You have to prove they lied. I.e. that they knew they were defrauding customers, which goes to intent. Though I suppose it could be lying only later, in the cover up -- if Logan was stupid/lazy enough to trust dishonest people to build his game then deny or renege on refunds.

Regardless I imagine we'll find out soon as he sues CoffeeZilla since he may be countersued or be otherwise unmasked in discovery. CZ already has videos of Logan saying CZ is a stand up guy who does good reporting.
Sometimes you need to lay things out differently to help comprehensibility.

Braces and semicolons exist so you can do that.

Sometimes it's just easier to read an array that's split over multiple lines.

Sometimes it's just easier to read a statement that's split over multiple lines.

Sometimes it's just easier to read two statements sharing the same line.

If your language's restrictions is making code harder to read, then it's making your job harder than it needs to be.
I'll stick up for global variables in this context. Think of it as a DSL for stories. For a story, most state is inherently global. Story progress is global, history is global, much as it is for the actual globe. The current scene is global, because the inputs and display are global. It's not a coincidence that globals are also intuitive for relatively non-technical people who won't just go straight for Python, because that's the default mindset until you build something complicated enough for globals to bite you.

Re Pickle, besides the counterpoint you already mentioned, people probably aren't downloading saved games off the Internet, so to exploit Pickle an attacker would already need to have disk write access. At that point, exploiting a VN would appear to be low-ROI.

I haven't used it, but I don't love the script syntax. I think it wants to look like a screenplay, but it actually looks like the unholy lovechild of Python and assembly. I can easily believe it gets worse from there.

Oh so many systems take "pass the buck" to an insane level. My employer switched insurance providers recently. Twice we were referred to a specialist for one of my kids and each time it took about a week for the referral to be approved (apparently the PCP referring you isn't enough with this HMO).

The only thing that has changed is my HMO; the kids still have the same pediatrician with the same office staff for which referrals were never a problem in the past. However, the insurance company made sure to tell me that they are not the ones delaying it, because it's technically the administrative department of my pediatrician that has to do the referral review. The fact that insurance company mandates that the referral review must be performed by a licensed nurse and follow a byzantine process, of course, has nothing to do with the delay.

I have a business fixing broken code/systems (especially if it is stressful and last minute); if you are tired/annoyed of something in the software market, just up your fees. For us not much changed; a lot of badly (throw the spec over the wall) outsourced software was fairly bad since forever; AI generated code is similar. I guess this will grow even faster though, as normally solid developers might take on a lot more work and get sloppy with AI.
It's a support issue in a sense, but in many contexts people want to offer a better support experience than "anything more is billable work". A reputation for being helpful and customer-friendly is valuable, especially in a business where you're selling to other programmers, and you can't buy that reputation after the fact with money from support contracts.
FWIW, I dated a psychologist for a while, and we talked about this specific monologue.

She primarily worked with sexual abuse victims, but spent a lot of time veterans as well. Her focus was PTSD, and talk therapy is really effective for PTSD.

Her opinion was, in world war 1, They didn't really have the psychologic or physical frameworks to really distinguish. Certainly, some people had mechanical damage, like football players. Certainly, some people really had a hard time experiencing the horrors of war. They just didn't really know.

Calling it shell shock, that helped some of the veterans. Helped them sorta get that they're not alone. People have dealt with this for a long time.

Rape victims, shell shock isn't a great name. For a lot of reasons.

It's kinda about recognizing that this trauma is a real thing, there's nothing wrong with you. This is a normal reaction, everyone goes through it. Some people need a little help finding their way back to normal.

This is relatable. I started a side SaaS project that saw some success so I put payments in, and it slowly grew into a small business. The product was targeted towards digital marketers, but also unfortunately appealed to scammers as part of their scam "flow". It was a constant fight in moderating the userbase, a bunch of Stripe disputes, etc. It was profitable but the headaches in moderating the userbase and dealing with disputes (which cost $25 on top of the refund, by the way), support tickets from obvious scammers etc. was draining and turned me off the project all together.

I started another product in a different niche which also showed some success and eventually overtook it and allowed me to quit my 9-5. I shuttered the original product as it wasn't worth the hassle. The quality of the customer in the new niche is so much higher and therefore the mental drain is a lot lower.

Might be kind of hard to "destigmatize" the underlying concept behind the various ways of saying someone isn't very smart.

The general tendency of most people to favor the in-group probably also provides enough of an underlying reality to make it hard to "destigmatize" the various ways of calling someone part of the out-group.

Several dozen major ones, starting at cellulose.

And before you think I'm missing the point: Well, no, cellulose didn't biodegrade for what IIRC several hundred million years. That's why there's no such coal.

It still barely biodegrades.

Looks cool. The natural minor is missing the flat 3rd, though. You might want to fix that both on the screen and in the PDFs.

It might be helpful to put a flat sign or sharp sign in the dots to really drive it home, too. That way you don't have to reference the blacked keys so often.

Since you're using it to learn piano, it seems confusing to me that your scale notes look like black keys, which are all flats on the piano. Wouldn't it make more sense to have a piano octave skeuomorph there?

Gambling can be such a big problem but it's often completely invisible.

In an average day, I don't think about gambling, porn, doordash, alcohol, or any of these things much at all, and then I'll randomly have a conversation and find out a friend can't do something because they spent too much on it.

It seems like people who have these issues are often fairly pro-risk, and into antifragility and confidence culture type ideas, and I always wonder if that has anything to do with it.

They seem to be very comfortable with responsibility and self reliance, they like the "I can pick a winner, I know when to stop, I have this under control" idea rather than the idea of trying to pursue inherent safety.

And many seem to feel that really big problems are just a part of life to embrace and accept. Sometimes you'll see people who become homeless, and all they talk about is how much they learned. They don't seem to think security is a possibility for them, and they don't even want it.

I suspect they do a lot of self evaluation and a lot of time wondering if they are good enough, smart enough, strong enough, etc. walking away and never gambling again would be to say they don't actually know the game.

But losing and being poor just shows their dedication and ability to cope with changing circumstances.

Maybe their evaluation of their own skill has a bigger impact on their happiness than whether they can eat that week.

There's almost a perverse incentive to keep the challenge around, if it is your biggest issue and dealing with it makes you feel strong, and at the same time, not dealing with the problem leaves you alone and undistracted with your self hate.

But this is all very armchair psychology based on observing a few very extreme cases, full of emotions and desires I don't really understand.
How well are the CUDA and Jax related packages supported by uv?
Like the family member of the parent post, she was discharged against her will into a public area in the freezing cold. The police involvement came after negligence by the hospital staff.

That she quickly died of complications is potentially different from the op, yes, but I don't see why you think it is materially different. Because the police were there? That parallels being discharged into a shady place in a strange downtown at 2am. They made him leave as well. Being alone wasn't what I was referring to, and it wasn't what happened to the op. She most definitely was, "kicked to the curb."

Here is the rest of the context in case it saves anyone a click through:

A video released by police showed officers struggle for about 25 minutes to move Edwards into a police van and finally a cruiser. Edwards repeatedly asks for help. But she is rebuffed by officers and hospital security guards who become frustrated with her inability to step up into the van and tell her she is faking her incapacity.

After she is placed in a police cruiser, video shows Edwards trying to pull herself upright repeatedly, but eventually she slumps over out of sight. Several minutes later, one of the officers performs a traffic stop on another vehicle while Edwards remains in the backseat.

When he opens the rear door, Edwards is unresponsive. He calls dispatch for an ambulance, telling them, “I don’t know if she’s faking it or what, but she’s not answering me.”

Edwards was pronounced dead at the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center the following day.

“This was an emergency medical condition that began and worsened on hospital property and that was unequivocally preventable and treatable,” the lawsuit states.

That natural minor is incorrect; it's missing the 3rd degree. It could be argued that the melodic minor is only correct when ascending, but I suppose I'm just being nit-picky.

I can see how this makes someone comfortable playing scales on the piano, but I'm not sure how this teaches someone the circle of fifths. I'm probably only saying this because I know it already, but I think learning the circle of fifths is easier without an instrument in front of you, instead of trying to find a way to use the instrument as a vehicle to learn it. Applying it to an instrument becomes easier when you know it in your head first.

The legalese here is a bit mind-numbing but as I understand it, the core of the issue is that Google collected Chrome users' browsing history, even when they opted it syncing their account.

While this doesn't suprise me and I've used Firefox mostly exclusively for lack of trust in Google, i do find this concerning. I wonder what info was collected, how it was collected, where it is or was stored and how I can request an overview and deletion of this. Here in the EU Google must provide these things.

I hope this gets picked up in the EU for more in depth mitigation than just a lawsuit that will drag on for years and is mostly monetary. I don't really care about that, I just want the issue removed.
Each of us only gets one life. If most of that time is spent being unnecessarily exposed to pollutants with adverse health effects, then we have good reason to be outraged.

What are you even talking about? I've been masking with 3M Aura masks for years now and only got three vax shots so far (because I barely ever leave the house and I've developed a fainting problem and anxiety in relation to a lot of situations now, I would get more shots if I could but w/e) and I haven't gotten sick yet. My father and my stepmother have gotten all of the vaccinations but my dad who leaves the house more often stopped masking after a while and he got sick and then got my stepmom sick (they live in another house separate from me). As far as I can tell masks are the only thing along with limiting exposure that actually stop spread.

I thought that, too. Ascending and descending are not the same for melodic minor. I don't think modern music takes that into account anymore, but certainly classical music does. So at the least, it would be best to label which one it is, as to avoid confusion after learning it this way and coming across a piece of music that uses the ascending/descending versions. (It sounds pretty wonky if you ignore them in practice, too!)
I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding your suggestion, but if I am, the flats and sharps in the dots could be misleading. In the dots it, the accidentals would be relative to the tonic, but it wouldn't actually mean that the note being played is sharp or flat.

This seems to miss one of the key roles euphemism plays (and why it courts controversy) it is interventionist and draws attention to a pattern of thought in order to get you to think differently about it. Part of the role a phrase like “differently abled” plays is to estrange your base assumptions about disability and to signal the existence of and your membership in a group of people concerned to change the conditions around disability (note that this is not the same as signaling “virtue” although it may do that as well—what I’m talking about is the construction and renewal of group identity around a social project).

Accordingly, you need new words whenever the old ones become standard, since at that point they no longer serve the estranging/interventionist role.

Yes, but with Python/etc you can at least do the same logic in a plain loop, which is much slower but serves as a more reliable reference of what the data is supposed to be, which can be used to validate the functionality of SQL output.

Is there an equivalent in SQL of this “slow and dumb” approach for validating? Like, I’m not sure if a lateral join is essentially doing the same thing under the hood.
Tactics to Start Scaling Software
We had the opposite. They tried on multiple occasions to evict my wife after a C section while she was in an incredible amount of pain.

They kept giving her an oxy in the morning, then after it set in, asking her to rate her pain level, and recording it. Which is backwards.

Then they blamed her for not asking for more pain meds, which she had.

Then they told her to just ask for more pain meds, which we did.

Then the nurse told her that shes not allowed to have any more pain meds. At which point I went full Karen, got our stay extended by 2 nights.

Apparently the midwives expected her to be walking up and down the corridor, which was not a requirement and not part of the treatment, just to demonstrate her pain levels.
It wouldn't be, since you've already decided they refer to the note and not its position. It'll help keep you cognizant of the sharps and flats without looking at the bottom every time.

Although this is for piano, your scale at the bottom looks like a really wonky piano keyboard. The black keys are actually all the white keys. Unless this is for a harpsichord, but I digress. It does show that you haven't decided whether a sharp or flat would refer to the note name or its position. If it was numbers at the bottom, it would indeed mean something different than if it has the alphabetic note names there, as it does. That shows very well what at least one of the problems with this chart is.

The way this is laid out means you are constantly doing multiple translations in order to learn a scale.

Automotive companies face several key challenges in testing modern vehicles, including:

1. Diverse Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) Chips: Managing high-speed data transmission across different vehicle models can be difficult due to the variety of SerDes chips used.

2. Reliability and Flexibility in Testing: Ensuring consistent results across unpredictable and complex testing environments is challenging.

3. Lengthy Development Cycles: Developing in-house testing tools can be time-consuming and delay time-to-market.

4. High Research and Development (R&D) Costs: Developing custom testing solutions can be prohibitively expensive, adding to the challenges of maintaining budget constraints.
