Sometimes my keyboards get dropped and lose a keycap or two, but never anything serious. If this is dropped on the floor, my trusty keyboard will turn into a bag of puzzle bits, right in the middle of heated gameplay or a meeting...

Use fixed price hosting resources, those cannot bite you and if they're too small you can always expand by buying more virtual hosts, or even program your own simple scaler (which i am 99.9% sure you will not need this or next year after starting a project). AI is capable of setting up local database, and everything you need without paying 10x to a cloud provider.

The instant cascading worldwide deletion upon closing or deleting a subscription sounds like a recipe for disaster. Why not mark it for deletion and delete say... a day or a week later?

Treat this as person's own contribution. If the quality is bad, means the person has allowed it, or the person's quality of work is bad, and it doesn't matter whether they produced it or AI did. So in both cases they'd deserve a rejection of their PR. The only downside is that it takes away precious reviewer energy and time.

Since Doom renders the image with vertical columns of pixels (floor, lower wall, portal if exists continues rendering the other sector, then upper wall then ceiling) and since browsers are very good at drawing the sprites out of larger textures... You could send vertical divs shaded with the sector light level and picking the correct textures. Instead of hundreds per column you will have like 5 divs on average per column and they will be textured shaded and scaled by the browser?

This should have been in the title :)

I don't get it, do we keep the pitchforks out, or do we stash the pitchforks?

Just checked my Windows (i have latest).

It has Settings -> AI components tab. It has "There are no AI components currently installed".

I will let it stay this way till i need it.

I like AI, but only when i control what it does.

Amazontalk: We will save you costs Human language: We will make profit while you think you're saving the costs

Amazontalk: You can build on <product name> to analyze complex documents... Human language: There is no product, just some DIY tools.

Amazontalk: Provides the intelligence and flexibility Human language: We will charge your credit card in multiple obscure ways, and we'll be smart about it

There is a bill, it is paid, too. Russians leave a LOT of papertrail on all their operations, including military and secret service, you just can't always see (aren't allowed to see) the papers.

The Russian wikipedia article sheds a lot light on why this exists. With it operated and maintained by the army, and the majority of messages transmitted in the working hours, this is to verify through the logs of receiving radio operators, that the random message been correctly heard, received and logged. Which means the operator was ready at any given time and fully awake/operational, to hear other real important transmissions.

This is something i'd prefer to save forever. Who knows if i need it in 5-25 years and the website is not there anymore.

You get what you're paying for. Choosing hosting providers mainly by their price, will get you to the cheapest one. Guess how they make it cheap? By cutting on staff (also by moving the data center to a country with lower wages) and hardware and internet and backup power etc.

As you click the date picker, it updates entire page for that incomplete date, and it QUEUES dates for more update, even if you manage to click the correct year, it continues slowly through every year you touched/scrolled before that.

Cost of the traffic is: hardware (staggered cost covered over many months), and running costs (subscription to higher tier internet carriers, electricity, rent of the premises, salaries etc). Most of this is covered by the monthly fees, to have a profitable business one must have those costs covered as a minimum. None of the above affects how much internet data goes through, zero or maxed out capacity, cost is the same.

Businesses may be not constrained with the link times, but they for sure are worried with growing executable sizes. And large dev teams rarely reduce the code size, they just keep adding layers and layers of code as the time goes, eventually running beyond the permissible app size on the appstore. Can it solve such growth problem? Many large companies will be "sold" on this idea instantly https://twitter.com/stantwinb/status/1336890442768547845

The statement about battery not being replaceable is false. They are replaceable. But the phone body is sealed to deliver the water and dust resistance rating from its technical specs, so opening it is an entire new adventure in itself.

The used font is great for text but atrocious for programming uses: 0 looks same as O, and the article is full of hexadecimal codes.

This is about locus of control: if twitter wants to do something about users hopping to and using a competitive platform, can they change some settings in twitter? Yes they can. Can they stop users activity on Mastodon or force them back? No, they can not. So they're doing what they can, rather than passively allowing it to continue.

Believing that they are uncorrupt by the government secret services is naive. Everything in Russia of any value has eyes of secret govt service on it. If the state men ask you for cooperation, you cannot say no, or your life as a person will be destroyed, and you (as an owner) lose the business too (multiple examples in all areas of technology, science and industry).

Kaspersky labs have this curse of trying to be good guys, while operating from a dictatorship state with all state security services having hands up theirs, firmly holding them and operating them like puppets. It is impossible to be a good neutral guy in a dictatorship.

Hair trimmer set to shortest length will make your face like shaven 2 days ago. Costs nothing. Needs no foam, no aftershave gel, creates no irritation or red skin, just splash of water and optional facial creme. My condolences to those who must have a clean shave every day of their life.

Looks like clickbait. Rust and Python are FINE.

Consumers tolerating this and just trying to block the ads locally in their house — this is like ignoring the fact that the manufacturer has stuck a huge sex toy in the center of your TV, and wrapping it with a napkin to continue watching.

Virtual machines use pointer tagging in least significant bits, as most of the data is 4x or 8x byte aligned, and you can assume that zeroing those bits will always give you a safe correct pointer value. And the tag bits can instruct the code that the value is not a pointer but contains more data in other bits, or that the value is a structure on heap with special treatment.

Google Maps, click business name, see opening hours. Only businesses that matter. Online-only businesses should have hours published on their web page.

Such a fancy way to ruin reputation outside China and lose market share.

The probably he has connections with the corrupt police or criminals. A nobody can't really drive a custom lambo and not get noticed.

What i learned from this: if you piss off the USA, you can't travel freely and brave your invulnerability. You should be sitting quiet in Russia, which won't extradite you, and not flash your stolen money. Because if you do, your local bandits will find you, and if you don't, the USA will find you.

It is not worth $5.7B, don't multiply huge amounts of shares, stocks, or coins by their market value, as it is impossible to cash out at that price. If he tries to do large sell orders it will sink to 1-10% of its current price.
