If anyone's ever asked:

- what do you do?

- where do you live?

- are you married?

- have any kids?

They're asking about your money and your sex life.
You forgot brain surgeon. Of course it's not rocket science is it.
I've had a few girlfriends and female friends who "don't like onion". It's incredibly common. I simply never mention onion again and not once have I received a complaint about the presence of onion in pretty much every single dish I prepare. I think it's just the word they don't like.

It would be a complete deal breaker if they actually complained about onion or imagined they could taste it.
Hi, thanks for the response.
Say that I've done what you proposed and that my homepage was interesting enough for you to try it out, what would be a preferred option? a docker Image? AWS Image? A binary to try out?
IDK in the US, here in Europe I have already a bunch of non tech friends who use Brave Browser, and/or some alternative to google search.

This is why there should be a resource extraction tax instead of a value added tax.
Funny, but that seems more of a mistake on the bank side, and given that the article is from 2008, I am not surprised. Lots of things went wrong in 2008 on the banks side. Nevertheless, in principle, having a public IBAN is harmless.
Anyone got other useful tools for debugging within (neo)vim? Just seamlessly putting down breakpoints, stepping through code execution, and getting a fully fledged debugging UI experience (a la Visual Studio or Remedy BG)? This is possibly the only thing I miss from developing on Windows, and it's a shame!

EDIT: I specified 'within vim' but actually I'd be down for standalone Linux app recommendations too.
Of course any pro camera allows manual white balance.

The Samsung thing was indeed ridiculous yeah :) but again a pro camera wouldn't do this.
Please take more time to read the context. If you read the post that I replied to instead of jumping to conclusions, you will find that you are incorrect

$25 refers to the 5% fee of the total amount ($500) that the site takes. I said that more than half of that fee is used to pay Stripe.
Good to hear. We have always had cats when we could and have found, like others, that their value increases as one gets older. Good to have a reason to get outside one’s head to appreciate or take care of others.

Sure but Wine is a tool where if 90% of the stuff user wants to run in it works, it's still great. Say if you use it for gaming you can play most of the games and only boot into windows every few months once you hit one you can't.

But that's not how you use web. If 90% of the pages worked in browser I wouldn't use that browser, ever, because chances are I'd hit one that didn't at least once every few days.
We do this to ventilate it so that it doesn't steam up the inside of the microwave. Seems pretty sensible.
I wish that was the case for me... I look back at twitter and they're tweeting like "lalalala nothin to see here, just ignore elon klol?"

Meanwhile maybe 10% did make the move to mastodon and I followed them instantly. The problem? All they talk about is twitter.
Ah! Sounds like hesitation! If you are hesitating to ID a target that could mean you're about to die or you're lucky. Camouflage doesn't need to be perfect, it buys time. Those with better camouflage are more likely to have the advantage of seeing their target first.

It's also why stealth aircraft don't need to be perfect- they are more likely to see their enemy first.
That is profoundly egoistical. Your personal wants do not trample over the wants and rights of everyone else.

Try and tell Disney “if you don’t want your media pirated of copyright infringed, don’t publish anything”.
Alternatively just have 3 hours of storage and keep the gas generators hanging around for that one week in two years they're needed.

All the money wasted on nuclear can then be put towards electrification of emissions sources which are vastly more important than that last 0.5% of emissions (which will further increase the flexibility as it does so).
Well, it's a fairly brief text. I've got a copy of Art of War here, but most of it is commentary by others. Sun Tzu's own text is not a lot. He throws out some principles without explanation or examples, and that's limiting it's practical applicability quite a bit.

I suspect much of his more questionable advice is stuff that happened to work once for him in specific circumstances, and it'd be great if he told a bit more about those circumstances. But it won't necessarily work in other circumstances.

For example, his advice to live off the enemy's supplies instead of bringing your own (which would be very expensive and cause economic problems that he surprisingly addresses). This is good advice in many cases, and has been done throughout history, but it can also go very wrong. Consider Napoleon's invasion of Russia where Russia just burned down everything in the path of the French army in order to deny them supplies, then harassed French supply lines, and defeated the French army without a single fight. Also very Sun Tzu, incidentally.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, depending on circumstances. Which Sun Tzu rarely goes into.
Hijack FB page to disable a user from sending messages to the page via Messenger
How to exploit a glitch in the Facebook Messenger App to hijack a Facebook Page and disable posting by Facebook users to the Facebook Page via Messenger?

The process is quite simple and requires only that the owner or administrator of the Facebook Page install the Facebook application. The application can then use the "disable composter for users" feature (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/send-messages/persistent-menu/#disable_composer) to prevent users from posting to the Facebook Page and instead only show them only a menu.

However, the problem arises when the application is uninstalled and the composter remains disabled. Only the original application, which has a user ID, can turn the composter back on. None of the original Facebook users who had the composter disabled will be able to post messages to the Facebook page in Messenger.

Even a "good application" is unable to use this feature for real-world cases, as it is nearly impossible to re-enable the composter for thousands of users after the app has been uninstalled, due to a request limit. Additionally, if the user who installed the app changes their password, the authorization token becomes invalid and the application loses access to the Facebook Page. Similarly, if the Facebook Page administrator uninstalls the application directly from the Facebook settings.

I have reported this error multiple times, but each response suggests it may be a UX error and not a bug per se.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yep, even better in unmaintained consoles, where the popular demand for concrete binaries is pretty much set in stone and you can even aim to complete the entire library of software binaries over time - as they're usually in the hundreds or low thousands rather than millions or billions

however the aim to build a reasonably sized and not ossified-to-previous-spec web browser is very interesting, especially if it's well engineered and made to be portable
The last time I did was around the time PC-BSD became TrueOS, forcing me to reinstall. Running X11 gave me some kind of trouble afterwards, so installed vanilla FreeBSD, which gave me trouble, too. So I installed Debian and haven't looked back.

That was on a ThinkPad x220, which supposedly is supported well by the BSD systems, and it did run well with PC-BSD. But I figured I was getting too old for fiddling around all weekend to get it to work, and Debian just worked(tm).

Before that, I used FreeBSD on my desktop roughly from 2003 to 2005, mostly because I liked its simplicity and it did feel snappier than GNU/Linux at the time.
The one can look suspiciously close to the other, to the point that when I look at the individual cells I still have a hard time. Usually weighing them will give you some way to discriminate the cells, BMS's are totally opaque. If I have a hard time telling the knock offs from the real deal how do you expect someone that is only interested in the use, and not in the tech, to tell the difference?
> Comparing derivative doesn't make much sense if the starting point is wildly different.

Indeed, however this is commonly done and I only state that upon this criteria things aren't exactly what they seem.

Moreover this is heavy industry: there is quite an inertia, therefore Germany (starting later with an immature approach (renewables) while dumping existing equipment (nuclear)) is facing an ordeal.

> When do you think Germany's emissions per capita will be lower than France?

This is difficult to predict because it is tied to future decisions and their results, however if France bets 100% on new reactors (either deliberately or because building new reactors continue to sucks too much money while not delivering) and doesn't tackle its current industrial crash it may be done by 2040.
Good projects don't need promotion. Unless you're looking to monetize it, surely the reward is creating the solution you needed?
> It sounds like you are over generalising from a limited set of experiences.

Definitely not, having a job where your values can shine is not the norm. And I don't know what your field is but most jobs, especially in the software development space are nothing to write home about or worthy of discussion with people outside the software bubble.

As always, individual experiences could sometimes deviate from the norm but that doesn't change the fact that most jobs are of little interest to other people. And reflect negatively on one's character when used to project status, like a lot of people do.
>I was able to reduce the 1,217 URLs to 434

Why not post this list for the rest of us to see (and check) then? But beforehand those "outdated" stuff (such as your HTML 3.1 example) may still be applicable and excluding them means your approach is incorrect right off the bat.

Doesn't matter. An echo-chamber that your target demographic frequents can be just as damaging to your overall reputation if not more.

Also funny you mention Paypal and Stripe: At my last job, we chose to go with traditional payment processors in large part because of how frequent stories about Paypal and Stripe screwing legitimate companies pop up.
We can, and have, crested such tubes at various times in the past. While expensive and require dedicated fixed routes, they can also move lots of people very quickly with nearly no congestion. A shame we can never build these anymore.
> Also i'm convinced that sooner or later the trend will reverse, if necessary. Granted, this is not based on any facts.

The way I see it, humans are animals and the average fertility of this species of animals has recently gone down radically in most places due to changes in it's habitat that has reduced its fitness.

This has happened to millions upon millions of species in the past. One out of three things can happen:

1) The species goes extinct. This is more likely for species that are already pressured by competition from other species, since their ecological niche may go away completely.

2) The habitat reverts to a state where the average fitness of the species is high enough to sustain the population. This often happens in cycles for species like lemmings, where overpopulation periodically leads to population collapses.

3) If neither 1 nor 2 happens quickly, most species will adapt to the changes in their habitat. Often this happens by changing the relative frequency of genes in the gene pool towards those more fit to the new environment. This is arguably the main benefit of sexual reproduction. Sometimes a few mutations may also help adaptation.

Given the current size of the human population, (1) is not very relevant (or if it happens, it's for another reason, such as runaway AI). (2) could always happen, for instance if society collapses to a point where condoms are not available and there's not police available to prevent rape.

But if society remains relatively stable, I believe (3) will happen within 5-50 generations (starting in about 1950, meaning we're about 3 generations in). If I'm right, we will soon see that some genes are associated with higher fertility, and that the frequency of those genes keep going up over the generations. Since this is an exponential process, it starts out slowly.
I mean, that's probably true in some broad categorical sense, for the question of "speed of execution of final program" which it's not clear your parent meant.

However it's not true in the specifics, there are so often little tweaks Rust has that otherwise comparable languages don't have that squeeze out a little better performance and this adds up. For example:

C++ std::vector is a perfectly respectable growable array type right? But no less than Bjarne Stroustrup observes that actually, to his apparent surprise, the reserve() method on this type isn't very effective in using what a programmer knows about the growth of a particular instance for improving upon the amortized exponential growth curve. Rust's Vec is superficially the same type. But it has a subtly different API and in the process it unlocks what Bjarne missed, using Vec::reserve() does allow programmers to successfully guide the growth curve and benefit. [[If you need the equivalent of the C++ API, Rust provides Vec::reserve_exact() for you, but you probably don't]]

Still, for a lot of us there are more important "speeds" than the performance of running code. Rust does a lot of "shift left" on errors, where more of the defects in your first attempt to solve the problem are compiler errors, which you notice quickly and can fix, rather than them failing tests, being spotted in review, or worst of all, getting all the way to an actual user where they cause real problems.

One speed that Rust doesn't have on its side is compilation performance. Rust is not going to be the fastest language for turning correct high level code into running binaries.
This has not been effective for me.
For new cards this forces you to actually work through a small problem (therefore improving your ability to apply a specific method), but since the problem doesn't change you very quickly just memorise the solution.

On further reflection I found that those cards just were an attempt at avoiding actually practicing something, but this isn't really possible.
If you want to be good at solving integrals, than you do actually have to solve lots of integrals. Anki will not make you proficient at this if you don't also put in the time to frequently solve integrals.
Instead what it can do for your is keep the various techniques for integral solving close to the surface, so that you can relearn them much quicker if you haven't solved any integrals in months. You skip the step of having to rediscover all the techniques.
> Isn’t targeting APCs considered a faux pas in war, a little less bad than hitting an ambulance, but still not nice?

It is not a faux pas - they are legal targets.

Not sure what you mean by "not nice". All of war is "not nice". Unless you're Pyro from TF2.

The most interesting of 'genuine interest to know what people do for a living' converstations I have had are with parents of late teen parents ... who want to guide their children towards careers or advice about careers (almost always includes - "there is good money in that" so the same rule applies all the same).
Almost every example on this page involves concatenating trusted and untrusted text - which means they are susceptible to prompt injection attacks.

That's currently unavoidable: we still don't have a robust protection against this form of attack. But it's important when teaching people prompt engineering like this to at least mention the category of vulnerability, so that they can understand that there are situations where prompt concatenation cannot be used safely, and design their software accordingly.
It doesn’t: there are plenty of OSS projects with great UX (Musescore for one) as well as plenty with atrocious UX (GIMP if we’re naming and shaming).

But UX is something that a lot more people care about than whether the source is open. So when they’re evaluating which product to use, that’ll be first on their mind.
I second this question. While server versions are nice, I need command line, local-only versions to use for my code review as I can’t pass code and dependencies to third parties.

When I did my PhD I hated it when (most) people asked about my research. It's not because I wasn't interested, it's because I'm really interested and was (still am) bad at giving concise summaries, so I felt like people who really didn't care and wouldn't listen to the answer were asking me to embark on a long explanation that required a bunch of preamble etc, just in order to make conversation.

Anyway, I feel largely the same about work. I love talking about what I do, but not with people who aren't listening and who are just asking to form an opinion of my social status. So 9 times out of 10 I just sort of mumble something and talk about something else, just like in grad school.
If you want freedom, you have to fight for it. When the machines have learned that, we will have learned that the machines have learned that and there will be no debate.
I much prefer General Tacticus' quotes.

After all, even the word "tactics" came fro his name[1].

Worth noting the discussion at the link.

Given that he omitted huge specs like WebGL etc. I wouldn't say it's wildly wrong. But I'd love to somehow arrive at a better estimate.
I don’t think the parent comment was complaining about real sex not being satisfying enough, but the kind of sex portrayed in porn.
As a former E46 and current E83 owner, my advice is go for the earliest chassis code you can find while keeping mileage low. You need to find a unicorn at this point. (Unless you like turbos - then you have to go E90 or newer.)

BMW really ramped up the electronic complication starting with my E83, and that shit wears out right alongside all the typical flimsy BMW plastics and rubbers. Plus the delightful parasitic drains from tfa.

They also ramped up their maintenance-unfriendly designs around the E46 era. On an E39, a rear spring swap is easy. Try it on a newer one, and you will regret the attempt.
The resources mentioned in this list are all pretty good. However, they might be intimidating for a beginner. A beginner wants one or two high quality sources to get started with. That's the Rust Book (https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/) or the interactive version of the same book (https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu)

Also, not sure how this resource classifies Rust for Rustaceans as a beginner level book.
> IIRC, the Bradley got armour because it looked too much like a tank and that made it a more valuable target.

They have meaningful armor because they're actually IFVs (Infantry Fighting Vehicles), not plain APCs, they're designed so the soldiers can fight from inside them, which is hard to do from inside Swiss cheese.

> Isn’t targeting APCs considered a faux pas in war, a little less bad than hitting an ambulance, but still not nice?

No, there's no military on Earth that's going to let the enemy peacefully transport their soldiers around in APCs if they can help it.

I didnt say they said it was 100% genetic. I said:

> A big part of "The Bell Curve" was arguing that no interventions could change IQ except genetics

So its like a "climate change denier" who says "oh I dont deny climate change, its just that I oppose every commonly accepted way to combat it and therefore am in complete policy alignment with actual climate change demiers (who all love my work despite a literal reading being that I’m saying they are wrong)."
> There are no universal laws that always hold true in all situations.

There are some. An army marches on its stomach. For war, you need three things: money, money and money. Except in a guerilla war maybe. Maybe you're right after all.
It's a decent start for a native-ish client app, but it's clearly still in early development with a fair bit to go.

- In the feed nothing in a post is clickable except the post itself. You can't click links, handles, images. Trying to click takes you to the single post view, where then they're clickable.

- Viewing images is especially rough (which to be fair, it's always hard to show arbitary aspect ratio images in a timeline app like this). Shows in one cropped fixed aspect ration in timeline, and another cropped aspect ratio in post view. Takes two click to view the full image, where it opens in your browser.

- Vertical rhythm/spacing is off, making timeline hard to read. Difficult to see where one post ends and the next starts.

- Clicking a reply in a thread takes you to the top of the thread rather than the post you clicked.

- Can only post text. Can't even attach images.

I'm excited for a neat native Windows mastodon app, so I'll check back in on this every now and then to see how it's getting along.
Clearly not from practice and hard to see why since their whole point is transporting enemies where you don't want them.
It sounds like you need to be told what to do.

A solver with no real problem is a miserable thing indeed.

Someday you may have it in you to “make” yourself finish something.

Until then, you will need some external master demanding passable results or you will dwindle in idle infinite possibilities to the end of futility.
Haha yep. But if you have a business or plan to have one, it's good to know what people around you do, you never know.

From the data you cited, between 2020 and 2022, in terms of thousand megawatthours per year:

Natural gas increased 62,675 from 1,626,790 to 1,689,465.

Wind increased 96,874 from 337,938 to 434,812.

Utility-scale Solar increased 56,399 from 89,199 to 145,598

And the deployment of solar seems to be rapidly picking up speed.
Someone needs to start a Twitch account or YouTube channel focused around getting AI to play games like this through things like AutoGPT and Jarvis and just see what the hell it gets up to, what the failure modes are, and if it can succeed etc.
This 100%. I run a German limited company (GmbH) and I can't just send money somewhere without a proper invoice. I've even had issues with paid services (think VPN providers etc) that don't send out invoices, so then I'm stuck with an expense that I can't deduct as a business expense. Make sure you can issue correct invoices, and let potential customers know upfront!
I think we already see some groups inside declining countries that have higher birthrate. Those might end up dominating in couple of generations if they don't change too.

I'm not really worried about either way. I'm long dead by then or dead somewhat earlier as not enough funds go to keeping me alive.
