honestly that ends up being a feature rather than a bug for me, given how many chrome windows and chrome profiles going on, having it be a separate so entirely is a good thing in my book. I can understand others have a different opinion though. Given all the attention paid to the developer experience, what's weird is CORS not being called out in their browser.

In the dark notice how much light comes from a phone and how much that illuminates the person holding the phone.

A car headlight shining your way from hundreds of meters even over 1km will often illuminate that person far more than their phone screen.

So if the phone screen is enough to undo the hour long eyes adjusting to the dark duration, then the car headlights at almost any realistic distance causes an undo.

Over time solar is only ever about 10% the nameplate capacity. Over a year my roof top panels in Australia get about 12.5% their nominal - i.e. about half of the daytime they'll see.

Is it a _fundamentally_ bad idea? The connected syncing feature of Bitwarden is one of my favorite things. I can save a password on one device, and its automagically available on others all while staying encrypted (and audited).
Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful! The fact the software might fade away was a great motivation for myself. I'm in touch with the publisher and It's likely we'll keep working together. I'll reach out to you regardless as I'd love to learn from your insights :)
> A player can waste a literally infinite amount of time probing a chatbot NPC for narratively interesting details, and all they'll get is chatbot slop.

I would phrase that as "A player can have an infinite amount of fun creating an immersive world with the LLM". Any details you want will be narratively interesting, because the LLM will work them into the narrative as necessary.

There's no end of the hallway, the hallway leads to everything. The ultimate sandbox game.
Then the industry should take a fair shot at serving the low end market instead of hiding behind tariffs, no? Or are we going to wait around while legacy auto only sells $40k-$80k combustion pickup trucks and SUVs and Tesla doesn’t build a Model 2?

Protect markets for legitimate reasons, not out of domestic nepotism and laziness. BYD gets government support, US auto should get the same, but you actually have to show progress towards desired outcomes to justify cross border protectionism.

Coupling your API to your database schema is a bad idea. Once you have clients consuming that API you can no longer make changes to your database schema without also updating all of those clients and coordinating their deployments. Advice like this reads like it's coming from somebody that's never stayed in a role long enough to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Generally I wake up and assess which of my body parts are experiencing issues. Pressure differentials play havoc upon internal pockets. Other than that I go outside and feel the temperature and humidity and witness the general movement (or abcence of movement) of cloud formations. I smell the air. Surprisingly, these sensations are pretty close to accurate when it comes to predicting local weather.

I am not sure how to do that for space weather yet.

There aren't zillions of Chinese EVs on American roads, but this just makes it impossible for Americans to buy a Chinese EV even if it attains homologation and it allows American EV makers to keep prices artificially high. It screws American consumers.
Conversely solar panels are cheap, but environmental impact statements, permitting and installation labour are not.

Yep, 10% advertised RIF usually translates to ~30% actual headcount reduction.
Perhaps, and that's not unreasonable in and of itself. But to do so in such a user-hostile manner? That's a bit over the top. A new minimal package, advertising it, and only then eventually making it the default would have been far, far more effective.

If an engineer of mine pulled this on our user-base I'd have them reverting it in a heartbeat regardless of the technical merit. They already failed just in how they executed this and have burned good will, the technical merits no longer matter. Once you've lost the faith and trust of the user, it's over.

The debian package description[1]:
> See keepassxc-full if you absolutely need those.

The PR[2]
> Feature creep like SSH agent support, browser integration, Freedesktop.org secret storage, KeeShare pose undue risks for most users.

Each one of these sends a message. And it was entirely avoidable with a bit of grace and kindness to the existing userbase.

I haven't downvoted a single comment you've made, sorry.
I’m okay with employees engaging in peaceful protest, and even think they should be immune from workplace retaliation if they haven’t broken laws. But forcefully occupying buildings, or disrupting work with mass emails, etc are not acceptable forms of protest. You don’t get to break the law or abuse work resources for your personal political stances and you aren’t entitled to an audience for your unpopular views. Leaking sensitive information with national security implications, doing the dirty work of terrorist regimes (Iran), isn’t okay.

> The ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza has brought the stakes of Silicon Valley’s military contracts into stark relief.

This is a really biased description. It would be more accurate to call it a war of self defense than paint it this way, and it gives away the author’s biases.

> As you read this, AI is helping Israel annihilate Palestinians

This is similarly unhinged. Do words mean anything to these radicals? A conflict with relatively low civilian casualties isn’t annihilation. Gaza’s population has grown significantly over the years and obviously hasn’t been annihilated. The IDF also takes a lot of care to avoid civilian deaths, including announcing their targets and giving people time to leave. The number of deaths - even with Hamas’s propaganda numbers - is very low considering the enemy is purposely using human shields in a dense city (for example using hospitals).
On that thread they mention virt-manager being deprecated, how can that be?

Microwaves don't absorb uniformly into materials. You can have a potentially deadly amount of energy, but if you can't actually interact with it then it's harmless.

The proposal for rectenna arrays was grids over farmland which could be used for cattle grazing with illeffects to the cattle - simply not enough EM can be absorbed by them for it to matter.
I’m struggling to understand how something along the lines of ripping out the existing drywall, rebuilding a few walls worth of framing with offset studs, and filling them with rockwool would remotely approach $70k for maybe 40 feet of wall in an apartment / condo. $10k, sure, that’s easy. What is the contractor proposing?
>And some reasonable expectations of respect.

Volunteers by definition do not (or at least should not) expect anything in return for their time. If you want respect as a so-called volunteer, you're not a volunteer.

I've seen both good and bad package maintainers, too.
I think what you're not getting is that there won't be a "your story". The player will create their own story in cooperation with the LLM. It won't be for every game, but think about games like Skyrim or BotW, where people ignore the main quest and have tons of fun doing whatever the hell they want.

Game devs will still provide structure, "this big baddie is trying to do X, there's this mysterious treasure over here". But the guard rails will be gone, and there will be a real world to explore, not just cutscenes to sit through.

I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)

If you're interested in a small phone, please share this campaign. If not, maybe share your thoughts on why a phone needs to be so big.
Longer context lengths will massively help, but game engines will also provide structure to the LLM. If you instruct an NPC to pick up a weapon and there isn't any, the engine will return an error to the LLM saying there's no weapon, and the LLM will write the character saying "What do you mean? There's no weapon."

Obviously the number of people working on the super secret stuff is smaller, not to mentioned each project has a compartmentalized staff, but keeping secrets at this size is going to be a tough ask. They seem to do a pretty good job, but we know they’re not infallible at it. I imagine RenTech at 1/100th the size would have a vastly easier time.
IIRC the issue is with cultures that leave rice out on the counter at room temperature, because of historical inertia from per-refrigeration times. In that case, it does support life like anything else moist and pH neutral.

But there is no problem if you follow good food safety practices -- everybody puts the lid back on the pot after they've served themselves, and any leftover goes in the fridge within 4 hours of cooking.

You can work around this with SQL views. Design your externally facing API using views that expose a subset of your overall schema.

That's the thing--Spider-Man 2 was rather flawed overall. The main story missions were meh, and the side missions got tedious after awhile (how many people in this damn city are hanging from a ledge at any given moment?). It was much like GTA3, where it was almost a chore to make myself finish the thing, and I'd normally just fire it up to swing around town aimlessly. I'd probably only rate it an 8/10 overall (at the time). It just had the advantage of absolutely nailing the feeling of web-slinging in a way that no game ever did or arguably did again until Spider-Man (2018).

USM was definitely a downgrade on the freedom/webslinging front, but pretty much everything else was better, and it was a tighter experience. I guess it comes down to whether you're the type who prefers the game with the better overall package, or the game with one killer feature that it does really well and you can't find anywhere else.

Size is very important, and in may experience less memory usage tend to beat using less instructions. So I understand Clang decision to trade size for complexity.

Clang developers are not stupid, if they did that instead of copying what GCC or MSVC did (they both predate clang), there is a good reason, and my guess is that it is better aligned with how modern architectures and optimizers work. Anyways, that's a tradeoff, but on a modern high performance computer, intuitively, I would side with clang.

Is KeepassXC even a company ? looking at their site and wikipedia, they're just a bunch of people dedicated enough to maintain the project. Looking at the donation page [0] they don't even list anything going to themselves in the use of the money.

So they're effectively paying with their time to keep the thing alive. If anything the community seem to own a ton to these guys.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that as American workers protest, Google has begun moving jobs offshore to India and Mexico [0]. It’s an issue the author of this article mentions as well: workers on a visa risk a lot by standing up to work that violates their conscience. It’s a framing that the media and political class has simply accepted whereas in reality a “worker shortage” often means a shortage of workers willing to be underpaid and overworked.

Agree 100%. As it is, the risk is all on the Ukrainian side, save for Russian casualties (which Russia has shown to be of little concern, as they shovel everyone from prisoners to conscripts to the front lines).

They need to have more downside risk, which doesn't come from the West constantly reassuring them that we won't "escalate". Hitting targets in Russia would definitely change the calculus. As would enforcing a NATO no-fly zone over Ukraine.

I was glad to hear Macron and others turn the corner there. But, I hope they're willing to back it up, else the bluster would do more harm than good.

> Volunteers by definition do not (or at least should not) expect anything in return for their time

That isn't really true. For starters, paid volunteers are actually a thing that happens from time to time. Secondly; there would be no volunteers if they didn't get something for their time. It is just generally that something isn't money. Volunteers aren't expected to be selfless.
How much it matters really depends where you shop. Places like Grocery Outlet, or places that don't have super frequent business like small rural grocery stores, can be selling food that _right up to_ the best-by date.
