If people didn't allow macros in Excel, stayed in read-only mode in Word and only opened sandboxed PDFs (convert to images in sandbox, OCR result, stitch back together), we would see a sharp decline in successful breaches. But that wou

Interesting! Agurk has a point as well. All I know and was saying that in my field (engineering thermodynamics... in some sense the field on this topic), people feel very strongly about "compressor -> compressible fluid" and

> What we call a turbocharger today has two turbines in it - one that is spun by the exhaust gasses and a second one that compresses the incoming air. These two turbines are directly connected. That's incorrect, a turbocharger has

Exactly, but GP's > "turbine supercharger", whether driven by the crankshaft or by the exhaust. made it sound like there's "crankshaft-driven turbine superchargers", which I stumbled over.

So when you have such a turbine supercharger driven by the crankshaft, what does the turbine do at all?

Ah damn, woops. How undo?

Exactly. That is also why claiming to only do "SOOC JPG" is ill-informed. People claiming it don't understand the process: to even produce a JPG, there has to be a process of interpretation already taking place. When I volu

Is that number accurate? If so, I think it's wild (no pun intended) that humankind knows the exact number of animals of that species, globally.

I've been extremely happy with the TeX Gyre family. Its Pagella font comes with a math sibling and both together cover a wide range of symbols at high quality.

Wait, a 4 times markup for having Windows installed? That doesn't compute.

Perhaps they paid for it and it's a sunken cost fallacy.

How did you randomly dig that up? That's a somewhat hidden entry.

Yeah, but I moved out of Germany for other reasons.

No, setting up ingress did. Couldn't get reverse-proxying to work.

Are you having a bad day? I am talking about a homelab , a single server at home, for home use. It's much safer now, with Docker compose, because I understand it and I wrote the core exposed part's configuration, the Caddyfil

Mind sharing a bit more on your home setup? Asking because I never saw the point in multiple container replicas for simple self-hosted stuff. One container each has served me well so far [0] (Nextcloud, Bitwarden, GitLab), and if they crash

A friend of mine is a contributor to k8s itself, and of course, this all comes incredibly easy to them. Following their recommendation, I gave it a shot for my single-person, single-node (!) homelab, all without using MicroK8s, k3s or simil

Yeah this has me confused as well, why is nobody talking about that here? In Python, it's literally just a line of text, an instruction to import something. If that thing doesn't exist, too bad. The user is responsible for supplyi

`ipython -i <script>` also works similarly for debugging, by having the powerful interpreter open after running the script, without the jupyter overhead.

Don't know about large scales, but just today I threw together a script using selenium, imported pandas to mangle the scraped data and quickly exported to json. For quick and dirty, possibly one-off jobs like that, Python is a great ch

I'm not sure there's much of an overlap. Incels are a rather small group, and I think most wallstreetbets users are surprisingly... normal. You can't bet on stocks if you're poor. So you'll have lots of mid/lat
