> The Harfoots (presumed ancestors of the Hobbits of the Shire, Buckland, and Bree) are completely made up. But I rather like them and I think their story is so far pretty logical.

The Harfoots aren't just made-up, actually. They're mentioned in "Concerning Hobbits", the prologue to The Lord of the Rings.

"Before crossing the [misty] mountains, the Hobbits had already become divided into three somewhat different breeds: Harfoots, Stoors, and Fallohides. The Harfoots were browner of skin, smaller, and shorter, and they were beardless and bootless, their hands and feet were neat and nimble, and they preferred highlands and hillsides.

...

The Harfoots had much to do with Dwarves in ancient times, and long lived in the foothills of the mountains. They moved westward early, and roamed over Eriador as far as Weathertop while the others were still in the Wilderland. They were the most normal and representative variety of Hobbit, and far the most numerous. They were the most inclined to settle in one place, and longest preserved their ancestral habit of living in tunnels and holes."

Presumably the Rings of Power storyline takes place before the Hobbit's recorded history began, before they settled between the misty mountains and mirkwood and long before the settled the shire, while they were still wanderers.
Even if the results are not 100% historically perfect, 99% of the hard job is done. Skin tones, plants, skies, water... they all look incredibly good, and the object segmentation is almost perfect too.

The TOS aren’t referring to content-type headers, magic bytes, TCP headers, browser support of file formats, or any technical implementation.

To oversimplify, they’re saying Cloudflare’s service is to be used for serving websites to browsers.

Serving a static text file that is primarily used by applications is not in line with their terms of service.

Cloudflare provides a significant service to the free and open web by subsidizing the hosting costs of static content for websites. They give that away for free under what appears to be reasonable terms. I’m not sure why you’re trying to “gotcha” through their ToS.

It would be great if Cloudflare would donate resources to EasyList - it would do a lot to help the free and open internet by giving users more power over what gets delivered to their browser. But call that what it is: a donation.

As I understand it, they aren't exactly lens artifacts, they're stars in the foreground. The telescope can't see past them and we don't know what's there. To me, it would defeat the observational mission of the JWST to fill it in with some pixels that were similar to the rest of the background. However, I also think you raise a good point, since all these images are constructed from non-visible infra-red light and many decisions are made in that conversion process.

I find I can't talk to people who do that. Things don't flow, they don't work well, and both of us end up frustrated.

So that ends up being a limit for me, I just choose not to interact with people like that if I can help it, and communicating async if I have to.

IMO, the most effective solution to this problem is to sidestep the issue altogether by splitting groups so that more people can talk at the same time.

It's also much easier to negotiate rules - interrupt vs wait - in a group size of 2-4 than in one on the order of 20 people.

100% agree, but of course that's not the point.

Webb's purpose is scientific measurements, not cool looking images. (Though wallpapers are a nice bonus!)

oh no what if the fishermen kill the birds
I don't disagree with any points but they missed a big one. If at all possible, include some application (or attempt at a globally) unique error code on each of your errors - i.e. YCOM-HN-9021. When you provide a clearly googleable string you can help your users independently resolve the issue and you can also set up google alerts on the string - if you roll out a new feature that took 3 months to develop and a week later google tells you that YCOM-HN-9021 is up 9000% you probably broke something. If at all possible make yourself open to client communication but most users won't reach out about an error - users have very low trust in customer care in the modern world (and it is, honestly, often more trouble than it's worth) and are more likely to turn to reddit/technical forums for a solution. It is extremely advantageous to try and track these users.
It was never suggested that what the original commenter was doing would help EasyList.
Your comment includes exact copies of words and phrases which I have also used prior to you, so you are violating my copyright even if you didn't intend that.

Well, I don't really think you are violating my copyright. But by focusing on parts, you go down a rabbit hole of equating an element with the whole thing. This would render all collage art illegal. Lawyers and art pundits love ruminating on the uncertain legality of collage art (because it's not a binary question, so they can churn out endless articles that boil down to 'it depends'), but this glosses over 2 important realities:

1. Nobody gets sued over collage art largely because any case is doomed to end up with lawyers measuring the size of collage elements with rulers and then arguing about what small percentage is too much, and uncertain exercise few law firms wish to gamble their reputation on, and

2. nobody gets sued because collage art isn't worth very much to begin with; collages aren't valued very highly because they aren't as hard to make as painting or other art forms. 'Appropriation artists' like Richard Prince get rich and famous partly because their art is less about the image than the cultivation of notoriety for artistic effect; they are artists of scandal rather than pictures.

In general, bits of things are just not that important, and I'd argue that the same applies to code. If part of your code matches a prompt (excluding highly specific prompts like '# insert Woodson's unique XYZ algorithm here') and is then deployed in another program without alteration, isn't that most likely to be because it performs some generic function?
They're not talking about the stars, but the hexagonal spikes sticking out of the stars. Those are artifacts of the hexagonal lenses that the telescope uses.

Im not sure, it's a weird thing to say. I don't t think there's anything about the language that even specializes in containers more than any another general purpose one.

Zig is a meme language that will never break obscurity. Last time I checked it transpiles to C which makes it hard to take seriously.

D is the only one of these C++ replacement languages I respect. Unlike Rust, it's compatible with C and isn't dependent on llvm which I can only suspect adds bloat.

Unfortunately, even 20 odd years later I don't see much adoption. Corporate backing helps the most, but I honestly think hipster sounding titles like Zig, Rust, and Go play some part in this.

I'm gonna develop a programming language called Chai and the C transpiler wl be called Matcha with some anime girl mascot.
There isn't a one true way when it comes to humans - which is a good thing. It would be a shame if the human experience were to be condensed into a standard operating procedure on how humans should talk/debate/converse with other humans.
Huh. It's my impression that 2-3 seconds of talking over someone else is not "quick". To me, that's a long time to keep going.

I have a similar thought pattern with who's thoughts are more valuable - but my perception is that the person butting in knows what I am saying and what they want to say, whereas I only know what I'm saying. Therefore, they are in a much better position to determine which thought is more valuable, so my best course of action is probably to pass the baton.
> I expect legacy automakers to commit financial resources towards charging networks

Sure, whereas I additionally expect those financial resources being put toward networks from which all EV owners benefit rather than ones which rather transparently act as monopolistic vendor lock-in. It's entirely asinine on Tesla's part to push a proprietary network that only Teslas can use, and it's entirely asinine on the part of EV advocates to respond to "there are no generic charging stations on this route" with "but Tesla put one of its proprietary ones on it so why are you complaining?".
Browser developers can choose to fake user-agents. Brave uses a generic chrome user agent so it cannot be differentiated from regular Chrome.

I don't think you are interpreting his definition of GOF correctly. I think he would agree with the definition provided by the NIH that you quoted. Looking at Derek Lowe's quote here:

> So this was not a gain-of-function experiment, and it did not appear to make a more dangerous virus.

He seems to be making two separate claims:

1. This research is not GOF
2. This research did accidentally make a more dangerous strain.

And that because of both reasons we should not be worried.

The article up to this point was explaining why the research was unlikely to produce a more dangerous strain, and hence why he could describe it as "not GOF". This is not based on outcomes, but on a reasonable assessment of the risks ahead of time.

We had a phishing email this week that Microsoft Defender let through. Its email body link was a Microsoft short URL like https://ncv.microsoft.com/ which then landed on another Microsoft URL that began with https://customervoice.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx and showed a legitimate looking FAX/PDF download, which was the only link in the chain that was obviously some odd scam site.

The first link still works and it seems to redirect to a random scam page each time.
I love this framing. Own your impact. The best software engineers are relentless in their problem solving approach independent of outside judgement, and have some intrinsic drive to find good solutions (ie. even if it's just a day job, they still care about the quality of the work). Sure, mentorship is nice if you have it, but you also need to make your own mistakes and develop first-principles thinking so you don't just cargo-cult whatever you are hearing from "seniors" (there are plenty of bozos with big titles).

I feel like young software engineers are way more tentative and fearful of mistakes than earlier generations. My hypothesis is that this is a result of the massive amount of information available on the internet today and so many self-proclaimed experts ready to pass judgement. But all that's a lot of noise that can feed imposter syndrome and lead to analysis paralysis. The most important person to judge your path and your abilities is you yourself. What will you make today?
I'm so tired of people wanting to turn Telegram into Signal, it's never going to happen. E2EE comes at a cost. The cost is decreased scalability and inferior UX as clearly evident.

Matrix can't even load 100 old messages properly with E2EE enabled in a room. Signal can't even handle scale when it comes to chat groups and communities. There's no anonymity in both either as Signal doesn't even allow you to hide your phone number and Matrix leaks your metadata to all involved participants like crazy.

Telegram doesn't use E2EE but the privacy and security are in no way compromised.

The whole fuss about "They can read your messages" holds a very negative assumption in the first place about them reading it and then also assumes everybody's threat model involves inferior UX of managing chat backups like WhatsApp just to keep messages away from cloud.

Just take a look at your threat model and decide what you want, not everybody wants an E2E encrypted chat app because we know the compromises that we have to make with E2EE and I'd rather have my chats on cloud encryption than my local device, considering how many features Telegram allows me to have with cloud sync.
This is very understandable. I myself grew up in a 'decent' night sky area. Then I moved to LA. Absolutely abysmal in terms of night sky visibility. I felt lucky to see a dozen or so stars.

Now, having moved to Flagstaff, AZ, a dark sky community, the night sky is fantastic. It has returned to me the beauty and wonder the sky once must have instilled in everyone. It's not the grand canyon, or deep in Death Valley or other parts of the Mojave. But it is enough. On new moons, not more than 30 minutes from town, the milky way can be so bright as to leave an 'afterglow' when one closes their eyes.

Computers and these images, while fascinating, will never truly rival the beauty of your own eyes seeing the night sky unaccosted by human development.
Are there any hackers out there making custom ones? I was designing one recently and it ended up looking a lot like an Android phone in the end. Maybe a better 3d printed case and powered by PoE instead of battery.

As someone who has lived car free I both agree and disagree with your point. What we tend to do for shopping is occasionally cab/instacart big heavy bulk stuff (like dried beans, canned goods, spices, the 3lbs cut of beef) from Costco/equivalent and then do random small shops through the week to pickup vegetables, fruit and other perishables - it works out quite well and it's nice to be able to plan recipes pretty flexibly.
No, his defense is that there was not a reasonable expectation of danger, and that expectation was validated by the lack of dangerous outcomes.
> But of course it's as unreasonable for me to expect other people always to adapt to my preferences as it is for other people to expect me always to adapt to theirs.

I'm actually not quite so sure about this. Admittedly, as a lifelong member of the waiters, I find "interrupt culture" incredibly frustrating. But I also think there's a framework by which we can establish interrupt culture as ostensibly more rude, even if that's the custom you're used to and expect. Consider children at recess, all wanting to use the same toy. The children could

1. take the toy from whoever is using now when they want it, or

2. use the toy for a short while before returning it so someone else can use it.

You could cast the second a little differently,

3. use the toy until they're done with it before returning it

Assuming the kids can't simply prevent each other from playing and there's some moderation effect to ensure other kids can play at the next recess, both of the "wait culture" analogies seem less rude than the "interrupt culture" one. Of course, the toy represents the shared conversational resource. "The stage," if you will.

I think the societal trick is, then, not to "learn to adjust to wait/interrupt culture if you're used to interrupt/wait culture", but to encourage more mindfulness about using the shared resource and returning it if others want it.
I interrupt because sometimes my attention span and memory can be measured in milliseconds.

It’s a bad habit in the wrong circumstances sometimes.

I'm pretty sure it is any outlet in the garage now needs to be GFCI (though that may be that we have a utility sink out there for why we needed it).

Walmart has a lot of supercenters and Neighborhood Market locations so you'll have at least two grocers. I suspect though that Kroger/Albertsons will sell off some of the stores to mollify regulators.

What is this top 5 US city?

Half decent infant daycare in SF/SEA/NYC/LA/DC suburbs is going to be minimum $1,700 per month, in the cheapest of those metro areas.

In tier 2 cities, I would question the quality for anything less than $1,300 per month.

And in no major US city would I enroll my child in a $1,000 per month or less daycare.

You can even back into the max teacher pay based on monthly daycare costs since you know how much staff is required, and knowing the living wage in some of these cities.
I think it’s a great idea. Also a great model for benevolent dictators.
I also immediately thought of Sim Tower. The introduction chapter to the handbook mentioned that the Dev (Yoot Saito) actually started with an elevator simulation.
Fair point, not knowing when something might come in handy.

I still believe looking for things we can use should be a guiding light.
It is also worth noting that since ~2020, SafetyNet (the previous version of the API) has increasingly been moving to hardware-based attestation. Forget running apps that require it (e.g. banking, McDonalds) once enough Android phones work that way. Hardware-based attestation cannot be spoofed like software-based attestation can.
