It's not a lot in absolute numbers, but it probably hides a sizable amount of cases not serious enough to get to poison control.
Sure it's possible— but you do need a mechanism for capturing the update content as well. It's no longer enough to just have an ISO of the disc.

My only real frame of reference on this is the Wii U (https://wiiu.hacks.guide), but for that platform, it's absolutely trivial to either dump them from a console or even pull them directly from the original Nintendo servers (which won't be there forever of course, but you only have to pull them once for the purposes of archival).
You'd probably find a lot to like in the book Lost Connections by Johann Hari. The main thrust is the impact society has had on mental health, in contradiction to the notion that depression is merely a "chemical imbalance".

Quite the opposite: users actively do not want federated systems, as federated systems allow anyone on the internet to spam them. This is why Google Talk stopped supporting federation: 99.9%+ of users never used it to talk outside of Google instances, and 99.9%+ of the inbound messages from the outside world were spam.

I just wanted to be another voice suggesting therapy. I’m Autistic and I know it can be hard to find a professional who ‘gets’ Autism but finding one who did totally changed my life. It’s pretty standard advice to shop around for mental health professionals until you find one that really clicks with you but Autism/possible Autism is definitely an added complication. It really can be worth the effort. I hope things get better for you

Clearly, there's a lot of variation inside a country too. I'm thinking urban vs. rural but you can probably point out more specific ways it differs.

Ham bands are pretty small. Like the two most popular HF bands are only 300-350 kHz and not all of them are allocated for voice.
Are they worth it in terms of "get this cert and you'll be hired"? Almost never, though I think if you get the advanced certs (security, networking) it might open some doors. Those ones are hard! (At least that is what I hear.)

Are they worth it in terms of forcing you to study and learn a broad swath of an important technology ecosystem? Well, would you do it without the cert? You might, but having a test to study for helps focus my efforts. This is the source of most of the value for the associate certs, in my experience. AWS is so sprawling, so even knowing that something exists is valuable. And studying for a cert can force you to learn that.

Are they a differentiator for you? Depends on your experience level, the job type, and the competition.

Context: I taught AWS courses for a while a few years back and held 4 certs at one time. Now I just have one (Solutions Architect, Associate), that I've renewed a couple of times.

Yes, the point isn't that digitization is bad but that the crypto community is mostly full of people that don't really understand what they stand for and why. So whenever I hear things like "crypto is a trustless and distributed platform for democracy" I immediately assume that these people are not really serious about anything. They're just interested in parroting memes from Twitter and Reddit.
I'm not even remotely suicidal, in fact I consider myself very lucky to not really understand it (in most circumstances).

But I do have mental health problems that are nonetheless treatable, but which I did NOT treat until having children. Seeing how obviously unfair my "crazy" was to them as small kids, not to mention the fear of passing some of these traits to them made me finally decide to get my shit together, hard as it was and sometimes still is.

I was initially excited because I think that a DAO for the collaborative generation of, commitment to, and maintenance of constitutions would be a really cool thing. You could cultivate reputation as a mediator, or as the champion of a group with ideological stake in the document, or as an editor. We could explore the space of amendment rules and figure out what practices work and which devolve into flame wars.

That's not this. This is dumb.
I disagree. For me and many people I know, a large part of my “unhappiness” was from obsession with work and work politics and other similar nuisances which led to sometimes unhealthy lifestyle and lack of meaning in life. A kid certainly changed that for me and there is nothing more important in my (and partners) life than spending time with them and making sure I bring the best in myself for the sake of them. In fact a lot of thoughts of self harm I used to have, I think of them largely my responsibility to keep them at bay and gradually they have become foreign to me once I realize it is my duty to keep myself in best shape for the sake of my child. My only regret is delaying having a kid and family.
That said my well paid tech job definitely made it possible not to have to worry about food plans shelter and other basic needs for my child, something that not everyone is privileged to have.
I realise it’s superficial but I took one look at the screenshots of the Snikket iOS client and thought “the person who built this has no concept of spacing, padding or text sizes”. It’s really difficult to want to use a client that looks ugly and this is where so many iOS XMPP clients seem to fall down.
Every Matrix protocol client I've ever tried, including yours, seems to connect to your "strictly optional" centralized directory service. I've never once wanted to use it, and, despite your claims of it being optional, 100% of the times I have logged in to a Matrix instance, via the web or via an app, my computer has talked to your computer.

Something's broken here.

The generous explanation is that it’s just a coincidence that he had handbrake installed.

The malicious explanation is that he intentionally downgraded the video quality with handbrake (or some other means) before handing over the evidence.

No, I mean nanosecond precision real-time systems. Exhibit A: https://github.com/m-labs/artiq

To save some reading, this uses a combination of an FPGA and kernel (which I think is in Rust) to generate a realtime buffer that is programmed using a mix of compiled-realtime python and plain python via a RPC system.
It doesn’t have the tolerances to create bricks that play at all like real Lego, but it’s not that hard to make parts that will snap onto real bricks or to offer studs onto which the real parts can snap.

Would love to see support in your Terraform provider for CF pages - has been an open issue on your Terraform provider since April: https://github.com/cloudflare/terraform-provider-cloudflare/...

For context, our organisation has moved completely to Terraform for all our Cloud components, and not having Terraform support for Cloudflare Pages makes it a no-go. Even our Data Warehouse team has moved completely to Terraform, so something as 'webby' as static site hosting should be a simple use case.
> Therefore encrypted signals won't impact the noise flow for everyone in the band. This would only occur if the operator were using frequency hopping.

While the encrypted transmission will look like a regular digital mode the fact it can't decrypt the decoded symbols means it's effectively noise. Ham bands are for all hams. There are innumerable other ways to have a private conversation with targeted recipients.

> Depending on the technology used in the receiver, this also isn't true. There are numerous techniques to allow for multiple carriers on the same band. CDMA for example would allow for this. It would take some coordination to make sure each carrier is using a different code but should be feasible for amateur radio operators. It all depends on how sophisticated their receiver is.

Ham bands already have de facto CSMA, you wait for open air to transmit.

A 17yo who shot 3 other men (2 dead) with a very large gun, who is claiming self defense, in MN.

I'm not sure how this is somehow less accurate than any other synopsis shrug.
You are making up straw man again. Did I make that claim?

I was simply motivate my work, pointing out it's a problem that the current generation of search engine does not address.

What is "relevance", it is of course a context sensitive question.

You talk as if BM25 is the gold standard when it is not.

The research on this is all over the place. I just read an article that says that BM25 is way worse than alternative language models. You don't have to look far, for example this one that talks about Wand:

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2537734.2537744

You know why I quit academia? It is useless arguments and virtual signalings like these.

I'd rather go out and build a damn thing that people like to use.

I merely pointed out that there's a problem, and I have a solution. I did not claim that my problem and my solution solve all problems. Isn't this obvious?

In my problem, my solution beats Lucene. It's as simple as that.

So if Lucene wants to be this infinitely configurable search library, it would be advisable to offer my solution as an option, or offer an better one that does something similar.

So far I have not seen any takers, only excuses.
The point is that others see that it's there, they can start to take it into account when they develop their solutions.

Of course if there are problems with people depending on not yet final code that seems more of a higher level communication issue than git workflow issue.

Again, if atomic unit of functionality needs huge towers of stacked PRs that indicates that they are not really atomic and the design phase (communication) seems to be missing.

After all the reviewer should know about the design, the HTTP handler + adapter should not be a mystery to the reviewer. And so on...

...

Now, that said, sometimes looking at a big PR as whole takes up less review time than in daily/weekly increments. But if the reviewer only sees the thing late in the dev process plus the design is not agreed upon then that means the developer writes a lot of code that might go straight to /dev/null when the reviewer disagrees with the fundamental design of it.

The assumptions needed for these huge dangling WIP PRs to make sense seem very strange (risky and suboptimal) :o

For the majority of my React projects I just import a single index.scss file in index.ts, and it has all the imports for my /style folder. It's not much different to the old school approach and is pretty pragmatic IMO.

For my last project I went with CSS in JS. It has some shortcomings and I don't think it would work very well if I use a lot of components from NPM, but it was really nice at encapsulating the component to a single file.

I don't think either approach is more or less proper. Inline styles had obvious large shortcomings in 2010, but not so much in the current context of front-end development.
I would rather spend the resources to help that person than enable another sociopathic billionaire, who would be far more dangerous to society.

You used the term "monopoly", which is absurd. It's FOSS for crying out loud. Literally fork it, that's what XEmacs did (which has fallen by the wayside). Sure, you can't get Ubuntu to publish your emacs alternative as if it were GNU Emacs. Boo fucking hoo. The Ubuntu maintainers have too much sense to be talked into doing stupid things by you. But if you build it and develop a community, you can get it published through their package systems just like all the other software out there. You have to do some work to get there, but so did everyone else who has a package in all the Linux distro package management systems.

If you believe that there is a fundamental flaw in the GNU Emacs maintainership and you cannot join them to influence it yourself and you care enough, fork it. Build your own community. Give it its own name (Valmer Emacs, vemacs for short) and get on with it.
There is nothing about eating fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes that goes against our biology.

You can’t offer membership interest to the public unless you are registered with the SEC and in compliance with the states you make your public offering. There are some exceptions to the SEC for limits much lower than the ~$30M raised as of now.

I mean, HandBrake is pretty simple software if you just stick with the defaults.

If someone has access to the inside of your phone, where they can micro-solder a custom chip in, they are capable enough that face-id was never going to slow them down.

If you believe that you are the target of such a threat actor, you probably aren't keeping much on your phone. I would assume that if you are under that kind of threat, you don't keep secrets on a device that isn't airgapped.

I can think of a few reasons to think that's not the case. For one, Rhodopsin isn't really under neurological control, so there's no way for top-down predictions to alter it. For another, what possible benefit would changing your evaluation basis give you? The whole point is that no matter what basis you pick everything works out the same!
Nor can you with crypto. I suggested the path avoiding unnecessary tech, the regulatory requirements apply regardless.

An SEC complaint would likely clear the matter up, if anyone is feeling particularly adventurous.
I'm really confused by this whole article given how DRM is the real barrier to emulation, and Spencer is clearly not advocating less DRM. This comes down to whether there's a profit motive by rights owners in ongoing support of a game. The outcome will be...what we already have. Games that have enough nostalgia power get adapted, like old Nintendo or Square Enix titles.

And sometimes profit motive is not enough. I worked adjacent to the games division at Disney, and in spite of customer appetite for adapting their 16bit classics for new consoles, there was not a lot of internal support for years...simply because no one saw it as a project to build a career on. Until you solve THAT problem, no company will throw more support behind emulation than they already do.

It's a big problem with this case. The judge has admitted that he basically knows nothing about technology, and the lawyers clearly don't know a lot either. The prosecution in particular has made several blatantly false statements about how interpolation works when resizing images, but it's impossible to know if that's due to ignorance or malice. The bigger problem is the judge just accepts these statements without any expert to confirm them. It really feels like there should be a tech expert on standby (one provided by the court, not the prosecution or defense, so generally a neutral party, like other court staff should be).

What really shocked me was the carelessness in handling critical digital evidence in such an important trial - lots of discussion of Airdropping, emailing, Dropboxing, etc. You'd think critical video evidence would be controlled and only played back in an appropriately-vetted player without any software scaling (or at least only with known scaling) on approved devices. Checksums would be checked to ensure videos were unmodified, etc.

Instead, they're using random laptops, Windows Media Player at times, VLC at others, personal phones, 4K TVs that apparently the defense brought in, etc. And none of the lawyers in that courtroom understand that every single one of those can and will affect the way the video is presented.
> DAOs are special because the voting mechanism lets people vote across boarders/jurisdictions etc from their computer... but it also relies on the creators giving the right level of control to the DAO voting.

I wouldn't know what I would need that curtain for. But I am using Olympus cameras which have the strongest sensor cleaning avialable. Olympus also was the first brand to offer sensor cleaning and never gave up their lead.

Yes. Specifically, it has the ability to decrypt commercial encrypted Blu-ray content. How they manage to keep up with updates the publishers put out I don't know, but they've typically got an update to MakeMKV within a few days.
