Have the commenters here extolling the virtues of these "obliterators" actually built one? Because they don't do much. Younger me made one ~20 years ago (actually around the time this page first came out!) and was very disappointed in how little it really did. Nothing happened to the hated DSL modem I wished destroyed! So what gives? It took me a while to figure it out, but these days I'm a professional EE and I have some insight....

Turns out the magnetics on an Ethernet port are good at their jobs. Like, really good. Not quite telecoms lightning-strike-survival good, but up there. Mains 60Hz may as well be DC as far as these things are concerned, and they're explicitly designed to block DC. Sure, for some configurations of magnetics you can blow them up if you get the pin connections just right, but that requires you to do a lot more than just "connect the transmit pins of the RJ-45 to HOT on 110VAC and the recieve pins to Common". Because that doesn't work. And even when it does work, it just overheats and pops the magnetics, opening them. Nothing happens inside the device proper.

If you want to cause some real fun you need a hi-pot tester plus a ground bonder. Those can do things that shouldn't happen.
The point of blockchain is to allow people to not use blockchain? I believe I have just now conceived of a more elegant way to achieve that.

I think you're conflating "violating the law" and "violating EEOC doctrine". The law--the civil rights act of 1964--is pretty neutralist. It doesn't make special exceptions for marginalized communities the way EEOC doctrine tries to do. It feels very much like this guidance aspires to violate the spirit of the law while not running afoul of the most generous interpretation.
Does biometric here mean your passport photo? I totally believe this is the official name, but the nomenclature definitely opens up the possibility of concept creep so that biometric data can mean anything from the mundane to the terrifying
Is this a new policy? I sold a physical product on Amazon for several years and always had it listed for cheaper on my own website. No issues - maybe I was too small to bother with?

You can’t play statistics with peoples lives. You can’t put out a drug because statistically it might help some while destroying a few. people don’t have the time or know how to understand the risks and that’s why it is imperative that imperfect treatments be limited to experimental use only

It's quite a few years ago now, but the thing I remember was pain in the moment, and then very sore muscles in my hand and arm, presumably because the muscles were convulsed by the shock. I was sore for a couple of days and then I was fine.
It's also very common for non-fiction books to have 20 pages of substance, but be padded out to 200 or more with repetition and filler.
> But this is the thing, it’s not healthy to see Adobe as the permanent enemy

- I used Fireworks every day in my job, they killed it.

- After Effects was a top 3 digital creative tool ever made, they let it rot till it's a janky shadow of its former self, it can't even the timeline without audio glitches making ANY audio work to animation impossible, same can be said for Photoshop, can't even save an image without it trying to force you onto their dropbox competitor.

- They had the perfect entry point tool for multimedia creation with Flash that a whole generation of teens learnt how to express themselves online with and they let parts of it rot because they saw it as nothing more than a videoplayer and enterprise app Java competitor.

How are they not my enemy, we're talking decades of attacks on my workflow at this point.
What actions did Twilio take, specifically, that you can glean from the expression "with an antiracist lens". That could be anything from "fire white folks" to execs sitting in chairs saying, "this is anti racist, right?" Whole doing nothing different so they can pat themselves on the back.

Unless you think the very concept of antiracism is a problem.
Really depends on the field. If you are a law firm, then they want as many ivy league graduates as possible because that is attractive to prospective clients (regardless of the individual merits of people working at said law firm) but if you are google, it makes no economic sense to pick person A from Harvard when person B from community college is much better. I look at my own company (in a "hard" field like google), we got our fair share of top college grad's at all levels but there isn't a large correlation between position and where someone went to school. Our interview process for engineering is 100% technical and people who pass can join regardless of things like education background. As for social heiarchy, people at my company demonstrate their worth by delivering things (that is how the status at my company is determined, what did you do?), you'd get laughed out of the room if you wanted respect because you went to some prestigious school.
Awesome!!! We're the ones thanking!
I grew my first giant pumpkin this year. Unfortunately, it's a bit too small for me to sit in—it's only about 500 lbs [1]. I will know for sure next Saturday when I move it to a contest.

I think I'll be able to grow a larger one next year, since I did quite a few things wrong this time. If anyone in Los Angeles (South Bay area) wants into this silly project—whether for growing, escorting with a boat, or even paddling—please get in touch :-)

You could also theoretically understand everything (with enough time and patience). Down at least to what all the chips in the C64 did, if not even the transistors inside them. That's what I miss, the feeling I was in control of my computer. Now the complexity is so high I feel like I can barely scratch the surface.
> Restrictions are all but gone at least in Europe and society is still functional. And it would have been sans restrictions too

Society was functional during the Spanish flu as well; that's really not the point. The point of the restrictions was reducing the overall number of deaths.

This is true (if we take "was" literally). Though IIRC it was only if you sued them over patents.

And this is also true (now).
Certainly some features are common between the two, like the power saving one - albeit it's permanent.
Revenue recognition accounting. (Is that not interesting to you? It's super interesting to me!)

There's this whole world of rules that accountants follow to properly record revenue. These rules are different for physical products, subscriptions, contracts, and even rules for what to do when you bundle these things together. And yet, the only two options for companies to crunch all this data is to use an Oracle product or Excel. (Or get the eng team to write SQL queries, to try and produce a correct result for a topic they don't have a background in!)

To do this, we're really leaning into databases like Clickhouse and DuckDB - taking raw data and very quickly summarizing them into journal entries that you can post during the month. Also using kinesis to let users stream in financial data in realtime, so we can then process that data in batch. (Kinesis -> S3 -> Lambda -> DB). In doing this, have also been writing low-level C and Go code to quickly iterate over a stream of transactions and accumulate results.
I think the point is that RSUs are preferable if the stock goes up, and cash is preferable if the stock goes down. If the stock stays flat, there is no difference between RSU/cash split.

I think most people's assumption that the market will go up over time so most people would prefer RSUs. How accurate that assumption is in the short-medium term remains to be seen.

Recently a new web-based fully gpu driven graph visualisation engine was released and it could handle quite some big graphs directly in the browser:
https://twitter.com/hoogerwoord/status/1568188361503907840?s...

Happy that people are building new graph visualisation engines and I think still a very open space for innovation in interactively exploring graph/network structures.
Yes!

Not only is a mechanical interlock a code-compliant method to properly protect downstream line workers but it is also a simple and comprehensible component that costs very little and never breaks.

We have a whole-house generator connected to our main panel and I made a very deliberate decision not to add the complexity and fragility of an automatic transfer switch. The little metal tab will always work and nobody will ever be confused.

What's wrong with opening your own practice?

Investors can only invest in scalable, replicable businesses. Veterinary practices are intensely personal, often specialize in different species and breeds, and can develop unique experimental treatments. The cost of labor is ridiculously cheap (people become Vet Tech's for love, not money), and buildings need not be in commercial centers, so capital costs are minimal.

Honestly, veterinarians are really in the best possible profession for maintaining independent practices. If they can't resist investor takeover, who can?
You are right that it is different, but it's not unambiguously better.

In the rather special case that stock price is monotonically increasing, there is an obvious benefit to locking in the earliest price you can.

On the other hand, if you have more cash every paycheck, you can trickle it into other potentially high growth companies and spread your risk. And you don't lose anything by leaving on a date you choose. And, as shopify has recently demonstrated, being locked into last years price could mean you lose a lot.

We've just left an extraordinary period of growth for tech stocks, but it won't always be that way.
We're actually looking for a static website platform, to use in tandem with Docusaurus. Any guides on how to do it with Docusaurus alone?
None of this stuff is being used as fair use (criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, research, etc.) nor is it used verbatim -- a fair use requirement.

I really don't know why people bother bringing it up other than to create an uninformed distraction.
No GFCI needed to create this.

Start with a plastic cover for the end so that you can't touch the plug when it is not plugged in.

Next design an an outlet that retracts the cover above only when the main breaker is turned off. (this implies the outlet is built into your circuit box)
Have you tried dry fasting? I've tried it about ten times, 24-48 hours each, and it's surprising how little my body cared about eating or even drinking the several times I've done it.
I get that you have made that up. In fact, despite aggressive propaganda efforts, the borrow checker is not the only way to get static correctness. Making shit up does not lead to any valid conclusion.

That I never have use-after-free or other memory errors is prima facie evidence that their absence is not a matter of "not making mistakes". We all make mistakes. Their entire non-occurrence must be attributed to other reasons.

The main effect of your aggressive propaganda efforts is to destroy your credibility, and that of everybody who apes them. Congratulations.

Based on my quick reading of this it doesn’t seem like the nesting structure explicitly takes into consideration the presence of efficiency cores. Am I missing something? How would this perform (in terms of latency, throughput, and power efficiency) on a hybrid CPU? Is this only meant for classic SMP and/or NUMA systems?
> I was reading quite a lot recently about war in Angola and still I have doubts which side was "good" and which was "bad", besides that people who lived there were hurt in the history like almost no other nation.

Norm MacDonald (I didn't even know he was sick) is said to have made the following quote, which is an interesting filter to look at all you know about history through.

"It says here in this history book that; luckily, the good guys have won every single time. What are the odds?"

> will not be recognized by any machine we have nowadays. The first is true, the second is bullshit, how algorithm can now this?

Forget algorithms for a second, even humans can't adequately judge nuanced issues, particularly issues that they're unfamiliar with and lack the context around, and particularly with a definitive time limit to work against.

Now think about how social media giants operate. They have teams all over the world, say in Bangalore, trying to judge the nuanced political arguments of foreigners having discussions about their own country's history that they don't know intimately. Oh, and they probably have to judge most issues in less than 30 seconds or they'll be too slow to keep their job.

It's like asking an average American to intelligently weigh in on some complicated political argument around Kashmir with a few seconds to read a post and decide who's claim is right. It's absolutely ridiculous that this is the moderation standard that exists.
In practice, the USB killer is much, much more destructive because USB is DC coupled and it doesn't have to overcome any protection magnetics.
38 miles in 12 hours in a river that has an average velocity of 3 to 3.5 mph.

Kudos to him for keeping the pumpkin upright in a difficult river, but I don't think he would have done quite so well in a lake.

On the other hand, a river with Class 3 rapids might have surface flow velocity of 10 or 20 mph, but that's not a good place to be in a pumpkin. Probably best to try this on the Missouri rather than the Congo....
If they're specially designed, they should have a specialized cable..
It is the inverse Blackstone Ratio!

But I think we must also look why they end up this way. My thoughts are that a small portion of the public reacts so strongly and loudly to any minor mistake that it turns into national conversations. Ironically through their very platforms and algorithms that optimize for engagement (fighting). So we then paint these small populations as representative populations and make mountains out of mole hills.

I actually do believe a better algorithm would alleviate some of the issues. But I do agree that it is not a cure-all. The problem appears to be quite complex and many aspects are driven from or coupled with factors outside the control of social media platforms.
This is incorrect.

When would it matter? I write in Python, so performance was never a concern for me, but I am curious the scenarios in which this was likely to be the weakest link in real workloads.

Given available options, I will take the network software written in a memory safe language every time.
No business is happy with competition. That doesn't make contractual collusion any less anti-competitive. If it is, as you allege, the norm, that only makes dealing with it more urgent.
Which really sucks for travellers. High roaming costs? Just go to a gasstation and buy a travel sim card, put it inside, use it, put it in the walled when you leave, and if you still have any data left, use it the next time you come there.

eSIMs are a pain in the ass for that.

The cloud service is probably the biggest one. But it's not just that. JAMstack is getting more and more popular, so you'll need to support "serverless" as well as a way to query via HTTP. Which means you'll need some kind of "Data Gateway" proxy on top of robust authentication and authorization. There are more and more "scènes à faire" to be competitive in the DBaaS market and I don't think dbaas startup founders are aware of it.

One approach would be to upload everything, wipe the phone, then log back in but not connect to iCloud (or Google).

Once you've cleared the border, go to a coffee shop and download over their WiFi. Or not, if you're on a unlimited data plan.

That has the advantage of requiring only one phone but would definitely look like you were hiding something. So your approach of a travel phone is better.

It is supported by all modern browsers. Even IE-11 supports valueAsNumber and the most important Constraint Validation API methods to deal with the problems the author mentions.

If you want to deal with inconsistent (and possible eccentric) user input: Use input.valueAsNumber

If you want to distinguish between empty and invalid inputs: Use input.validity.valid or input.validity.badInput

If you want to programmatically deal with incorrect entries: Again use the constraint validation API.

No offense, but if this is the first time you’ve realized claims should always be validated I hate to say it’s not because that’s a new situation but rather this is the first time you’re aware of it.

Second, that point is the most true about faceless comments on the internet, as your comment notes about Twitter, and according to your own comment the material on Russia/Ukraine bears particular scrutiny and yet in your comment on Russia/Ukraine there wasn’t any concrete evidence cited so at best you’re spreading unverifiable positions while also explicitly professing to not have any clue to what’s happening due to rampant misleading info.

As it happens it seems I was also born in Ukraine grew up in Russia and moved the USA [for the purposes of this comment but not really] so my take gives me special credibility on this matter.

I've used fluid analogies for intuition, even working as a professional design engineer. It's much easier to feel flow, pressure, momentum, etc than try to develop an independent intuition based solely on equations.

I'm actually starting to learn hydraulics at the moment and it's a head trip. I know these schematic symbols must have some kind of method to them, but what. Also all of these components are just created by drilling holes in metal blocks? One simple trick manufacturers don't want you to know.
