I assume you're trying to find the half-point by making a circle with center in each end of the line, with radius spanning to the other end. Which is too big for the game area.

However, what you need is to equal circles from each end point, no matter the size as long as they overlap. So the solution here is to make a smaller circle on one point, and using the compass make a "copy" of that circle with the same radius at the other point.
Think of it as like a visa. If your visa runs out, you no longer have the right to be in the country you're in, and you need to leave. You don't have to go home - you can go to another country with different requirements - but you can't stay.

If the "sexual economy" is so rich, why aren't there any rich and retired prostitutes? This article seems to walk right over the problems that are endemic to that "industry" in an effort to paint it in an acceptable light.

It then claims, without reference, that the VCR was a market replacement for physical sexual encounters. It goes on to ignore that AIDS was a health epidemic related to these sexual encounters, and that when the seedy operators are finally taken out of an area the real estate values increase.

It seems to me to be trying to out of it's way to flatly ignore the human cost of these "sexual markets," where the profit comes _from_ and where it ultimately _goes_.

I'm left wondering: What value is this essay supposed to have to this particular forum?
That is some great trick if true
China came a knocking several times, most recently 2022[1]. You know what "The West" has done? Its media doesn't even report on it while it trades with dictatorships like China and Saudia Arabia and Pakistan's military while constantly shitting on the biggest democratic nation in the world and its elected leaders. "The West" can go fsck itself, seriously.

It will many many decades, may be Centuries, before Ukrainian understand that tolerating Nazism is not a good plan and undermining the culture that gave Buddhu and Gandhi is immoral. It may take more time to realize that this war is completely manufactured outside of Europe.

I try very hard to not have an opinion, since I know that I know very little. But the person didn't ask for my opinion, just "an argument."

Because state antitrust laws were not prepared for the cases of state-within-a-state, or market-within-a-market. Normally the state would be the overseer of the market, and its antimonopoly laws ensure that the market is competitive. The regulatory function of the state has been replaced however by oligopolies which created sub-markets inside the state-overseen market, in many dimensions: Apple/Google, Visa/Mastercard, Cloud/providers etc.

The unfair advantage of these companies is that they can exploit their monopolies but still be immune from antitrust action because their own sub-markets are not bound by any kind of antimonopoly laws. Nominally the state sees 2 or 3 of them competing, hence they are immune from antitrust action as well. These companies don't even need to collude or form a cartel, since it s obviously beneficial for all of them to remain in position and just do nothing else. This will go on until, either a new thing comes along and replaces the internet , or , a new generation of anti-trust laws targets precisely those marketplaces.

One of my friends and colleagues had just finished a large, years-long IT consulting project with Marsh. Not long after the towers fell he received a request to join a group of people who had worked closely with some of their IT staff killed in the attack. The task: come up with a dictionary of possible passwords the deceased may have used based on everyone's recollection of their private lives and habits around passwords they may have shared (character substitution habits, etc.)

It was grim and my friend was shaken by the experience for some time.
"unsafe forbidden" (GH tag)

Is this practical for web programming? In the domains I'm used to (embedded and graphics programming), this isn't feasible. I recall some Actix drama re `unsafe` that this tag presumably alludes to. Perhaps web programming is abstract enough where this is a reasonable goal (?)

Unrelated: What have y'all been using these minimal Rust web frameworks for? I've found them too sparse for websites, eg missing automatic DB migrations, auth, admin, email etc. On the plus side, Serde and Chrono are both things that apply to web programming and are (IMO) best-in-class.

My workspace at home is a single desk that I shared between a work supplied laptop and a desktop. Earlier this year I left my job, returned my work laptop, and transitioned to using my desktop as my daily driver for work. This had the following impacts:

- I no longer have to switch peripherals to use the same desk with the same peripherals: monitor, keyboard, mouse, microphone, DAC for music, and webcam. This simplified my wiring on the desk and reduced overall clutter, something I appreciate greatly.

- It helped me have a clear delineation between workspace and not workspace. When I'm done for the day, I tend to put my desktop into suspend or shut down entirely. I endeavor not to perform any tasks from my desk for the remainder of the day. Prior, I think I struggled with the mental transition of finishing the workday, switching peripherals, and then pivoting to my desktop for personal projects.

Recently, I purchased a modern laptop. My 2017 laptop was struggling, I needed to travel, and I needed access to software that wasn't readily available on my desktop OS. Post new laptop, I noticed the following:

- I am significantly more productive at my desk w/desktop versus pure laptop work. The peripherals, dedicated space, and compute power have a noticeably positive impact on my productivity. This is most impactful for development work and moderately impactful for my writing.

- My desktop is fast, and the screen is crisp. I thought my new M1 laptop would outshine my ~1-year-old desktop on Pop!_OS, and it does not. Desktops can pack a serious punch when it comes to computing power. This power does not require a large amount of space. My case is 6+ liters with a mini-itx board.

Having access to both a desktop and laptop has let me use both devices where they shine best. The laptop is great if the priority is mobility. The desktop is great is the priorities are power (compute / network), comfort, and a dedicated space.

Climate Change should be approached as an engineering problem that threatens everybody and not packaged as a "social justice" problem against the affluent.

One could as easily frame climate change as a problem caused by the global south industrializing and achieving higher living standards, leaving larger carbon footprints.

It's a weird quirk, now that I think about it, as a native English speaker. It's only a change in present / past tense and the preposition, but communicates something completely different.

I guess reflecting on something external is always assumed in the past tense (I didn't care for...), while reflecting on ones own opinions (I don't care for...) suggests personal belief.

And "for" (external) vs "about" (self) intensifies the above.

But there aren't any real logistical or constant rules for why the above is, in English. :(

> Obviously Odin does not use C's memory model.

"This is depressing for project creators. Early on, they have the triumphant experience of building exactly what they want, and solving their nagging problem. And the result is that they’re cleaning up after a bunch of requests from people who are either annoyed that it doesn’t work for them or have unsolicited feedback on how it ought to work. No wonder Linus Torvalds gets so mad. Running a successful open source project is just Good Will Hunting in reverse, where you start out as a respected genius and end up being a janitor who gets into fights." -- Byrne Hobart

I have to admit that this really rings true for me, and it's why my "fun" projects are usually solo affairs.
I can't speak for the earlier commenter, but I think there is a large gap between what the EU does today and what it would need to do to be a "superpower". It is left to our imaginations to guess at such a future, and so disagreements may just stem from different imagined scenarios.

I don't think the US would be a superpower if the treaties, tariffs, and military control were parceled out to the individual states and each state governor and state assembly decided when to work as a block and when to act independently.
>If the "sexual economy" is so rich, why aren't there any rich and retired prostitutes?

there are, they just aren't public about it because it's illegal.

and, a large number transition into other lines of work before they retire, and that's what they end up known for.

>It then claims, without reference, that the VCR was a market replacement for physical sexual encounters. It goes on to ignore that AIDS was a health epidemic related to these sexual encounters,

it's speaking specifically about pornographic theaters, which VCRs obviously compete with. AIDS is mentioned immediately in the next sentence
Is there a specific reason you trust your router for IPv4 but not for IPv6 traffic? IPv6 privacy extensions should be enabled by default on most devices. So even in the unlikely case of a device being exposed, someone has to know the temporary IPv6 address and then try to access it while it is still in use. This device would also have to run a vulnerable service on some port that the attacker has to know. All in all, I think that this is a pretty unlikely scenario.
I'd add, this is not necessarily true in the future, because we have justices on both sides of the Supreme Court concerned about surveillance and privacy (most transparently Alito, Kagan, Sotomayer), and that could be a majority in future rulings. This made the news in U.S. v. Jones.

I think it's an inclusive OR here. When logging stabilizes in the Go SDK (which will be a while, perhaps a year) the idea will be that you can keep all your existing logging and then start to add tracing judiciously so they're easily correlated with requests. I think the juice is worth that particular squeeze for more folks at least.

From there I would personally advocate for adding more manual traces rather than more logs, but it's understandable if it's a heavier lift to pass context around all the time. The more options the better.

Hm, I just dislike magic like that. It tends to go wrong in weird ways. If I'd compile it and symlink to it as fgrep-gnu for example. But of course, the wrappers would be even more confusing, executing the system grep, not the compiled grep. So removing the wrappers is fine.

No, that’s what you inferred and presented as something I said.

They weren’t failing. They voted to phase them out [1].

And France made a similar bonehead mistake: there were regulations put in place by the government after the 2003 heatwave regarding water temperature limits [2] and wildlife which forced them to be powered down. Hilariously enough, they chose to do this not just during a heatwave, but also when there was a massive maintenance backlog due to the pandemic.

So, yes, they would have helped immensely.

As per usual, the government and their zealots created the mess and blamed it on someone else. These people are halfwits and their destruction will be of great benefit and security to humanity.

Yes, real estate investors are the definitely the group most in need of empowerment... /s

Edit: The ethics of this project are questionable, assisting real estate investors at the expense of first time home buyers (indicated by the heavy focus of this tool on optimizing profit through rental income) is not what our society needs at the current moment, in my opinion, as it reduces the pool of available homes for sale and forces our society further into separation between people catapulting their wealth and those who just want an affordable house to actually live in with their families while adding an asset to their net worth.

Similarly, if reassigned, and you do the work of the new assignment there's no grounds for a PIP, and even if there were, your original manager wouldn't be the one putting you on it.

This article is poorly/un- sourced, and ham-handedly forces the class-oppression dynamics in defiance of obvious alternative explanations.

"pets" - servers which require unique, individual care, love, naming and feeding and are irreplaceable in their function. You know it's a "pet" server when you think long and hard when you name it

"cattle" - servers which have no distinct personality traits, are fed, loved and cared for as a group or heard. You know it's a "cattle" server when the name isn't something you can easily remember

Neither pets nor cattle are "exploited", they all have their jobs to do, however they have an ROI and also a consequence of being unique or not. Cattle tend to be born, graze, die and it's part of the cycle. Pets die, and you are emotionally upset and do something stupid -- and you find yourself doing unholy things to resurrect them like using backup tapes or something
