This is just ensuring that companies are forced to blacklist Chrome if they want their secrets to stay secret. It's already happened at my partners workplace (power industry, federal regulations on security) - hilariously, all google cloud services are blocked, but Bing is fine (w/ automatic ChatGPT integration).
It will be very interesting to see how companies handle this type of practice in the long run.
My dishes fucking sparkle, and that’s because I rinse them clean.
This is how I can tell you live in an area that doesn't have hard water. Water spots all over my dishes, even though I rinse them... sometimes because I rinse them.
All of my lab's data is available on public GitHub repos. My Chinese student doesn't have a leg up on anyone with an internet connection. It's insane to discriminate like that. I can sort of see issues with DoD funded work, but basic science?
A good chunk of the Midwest would be wiped out if the dams along the Missouri failed in sequence. There's a ridiculous amount of water there.
NIST has abandoned them
Would that my IT department had gotten the memo. They think NIST is god-tier, even when our own CS department is like... yeah, no. And personally, having worked with NIST researchers in fields that aren't IT policy, I wonder how good their IT policy docs really are. The whole organization is bureaucracy getting in the way of good science and common sense.
What's wrong with programming socks?
Because that's not why many of us are on these meds. For me, they allow me to not burn the house down cooking dinner, and ensure that I still have enough executive function left after work to not lose it on my kids due to the chaos they cause in my house. I don't take the meds to be a productive worker bee, I take them so that I can be a decent mom and take care of myself and my family.
Care to explain for the uninitiated? I assume the code at the front and back are some sort of indicators to reverse the text?
Thank you so much!
I've never used vpn even in the US. Private trackers and encryption have been enough for me. Also, it seems like my ISP doesn't care. Some basic caution is sufficient to avoid consequences.
Yeah, that was an excellent way to frame reddit's business model for people who aren't familiar with the labor of modding and who probably also don't comment.
I mean, I believe that he is stupid, and yet, if you know you're stupid, you shouldn't put yourself in a position to endanger the whole freaking world with your stupidity. So I'm sorry, but even if it is true, he still deserves to be held accountable, because stupidity isn't an excuse.
Unfortunately, for some of us, caffeine calms us down enough that it puts us straight to sleep. I drink caffeine at night if I'm having trouble sleeping. I get the stimulant effect when I've already taken my meds - it definitely sharpens my focus then, but sans actual stimulants, it puts me to sleep better than Benadryl.
Anyone willing to copy it here for those with privacy browsers?
Start with the sl command, and you can do it now 😁
Not the person you replied to, but I definitely had emotional outbursts but was the top student in my class. I was diagnosed as ADHD in graduate school, at the age of 23. Meds were life-changing for me - I not only had classic ADHD, so I had study patterns to unlearn (studying with music + TV + snacks + distractions) but I also had Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria - basically, I would hyper-focus on any perceived critical comment, rejection, slight, etc. I would contemplate whether I could ever show up in class again after a side comment from a teacher. It took so long to unlearn that (and some antianxiety meds as well). If your kid actually has ADHD, the best thing you can do for them is have them work with a therapist to learn coping skills and the proper way to do things. Meds may enter the picture eventually, but a therapist that works with ADHD and autistic people primarily will be the most helpful. Little things - fidget toys that help you pay attention to auditory stimuli, weighted lap blankets to work at your desk, etc. help so much sometimes, and they're relatively simple fixes, but if you don't know to look for the issue, you don't find a solution.
My opinion is fairly similar as an ADHDer. Hard enough to navigate the information I need on the web without getting lost, adding ads as well just makes it impossible and overstimulating.
And, in a rural, agrarian society, not educated or up to date on recent events enough to vote in an informed way. Paternalistic, sure, but not completely unreasonable given the era.
Ah ok, I missed the joke, but then, both my husband and I have binary socks, and I have GitHub socks as well, so... I am the joke, I guess? :)
I miss the /r/legaladvice drama and the fun on /r/bestoflegaladvice. That was my go-to "take a break and feel better about my life" sub where I would also learn things occasionally.
shit, guess I am eastern European despite never having left North America. My ISP just doesn't give a shit.
Yeah. I can't stand myself on Adderall or Ritalin - only dextroamphetamine works (and my lil brother is the same way). Caffeine is a sedative for me and does nothing for my dad - he can drink it at any time of the day and not have issues with sleeping or anxiety. There are definitely some metabolism issues that probably affect everyone but are particularly problematic for people who need stimulants of one form or another to function in society.
Benadryl is also a sedative for me. I've heard the caffeine thing is related to ADHD, but there is a ton of comorbidity in both directions. I probably meet some of the criteria for autism but haven't ever sought out a formal diagnosis, if only because I'm a stats professor, so my benchmark for "normal" is probably off by quite a ways :).
You can also curate the training data so that it's not problematic, but then you are biasing the model in other ways.
How on earth would that work with curriculum, planning, and actual teaching? I mean, fine for self guided computer school, but that's not the way kids actually learn.
I am not as familiar with the K-12 system, as it's changed a lot since I went through it, but my college students seem to have gone through school with no deadlines and the ability to resubmit any and all work any time they want, with the expectation that they'll get at least 50% just for turning in the assignment (even without their name, lol). So while year-round school with absences whenever might be compatible with this system, it's not particularly compatible with a functioning educational system where the class is being taught as a unit and are more or less learning the same things at the same time.
Additionally, it only works if teachers are completely exchangeable, and are also allowed to take time off whenever. What is likely to actually happen is that teachers will be paid the same but expected to be on call year-round (they're already expected to be on call 24/7 during the year in a lot of places) with no breaks and limited ability to take even sick leave. I'm fully in support of year-round school - I think it's a great idea for a lot of reasons - but I would caution that this type of implementation might be a bit harder to pull off.
IMO, at least, education happens when there's an actual interpersonal relationship between the teacher and the class, as well as between members of the class. This doesn't happen with the app-driven schooling my nephews are completing, where everyone is in a different place and they just follow lessons on a computer all day with teachers as facilitators and not actual instructors. It's why we see massive declines in student motivation - they've lost the relationships that tend to motivate us as humans, and that's a really hard thing to get back. My best classes have been when there are meaningful relationships between me and students, but also between students in the class, and we are all tackling a problem/topic together. There's something about shared suffering, you know?
Lemon seeds contain pectin, this is just a natural way to extract it. You can get the same effect from using pectin instead of gelatine in your jam.
The developer’s lawyer recommended that to sue reddit for destroying their livelihood they would need to demonstrate that they had tries with the new system and it wasn’t feasible in order to make their case stronger
Not sure how you get a cause of action for someone else's business decisions messing with your business, as a general rule. How would that work? I'm legitimately curious.
Yeah, coming from nuclear, all of the buzzwords make sense. Ofc, nuclear has decided blindly trusting windows for everything is cyber security so... 😂😭
Beehaw is only defederated from two instances iirc, so most of us are still able to see and interact with them.
I like to keep my work-related communities separate from my hobby-related communities. So Python/R/Data/Academia communities would be grouped under "work", and Gardening/Bread/Crochet/3D printing would be "hobbies", and then I might want a news group where I can see politics, local news, US news, world news, tech news, etc.
This would be really helpful to me for reducing distractions when I'm actually trying to get information about what's going on in the (real) world or in my specific corner of the programming world.

I'm jealous, but not jealous enough to live in OK.
Yep, it shares a lot of characteristics with fonts like Dyslexie, but without some of the more irritating (but helpful) gravity additions that throw off non-dyslexic readers and/or just look odd.
Columbia station load follows within a certain range set by nearby hydro. It can be done. The economics aren't even that bad, as fuel is one of the cheaper inputs to the reactor.
Not a subreddit, exactly, but I'm going to miss /u/poem_for_your_sprog and /u/Schnoodle_Doodle_Do. They made browsing so much better - I loved unexpectedly coming across one of their poems.
