Its not a game of aggregation, despite everything you have been told. Oneself is not humanity at large.

Ignore the jumped-up, self proclaimed authorities, the things they have taught you, the servile mentality and mental structure you are in.

Oneself is the only thing important in one's life. Every individual is infinitely valuable. It's simple too - just forget everything you know, and do right, by following truth and love. It costs nothing.

Odd that

dig A0.0,0.0/0.0,90.0.aerial @dns.toys

and

dig A0.0,0.0/90.0,0.0.aerial @dns.toys

both produce TXT "aerial distance = 10007.06 KM"

The equatorial circumference is 40,075.017 km (24,901.461 mi), while the polar circumference is 40,007.863 km (24,859.734 mi).

I guess there's no great harm in assuming the earth is hypothetically cow shaped, and it avoids that awkward series for shortest distance twixt points following an ellipsoids surface.

I’d love to do something like this but the problem is the cameras on this type of phone are all dreadful.

I think there’s a (small) gap in the market here for folks who want only basic messaging and music plus a great camera.

Apple’s assistive access got most of the way there but then they removed all the functionality apart from the shutter button from the camera :(
I think the situation in America is that in denser areas we do in fact have a diverse population. But we don’t have as diverse social and professional circles. Other parts of the world might not have any present diversity, so asking for more doesn’t really mean the same thing.

It literally is though. Sexual selection, emphasis on selection, is conscious. You choose half the genes of your descendants. Unless there's only one mating option. You also choose where you hang, and what you eat, which drives adaptations to that environment.
The core of the problem is micro dependencies. It seems in the Javascript ecosystem, developers have no awareness of costs of complexity.

When you wonder whether to add a dependency, you should ask yourself: What are the upsides and downsides of adding this dependency. One downside is always that by adding a dependency, you add a potential security problem, a potential point of breakage, and more complexity.

There are situations where these are well justified. If your dependency is stable, from a trustworthy source, and if it is a functionality that you cannot quickly implement yourself. But if you include a dependency that is effectively one line of code, the question answers itself: The costs of adding a dependency is completely unreasonable. It your list of dependencies grows into the 100s, you're doing something wrong.
If you can convince VLC to render the subtitles into a new video stream then it'll work. You're effectively creating a new video though. By default VLC just renders subtitles in the player, you need to encode/transcode them into the output stream.

Incorrect. The tapeworm can choose where and how in the gut it exists. It can choose how much it leeches from its host. There are always choices to be made that direct our evolution, for you, me, the wasp, and the tapeworm.

It has been shown many times that integration reduces bias, see studies on the contact hypothesis. Racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, and other examples of bias have been shown by many studies to be dramatically reduced in an integrated context. So long as many of these groups are subject to bias, discrimination, and worse, it is important to engender empathy and understanding among the majority class (white, heterosexual, etc), and move towards equity and justice as a society -- and integrated communities are one of the best ways to achieve this.

You can say, "I'm not 'shapeist', but I do live in a community with a strong majority 'square' population", which I'll readily believe -- but there's no substitute for actually talking and living and working with the "triangles" to achieve a deep level of understanding and empathy for their worldview, experiences, and needs.

Moreover, your arguments taken to the logical conclusion have been the basis of some of history's worst atrocities, and I would advise you to do more research before seeding this particular thought pool.

This reminds me of a neat little trick I used back then to "reliably" compute IP address of my machines for a dynamic DNS utility I wrote for myself.

OpenDNS resolvers (such as resolver1.opendns.com) will resolve myip.opendns.com to your actual IP address. Whether you get A or AAAA records depends on your connection. Since the IP addresses for these resolvers tend to be anycast IPs, I also want to believe they are marginally faster than pinging some central HTTP service that can go down at any time. (Of course, OpenDNS can vanish at any time, too, but I find the risk of that more tolerable than the countless "what is my IP address?" HTTP services out there)

Anyway, I remember hearing before that DNS originally was intended to be used with a broader scope of data than just domain names (hence the existence of TXT records and the like). This website greatly demonstrates how much utility you can get out of DNS.
Surprised to see Wiha mentioned here. The founder lived with his family in my hometown and my mother worked in his household back in the 60s at the age of 14/15. Definitely different times back then!

Edit: Did not follow Wiha and didn’t know that it became this big! When reading it, I only remembered stories of my mother how she took care of the children and was totally blown away to have such a personal connection from a seemingly unrelated story.

If their business is to be a safe place for confidential data it does seem a bit strange to be shocked that someone would dare deny their right to give away the confidential data for fun and profit.

If I had a contract with you to keep something of yours safe, and you found out I sold it, would your response be something like “behold the power of the free market”?
What are your experience and interests? Just like SEO, or search engine optimization, there exists the concept of LinkedIn profile optimization. It includes things like having a good profile picture, making sure your profile has a clear niche (fullstack, backend, embedded, etc), having clear bullet points for each of your company experience sections, with numerical values if you have the data ("increased performance by X% using A, B, C"), setting your location to a well-known tech hub, and so on.

Once I did all that, I've multiple gotten daily messages with very interesting offers. LinkedIn is a tool like any other, people simply have to learn how to use it.

The original discussion we were having was about Barry Boehm vs. Kent beck and not what you are moving to here.

> boehm's does not. instead he theorized about how to manage programmers,...

Absolutely not! "Software Engineering" is far far more than just "manage programmers". Either you are unaware of his work or are intentionally downplaying it. His wikipedia page lists his works/achievements for everybody to read/study. He was a first-class theorist in the fields of "Software Engineering Economics", "Software Process Methodologies" and "Software Engineering" to name a few.

I am well aware of the works of Djikstra/Hoare/Wirth/etc. and how their work is different from that of Boehm's/Parnas'/etc. For the purposes of our discussion i am lumping them under the term "the greats" to highlight their fundamental and complimentary contributions to the field.

Doesn't stable diffusion just start tiling things when you use large resolution sizes?

Not exactly tiled mind you, just "clearly repeating the same thing, with some variation".

Asking because when I was playing with it about some months ago, that's what it did. People explained (at the time) that it was because stable diffusion was trained on um... (from rough memory) 512x512 images.

Not the same as the fliphone solution and won't allow messaging, but you can use lockmeout.online to create a random phone unlock code with a specified timelock. Carrying around a locked phone without knowledge of the unlock code still allows you to use the camera, take incoming calls, and everything you can do via Siri (i.e. make outgoing calls). But its meant more for short-term distraction-free durations (days, not months).

In Vivo Amelioration of Age-Associated Hallmarks by Partial Reprogramming
Engineers in the 19th century would be amazed that we can build mechanisms with thousands of moving parts — functions, classes, packages — just by typing on a keyboard. Not only that but they also spin around in the order of millions to billions of times a second and every computer in the world can talk to any other computer. Most of these machines are the size of a bar of chocolate and a huge amount of the software is given away for free in an ecosystem of OSS, applications, and programming languages thriving on competition.

I see your point about a lack of modern day gumption in the physical world but I sleep at night knowing that what we do with software more than makes up for it.
Therapy is not a solution, it's just wasting time dwelling on the problems, which I'm already aware of and struggling to fix. There is nothing a therapist can tell me that I don't already know, and aren't already doing.

I don't self-harm, I'm not suicidal, I'm not even depressed. I'm just so late to the party that the chances of making it shrink ever smaller each year. No therapist can ever turn back time, so no therapist can ever help.
The two cases seem pretty dissimilar.

One is primarily companies not wanting to take any risk that IP could walk out the door through off hours work.

The other is that for sufficiently visible and controversial off hours activities, it’s hard to divorce the person 100% from their employer and that’s a PR problem and a distraction many employers are quick to remedy.

Just a small correction. They are not state-run but run by a sort of public trust. There are meticulous mechanisms that are intended to keep the public broadcasting system independent of government influence. These work to some degree, and are just ridiculous boongoggles in other cases. E.g. to be independent, they are not funded by taxes, but have their own non-government agency (GEZ) that collects broadcast fees. Nowadays every household has to pay, but even a couple of years ago you could opt out if you didn't have a TV or radio. The GEZ had a special squad of investigators to check if you owned a TV or radio.

All in all it works fairly well, but it is somewhat elitist and panders to a strange bouquet of special interests that strangely mirror the composition of its "neutral" governing body.

All in all though, German radio is pretty good and public television isn't dominated by ads and has high quality content, especially if you are into more high-brow cultural productions. And the news are excellent.
