Or a way to take money from green investment funds: you're never finished, but you're always only two years away. Both directly from governments and from mandates on the oil compan…

Yeah, you're right. Sorry. I forgot it was several kilograms of shavings. So not just a poorly assembled engine.

The comment section is funny. The first 3-4 comments complain about the screenshot showing a column break, failing to notice it's from the suspected 1959 origin paper. I can't tell…

It might be referring to job role rather than "age." A Staff Engineer is supposed to be inspiring (both up and down,) so doing quick tests fits the bill, and that's something LLMs …

Putting it your way, I'm saying it might break short-term, but long-term it would be fine.

I reject that claim as-is. In what situations would it break? Standards evolve. Changes to cookies, iframes, newly required HTTP headers all "broke" the web. Not to mention Flash d…

Why isn't it better to redefine insertBefore of an already inserted element to being state-preserving? If I want to kill state, I can do a remove first.

Part of DEI at Google is to engage with universities to understand why some prefer not to study STEM/PR/whatnot. Shutting it down at Google will also affect the education pipeline.…

> makes me think we are in a war Dr Pippa Malmgren (political advisor) also pushes the idea that WW3 is on-going, and it will look nothing like WW2. She appears on podcasts once in…

I'm in the business of data collection, to some extent: building a support system for residential solar panel installations. There's a bunch of data needed for simulations, purchas…

Isn't this about the funds, rather than using Vanguard as a broker? Can't you buy Vanguard funds while on Fidelity, or vice versa?

Hmm. $13M is three minutes of additional US money printing. https://budget.house.gov/press-release/us-national-debt-surp...

"Auto" usually means "self," so this would be a coup coming from already elected officials.

I once asked a Canadian if she identifies as American. She did not, in 2014. As a European, I've unfortunately only had the chance to ask that question once. Would love to hear oth…

For commit messages, the world seems full of bad commit messages, and commit hygiene. Does this do anything to help improve that? What I really want is a bot that groups my changes…

There was a study published in 2022 suggesting that there's a link between Epstein-Barr and Multiple Sclerosis (where the immune system attacks the neuron insulation layer), and th…

> Components often still use 0.1 inch pin spacing. This changed with IC SMD packages. It's now mostly even 100-micrometers. SMD passives seem to be in a state of limbo, but mostly …

This is the Italian data protection authority acting on a report from an Italian consumer group. The EU doesn't seem involved in this particular inquiry.

Hopefully. If we're talking about the Chinese state, I'd say it's viable. Perhaps not breaking AES 256 outright, but screwed up implementations of cryptography. And perhaps even ba…

It could also be a distraction from them cutting and inserting their equipment somewhere else along the line. Dunno how detailed the monitoring is of these cables, but visibly cutt…
