Probably a poor choice of words, but with a bank I have strong assurances that my account will not be drained tomorrow without possibility of recourse. The government went above and beyond (generating moral hazard) in protecting SVB clients

Crypto aside, I have idly wondered how/where the mega rich keep their money. Is there a money manager effectively controlling a Schwab account with $1+ billion dollars? How do you minimize the blast radius to prevent internal/exte

What is your workflow where you use images in the terminal?

I feel like you are really under-selling that entire drama. It started with Casey pointing out some slow terminal behavior[0], to which he received unreasonable flack, including this choice quote, >I believe what you’re doing is describi

Good thing my employer has mandated RTO two days a week where I continue to have exclusively remote interactions with coworkers.

For example, this was accepted: SELECT 123abc; This would parse the same as SELECT 123 abc; SQL is just not fair.

I thought the real market also has circuit breakers in place. If the market falls X% too quickly, trading is halted for some amount of time.

Is the productivity mostly attributed to improved farming practices, better strains, or mechanization?

Not sure if it is effective, but supposedly cat urine naturally deters rodents. If you could secure some used cat litter, sprinkle it around your garden perimeter.

I keep toying with the idea of using Godot to develop a local desktop application. Something like a poor man's Electron?

Relatedly, does anyone know if the security guarantees around distrobox have gotten any stronger? Last I looked, they promised nothing, but curious if there has been any movement there. I would love if there was a seamless way to launch a d

While I have no doubt that "military" grade drones have different capabilities (autonomous, target detection, payload size, etc), the technology is already here today. You can buy toy drones for $10s of dollars. There are instance

25,000kg (68kg/day) is a lot for a human to consume, that was just the scale given in the article. Drop it by 2 orders of magnitude (10mx10m) and you are looking at 250kg /year. Which sounds like a reasonable amount both for a lar

Not a farmer but, I think potato yields are such that is achievable if you were dedicated to the task. According to[0], a hectare (100m x 100m) should yield 25,000kg in a year. That's a whole heck of a lot of potatoes. [0] https:&#x2F

Apparently 55% of suicides are by firearms, 29% by hanging/suffocation, so guns do represent the majority[0]. [0] https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2022.9550...

Given suicide is relatively rare, I am wondering if this might be an artifact of low absolute population?

Could do what the FastAPI project decided to do - close all issues and open them as "Discussions". Low open issue count and hard to have a sense on what is/not working.

That seems like a pretty significant limitation. Bulk entity matching is an art form outside of the scope of many. To enable meaningful comparisons, as many identifiers as possible need to be included.

Nobody wants to assume they cannot get out of the mess. At some point, someone has to make the tough call to sign a check to make the problem disappear.
