I think some people don't realize the unreasonable amount of effort they are creating for their colleagues when they submit slop as work. I see this more with documentation than code.

What is GHCP in this context? Glasgow Haskell Compiler Platform? Google Hostage Computer Program?

Is that because they are much more likely to pay the ultimate price at the hands of the OOM killer?
Comparing the choices of individuals with foreign diplomacy is specious. It is much harder for countries to have principles than individuals.

Chief executives are so often transients.
This looks like it might be good for people who post a lot on social media, to organise or recycle their content.
Re:Order and orient the keys on your keychain on Sunday October 27, 2024 @06:17AM (#41961321)
The article says "That's why I've spent way too long thinking about the optimal arrangement of keys on a keychain, to reduce egress time to a minimum.

If you need to find your keys to get out of your house, that's not ideal in an emergency. I think the author is talking about ingress, getting into one's home.

No. For me, since 2010 at least, it's been a negotiation in practice, if not in the written contract terms.
It can't reliably cite its source for an answer.

But who would substitute a no risk asset for a high risk one? This is a specious comparison.

I thought virt manager was ok but honestly your complaints about it are specific and fair.

It's not he's still bullshitting that's remarkable, it's that people are still listening.

Sisyphus only has one rock to worry about.
A little bit of advice like that is a tremendous blessing to those of us who just need to touch C occasionally.

Interesting claim about the vitamin D. Are you saying it's a placebo for diabetics?

I've got some home brand "100% wholegrain" oats here that say they contain 1g Sugars per 100g, less than half 1g per 40g shown in your table.

And even 1g per 40g is double 2g per 40g, not 'nutritionally identical'.

Re:Global Google Kubernetes Engine Outage on Friday September 15, 2023 @05:47AM (#37520611)
Agree. The word outage isn't used in the notice. They say 'incident' which is more accurate. The title should be changed.

Models have been trained on something though. They are not analogous to pencils or brushes.

How can I self publish? With OIDC? I own my own domain, how do I get PyPI to trust it?

It runs as a user without the necessary permissions to access those devices?
Is it really an inconvenience at all? Learn some patience.

There is plenty of diabetes and obesity in Australia and we don't use fructose as a sweetener. I'm not sure fructose is necessary.

If there is continuing value to a community, that community will likely continue to fund it. That seems more future proof than venture capital or corporate largesse.

>Finally, there’s the whole business of resource isolation. While cgroups are pretty neat as an isolation mechanism, they’re not hardware-level guarantees against noisy neighbors. Because cgroups were a later addition to the kernel, it’s not always possible to ensure they’re taken into account when making system-wide resource management decisions.

I don't think virtualization really offers hardware-level guarantees against noisy neighbours either.
