"You wouldn't put on a tricorn hat, would you?"
I actually would, if I could find a nice one...
"...and leave your job to sail the seas?"
... That's an option? I didn't even consider-
"And you certainly wouldn't drink rum, and fire cannons, and carry a saber and tell silly parrot related puns."

Just in case anyone wants this converted to freedom units, 9.792 km is 744 spindles, and 2,6 km is about 95 shackles. HTH
(reminder don't take dietary advice from internet strangers)
Here's my fact based advice: on average, people that eat food sometimes live longer than people that do not eat food. You should sometimes eat food.
Ignore my advice at your own peril.
The problem when photon containment breaks like this is that we can never be 100% sure which photons were SUPPOSED to be there, and which ones leaked out. We'll need a dedicated team of particle physicists with very small tweazers to have any hope of sorting out this mess.
I think you're reading more into the statement than is there. Their studio was founded the same year this game released, with only one of the two founders described as a programmer. I'm pretty sure they mean "we" as in "the two guys that founded the studio".
Four thousand, five hundred twenty thirth. Trust me, I'm a numbers guy.
They discontinued the unlimited storage plan, so he can't still be paying for the unlimited storage. I'm not a big fan of Google's "I'm not seeing a return yet, better kill this product" approach, but it has been their MO for a long time. I think by now everyone doing business with them knows who they are.
The quote of him in the article doesn't sound like it's a complaint. I think only the headline is pushing that angle. 200 pounds sounds pretty reasonable, given it has to be worth his time to get to the recording, listen to any feedback/change requests, etc.
I completely understand why he has to be held without bond. You never know when he'll lure the next car of unwittinging cops to crash into his bar so he can pick a fight with them.
Judges do not deserve absolute immunity. This is such a violation of so many of his rights the judge should be doing time.
Don't be evil.
Just do it.
Make, your dreams, come true.

For everything else, there's Mastercard.
I've known a lot of math people, and /on average/ I think they're more capable of programming useful code than the other college graduate groups I've spent a lot of time working with (psychology, economics, physics) /on average/.
That said, the best mathematicians I've known were mostly rubbish at real programming, and the best programmers I've known have come out of computer engineering or computer science.
If you need a correct, but otherwise useless implementation, a mathematician is a pretty good bet. If you need performance, readability, documentation, I'd look elsewhere most of the time.
That estimate is based on assuming that the ratio of matter to light output is the same between galaxies 10 billion years apart in age. The high light output of these young galaxies could also be supermassive stars that burn out very quickly, larger stars typically forming faster than smaller stars, or many other things.
Blindly assuming a linear relationship between two things, then extrapolating is how you get the Windows loading bar circa 2000.
Separately, but just as big a potential issue, the data itself may be incorrect. Previous galaxies measured at extreme redshift values were remeasured, and found to have less extreme values. This can be as simple as there aren't that many photons from these galaxies reaching us, so a short measurement period might not be enough to get an accurate picture.
These are 6th graders. There's no "top" competition for 6th graders at all, which is why this is a region specific league, and most of the sports are divided into boys and girls divisions at those ages.

You'll notice that unlike many broke guys here, my card is not expired already, the luhn checksum is correct, and the issuer identification number... will probably exist in the future.
... RAID SHADOW LEGENDS. RAID Shady Legions is the new exciting RPG PVP for NPC that you've all been waiting for. It's got last generation graphics, an "immersive" "story", and integrated mobile upsell offerings unlike some other things on the market.
I've been playing PAID Shadow Legends ever since they sent me $20,000, and now I have an unmitigated addiction to laxatives, so I can escape from my wife and kids on the porcelain gaming throne, and spend time with my favorite hero, WHICHEVER ONE WAS JUST ADDED THIS WEEK. Get that limited time premium champion with the link in my bio.
I ran out of crtcs, but I wanted another monitor. I widened a virtual display, and drew the left portion of it on one monitor, like regular. Then I had a crown job that would copy chunks of it into the frame buffer of a USB to DVI-d adapter. It could do 5 fps redrawing the whole screen, but I chose things to put there where it wouldn't matter too much. The only painful thing was arranging the windows on that monitor, with the mouse updating very infrequently, and routinely being drawn 2 or more places in the frame buffer.
If you're in the US, run for Congress, win, reform the medicaid backed doctor residency program, with the aim of opening it up so many more people can become doctors. Then watch as the new supply brings down salaries, and eventually gets lazy/ineffective doctors fired. Revenge is a dish best served nation wide, as they say.
I'm a Senior Computer Software Developer Programming Engineer, or SCSDPE (which is pronounced Skuzz-Deep), and I will be irreparably miffed if you get it wrong.
For your convenience, I also accept "that guy that sits weirdly close to the water fountain", "hey", and "paid keyboard user".
Which arrow? Nothing is in a red circle, so I can't tell what this image is about.
This is easily resolved. Just start referring to the scandal involving the Watergate hotel as "Watergategate". Then the contradiction is resolved with only one change.
Modern operating systems have made it take very little knowledge to connect to WiFi and browse the internet. If you want to use your computer for more than that, it can still take a longer learning process. I download 3D models for printing, and wanted an image for each model so I could find things more easily. In Linux, I can make such images with only about a hundred characters in the terminal. In Windows, I would either need to learn powershell, or make an image from each file by hand.
The way I understand "learning Linux" these days is reimagining what a computer can do for you to include the rich powers of open source software, so that when you have a problem that computers are very good at, you recognize that there's an obvious solution on Linux that Windows doesn't have.
What we have done is invented massive, automatic, no holds barred pattern recognition machines. LLMs use detected patterns in text to respond to questions. Image recognition is pattern recognition, with some of those patterns named things (like "cat", or "book"). Image generation is a little different, but basically just flips the image recognition on its head, and edits images to look more like the patterns that it was taught to recognize.
This can all do some cool stuff. There are some very helpful outcomes. It's also (automatically, ruthlessly, and unknowingly) internalizing biases, preferences, attitudes and behaviors from the billion plus humans on the internet, and perpetuating them in all sorts of ways, some of which we don't even know to look for.
This makes its potential applications in medicine rather terrifying. Do thousands of doctors all think women are lying about their symptoms? Well, now your AI does too. Do thousands of doctors suggest more expensive treatments for some groups, and less expensive for others? AI can find that pattern.
This is also true in law (I know there's supposed to be no systemic bias in our court systems, but AI can find those patterns, too), engineering (any guesses how human engineers change their safety practices based on the area a bridge or dam will be installed in? AI will find out for us), etc, etc.
The thing that makes AI bad for some use cases is that it never knows which patterns it is supposed to find, and which ones it isn't supposed to find. Until we have better tools to tell it not to notice some of these things, and to scrub away a lot of the randomness that's left behind inside popular models, there's severe constraints on what it should be doing.

"Of course you can't walk up an elevator. Sometimes you can manually open the doors, but... Wait, what's this in the comments?"
This is public housing, meaning the funding is coming from the government. They'll be lucky if it gets as far as quarter built.
There's a crucial distinction between someone that wants to have sex, but cannot, and someone that chooses to identify as that. To really become an "incel" in the negative sense, you lose the desire to have sex because being denied sexual contact by others is part of your identity now.
People that merely don't find others that are sexually interested in them can do things to help themselves, learn better grooming habits, dress nicer, practice approaching and talking to people, etc. Someone that has adopted the identity of "incel" can only help themselves by changing their perception away from the toxic void they found.
This and systemctl cat $unit are my favorites.
This is a deeply unfair comparison. There are bricks of different (somewhat incompatible) sizes between regions, and sometimes in the same region. While a brick is not "region locked" per se, they are only really a suitable material when replacements of the same size and general color are easily available.
Secondly, if your brick stops working, it is no longer useful as a brick, and has to be used as fill material, or disposed of. Indeed, broken bricks are pretty common, sometimes appearing in large piles.
Thirdly, the games you can play with a brick provide many hours of enjoyment, which is a major selling point of bricks that you've left out of the discussion.
Not needing a wire to go to the probe part of it is pretty handy. Likewise, a washing machine that can send a push notification to my phone for "Hey, laundry is done." sounds slightly useful to me as a forgetful person.
I've worked at a big tech company. I can all but guarantee there are some firey memes posted amongst colleagues about this situation. Unfortunately, they're unlikely to ever become public.
If you can prompt it, "Write a book about Harry Potter" and get a book about a boy wizard back, that's almost certainly legally wrong. If you prompt it with 90% of an article, and it writes a pretty similar final 10%... not so much. Until full conversations are available, I don't really trust either of these parties, especially in the context of a lawsuit.
Johns Hopkins University is named after the guy that funded it at the beginning, Johns Hopkins. He was named after his grandfather, Johns Hopkins, whose first name was his mother's last name.
So Johns Hopkins has two last names, but one of them is a first name.
You should take a 48 minute break for every 12 minutes of work. It's called the 80-20 rule.
Drivers rushing to make the deadline lead to some deaths, which was followed by lawsuits. I don't remember if there was a huge payment from one of those, but I know a bunch of pizza places have chosen not to risk it.
I agree. The tipping threat on a TV is almost exclusively front to back, not side to side. Putting the support legs closer to the middle, but still spaced a third of the width of the TV should be totally adequate. I suspect it's an aesthetics thing now.
The other 2 thirds of the Earth's surface, obviously. As the greatest song in history says: "...We got no troubles - Life is the bubbles - Under the sea..."
As the President and CEO of a fortune 500, and a neurosurgeon that does rocket surgery as a side project, there are many people relying on me to be an upstanding member of the community at all times.
In reality, most of the ways I misrepresent myself are to obscure my identity, and mostly it's by leaving things out.
In my mind, the line is that an engineer is someone that can commit a crime by doing their job incompetently. If the only things at risk are your job and your pride, that's a different thing.
"I program all day, so there's a lot of trial and error. My friend is a negligent civil engineer, so there's a lot of error and trial."
Inflation is wild. Just a few decades ago, you could get this kind of thing for just an arm and a leg.
Ok, so I think the timeline is, he signed up for an unlimited storage plan. Over several years, he uploaded 233TB of video to Google's storage. They discontinued the unlimited storage plan he was using, and that plan ended May 11th. They gave him a "60 day grace period" ending on July 10th, after which his accouny was converted to a read only mode.
He figured the data was safe, and continued using the storage he now isn't really paying for from July 10th until December 12th. On December 12th, Google tells him they're going to delete his account in a week, which isn't enough time to retrieve his data... because he didn't do anything during the period before his plan ended, didn't do anything during the grace period, and hasn't done anything since the grace period ended.
I get that they should have given him more than a week of warning before moving to delete, but I'm not exactly sure what he was expecting. Storing files is an ongoing expense, and he's not paying that cost anymore.
