Rather than criminalizing more substances we should legalize more to apply a uniform standard.

A dedicated group of people with some engineering knowledge and an achievable amount of money could easily launch a missile into space. Getting to space is easy, staying in space is what's hard. You don't even need a warhead, as long as the missile intersects the data center's orbit, just hitting it at speed will have the same effect as a bomb.

The point is moot though, as data centers in space is a complete fantasy that will never happen.

BASED. I'm going to feel a lot better about getting software from Flathub from now on.

An AI generated poster signals low effort. If you're too lazy or too cheap to make a real poster it makes me wonder what other corners have been cut.

Wow Maps is cool, I had no idea this was on my computer.

Games, especially multiplayer games, should start using CSPRNGs and hash functions for random events. This has in particular been a problem for Minecraft where people can reverse-engineer coordinates from screenshots of natural terrain. Most games don't need so much randomness that performance is an issue.

If you were living in 1992 and already had a good TV you probably would turn down something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpBMLFLjNx8

How many flights are you people taking that it's cutting into your work time? When I fly I just read a book.

The seal between the piston and the cylinder isn't perfect, so when the engine runs combustion products will mix with the oil, making the oil eventually unusable. That's why ICE engines meed oil changes so often.

The benefit is that you don't have to solve one of the hard problems in computer science (naming things).

This seems like the LLM is vastly overcomplicating things. My entire Neovim config is a single 500 line init.lua and this is enough for LSP to work.

It does (to the search engine you use) unless you turn off "Show search suggestions in address bar results".

The protests and killings were extremely widely reported at the time.

You should run away from React Native Desktop screaming. It's built on top of WinUI 3, and inherits all it's problems, while also being dramatically slower. Almost all functionality requires writing C++ code, and communicating between C++ and JS is a huge pain in the ass. Use QT instead.

And if you think using it will let you port your app to other platforms, think again. There's no drop-in compatible equivalent of RNW for Linux, and the version for Mac is even worse than the Windows version.

I hope this is successful. Fake books are flooding online stores and if this was widely adopted I would certainly refuse to buy anything without it.

But unfortunately I think that's unlikely. Most authors will likely never hear about this. I assume there will be some kind of fee to participate, but this will discourage people from using it. And even if it takes off, the fake book authors will just slap it on anyway as I'm not sure what enforcement mechanism would be effective.

No AI period. As soon as you feed your writing into the slop machine it starts telling you how to make it more like slop (I know someone who's cowriting a book with ChatGPT - this is exactly the result.)

I'd rather read things with typos and bad grammar than read something copyedited by AI.

You can fix this by dubbing the vinyl onto a CD-R. It'll sound identical and you won't need to mess with the turntable more than once.

I thought the government was shut down? Why is this funded but not SNAP?

They should go back to the Windows 2000 theme, that was the best one.

It's more complex than that: The card actually has some nonvolatile storage with your current balance, which gets decremented each time you use it.

Couldn't find Waldo, but this reminds me of the skill check CAPTCHA I encountered on Sega of Japan's website:

Please no. I hate when the editor adds random shit I didn't type to the file.

You can use KeePassXC for passkeys. It will generate completely unidentifiable public keys, and save the the private keys to a portable KDBX file.

It's unfortunate that passkeys have been such a disaster. Attestation should never have been part of the spec, it should never have been presented as a replacement for hardware U2F keys, and a private key file format should have been defined on day 1. But there is useful functionality buried under all the noise and confusion.

Why do we need to transport our military overseas, anyway? We should close all our overseas bases and save the money.

The Gaza Pier failed because it was a PR stunt and not a serious attempt to get aid into Gaza.

The ideal answer is the UN sends in peacekeeping forces to kick out the IDF.

That won't happen due to the USA. So in practice the answer to "How will the Gazans eat?" is "They won't."

High PPI screens have been around for 10 years or so, and they still cost about twice as much as a standard PPI screen the same size.

Put yourself in the shoes of the average computer purchaser: Would you rather buy a high PPI monitor, or two standard PPI monitors? To me this is a no-brainer.

Much evidence contradicts your theory.

I flipped them all, enjoy:
