I think both origins are probably correct at the same time, as you well know, Texas is a big place, and communications/movements of people were very slow until the 20th Century.

Black cowboy culture is kinda lost from the popular narrative - and cowboy culture was anglicized to an extent that the Mexican origins were also buried - similarly both mexican and black folks experienced similar kinds of racism depending on which part of the state they were in.
> Hyphen vs underscore in filenames and directory names?

> Originally, when I stopped using Windows back in about 1998, I was used to using spaces between words in filenames and directories. As I progressed into the world of Linux and BSD, I changed all spaces to underscores, but since I have done (and still do) a lot of web development I eventually settled on hyphens. I not only think it looks better, but the fact is that search engines interpret hyphens in file and directory names as spaces between words. Underscores are usually not recognized, and as such, their presence can negatively affect search engine optimization. Even though files in my home directory are my private files and not something I put out on the web, I have just settled on using hyphens everywhere.

I couldn't agree more. It's so practice to use hyphens when navigating on terminal that i think it should be a standard. It's even better than pressing <SHIFT-KEY> every time to select an underscored filename or <BACKSLASH-KEY> for spaces. Duh
Thanks for confirming.

Regarding tutorials;
Good news - 1.4.1 release should be available in the App Store and it comes with the fix for tutorials duplicates. From now on each tutorial document have a hardcoded UUID, so when they get generated on multiple devices they still get merged into one single Document. CRDT is beautiful.

Bad news - existing users need to remove old tutorials for the fix to work. Matching old and new tutorials based on title only could cause problems for some users. Sorry.
The following directories always exist in my $HOME. Usually there are also a bunch of other work-in-progress files scattered around, waiting for me to either categorize them, delete them, or give up and move them to one of the catchall directories (archive, ongoing, tmp, or projects/scratch depending on what they are)

3dp -> 3d printing files

archive -> manuals, papers, website backups, etc

audio -> music and sound files

bin -> scripts and hand-installed binaries

build -> other peoples' projects that i'm building or hacking on

CameraUploads -> symlink to my NextCloud camera upload folder

Documents -> some random documents migrated from Dropbox days

Downloads -> Downloads, organized by year, with cur year in root

notes -> textfile notes

ongoing -> catch all to get rid of stuff that i am not quite done with yet

personal-records -> water & power bills, medical records, pay stubs, etc

pics -> photos (mostly screenshots) from this PC specifically

projects -> my own projects that i'm working on (mostly git repos)

tmp -> theoretically, safe to delete at any time .... theoretically

BACKUP.TODO -> a textfile showing what i still need to back up out of my digital empire
Yes, that's the part here - you die without factor VIII. Its why severe hemophiliacs almost always died before factor VIII because available, and why almost 100% of them had HIV and hepC in the window between those viruses entering the blood supply and 100% testing / heat treatment (which is darkly funny because one of the trials involved was about heat treatment, seems to work for HIV but not for hepC).

From what I can tell, the issue is twofold: Informed consent, of which there was very little, but that's not exactly rare until recently, and running the trials on "marginal cases" - hemophilia comes in differing severity, and given the risks of using known contaminated factor VIII using it unless necessary probably wasn't the best idea.
Granted, this isn't a usual occurence so maybe not a reasonable use case for the design.

But man, when accelerating at max power due to a glitch, you need to look at the touchscreen to find the right place to slide your finger to switch to neutral... I thougt having touch controls for climate was bad.
My wife has an African Gray parrot, it amazing sometimes to just watch him and see something that can be traced back all the way to the dinosaurs.

Pretty smart too - the recognize people and objects and uses association of the words - like when my one black cat (got two but he has white feet) enters the kitchen to check for food scraps he says "Get out" like I would.

He has no oil gland to lube his feathers since they are a tree dwelling species from the tropics but down feathers which break down into a fine dust when he grooms.
>Tesla is recalling all 3,878

So one of the smallest recalls in recent history? I understand that this company, its CEO, and this vehicle in question are all controversial, however the levels of attention coming from media are getting to be a bit too much. If you look at NHTSA's data and take a data-driven approach (just sort by potentially affected), you will find this to be quite normal.

The discussion is not about the war, it's about a bunch of tech employees getting fired. It should be relevant for a large chunk of this site's user base. It certainly does not break the rules in any way to warrant mass flagging.
That's what I thought until I saw the video. The top metal panel that covers the accelerator literally falls off, wedging itself between the accelerator and the car. It's not a fabric cover.
Illustrative point for the “the value isn’t explained” issue: I’ve spent two years on calculus in school plus some more time on my own and don’t know how or why I’d e.g. use it to derive the formula for the area of an oval (I think that’s the kind of thing you’re getting at?)

Actually, I can count the times I’ve applied math from later than 6th or 7th grade on one hand. I’m almost 40 and have been writing code for pay since I was 15. I struggle with this with my own kids and dread their reaching those later classes because I have no compelling answer for “why do I have to learn this boring shit?”
At my work pretty much everything but the UI is in C++. I suspect the only reason the UI isn't C++ is so we have a portion of the cosebase that recent grads can work on right away without having to train them up in C++.
> The fault was caused by an “unapproved change” that introduced “lubricant (soap)” during the assembly of the accelerator pedals, which reduced the retention of the pad, the recall notice states.

“Yo Jimmy, what was that trick you said you did to get these candy-a$$ pedal covers on again?”

“Just spray some Dawn on it, slides right on”

“Oh right, thanks!”
I agree that sometimes linters can enforce code styles that are more of hassle to deal with than offer any real concrete gain to new developers. But I disagree that only senior developers should use linters. Especially if you are learning a new language, it can introduce you to common conventions in that language, writing cleaner and more idiomatic code, and helps form good habits off the jump instead of building bad habits you will eventually have to change in a professional setting. Sure it can be overzealous at times, but I think on the whole it is a net positive.
> All I know is that the boomers of the family ate fat and sugar like it was going out of style, and lived in decent health to a ripe old age

That's a data point.

> while the fair-trade free-range organic millennials seem to be falling apart at the seams.

That's not a data point. That's a broad statement that generalizes about a population, and yes: It would be a good to see a source that indicates that an entire generation is "falling apart at the seams" either as a result of their preference for "fair trade free range organic" food or their avoidance of fat and sugar -- if, indeed, that is even true of the population in question.
Right, that is my intention. I loathe the current software landscape of hand-holding and unhealthy dependency on a company to properly handle a user's data. With this method, the user is responsible for their own security, and I just provide a secure way for them to blog anonymously with virtually no risk of their posts being associated with them. Thats my vision anyway.
Most interesting fact from the article:

> KABAS: If I understand correctly, some of the 28 people fired were not actually involved in the sit in. Is that right?

> IBRAHEEM: Yeah, this was retaliation, like completely indiscriminate—people who had just walked by just to say hello and maybe talk to us for a little bit. They were fired. People who aren't affiliated with No Tech For Apartheid at all, who just showed up and were interested in what was going on. And then security asked to see their badge and they were among the 28 fired.

> They had to reach out after the fact to tell us, hey, I was impacted by this. Like we had no reason to suspect that someone who wasn't affiliated with us or wasn't even wearing a shirt or anything related to our sit-in—we had no reason to think that they would be retaliated against.

So Google knew everyone who even talked to these people.
They proxy the metadata (e.g. IP addresses) through their own servers. They can't launder the content of the chats.
I'm kind of alarmed by them blaming QC when the problem is the shape of the open space around the pedal allowing for such an opportunity. Even if the pedal itself didn't lodge itself there, a sandal or other shoe could similarly get wedged there.
Peter Norvig's work is great to learn from https://github.com/norvig/pytudes
These days, unless you're on 2G or 3G (if they're even still available in your country), mobile phones will often use AMR-WB or EVS when calling over IMS (i.e. VoIP over LTE or 5G), which are both wideband and considerably better than G.711 (and probably even G.722; while they have lower bitrates, they're also considerably more modern).

The problem is that when calling across networks, the connection might still go over a legacy circuit-switched exchange, and that compresses everything down to narrowband again.

I hope that whoever regulates the PSTN in the US will force a switch to all-IP interconnects at some point, since now we get the worst of both worlds (often somewhat lower reliability due to badly managed VoIP services, combined with potato quality because of a legacy interconnect somewhere between VoIP networks).

All IP could also provide much more efficient routing: Right now, as I understand it, if you're calling somebody with a 212 area code and both you and the callee are physically in San Francisco, your connection might still be routed through some circuit-switched exchange in Manhattan, which isn't great for latency or high availability.

Important to remember just how close we really are to slavery. It's not ancient history by any means.

Absolutely. My grandmother's grandmother was a slave. It's still hard for me to wrap my hand around the fact that I knew and talked to someone that new a slave.

(yes, I know modern-day slavery exists, I'm speaking in context of US chattel slavery)
“Most” is pulling a lot of undeserved weight there.

Some recalls have been software updates. There have been plenty (like rear camera harnesses failing, the media CPU overheating, rear seatbelts being incorrectly attached, faulty MMC modules, and the incident being talked about here) that have required hardware fixes.
How many recalls of the other manufacturers are software updates just without the possibility, of OTA?

How many different models do the other manufacturers have, how many has Tesla?

And don't forget that Musk acts like Tesla is special and doesn't have the same problems as the old lame boring companies.
Agreed, the fact that DDG AI chat uses Anthropic is a massive red flag.

The plan is to maintain free anonymous access to base models, with eventually search better integrated as well. We'd also like to experiment with providing anonymous access to more cutting-edge models as part of Privacy Pro.
We may be at the point where CSPRNGs are viable for video game randomness, but that wasn't the case 10+ years ago especially when factoring in compatibility with 20-year-old hardware (high-end PCs from ca 2004 could play Minecraft).

Even so, a non-crypto PRNG can generally compute a new random number in 2-4 ALU ops. With SIMD optimization, that can amortize to under 1 cycle per byte, which means it takes under a nanosecond to generate a new 32-bit number. I'm not sure even the best hardware-accelerated CSPRNG on modern hardware can quite say the same just yet.
My ORACLE_HOME is in /home/oracle. It's just supposed to work like that (leaving all of the /u01/app references aside).
So they shouldn't have published a story on this? Shouldn't have used the word "all?" What exactly are you complaining about? Just that the "lol Musk" media clickbait factory is lame? Cause this seems newsworthy to me and I don't find fault with the story published here.
G.711, the standard encoding for home phone systems since they went digital, is usually filtered at 300–3400Hz as well. Chances are if you had a home phone in the 80s or 90s it was filtered at 300-3400Hz somewhere along the path.
I hope the author will post an official correction/amendment to the original paper and not just leave a short notice on their personal homepage.

Why was this article flagged? Did it hurt the feelings of the 'Elite', aka the parasites whose greed caused this death spiral?
No trolling, just some light teasing. I found it disturbing that you were repeatedly accusing this publication of 'race baiting" with no real basis. We all need to recognise the gravity of the history of slavery and the continuing social stratification that its legacy is causing around the world. I think it's dangerous to make accusations like you have done here. I asked you several times to clarify what you were saying and only received vague spiels about the Spanish language somehow ensuring that English derivations must be free of racist connotations. This left me a little exasperated and I felt that a bit of light banter would highlight some of the vacuuity of the accusations I was reading.

Totally fine if you think they've made a factual error but the accusation of race bait is a serious one and only serves to undermine any chance of such conversations being held with civility. Not everyone who says things you disagree with are trolling or baiting or acting with insiduous agendas.
Israel also has an anti-protest clause in the contract, to keep Google in the contract in face of any protests or demonstrations.
No, your IP is not "you". It's most definitely not your PII, per se. It is PII when used in conjunction with other data(even under fairly strict GPDR rules).

The party storing the IP must have means of associating that IP with you, not simply "a city".

I mean... I can write an anonymous letter, drop it into the mailbox of my local post office and there will be a stamp of where and when that letter was mailed from. Is a post office stamp now my personal information?
You can steer as long as you've got three wheels. Not as well as with four of course. With a modern brake system, you should have some braking power too. I know someone who lost a wheel on an 1965 truck with a single chamber brake cylinder, so there was no pressure in the system as brake parts fell off with the wheel.
No part of the IP address is sent.

No, there's a mistake in the statement.

Counter-example -- what's happening _right now_ at a distance of 20 billion light-years from us?

Or another question -- what happened 1 hour _before_ the Big Bang?

Both questions are already invalid by themselves.

UPDATE: I should've tried to answer my questions to show what I mean:

1. At 20B ly from us there's no space nor time to talk about. Physicists talk in formulas, and I suspect if I knew how, I just wouldn't be able to come up with a formula to formulate my question.

2. "before" the Big Bang there was no time itself to say "before".

In other words, we can only reason about, or imagine, reason about things, within our light cones. Outside light cone questions become invalid to ask.

Will there be a recall for a car wash being able to destroy the cybertruck? [1]

0-60 time is 2.6 seconds, or 10.32m/s^2 if it’s evenly distributed. So from zero you’d be doing 11.5mph in 0.5s (and travelled a little over four feet).

But importantly, it looks like this is more of a ratchet effect… so if your pedal is stuck at 100%, it’s because you pressed it that far (even if intending it to be momentary). That’s not something you’d normally do in a parking lot full of nuns, you’re probably on a highway with some time to react and press the brake. My guess is that’s why we haven’t seen a tragic accident out of this.
Maybe more like:

"Hey we are getting pressure to move faster and produce more cars, anyone have any ideas how we can speed things up in your area?"

"Yeah so soap might help us 3x the install time on these pedals"

"Do it!"
I think Tesla has tons of problems, and I think the Cybertruck is a ghastly creation, and I think there have been many worse examples of QA problems at Tesla in the past (e.g. steering wheels falling off).

But at this point, this just feels like piling on. "OMG, how can their processes be so immature that something like this happened?!?!" Nearly all new models have significant recalls, and I'm not surprised for a vehicle as soup-to-nuts different as the Cybertruck. These are incredibly complicated engineering processes, so it's always easy to point out one thing (out of potentially millions) and yell "How could this happen?!"

I'm certainly not excusing Tesla for their overall QA issues, but at the same time this pearl clutching and what seems like undue attention every time there is a Tesla recall just seems over the top at this point.
Wouldn't this be to show that they aren't reading the bills they're passing unless someone raises a stink and they have their interns actually read it an report back?

While the internet does make it easier to access educational and useful materials, it also makes it easier to access X,000 hours of $videoGame or X0,000 dopamine hits from endless TikTok videos.

In particular, you don't need volatile unless you're writing hardware device drivers. If you're doing that, then you also need to understand the semantics of the memory mappings of the I/O pages you're writing. You also need to know about bus ordering and request coalescing guarantees for PCIe (or AXI, or whatever your embedded system uses).

If that paragraph doesn't make any sense, and you think you need volatile then there are basically two possibilities: You're writing a Java program (which uses that keyword for something else), or you need std::atomic (or __sync_* for C) instead.

Your conspiracy theory makes no sense. If Gaza's motivation is to stop Israel from annexing all their land, why is it not the best move to replace leadership, return the hostages and turn that goodwill into a formally recognized statehood? Instead, they provide no proof of life of the hostages and fire rockets at Israeli civilians, making it all more the likely that the size of the demilitarized zone will continue to increase to appease the safety fears of Israeli citizens.

> What's heavier? 1 kg of lead or 2 kg of feathers?

That's a classic trick question!

The answer is: 2 kg of feathers.

Why? Because 2 kg is heavier than 1 kg, regardless of the material. The density of the material doesn't matter in this case, only the weight. So, 2 kg of feathers would weigh more than 1 kg of lead.
