I suspect the OP means, or at least the way I parsed it, is that they'll adjust to the changes to their lighting conditions, not that the light materially affects their physical coloration.

i.e. when someone buys them, they'll have to adjust to natural (i.e. sun) light, rather than the artificial growth lighting.
Me, I work pretty quickly online and Wifi blips are very noticeable to me, even that perceived slowness when something is being retransmitted is obvious to me, it sometimes feels sluggish.

Even with a top of the range consumer router it is night and day between that and my wired connection.

I think the environment is just too noisy now, I have done site surveys to try and avoid it but apartment living pretty much stands no chance I think.

I know how much it’s sucks, I wish you the best. And remember that only time will heal you. It can take a long time but you’ll recover. Also remember that it’s the result of a shitty and/or todos and/or mismatched work environment, not of any weakness on your part. Knowing this really helped me.

Another thing I forgot to add: if you’re not keen on paychoactives, CBD works well to help me relax. I never used any drugs until this happened to me but (in moderation) it was remedially helpful to cope and move forward.

You don’t even have to smoke it and damage your lungs. I got a German made vaporizer (wasn’t cheap, got it used) which only heats the weee or CBD to 200C. It’s enough to vaporize the cbd and thc but you get none of the tar and other nasty stuff from combustion.
For mine, I used stainless steel wire rope woven all across the underside of the vehicle in a manner that would make it impossible to remove a catalytic converter if they cut it off without also having to cut most of the wire rope. This method prevents heat buildup that could occur if you use a steel or aluminum plate to conceal it while adding enough complexity to the removal that you make it more likely that they are discovered in the process. Most of these thieves are trying to get in and out ASAP.

So far it has worked. That is either because the vehicle has not been targeted (most likely case) or because the thieves saw who may have targeted it realized that there were easier vehicles to hit parked nearby (not unlikely but certainly less likely).
I commented to the other fellow, but long story short; wasn't thinking about the high voltage fast charging lines, but rather little level 1 chargers people would use to charge cars parked on the street over night. Intact, they're worth a fair amount and at least first glance there doesn't seem to be a lot of risk involved if done properly.
Can they? Aren't most modern heaters (oil, gas) close to 100% efficient? If you get an extra percent or two out of a larger system I'd expect that to be lost in transmission between the heater shed and the house.

Lazy evaluation works in a manner similar to generators in languages like Python. Deferring execution until it's actually asked for by enclosing the unexecuted bit in a "thunk" (Haskell term, in particular, but not the origin). Thunks can be simulated in eager languages using closures, coroutines, and continuations (among other approaches). If you've ever used futures and promises that are computed only when asked for, then you've seen lazy evaluation in an eager language. Java's Stream API makes use of lazy evaluation for the same reasons Python uses generators, deferring expensive or memory consuming actions until needed.

> Yes, Bay, also Gen 2 Prius (#1 target).

Yea, they have the most PM of all cars on the road in the US; Toyota over built them as they were to be the California car and as you know many are still on the road as result of this over-engineering despite this high theft issue.

At least you got to keep yours, I bought mine as a salvage buy-back from it's original owner (2008 with only 72k miles) but it had a check engine light on it (p420/bad cat) since the accident.

I had the bare min liability since I was in Europe at the time and I was thinking of putting it on non-op. I installed a new cat in 2018 I bought from Toyota and drove it when I was in CA since I lived in CO most of the year when I lived in the US. I wanted a shield but most had mixed reviews. I left thinking our neighborhood is mainly family's and with so many at home during covid I'd be safe.

Wrong assumption on my part.

> I also had a shield installed after the first time,

Yeah, not all shields are built equally, some you can't even remove from the chassis after they're installed causing an issue with visual inspections and having automatic fails so they put little peek windows on them in later versions/iterations; hence the parallel economy that sprung over 2020-21 after many years of theft as it became so wide-spread, I was on Prius chat quite a lot those years and it was like every couple of hours you'd see a new member with a 'cat stolen' thread.

> Now, I have to garage the car at night by constantly moving home gym equipment, so my life is still somewhat negatively impacted to this day.

Well, you can always sell it, the premiums on them are so good on one in CA you can probably get something else if it's that much of an issue on you since things are likely to remain that way in the Bay Area.

But I'm guessing like most Prius owners, especially after all this ordeal, you will probably keep it until it dies at this point. When did yours get stolen and when was it replaced, most of 2021 Toyota was out of them [0] and did your insurance cover it with full coverage? What does it cost to insure now after this?

I scrapped mine because the tags were due and I couldn't find a cat without a massive premium and ultimately reporting it would increase insurance on all my cars and bikes and that wasn't worth it in the end.

I wonder what the difference between the OEM converter from 1992 and the replacement from 2007 would be. The OEM converter is easily twice as large but the replacement is certified 50 state compliant and CARB approved from a manufacturer in California. I guess the technology improved or the ceramic composition changed.

Hi, UBC guy here.
As a user, have to hard disagree on Microsoft 365. It is laughably bad compared to Google. Microsoft email is by far the worst I've ever used, even worse than the old pop3 days. The client is shit, the spam filtering is shit, the UI is shit, it's all just so terrible. That's just email. Outlook is a joke compared to Gcal. You can't even find a declined event again. And Word, Excel, etc. are soooo far behind Google. Teams is a nightmare all its own. I can't say enough bad things about this suite. The whole suite feels like one of those things suits sell to other suits because they never actually have to sit down and work with it.

I never want to work for a company that uses Microsoft 365 again. What a nightmare.
That sounds like class-based affirmative action, not race-based affirmative action. Is class-based affirmative action even called affirmative action? The article sounds like it would be in favor of class-based affirmative action.

> You don't need to speculate, the gap is more like 99th vs 93rd percentile:

This is easily the gap between a single individual on two different test days. Which is another way of saying that the difference is not useful in assembling a university's incoming class. Once you get above a certain level, the tests decrease in utility to categorize individuals into tiers. Once you get to a certain level of capability, you're broadly talking about smart people who can graduate from your university. Once you've cleared that bar, there's less utility in determining how far over the bar an individual goes versus looking at other ways (which are not measured on a test) in which an individual can add to their campus, class, and the world.

Question for anyone. I tried researching grow lights and I found mixed information regarding UV emissions. It seemed like maybe some or all grow lights emit UV based on some sources, and then other sources don't mention it at all.

Ideally, it would be nice to have a grow light that doesn't emit UV so I don't have to worry about eye protection and could have the light in common spaces. This is just for 'normal' house plants during winter, not for growing anything for consumption.

How is that an informal definition of it? It's almost identical to the Wikipedia description of it:

> From my superficial knowledge of compilers, "modularization" itself should not make code faster, if anything slower. There'll always be some overhead of loading modules and communicating between them, not?

I think this is a misunderstanding of what actually happened.

TypeScript has a thing called “namespaces” and a thing called “modules”. Both provide modularization. The TS repo is not being modularized, instead, the namespaces are getting converted to modules.

Namespaces are an old-school approach to writing a module in JavaScript. You pack all of your exports into a JS object, and then access the object from somewhere else. This works, but JS is dynamic, and the runtime has no way to guarantee that you won’t mess with this object (replace functions or whatnot).

Modules don’t have this object. You just call the function, instantiate the class, or do whatever else with the names you imported. They are resolved statically, so certain optimizations become more “obvious”, like inlining.
Yes, arguing about who fixes their holes "first" is pointless, but who fixes their holes "ever" is very important. It doesn't any sense for me to fix my holes if you have your finger in your ears saying "la la la I can't hear you" when I ask when you're going to fix yours.
The ‘Viral’ Secure Programming Language That’s Taking over Tech
Not exactly, tracing over the 3d is called 'rotoscoping', and has been used in animation for a few years now, basically hand-drawing animation over a 3d video.
There are two problems with rotoscoping.
1. The cost, its not much cheaper than just drawing it by hand.
2. The effects don't compare to diffusion. If you pay close attention, you'll find that diffusion not only added facial expressions, it even added SHADING and crevasses to the dresses. That stuff is extremely difficult even for a human to do repeatedly.

Indeed, diffusion is superior to 2d animation, even in raw quality. Because diffusion will soon be able to produce illustration level pictures for each individual frame.
Whereas 2d animation had to rely on detail-compressed simple artstyles AND keyframe-inserts to cut down on costs. Soon every frame will be a keyframe, and it can execute artstyles previously impossible to animate.
I wake up 5 am, work until 11 am and that was the day besides maybe some meetings. It works well; 4 hours of quiet coding, 2 hours working together on code and then maybe 30-60 minutes in management meetings. I have tried different setups but my peak is 7-10; it doesn’t really matter when I slept or how etc. I used to be a night owl and I tried normal hours (9-5); nothing is as productive as what I currently do.
Tried it, doesn’t work, I don’t fall asleep any earlier. Same reason if you slept in an extra 5 hours that wouldn’t make it any easier to stay up until 3.
Well I guess they could learn a thing or two from Gary vee
they are unsafe because if you try to cast something that's not valid the compiler won't let you. you can then choose to ignore it and be unsafe, or figure out the problem and fix it.
The Case for JPEG XL
>He’d be super nice to the diver (who told Elon to stick a submarine up his ass).

Pulling a publicity stunt while people's lives were literally on a deadline was not helpful, and only served to distract the professionals involved in the rescue.

Throwing a tantrum and calling the diver a paedophile when they declined (on the basis that the submarine would not be able to fit into the caves and thus would be unfit for purpose, assuming it could even be built before the trapped group were killed by the monsoon) was a spectacularly awful move. And that's just one of the many fiascos he's been involved in.

Elon may be a successful businessman but he is also a disaster of a human being and has thoroughly earned any "haters" he may possess.

Wasn't it a marketing gimmick? At least that's my understanding.

Otherwise it makes no sens. Computers back than where very expensive. You wouldn't use them for anything that wouldn't yield income in some way.

I would call "marketing support software" indeed "mundane enterprise software".
This is probably what I'll do with mine. I knew at the time that the catalytic converter should be recycled so I kept it. I just never got around to finding a place to take it. When I looked around, most of the places for metals are in the part of the county where we have all the meth-heads. I typically avoid that area. Some of them tried to steal my utility trailer from my driveway a couple years after I moved here. Luckily I heard them outside and ran them off.
> Here in Texas, any student from the top 10% of their high school is guaranteed a place at the flagship University of Texas at Austin.

> high schools in underprivileged areas - rural or urban - will produce students who are nowhere nearly as prepared as students from elite or wealthy schools.

The most cynical read of the Texas policy is that it is an end-around of the SCOTUS ruling that relies on continued, widespread school segregation in Texas.

If Texas schools were not segregated by race and wealth, this policy would not have the result of producing the diverse classes that the University of Texas system desires. The university system depends on the unfairness of the K-12 system to achieve its narrow set of policy goals.

It does not need access to database itself. Right now, you can simply explain the schema of your database and ask questions. It will simply generate queries.

The "du" command is your friend here.

The real miss here is in trying to do it without googling but not bothering to search manpages. They're there for a reason. If you're unsure of what to look for, "man -k <keyword>" to search.

For filtering networks, netfilter has a "limit" module that can be used to, for example, automatically limit all remote IPs to a set number of connections, rather than trying to piecemeal block bad actors. You can also do things like rate limit new connections, etc. Because it works off the chain-based approach, any known-good systems can be separately allowed through first (or allowed unlimited connections) before the limiting rule is applied.
