Yes, I got caught out for misrepresenting my reason for visiting Canada once. My UK company provided tech support to UK government organisations and routinely sent people to Canada as part of this contract. All fine. They then sent me out to provide similar support to a Canadian govt org with the paperwork they provided to people attending conferences or sales meetings, etc. The immigration officers spotted the difference when they asked me a couple of simple questions that I answered naively. I was threatened with arrest and deportation unless I presented with the correct docs in 24 hours. It took me three days to get the right paperwork from the guys back home but because I was obviously a clueless techie being messed around by corporate the immigration people were okay with this.

How to use a Breadboard. How do breadboards work? (2021) [video]
hah what i did involved a db too, a string based query without sanitization introducing a possible sql injection. The input never came from a user and was sourced from a config file but i still should have known better. I learned that if you put it in a slide, no matter scope/purpose, it better be production quality because people are just going to copy/paste.
It's impacting me, but I was a little surprised to find out that Duo was "popular" enough for this outage to make it the front page of HN.
This can go either way. At my present company, HR budget eats the recruiter cost because it is seen as outsourcing an HR function.

Others may charge it back to the hiring department and it’s eating into hiring bonus budget. Otoh, many companies pay hiring bonuses out of the HR budget.
In some way, we are already on the "extinction path" if this experiment is to be applicable to human. We have rising anti-social behaviors and large drops in birth rates in virtually every country that satisfied the "utopian" conditions (i.e. food, shelter, safety, and recreation). One rat generation is around 120 days iirc (from birth to sexually matured) so 600 days are around 5 generations. In human terms, that would be around 125 years if we take 25 years as one generation of human. Around the second and third industrial revolution and around the time when we actually started to have "utopian" conditions in many countries. Fit pretty well I think.

The crowding behavior around the feeding area is pretty fun to see. It draws a nice parallel to the large economic centers like SF and NY. You can even argue that, like the rats, the places with the most crowding are where there are more deviant behaviors and where the first signs of problem occur.

It is quite easy to forget that deep down we human are still animals. We just have a very rigid and extremely complex social systems. But instinctively, we may behave like rats if circumstances allow it.
The detective character you're describing sounds a lot like the character from the Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets series. I've linked a video but not sure if it's the exact game you're thinking of

I can appreciate that GNU parallel exists. I always use `xargs -P0` in my own work, though.
Bamboo definitely does.

Anecdote: I live in Texas. We had ~10 feet of bamboo against our entire back fence, something like ~70 feet. Bamboo isn't native, but grows very fast and provides a lot of visual cover, which is nice. In past years mosquitoes have been real terrorists, you could often have multiple landing on you at once. Nothing we tried made much of a dent except good bug spray all over the body and clothes, and even that wasn't perfect. They were relentless, often landing even on our dog, which surprised me given that he's a lab mix and covered in fur. Guests always commented on how bad it was.

This year we had a backyard office built, and ended up clearing ~10x40 feet of the bamboo for the office. There has been a massive difference in the number of mosquitoes since the clearing. We often go outside for a long time without bug spray at all, I never see them on the dog any more, and guests no longer notice the bugs at all. And we didn't even remove all the bamboo - we still have about 10x30 feet off to the side, and neighbors to both sides and behind our backyard still have some.

I didn't realize there was anyone that thought the box store $15 cables were actually good-enough?

My understanding of them was (and assume still is) they sold two classes of cable: high-spec, brand-name "gold-plated", and dogshit-quality maybe just meets minimum-spec garbage. Both were way overpriced (aka: high-margin), and this is the entire business model: sell the TV at razor-thin margin, then make all the profit on over-priced cables.

Their $15 cable should really be $2, if that. Their $150 alternative should actually be maybe $30. Elsewhere you could pay $15-20 to get a high-end cable that was somewhere between 90 and 110% the quality. This is what I told to my friends/family.

I've definitely had people try to sell me cables but I've just politely declined and can't recall anyone being pushy about it.

And you must admit the "gold plated" thing was insane for a while. At the time when toslink was the rage, you could buy gold-plated fiber-optic cables. I also remember seeing an in-store display comparing cables their high-end HDMI cable to an alternative.. which of course was maybe-24awg dogshit composite cable. It's just so sleazy.
YouTube Is Still Tracking Kids Through Its Ads, Study Says
Original comment was talking about Hyperacusis, and it sounds like for them it's way worse than Tinnitus, causing them physical pain just going outside for a walk. I have Tinnitus also and going outside is actually soothing for my ears, as the ambient noise of nature masks the ringing a bit.

Tinnitus does interfere with my ability to concentrate from time to time, though. Not great for a job where concentration is required most of the time.

I can change gears in well under a second when moving. My car requires the clutch to be depressed when the car starts, meaning that I can actually ahve the car started in reverse in under a second. Waiting another 4 seconds is crazy.

Well, how much are you paying? No mention of the wages in this article. Inflations blew people's wallets up. If you want them to do grueling hard work, you're going to pay for it, especially now.
> I have people in my network use Snowflake with a total data size of 50GB!!! It makes my blood boil.

I keep a whole bunch of small-ish datasets in Snowflake because it means I don't have to do all the work to janitor my own postgres install. I go with the db someone else maintains for me that I have, not the one that I wish I had.
My reaction's still 'duh' to be honest - you wouldn't necessarily want to do much more of things like watching videos than you were doing already, but the social interaction is replacing something.

At least assuming it's serious enough that you're stuck at home recovering - I'm realising as I write that my reading of it was quite biased by the image. Otherwise I would not think on reading 'inflammation' that it was particularly serious.

If they studied people with slightly swollen ankle or whatever, but walking about, at work, etc. and found a significant increase in their interest in socialising (social media just being the most easily measured form) that is pretty interesting.

I suggest you take a step back and think about how your comments come across so as not to unintentionally come off more harsh than you want.

In fact what I was replying to was someone saying it was an event organizer's "duty" to write invitation letters for conference attendees for Visa purposes, which it is objectively not. The country is irrelevant, the economic development of the country is irrelevant.

> are you trying to say a GD is not “reputable”?

In the capacity of a psychiatrist? No, a primary care physician is not a trustworthy substitute for a psychiatrist. Mental health disorders should not be addressed by a PCP, even if they have the ability to prescribe you medication for it. You should seek treatment from mental health clinics that almost always have both psychiatrists and therapists on staff or work closely with other clinics that do.

Furthermore, once more: Numerous primary care physicians excessively prescribed opioids like candy. Acquiring a medical license does not automatically equate to being reputable in all fields.
I have to wonder, if an in-depth explanation is needed to say why it's bad, then is it really that bad?

Are we in agreement that social media is bad for us or not?

I'm a little confused as to why anyone is still using it, why people are still defending it, why we're all still talking about it and why I'm getting more (not less) random texts from friends / colleagues pressuring me to get back on to big social platforms.

What are the motivations for people to be daily activate users these days? Honestly just curious.

Every time my CEO speaks in an all-staff meeting, the subject is growth. Growth is the main theme and entire substance of the meeting.

I think he is insane. So is anyone who is in favour of perpetual growth in a finite environment.

Apparently, our political leaders are also in favor of perpetual growth. So is the media.

They should all be locked up in an institution for the criminally insane.
This demonstrates such a poor misunderstanding of how elections and elections equipment work, that this can only be assumed to be a fundraising stunt.

I've been a poll worker in Ohio off and on for 3 years, and at no point does any polling location send any voting data over any network of any kind. There's literally nothing to hook a router or access point up to that contains any votes.

* At least in my county, the electronic pollbooks in each voting location ARE networked to the other pollbooks in that location so that we can see WHO voted, etc. but this is just the pollbooks, which is necessary to prevent folks from voting twice by trying to check in at a different pollbook. Each electronic pollbook is also backed up by a paper pollbook, and we reconcile all the totals several times a day to make sure that we have an accurate count of how many ballots have been issued and how many ballots are in the ballot box.
Hopefully we'll be able to sign up and have them send us one for free so we can use it for things other than monitoring our local polling place.
What they do at my vet is do an oral exam & any indicated work if/when the animal is put under anesthesia for another reason. For instance one of our dogs has been needing 1-2 surgeries a year for the last couple of years (mast cell tumors) and has wound up with a variety of tagalong dental work.

It's not perfect but seems like a happy medium. In particular it scales a bit with age as older animals are going to be more likely to need such surgeries.
I bet they are using crypto and AI, too, for the cyber. It's buzzwords all the way down. Grifters gonna grift...
I don't care about that as much as never hearing silence, or near silence, without a constant ringing sound. Man do I miss the "sound" of silence.

And no, that one Tinnitus trick of thumping the back of your head with your fingers that everyone shares doesn't really work for that, at least not for me. For me it just turns the volume down on the ringing a slight bit, and even then only lasts about 30 seconds, which isn't really worth it.

Perusal of online help guides (https://www.lifewire.com/when-aol-mail-account-is-deactivate...) suggests 90 days to deactivation, then 90 days to deletion was a known standard at some point. The Wayback Machine only archives the AOL help link to 2022, so it may be a recent policy change.

Regardless, you're quite correct that AOL has responsive customer service relative to Google. Unfortunately, Jeff is also quite correct that this is a security exploit vector, one AOL is notoriously vulnerable to (https://www.theregister.com/2015/10/19/cia_aol_hack/). So if you're using AOL, you're more likely to be able to recover your email but also more likely to get hacked by some stranger if they decide to target you specifically.

>a personal computing device is fundamentally an extension of your own self into the digital world, functioning similar to how you use your limbs to interact with the physical world

well maybe that's the issue. I see it more like operating a car than me acting as some avatar renovating my house. Ideally there'd be a smooth flat empty road, but there will be bumps, annoying people, billboards, and sketch sand roads. It's all a part of the journey, and in many cases I'm riding through a pre-defined world.

At least I can remove more of these in the ditital world.

I can't answer this question generally, but one example that is very close to home is bamboo. (Actually, it's no longer close to home. We moved, and despite being very close to our old house, have an order of magnitude fewer mosquitos.)

Backing Up My Personal Files with Rclone
I agree, and I think I might have even used this argument before. ;)

It does scale solely for GNU Parallel though for now, and very few other people have taken the same tack as GNU Parallel’s citation notice. Despite the potential for a slippery slope, it doesn’t seem to be happening. I’d speculate that if it did start to happen, then GNU would change their stance on what’s allowed by the license, perhaps.

Not sure that's true.

I've seen this sort of analogy before and I don't think it's the right one here: if I get a Ferrari, I know _exactly_ what I'm getting. I'm getting a really fast, really beautiful car.

I'm not too familiar with Snowflake, but I've suffered under Databricks on and off for about a decade now, and as far as I can tell, it's just a more expensive, closed way to do what I could do a lot faster and a lot easier if I didn't have to work around the obstacles that Databricks puts in my way that don't have any value other than being something that Databricks can charge my employer a ton of money for putting in my way.

> But that's the thing ... that isn't realistic and, hence, not compelling story.

Huh? Come on, now. It's far more realistic than a wizard learning to cast spells, FFS.

If it's not compelling it's only because the OP's precis went into far too much detail about actual technique for an actual story. The Princess Bride would not have been compelling if the movie actually showed Westley learning each of the fencing techniques he refers to in his duel with Inigo.

An actual character development arc would be something like this:

Hi,

Yeah, I agree with you. I'll be updating the homepage to explain what it really can offer and does. Maybe some example templates or projects that publicly available without login / register.

It's a javascript app (React to be exact) and already created. Every user is technically using the same app but their projects are private to them. Server side is for MVP purposes handled through Firebase. If product catches some attention I have plans to create it's own backend for better performance and functionality.

MQTT Studio requires you to use publicly available MQTT broker. Sadly right now it can't access to private brokers. So MQTT studio is connecting to broker it does not creates a broker or host.

Thank you for your interest and good questions :^)
