I'm talking about, if they had actual encryption, how would it have supposed to even work?

Every furniture chain I’ve been in contact with have had furniture names like “Boston” and “acorn” and is “golden retriever” really that far off from Apple old OS naming scheme with snow leopards, lions and cougars?

How would the challenge/serial have worked if implemented correctly?

Since the challenge rotate every 5 minutes, there must be some way for a user to enter against an old challenge, right? Else they call, get a code and nothing.

But even with that out of the way, the decryption key must be the same across all discs, since there is only 1 master disc.

So the challenge/serial must combine to create a decryption key, which can be shared across users.

Last night I was looking into what to read after or along with 3Blue1Brown's series of Linear algebra videos [1]

The contenders seems to be:

- Linear Algebra Done Right - Sheldon Axler

- Liner Algebra Done Wrong - Sergei Treil

- Introduction to Linea Algebra - Gilbert Strang

- Introduction to Applied Linear Algebra: Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares by Stephen Boyd and Lieven Vandenberghe

Some sellers sell the token twice. Once to the buyer and once more as training data to labs building models.

Wait, it can be used system wide? I copy paste link into Firefox Focus when ads makes a page too unreadable.

I haven’t been deep into Unicode for a long time, so I can’t remember all the intricacies of the word “glyph”.

So I’m not sure if there are glyphs with multiple characters but there _are_ code points with multiple characters. E.g, you can enter the correct code point and still misspell a Chinese or Japanese word. This is because for Chinese Korean and Japanese characters in Unicode it is not enough to choose the correct code point but also markup the code point with the correct language.

Same thing, different code points is the opposite of han unification. Han unification is same code point, different thing.

Han-unification was the result of Asian scholars, in particular the Ideaographic Research Group [1]

I have no idea what "Aristotelian essentialism" is supposed to mean, or if you are saying that the unification was that.

> And apparently the Japanese complained bitterly over the ones that were merged.

and

> but I was told that the Unified CJK thing adopted a different "philosophy" from the rest of Unicode [...] mostly due to vocal objections from the Japanese.

Seems to contradict each other.

It’s really expensive to automate.

Talked with a guy who wanted to built automation in food industry and it turned out it was cheaper to hire a guy to push the food item into a correct position on the conveyer belt than to set up a machine to do.

I imagine Temu changes things so often they’ll never get to numbers where full automation makes sense.

Something something, why buy a robot when you can hire a guy for $10/hr

The interesting question is not how Farage could win. He chose that town for his high rate of supporters.

The interesting question is: would a “real” candidate have beaten him?

I don’t understand how asking another AI to paraphrase causes both watermarks to remain

What does `?sk=h_chr` in the URL mean?

Went to the website and I still don't really understand what it is, other than "learn to play the guitar/bass/keyboard for free", which can be a million things.

I assume you use a real instrument to play the game, but how? Do I connect my guitar to my PC? How? If not, how can it give me feedback? If I don't use a real instrument, then what?

I can't find a single pub using this page, let alone the nearest to me.

Sounds like his prediction in 2024 was spot on.

I don't understand the argument that COUNT(DISTINCT ...) cannot be parallelized, but you can count distinct values in parallel using COUNT(*) GROUP BY ...

But then again the article is being accused of heavy LLM. If you notice that COUNT(DISTINCT ...) doesn't parallelize and you ask an LLM to argue why, you get easily get an article without a good thread.

I think there is a ton of value of being able to rewind in between commits. I always felt that asking for a description of a commit is way too much.

I can write a bunch of checkpoint commits and then squash them, I suppose, but the interface for doing it isn't super inviting and there are a lot of things I need to consider in terms of tracked and untracked files.

If I understand this correctly, I can deltaDB all my untracked and ignored files and git push my thought-out commits, fully respecting things ignored. And If I realise that I should have git-commited 10 minutes ago, I can rewind, commit, fast forward and continue.

There was a time when everyone was like “you can’t parse html with regex, use beautiful soup!” And beautiful soup defaulted to a regex parser

I have never worked at a place where they gave us corporate Apple accounts.

We’ve always been asked to use our personal Apple account to install apps used for work.

> There's nothing to stop you contradicting yourself by indicating a different direction of travel. Which makes you wonder why you had to indicate the direction in the first place.

Elevators in the last few countries I’ve visited had generally refused floor selection that didn’t agree with the call direction.

If no selection in the direction of call is made then they would open again and reset their direction after which you can go in the “wrong direction”, so to speak.

I think the suggested fix by the author is quite poor. If you really want to optimize, have floor selection done outside the elevator. People have to learn to remember which elevator is “theirs”, though.

However switching between those two types does tend to make you forget to make selections.

Didn’t they just add “query”?

Reading the Wikipedia article it sounds like Miyazaki left due to disagreement on animation style and how female protagonists should be presented. Disagreement was with Isao Takahata, who would go on to found Ghibli and Miyazaki has been quoted as saying is the only director Miyazaki respects.

So the next edition of clean code will be called “clean test code”?

And to those people, clean panels devalue the property more than dirty?

> why would you clean them when you're about to sell the house?

So they look good and the potential buyer sees something that looks to be in good condition and working well.

Recently booked a hotel on agoda. Price increased after I logged in as part of the booking process.

Opened cognito and bought at the lower price with a guest account.

Felt both smug and piss off at the 5 bucks I saved

I find Python a terrible bash replacement.

Calling all the command line tools is cumbersome, the Python cloud APIs are verbose compared to the cli tools and often have very different concepts for how they interact with services.

But I agree that there is a need for a better bash and zsh is nice but not the upgrade that is needed

It’s because you forgot a comma after the last item. If you had kept that the items wouldn’t have been compacted (at least in black, I’ve stopped linking my code because it breaks intends of formatting more often than it helps)

So when I long click on new tab and choose a work tab, it’s … just the same with a different color?
