The cross range capability was supposedly also intended for military reconnaissance missions. Back then film cameras were still used. So they wanted to be able to launch from California into a polar orbit, make a single pass over the USSR, and land back at the launch site for immediate film processing. Of course they never actually flew such a mission.

I'm not really 10/10 on anything, but Krita is excellent. The only thing that bothers me about it is the text tool.
Yes, that statement by itself is a bit extreme, however I believe the person on twitter was combining it with the other aspects.

I did find that, at least for South Koreans, they sometimes use "Okay" in a way that would be considered non-standard by Westerners (I have no experience with North Koreans). Often times they would use "okay" more as a check or confirmation that something was heard, than an agreement. So someone saying "okay" to you could mean that they acknowledge that they heard you, rather than them agreeing with your statement. Thus, it seems like the Twitter poster was pointing out that non-standard usage and correlating it with his Korean experience.
Just to clarify, private sellers couldn't perform a NICS check even if they wanted to. There were some proposals to open the system up to regular people (kind of akin to my understanding of how Switzerland does BG checks), but they never passed.

Anyways, it's kind of a moot point in California because that's a felony here.

How to you approach asymmetrical learning?

My son is almost four, and has had some trouble communicating ( speech delay, some consonants not coming out in some words he "learned" earlier ) but he's all-in on bike riding ( pedals since he turned 3, no training wheels ever ) and he loves gardening with us ( can identify most plants in our garden and genuinely helps on good days -- ask him to pick the ( blueberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, borage, chamomile, calendula ) and you'll get what you asked for ).

I'm not worried about his development, but I want to brace for school where I'm sure some things will be challenging and others won't challenge him. I know my motivation in school dropped off some when that sense of having to wait for my classmates crept in. How do I keep him engaged on the things that he needs to work on, and celebrate his successes in the things that are easy?

It sounds like you are saying Stallman is supposed to be the more desirable boss. Is that really what you meant? If so, then I would pick a different public figure for your example. I have first hand experience with this, and, lol.
I think the difference is having a network. A soft introduction, even from an acquaintance, is much more likely to get you an interview. It doesn't get you the job, you need to do well on the interview and appeal more than the other candidates, but you get the classic "foot in the door." Without that, it is a crap shoot. Another approach to the same thing is a professional middle-man, such as a recruiting agency.

Writers can do whatever they want, sure, but actions which make their intention harder to parse also make it harder to engage with their work. Since writers who publish to the public want others to read their work, it becomes their responsibility in a capacity to write in a way that makes their intended message comprehensible.

Said another way, there is no law that forces me to write in English. I could interleave uncommon French and German across this comment (borrowing terms from other languages is nothing new!).

But if I flexed language proficiency without regard to which words are commonly known, it may make my comment less accessible, and therefore you may choose not to engage with what I'm saying or respond. That might not be a problem for me, but regardless the decision is my responsibility.

The responsibility for clarity does not come from someone else - it is an extension of the decision to publish.

This does extend to prose and poetry by the way. Both are written to conventions within the disciplines and follow patterns. Those patterns are very different to ordinary speech but they are certainly there, and readers judge writers on those merits.

It isn't to say a writer is lesser as a person for writing out of convention, but the convention provides a framework to interpret the art. If the convention isn't broken for a meaningful reason, it can detract from the wider message.
There was error checking, but not security. Each bit was expanded to a 5-bit sequence, so bit errors could be detected. The message started with a 3-bit vehicle address, so separate messages could be delivered to the Command Module and the Lunar Module.

For the range safety officer's destruct control, NASA did use cryptographic security because they wanted to make sure the Russians couldn't blow up the spacecraft. This was an entirely separate system. The control unit used a secret plug that encoded the "key", that was installed just before launch so nobody could spoof the command.

>And what percent of users use iCal, carddav and imap?

Thunderbird users? I'd say ~100% of them use imap, probably ~75% of them use calendaring. I don't know whether Thunderbird uses ical or imap-type calendars behind the scenes but it works with gmail, zimbra and apple type shared/hosted calendars which account for basically ~100% of the non-exchange type calendars in common use. It probably supports exchange-type calendars too though I've never tried that.

I'd wager less than ~2% of TB users use a non-slack non-discord non-irc chat.

Desktop Linux fundamentally can never solve this problem. All of the packaging alternatives of alternatives have created a mess and confusion around which distro can open what and not only these alternatives even work out of the box, there is no guarantee that all Linux distros will be supported for that.

At most it is a 'solution' creating a new problem; whist still looking for a problem to solve.

I mean, incompetent management may have allowed the situation to persist. But your wife "working" 2.5 jobs for (presumably) the expected hours of just one of those jobs can't be blamed on management. She chose to accept all 3 of those positions with the knowledge that she wouldn't meet the conditions of employ.

The article said, with this feature enabled, Firefox removes query parameter "fbclid" even on example.com domain.

So if you happened to use the same query parameter the popular web sites are using for the tracking, you will have a problem.

Also, web sites can counter react by changing the name of query parameter, or just generate random names and treats unknown query parameter as a tracking parameter.

I don't understand the kind of people who, on the one hand, hate tracking parameter so much want to let browser remove it, but on the other hand, still continues to use such a web service. Just don't use such a web service. I don't.

Where did I say they were criminals? The FTC doesn't think so.

But there are important differences between scam calls and money transfer. The most obvious one is that big mobile companies don't profit significantly from scam calls. Another is that the big mobile companies are working quite aggressively to keep dubious callers off their networks.

Consider, on the other hand, that assorted fly-by-night telecoms providers are scammer-friendly, in the same way that a small number of network providers are friendly to spam, child porn, and other criminal activity. Those people are, in the FTC's phrasing, turning a blind eye. I'd be fine with that being made illegal in the same way it's illegal to fence stolen goods.
That doesn't even make any sense. Tesla doesn't even sell any CyberTrucks right now, so even if they lost all their pre orders it wouldn't affect revenue now. Ford and Rivian aren't even making vehicles in any sort of volume to be even a minor rival.

And why do you think that orders are falling off of a cliff exactly?

Tesla has grown incredibly fast, they have 100k employees, they have a terrific balance sheet and are at no risk of bankruptcy.

For the last 10 years people seem to always lay out this awful scenario for Tesla, meanwhile they are growing in sales incredibly quickly, literally the quickest ever.
So Tesla's $750 million dollar state funded factory in Buffalo, which was supposed to produce solar panels as Solar City, then solar roofs as Tesla, instead employs unskilled data labeling workers.

Recently NY state sold off all the solar panel equipment, and Panasonic pulled out of the partnership. Tesla hired minimum wage data taggers to avoid fines under the job creation agreement.

One of the worst public subsidy scams in state history if you ask me, alongside Scott Walker's Foxconn giveaway in Wisconsin. I wish state governments would collectively agree to stop falling for this.

The equivalent would be for Thunderbird to link a .zip file for windows users, which is actually a pretty damn common way to distribute software (or at least it use to be) so that you don't need to be an admin to use it, and would have the exact same feature of having random dynamic libraries and stuff like that sitting in the folder.
The cases are so contrived they do not happen. Just think of the situation he's proposing: your neighbour who you apparently trust enough to give a loaded gun too, to potentially kill a person with, does not have a gun themselves but apparently is completely capable of using it?

And you know, this problem has to be solved right now: too much of an imposition to look out for them while they go and buy a gun from one of the numerous gun stores - but giving away a loaded gun, that's what you want to do (no one would do this in this scenario).

"Then just get your dream job; god, it's not that hard!"

I invite you to search developer jobs in a large (3 million+) metro area that is not San Francisco, Seattle, or New York. Developer jobs you will find:

- Shitty ad-tech company

- Knockoff ad-tech

- Shitty, knockoff ad-tech

- Fintech, but shitty

- Fintech, but even shittier

- Fintech, but actually a scam

- Fin-ad-tech

- Fintech for dogs

- Adtech for dogs

- Giant telecom where you will be put in a prison of a narrowly defined role where shitty developers go to slowly die

- Remote office of a FAANG where you can be put in a prison of a narrowly defined role doing shitty ad-tech to help an evil psychopathic hundred-billionaire get even more of a death grip on all aspects of our lives, but at least you're paid well

- (Rarely) Internal developer for a company that is actually doing something useful and interesting, but where you'll end up maintaining a shitty out-of-support enterprise system built on a base platform that does nothing where the real business logic is all embedded in their inner-platform key-value tables by engineering interns.

"What changed? The most compelling theory holds that a mixture of rapid inflation and generous federal-tax policy encouraged homeowners to treat their house as an investment, providing a strong incentive to oppose new construction."

This is the reason existing home-owners oppose building apartments and townhouses nearby. High-density housing lowers the value of their home, which costs them money. It also tends to increase crime rates. It's difficult to persuade a home-owner that they should give up some of their home's value just so that others can benefit from a larger supply of affordable housing. What does the homeowner have to gain other than thanks?
It seems to me that the article is mostly talking about outreach to someone that you're trying to get in touch with, who has little or no official obligation to get back to you (barring the example w/the busy friend). If that's the case, and I'm the person asking for their time because they're providing value to me, then I think it makes complete sense that the onus is on me to try to get their attention. They are not assholes for ignoring someone that they have no obligation to respond to.
> Here's the original one in all its Roland MT-32 glory

I've done transcriptions of the MIDI data included in the game for a few of my favorite themes:

https://musescore.com/user/36584999/scores/6891053 (opening theme)

https://musescore.com/user/36584999/scores/7810499 (ghost ship)

https://musescore.com/user/36584999/scores/7725812 (LeChuck)

MI2 and CMI feature the LeChuck theme, a little bit, but for some reason they've made it quiet and slow. In the original game, it's a high-energy, in-your-face evil theme rather than trying to be a subtle background element. I hope that will be true again in RMI...
The data includes judges, police officers, and correctional officers. There's even a special column to identify them. The data also includes mental health information for people whose CCWs and RAWs were rejected (as well as physical health information for people who died during the application process, but maybe that's considered public knowledge)
Does it have a footer? If they put all the footer information on the top I really like the setup on this site. Infinite scroll works really well in this situation?
I would hazard a guess that many users on this forum are really only familiar with macOS and a smattering of CLI magical invocations.

Package managers exist for a reason. Flatpack, snap etc all exist. You can't just hand wave real complexity away by yelling "usability!" without having fiat power over an incredibly diverse ecosystem.

The lowest common denominator for installing software on Linux distributions is well below what an incurious user will put up with. If you don't want to understand that kind of low level tinkering, you have to wait for whatever ecosystem you bought into to catch up.

That might mean moving back to Apple's curated experience. That's fine; so long as Linux itself isn't a curated walled garden, it'll never be as seamless in every instance, and that's not for everyone.
I took some tips from a book titled How to talk so kids will listen and listen so kids will talk - they suggest to try to help kids label their emotions, and then reaffirm those emotions are valid (even if they can't get what they want). They have various kid-friendly techniques for this in the book, one that worked for a couple of the worst tantrums I had to defuse is getting them to draw a picture of how mad they are.
> I wouldn't have minded another 2D game but I do have to say the action scenes in the video look much better than they would have been in 2D.

But... it is another 2D game. Those action scenes are being rendered in 2D. There isn't a scene in the video where e.g. the camera angle changes. It all appears to be sprites against backgrounds.

> Nobody knows for sure how the chips will fall

We pretty much do know how things will work out, actually. That's why people made these laws.

The laws were made to force Apple, and similar, to open up their app stores.

And if Apple doesn't follow the law, then they will be fined billions of dollars. Because that's why they made these laws in the first place.

You saying that people don't know, is cope on your part, because you can't handled that Apple lost, and cannot win against governments.
Not arguing with the general point, just to clarify: neither slides nor barrels are regulated and both are not considered as guns (unlike frames). And on top of this barrels are consumables. I think stronger point would be that there is a hidden plates in plastic frames somewhere (i knew that there is one for scanning purposes, but the commenter bellow mentioned that they are serialized as well).
I would agree with that for dev positions. But when I was hiring PMs, these types of questions were actually a key part of the interview. The particulars of the answers mattered a lot less than the fact they did _some_ research, and formed a limited mental model of business from which we could discuss different scenarios, tradeoffs, pivots, features, etc ... Major bonus points for them basically turning the tables around and interviewing/grilling me on how we were going tackle "recent announcement from competitor" or "trend in market" and asking good followup questions to dig into how that could relate to what impact they could have.
Delta Lake 2.0.0 Preview
The Supreme Court recently forced California and 9 other states to loosen up CCW rules and there's probably going to be a large increase in applications. Doxxing people with CCWs will have a chilling effect and prevent at least some people from going through the process.

Edit: something else I just thought of. Gun-owning judges are explicitly called out in the spreadsheet. Gun-owning judges are also probably less likely to agree with Attorney General Bonta when he's in court. Is it possible that those judges will have to recuse themselves in cases involving Bonta?
Stablecoins on crypto rails are the much more likely solution. There's networks like Polygon Nightfall or Aztec Network that are private, cheap, secured by Ethereum, and allow sending stablecoins (so any fiat currency).

I can imagine these being integrated everywhere in the future. Stripe has started to get into Ethereum connectivity lately to make it easy to add them to any website. Many other payment providers and websites will follow because it's permissionless.

Please cite a source that confirms your claim, rather than stating it as a fact without evidence. You may be right, but I have no way of confirming that given the content of your comment.

> How does private gun ownership check the government?

It raises the stakes for oppression. How would Hong Kong look right now if the population were lightly armed? Instead of a civilian police force repressing millions the Chinese military would have had to occupy its own territory. That has political and international consequences.

I believe in gun regulation. But I recognise the civic core of the opposition’s argument.
An interesting thought experiment. Are there vibrations on our throats or is it all taking place hidden inside our bodies?
I'd say that RF stuff is pretty much mysterious so I generally avoid it. For instance, part of the Apollo stuff had a frequency multiplier. We opened it up and it was essentially an empty box with adjustable pegs inside. I don't want to deal with that sort of magic nonsense :-)

Another hard part is things that are encased in epoxy or welded shut. In this case I used X-rays but its generally a problem.

Overall, the main secret of reverse engineering old stuff is to spend way more time on it than an sensible person would.
> Will desktop Linux ever solve these basic usability problems?

If the Windows downloaded contained nothing but a zip file with a binary then you'd have the same issue on Windows.

No, because it would require everybody to agree to use Flatpak to distribute working desktop applications.
Comparing Tesla to Ford is just comical. Tesla has a completely different technology they work on, and has a massive lead on Ford in EV's.

You don't even know what you are saying about Tesla. Take on more debt? Why would they do that? They have 17 billion dollars in cash on hand, and paid off a lot of their pre existing debt.

Even if they want to build a new gigafactory they don't need any more funding. They smartly sold more shares when the stock was insanely high and got a huge infusion.

For transactions, the only PII is DOB, transaction time, and location. I think it'll be easier to correlate transactions with the Assault Weapon permit and FSC tables than with the CCW table (since there's a clear temporal relationship, and the firearm make/model carries over too)
