I was doing full stack dev for 20 years until very recently. Never needed anything beyond basic algebra EXCEPT for while I was getting my CS degree…had 2 classes, i think, where we were doing matrix math/Fourier transforms, but iirc they were electives…one was writing a very basic 3d graphics driver and the other was working with very simple computer vision…things like recognizing handwritten letters.

Which is ironic…any company that would brag about employees working at their own wedding screams “burnt out employees and insider threats” to me.

Hey, look, I found the thing the US is still number 1 at!

I find it helpful sometimes to write down the negative shit then wad it up and throw it away or burn the paper.

I imagine the implementation would cost them more than the fine…

It does sound ludicrous…might be better off making a concave mirror so it reflects and intensifies the light…like a giant magnifying glass over an ant hill. Yeah…that’s how they should do it. Nothing gonna wrong with that.

That means someone at meta thinks the evidence that will come in trial will cost them more than $1.4b

“sudo is not recognized an an internal or external command”

Just like healthcare…there are very few cases where replacing a societal motivation with a profit motivation results in better service or lower costs.

It’s all a joke

There’s a saying…“Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in fruit salad.”

Meanwhile, LLMs are telling us to put glue on pizza so the cheese sticks. Even if the technology could eventually deliver on the promise, by the time we get there, nobody intelligent will trust it because the tech bros are, again, throwing half-baked garbage out into the world to try and be first to market.

Nothing. It’s a pretty fantasy. Best I think we can hope for is a few monopolies busted up so some little guys can break into the market. That’ll buy us about 20 years until those little guys have become the new Googles and Microsofts and Apples, and then we start over. We need to entirely rewrite how we do antitrust assessments to account for both vertical and horizontal monopolistic behaviors (a vertical monopoly is a company that controls the entire supply chain where a horizontal one controls the market and customer base. Historically, the US has been more concerned with horizontal monopolies.) It’d be great if we could come up with a better measure of consumer choice that we currently use. If you have the choice between 2 ISPs but they both charge the same amount for the same service, you don’t really have a choice there…at least not a meaningful one.

“Among other restrictions, US federal law controls the export of strong cryptographic materials, which are classified as a munition. Under these restrictions, the Fedora Project cannot export or provide Fedora software to any forbidden entity, including through the FreeMedia program”

You should let Fedora know that.

Let that be a lesson to all the homeless people… make sure you go to your doctor regularly… your health is important!

It’s not necessarily about feeling defensive. It’s about trying to stay grounded. I’ve lived in rentals before, but I don’t now, so my experience may not match the experience of renting today. There’s nothing wrong with asking others for input about your own place in society or how you can be better.

We own 3 rental properties. 1 we bought from my wife’s grandpa because he was about to sell it to one of those “we buy houses scams” and we’re currently renting it out for about 60% the rent on comparable properties…tenets have been great except for a few months several years ago when dude got hurt and couldn’t work. We worked with them through that, and they haven’t been late since or caused any damage. The other 2 are friends/family that couldn’t afford a place on their own, so we bought it, and they rented it. We generally lose money on those 2. I grew up poor, and we had to move every year or two when we got evicted or when we were actually doing things right, but the landlord wasn’t paying the bank.

There’s a lot of scummy landlords out there, but there’s several of us who aren’t. We charge just enough to cover mortgage and maintenance. The payoff comes after we retire. We can sell the homes (hopefully to the tenets if they’re interested) or supplement our retirements.

They ARE in force for exports…including software.

I agree that home prices are unsustainable, and that’s not a good thing.

I don’t know that the increase in multigenerational housing is all bad, either. It does help with housing supply, which should lead to lower prices and less interest in corporate ownership. It’s also a way to increase housing density without changing zoning laws, and I can’t imagine the NIMBYs are gonna have a good argument against allowing this. Multigenerational housing could have a positive impact on the loneliness epidemic…if we’re really lucky, it may even lead to a decrease in radicalization by decreasing social isolation.

I know there’s lots of people who can’t stay with family or wouldn’t want to. We definitely need to get housing supply under control and this isn’t a situation that I would want anyone forced into…but it being more normalized and less stigmatized is, I think, a good thing.

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think warning people they might expose themselves to csam meets the definition of “broke the internet”. I bet if you replace “girl” with “woman” you’ll get the expected results.

Rathalos nutz lol gottem
