Yet another analogy is designing and presenting a radar detector/jammer but never using it on public roads.

Until the author has used the tool on the UW server during registration, he is not violating their policies and procedures: He hasn't attempted to tamper with records. He admittedly hasn't used their registration system with this tool. Those are the two key phrases in their policy. The text goes on to specifically describe abuse as "use" of a script or robot. There isn't anything forbidding a student from authoring a script.

One problem here is that by releasing the source, it makes it easier for another student to exploit the system. In the case where another student uses this tool during registration, the other student is fully responsible.

Besides all that, it's a great project idea because everyone in his program would instantly relate to the problem.

It's easy to understand the University's overreaction---and it is an overreaction. The better solution from UW would have been to sternly inform the student(s), "The website can never go live. It dies as a proof of concept. Please use your own dummy data; no API access. A disclaimer must be added to any class demos (presentations, code, etc.) with the Tampering and Abuse policy, and that this only uses generated data. Our efforts to improve the registration system in the future will be X, Y, Z."

This student has done nothing wrong (yet) (based on what he revealed) and is getting punished for being near the border.
I have Optiplex Micros too. If they have a Wifi card then you can convert that to a 3rd SSD drive, perfect for RAID, mirrored ZFS etc
Focus on what other's have to say. The rest will follow.

However, the thing that really helped me, is to actually focus on telling a story or anecdote. A story should have a single insight and it should be about you, something that changed the way you think, or something that has been funny or profound.

The best books on that is Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks.
The Failure of British Federalism: Imperial and Domestic
As a user, you can use extension like LocalCDN. Instead of having your browser download common libraries and fonts, the extension would intercept the request and serve the local version. Even better in terms of privacy and security.
UK person invokes US law to get at other UK person, because a link in the chain is in the US.

As with DMCA laws, this is a big problem, as it gives the US tremendous power it shouldn't rightfully have.

It's hard to know how to unwind this problem, the big platforms are too big, it's not realistic to find UK alternatives for things like cloudflare or Youtube.
I guess I never had a 'normie' style but since I've started to wear mostly bright, pastel or at least light colours people are actually nicer and more interested.

I haven't found any negative side effects other than the lost feeling when I accidently wear grey and the world somehow feels different.
The Smart Launch Behind Eight Sleep's $1.2M Crowdfunding Success
There isn't any mention of socialism, or anything related to it in your link.

It sounds like a classic balance of payments issue (importing too much compared to exports/tourism/other revenues) being hit with an exploding in price critical import (oil). Sri Lanka had the same issues just a few years back, was it "socialism" too?
Focusing on cheap would be the real “niche” area here. There are plenty of alternative boards if price is your driving concern.
Carbon Removal Credits for your Raspberry Pi
Saw on the new Raspberry Pi post [1] that they are recommending this company to offset the carbon cost of producing a Raspberry Pi.

I don't like AirBnB, but still use it. Sometimes there are no places available on booking.com. (That said I only used it in EU regions and if I recall correctly I never had any disputes with them.)

So I guess casual low-needs travelers (couples) use it a lot?

Of course I use Raspberry, as I already mentioned - it's great for learning typical embedded stuff. But if the use-case is different than embedded, and more like a server or PC, then just go with PC. I too frequently see people putting too much effort into turning a small SBC into a fully-fledged PC, with a poor effect of course.
At my work we use NUCs a lot - we put them into custom enclosure together with touch screen (1920x1080, not something small), then mount that on CNC machines to let users browse work plans, access ERP etc., get measuring data from dislocated unit, etc.
I'm self-employed, and the existence of a top-down hierarchical power structure is not evidence that one is necessary. We're also now several straw mans away from the original argument.
in Amsterdam, there seems to have been a slight counter culture movement against this in the last few years, combined with heavy 80s-00s nostalgia. the beige look feels very influencer or tasteless upper/middle class to me.
“...find partners to trade spots in critical classes after they filled up”.

I am not from the USA and I don’t understand the context. What does “trade spots” mean? Does it mean that if I have registered to course A but not course B and my friend have registered to course B but not course A, we can swap our registered courses in the official registration system?
Boyscouting works because you don’t need to get permission to fix tech debt when it is bundled with something else. 98% of those tickets you file to fix warts will never be addressed because the business demands that time is spent on features that make money.
As you describe it, it sounds like some element of the university may have made a mistake, but (no offense) I'm not yet certain that you fully understand the situation and are being fully forthright.

Hopefully, the matter will be cleared up quickly and satisfactorily, for all parties.

> I am not planning to get a lawyer involved as I have faith that [university] leadership will make it right in the end.

Ironically, the fact that you went public on what could be a delicate internal matter might've escalated things, more than consulting a lawyer would.

At a university, if there's at least one specific administrator or full professor who you both trust, and think has clout to resolve the matter satisfactorily, then trusting the university to make things right might be reasonable.

Or, if your university is a rare one that has unusually good conventions of honorable behavior, which you know are practiced by most (including administrators, faculty, staff, and students), and there are effective checks and balances for when that fails, then maybe you're also OK.

But, in most universities, when an official is talking about possibly ruining your career/life, then either you fudged up really-really badly (so, consult a lawyer), or you're in danger of learning just how bad a largely unaccountable institution of largely unaccountable individuals can get (so, consult a lawyer).

Also, if an official you're talking with ever asks if you've filed a lawsuit, and says they have to stop talking with you if you do, don't say that you want to work collegially with the university to resolve the situation internally. A shitty person hearing that will totally take advantage of naive you, to neutralize the risk from you. Run, don't walk, to consult a lawyer.
How does Raspberry teach anything about bootloaders? It's probably unique, it functions completely different compared to all other bootloaders and it's closed source.

Cross compilation is much less tested so it's not uncommon to have hidden bugs in the package's build system that break cross compilation. Or that developers straight up disregard cross compilation if they're e.g. hand-rolling Makefiles.

This is sad, devastating, and not surprising. Yet, people voted for policies that will further accelerate climate change and its consequential destructions in the next four years. As someone not living in the US, this is unbelievable to witness. Where did it all go wrong inside of people's heads?

The issue here seems to be that human memory is going to be just short enough to be dangerously useless against a natural phenomenon that is decently regular, but happens in a 30 to 150 years intervals.

Yes, the lies the administration told about masks are one of the worst things done this century. There should be a reckoning for officials who lie to us for our own good.
It would bring me great joy if this were true.

One thing I have noticed is that regular meetups (such as standups and the like), everyone keeps cameras off. Gatherings of people who know each other less well, cameras are more likely to be on.

I suspect this fatigue thing is why, but I’d never thought about it before.

19% of users say the content they see on X leans liberal, vs. 18% who say it leans conservative [1]. Despite still leaning liberal, this makes X by far the most balanced social media platform - Instagram is 23% vs. 7%, Facebook 22% vs. 12%, and TikTok 22% vs. 6% liberal vs. conservative [1].

It is also the most balanced in terms of users, with 47% vs. 48% leaning republican vs. democrat [2].

Will the EU be energetically probing left-wing bias on those other platforms?

> I immediately notice the difference in my mood walking into a modern office where the walls are essentially giant glass windows […]

What's the R-value [1] / U-factor on all of those windows? In offices, even though a thermometer / thermostat reads 20C/70F in both summer and winter, people feel cold: the giant office windows work as "anti-radiators", where energy wants to move from your body/skin to them.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_radiant_temperature

I also find the first thing that what many folks do is pull down the blinds on windows in offices so they can actually see their screens. :)

There was one time that I found bed bugs on arrival and took a picture (thank goodness I was able to escape without carrying any); they gave me a full refund + some extra inconvenience money (in cash, not airbnbucks). Probably would have been much more complicated if I had stayed a night or if I hadn't been able to get a picture / easy proof. But it was nice to have Airbnb as a 3rd party in that instance.
Please no AI.
I would love to be able to zoom out beyond solar system and grasp a sense of how far we are from other stars and our place in our galaxy, etc.
They shouldn't be "forced" to continue associating with someone; they should not change their position on whether or not they should associate with said person based on this situation.

That sounds abstract, but such concepts already exist. If you have a restaurant, you are allowed to refuse to serve someone who happens to be a member of a race R, but you are not allowed to refuse someone _because_ they are a member of race R.
If you need a PC, as in a desktop or a generic server, by all means buy a PC.

If you need a ton of fast and sophisticated GPIO, small size, light weight. passive cooling, battery-powered operation, a PC starts looking a bit problematic. That's where an RPi fits in.
I booked a place that said it has a washing machine, it did not have a washing machine, Airbnb let me cancel that month and gave me some extra credit to book another place.

Another host tried to get me to pay a deposit in cash, I complained to Airbnb, he eventually agreed to drop it. I got Airbnb to let me cancel anyway because he was pissed off and I just didn't want to deal with it for a month.

One place had loads of mold and absolutely stank, Airbnb let me cancel.

From what I remember, they refunded with credits, not real money, but for me it's basically the same thing. I do find it really annoying, because then I'm looking for a place last minute and all the cheap & good places are gone, so I end up paying more than I'd like. But it still happens infrequently enough, and I find the alternatives less appealing.

> I’ve stayed in countless 5 stars rated places that are completely disappointing.

As in a 5.0, all 5 stars? I don't think I've ever even seen one, let alone stayed in one. Everything is usually between 4-4.8. But yeah, I agree, the ratings are completely useless. Also the "dedicated workspace" filter option is useless as well, every host seems to put even when when the only usable surface for a laptop is 50cm near the kitchen sink.

Don't get me wrong, I wish Airbnb was better, and I have read/heard some horror stories. I might be one nightmare experience away from ditching them, but for now, I just wanted to provide my experience as someone that still uses Airbnb and find it's good enough.
This bring old memories back, I implemented something similar on a motorola 68360 ages ago. Since the size of the buffer I used was not huge I skipped the pointers and simply enumerated each chunk, it was remarkably efficient and stable.
what would it take to get ultra low latency audio over the internet? wired ethernet at both ends, no starlink, peer to peer, small packets, no bluetooth. Probably no javascript and possibly dedicated hardware for the mic/speaker, given how shitty the latency of some sound cards is

I saw the Maurice Broomfield exhibition and have the book of the same name (Industrial Sublime), which is still widely available and recommended for anyone interested in this area.

On the same visit to the V&A I also saw some of Bernd and Hilla Becher's work (water towers etc) which has since sent me on a journey of discovery of The Dusseldorf School of Photography. The style of some photographers from this genre (especially the Bechers, Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer) may well appeal to anyone interested in industrial photography, while perhaps not strictly of the same genre. I am headed to a small Candida Höfer exhibition in London this weekend. Definitely have been enjoying this particular rabbit hole immensely!

Kioxia AiSAQ SSD-Backed RAG for Larger Scale AI Models – ServeTheHome
That's the Kellerberrin B&S, I think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_and_Spinster_Ball. Hence why the uploader called it a BnS, the girl at the start says "welcome to the blokes and skanks ball", everyone's driving a ute with a sick bullbar instead of mum's station wagon, and they look like they're all fucked up on Bundy and coke instead of MDMA and coke.

Not quite the same thing as a bush doof.

Show HN: A simple image resizer to 3000x3000 pixels and an experience
Hi HN! As a programming hobbyist, I have made this stuff that can resize any images to 3000x3000 pixels with Cursor. And I find that it's important to use "docs" or "web" function when you're coding. I was using "react-image-crop" dependence, but AI wasn't good at using it. But it did the work perfectly when I let it browse https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-image-crop as docs.
So we can let AI learning quickly when necessary.
By the way, you can feel free to tell me what size images we always use if you like

Not quite the last - the XEGS (it's fair to say it's a progression from the original 8-bit ones from 1977) and the Apple //c plus is from 1987 (but this is a very different computer from the //c, almost a redesign).
Well, if someone hasn't left Windows for Linux because of Lightroom even though Darktable exists there, then I doubt they're going to leave Windows for SteamOS because Darktable.

(Darktable is great, but network effects and integrations keep people in Lightroom; stuff like youtube videos, uploader plugins to gallery sites, presets, education and shared knowledge among photographers.)
Pokémon is kind of an edge case considering that it's originally "Pocket Monsters" anyways (even on the retail packaging) and "Pokémon" is then derived from the Japanese abbreviation.

A while ago I used whisper (or rather an OSS subtitle tool that used whisper, sadly can’t remember the name; it also converted burned in subs to proper ones via OCR) to generate subtitles for a season of a Show (4 season DVD set, 1 had proper subs, 2 burned in subs, 1 no subs -.-), too old and not popular enough to have "scene" subs, it worked impressively well. The most memorable thing for me was that a character’s scream was properly attributed to the correct character.

I’d love a feature like that for Jellyfin eventually.

Just a hunch that this could be a mistake of an overzealous community mod that thought that the nick Luigi Mangione was a troll... and that Evan Carroll is the best troll on the Stack Exchange network and he pushed the situation as he does and simply had the opposite effect than he thought he would ("Evan Carroll is flamebaiting again? There's no real problem, give him one year suspension" instead of "Oi, did someone make a mistake here here?")
