1) There wasn't a water shortage. The local reservoirs were full at the start of the fire. The problem was that there was so much simultaneous demand that there was insufficient water pressure. This was compounded by the destruction of pumping stations by the fire, and by the extreme winds preventing the use of aerial support (i.e., water and fire retardant) on Tuesday, when most of the Palisades were burned.

2) Salt water is highly corrosive to equipment, and also kills vegetation. But it used as a last resort when fresh water reservoirs are empty...and was used in previous Malibu fires...

3) For an example of how important aerial support is: the Sunset Fire and the Mt Wilson flameup of the Eaton fire were controlled within an hour each through the use of aerial water drops.

Lawyers in deep trouble for allegedly using AI to draft court papers
As a small correction that somewhat matters to this hypothetical, Microsoft had already moved away from Internet Explorer/Trident to Microsoft Edge/EdgeHTML. It was quite competitive and modern already.

So, they did not "move away from IE to catch up". They "dropped the Edge engine in favour of Blink (Chromium)". It feels very much like Microsoft just did not want to compete on the engine (run-to-stand-still) but rather just on the feature set. Who can blame them?

If you think about why Microsoft really switched, I think it is a fair question why Apple would not just do the same thing. I mean, as long as WebKit is the only engine allowed on iOS, it makes sense for them to control it. But as regulators force them to open that up, and perhaps put an end to the Google gravy-train, I think it is a fair question why Apple would spend that much money on a web engine when they do not have to.

You cannot fall behind the competition using Chromium as a base, because they are all using it too! It is the ultimate in safe corporate options.

Yes, it's a pretty good way of proving the server sent the email. That's all it proves. If the email came from gmail.com, it's up to Google to prove the person in the From: address composed the email. The signature can't prove that. Nonetheless almost everyone will accept that is what happened.

If Gmail received the email, it's likely they simply drop email with no or bad DKIM signatures. So if it's in your gmail inbox but a has signature that doesn't check out, to be categorically certain it was signed you would have to ask Google. But it's the same deal as the From: address - almost everyone is going to assume it was validly signed because that's gmail's policy.

TL/DR, I think your wrong. Rotating the key only weakens the proof slightly. The only thing that is destroyed is the cryptographic proof, but only in a fanatical cryptographers world is that the only form of acceptable proof. That fanatical cryptographer is wrong of course. Things outside of the mathematical certainty also matter. The rubber hose joke is funny, and the butt of that joke is fanatical cryptographers making that very assumption.
You’re being downvoted for poor critical thinking in this case, which led you to write a comment that doesn’t add to the conversation.

Of course the father is “heavily invested” in his son. That comes from decades of raising him, diapers, dinners, driving and him around, and probably also sharing 50% of his genes.
The way too long link was not "clickable", so I had to copy and paste it and remove some whitespace. However, the text "namespace" was quite easy to select, as the terminal makes selecting text easy (not all terminals are so well designed, but I tend to avoid such terminals) so there is no "clicking" as a mouse jockey might understand it. The modern web with a modern browser? That's been bad for years, maybe closing in on two decades. Too many geegaws that are at best useless distractions and at worst actively hinder useful things, such as selecting text from a page. Maybe there needs to be a "kill the links and javascript and CSS" mode, something like the reader mode I've heard about?

For github I usually clone the repository and have at it with cli tools, for anything more involved than "page around trying to find the README text placed helpfully somewhere towards the bottom of the page that may describe what the repository is about". Command line tools generally have a lower enshittification rate than the modern web, though I have heard stories about ads being added to certain linux tools. There are no technical reasons why pop-ups and annoying animations couldn't be added to a modern terminal program, and maybe even selecting text can be made difficult by making everything mouseable, for those of you who haven't compiled mouse support out of your terminal.
IIRC Finland was connected by then.
Even if this student isn't a member, the local graduate student union (https://www.uaw4121.org/) would probably be a useful ally. All TAs are in the bargaining unit, and UW CSE has _a lot_ of undergrad TAs, so I wouldn't even be surprised if this student is a present (or former) member.
OK, I’m glad that we agree that any healthcare system will deny care to some people. That’s my point: this is necessarily the case, so it cannot be automatically “violence” when that happens. It is extremely naive to believe that whenever that happens, the cause must be necessarily nefarious.

> It's just that in practice, in general any public system works more towards the benefit of society than for some shareholders.

I think that this is simply empirically false. You cannot just assert something like this, you need to provide evidence for it.

> To be blunt: if the government individuals take decisions that degrade the public healthcare system, for their own benefit, whatever that is, then those individuals should maybe be shot in public too.

And here is the critical question: is there any evidence whatsoever that Bryan Thompson made any decision like that? As far as I can tell, there is absolutely zero. Many just decided he must be guilty of something, but nobody actually points to anything in particular.

> It's not a matter of awareness, the public knows how perverse the incentives of private health insurance are, and how a public system can do much better.

Again, you are asserting something that’s far from being universally agreed on. Public healthcare systems have their troubles too, and if you ask anyone with experience with both, you will not find people universally preferring their public experience. Ask Canadians or Brits how long it takes to get a visit at a specialist, for example.
> The Javascript stops working when printed to physical paper. The resulting paper just has a static image and the controls no longer work.

Not an expert, but shouldn't "materia snapping to a Planck length grid in space" be experimentally falsifiable? And could this imply there is no grid or that space is truly continuous?
It's less a lack of critical thinking and more an overabundance of cautious wording to avoid unnecessary offense.

I'm suggesting that this father may have engaged in nepotism once before, which makes me question his integrity. Not every father does that, so it's more relevant than just "of course, it's the dad".

I phrased it cautiously because I don't know the full story, but the pieces are there and I think it's worth pointing them out.

Yes indeed - it can be optimized further, but it will also loose some perf. when things such as sourcemaps or tree shaking are introduced. Right now I am positive that in total it should be around the same as of now due to the potential optimizations (e.g., streaming in the JS AST generation).

Carbohydrates have been a big part of what I’ve needed to figure out in order to reach sleep again after an unusually
tough period.

Carbohydrate metabolism has histamine intimately involved in it; Histamine – as per its inflammatory role – is basically used by the
body to open tissue to receive blood glucose.

As it happens, histamine is also a neurotransmitter! An excitatory alertness neurotransmitter!

Both these aspects have been extant as scientific knowledge on record for some significant time, but are only really becoming known-known as of recent.

I have ADHD. I take lisdexamfetamine. Upon starting medication at 39.5 years of age, I quickly noticed that I had to be really careful with coffee, and especially to not at all touch any sweet foods or desserts around evening or so. Or I would wake up at 5:30 AM. (Exactly and precisely 5:30. Reliably. It’s sort of fascinating.)

As it turns out, amphetamine releases histamine! And! Caffeine inhibits the enzymatic breakdown of histamine! And sugar causes histamine to be released.
Yes but juices are not something you use as a milk alternative.

The researches were specifically talking about "plant-based milk alternatives", as in "alternatives to milk". Hot chocolate may be a plant-based drink, but it is not a milk alternative. "plant-based milk alternatives" is a very clear label that avoids the debate around calling them milks.

My own opinion is that cow's milk shouldn't be labeled a human food, so I'm fine with "plant milks" and personally just refer to them "milk" in some contexts, but for the sake of packaging and writing for the general public, I think clarity is important, and "oat milk" or "oat-based milk alternative" are both much clearer than "oat juice", especially since commercial products are rarely just one ingredient + water.

For example, you have "soy kefir", "soy yoghurt", and "soymilk", all different things and I don't see a case for "soy juice" being more accurate for soymilk than the other two.

Also you have "coconut water" and "coconut milk" and if we're going to call one of those a juice I certainly wouldn't go with coconut milk.

Designating it as a "milk" or at least a "milk alternative" is useful in indicating what role it might play in cuisine, and calling it a "drink" does not communicate the same thing.

Also, referring to plant milks with the word for "milk" (or local language variant) appears to be a tradition dating back at least 700 years in English (and longer for other languages): https://theliterarycucina.wordpress.com/2018/03/27/medieval_...

I made a game of life in pdf using this technique, but pdf.js is less open to chromium to respect the standard on letting the pdf designer defining the ON and OFF state.

One other way would be to use normal text fields and leveraging custom fonts. I think there are an enormous potential with fonts in the realm of pdf hacking. I think there is also a story of past vuln on pdf.js because fonts were evaluated outside the sandbox.

Serious question: where else, currently?
>provided you take the proper care and control both the UI and the tests.

And no one ever does. There is zero incentive to spend days wrangling with a flakey UI test throwing a false positive for your new feature, and so the test gets skipped and everyone moves on and forgets about it. I have literally never seen a project where UI tests were continually added to and maintained after the initial build out, simply because it is an immense time sink with no visible or perceived value to product, business, or users, and requires tons of manual maintenance to keep in sync with the application.
I cannot find the source, but I saved this quote by Douglas Hofstadter about the process of writing, rewriting, and revising:

"It is the intensity of this process of global tightening and smoothing of a huge structure that was once implicit in one's mind but is now external and has its own unanticipated shape, life, and momentum, it is the power of this process of converting a set of once-intangible intuitions into a very tangible network of interconnected crystals, that I had forgotten."
Sorry if I'm unclear on what 2018 is supposed to mean (understand it's an approximation). But internet service is much older than that. According to Wikipedia,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_the_United_Kingdom

Pipex was established in 1990 and began providing dial-up Internet access in March 1992, the UK's first commercial Internet service provider (ISP).

That's about the same time it became available in the U.S. I got home internet service (dial-up) in the mid-1990's.
If you mean ring type I don't remember which one worked best, sorry.

As for my favorite EM field there is a nearby street with buried powers lines and transformer boxes at ground level. As you walk the street to the main street each box has a bigger EM sphere and I like to let my hand coast over each sphere. It isn't a sphere per say, but only in the sense that at at certain depth in the field the density (for lack of a better term) becomes high enough that I can feel it and it is like a boundary line
No engineering interview would have you do anything like leetcode problems. No one is going to ask you to solve equations in front of them[0]. They will not give you take home tests or any of that. Doesn't matter if you're at a small startup or a big player like Boeing or Lockheed Martin.

The stereotypical software engineering interview is heavily leetcode dependent. It's why leetcode exists and they can charget $150/yr for people to just study it (time that could be spent on learning other things). I mean somewhere like Google you can have 3-6 rounds in the interviewing process.

[0] Maybe you'll use a board or paper to draw illustrations and help in your explanations, but you're not going to work out problems. No one is going to give you a physics textbook problem and say "Go".

Well, the "engine" is pretty much from scratch but the project no longer believes in "being responsible for everything ourselves".

The goal with Ladybird is to be "independent" in the sense that nobody influences their decisions. However, they have no desire to be independent from a technology stand-point (other than being Open Source). In fact, they are talking about moving to Swift as their core language.
I did a similar experiment for 14 days when I was 13-14ish, it balanced out to 20-30 minutes wake and a 5 to 10 min nap.

It was pretty wild. I coded (machine code) in bed until my head got heavy then I would nap and wake up shortly after with the task noticably organized in my head. It felt perfectly natural to sleep on it as well as to wake up when the data was parsed. I kinda lived in the twilight zone.

Fun details: the room was perfectly dark. The tv was set to be so dark that I had to wait for my eyes to adjust to see the code. Nothing else was visible. The bed was tilted about a foot. The computer had no mouse pointer.

Both art and article are good. I can definitely relate. I feel like most of my writing actually happens well before I sit down to write anything. It’s thoughts and notes, then something comes out. The weirdly frustrating thing is when it doesn’t align with my notes at all, but somehow it’s better. Or at least I think it’s better. Then it’s a matter of not editing too much. Or at all sometimes. I’ve definitely written and posted things that when from brain to web.

Pretty much everything has an official docker image and included docker-compose file at this point, so installation is pretty standard and can be done in a couple of minutes for just about any of them.

36GW hours of water storage is pretty amazing. Looking at how much Solar/Wind over capacity you would need to take advantage of that is an interesting exercise in itself.

If denials tripled under his watch, as CEO you don't think he necessarily was involved in that? He clearly approved of profiting off of literal unnecessary deaths.

You have yet to show that tripling denials of a particular category of claims is even wrong in the first place. Let me repeat: any system will deny some claims, so denied claims are not prima facie evidence of anything wrong.

Decision was made to actively increase unnecessary deaths for monetary gain

Nobody had shown any evidence whatsoever that anything like that happened. Not only are denied claims not automatically wrong, but also changes in denial rate do not even need to correspond to any decision or change in policy, but may instead result from changes of external factors.

He ultimately approved of that decision

What decision? You just assume that there had been some decision, that Bryan Thompson approved, and that it was nefarious. There is as of now zero evidence for this, this is just your speculation. Murdering people based on speculations like that is profoundly evil, and so is excusing it.
