It’s trade off at all cost, according to you. Again, just because current tech works for you, it doesn’t mean it should stop there. I don’t understand why you’re so triggered that someone may get bigger battery. And why 500 is ok why 700 isn’t?

Agree, yeah!

But I guess this guy meant more like, some sort of "sophistication" like in the way that brute-force is an attack on SHA3, but no one has said publicly any better way to hack it!

Although for brute force to yield a successful hack, it must be sophisticated, by definition, otherwise it would be infeasible. And in this case, I think the guy qualifies, because he: 0) was successful, 1) reduced the brute force possibilities, and 2) rose to the logistical challenge of implementing them. Haha! :)

I don't get how the political system can work like this, we keep denying laws that are absolute dogshit. The politicians give them a makeover and try again. They only need a yes once and we need a no every time.

Makes me question democracy really, it seems fundamentally broken when the peoples voice is supressed over and over. Same stuff happens in Sweden, but with other kinds of laws.
That's only the case for people who are moderately short. The rest of us who have teen-length leg limbs need to put the chair all the way up to use a regular 30" tall desk, and at that point the legs are now too far away.
> the huge amounts of water vapor from the eruption may have a small, temporary warming effect,

I think that the linked Research Letter is what I was referring to in my previous comment. I do not see anything implying I misinterpreted.

Are you suggesting that the quoted comment by the JPL author refutes or weakens my takeaway - that (1) this volcano unlike others should warm the planet, (2) it probably is having an effect already, and (3) it will probably last for several years?

Notice this, a little higher on the page:

"The excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano, on the other hand, could remain in the stratosphere for several years."

And of course, you can click through to the source.

"∼10% of the stratospheric burden"

That's a hell of a lot.
Democracy makes a lot more sense if you see it as an emergency escape valve to prevent violent revolution (because you assume anyone willing to violently revolt would be willing to vote).
Yeah, I would never want these exceptions to apply to smaller companies.

Yeah, touche.

Antitrust just seems like an intractable problem in the current political climate, while punching large-cap-only holes in 230 (even if for the wrong reasons) feels reachable.
So much of the same? The site is already buggy.

I would be cautious or even distrustful of using anything from Oracle. VirtualBox components come under three different licenses - GPLv2, personal use & evaluation license, and an enterprise license. Their VirtualBox license FAQ [1] gives them enough leeway to change future licenses at will. If an exploit is discovered in your old VirtualBox and they've changed the license, you're out of luck.

Be specially careful when installing their extension pack, as it is an evaluation license.

We've moved our development to KVM and Virtual Machine Manager on Linux [3] and UTM on Mac [4]. There are other options to run your VM, such as Multipass [5] or VirtualBuddy [6].

On a digressive topic - it was fun migrating our legacy application server stack from Oracle Java (old & poorly considered decision) to OpenJDK, thanks to their license [2].

'Fortunate Accident' May Yield Immunity Against Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Had a similar thing happen. It was later in the day, really hot, on a weekend, with high humidity and a crying baby in the house. My regular A/C company was closed, so I called another one. The person quickly diagnosed the issue and said he could "fix it for $450. I just wanted it fixed so decided to let him do it. But he then started acting shady, so I told him I'd take a picture of the old part before he offered to "dispose of it safely". He didn't seem to quite like that. I figured out why: it turns out it was a $15 capacitor. Oh well, lesson learned.

If he at least said, "look, it's $250 to come after hours", I wouldn't have minded that, maybe he had a crying baby at home too. But he made it sound like the part was expensive and I was "extremely lucky" he just happen to have this unique and special part in his truck. And then, to make it worse, he installed the capacitor without taking it out of the cardboard box it came with. That would have ensured the capacitor would overheat soon enough, so I, as sucker would be calling him again. Pretty sneaky. I opened the unit the next day and installed the part properly and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
The motivation for the project was mostly trying to see if a chat service could be run on low cost hardware, hence the reason for targeting RPi Zero.

I would love to see other federated services running on home CE devices, but I don't see this happening with the execution requirements of services like mastodon or matrix. While those services are great and I use them, I think they lend themselves more to group hosting vs personal hosting.

New App ThreadLink Lets Users Find Twitter Followers in Threads
Hey,

I, along with a friend, recently built a tool called ThreadLink that solves one of the biggest problems in switching from Twitter to Threads: Importing your following.

ThreadLink lets users easily enter their Threads username, connect their Twitter Account, and see the users they're following on Twitter who've connected their account. Users also get notifications when someone they're following on Twitter joins the app and connects their account!

Check it out: https://threadlink.app

Let me know below what you think of the app or if you have any feature requests!
Counterpoint: Perhaps peer socialization, particularly in the form found in typical schools, isn't all that valuable.

I'd argue that what serves one best in life is learning to function at an adult level with other adults. Most homeschoolers I've known spent substantial amounts of time in adult company every day. Mixed-age peer groups (as seen in homeschool co-ops) can also create a natural dynamic and expectation for the student to both be a mentor and be mentored (relationship skills one should know how to cultivate as an adult).

Conforming as an 11 year old to the culture and social behaviors created by other 11 year olds in a space where a few overstretched adults struggle mightily (if with good intentions) to create a positive environment is...not an optimal use of that child's time.

Not that most homeschoolers aren't also hanging out with same-aged peers too. Much time is saved by not having the administrative overhead of a school. Lots of homeschoolers hang out with their friends all the time like any other kids do. Having buddies over and gaming until 3am is just as fun either way.

Fully acknowledging that I'm deep in anecdotal territory here and that these are sample sizes where all outcomes will be well-represented.
Not to be rude, but the purposes of political sciences is easy to grasp and important. From structuring aid and refugee program, to making policies that affect our every day lives, to researching and working on issues related to economic competitiveness, treaties, and resources. you can read latest articles to get some ideas.

Hosted Looker and many other tools are getting direct DB access these days and I'm sure you use products that do it. As an engineer I'm not a fan of it and it can often cause problems so it's best to point them at read replicas but that is not always how companies set them up.

> First is figuring out if we’ll need a safety net for the first wave of automated workers, or if more jobs will be quickly created.

Part of the problem is that people whose entire professions have ceased to exist, aren't always in a position to pivot to something else. If a skilled profession disappears entirely, those early in their careers can go back to school/training and switch to something else. But even if successful, they're usually on the hook for the cost of that education.

Enter into the equation those within, say 10-15 years from retirement, and do we honestly expect them to pickup student loans at age 55 that still won't be paid off when they're in their 80s?

Instead, they'll end up in a lower or un-skilled profession, their quality of life will permanently decrease, and our cultural response is to say "well, sucks to be you."

And then we wonder why so many people have resentful, crab in a bucket mentalities.
Not really. Realistically you can set PATH to an empty string, and block execution everything that isn't invoked using a hardcoded path.

western astrology is broken, unreliable and overly complex. because it is based on erroneous assumptions due to early mistranslations from Sanskrit into Greek and Latin, it has required so many patches it's worse than useless.

This would never work for me. Sometimes I attend talks to look for specific information, which is often a lot more than three things. Sometimes I attend just to learn about a new subject, or for some inspiration. Often, it's not a talk but a dialogue, and many interesting points come up during the Q&A. If I needed answers for a specific point, I'd ask the question.

Imposing such an artificial and rigid structure when attending a talk will stress me out, get me less, and turn me off. I still remember my student days when the best lectures or talks served to inspire, and I'd often dig deep into a subject because of that.

That would be the harvest. Funnily enough, Death Metal Englism is also written in THE VOICE.

And there's a second amendment contingent on the left now too. Organizations like the socialist rifle association (SRA), Pink Pistols, John Brown Gun Club (JBGC) and several others. It's far from the majority position left of center, but there's plenty of folks who recognize the disproportionate impact gun laws have on minorities, and the difference in arms between an increasingly violent right and the minority groups in America.
> The modern Republican party of small government and low taxes is long gone.

A better way to think of the Republican party platform is "anti-reactionary". This descriptor makes more sense for how they seemingly jump from topic to topic. Which, credit where it is do, is probably fine in the long run in a functional political system where they can act as ballast against excesses.

But as a weirdness of our time, foreign and economic policy between the two parties are pretty largely aligned so if you represent a fluid anti-reactionary platform, the only thing of value you can provide are culture war issues.

Update on the votes/comments/mean values: turns out that the votes and comments counters were also bad, given my accumulator code (I'd thought this was a reporting issue). The story counts are legit however.

(I was counting "stories" as both "votes" and "comments", which is obvious on eyeballing the values. The difference between "++" and "+= votes / += comments". Sigh.)

Just want to add that you can directly manipulate LINQ expressions. It might be more complex, but you can basically transform an IQueryable into another one. And the result can be used everywhere you can use LINQ.

You can also take advantage of ExpressionVisitor to manipulate expressions.

If you’re in C#, it seems more natural to work with LINQ expressions.

That will help a bit, but it's not going to fix it.

Using GPT4 and Code Interpreter, I have asked it to write a function and test it, given some inputs and expected outputs. The function returned different values when it tested it, but it lied and said it worked as expected.

You need to read the code and the test outputs yourself. Or maybe have it write an automated test?

Despite this, it seems quite promising. I expect that in a year or two, some IDE's will come with a useful pair programming feature.
