From skimming the docs, this is more about WP database than WP itself. In other words, you could install WP to setup the DB and then kill the WP install if you liked.

1. It looks like it only works with that which would be provided by WP by default. For example, the link below is an extension for working with Woocommerce. Given that WP doesn't even need to exist (you only need the WP DB) then you could use whatever setup is compatible with Laravel. You could also have separate environments with WP and Laravel sharing a remote DB.

2. Both WP and Laravel would work as if the other didn't exist. They only share the DB.

As somebody who had been outside all the time during childhood and hated exercise starting with the PE in school, I don't think your guess is well founded in reality. None of my childhood friends had been keen on exercise either and PE was not the most popular class in my school...

For me there is a huge difference of doing something that requires physical exertion in order to complete and doing pointless physical exertion for exertion's sake. I can skate on a board or skates, or ride a bike for hours because it's about skill and technique for me, I feel frustrated after running for a minute. Similarly I can free-dive whole day but swimming laps feels like a massive chore.

I believe some people can enjoy exercise but, judging by how many fit people are there - they are in small minority.

Mars has less than 1% the atmosphere of earth. That makes it easier in some ways and more difficult in others. I don't think you can really judge the performance when landing on Earth by looking at the performance when landing on Mars.

The big problem is that we have funded fusion at "Fusion Never" levels.

Had we shoved as much money at fusion as we have at, say, horizontal drilling for liquified dinosaurs, we'd have fusion right now.
Man I guess I'm on a similar journey.

I started vipassana meditation which is similar to a religional practice. "which is an idea that was hunting me since teen years." things like this unveils during the practice.

And I'm also kinda on a "retirement" to explore both the inner world and something I'm interested in.

Good luck on your life onwards.
Are blue animals rare? They are certainly not that rare as a casual search turns up hundreds of photos of blue lizards, butterflies, Beatles, spiders, birds, starfish, fish, whales, sharks, and other miscellaneous sea and land creatures.
Argon is basically a rounding error in atmospheric gases.

Xenon has been the gas anesthetic of the future for a long time now. It does have one set of good qualities: it's not halogenated (like all common gas anesthetics), but it's nonflammable (there are very good anesthetic gases, like cyclopropane, that are extremely flammable and have thus been totally phased out of use), and because it's such a heavy atom, it essentially never leaves the atmosphere - no matter how much you use, you can always recapture it from the atmosphere.

It's not particularly cheap, though.
As someone who's built/designed multiple metal 3D printers before, this actually looks really cool. Every metal 3D printer requires high temperatures, inert and reducing gasses to prevent oxidation, and most of them require powdered metal, whether for something like DMLS or powder bed technologies. The accuracy is also impressive.

One of the ancillary ideas that I and a few others came up with in exploring binder jetting was 3D organ printing because the feature size is quite small. I wonder if there's a world where you could use an analogous process on a solution of individual cells.
That makes sense, for me I can do everything you talked about, including having them as detailed as my attention to them and doing spacial manipulations, but I simply cannot bring them into the real world so to speak, to superimpose them on my vision. They still exist only in my mind's eye, the plane behind and above my visual plane, as the commenter said above.
Not really. The point of an exam is to assess whether or not the student has learned the material.

That an LLM can answer all the questions in 2024 is not really all that much different from how it was circa 1980 when probably every integral on my calculus exam was in a table of integrals that I could buy at the college bookstore.

It's just one more thing to add to the list of things that you need to prevent students from using during the exam. In 1980 that included that table of integrals on calculus exam. In 2024 it needs to include LLMs.

What distinguishes the offerings from Fabric8Labs from the offerings from long-established companies like Desktop Metal[1] that are capable of printing parts using a wide range of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, and tungsten?

The tungsten capability really throws me for a loop. As someone who TIG welds in my spare time, I can’t imagine having a machine in my shop that could make electrodes. The amount of energy required must be … a lot.

I would say it’s clear that solar panels are absolutely working extremely well today, at least as long as you don’t live too close to the poles.

Renewables all together is growing faster than nuclear ever did. And solar is now a huge part of that.

We have models where solar or solar+wind is providing all the power to everything from small remote weather stations through houses to large islands. Some small countries and regions are getting close too.

It’s clear that we have all the technologies we need to do 100% renewables. There’s studies that indicate that the long term costs of this is lower than the traditional fossil and nuclear energy infrastructure. We just need to build the factories to continue scaling up. And of course the transition is more expensive than it’ll be when we just maintain and expand on the system.
Why the sun? In terms of delta-V that's the hardest target to hit in the entire solar system, since you have to zero out all of earth's orbital velocity.

Don't undersell things-- I would say the 2600rgb is a much higher quality source than a composite mod!

Make sure to check if it's legal in your jurisdiction before attempting to go and buy it.

Saying that from personal experience after I returned to Australia from the UK, and popped into a local pharmacist to grab some to try it out. The lady behind the counter and the customer next to her acted like I'd literally asked to buy heroin. (!)

It turns out Melatonin wasn't legal to buy at that time (a few years ago now), though the law has apparently been changed since.

This is better than the "stacked ranking" methodology.

Was there ever a reason given as to why “explicit” was chosen over a hypothetical “implicit”?
Managers got way to much power over their subordinates. The looming one-sided threat of being instant-fired cultivates such a psychotic inducing culture of ass-kissing it is not healthy for a company.

I guess Netflix could make the rule bilateral? "Should we hire your boss right now?" being asked each quarter.

If such a thing were invented it would effectively become mandatory, because anybody not willing to use it would be out-competed for work by people who were.
I have bought a lot of stuff at estate auctions. Yeah, a generic estate sale will not generate a lot of money, but if you have serious art (i.e., it would sell to more than a local audience), it can bring in quite a bit. I saw an Alan Bean (the astronaut) painting at one; ended up going for over $30k. And the estate gets all of that; the auction house charges a premium (in this case, 25%) paid by the buyer, but the official auction price is what the seller gets.
rlwrap is fantastic. here's a multichannel text chat system for other people who can ssh to the same host, with command-line editing, cross-session history, and logging provided by rlwrap:

#!/bin/sh
# Simple chat system frontend, wrapping gyap in rlwrap and maybe ssh.
: ${GYAP_LOGFILE=$HOME/gyap.log} ${GYAP_COMMAND=gyap}
if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then
rlwrap -C gyap -l "$GYAP_LOGFILE" "$GYAP_COMMAND" "$@"
else
host=$1; shift
rlwrap -C gyap -l "$GYAP_LOGFILE" ssh "$host" "$GYAP_COMMAND" "$@"
fi

the actual chat system is another 10-line shell script called `gyap`

#!/bin/sh
: Simple chat system. cf. rgyap. ${nick=${1-$USER}} ${chan=${2-/var/tmp/chat}}
echo "Chatting on $chan as <$nick> (override with $0 \$nick [\$chan])"
touch "$chan" && chmod 666 "$chan" 2>/dev/null
sign() {
echo "$(date +%T) * $nick signed $1 ($(date +%05Y-%m-%d))" >> "$chan"
}
echo "Press ^R if a chat line appears as you are typing. Recently:"
tail -Fn 16 "$chan" & pid=$?; trap "sign off; sleep .1; kill $pid" 0
sign on; while read t; do echo "$(date +%T) <$nick> $t"; done >> "$chan"

from http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/gyap and http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/rgyap

it's not secure of course; anyone can spoof anyone else or fill up your /var/tmp disk, or read the log without signing onto the channel

it would be nice to have rlwrap options to customize tab-completion, for example for expanding to recently-mentioned nicks or slapping someone around a bit with a large trout

I fount that the so called "engineering culture" toxic to some extend. People arguing merely for their own resume looking more advanced instead of helping people.

Yeah, until any details are provided, I would just assume that the ISP already requires that users install some kind of software, and they just pushed the malware through that program.
Maybe this is better viewed through a cultural lens?

Culture is "here's how we do things." I suspect that incentives work a lot better if they're reinforcing culture than if they're working against it. Going against cultural practices requires strong incentives, and even then it's hard.

I'm reminded of businesses trying to keep employees from holding doors open for strangers who look the part. This is going against ingrained cultural practices about common courtesy and incentives alone are likely not enough. If it's important enough, you might need a doorman.

But your manager operates in a jurisdiction where defamation law exists.

Defame someone verbally and it is slander, defame someone in writing and it is libel. A defamatory statement must be false.

When psychopaths ascend, they will abuse their position and assassinate the character of people that cannot be used as pawns. When I say psychopaths, note that only a subset of managers are psychopaths, but psychopathic traits are favored by organizations and they are more likely to become managers, and that subset is highly toxic.

Freedom of expression has limits, defamation is one of them. You cannot just say whatever you want and cause financial losses to others.

The fiction created by a psychopathic manager through manipulation can cross legal lines. And it is time to put an end to this practice that plagues engineering organizations. It is time to let the justice system do its work.

We have enough technology to automatically detect problematic behaviors like sycophancy and other types of manipulation with AI and take that as a factor in evaluations, or take administrative action. In this way, we can finally let people focus on doing their job without the distractions of office politics. i.e.: analyze the sentiment of words used with peers vs managers and if sentiment diverges too much then fire the sycophant, and if a manager only has sycophants as reports, fire the manager too.

And while we are at it, completely destroy the culture of lying through idioms such as "maybe later", "I will think about it" instead of simply saying "no" as they are predictors for dishonesty which ultimately it is a waste of time.

Being a manager should require a license and manipulative behavior past certain limits should get it permanently revoked. We need to make a piñata out of the concept of being a professional liar in an engineering organization as a source of income, we are better than this.
I hadn't thought about the `sizeof(T)` point before, and I can think of a handful of exceptions, but it's a great and expressive rule of thumb.
You're closer to the action than me and very probably much better informed, but the opinion I've formed from across the Southern Pacific is that Millei's 'minarchist' rhetoric is mostly theatre and that he's in fact very similar to the many leaders that have been put in place or helped into power in South America before by the (mostly external) financial interests who want to keep plundering and extracting its resources.
There are security vulnerabilities due to expediency and there are others due to ignorance. Expediency is an organizational issue. Ignorance could be considered organizational or personal.

Part of the issue with software engineering as a field is we keep telling ourselves that university isn’t vocational training, even though we act as if it is. So it’s entirely possible (even likely) that a new grad hasn’t heard of any of the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities, but they will know how to reverse a linked list. Organizations can harden themselves by making sure everyone has a minimum understanding of the most common threats. If you save a password in plaintext it’s malpractice at this point.

Second thing is you need to have someone in the organization whose job isn’t beholden to expediency. Studies have to pass an ethics review before they’re greenlit. Maybe a product should at least get some eyeballs before it’s implemented.
Cast that thought in terms of state. If all the state can be represented up front then plans are great. But if the understanding of the problem changes half way through a project and previously un-identified state is found during the runtime then a plan-execute pattern will get ugly quickly.

It is good to name things, but the challenge to manage isn't in the implementing of a plan-execute architecture. It is in identifying the threshold where there is enough runtime state in the problem domain that a plan-execute architecture can't be sustained.
This isn't quite the same thing, I think. The Cypress one has decent software for reading individual PD packets and debugging PD/TCPM implementations.

Even if you can read out the packets with that, it doesn't look like it has a good pre-existing analysis software for it, which is a large part of the value proposition for the cypress version.

That’s a fair point about it merely mirroring the grandparent’s exercise, and looking back on it my post had an unnecessarily antagonistic start. But I do believe it’s worth telling people that crappy jobs are crappy for reasons besides pure hourly pay; they have other features that are both demeaning and austere.
Wild-caught fish are likely not included in that statisic, but vegetables surely would be. Growing vegetables is the quintessential example of farming.

E.g. "Give me something in the ballpark of 4 KiB; more is OK, but tell me how much".

It would allow the allocator to return a chunk it has handy, instead of cutting it to size and fragmenting things, only to be asked to make the chunk larger a few microseconds later.

It will save both on housekeeping and fragmentation handling if the caller knows that the chunk will likely need to grow.
"This makes sense to me because I'm in the in-group" is basically how I feel about "unlimited vacation" policies. If you've a Type A person who's tight with your boss, it's great.

A log aggregation store that can handle deletes is a security and compliance problem. Try proving to an auditor that a hacker couldn't have hacked in and then covered their tracks by deleting the logs.
Just by buying an electric vehicle I already have more than enough batteries to solve these problems for my household.

The transition to EVs - which is a hard necessity to solve climate change, and well on the way - implies battery production that’s already within an order of magnitude of storing enough solar to supply power year round. As long as you’re not too close to the poles, but most people don’t live there anyway (said as someone who lives relatively close to the arctic circle.. so I don’t mean to ignore our people, there’s just not that many of us so doesn’t matter so much in terms of global warming impact)

Nuclear energy can often benefit from some energy storage too. One of the first pumped hydro plants was to balance nuclear. It’s the opposite problem: people consume most of their energy during the day (when the sun is shining!) but nuclear should ideally run 100% 24/7.

I suspect a renaissance of nuclear, whether it’s fusion or fission, will also be paired with lots of battery storage. As batteries will probably soon be a cheaper way of load balancing than having to ramp production from nuclear up and down.
