Early days is one thing, but if this is the entirety of the code

# WIP

Then there isn’t much to have a discussion about…

With respect to data, there does seem to be a damning amount of it in the CFPB dataset they analyzed for the article. The fact that approvals were this disproportionate even when accounting for “income, debt-to-income ratio, property value, downpayment percentage, and neighborhood characteristics” is alarming. Specifically with respect to income, approval for lowest-quartile whites exceeded that of highest quartile blacks. Yes, credit score was not available in the dataset, but we know it doesn’t fully explain the gap because of its frequency as a cited reason for denial, and reliance on credit doesn’t really do much to dig NFCU out of this hole IMO.

I’m tempted to agree with the authors assessment that the use of automated tools by the underwriters is a likely contributor. Use a tool trained on historically racist data and practices, and that’s what you’ll get more of.

Other people: Hmm I only use a few commands on this thing, I wonder if I can just refer to them by number or something?

You: Googling African tongue-snapping languages

Something that’s weirdly stuck with me (even though he’s not my favorite philosopher) is Kant’s Categorical Imperative which says, briefly, do only the things that would still be okay if everyone did them.

I think it fills in a nice gap left by the golden rule (treat others as you’d like to be treated) in drawing attention to how some things which don’t seem to do much harm would be a major problem if broadly adopted.

TL;DR: Magnets. China makes almost all of them so any time we see something that might replace rare earth metals we get excited. In this case because a group made improvements to our ability to synthesize tetrataenite, an iron-nickel alloy, by adding phosphorus.

The IRS plans to triple the audit rates on large corporations with assets of more than $250 million. Audit rates for these companies will rise to 22.6% in tax year 2026 from  8.8% in 2019.

Large partnerships with assets of more than $10 million will see their audit rates increase 10-fold, rising to 1% in tax year 2026 from 0.1% in 2019.

Wealthy individuals with total positive income of more than $10 million will see their audit rates rise 50% to 16.5% from 11% in 2019.

"There is no new wave of audits coming from middle- and low-income [individuals], coming from mom and pops. That's not in our plans," Werfel said.

Throughout the trial, the Grenons represented themselves but did not speak in their defense, seemingly as a form of protest. They had court-appointed defense attorneys who stood by during the trial, but the Grenons did not allow them to speak for them.

In July, it took a Miami jury just 30 minutes to return the guilty verdicts for the four men, according to the Miami Herald.

The Herald reported that the men broke their silence during sentencing last week to plead for mercy and protest their prison terms.

Didn’t work out like ya hoped, huh?

While David Bowie was not non-binary, he was an icon of androgyny and I’ve found that to sometimes be a good place to start discussions about the vast in-between spaces. It also helps keep the conversation from starting with “kids these days” because Bowie has been fly as fuck since way back when.

So, only about a decade until reaching feature parity with something like lazygit?

A way that I find helpful to answer questions like this is to look backwards when taking multiple doses:

“If I were to take another pill now, would I have had no more than 1-2 pills in the last 4 hours?”

The pharmacokinetic questions are outside the scope of what the patient should be trying to figure out when taking a drug. That was the responsibility of the drug label writer and (if applicable) the prescribing physician and/or pharmacist. Yours is to faithfully follow the instructions, not make assumptions about drug residence time or loading doses.

The K5 has been in some sticky situations in other cities. One was toppled and slathered in barbecue sauce in San Francisco…

I don’t know why but this is just a hilarious failure state for a giant robot.

Yes, join us!

Why do people keep asking language models to do math?

I just bought and restored some older but well-built deck furniture. Each piece had a badge on it with a company name and URL, but the site is long gone. Popped it into the wayback machine and instantly learned all about the furniture, its maker, and how much it cost back in the day, which was really neat.

He regularly releases songs with Scary Pockets

“Well, actually, it’s spelled Miss Brain F-A-R-T” 😂

Congrats tho!

The README lacks a description of why I would choose this over rm. The name makes me think it might replace shred but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Brb strapping in for the wildest 2 years, 11 months of my life.

Thanks for posting this though. Remember folks, even the super safe drugs are only safe for their intended purpose and dose.

So, I actually had this because of my humidifier. I was using an ultrasonic humidifier with tap water - I know distilled is recommended, but with how dry it is here, that would mean an insane amount of bottled water. But I noticed a film of white dust appearing around the room from the dispersed salts and whatnot. Turning off the humidifier (and later replacing it with an evaporative style) cleared up my daily stuffiness instantly.

Because this viewpoint exists I died to crime.

Thanks a lot

Holy shit why did this man spend so much time defending these despicable positions?

…together with the dishonest law that labels sex with adolescents as “rape” even if they are willing, we cannot tell from this article…

These are dangerous and disgusting views.

Going by what I use the most: Firefox, git, less, tailscale, midnight commander

I always thought it was weird to model a game avatar after myself. I always roll the “random character” button (shout-out Monster Factory) when it’s available, keeps things simple.

You joke but comic mono is startlingly easy to look at…

You had it until the end. Glass has an amorphous structure, not crystalline, but is still very much a solid.

This change would also be bad for anything that scans for keywords, which includes most applicant tracking software.

Interesting project but this write-up has a bizarre focus on number of lines of code, which doesn’t appear to differ substantially between the two approaches.

So far, we haven’t been able to trace back to the initial compromise vector in the campaigns seen in our telemetry.

They hypothesize that attaching a compromised USB drive to an air gapped system is to blame. That seems to be a well known vector at this point. Does it matter much what tool is used to copy data once it’s in?

YMMV. I know it’s a good step down for some folks, especially as you can get carts with decreasing levels of nicotine. But in my case, the accessibility of vaping (which I did inside and in smaller more frequent doses, unlike how I smoked) set me back a bit and I felt like I started quitting all over again.

I think Bastion is a perfect fit for this

This was my favorite detail of the master plan:

Joshua Hunsucker had told two coworkers that if he killed someone he would do so using eyedrops, according to court documents.

Hey watch it, I’m 70% slime!

I once spent a few days sketching out what sort of video game I would make, if I ever did. More as an exercise for myself (a developer nowhere near the game industry) rather than an actual plan. At the end of it, I had a sci fi setting with a handful of roguelike and deckbuilder elements. Shortly after, I discovered Breachway, and it felt like someone had been reading my mind. I love that they have a proper demo, and now I’m really excited to see the game approach its release!

I’m going to try out Pizza Tower, my first new platformer in a long time

Yeah agreed. But I guess I’d rather do that than clean it off my walls (and lungs apparently?). Definitely recommend getting a bigger one than you need, though, so you can run the fan lower and the media takes a little longer to get crusty.

Trine 2! It’s a side-scrolling action/puzzle platformer, and a rare game actually made for 3.

I’m really sensitive to light when I sleep. I’ve got blackout curtains, no annoying little lights on any devices, the usual. One of the advantages is that by having a smart light bulb set to gradually turn on alongside my alarm, it really wakes me the hell up. Maybe try incorporating a light to yours?

Me too! I am not a professional but audio support is such a point of friction for me that I’d love to see how others handle it when it’s critical to their work.

So on top of everything it’s a sudden pooplessness? Fascinating.
