling out credit cards with changing verification codes, so some cards would've had to be re-entered anyway...

Qualcomm is a direct competitor of NVIDIA (e.g. for automotive and robotics) and an important ARM customer.

Until now the competing products of NVIDIA and Qualcomm differed in NVIDIA having worse CPUs and better GPUs and Qualcomm having better (ARM-designed) CPUs and worse GPUs.

I do not find it believable that in the future NVIDIA would ever provide Qualcomm with better CPUs than those of NVIDIA products.

Given NVIDIA's desire of dominating the datacenters, it is also hard to believe that they will give to all other companies who will attempt to design server CPUs new ARM cores at the same time when they will be available for the internal NVIDIA design teams.

Why did you spend hours digging into something you already knew the answer to?
I have nothing against wearing masks, I have everything against mandates that haven't been shown to be effective.

There's nothing strong about a theory that already has massive amounts of data disproving said theory.

Personally I think our society pretending masks work has done a great disservice to where we could be if we asked ourselves why they aren't working as intended and figured out if there was something we could change to make masks effective and THEN mandate those effective changes.

I don't believe this is an unreasonable position.

Availability is also one of the principal problems with e-Ink, and is directly related to the patent issue. It is next to impossible to source e-Ink displays (even at outrageous prices), or to work with E Ink corporation in any capacity unless you are huge and are in a market they are interested in. Making another generic ebook and can credibly claim that you might sell half a million? Maybe they'll talk to you. Work for Lenovo and want to put an e-Ink layer in a trackpad? "We're not pursuing that market segment at this time." It's not an open market, and they haven't been interested in moving beyond ebook readers for the last decade.

Smaller designers who want access to the technology can't get it from a western company, because none are stupid enough to attempt to design a competitor while E Ink the company is still around to sue them.

Fairly recently we've started to see Chinese electrophoretic displays crop up, and I can actually get a devkit or buy them by the low thousand, because E Ink isn't going to be able to sue them in China. But you still don't see them designed into very many products sold in the west, because it would be easy for E Ink to stop the end product from being sold.

Tools and techniques for home library organization?
How do you catalogue and organize your physical home library?

Do you have any recommendations for tools and/or techniques for managing and organizing a personal library at home (physical books, CDs, DVDs, etc.) Years ago, I used to have a spreadsheet with book information (title, author, year, which shelf/room/box it was stored in, etc) but I haven't maintained it over the years and have moved a few times since.

I would especially like a system that would allow me to easily catalogue and store/archive boxes of books, in case I have to move apartments/houses in the future. Also, ease of updating data would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah. I'd raise an eyebrow at Stack Overflow if they didn't also include Google. Google will get me official API docs, blog posts diving in deep about it, Github issues, as you say, -as well as- anything relevant on Stack Overflow.

Maybe they meant to go -ask- questions? Which...I rarely ever do, despite being in this game for over a decade. The few times no one has asked the question I have, it usually has to do with a library or missing functionality, and that tends to get resolved (at least with an answer of "yeah, that isn't supported") via an email.

Indeed, my work login password, with regular rotation requirements, has been dropping entropy by a few bits each time it comes up for renewal. I work to make my work passwords as different as I can, but that password doesn't get used enough for me to trivially remember it, and it can't be offloaded to a password manager easily.

What is a "justified" killing? Police are not a jury, and they are not executioners. I understand self-defense, but often these claims are made when the other person was a perceived threat and not a demonstrated threat. And that to me is a gaping issue. Police are supposed to be trained in appropriate use of lethal force, and that should mean that they are answering lethal force with lethal force. Not meeting the potential for lethal force with lethal force -- that definition can apply to practically everyone if twisted enough.

And "we" do talk about diabetes, mostly in the form of universal healthcare and drug costs. Why can't people get proper healthcare? Why does insulin cost hundreds of dollars a month?
APS-C sensors are still significantly more expensive than common sensors like the IMX477. Demand would be much lower due to the high price for the sensor and additional cost for lenses and mounting hardware.

RPi foundation isn't really targeted at the niche, high-end, low-volume markets that demand the best of the best. They're great at delivering an excellent compromise of cost and quality. The IMX477 is just right for most use cases.

The sensor alone doesn't deliver 100% of the result of a modern SLR. The image processing code does a lot of heavy lifting that is mostly proprietary. The open source options are improving, but connecting an APS-C sensor to an R-Pi wouldn't automatically give you a DIY SLR competitor.

You'd spend a lot more in the process and get worse results than just buying a commercial SLR camera and running open-source scriptable firmware like Magic Lantern: https://magiclantern.fm/

PriceTable is hosted on Gigalixir. The database is Postgres. Everything is in the same database, but each tenant has its own schema. When a new account/workspace is created, we create a new schema and run a set of migrations on it to create tables, indexes, and so on. From there, each request is routed to that schema using the tenant's prefix.

I think they'll work... Somewhat? As the card is pushed through the face, there's a small amount of spring energy that it stores by bending, which gets released when it makes it through the opening and propels it forward + downwards. Normal gravity just adds to that motion and keeps the flap moving down. Zero g doesn't help as much but the card should already have momentum out of the gate. In zero g the problem may be more dealing with the rebound as the flap hits the bottom of the frame - it may bounce back up and float. May need some dampening or magnetic trick to keep it down...

In any case they probably won't work upside down.

I suspect dealing with this type of person would become a huge issue. This work request hints at overblown entitlement. I've seen these types in action, the relationship between this worker and the manager/other teammates can turn abusive.

There is a lot of whataboutism in society lately. The what about in this case are the many posts claiming the 2016 election was fraudulent, stolen, etc... While I personally understand the differences (the 2016 election really was stolen, but the 2020 election was not), I also understand why others do not agree and instead see both claims of election fraud as sour grapes, consistent with similar claims of election fraud from every close election in American politics in the past century. Dangling chads?
I think approximate location would be a good idea too. I wouldn't remember the last time I logged in to many important services since I do it so often. Relatedly, I have trouble remembering when I paid for so something so just looking at my banking log for fraud requires me to see who the payment actually goes out to.

Lain does seem quaint when viewed today. But, it was thrilling at the time. A frequent theme was hearing background conversations of random users traveling through the wires. The idea of a couple having a fight and breaking up over “The Internet” was still weird. When the series was made, people were just starting to mainstream the practice of having serious personal interaction online and no one knew where it would lead.

Previously you had in-person conversations, letters and phone calls. But, then the whole world quickly ramped up dealing with love, hate, sex and all the depths of humanity through the network. It was a exciting and worrying transition. For me, Lain was there to reflect on a lot of that angst.
Waw, really very good
Not OP, but... more often than I care to admit, past me is perfectly aware of the answer to this problem, but present me has long since forgotten.
Why is it wrong to allege that the election is stolen or fraudulent? The Democrats have done that repeatedly - 2000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_v._Gore), 2004, and 2016 (https://www.allsides.com/blog/past-electoral-college-vote-ob...). They even did it this very election cycle (https://www.npr.org/2021/03/22/980023007/democrats-reviewing...).

It is completely legitimate to challenge election results. It is legal, and a part of our political process. It shouldn't be surprising either - it's hard to trust an election process that made a hasty and unplanned switch to mail-in voting, that altered the rules of the election arbitrarily (example https://www.npr.org/2020/10/19/922411176/supreme-court-rules...), etc. And with Democrats repeatedly pushing back on very reasonable voter ID laws, it seems that one side really does not want to make elections secure and instead leave security gaps open, which fuels those concerns further. We should all want a maximally-secure election process because it is the most fundamental piece of our political system.

Keep in mind, I am saying this as someone who believes that the amount of fraudulence alleged would not alter election outcomes. Regardless, it's important for our political process to play out in a trustworthy, transparent, and censorship-free way. Your phrasing of "violation of the conduct" tries to lend legitimacy to Twitter's actions. In reality Twitter simply engaged in one-sided censorship, basically providing election and campaign help to the Democrats because they (their executives, their employees) are politically biased.
