Yeah, always wise to keep a couple of bank notes in your wallet, just in case.

The worst I see these days is people who carry neither cards nor cash, just their phones because "anyway I have Apple Pay/Google Wallet for contactless"... and then they use that to buy an electronic ticket on their phone for their commute to work. The day they lose their phone far from home they are instantly stranded and homeless, and they can't call anyone for help because they don't actually know anyone's phone number.
Not true for the EU.
Every invoice needs to be digitally signed.

If the computer is down, no sale can happen.
That's why I purposefully try to pay most things with cash.

Yes, I get it, paying with card is easy and kinda nice, but if cash goes away entirely, we have an even bigger problem. So I will be the one who uses it in the hopes to have a miniscule impact on it not going away as fast.

Same thing goes with firefox and not letting the webkit mafia take over.
I do this. I have a phone, an iPhone SE original, that I use very occasionally but I rarely use it except when some service requires it. But when I go out, it's at home. I've given up on smartphones. I think on a societal level, they make life worse. (On average, of course there may be exceptions.)
Pytorch is both faster in terms of performance and ease of development.
Curios that she didn't try to reduce her sentence by incriminating others. Furthermore she outright refused to testify at all during the proceedings.
Even if it is, this is the tactic many software companies use: provide annoying behaviour that benefits the company, and then claim its a bug. Bottom line: companies should be held responsible for their behaviour, even if the behaviour is caused by bugs. Because ultimately, even bugs are part of the program, and since software affects the world so greatly, there should be a zero tolerance policy towards bugs that cause breaches of privacy.
Fascinating! The made to order system has them cook the patty "fresh" as shown here:

Just to be clear, are you trying to mimic the burger as it was made before this new system was introduced? Because that was just a frozen puck...
And it's not only sofas. People still conflate price with quality, and this is massively exploited.

You can see that from the number of "small brand" insta-entrepreneurs. People will readily shell $80 for the latest trendy item they saw in a sponsored insta-ad, believing they're buying a branded product. In reality, it's the same $20-$30 item sold on TEMU, with a brand name slapped on it.
Totally. I worked on the electronics in robot arms for a while and EVERY TIME there was a failure in the field - it was the cables.
Given the context, I don't think the easiest explanation is he killed himself. There's a pattern of whistleblowers dying.

No you still don't seem to get the point. I'm saying the *absence* of gunpowder residue means something, I'm not saying the presence of it means anything.

Gary Webb vibes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Webb

> Webb is best known for his "Dark Alliance" series, which appeared in The Mercury News in 1996. The series examined the origins of the crack cocaine trade in Los Angeles and claimed that members of the anti-communist Contra rebels in Nicaragua had played a major role in creating the trade, using cocaine profits to finance their fight against the government in Nicaragua. It also stated that the Contras may have acted with the knowledge and protection of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The series provoked outrage, particularly in the Los Angeles African-American community, and led to four major investigations of its charges.

> Webb was found dead in his Carmichael home on December 10, 2004, with two gunshot wounds to the head. His death was ruled a suicide.
That’s hilarious. I’m pretty sure every grocery store and most restaurants keep the old carbon copy credit card machine thingys to take payments when the power/computer/internet is down. Years ago I had to use one to take a payment during an internet outage.

I'm working on refactoring some sites in ECSS right now. I can report back when done if you care enough! As of now, you can look into the ecss.info CSS on github if you want a taste. Not large-ish, but still representative I'd say.

https://github.com/efficientcss/ecss.info

As for the "just-in-time" CSS, I include the link tag directly in the component itself. Could be Web component or any other type. Yes, the link tag is repeated, but the browser does not download/interpret the file again since it's cached. Been experimenting with this in the past year and I only see advantages.

First, there's a lot less unused CSS in any page (for instance, on Tailwind's front page there is something like 80% unused CSS as per Google coverage tool).

Second, you have a live link to the CSS in your component file (I use Vim but I know VS Code can follow sources too).
>towards Leipzig.

This has been a meme forever, and while Leipzig has its own decent scene for its size, it is not remotely close to rivaling Berlin. Pick a decent sample of either established or up and coming DJs and compare how often they play in Berlin vs there to disuade yourself of that notion.

>and even Sofia.

Yeah, no. Just because a city has some parties here and there, it doesn't mean it should even be in the conversation in this context.
"I'm too old for that shit" ~ Lethal Weapon.

However .. I was there for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yyUO93JpEw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Band_scene

and later made it to Berlin to being working tech crew for Wim Wenders Wings of Desire when the scene with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds was shot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPf6SWcENWo

Two decades seems excessive, I was there for the shortest no-wave ever(?) The Immaculate Consumptive in the time of Scraping Foetus Off the Wheel.

Melbourne's always seemed to have several layers of music scene on the go at any one time, for better or worse many of the acts travel onwards and outwards, some returning to base camp.
21 +- 13 is stretching the definition of “almost constant.”
I'm not going to even argue about which is worse or better, but what about my personal freedom to eat lab-grown meat if I want to?

Why do these few states hate freedom?

Or is it just the wrong kind of freedom?

I looks to me more like ah, "red meat for the base".
I assume that in this particular case, it's a joke referring to the subject of the study, which involved similar, if even weaker, assurances.

In general, this kind of thing is oddly common. It's all over government forms. I just interviewed with a Chinese father who wanted me to spend time with his children providing exposure to English. He asked me whether I had a criminal record.

I don't, but if I did, and I chose to lie about it, random Chinese parents would never know the difference. (Though entering China might have been a challenge.) Why ask?
We hit some weird query plans. I don't have forensic evidence but here's an example: https://crossref.gitlab.io/engineering/decision-records/dr-0...

Combination of two joins, filtering on all tables, and sorting by the LEFT one. Performance was fine, until we hit the scale when it suddenly became unpredictable.

In hindsight, given the variability of the queries and table structure, I don't think any query planner could have done a good job. The natural answer was to denormalize. But the journey to get there was a little unpredictable.
Nonsense. Jeff Mills was a Skinny Puppy fan, and you can hear it. All the Belleville Three were heavily influenced by Kraftwerk and euro-electro, and you can hear that too. All of them namecheck a much richer and diverse set of influences than Chicago house, itself a refinement of disco, a far from strictly racially-defined movement. The UK was the first to wake up to US techno, long before the US did, if you actually know/ lived through the history. Then of course you have Plus 8, Tresor, Basic Channel and so on. You can try for an Afro-American imperial case, but it’s going to get factually unstuck fast.

The whole damn point was people dancing in a room together, not whatever authenticity tests you have in mind.
Here is a video of that switch in operation:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vvlDYAPs3X0

To me, this seems entirely plausible, even if the movement is relatively slow. Do pilots have their lunch tray on their lap (between the stomach and the controls) when they eat? Maybe the pilot asked the flight attendant to move the seat back so that they could eat comfortably (as they obviously cannot reach that control themselves), and it was moved in the wrong direction accidentally?
I gave it a try. Works pretty good.

Being a Flatpak app, it will require desktop portals to fully work. That said, it worked absolutely fine out of the box for me with my existing xdg-desktop-portal-wlr setup. So, it should work fine in any X11 or Wayland setup where you have an xdg-desktop-portal setup that supports the Screenshot API.

The results are mixed, but not bad by any means. Cleanly readable text comes out mostly fine with maybe only whitespace issues and the occasional error, which makes this still potentially very useful for copying text out of error dialogs and whatnot. (Though, I've found that on Linux, error dialogs are far more likely to have selectable text in the first place. And on Windows, standard MessageBox responds to Ctrl+C.)
BTW, odd question - assume somebody built a low/less code test automation framework that didn't fail and was very effective but it also wasn't popular.

What could it do to stand out to you? What could it demonstrate in 15-20 seconds for you to think "OK this is different"?
Foreigners and tourists are different groups, albeit with significant overlap. The techno scene has a problem with tourists in particular, whether foreign or not. A Bavarian tourist booking an all-inclusive guided tour to pose on social media is going to stick out all the same. Meanwhile an Algerian on a student visa who spends more time partying than studying will fit right in.

I've avoided the company since. Maybe the tech is great, maybe not, but led by someone who can stoop to cheating when the stakes are so low? No, they cannot be trusted with financial data.
I imagine court gets a lot cheaper when there is a precedent covering the exact situation in question.
what exactly is the PR covering here? :-/
Interesting to see that the passenger in the video contradicts that explanation with his testimony of the pilot saying the instruments went blank for a few seconds.
TF is pretty much dead. The examples often do not work, the docs are not up to date and I don't think any recent paper/projects use TF so you'll also find a better community and better resources around Pytorch.

Nah.
I'm convincedthat the mobile web ui changes - bugs included - have been solely intended to drive traffic to the app. Issues like editing comments removing line breaks have been introduced and then subsequently ignored for months.
Julian Assange has invalidated so much about modern America for me. Even when I think I should sort of trust the US government, his name seems to echo through my mind and I think, nahhhh, too much hypocrisy.

If the US government pardoned him they’d be doing themselves a massive favor.
> i used to eat quorn until i read something about it which purported it was dogshit for health.

I mean, you can find negative health claims, albeit often of dubious value, for _literally anything_, so, absent more context, I wouldn't take that at all seriously.

> Stuff like this is very cool scientifically - but - cherrypicking stuff and ramming it into a fungus "because meat" doesnt fill me with confidence that this is healthy to eat at all.

That isn't what quorn was; it's not genetically modified (given that it's from the _early 60s_, it'd be a very good trick if it was).
I agree. I feel like it's a combination of labor of love, and the effort of organizing a community. I also think that with Wikis specifically, it needs to allow something that the original doesn't. For example this is why fandom wikis are popular, because they allow "in-universe" explanations and notability is only required in terms of the universe discussed. Or RationalWiki, which has a specifically different style guide, and an opinionated slant. Or Encyclopedia Dramatica, which allows... well not the healthiest things, but still, I consider it a successful project, compared to the ghost towns of other Wiki initiatives. And neither of these wikis aim to be alternatives to the original Wiki, which is also very important.
Great. Now Samsung can put these on my Frame TV and charge me $5.99 a month for the privilege of accessing them.
Or, if you're more of the entrepreneurial mindset, do one last update of the software to introduce a pay-as-you-go/SaaS model with your credit card in, and when you're leaving, you remove your credit card info.
That feels a bit like hindsight talking. Linux perhaps, but were Python and Postgres really the obvious good judgement choices 25 years ago? Every other choice was poor judgement?
> computer vision has been improving, yes, but nothing earth shattering in the last 5 years

I totally and completely disagree. Sure, "computer vision" industrial cameras doing edge detection haven't changed much, but the computer vision my phone can do is many orders of magnitude better today than it was 5 years ago.

There's tools now that can take a short video of your bookcase and identify every book. That's serious progress!

Edit: This is the example I was referencing https://simonwillison.net/2024/Feb/21/gemini-pro-video/

Breaking down video into tokens for large language models and asking for structured data out. That's ground breaking compared to any non-LLM style machine vision.
I see, yes. I meant "efficient" in it's pure economic definition:

Producing effectively with a minimum of waste, expense, or unnecessary effort.

Is there a better term you're thinking of?

And in my experience, the performance cost of using attribute instead of id selectors is so small as being imperceptible. So, as you say, the gain of suing them far outweighs the possible cost.
How completely unnecessary. You know what gear you shifted in because you shifted it in in the first place. If, once in a long while, you shift different gear, you notice imediatelly as you release clutch. If, once in a while, you forget to shift next gear, the motor will scream at you sooner than you notice the indicator.

And those people not being able to utilize all those "physical" indicators because of being new/bad drivers or being distracted wont notice this small number regardless of where it shows. Just more electronics in cars that desperately need to be getting rid of those...

The only instance of where confirmation of selected gear is usefull is when shifting into Reverse, and that is already acompanied by a beep.
How did this manifest, exactly?
Megacorp and megacorp. Here they are small franchises, not owned by McDonald's.

Of course using basically the same kiosk software makes sense despite being different localisations and different business owners. Having single points of failure globally not so much. I wonder how business owners take functioning sea cables for granted. We have wars in several places on the planet.
Gerrymandering is used to subvert democracy in the US. By both sides.

The republicans have been trying to dissuade a lot of voters which to me, as a rather left (European left) leaning European seems very undemocratic.
One of the risks of operating in bad faith is that people will stop giving you the benefit of a doubt.
Berghain's door policy mostly still works: keeps the American tourists out and the club good times. It's starting to feel a bit dated in general, like the moment's moving past it, but it's always a good time.
Burgers.. They are not transported via HTTP (yet), and still, we can't buy them due to IT trouble?

Seems easy enough.. You tell what you want, they make it, you hand over your cash money and they hand over the burger.
Note to self: Get safe hiding place, hire personal security, only then become a whistle blower against a big company.

It helps that there is two layers of oversight. First you have state that want their taxes. But then there is also the McDonalds who want their cut and know pretty much all data. From expected sales, to I think how much raw ingredients have been ordered. So ordering too much waste will look suspicious.
Same thing happened in London a long time ago. The antidote is word-of-mouth raves in abandoned buildings, forests, farms, canal boats, wherever
The pilot might not have given the true reason to passengers.
Check RA for lineups and go based on that.
I moved in Berlin in 2016, which isn't too long ago but the prices were much cheaper (for some places that means sub-10 vs over 20 euros now, for Berghain it means half the price back then), and even then locals were the minority. Foreigners self-select by coming especially for the scene, while the % of locals here who care for it isn't that much higher than the % of locals born in other cities.
Nice! They're great for establishing a strict scope for rulesets.
Alternative, and more likely imo, hypothesis is that attaining and maintaining the social (and probably $$$) capital of being a "Harvard Expert" leads to desperation and breaking the rules.
Of course. "personal freedom" is a multi-edged implement, it's not just for meat-eaters. There is no "pro freedom" argument in preventing me from choosing "lab-grown meat", if I want to. My reasons might be good or bad, emotional or not, that's irrelevant. You can't prevent me and also claim to be all for personal freedom, as these states like to.
The sad part about the field is that in the end nobody really cares what science turned out to be fake… because nobody actually cares about the specific results that come out of psychology research.

How could the roof be interfering with the Wifi signal? Did they put the access points on top of the building? Why does going outside, presumably getting further away from the access points, solve the issue?
I like steel in furniture, especially for larger items like bookshelves - you get the level of rigidity that you can only get from very expensive and massive chunks of hardwood.

Also it’s light, and makes moving much easier
This is great, though it's hard to ignore that there's a bit of techno-industrial-complex going on there. Still, there's a proper industry for electronic music, nice people, good clubs, good music, good record stores and that sense of freedom that comes with long opening hours - not just in the clubs.

One of my favourite things about Berlin is just sitting in a bar with friends till you're done for the night, no pressure to move on - often this can drag till 4 in the morning, but it doesn't feel laboured.
This. For me it's very easy to skip it, but for less technological relatives it's a pain. They cannot install anything without me basically.
I feel like the growing festival scene is a direct result of properties getting scarce in the city.

Or maybe that people got too busy that they can only afford to party when it’s a proper vacation.
> First, Hill-Maini focused on boosting the mold’s production of heme – an iron-based molecule which is found in many lifeforms but is most abundant in animal tissue, giving meat its color and distinctive flavor.

I think this is the main practical difference; more aesthetics than anything else. Of course, for food, aesthetics are all-important; realistically, people will only accept a meat substitute if it tastes as they expect.
Lunchables were a new thing when I was in school about 25 years a go. A lot of other kids seemed to have them and I was so envious. When I grew up and could buy my own food I just forgot about them. They're kiddie things and I just didn't want them any more.

I guess I always assumed they weren't good for you but didn't think about it much. About a year ago I saw one in a supermarket and curiosity got the better of me. What was I missing out on? I was expecting it to be bad but was still shocked. The crackers are like sweet biscuits. What's with that? It's the same as McDonalds. Sweet everything. The other bits are just coloured protein-style matter.

But yet it appeals to children. A marketing department has sat together and designed something of no value except to be craved by children. And this is still available 25 years later?!

Food addiction is the cause of both obesity and diabetes type 2. Nobody wants to be fat and they know what causes it, but they can't stop eating. It's the textbook definition of addiction. And we're getting kids hooked, in their school lunch, no less. You might as well put some cigarettes in there too then wonder why everyone is addicted to cigarettes. It seems completely insane to me.

It makes me realise cigarettes probably didn't go away due to any kind public health campaign. They just went out of fashion. I can't believe they could make cigarettes go away but can't even get junk food out of schools.
No, it isn't, which was my point entirely.

Besides — are you American? If you are, you are unlikely to know what my _that_ even is. I have eaten at McDonalds in the US, and it's not an experience I would care to repeat.

So if that's true, I can kinda see where you are coming from, but still - different strokes and all that jazz?
If I called you a fringe US conservative, that would be ad-hominem. We haven't gotten there because we're stuck at the question you are deflecting.

In my view, Conservapedia is an encyclopedia only by medieval standards. It is not useful to me except for entertainment and maybe if I wanted to write US cable news ad copy. What is it to you? Do you refer to it when you want to know about historical floods?
Are there actually lawyers who make a living out of the former though? To not have it be so many letters that haste is inevitable, they would have to be individually large claims. Minor violations by large entities aren't worth much, major violations by small entities aren't either (because they can't pay), and major violations by large entities are uncommon because large entities can afford counsel. Meanwhile when they happen they're coveted by every law firm that likes money, so how would anyone secure for themselves enough of those cases to specialize in it?
