The answer to our problems is not less freedom. It should never be less freedom. I’m opposed of any law that restricts freedom of information. No matter the age. I think we need to do better on educating kids on online behaviors and we should hold social media companies accountable for addictive features but what we absolutely shouldn’t do is blame little Jenny and take away her access to groups and social interaction online.

Maybe that was fine? It's possible the customers were prepared to wait and would buy regardless, in which case why have extra staff to cover short gaps? It sounds like your personal complaint is that you had to spend your whole time at work working instead of standing around?

abc-Virtual-Background-Maker
The GitHub repository line/abc-virtual-background-maker is a standalone React application designed for creating and downloading virtual background images enriched with customizable text elements1. It has the following features:

Customizable text overlay: You can add your name, company name, or other information for video calls.

Adjustable fonts and text placement: You can customize fonts and text field positions according to your preferences.

Organizable themes: You can create collections of background images, similar to folders, for easy management.

Image storage option: You can manage your background images on the GitHub repo or load them from a local directory.

Mirror image option: You can download a reversed version of the image to accommodate video feeds that flip your background horizontally.

Image upload capability: You can also upload your own picture to create personalized virtual backgrounds.

Customizable appearance: You can change the UI with your organization’s key color and name for a consistent look.

The app is easy to use and does not require any backend setup. You can find more details on building and running the app in the README.md file.

Tesla Cybertruck has started a tour exhibition in many cities in China, attracting a large number of consumers to visit. The car has been launched and delivered in the U.S. market, but the time of its launch in China has not been announced yet. Tesla CEO Musk said it would be difficult for Cybertruck to be legally on the road in China.

Here is a website that introduces many interior features of Tesla Cybertruck. It's really helpful. cybertruckinterior.com
> They did not acknowledge and admit wrong doing.

Of course not. Wouldn't it just open them up to legal liability and additional lawsuits if they admitted wrong doing? It seems like saying "we have updated our plan and will now focus on an engineered solution" is exactly the kind of language I would expect from a large corporation that has made such visible failures as to be very vulnerable to lawsuits. I am not even sure they might have current pending lawsuits against them right now which could be made worse if they admit wrongdoing.
One of the challenges we see is providing self-service for team management. That includes letting an admin assign roles to their users, manage user lifecycle (eg through sso), and setting up security policies. For sure you can build the basics, but it becomes complex later on if you manage a lot of tenants or or more enterprise customers. For Auth only there are many solutions out there that work great. There's only a few solutions with multi-tenancy at the core, though, like https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel

> Now if someone has been contacting the airline and the bags cannot be found and the airline continues to sell those bags whilst the customer has been attempting to retrieve them then that's a problem.

I would assume that this is the case for a non-zero amount of the bags sold. The article talks abot specific items where the owner was known but the item was not returned.
That’s the real issue. As far as I can tell everyone who wants a robot vacuum already has one, and if they’re crappy enough that you’d upgrade, they’re also crappy enough that you’ll likely just give up.

If they work, you’d not feel the pressure to upgrade.
ILP is NP-complete.
10,000 hands in poker is nowhere even close enough to get a significant sample, unless you're playing extremely weak players where you just have a girnomous edge. But those sort of games are very uncommon. There were plenty of instances of strong, winning players going through swings that lasted hundreds of thousands of hands. A more reasonable baseline sample would be ~500,000 hands.

Frustrating is definitely a great way to describe the game, and emotionally crushing. Like imagine one is playing a 5/10 no limit hold'em game - so people are generally buying in for about $1000, unless they're from Spain. An extremely good player might have a longterm winrate of around 3bb/100 there. In 100 hands, there's every chance you'll be involved multiple pots, easily for thousands of dollars. And your long-term expectation is about $30 out of all of that. So you'll go through short term swings where you're up tens of thousands of dollars in very short periods of time, swings where you're down tens of thousands of dollars - all to get your $30 per 100. And you never become completely numb to the money, even after playing millions of hands.

Its an Americanism. “By accident” is more acceptable in the UK
Yes. Little Jenny should also be free to purchase and drink a bottle of whiskey, but only if her parents are sufficiently negligent.

I would've backed your argument up until a few years ago, but the science is coming down pretty hard now showing that social media use is absolutely detrimental to still-developing minds.
Use rsync over the network to copy stuff across from the old machine to the new machine if you are just using the main internal drives. Alternatively you can move stuff over with 'sneaker net' - USB drives.

If you have the capability of using extra drives on both machines, you can move the extra drive from the old machine to the new machine, holus bolus. Disconnect from one, reconnect to the other and you magically have 4TB of files moved over.

Plan your directory layout to minimise stuff being all over the place. Why have archive stuff (the 'write once, keep forever' stuff like music, photos, videos, source-code, etc, etc in your /home directory? That directory is for purely personal stuff and/or stuff that's a 'work in progress'.) I dedicate a whole partition or drive to that archive stuff. It never needs to be changed. If it's on a separate hard-drive or NVME SSD you can physically shift it from one machine to the next.

Do you have a script in your dotfiles to install and configure all your apps

Yes. That script copies across, whenever possible, the /etc directories that contain the relevant config files immediately after a new distro version is installed. Then when you actually install the app packages, the package-manager will use those 'old' config files.

I have some scripts that allow a complete rebuild from scratch, including the root re-installation, in around 2 hours total. (If you look ahead and keep a list of all the installed packages plus a copy of the /etc config files every day, You can install the distro from scratch, re-install the list of packages and rebuild that new installation to where you were last night with the old installation very easily.)

How often do people actually get promoted to something "more interesting" though?
It’s great result but probably not useful. Similarly to how interior point methods have better theoretical complexity than simplex for LPs, but fine tuned simplex in reality almost always wins.
I foresee a future where industrial engineering and CS are combined into some super-degree. There is currently a surprising amount of overlap in the OR side of things, but I'm shocked by how few IE grads can program their way out of a box. It's a shame, really.
> ...provided it doesn't have an attractive label with pretty colors.

...or flavors that someone arbitrarily decides are "marketed at children".

I used to occasionally enjoy a clove cigarette until US regulators decided that all flavored cigarettes, except menthol, were targeting children and banned them.

I also vaped nicotine for a year or two and loved the flavor variety, but regulators were making noise about taking the same approach there. I got tired of cleaning the goo off my car windshield so I kinda faded out of that out of laziness and have no idea where the laws went. At the time I was hearing talk of the flavor juices being sold separately from unflavored nicotine liquid.

Adults like things that taste good in the same way that they like cartoons and video games. Regulators all too often act like anything sweet and flavorful, bright and colorful, or just fun is inherently targeting children and it's incredibly frustrating.
I appreciate the shout out to jank, the native Clojure dialect on LLVM with C++ interop. :) Lisp has such a colorful history and Clojure, in my opinion, made it even more accessible and practical. People complain about Clojure's error messages, but, coming from C++, anything that doesn't corrupt memory and segfault is golden.

The only reason the tool does that is to support multiple versions of GTK. But the alternative you suggest, embedding a Wayland compositor in a widget, doesn't exactly seem to be the lightest-weight of options.

Then what would you be using? Windows certainly isn't a "polished product", and from all the problems I've read with people using Macs, MacOS doesn't seem to be either.
Guile is really designed with embedding into a program in mind. Gauche is definitely more geared towards their use case, but I think their issues with Gambit can probably be resolved with a few environment variables or command line options

A lot of that stuff is homebrewed with open source software, at least among the programmers I know.

This is interesting and relevant to me. Do you have any suggested links where I can read more about this aspect of wasm?
Isn't this an implicit risk anyone who purchases a 'smart' device takes? Every company will eventually discontinue their cloud service for a product line when it suits their needs. We have seen this countless times in technology and that anyone assumes that cycle will repeat with all these devices is fooling themselves.
Erdős numbers are kind of meaningless these days, as the internet has made widespread collaborations easy. For example, if you are an established person in algorithms or bioinformatics, your Erdős number is probably 3. There are a still some 2s around, and keeping your number at 4 or higher takes deliberate effort.
Great. Time for the EU to follow suit. This is actually one of the few sane things the UK has done since Brexit.
> This paper only has 2 authors.

So? I don't get the relevance of the author count.
This is really interesting but I disagree that this advice only applies to the "not smart" folks and likely applies to everyone, I like to think everyone is smart in their own domain until they are not the only smart person in the room.

If you ask a smart person do the grunt work for their own work, they will be scared,a little clueless and might feel its unnecessary too but someone smarter than them asks them to do all this for them. The then smart person now thinks that they could help the smarter person achieve something they themselves cannot, extending their own intellect which will help them become a little smarter.

I think the range of being smart of most people is very wide, extending all the time.
A group I've encountered that this could help are those without tenacity. I have smart friends who are hugely into tech who somehow remained unemployable even during the boom times in that industry.

I try and try to push them towards opportunities but they argue 'I just have no natural talent for that' and stop before they even get started.

Eg. they tried programming for 3 days, still hadn't fully groked it (because no one does in that amount of time!) and gave up with the above line. Somewhat frustrating to deal with as a friend and also clear cut in what's holding them back as an outside observer: they simply aren't aggressively fighting internal and external demons that tell them they aren't good enough for something. The mere suggestion that you can't possibly do something should fill you with burning determination and it's a positive emotion to feel in that scenario but they seem to just roll over.
I'm no expert, but I think more than these things go into it (and I suspect way more than a 2x IPC bump, but that's guesswork). Also more cache and I'm sure more and faster memory.
It's pretty important to note that those aren't per bag payouts but per bag liability limits, after you provide documentation for the value of the contents of the bag.

Thus allowing a company to buy "lost" bags directly decreases the incentive the airlines have to find the owner of the bag.

"but the ecosystem is the biggest problem by promoting magic."

This argument isn't entirely true anymore. The Ruby ecosystem has mostly moved away from meta-programming, and embraced classical OOP. Rubyists now tend to avoid `method_missing` and `const_missing` when possible, and abandoned the craze of making everything a DSL. The most meta-programming that Rubyists still use on a regular basis is defining `self.included` on modules in order to inject other modules. Also, Rubyists have embraced API documentation, such as YARD, in order to document and communicate any "magic" that might exist or occur.

It's because planes with this same issue are currently flying and it's an easily managed issue (i.e. don't use it when certain conditions happen).

Boeing was hoping to add another model to the list of planes currently grandfathered in, but decided not to do that and instead fix it, and then back-port the fix to the currently flying planes.

as long as it’s not spine or brain matter it’s probably okay. During the mad cow outbreak (BSE, the bovine equivalent of CJD) in the UK, they banned “beef on the bone” but not all beef.

Huh I figured I didn't have an Erdos number because I only incidentally became a second author on like one or two papers during my time in an Uni lab.

I do remember a conversation with one of the professors in my lab who wanted me to talk to one of my other professors (Odlyzko) about finding a paper topic. Which I thought was weird because it's a totally different field, but turns out Odlyzko has an Erdos number of 1, and that was the whole motivation, lol. Nothing came of it. But for some reason that interaction had me mis-remember that I didn't have an Erdos number at all.

But apparently anyone who's ever published an article anywhere has an Erdos number, so mine is 6.
A person's Stalin number is how many encounters is one away from Stalin. I worked with a person whose grandfather was a close associate of Tito, who had met Stalin in person.

I’m not refuting that. Only I don’t think we should be reacting with laws to restrict access. Who’s to say “what” a social media platform is? Does this mean discord as well? Steam? Roblox? Where do we draw the line on what is social media and what is social?

When educating anyone about anything we tell half-truths all the time. It's a necessary path to understanding.

(For example, we teach kids the earth is round, then we tell them it's an oblate spheroid, then we tell them even that is a approximation. )

In a forum like this, the message is often distilled because one doesn't know the makeup of the audience. The simple rule is a good starting point for entry-levels.

Nuance can be hard to convey, because its usually a combination of context and resources which determine how far down a rabbit hole you can go.

I agree that this happens all the time, in every field. I'm dumb when it comes to my car, so my mechanic gives me simple rules to follow. Doctors tell everyone to eat less, exercise more, but in truth you can eat too little, and exercise too much.

The -real- problem happens even a simplification becomes obsolete. We see this in security a lot. Someone wrote the company policies 20 years ago, and they're insisting on say no-paste-on-the-password field, because that's in the policy, even though its since been shown to weaken security.

From my experience in the tech industry I can say with utmost confidence that "not smart"/"talentless" people who are determined and hard-working lead to significantly better real world results than geniuses who are lazy, unmotivated or overall not action oriented. The vast majority of problems at any company are easy and don't need any big technological breakthroughs to solve. They are instead held back by (1) lack of effort or (2) lack of organization. If you can manage either (or preferably both) you will have a good career in the industry.
Iirc Boeing complained about Bombardier not being US and the end result is Airbus owns them and they make a plane in the US somewhere.
The exact same thing happened to a phpBB bass guitar forum I was a member of about 15 years ago. The owner just disappeared and we knew the bills weren’t being paid.

Hypthetically, I found a remote code execution vulnerability in that version of phpBB, read the configuration file to get the MySQL details, and then used mysqldump to download the database.

You can find exploits by just Googling or looking in Metasploit. They’re usually pretty simple query string things.

We set up a clone of the forum with a similar name just in time, then emailed the user database to tell them about the new site when the old one disappeared.

Sadly this caught the previous owner’s attention and he sent a cease and desist, despite his version of the site not existing any longer. So, we wiped the database, and then all the users just signed up again. It still lives on as https://www.basschat.co.uk/

Hypothetically.

I think you are swimming adjacent to usage-based pricing products like stigg.
They also keep track of usage, and though their focus is not on what it costs you, that follows readily from usage.

Are you thinking of expanding in that direction, or integrating with such products? I would look favorably at a product that combined pricing (them) and observability (you). You're solving basically the same problem; don't make me buy two products.
