infozip also has problems with japanese characters. I ended up solving the problem with the python zip module. considerably more awkward to use but it offers a lot of control over the extraction process.

I did not look it very closely so I don't know what exactly infozip was getting incorrect in my case. but I did find this interesting bug report from 2012. Apparently a lot of encoders are sloppy about the spec and will leave header fields zeroed rather than set them. and if infozip reads a header that says the zipfile was created by dos(a zero) it believes it and extracts it using a dos compatible encoding.

I wish. Reddit jumped the shark years ago but I did look into it at one point. There's a lot of factors you wouldn't anticipate that will trip you up. Not the least of which is quality moderation. Your site will either die under the crush of awful free speech, or live long enough to run out of visitors. It's a tough balance Reddit didn't have to face as harshly in a different time.

Are there AQI forecasts? I'm trying to figure out when the air quality is supposed to improve. Is that information available?
> the framework grows ..

I've seen too many teams fight Rails (in particular) to implement new product features to agree with this. The framework never grows, it stays the same size and eventually becomes a straitjacket for the product.

Like I said, though, this isn't a reason to not use a framework at the start. As long as everyone realises that at some point it'll need to be rewritten.
Agreed. A bunch of tech professionals I work with, in private, talk about how scary AI is but nobody dare say anything in public as to hurt the bottom line. Add that to climate change...

Absolutely! They should organize and stop posting until Reddit agrees to pay them a fee. Do you think this will work?

Out of a set of 30 or so LEDs, I've had five fail.

Four of those are spots in either recessed or exposed cans, and I suspect temperature or moisture may be involved. (Another set matching three of the failed, in near-identical fixtures ... are doing fine.)

One was a stick-type bulb used in a closet which seemed to fizzle.

In all cases I suspect it was electronics rather than the LED elements themselves which failed.

Three-way LEDs are hugely superior to incandescent 3-way bulbs, which always seem to lose at least one filament within a few months. The LEDs are going strong years on.
For the casual bystander with crypto parked in Coinbase vaults, and maybe some eth staked - what's the consensus among those more knowledgeable? Move assets now or just stay the course?

It doesn't look like anyone is going to outright lose assets - but perhaps not the able to withdraw for some period of time?

Communities went dark in protest due to reddit not shutting down vaccine conspiracy subreddits during the pandemic forcing reddit to act.

They also went dark when reddit failed to properly vet a new hire who had been a politician with a weird link to bad acts involving a child, forcing reddit to remove them.

There have been other protests forcing responses too. I remember one involving poor moderation tools, and another involving the BLM protests.

In 1997, the Power Mac 6500 shipped with MechWarrior 2 and Descent 2.

Between 1999 and 2005, Bugdom, Nanosaur, Cro-Mag Rally and Otto Matic by Pangea as well as Deimos Rising shipped as built-in platform games on various iMacs and iBooks, the G4 Cube, and the eMac. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 came with one model of eMac. Nanosaur 2 and Marble Blast were bundled with later iMacs, iBooks, eMacs and the Mac mini. [3]

You should be able to look in the manual and see the maximum MERV your forced air system is rated for.

MERV 3 is really really minimal filtering. Your furnace almost certainly is designed to take better filters than that.

My experience from west coast wildfires and taking indoor air pollution measurements is if I put 3 air purifiers in one master bedroom and keep the windows and doors closed I can go from code purple air outside to code orange air inside… So it’s not perfect, but it does kind of work if you’re in a situation where you can’t integrate a positive air pressure system.

What if the goal isn't to reduce measurable air particles, but remove more mold spore "attempts" from adhering to surfaces in your home? Could positive pressure be superior in that case?
Windows isn't unusual for the CRLF translation part. Unix based operating systems, such as Linux, MacOS and the BSDs, do something similar. When writing to a terminal device, which can be a console device, the terminal driver performs CRLF conversions and other special character handling depending on the terminal settings. If an application wants to disable these character operations on a terminal device it has to explicitly turn them off, which is a bit like using _O_BINARY on Windows. CRLF conversions aren't done in the application's stdio code, but the effect is similar to a Windows console fd.

When HDDs used to be the norm, that would raise an obvious audiovisual signal that something isn't right. Unfortunately with almost everyone using SSDs these days, and the loss of activity indicators[1] on a lot of machines, it would be barely noticeable.

Relatively few engineers in the US are licensed. It's fairly common with civil engineering because at least moderately senior engineers are signing off on drawings for regulators. But mechanical/chemical/etc. engineers are not in general licensed overall--maybe 10-20% are the numbers I've seen.

And that's not even counting all the jobs like sales engineer, mud engineer (oil business), etc. that are really more engineering-adjacent jobs (if that).

When I took the engineer in training exam--never had a reason to follow through on a PE, it basically required things like a four-year engineering degree, working under someone for some number of years, passing the PE exam, and presumably signing code of ethics, etc. For certain jobs, it is pretty much a requirement past some level but mostly doesn't matter a lot.
Rust has workspaces, which is a collection of packages (a Cargo.toml and related source files). Workspaces are still pretty underpowered, but they do have shared dependencies, compilation artifacts, version numbers, and CLI management. A lot of this is new (1 year old).

that doesn't make sense. there is clear gas with 110 octane, and most clear gas is 92 octane. clear gas does not have ethanol nor lead.

there are other octane boosters that don't raise the price of food.

editing to add that other octane boosters don't drop mpg efficiency nearly as much as ethanol does. ethanol also has a much lower energy content, meaning a much lower mpg.
It would be helpful if you labeled the top curve (outside air) and the lower bars (inside air).
This is from 2010, so there is some improvement. Namely his team has developed a lot of compiler fuzzing tools and gotten bugs fixed in mainline compilers, but for UB issues in your own code, `-fsanitize=undefined` is a better workaround than `-O0`.
I have air filters in all my rooms. I guess my questions are:

1) What should I do to get up to PPS? Should I just run a tube to their inlets through my window?

2) How is heating / cooling handled? The weather here swings wildly. I'd be reluctant to pump hot or freezing air in. Might work well in spring / fall which are peak allergy season, though.

3) What's a good way to monitor air quality on the cheap?

I'm pretty anti-crypto, but tested the water with Voyager USDC because of the absurd APY. Took my money and ran when Celsius hinted at having issues, luckily.

Funnily enough there was some amount, less than a dollar IIRC, left in Voyager when they folded. I received an email telling me it was being taken over by...Binance. Never bothered to login and even check it.

Guess it really is scams all the way down.
“I told them that I would accept the resignation as he wished but would like him to contact me first to confirm his safety.”

Am I being jaded or does anyone else doubt the employer's motivation was entirely altruistic? I mean your employee pays a third party to avoid ever having you in their life again, and you show up at their fucking parent's place?

“I thought that if someone cannot resign without using this kind of service, it is their own loss and that they are an unfortunate personality who sees work as nothing more than a means to get money.”

Isn't that why most people work though?

> The largest shareholders of all of the above are the same: Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street. Combined, they make up ~25% ownership of all of them.

As a CEO, why would sharing 25% of shareholders with another corporation stop you from exploiting their weakness, increasing your market share, increasing your stock price and in the end, increasing your bonus? You're a publicly traded corporation, your contract is public, your bonus mechanic is public, these 25% don't have any other means of control over you.
Coinbase acts like this because it was founded from day one to serve the US market, and everything that it has done has been to invest millions of dollars a year into complying with US law. Coinbase has only in the past couple months, started expanding internationally so they don't die immediately in case the US regulatory system decides to cannibalize them.

Binance acts like this because complying with US law is ridiculously expensive. Binance cares most about serving the remaining 95% of humanity that does not live in the US. Maybe seven years or so ago they really started shifting things around so their US services are expendable, and could be jettisoned at any moment if US regulators start biting.

Both are entirely reasonable strategies, and it's why I, as a US citizen, moved everything I had in Binanace away 7 or so years ago, and only ever do anything custodial with Coinbase. Back in the before times, I had accounts across multiple global exchanges so I could run arbitrage bots etc, but now it's basically Coinbase or nothing when it comes to custodial exchanges.

Also from TuongVy Le(@TuongvyLe12), former Chief Counsel at SEC:

"Let’s be clear: the @SECGov complaint doesn’t mention this, but there is currently NO way for a platform like @coinbase to register as a securities exchange, broker, or clearing agent. That’s why they’ve been begging
@SECGov for YEARS to give them a path to compliance.

Instead of working constructively with U.S. market participants to come up with a working model, and knowing that Congress is actively considering legislation to do the same, SEC sues. No allegations of fraud, just accusing @coinbase of failing to do the impossible."

Just convert whatever you want to Bitcoin and Ethereum first in a decentralized exchange like any AMM, and then sell the Bitcoin or Ethereum on a fiat route. Assuming you even want fiat, but when you do you can.
If you can't exchange it for fiat, its USD value is going to decrease - bad.

If you can't exchange it, payments that don't use fiat might be developed - good, imo.

Why do you think this makes it a net good?
