Where is this imaginary line between “ok to be offended” and “not ok to be offended”? Who decides where that line is?

If you can trivially avoid even the risk of offending someone — especially in a professional context — then why wouldn’t you?

There is an online-only supermarket called Ocado here in the UK. They do pretty much what you describe.

In GCSE Chemistry (taught to 15-16ish year olds), we were taught that the first shell contained two electrons, and subsequent shells contained 8 (up to the final, which may contain fewer).

Then, after GCSEs, during A-levels, we were told (by the same teachers, in the same classrooms) to forget this model, and that the situation was actually more complicated, with s, p, d, f orbitals etc.

I realise that this is was a simplification and not necessarily an outright lie, and can understand why they did it this way. But it was the first time I realised I’d been deliberately taught something that was incomplete or inaccurate.

I never got over being lied to about electron shells and the 2-8-8 "rule".

Still sounds pretty mysterious to me. This kind of event is rare, and the source of the interference is (currently) a mystery. I’d love to pop by with a HackRF and directional antenna if I lived anywhere near-by!

I don’t think it’s unfair to call it a drop in replacement, though the current limitations should perhaps be caveated a little more clearly.

I think calling it a drop in replacement highlights that the aim of Zluda is to not require recompilation of the software being run. Maybe “Proof of concept drop in replacement” would be a better description?

I'm 99.9% sure OP the author didn't mean that people should be fired for being old. I agree that the phrasing is open to misinterpretation, but I read it as "plain-old not doing a great job"

The way the the images move during evolulution kinda reminds me of worms or maggots wriggling around in soil.

"Boston Dynamics' Spot Robot Now has an Arm" may be a better title? My initial thought was that they'd strapped an assault rifle to him.`

Woah. I’ve used pandas a fair amount and had no idea about this. Thank you!

EXIF data says that images was generated using Photoshop CS3, which was released in 2007.

Good spot! AFAIK Ubuntu under WSL(2) uses the same update repository as a non-WSL variants, so you shouldn't get different results.

I think this was just an example, really, but I know some projects have an external bug tracking tool to document customer-reported issues, and closed, employee only ones to discuss the issue internally.

Mostly sobbing into my hands and wondering how over half the voting population managed to get hoodwinked into thinking that any of this might be a good idea, with a good outcome.

The Ad Blocker situation on Safari is pretty poor. I've ended up with Ghostery, but really miss uBlock Origin.

I recently got the rOtring 600 Ballpoint, and have enjoyed it for similar reasons.

I agree with that. But given the context -- an experimental build targetting a new SoC, I wouldn't personally dispute the claim that it's running on an M1 machine.

If the tweet was claiming that it was ready to go for general use and that everyone should install it and use it as their daily driver, then I could see that the external boot disk caveat would be more significant... but it seems kind of irrelevant in the context of what they've achieved so far.

Why's that? If I netboot Linux on my desktop PC, is it not running "on" my desktop PC?

Is the CPU/SoC not the thing on which then operating system is running?

This might be a dumb question, but is there any information out there about how much official monitoring goes on for amateur bands (and other bands, for that matter)? Are there strategically placed logging stations that allow triangulation of signal origin based on RSSI etc? I guess this stuff is super commonplace in SIGINT, I just don't know much about it.

I'm a big fan of Signal and have been encouraging friends and family to use it.

That said, I (like others) am a bit concerned about the lack of updates to Signal-Server (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/commits/master). Commits seemed to suddenly stop April last year, and I'd be very surprised if the actual Signal Server that's running in production hasn't been updated over such a long period. Would be very happy to be proven wrong here, or to be pointed in the direction of anything that might explain the lack of activity.

About 28ms here (UK).

I'd imagine that Signal's increase in popularity is overwhelmingly due to WhatsApp's recent changes to their privacy policy rather than Parler's shutdown. More of my contacts have joined Signal in the last week than they had in the last year. I'd be surprised if any of them were ex-Parler users.

Parler was pretty much the antithesis of end to end encrypted and secure, and Signal serves a very different purpose to Parler. From what I've seen on Parler, their average user would dismiss Signal as being produced by commies and therefore evil, due to its Open Source license.

This has been around for quite a while. I've found that it works as described!

Yes, messages are failing to send.

"Everyday" users shouldn't have to edit the registry in order to install an app, either. Being no worse than Windows doesn't make it good.

Sometimes, rather than giving me a "friendly" warning that the app is unsigned, I get and exception with a stack trace, with:

    Termination Reason:    Namespace CODESIGNING, Code 0x1

I can (re)sign the application with:

    codesign --force --deep --sign - /path/to/The.app

which often resolves the issue.

but what's the difference between the error that causes the friendly warning, and the error that cases the stack trace/exception? Is this the difference between a lack of code signature and a failed check?

I guess it's quite a difficult thing to communicate without encouraging users to click on ads, which presumably would get them in hot water with the ad networks.

As a counter-argument, is it not a little obnoxious to use Ecosia with your ad-blocker turned on?

What's the point of using Ecosia if not to help them fund-raise for their environmental projects? Why not use Google or Bing directly (with an ad-blocker) and save the Ecosia the bandwidth costs?

Which is totally irrelevant in the context of this discussion (which is on default passwords).

I was able to read it once, but subsequent re-visits try and force me to log in (I don't have an account).
