Funny, a modern version of WWII era technology

What is the use-case for such a function?

Perhaps because the same part of the moon always faces the earth which 'shields' the moon somewhat?

Just a guess

When I ask people to code FizzBuzz I:

  - give them ~30 minutes on their own machine
  - they get to pick the language they code in
  - I leave the room for large parts of it
  - I bring them a drink
  - I tell them I want to see what they can do and that I don't care if they complete it
  - permit them to search on the internet (as long as they don't copy/paste a solution)

I see this usually:

  - they finish in a few minutes
  - they just can't do it, even with hints

No but I permit internet access as long as they don't search for the solution (I trust them not to do that, and don't monitor what they do)

I've also used FizzBuzz at several companies, and the insane amount of people it filters out continues to boggle my mind.

Just upgraded my small homeserver

   sysupgrade; sysmerge; pkg_add -u;

Done! What a delight!

Key bit from the article translated:

There is no connection to recent problem with the 737 MAX 9 where a door plug was not installed correctly. Instead, this occurred on an older (previous generation) 737 airplane. The cause of this incident is that the door had not been closed properly prior to take-off.

(original Dutch: "Er is geen enkel verband met de deurplugproblematiek van de 737 MAX 9: het gaat in dit geval om een 737 van de vorige generatie, waarbij de deur voor vertrek niet goed luchtdicht was afgesloten.")

To answer my question for The Netherlands, it is my impression that cops are held to a higher standard and are punished equally—if not more harshly—than normal citizens when caught.

This sounds super insane, I thought stuff like this only happened in 3rd world countries.

Is this applicable elsewhere in “developed” countries as far as anyone else knows?

They mention this: “Access to blockchain based secure storage”

What does that even mean? And do they completely destroy the sampled data from all their systems incl. backups? Can’t find that anywhere.

If not: is it really anonymous?

What browser do you use? Afaik there is no good suckless browser

Amazing

You've already lost, best recourse in this case is to `rm -rf ~/repositories/`. Then make yourself a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and start over.

If you want one there are MANY second hand (cheap!) ones for sale on marktplaats.nl as we speak -- for reasons that don't need explaining :)

"We are going down"

Really? That's no way to live man, cheer up. No one can predict the future, and doomsayers have always been around and will always be around. Sure: things might get hairy, but even then we will manage (or perhaps some of us will).

And if not: then not. Enjoy yourself in the meantime while doing the best you can in terms of being environmentally conscious

Thank you, this is helpful!

I've become comfortable with using vim /within a file/, what I'm having trouble with is using vim while having multiple files open (keeping track of which ones I've saved, switching between them, etc.)

My current workflow is to have multiple files open each in a separate terminal tab, but navigating between them Cmd+Shift+[ and ] feels suboptimal.

Does anyone have any great tips? I work on Java and Ruby (rails) projects most of the time.

Most of Western Europe is unwilling to fight for their country

I can achieve independence from food.

Question is: at what cost?

Our Constitution is neither a self-actuating nor a self-correcting document. It requires the constant attention and devotion of all citizens. There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: "A republic, if you can keep it."

Parrhesia

Parrhesia means literally "to speak everything" and by extension "to speak freely", "to speak boldly". It implies not only freedom of speech, but the obligation to speak the truth for the common good, even at personal risk.

“Owing to the significant amounts of electronic waste caused by unused chargers …”

Really?

It will probably run for many more years to come :)

Don't be; look up some of the founders[1] of OpenAI:

  Ilya Sutskever - born in Russia
  Wojciech Zaremba - born in Poland
  Andrej Karpathy - born in Slovakia

What happens to us when AI becomes better than us at every mental task?

Ignoring the economic factors, what does that mean for our self worth? If we know it’s easier to ask a machine to do it, will we stop doing everything?

Can we reframe our purpose and just be content living?

Try this:

main { filter: saturate(7) grayscale(10) contrast(3); }

It can also be fun :)
