20 years in a time of massive social changes? Would it really happen all so quickly? There are million things that could be making things worse. Heck, it could be case that without these treatments it'd be even worse. I don't know if that's true or not, but I'm saying consider the wider environment in which this is all happening.

It's impossible to really be sure either way. Maybe it's all garbage, maybe not. but make sure you're at least trying to look at the whole picture.

Have a look at stripe API. You don't delete subscriptions. You change them to free plan instead / cancel and then resume later. This for would not result in deletion of the entry. You also can update to change the billing date, so no overlapping subscriptions are needed. Neither test would result in the described bug.

That’s not the argument he is making. He is making the argument that if you imagine a sheet of paper in between the 2 cars into which they crash, then since they both stop since they are perfectly symmetrical then the fact that there is another car on the other side of the sheet is immaterial. It’s complete garbage.
He absolutely is, which just makes it all more funny.
Sorry, I realised I'd replied twice to the same comment, so I merged my replies together.

Your original assertion was that London's congestion charge area is trivial (small) compared to NYC's. My main point was that it's not: they're actually about the same size.

London's is also not trivial to implement: London's street network is pretty complex, and I'd be very surprised if there aren't many more entry/exit points to the London congestion zone compared to Manhattan's, which has the significant benefit of being on an island!

I'm not sure how "proportion of size compared to the rest of the city" is relevant. In both cases they're the most central, busiest parts of their respective cities, with the most commuters and the worst congestion. You're right that London's central zone is geographically tiny compared to the Greater London area. The NYC congestion zone is also tiny compared to the New York metropolitan area, which is enormous.
I'd be concerned said "robust" tests were also lifted from ChatGPT.

I don't find that to be the case. I use stock Ubuntu with no changes, even the default terminal and window manager, and I've been using Linux since before 1.0

I don't care about tiling window managers or a different terminal or ssh sessions.
Yep, everyone has different requirements and things they'll put up with. Personally, the touchpad on my Dell laptop is absolutely terrible, but it's not hard to get a wireless (or wired) mouse and plug that in, so I can have a reasonably-priced laptop that works well with Linux.

ummm chatGPT is very slowly becoming mainstream... for to become fully such no user and or prospective user cares about it's limitations .. it needs to work like previous similar technologies do like Siri and Alexa.

User experience is utmost important without it Apple wouldnt be apple and chatGPT as it's current trajectory is going looks to become as big as the current biggies. Thus everyone including parents/grandparents/etc will be using it and those users dont care about LLM talk and etc.. they have no idea what it is. chatGPT just works for them and somewhat magically so.. it even knows the current date as mom, dad or grandma be like this thing doesnt know the current date Siri does.

You must not be a UX professional ;-)
Typical JP Gov bollocks. Instead of bloody dating up do actual things to support people with kdis

- support single parents, most kids of single parents are living in POVERTY
- support free school lunch, free Kindergarten, etc
- make companies pay people a decent amount of money so you don't have to have two people work forever so they can sort of afford one kid where most pay then goes into a Kindergarten so both can work, so they can pay ...
- looking at the yen right now and how everything gets overlay expensive and how no company is really willing to raise wages ... yeah good luck with kids
- stop building places that are smaller than the places build 30~40 years ago. The new apartment block in front of mine has everything so small, you can barely fit a family with one kid ...
- support other contraception methods financial ...
- perhaps stop having politicians in say that just constantly complain why women aren't a housewife like in the olden days

A dating up will fix nothing.
Like Alexa or Siri?

Security aside... What's the command? Sites like oh-my-zsh have it front and center. This is a git repo.
Happy to help you both. It is fun and somewhat counterintuitive given almost everyone gets told the opposite.
A lot of comments here missing the huge point that even if the fault is obvious to many, how many things were also obvious that were fixed, and how you just simply run out of attention trying to keep up with all the mistakes transformers keep putting back in the more you fight with them.

> So how could we study what makes me turn off other people and have it make a difference in my life? It is unlikely that I would be able to change myself and there is almost zero chance that whatever it is about me that disgusts others will change their natural reaction.

Highly unlikely, but you didn't rule it out completely. Plus there are others who also might be able to change.
Looking at the software they exploited...

The first one looks like a student project? https://www.sourcecodester.com/php/17115/travel-journal-usin... I see 79 lines of PHP code. It has two buttons, "read journal" and "write journal", to make a plain-text post. How did this get a CVE assigned?

The next two are from a CMS with a README in Lithuanian, 2 stars, and a dead website.

I don't want to dunk on all those projects, and maybe those kinds of programs are the bulk of CVEs, but they managed to find projects that did absolutely no validation and which can get a XSS/CSRF/SQLi on the first attempt (just put some JS or SQL into any form field and you've won).

Is that really a random selection of 14 CVEs? Also why does the table have 14 when the text claims 15?
That's a mighty short paper, pardner.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I just spent 5 minutes arguing with my 2 year old about 1) why she needed to go to bed (it’s 10:20), and 2) why she needed to take her hands out of her nighttime diaper. To which, she rebutted with a “no” and no further discussion on her position. Guess I’m just not breaking down my argument well enough (gigantic fucking eyeroll).

Yes, but there is also nothing on the moon worth going there for. Fusion resources are a pipe dream and anything you mine there would be much better mined off asteroids.

I’m of the opinion that if you want real space industry, leave the planets alone and go to the near-earth asteroids followed by the belt. If you want space tourism and money-sucking colonies then it doesn’t really matter which location you pick - they’re all bad.

> pressure on mars is a few millibars, so not even a percent of earths atmospheric pressure

Not strictly accurate - varies significantly with elevation, and the bottom of Hellas Planitia (which is 2300km across) is over 1% of earth's.

But your overall point stands, nowhere on the surface of mars is above the armstrong limit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_limit

Sure. That's pretty acidic wording, but I think it's fair to say they want more consumer market share and lock-in helps that.

The original post's point was that by being more open they would encourage more software to be built for their platform. That would create more demand for their products from consumers.
Like anything else, gradually.

You really don't have to understand any deep wizardry to get started (or, for the most part, even to finish). For the most part, you just look at a specification, and implement what it says. It requires some code architecting skill to not make a mess, but there are common patterns and it becomes a lot easier once you've built one or two emulators.

And you almost never need to understand electronics. You're only emulating behavior. When someone discovered bugs in the behavior of the original hardware, you usually just need to special-case it in your emulator. It might help to know some electronics to understand how those behaviors came to be, but that's more so of historical interest than actually practical.

There are certain unique challenges, but it's nothing too difficult. When there's an issue, you're usually debugging three things at once: Your understanding of the hardware, your implementation of the emulator, and the game you're emulating. It can be hard to pin down the exact problem. But here, I encourage you to just hack something together. It's not clean, but all emulators are full of special cases that try to somehow get popular games working. If a couple unclean hacks mean you can get a game working, just do so. You don't really need to exactly implement the original hardware's behavior. Just get the game working.
I never meant to claim it's good or sane that I want an animal body, but it's something I can't really help. I don't have the delusion that it's ever actually going to happen, I just can't help but wish that it would.

That's some retconning. He felt slighted by Apple one too many times with App Store woes and decided to change his entire company to not be dependent on Apple products.

While I fully agree with you that the diversity of languages should be cherished, not squashed, I don't think those are good arguments. We've gone over argument 2 and why I don't think it works in the other thread.

For argument 1, that is known as the Sappir-Whorf hypothesis, is mostly discredited, at least in its stronger versions. By and large, people speaking the same language have a huge variety of differences of ideas, but you can also find areas with remarkable cultural similarity between people speaking different languages.

For an example of why this is not true in practice, look at Canada. The French speaking parts of Canada have far more in common with the rest of Canada and with the USA then they do with France, and even more so compared to Guinea or French Guiana.

The reason why language diversity should be preserved instead is that it gives access to a trove of cultural history that would be lost and forgotten, at least outside of scholarly circles, if it people could no longer understand it. This is by far the most problematic for oral cultural history, but even for written culture it is highly relevant.
I really appreciate the attempt here, but these people are convinced and refuse to yield to logical questions, e.g. What is the evidence for a genocide? Gaza Ministry of Health says there is a genocide. You mean Hamas? The people who organized and filmed themselves murdering and kidnapping women, old people and children. Why do they have credibility? The UN also says there is a genocide. The UN cites Hamas. The BBC, NYT, HRW... ...also cite Hamas. It's Hamas all the way down. Well, it's the best source we have. Israel is biased, and committing genocide...

Here is the problem in the article: nearly every language is going to have the (3) people.

Hire people for embedded C and you will run into some some people to whom C programming and their side projects in it are more important than whatever you're trying to ship.

Substitute anything. Rust, C++, Ruby, Java, ...

And of course the resume stuffing (1) people are also a language-independent problem.

Certain languages probably won't have too many people in the (2) category (excited recent grads). But those are the good candidates in relation to (1) and (3), according to the Gooby analysis in the article.

> Americas have trees, meat, rivers, oxygen, grasslands, forests, birds

Exploitable constrained human power shipped across a sea by way of a costly, lossy transport system. Colonising the Americas without a latent labour pool and social hierarchy to swap over would have been near impossible for pre-industrial Europe.

It would have required long-term support across months of shipping and communication time for purchase of unknown resources in unknown time scales in respect of unknown risks. Sound familiar?

Okay but we haven’t found that for mental health and it may not exist, so what’s your point?
A lot of people who post here meet the diagnostic criteria, and maybe they aren't ready to confront something new and scary about themselves. That's fine, it's something one needs to do when ready. Easier to say "That doesn't apply to me" if you're not ready to do the work; confronting an ASD diagnosis late in life is not an easy task.
I think it depends. If you’re not willing to budge from your position, then yeah, sleep it off. If you feel like you may have been in the wrong, admit it earlier. Go to bed less stressed.

But I think the real meat of the saying isn’t really about going to bed angry or whatever. It’s about trying to resolve the issue (going to bed is just a forcing function). If you’re a couple who can’t amenably resolve issues, you’re not going to last very long.

Right-click the Dock icon (keep holding the button), move your mouse up to the window you want in the menu, then let go to activate that window.

I typically just keep part of each of my windows viable, so I can simply click on them, if I'm going back and forth. So it's still just one click. I got out of the habit of maximizing windows a couple decades ago when I first got a Mac and my first widescreen display.
