I feel LaTeX relates to MS Word like OpenScad to FreeCad. The scripting makes making technical parts often much easier, and more maintainable. I for instance wanted to replace a metal rod in an antenna with a smaller diameter, and changing

In my experience, fail2ban does only help if there is a small number of IP addresses requests come from. I usually observed a trickle of requests from huge number of IP addresses, at most 1-2 request from each IP over the course of days. ta

It would be interesting to know why Oracle won. Did they offer more money ? Or is TikTok convinced that Oracle won't be able to do something decent with the acquisition ? Other than start fights with facebook etc over tiktok lookalike

Remember the USPS is rumored to have recently dismantled hundreds of sorting machines. Entirely possible that some old mail was jammed in there somehow. Also, cf. "Going Postal" by Terry Pratchett.

Didn't the new Hong Kong security law specifically include actions taken outside of HongKong ?

And I would guess you get fewer artifacts - the version linked in a sibling comment with just one end has a lot of factors and yet is not very accurate.

Well of course the thieves have a cost, too -- they need to eat, too. But they probably pay no taxes and employ cheap labor and can undercut the official recycler.

Haha. But yes, maybe, even if it's sad to see the US government at the level of a 6 year old. Well there's 45 days to lobby. Apple will be inconvenienced even by Americans with Chinese background and iphones. A large chunk of them

How is letting Apple running localized chat apps in China selling out our future democracy?

... because the current admin is not exactly in the habit of thinking ahead. I see no reason they intentionally want to hurt the goose laying golden eggs. I’d be happy to learn valid reasons why though.

It would be trivial for the admin to say that Apple only has to block wechat from the US app store, and trivial for Apple to implement it. There's little to gain from blocking wechat in china, so I don't think they will cut in the

That's one of the reason Atari/Amiga fans were so happy with their 68000 CPUs. It was so much simpler to program on.

Hope is not a strategy. AFAICT, both parties basically support stronger state control and more surveillance. It will be interesting to see how EU/China/Russia/USA spheres of influence will develop. With the pandemic, a lot of

that's a great DIY project for an esp8266 and a temperature probe. Could even be a kickstarter. Everyone with kids worries about them leaving a fridge or freezer open.

I just did a quick amazon search - there are many versions of these plugs, there may be one that works well with the pixel. I actually realized I can get usb-c / lightning covers as well, which is great as all my phones get lint in the

Nice idea! Some of the folks from the middle east came out very well. The posters are a nice touch. I would prefer high quality/resolution downloads of the faces to build my own gallery, however. BTW, would be nice to include a few mor

Reminds me of Germany in (I guess) the 80s, where police was sometimes checking diesel cars on whether owners had used (lower taxed) heating oil for their cars (which is technically tax evasion). It might still be a thing.

That's a fairly new development BTW, I believe 2005-2007. Before that, unbaptized "good" souls were collecting dust in limbo.

If Facebook were allowed to stuxnet the hell out of Apple/google/Twitter etc, who knows what would happen:) I’m not disparaging the nsa etc talent, but it’s very hard to arrive at fair comparisons in this area. The sec teams at fa

Agreed that working conditions are atrocious and have been for years. But getting new doctors domestically from scratch will take years, and the article argues that there’s just not enough time for that.

Reading the classics often make me feel we achieved very little improving our base instincts in the last 2000 years. Robert Harris has a number of pretty cool historical fiction books about Cicero (Imperium, Pompeii, Conspirata) that are a

It seems relatively easy to read known words, but almost impossible to read long, complicated ones (like typoglycemia). I can understand that learning to read with dyslexia is super frustrating... This is a great way to make people understa

All this is pretty hard. I recommend the rctestflight YouTube channel. Really useful if you want to build any robot for real.
