No, it does not increase your risk of dying. Your risk of dying was 100% before the procedure and is 100% after it. We all die at the end with certainty. Risk of dying is only meaningful when you qualify it with a timeframe (let say next 5 years) or cause (let say getting terminal cancer).

Each image takes like 30 seconds to load. I was going to close the page, but luckily I waited. The webpage really needs a spinning loading icon to make people wait until the image loads.

Can you load the next image in the background? It will help except with the first image. (Perhaps you can load the first while the user is filling the form.)

I got 30% (informally known as "worse than random").

Perhaps in the result page you can show the images and a small explanation. I guess professionals don't need it, but I had no clue what I was watching. (The images with the big blobs are the chest and the images with a lot of small stuff are the guts???) (I got a small one. Is it a children or some scale problem?)

> An insurrection like January 6th would suceed in the UK because there is so much arcane bullshit where our constitution should be, we are solely dependent on the good will and character of the current government to run things as they are meant to be run.

The "arcane bullshit" is kind of irrelevant in both directions on this question; power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Same applies to the Jan 6th rioters. They seized the building but not the institution. They had no coordinated support network (although it was a spectacular achievement for opportunism) among Congress, or - critically - Trump himself. Nor had they bothered to secure sufficient police/military/paramilitary political support to turn holding a building into holding power.

As to whether it would succeed in the UK: this depends very much on "establishment" support. With that all sorts of things are possible, without it they aren't. The nearest might be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Wilson_plot_allegations , none of which amounted to more than talk among a few people in a private room. (See fictionalisation of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Very_British_Coup ).

Storming Parliament would be met with gunfire in the same way as Jan 6th was unless conspirators had bothered to secure the support of the security services beforehand. Conversely, it doesn't matter what the constitution might say if the security services aren't willing to back it up and decide to fire on demonstrators instead, Bloody Sunday passim.

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/decision-of-the-supreme... : as we can see, it was illegal, but not in a way that matters. Parliament agreed to an election, and the public decided to endorse Johnson, the Conservative party, and all prior and subsequent misconduct; the rest is history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_United_Kingdom_general_el...

I've always been really happy with Netflix. I was still happy with Disney+. But now I'm also paying for Amazon Prime. And then some of the things I want to see are on something called Paramount+, and I don't even know where to get that.

A single, cheap streaming platform is awesome. Fragmented streaming platforms that raise their prices while offering less content, is significantly less awesome.

Maybe I should cancel every subscription every time I'm done watching a show and only subscribe to a single streamer whose show I'm actually watching right now. They'd get a lot less money out of me that way.

They used to block DNS requests, then when secure DNS rolled out, they targeted SNI requests.

This link is pretty famous in some “conspiracy theorist” circles, specifically those interested in “Skyking”.

Skyking is a military radio transmission protocol, believed to be command-and-control in nature. Some believe there to be a correlation between the length of the encoded message/how many times the operator says “Skyking” and the DEFCON level/how close the US is to blowing shit up.

Blue Card is 1.5x gross average local salary. Rather annoyingly, googling this gives me a headline answer of "SEK 57,450 per month" that doesn't actually correspond to any of the actual results following this (many of which aren't for this year anyway).

Also odd (given that it's in the news), I can't get search results telling me what Tesla is currently paying, nor what higher level of pay the union is asking for.
More work than just opening your app. At least as long as you need just that single app. The ease of streaming disappears quickly when you need 4 different apps need to keep track of which show is where.

Indeed, and given the constraints that allow for SQLite also allow for running a local postgresQL instance, so no service discovery, complicated auth flows, etc, required, it should be even easier.

SQLite is fantastic, it absolutely should be used where appropriate.

I don't however understand those who argue that replacing the likes of PostgresQL / SQL Server with it is generally appropriate.

I'm logging traffic data (IP-pairs and packet+byte-count) into a SQLite database on a couple of machines, and what bothers me is that I'm unable to query them whenever I want. So the files end up being rotated whenever I want to inspect one closer.

While it's good to have a simple storage solution, it does have its drawbacks.

Then again, yesterday I was working a bit with MBTiles, which are SQLite databases with per-z,x,y-protobuf-blocks of vector data, and in that case it does make sense to use SQLite. Or the things browsers use them to store bookmarks and stuff.

I have "ignore this n+1 warning" in a few places in our unit tests for exactly this reason (details page, so n will never be more than 1). But these don't cause a problem on any database. So, again, not sure how this is a win for SQLite.
I know this sounds terrible, so please understand I don't agree with this approach, but.

I've had the thought that third world countries will end up being the testing ground for autonomous vehicles. Peoples' safety isn't taken as seriously in developing countries, and the local authorities are easier to bribe.

The cost for actually functioning autonomous vehicles will be some mistakes. It's up to society to decide whether the ultimate value is worth those accidents. The modern world has a history of offloading certain types of hazards (such as hazardous waste, dangerous factory conditions, etc) to the third world and I see this as another use case for that pattern.

Edit: damn, guess people don't like unpleasant truths. Downvotes aren't supposed to be a disagreement button!

> evidence of forcible entry would be sufficient

Why does it need to be forcible? Not yours is not yours even if the door is unlocked.
Moral justification: it’s never been on the consumer to know if a distributor has a license. We dont know if Walmart has a license to every media we bought there, we dont know if Netflix really has a license to every media we watched there, we dont know if the seeder on a torrent site has a license either. There is nothing preventing Walmart or Netflix from distributing via bittorrent as seeders either.

Not our problem, never was.

Turn off upload if you don’t have a license, enjoy.

It isn't. It's simple and functional and designed for its purpose of being a starting point UI bundled with the framework. You can extend with other admin interfaces really easily, but including that as default adds bloat for users that don't need that extra eye candy.
Unlike what many people think, the UK has a written constitution in the form of various laws. However, Parliament (more specifically, the House of Commons) can in theory alter any of these laws at any time. Such is likely only in case it would further solidify Parliament's power and preeminence. Brexit is the last time it happened, when the perceived subordination to the EU was removed.

It's admittedly a messy state of affairs and many important processes are indeed defined and motivated by convention and tradition only.
However, many of these traditions came about whenever the British were forced to deal with events or a constitutional crisis. For example, the monarch does not enter the Commons and Black Rod is admitted only after striking three times exactly because of such events.

January 6th is doomed in the UK for the same reasons it was doomed to fail in the USA: it was based on a flawed understanding how the government really works. The British would have doubtlessly dispensed with tradition and taken expedient measures, and those would become the new Tradition, regardless of whether it is subsequently embossed in Law or not.
I had one use case at my previous job. It was a bit of management software installed on premises / on physical or virtual servers (it was a bit old fashioned). The total installation involved setting up PHP, Apache, MySQL, and then installing the application itself, which also involved running some migration scripts written in shell scripts.

What I replaced it with was a Go binary with SQLite, where installing it would be a matter of installing the package or just the files and starting it up, it would take care of the rest.

SQLite is great for systems you don't control or have to set up, but maybe not for webservers. Common use cases are apps' internal storage (does not need to be shared with other applications or distributed), you don't want to have to install, configure and run MySQL or Postgres in those cases.
Welcome to forums, where all questions are asked for anyone to answer! :)
The most brilliant thing about it is how simple and plain it is. I was a dev team of one for years and basically got a mountain of free work because the admin panel exists and is generic enough not to be weird for internal company users.

The simplicity also makes extension simple. I could add a few features.
Some Japanese trains only stop very briefly at intermediate stations, so having less luggage also makes it easier to get off quickly. We had a close call when alighting at a tiny station and were glad our large case had been sent on ahead! (Turning around at the next stop would have been painful, since it only had one train per hour).

I had to do the latter once in Germany; there was plenty of time to alight, but everyone had piled up their luggage and were picking it out via an O(n^2) algorithm :(

Billionaire CEO: People 'didn't work as hard' when they were remote during Covid
>They are absolutely capable of looking at gestures.

But 'looking at gestures' isn't the same thing as having a real-time interpretation of the sensors. This, to the point of another comment above, may be conflating 'perception' with the larger problems of 'self-driving.'

Humans see a gesture and understand the meaning very fast because we process a lot of communication on the subconscious level. If you read the safety report of the Uber incident, it shows that the self-driving system could 'see' the pedestrian, but it struggled to effectively classify them. To be fair, that was years ago and another company, but we (as the public) don't have much insight into how good (or bad) the software is.

So 'seeing gestures,' 'correctly classifying gestures', and 'correctly classifying gestures in a time-sensitive manner' are varying levels of difficulty. The last one is the one that matters for safety-critical operations, and the requirements change with the velocity of the vehicle. IMO, there should be a regulatory framework that addresses a baseline of performance on these systems.

WebPush for iOS – demo site and sample code to implement your own
Now you can send push notifications from your site to your subscribers to iPhone and iPad.

I found out that implementation is a bit different and badly cowered with documentation, so created this repo.

---
TL;DR iOS WebPush specifics:

- user is required to add your site to the Home Screen of his iPhone/iPad

- manifest.json is required to set display: standalone

- you don't need to register at apple.com to receive something like GCM_SENDER_ID

- instead, you need to generate VAPID (pair of public and private keys)
I've heard this idea before, from college students 20+ years ago, talking about US politics, and intentionally "throwing away" votes on independent leftist candidates.

The goals I recall were to try to force Democrat leaders not to take leftist votes for granted and (more to this Extremist's Gambit theory) to rile up Democrat-inclined voters, by letting what they'd think of as an awful Republican candidate win.

This was before US political party polarization had seemed to hit the sports team extremist fandom levels that elected Trump.

In this particular case, I'm not aware that post-Trump things have yet worked out for the college student revolutionaries. Voters are polarized, in a very dumbed-down way, distracted with extreme sports team rivalry petty behavior, rather than getting much progress on the supposedly driving values.

The originally announced F150 lightening price was under $40k, and there were also some incentives IIRC. The cheapest ones are about $60k now. A lot of people were interested in the truck for the lower $30k's, but much more than that is a non-starter.

The marketing for these vehicles is also laughable. Instead of advertising real-world range for a 10k towing load, they talk about how it can power your blender.

The mustang mach-e is another flop. A lot of people rushed out to buy one during the supply chain crunch, values shot up, now Ford can't give them away.

At EuroBSDcon 2022, Allan Jude gave the presentation "Scaling ZFS for NVMe":

> Learn about how ZFS is being adapted to the ways the rules of storage are being changed by NVMe. In the past, storage was slow relative to the CPU so requests were preprocessed, sorted, and coalesced to improve performance. Modern NVMe is so low latency that we must avoid as much of this preprocessing as possible to maintain the performance this new storage paradigm has to offer.

> An overview of the work Klara has done to improve performance of multiple ZFS pools of large numbers of NVMe disks on high thread count machines.

[…]

> A walkthrough of how we improved performance from 3 GB/sec to over 7 GB/sec of writes.

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8sl8gj9UnA

When ZFS was created spinning rust was still the main thing, and SSDs were gaining popularity, so ZFS created "hybrid storage" pools:
