Well, at least some people here are smart enough to know how to run disassemblers and packet captures. Clearly not everyone, but a few tech literate people.
That sounds great. I don't suppose the code is published, is it? I'd love to see examples of CANBUS interaction from the rpi.
> bad writing

There are examples of bad writing in here. But you're right; it's not all bad. And effects, acting, etc are generally pretty good. Though not great. (Except Disa; she's great.)

> I can't see this as anything else than sexism

The complaints about Galadriel aren't sexism. At least, the legitimate complaints aren't. If anything, the show undersells her. She should be one of the three most powerful elves in Middle-Earth right now. She ruled Lindon and rules Eregion, and yet her nephew the high-king dismisses her like she's a nobody. And she acts rather irrationally much of the time.

I think the main complaint about the troll fight isn't that she's the one to kill it (because of course she is), but that the other elves are so completely useless.

> LOTR films were not as Tolkien wrote. I recently re-watched them and they're not perfect either, to heap praise on the films but scorn the TV series is looking back with rose tinted glasses at best.

The LotR films are really pretty good. By no means perfect, you're right about that, but they treat the source material with a lot more respect than The Hobbit or the Rings of Power did, and the result is a much better story. It was made with love, and you can tell. I can forgive Osgiliath (even if I still miss the Scouring of the Shire).
By the way, Poetry's dependency resolution isn't that great. It doesn't properly evaluate optional dependencies. For example, when I try to install pymongo on Linux, it will insist on installing pywin32 as well, even though it is completely irrelevant. It's given me a lot of headaches.

If it happens to me, an active computer user for 25 years, think of how often this has happened to others. How much work has frustratingly been lost because Windows knows better about when to update.

Worse is technologically speaking this shouldn't even happen. Windows should be able to take a running application, save its state, do its update, reboot, then restore the application, without loosing a single byte of application state. Microsoft's lack of compassion for end users in this regard comes directly from it not effecting their bottom line.
I was downvoted for saying the same thing two days ago in a very constructive way. It seems this is a very contentious issue.
It's not an issue. Regulator established dead-drop address, you move the requested amount. You're good to go. Forensic accounting is quite simple in that regard.
I empathize with the writer, and as someone who read LOTR a couple decades ago now (yikes) I agree that this show (and to some extent even "The Hobbit") didn't _feel like Tolkein_.

I think he nails part of why, but in general the problem is these shows (due to the economics behind them) have to make people "relate to it" like a modern Disney/Marvel/Pixar movie, whereas the story is set in a time which is _not_ relatable.

When you know this, every part where a character does something that is "too much in line with modern sensibilities" can feel inauthentic, and suddenly "break the experience of watching it".

At the same time, _shrug_. It does seem inevitable.
The pricing model isn't appropriate to make people care.

What they could do instead of time-of-use pricing is a sliding multiplier that multiplies your total bill based on the ratio of on-peak to off-peak use. Make the multiplier worse based on what the total usage is.
It's also impossible to set up someone less technical with an alternative. The platform will keep prompting them incessantly and in various different ways, and sooner or later they'll switch or activate something by mistake.

It really needs to be possible to say "no means no". But somehow, continuously nagging seems to have become acceptable.

I went to therapy. It probably helped. I encourage anyone who think they might need it to try it. Certainly do it if you feel more than a little depressed.

But at the same time. While the therapist certainly had some good advice, maybe the most important input was that therapy probably would not help me with the things I struggled with. The therapist didn't have any "secret ingredient" that would solve everything. The only secret ingredient is self agency. The rest is information that is shared among everyone alive - life experience.

Try stuff out and ask people what they have tried. Try more stuff until you know what works for you.

I would recommend seeking a competent and honest therapist or religious advisor because it is very unlikely you can overcome this alone given how this has, by your own admission, been a lifelong problem. I don't think it is wise to seek serious advice for what is a mental, spiritual, and/or moral issue in an online forum. Not only do we not know you well enough to advise you properly, but the likelihood that you'll receive advice that will help you is rather low. It might even help having something who keep you accountable.

For example, we don't even know why you are avoiding social interaction, and you may not consciously know it either. What sorts of vices are you enslaved to that keep you stuck? What sorts of destructive habits from childhood are you trapped by? Do you have a temperamental disposition for melancholy?

FWIW, depression, which is what it seems you have, can involve avoiding truths, including those about oneself, that are uncomfortable or painful. This is pride, which is opposed to humility (i.e., rational, honest self-appraisal and self-assessment; emotions are not the best guide). Pride is the mother vice from which all other vices spring. In retrospect, it is not surprising. Life lived in opposition to the truth is a recipe for misery, boredom, stagnation, nihilism, and insanity.

Happier is the man who passes through the meat grinder that is life than the man who seals himself off in a padded cell, wasting his life in the process. It is better for the wolves to tear you to shreds than to rot under a rock; for others to destroy you than for you to destroy yourself. Indeed, a man can inflict categorically worse harms on himself than anyone else can which are superficial abrasions in comparison.

Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure they're saying that the bullet left the muzzle at 3,300 fps and had decelerated down to 600 fps at time of impact, not that it was moving vertically at 600 feet per second. So the fact that it was moving faster than a BB gun isn't really shocking.

No doubt. For starters, UBsan does not check for any invalid memory access.

In my C++ course, I require that the code runs correctly under 5 different compilers (GCC, LLVM Clang, Apple Clang, MSVC, Intel C++ Compiler Classic) on 3 OS (Ubuntu, Windows, macOS) in Release, Debug+Valgrind, Debug+Sanitizers modes, and students still get UB quite often.

In similar situation, and am thinking of taking similar steps in next 6 months. I have a couple of projects that are coming to a close, and am planning to dig in to some previous projects/ideas and pursue them with more vigor. I'll keep myself open to consulting work and possible f/t job, but won't be pursuing it for a while. I'm very... "burned out" and need to stop - or at least slow down a lot.

I've been fearful for years of taking my foot off the gas, unsure I could step back in to things. Ageism has seemed to be a thing among some of my colleagues/friends, so the older I get, the more nervous I get. But yeah... savings... similar - probably 2-3 years of cash on hand, but we're in the middle of some house remodeling. That may take it closer to 1.5-2 years when it's done. But I'm just so.. tired of the rat race and need some time off. A day at the beach doesn't really cut it. 3-4 days won't cut it, I don't think. I need some extended time on 'no work' or possibly at least 'reduced' work.
Neither of those things would necessarily keep users using Chrome, however.

Once exposed to it, many people chose to continue using Chrome because Chrome offered a better experience than browsers like Firefox and IE did at the time.

Early on, Chrome felt faster and sleeker than its competitors, without sacrificing functionality.
Yeah, i mean the stories come to some conclusive point. They finish at least one season that is.
Judging only by that article, I'd say: Not generally. Its described as inhibiting REM sleep, not sleep or sleepiness in general.

Ask a doctor to help you figure this out. Wild guess, as a random layperson on the internet with no formal qualification: Could be lack of vitamins (E, D3, B5 or B6) or a melatonin insufficiency or a irregular sleep schedule or due to psychological causes. Alcohol and other drugs have quite the impact (especially in sleep quality). Or a combination or something completely different; it's like asking "My program is slow, what can I do?" ;-)
I am a little sad that nobody has said .NET or C# so I’m going with those.

I pretty much cut my teeth on the first versions of them at university more than 20 years ago and the framework is still going strong to this day. Versatile, powerful, constantly evolving, well supported, easy to understand, truly portable, and effectively free. What more could you ask for.
Yeah, I have absolutely no problem with Galadriel fighting. I do have a problem with her being dismissed as a nobody by her nephew the king, her getting on that boat without Celeborn, or her trying to swing across an entire ocean. I know that she's athletic, but there's just no logic in any of that.

I do understand why they did it: they wanted her to end up in Numenor. But they did that in a poor way, and for poor reasons, because the destruction of Numenor isn't supposed to happen until millennia later. The rings haven't even been forged yet!
Sorry if I overwhelmed your VPS! But seriously, this was super impressive. Well done!

Hm yeah, in some sense I like the things to be more orthogonal, i.e. container images vs. the file system

On the other hand I think storage and networking should be more unified, and the differential compression and caching you get from layers is important

I suspect that doing the layers at the logical level (files) , like overlayfs, rather than the physical level (blocks) is also better for containers, but I'd be interested to read any comparisons
* ZSH - powerful configurable terminal

* Steam/Proton/Wine/DXVK/VKD3D - to allow me to game on Linux and not need windows ever again.

* Fedora - for giving me a distro that is updated/leading edge, but not rolling and super stable.

* asdf - for letting me manage and get latest versions of my tools with minimal effort adn keep them updated

* Modern messaging - Whatsapp, Discord, Element, Telegram, etc. Lets me keep in touch with family, friends, communities near and far.

* foot - a crazy good wayland terminal.

* VS Code - light editor that does everything i need. No longer have to use heavy IDEs for anything.

* Go/Crystal/Nim - nice compiled languages that give me static binaries an a fun development experience.

* Linux - its been pushing for decades, but its finally at a place where it is starting to feel like a good everyday distro and so many things just work. Part of that is Web tech and Electron, others is Wine, the rest is the hard work of Linux devs that improved DEs, tools, accessibility, compatibility, etc. Most of my family has switched to it and most are not tech savvy much.

* Bitwarden - great, open source password manager that gets better and better.

* Micro - for giving me a nicer updated Nano experience when I don't need Vim or Emacs to edit some config files.

Im gonna get a lot of flack for this next one, but whatever:

* Google stuff - because it just works, and works really well. Android, docs, drive, maps, photos, etc. (i have contingency backup plans if this ever becomes not the case, even wrote a blog post detailing a lot of alternatives.)

And finally:

* Software - for giving me a career that gives a good quality of life to my family and myself. And its fun.
> Is no longer reasonable. The dependency chains are too vast to expect the end-user to be able to audit the whole thing.

The end user shouldn't have to audit the whole thing. The software that includes the dependencies should audit their dependencies.

If that burden is unworkable (and in a lot of cases, it is), that's a sign that the software needs to shed a lot of the dependencies.
Intrinsic in that belief is the belief that those actors would not be cast if they weren't POC. Like that the only reason they were cast was because they were POC. And that their talent and qualifications were not sufficient. Like, if that belief were not held, then there would be no backlash to speak of.

I mean, seriously. Race-baiting? Race-baiting. I can't even fathom the twists of mind it requires to believe this.

I've seen a lot of people talking about the "supposed backlash to the diverse casting" that they never see. Those people don't realize that they're the backlash that the rest of us are talking about. That's why they don't see it. It's a blind spot. It doesn't require someone to say something overtly racist like using slurs or whatever. We've already got legions of people complaining about race-baiting and how there is no other explanation other than it being a cynical marketing ploy, like NO other imaginable explanation because of course these POC would not be hired for reasons other than being POC.

Why is it so hard for some people to believe that these days, casting can cast a wider net and that there are plenty of qualified actors of all races that will still fit the parts being cast?

I wasn't sure what your concern was, but is it that?

1 ) Hardware authenticators won't spit their root secret, almost by design.

2 ) Webauthn doesn't require that the authenticator store the list of accounts, also by design (for privacy). So if you want to switch from iPhone to Android, you have to remember all websites you used Passkey on, and go one by one hunting down the right security settings page.
I see mainly young people also struggle with reading comprehension skills so they might be learning faster (in their own pace) mostly because they can't read effectively.
In hindsight, I really regret not including the adler32 and crc32 in the image itself too, since I knew them ahead of time. If you inspect them with hexeditor, you'll find they have non-random values :)
> [I]f "large project" is what gets you into (various) troubles, then you should avoid doing this.

This makes perfect sense and I do agree. But I also wonder what you would say to someone writing, say, an operating system or a browser? Projects that are inherently large and where the stakes of errors are high.

I do think you need great safety and abstractions to raise your complexity ceiling to the level of these projects, if that's what you've set out to do.

The ultra wealthy elite are generally already under intense scrutiny and accordingly tend to pay an army of tax layers and accountants to ensure everything is buttoned up.

Poorer people are significantly more likely to be audited: https://trac.syr.edu/tracirs/latest/679/ - I suspect that it's not that the IRS likes going after poorer people specifically, but that they're more successful in extracting money from people with less money to pay professionals to structure their finances and tax strategy or to defend themselves from an audit.
Not a solution for shared multi factor auth but maybe some ideas…

- the root account should not be used. Disable it from being able to do anything with an SCP

- new accounts created with aws organisations by default have a random password and no mfa. Access is granted by going through the password reset process. Switch to this process for existing accounts, randomise all the passwords, grant break glass access via password resetting (ensure your contact details are valid). The password reset typically requires access to the email account (make it accessible via SSO) and potentially a phone call, ensure a virtual phone number is used and root holders can point it at their phone.

- use the likes of azure ad, keycloak or okta to store your organisations identities. Require MFA on them via yubikey. Enable access to multiple aws accounts via aws sso.

- for ssh access switch to using aws ssm.
Does Linux force you to use Firefox? Every distro I know has it by default. Yet the first thing I do on a new install is install Chrome...

And of course everyone does the same on Windows. Only Edge has started to slightly change that trend, and that's with some very aggressive tactics by MS.

It's a bit more complicated than that. The committees for Physics and Chemistry (and Economics) are colocated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Medicine is elsewhere, as is Literature.

Losses in related areas:

(1) Common hardware platforms.

(2) Upgradeable/maintainable hardware.

(3) Areas of the house dedicated for computing.

(4) Reading. People are not reading so much as before. This impacts negatively areas such as language development, vocabulary, grammatical complexity, and capacity for communicating and reasoning in structured/non-narrative formats.

(5) English as a native language with native language comprehension, vocabulary and grammar levels. English is now a second (or third) to most of its speakers affects the depth and breadth of complexity that it is possible to utilize with most audiences.

Thoreau's famous for spending a lot of time alone and writing about it.

" I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee. I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house."
