Its the magic of multi-metric based DDOS/exploit/whatever protection. For my full profile the login attempt with Firefox as a user agent apparently pushed it over the edge.

Just today Ryanair wouldnt let me in on Firefox. 403 with a cloudflare error. But on chrome it went through without a hitch.

Yea, fair point. Maybe there just isn't a good analogy for a more than 40 year old NPP. Maybe an old NPP is just an old NPP.

I think a better analogy would be an old gas boiler. Worst case for a car is that you break down on the side of the road (or I guess the brake lines give out). Worst case for an old unmaintained gas boiler is that your house explodes. I wou

I mean, you might make a good point, but this is just very (unnecessarily) abrasive. > autistic geniuses for other autistic geniuses, they were intuitive and consistent to high IQ people, people who think quickly and structured and hiera

No. That's not at all what I'm saying. I am saying that a fixed CSV file will open differently depending on the program you open it with. Don't even need to transfer it. Opening a csv in pandas can be different than opening w

Yeah I dunno bud, I've watched a few watch repair videos on youtube and have seen macro photography which other people did. Sure there are pocket watches where the movement is visible from the front (you'd still likely service the

Without the last point with the watch glass it is also easier to imagine for me. Still, you'd have to be selective. Do you want it to actually look like macro photography (neither of the generated images do)? Then you can't have i

Can we talk about how jarring the announcement video is? AI generated voice over, likely AI generated script (You see, this model isn't just generating images, it's thinking!). From what it looks like only the editing has some hum

If you get an .xls which doesn't have very esoteric functions, I expect it to open about the same way in any Excel program and any other office suite. With CSV I do not have that expectation. I know that for some random user-submitted

I would kind of disagree. We are talking here in the context of scientific datasets. Of course ETL plays a part here. However here it is really more the interplay of Excel with CSV which is often outputted by scientific instruments or scien

by jcattle 6mo ago
Completely agree. If CSVs stay read only and are not user-submitted but computer generated they can be okay at best. Anything else? Nope nope nope!

Just a thought: This data engineering can only really occur in sciences with a significant "moat". Expensive tools, expensive test setups, live, gene-altered animals, etc. In fields such as deep learning or other more digital fiel

Yes, immediately thought the same. CSV alone is a footgun and a half on any computer which doesn't have . as the decimal separator. Let alone column sorting and joining of data.

Interesting thought. PCBWay and JLCPCB sponsoring channels to show use-cases of their capability, thus growing their market. Would be similar to the distributer/producer of a food item sponsoring channels to use their ingredient in rec

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for your comment. I'm usually very apprehensive against nuclear (still kind of am) but I think one of my main points against was that "base load" (i.e. inflexible generation) would be bad in cou

For countries that can reliably get to 99% hydro, save for some exceptional droughts, "build nuclear" is about the worst advice you can give them.

No need for absolute pitch. All you need is relative pitch. You play a note, compare to the note you heard, maybe even play them at the same time. And then change the note till you find the right one.

Also, you usually have context for the file. Like "Hey, can you send me this blueberry crumble recipe?". I do this quite frequently. I know which person knows, I know I've asked them before and usually a quick keyword search

From your earlier comment, your curiosity was more about what happens after we run out. In your question you stated the running out as a given fact ("When" we run out, not "if"). If that was what you wanted to say I can&

I also don't think most people are here for unnecessary personal attacks. Flag and move on.
