How does it help?

You either keep in mind all the horrifying little possibilities the future could hold for us and try to prepare, accept and cope, or you push it out of your mind using whatever techniques available to you to not drive yourself into nervous spirals.

Ultimately it comes down to what your brain chemistry allows in combination with ways you practiced dealing with stress, existential dread, cognitive dissonance, etc.

I guess submission to a higher power is one way to deal with it? That way it's no longer your problem (alone).

At that point you lose too much convenience. Maybe if someone built a mini UPS with at least 10000Ah capacity, USB-C 4 pass-through and the right form factor to permanently attach it on top of the mini.

I doubt you can force them to provide the service with the original terms, but you might be able to ask for a (partial) refund. If not today, after a week of verbal abuse they will receive for this online.

As I understand it this bypasses a "please do not read" level of protection on cheap microcontrollers, not an actual secure element, so only those secrets are impacted that were not properly protected to begin with.
Re:A case study in PDF forensics: The Epstein PDFs on Thursday February 05, 2026 @07:22AM (#46898860)
A simpler explanation could be wanting to skip the print->sign->scan ceremony required by some institutions.
I'm sorry, but that's silly. The argument is the other way around: would you like to be stalked by an airtag?

Firefox on Fedora 43 here, no joy, and indeed, randomly broken on Linux (too).

[edit] Okey, so installing the complete Google Noto Fonts family resolved this issue. But I still don't know if relying on a script with almost no font support is any better than what the OP did.

The next gen is semantic and sentiment filters, the age of wordlists is over.
Re:Node.js adds experimental support for TypeScript on Thursday July 25, 2024 @03:05AM (#41065590)
What they probably meant was writing 'import "file.ts"' and have tsc emit 'import "file.js"'. https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/49083

Re:Show HN: An SQS Alternative on Postgres on Friday May 10, 2024 @02:09AM (#40315875)
Timestamp with time zone is the type for an "absolute timestamp".

Timestamp without time zone is for local time, and sometimes abused as "time in utc without being explicit about it".

The naming describes the expected input, not what is stored. The time zone name or offset is not stored with timestamptz.

Always use timestamptz, unless you have a specific use case for local time.

You could allow to pair the part to some central control unit, when the car is unlocked. I don't speak car or cryptographer so so I have no idea about how to go about it, but this seems like a workable solution.
Discord is one of the last widely used, user-friendly messaging platform, that doesn't require phone number verification at sign-up.
Re:PostgreSQL Logical Replication Explained on Friday March 17, 2023 @09:07PM (#35204977)
PostgreSQL logical replication only cares about the data. It doesn't require that you have the same database schema - or even a database - on the receiving end. It doesn't know about stored procedures.

You would typically use it for situations where you don't want to replicate your whole database.

You can subscribe to a narrow/specific set of changes (for example if you only care about inserts to a specific table, no other changes).

It has some significant limitations that means, it can't really be used as "Kafka Streams lite":

You can't have different permissions for different publications. If a subscriber can read one, it can read them all.

There is no separate storage for the publications or the subscribers: if any subscriber is slow/stuck/offline, it will hold back all your WAL for the entire database cluster.

--

If you want an exact replica of your database, you have to use the "physical replication". This still doesn't specifically care about stored procedures, but it replicates data and schema change exactly.

The original story was about injections not food, and was most likely false. Unless you are referring to a different story?

There ought to be some consequences for knowingly putting and leaving people in a place where they are likely to be raped and murdered. Contracting adequate (local or foreign) private security is not the only way to resolve a situation like this. You could also remove the people.
From TFA:

"Unfortunately, of course, the current rules would prevent Hey from advertising or even mentioning any upgraded service and that would have to be marketed through off-app channels."

I'm not sure, if it's explicitly forbidden to imply that there might be other payment methods.

A possible explanation for what you've experienced can be found in the just-world hypothesis [0], or in the belief that we live in a meritocracy. It is simply a foundational part of many people's worldview and nothing sort of experiencing similar traumas will make them reconsider.

Re:Why use GraphQL, good and bad reasons on Friday August 24, 2018 @04:25PM (#17837652)
Edit: I don't believe GraphQL can provide any help with this.

In cases like this you can always fall back to the naive solution: syncing the relevant data between microservices.

Unless there is something like PostgreSQL's foreign data wrappers available.

Re:Why use GraphQL, good and bad reasons on Friday August 24, 2018 @04:10PM (#17837548)
We are using it heavily, and with a few extensions (like a batch modification endpoint) it scales pretty well. I'm not sure what measure of size are you referring to.
