I do feel that selective brute forcing is going to become popular one day or another

e.g. a key with mechanical sections to actuate the pins to specific heights, plus, a very precise rotational sensor (perhaps acoustic sensors too)

but anyways, potential but easily fixable methods: a magnet with enough force to pull the slider would give tension, so just don't make it ferrous

the slider will always get super close to the front of the lock body, could be drilled, even if a stronger steel or the such, and then tension from there. Fixed by not surrounding the last pin with the slider, only needs ~1/4th of the last pin's space at most.

Its a nice solution, very compact overall
The implicit behavior is that using a string moves it into the closure, and does compile even without `move || {...non_copy}` (which surprised even me), whereas using an integer takes a reference, and you have to "slap on `move` to make it work".
At some point 'what-about-ism' must become a good faith comparison.

So you say that depression prevents people from doing anything at all, period. If that's the case then you're spreading misinformation.

Plenty of people who suffer from depression are able to do things.
No, you do not. Copyright protects creative expression. If there is only one way to do something, or only one good way to do something, then there is no creativity and hence no copyright.

In particular an algorithmic concept cannot be copyrighted but a description of an algorithm in code can be. I think that many programmers believe that the algorithm is the copyrightable bit because that is the “hard part” compared to say the variable names and comments which are the easy part. But copyright cares much more about the latter than loops and conditionals, which have much less creative value. Mathematical expressions cannot be copyrighted.
Huh?

We need to both (a) reduce emissions from transport, and (b) reduce emissions from agriculture.

The parent poster was implying (presumably, because my original post was saying “we should do both” in response to a post that said “(a) is irrelevant, only (b) matters”) that anyone not doing (b) was killing the planet, and I’m pointing out here that if that’s true, anyone not doing (a) is also killing the planet.

We need both! It’s not optional! Half these conversations are “ok sure but X is really all that matters!” — and that is completely false.

We need to reduce or eliminate emissions from all sources, full stop.

I believe that the reason that cops/media/politicians are talking about focusing on buildings is because any theories of crime or possible solutions to crime that can be perceived by anybody in a racial way are politically too sensitive to touch.
“Own” as in “not from a grid” not self-manufactured.
My understanding: ebpf runs at connect(2) time, stores metadata in a map; later, an NFQUEUE userspace helper fetches the metadata from the map.
Then we have social justice for fat people, dumb people, lazy people, people with anger problems, people with personality disorders, criminals, and so on. Where do we draw the line?

I argue we don't draw the line at all. Rather, we treat everyone with compassion and respect, and find / judge everyone on their true strengths and weaknesses (vs. those characteristic of whatever group they belong to).

Discrimination is OK when the discriminating trait actually matters - i.e. you wouldn't let an idiot or a hot-headed person control a nuclear warhead or perform brain surgery. Similarly, I have nothing against diversity, but I think portraying people of many ethnicities in a movie whose setting would not have people of all ethnicities is weird and something our current culture gets wrong. But you should not be rude to an idiot or angry person, just like you shouldn't avoid putting ethnic people in general movies (and make sure you actually know your setting, e.g. I recall controversy where black people were in a movie on ancient Greece, but black people actually did exist in Greece at the time).

(Also I still think people who commit crimes and are dangerous should be locked up. The point is they are locked up to protect and deter others and possibly reform them, not just for intrinsic punishment.)

The issue with the current attitude on social justice is that most people don't fall for prejudice or stereotypes, but don't understand why. You don't just avoid stereotypes because they're often wrong (though a lot truly don't line up with statistics), you avoid them because you don't judge people on their surface, people aren't always what they look like, and most people fail at least one stereotype of a group they belong to if not many more. You don't treat someone with respect because they're black or female, you treat them with respect because they're a decent human. Similarly, you don't mistreat someone whose short or fat or even has something wrong with their head which makes them occasionally annoying. But lots of "social justice advocates" don't realize this and hate towards sides which aren't explicitly "protected".

EDIT: There's also the practical situation where you can't save everyone. In that case unfortunately I think whatever disadvantaged or stereotyped groups aren't protected by the current society are out of luck. But while you can't always give everyone tangible aid or a thorough evaluation, you can at least treat everyone with respect and common decency.

While very cool and seemingly well-designed, this seems like a derivative of the lock developed by the YouTuber StuffMadeHere. A little strange to see someone applying for a patent for a version of someone else's design.

I wrote that women’s education is necessary, but not sufficient. All the women in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan can have PhDs, but it is not going to do them much good if the men collectively decide to oppress them.
I would rather let those with the most potential have the best possible opportunities than lower everyone’s standards for special ed students. We can make vocational schools for those that can’t succeed academically, but for those that can we should provide them the best. I’d rather boost up the best than bring everyone down.
In what way? Do people live on huge ranches / estates, walk through large redwood trees, ski down a glacier, watch professional football/hockey/basketball live? Can they hunt, fish, shoot or run into hollywood celebrities?

Can they even buy a house or do they have to settle for an apartment?

Quality of live might be great in Barcelona if you like to drink and eat and want to work less. But Spain is so small comoared to the US. The US has so much more variety.. deserts, tundra, forests, palm trees, rocky mountains, cities..

I know nothing about this project and probably shouldn't comment but from previous logistics projects I've worked on I've learned that maintenance costs from wear and tear all seem to increase non-linearly with mechanical speed. An everyday example is that some buildings choose to run their elevators at slower speeds for this reason, but the speeds of industrial and logistical conveyor belts are carefully chosen with this in mind too. Of course air resistance also goes up non-linearly with speed, and that might be a factor here.
> If a candidate comes in saying certs are "trash" and "pointless" it usually looks less favorable. It signals an unwilling to learn and/or strive for continuous improvement.

Tricky. Politics/societal/economic/etc issues such as this one are very important to be discussed. However, companies are a place for work.

Talking to co-workers can be quite fulfilling and exciting when conversing about engineering, marketing, or other work related subjects you are passionate about. However, anytime politics, etc are brought up I (for one) leave the conversation feeling in a worse state of mind than when I first got into it. That is very unproductive.

For this reason, I believe that the workplace should be left to work related things (including conversations) and anything else should ideally be done out of work. Even if involving the same group of people.

She did return the original immediately. Dell then "experienced shipping delays" sending a replacement for a couple months (locking her out of the ability to just flat out cancel payments), and have now spent half a year refusing to do anything about the replacement also being defective, and insisting she isn't eligible for a refund when she plainly is.
> Regarding the long term relationship, if we move we are going to move as a family (2 kids included :))

Have a plan for covering your family members' health insurance. You can use this website to compare NJ's individual marketplace for health insurance plans here[1].

Get the details of what your partner's employer is offering for health insurance, including what the costs are for each additional member of your family. Find out what the total cost of coverage is for COBRA should your partner be laid off and you want to keep your healthcare coverage. Health insurance rates skyrocket when it comes to covering family members if your employer isn't paying your premiums and deductibles for you. Family plans can have deductibles alone of over $14k every year, with premiums in the thousands of dollars per month.

Once you know the details of the offered plans, use the insurance company's website to see if there are any providers that take the plans in your area, including hospitals and emergency rooms. I say this because even if you have health insurance, that doesn't mean healthcare providers will take it. It's especially important with kids, because if you need to take them to the emergency room, you will be paying a large premium for doing so even if you get little to no care at all. It's very easy to walk away from a emergency room visit with a bill for tens of thousands of dollars for even minor emergencies.

You'll also need separate vision and dental insurance plans.

If you or anyone in your family has disabilities, or are at risk of becoming disabled, really, really consider if you want to leave a place with relatively cheaper and sane healthcare for another place without it. The US is not a kind place for those with disabilities or chronic illness.

And sometimes you need to interact with an OS that uses ASCII for strings, and sometimes one that uses UTF-8, and sometimes one that uses UCS-2, and maybe (if you've been very bad and need to use an IBM Z) to one that uses EBCDIC or something even worse.

C defines a string as just a bunch of bytes that represent some text (no embedded NULLs).

Rust defines a string (in general) as just a bunch of bytes that represent some text in some encoding specified by the specific string type. So even without the stack vs heap distinction you'd still have tons of string types, because there are tons of string encodings.

> At a glance it looks good to me, I can see you made it for audio books.

Thanks for you feedback. Yes, audio books are the main purpose, but it should also work for music and even video in some cases (e.g. mp4).

> Most of my tagging is done for Music. I know it seems fairly out of scope for this project, but do you have any plans to integrate updating tags from online sources eg. MusicBrainz, GoodReads etc.

Yes, I have indeed. Since online resources are sometimes problematic regarding legal issues, I have to further investigate this, but things I plan to implement natively are:
Audible, MusicBrainz, GoodReads, Bookbeat, Librevox, Opf (https://docs.fileformat.com/ebook/opf/), Cue-sheets, OverDrive and more

> I didn't read further enough, I like the custom tagger support. Some curation or perhaps a collection of "official" plugins for popular providers would probably help with adoption.

Yeah that would be awesome... tone is pretty new, but in the long term I plan native C# plugins to support:

- custom taggers
- custom dump (information output)
- custom shell execution (ffmpeg to split, merge and apply filters to audio)

As well as extensive scripting with JavaScript. Let's see how it goes :-)

What also often helps a lot is the

--path-pattern

stuff. You can transfer filenames into tags that way very easily. A "rename" command would help to also rename files by tags.

The following commands are planned on my list:

*dump - show metadata in different formats (done)
*tag - modify metadata by different sources (done)
rename - rename files by tags
split - split a file by chapters
merge - merge multiple files to one with chapters
convert - convert files to other formats keeping metadata
This article is unintentional satire. (Speaking as a balding man)
Yes, I agree. All these kiosks and self checkout machines aren't what I think of when I think robots/automation. More like automating the job to the customer. Its equivalent of saying the software writing has been automated but in reality, its been outsourced to folks to India.

I think this discussion is not a good faith discussion anymore. If you kill someone and no one ever knew including you then law is kind of irrelevant right? A zygote is a human but not all killings of humans are equivalent in the eyes of the law, circumstances are important. That's justice.

> Something as serious as homicide should be codified at the federal level right? Why would you leave something like that for interpretations between states?

Believe it or not, the exact opposite is true: https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.com/resources/state-crimes...

> Christians also believe god created everything including designing humans and their corruption correct?

Genesis 3 describes the origin of sin. God created people with the capacity to sin, He even set up a situation where they had complete agency of choice in the matter which is pretty amazing philosophically with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, we used this agency to choose sin and continue to do so to this day.

'Evil' as it pertains to human sin is a choice to behave contrary to God's will. God gave us the ability to be evil but didn't make us evil. In some sense it's part of the dignity of humankind that we have the capacity to do evil at all, but it is also our fall. With the fall in Genesis 3 we opened a rift between God and humankind, basically we ruined the relationship. We believe Christ gives a way to reconcile the relationship by paying the price for our evil on the cross.
Yes to the principle. But typed dict is useful for more than just "the wire".

There are places where you just dont need the overhead of a class. Yes slotted classes make this much cheaper but so do named tuples.

If the behavior of a thing is to map values then it should stay a dict.

If the behavior is a bag of attributes then yes pick something better.
Yet, techically, different. Each gets a sin of its own.

In the 1850s, I believe there was a serious political party with some concern that Pius IX would use Irish immigrants to dig a tunnel from Rome to Washington and send the Swiss Guards in to take over America.
It does seem extreme but if the product is tasty and there is seemed no cause for concern it could be eaten often which most Americans don't eat lentils daily, cooked, or otherwise. I just stocked up on lentils. They are easy and fast to cook actually. No soaking required. How a lentil product can be processed without cooking is kind of interesting. How can that happen I wonder?

I cross-polinated this story and someone said there is a reddit thread talking about it. So you might be right, this might be something other than undercooked leptin.

"All is fair in Love and War"? The Geneva Convention would like to have a word with you on that. And good luck keeping someone who finds out what you did for love (and if you do, then you deserve each other), but all is definitely fair in lock picking.

Magnets, mallets, plastic pens, soda cans, springs, electric toothbrushes, masking tape, string, cardboard, water, salt water, we have seen it 'all' and the world is full of items that haven't even been tried yet because those all work pretty damned well.
Interesting article. Even though the article mentions NPM as an example it would most likely have to be language agnostic (not sure how) or have a version for each language.

In a sense, this may be the case of improving the Git submodules functionality?
> Facts aren’t physical things

Not true. Facts/information/data doesn’t exist without being represented in the physical world. When you tell somebody a fact, you are taking facts/information/data physically stored in your brain, copying it to a new physical medium (sound waves), and then again copying it to a new physical medium (the other persons brain). What is unique about facts/information/data is that it can be stored/represented in an almost infinite number of ways and that we can copy it from one physical state to another. However it doesn’t exist outside of the physical world. You can’t even think about this without using your physical neutrons to store what you are thinking about.
TFA says “Covid cases are rising again. In the UK, they have broken through the 200,000 infections-a-day threshold for the first time since April.”

You can choose to talk about whatever you want but given the 200k figure and April reference it’s quite obvious that they are talking about the total number of infections in the UK - not just the laboratory-confirmed count.
