The length of the siding shouldn't prevent you from using it. It should just require the main track to be signalled stopped for other traffic in either direction while you are occupying it during the set out procedure. If the train is long enough, this could be quite a long time if you have to dump and then rebuild working pressure in the brake system.
Apple usually buys their panels from LG, most of the time you can get better price/performance if you buy the same panel directly or in other assemblies.

They are features of other hardware associated with the panel like light sensors.

And no, just because a contract manufacturer makes the panels doesn't mean they also designed them.
I know plenty of American women who would be outraged at the suggestions that the reason there's fewer women in high paying tech jobs is because they enjoy better gender equality! That's some twisted logic there.
In my opinion AGI is much more likely to be first deployed by a country. If it is a company it would be a Chinese company with government backing. They are already funding massive models for their big tech companies and universities.
It will suck when they do that, but at least I’ll get whatever time I spend on Reddit back to funnel somewhere else.

interesting - what is the confidence interval on this? if you start a balloon in the same spot at the same time does it always end up in the same place? or is there a wide range of where it could be
Nah, this is a desperate move from the content mafia. None of those users, even if they could be identified would face any liability for what they wrote.
I wouldn't say that MS "is moving" the .NET release cadence "towards", it has been quite regular for the last few years already: There is a major version every November, since 2020. And every second one is Long Term Support (.NET 6 is LTS, and .NET 8 will be)

But yes, this is a "modern" cadence of small, frequent releases, and it is expected to continue like that.

The table of releases with dates is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET

If you're doing microservices, web services, queue processing, etc in a .NET version >= 5.0, then hosting on containers or Linux servers is common, even the norm. If you doing AWS Lambdas or Azure functions then the host OS is "IDK, not important, probably a linux"
Also, international telecommunication itself literally predates the US Civil War. The USA has existed for longer with international telecommunication than without!
The state of being about to fall asleep is an altered state of consciousness, and not too different from the states that are entered while meditating. The standard way to address it would be to try and bring that state of anxiety, fear and terror towards a calm equanimity: a sense and intuition that no matter what happens, everything will be okay. This might even help you realize that you actually have some unresolved baggage or stress to work through that's blocking this path and leaving you with that anxiety. But that's quite common and not very hard to address in turn.
We liked the name "Phind" because it was playful and cheeky. And it is a bit of a throwback style-wise.

This has been my experience as well when I switched over to Mastodon -- "random posts" such as questions, "off-topic" thoughts from me get more replies from people I know well. However, this also meant that I had to see everyone else's "random posts". It's a trade-off.

Personally, I went back to Twitter because the signal-to-noise ratio on Mastodon was too bad, and I use Telegram/Discord instead to communicate with friends privately.
25k rep early adopter. I stopped using it when the librarians got out of control and it no longer was about helping people but instead about being a perfect library of provable knowledge where most users started to be categorised as problematic to that goal. Particularly users who were less competent at expressing themselves in English.

Other things that irked: librarians removed all the flavour from many of my answers over time (not only swearing but also quirky phrasing or choice of metaphor), librarians would close discussion topics that were useful (e.g. what's a good tech choice for this usecase today?"), or librarians would close new questions I was in the middle of penning a non-trivial answer to because they'd misunderstood what the user was actually asking (e.g. poor English).

Since the days of newsgroups I was seeking a place to pay off the knowledge debt I'd obtained through the glorious advice that luminaries such as Jon Skeet and Nicholas Paldino had given me in the past. SO stopped being that place after all the basic questions had already been asked. There was a kindness and endless patience that the newsgroups programming crowd had, that I feel like we lost with the SO librarians.

I appreciate that I had a different perspective on what I wanted SO to be than the founders but I really perceived the frustration new users had with the approach to moderation and it made me upset to the point of not wanting to use it anymore.
I would bet they have a "hidden" extension embedded in edge, that just injects a content-script

It's sort of ironic for Amazon to push for a returning to pre-pandemic norms, given that the pandemic was such a boon to their retail business and stock price.
Had this been part of the spec, it would never have been adopted so fast. The sync fabric is so complex, so sensitive, so hard to get right, I wouldn’t want this to be part of the Passkey/WebAuthn apex anyway.

Let’s see how things unfold - passkeys in itself are an incredible improvement already.
Remember that you asked this question...

>That and the cartel can just straight up roll up with guns and take all your shit, why wouldn't they just do that if they wanted your money?

...and I gave you this answer (paraphrased)...

>Because it's easier to get the cops to do it for them.

Looks like we're done here.
This is also a great read, I've not seen it before.

> No map can do justice to the ethnological complexity of this region. The Serbs, Croats and Montenegrins are of the same blood, tho divided by religion and nationality. The annexation by Austria in 1908 of Bosnia and Herzegovina, both racially united to Servia rather than Hungary, destroyed their hopes of joining in one great Servian empire, and this disappointment gave rise to the bitter resentment against the Austrian crown which is now displayed.

It's quite interesting to think that even then, in the US press, Austrohungarian imperialism translated as 'preventing the Great Servian empire'.

Thanks, I screwed up the link. Can't edit the post unfortunately.
Yeah, this is a huge breach of trust! Ads in the browser would merely be super annoying and unprofessional, ads injected into the content box of a competitor's website is downright scary. What's next? Blocking users from downloading Chrome outright?! Replacing the Chrome installer with a program that extols the virtues of Edge?!

Okay, I don't actually believe they would go that far. But if you'd asked me before seeing this article whether they'd even go this far I'd probably have said no, so who even knows at this point? Even if it turns out the misleading nature of this ad was unintentional, that's a pretty egregious oversight, especially since they had to know an ad in this context would be closely scrutinized regardless of how they presented it.
Trust and MS don't belong in the same sentence
I posted a story which provided unique background from a reputed web site on staffing decisions in one political party. It got pulled with two formal reasons both obviously wrong e.g. me having headline edited which was not the case and it also did not change in between. I took it up and wrote a polite request even providing reasoning why it was a good fit (which was not the reason it was pulled). Next thing happened was a two word message: "off topic"..

I feel the discussions are becoming narrower and diversity of topics and thoughts is lost. Sometimes I think there is a bullying dynamic at work - unable to stem the tide of astroturfing and being flooded by the story of the day moderators are working on the boundaries of their communities where the quieter voices sometimes speak up. And moderators have to watch those - that is their role - but most stories are just small stories with only little life in them. Why squash them - time will rank them down - so why?

where do you see caste discrimination show up ?
If it's an appliance, it should last as long and not become obsolete the same as my appliances do. Examples include:

- Kenmore Dishwasher (12 years of age, still running perfectly)

- Danby Deep freezer (9 years of age, still running perfectly)

- Whirlpool Washer & Dryer (21 years of age, still running perfectly, minor self-service repairs)

- Kenmore Refrigerator (11 years of age, still running perfectly)

I have barely had to service these items, but when I did (washer and dryer) the parts were readily available and I was able to do the repair myself.

When I compare this to my iPhone X, it is quite different:

- 1 year in, needed a screen replacement due to a factory faulty digitizer

- 3 years in, needed a battery replacement

- 4 years in, phone is starting to get slow, heats up a lot when in use

If I had to compare this to a "device" I own and use regularly, I would say it feels a lot more like a car and a lot less like my refrigerator. Based on what I'm reading, it would appear the lawyers and courts see it similarly and the only folks disagreeing are Apple/Microsoft/Google/John-Deere. Folks who don't want right-to-repair, which funnily enough, we have for cars and most appliances.

Odd that all the sudden they want it otherwise when it's a "computer" but also... is now an "appliance".

I wonder why they're so keen to make seem like it's an appliance? Is it perhaps advantageous for them to do so?
What would be really cool is an AI interview. "So this looks like the same problem, do the answers here help?" "Oh, why not?" "I see, so what else have you tried?" "I see we still haven't resolved the issue, so I'm going to rewrite this discussion in our standard format and post it for our expert community to solve."

Firefox certainly hasn't been left behind. I'm not a Firefox fanatic and don't use it all the time but it's far from a bad/abandoned browser.
I didn’t disagree with the goal. I question the owner’s stated goal vs the actual behaviors and utility to its audience. So is the goal descriptive or aspirational. If latter then describing the site that way reads more like an ad. Like taking musk‘s statements on what Twitter is “for” at face value
It’s still costing them per click though, is it not?
It would provide a better representation of the ability to steer the balloon.

As it is now, it suggests "you launch it and it goes somewhere randomly." But if you were able to demonstrate that it is able to steer by changing its altitude it becomes more clear that overflying an area can be a deliberate act.

Additionally, the data of "here is the current vector map for the winds at some altitude" doesn't handle the forecast of what they will be at a different location in 6 hours.

Having this as a game with "overfly these cities and score points" combined with using one month's worth of wind data and forecast information for 6h and 12h from now (rather than a point in time) would be more accurate for what it can do.
Haha I guess you are right, I am just out of my depth here, I'm sorry to waste your time. :)

Definitely happy for you that you could have steeped yourself with "prominent athiest thinkers" but also have not spent any work at all on it. Quite an accomplishment! I am glad you are as unbothered as I am, its good to just to talk it out sometimes.

And just for the record, I am in fact an athiest! I know I don't necessarily get my atheist badge for that, but gotta count for a little right?
It looks phind queues a query for its machine learning models. I submit the following query twice. For the first time, phind gave Google-like answers that talked about only Guava. For the second time, though, Phind gave me good answers on using popular Go libraries with sample code.

I have read that the governor of the state isn't requesting much in the way of federal assistance, and hasn't yet declared a state of emergency, which may or may not be a prerequisite for such federal action.

That being said, it seems to me that the entire situation is being used as a political football, which makes things murky. What everyone seems to agree on is that the residents on the ground are not getting the assistance they need.

Yes, nobody would know. They weren't trying to hide it.
I don't know what kinda person actually considers Reddit a go-to for answers. It's absolutely abysmal for that sort of thing. SO isn't perfect but it's leagues above any subreddit I've ever used. Almost all subreddits succumb to getting too popular (if they're good to start with) and eventually the amount of actual help you get from them becomes exceedingly rare in my experience.
The Ohio governor has not declared it a federal disaster area. This prevents certain aid from being used, but apparently FEMA is helping out.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about who asked for what.
Had no idea there are cork oak trees near my house and they're considered rare in London. Very neat app, love it.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

Public funding for a noncommercial web. Websites that sell things have no problem paying for themselves. The noncommercial web would be a place for people to socialize, share media from their lives, and enjoy their hobbies.

Amateur radio is noncommercial. We should be able to have a similar regime on the web. It shouldn’t even really be that expensive to host. With peer to peer protocols there should be no need for paid hosting companies. Government could mandate that ISPs facilitate self hosting. With IPv6 every device should have static, publicly-routable IPs.
Being compelled to testify or otherwise elaborate the details a comment was based on is a liability in and of itself.

As for the original comment, there is also the third option of avoiding sites that will retain surveillance records for 8+ (!) years, and mitigate what they know about you when you do.
Artificially boosted how?
Even that’s debatable.
What medical costs? The town has ~4000 residents. If they pay for several doctors visits and checkups, we are talking about a couple million dollars.

They could cover health insurance for the entire town for a similar cost per year.

Replacing the train is likely to be more expensive.

The real cost will probably be environmental testing and remediation. Even if there isn't an big impact, it will take a lot of money to collect the data to prove it.
The thing that really protects them is refusal to use anti-trust law to break these large uncompetetive monopolies up. A signal is when these companies begin to engage in massive stock repurchase programs.
No! For once, we have made it completely obsolete to try and obtain user databases and sell millions of credentials, because they aren’t useful for passkey enabled sites.

But instead of exposing users that reuse their password across a handful of sites, you want to hand over the single master key to everyone’s digital life to the hackers??
Other than questionable ethics, it can lead to immediate termination.

But as always, there's lying and "lying". Saying you quit when you were laid off, I would consider lying. Telling you needed new challenges when in fact your boss was so toxic you wanted to quit the universe, not lying.

In the end, a job interview is a courting dance and you'd want to put your colorful feathers on, but at least they should reflect your reality.
I believe that has to be requested by the state and, to my knowledge, that has not occurred.
I just went right now to https://www.google.com/chrome/index.html using Edge and didn't get a full-size ad, but a little corner pop-up.

Can confirm. Have been overweight - slightly obese my entire life. My two biggest regrets are

1) Eating out for most of my adult life instead of cooking at home, and

2) Always having snacks around.

Every time I eliminate these two things, and increase my exercise, the weight comes off.

These days I only snack before an intense activity like Tennis.
Which is amusing because the "new" reddit has consistently been loading 10x slower than old over the past few weeks.
Of course they are going to do it. I used edge to download other browsers, that's it.
Compliance is the constitutive purpose of surveillance.
I don't know that SO ever wanted to be much of a community in the traditional sense. We had communities before SO: huge forums and similar construct. They were pleasant(ish) for people participating in them, but they were awful for random people off the internet trying to find the answer to a specific question like "how to X in language Y." You'd wind up paging through 50-60 back-and-forth posts in some long-forgotten thread before finding out if anyone had answered the question. You find yourself with the classic DenverCoder9 problem[0]. Forums were great for community, but bad as a repository of answers. SO was an explicit reaction to that, and explicitly rejected attempts to make it a "community" in the classical sense (aggressive duplicate-closing, no opinion questions, minimal user personalization, no off-topic discussion, etc).

sorry, really genuinely interested in the structure here, reference?
First off, I deleted the part you're replying to cause I didn't think anyone would bother reading it, but you quoted it during that time, so I apologize for the ninja edit.

The code I deleted was sensible for the business requirements at the time, and the author thought it through. It wasn't a whole DSL (which I agree is a classic mistake), was just a list of regexes and a few other variables. We had to support new pieces of inventory in our system, and adding onto the list/config was easier than rewriting code. You might fault the author for not predicting that assumptions would change and building something more flexible, but I don't think it was doable. I think the author's real mistake was spending so much time on something impossible to predict.

If I'd put more thought into structuring my new code (as I normally do for other projects), it would've been thrown away regardless, because more things they told me were "invariable" changed after I did it. And if I assumed everything was variable, it'd take way too long to write the system, so the tradeoffs pointed to writing bad code and not caring. I had several other projects on my plate that were worth spending the time on.

We had the opposite problem with another system a teammate wrote for maximal flexibility. It was composed of several carefully abstracted layers. This made the system just too complicated to deal with, as nothing even used that flexibility, and some new features even started breaking his abstractions. When he left the team, I rewrote it to only do what we need today with 1/10 the LoC, and it's way more stable. My new cross-system design has that whole thing slated for removal too. That code will live only a year.
If we accept this idea, I think we also ought to expect SO to rebrand their site so that it makes it clear to the average user what the site is. If, for example, SO looked more like Wikipedia - that is, it decreased the size and prominence of the "ask question" and "answer question" buttons, got rid of comments entirely, and focused on the core content then I would be happy to judge it as a wiki. Until then I'm going to judge it like a Q&A site, and I feel it's fair to say the behavior on SO is toxic (with regard to that context).

Reconsider that. You can try to add everyone you remember from previous companies or school, and you'll be more available to recruiters. "Luck surface area."
