I'm not familiar enough with either him or culture war dynamics to know what you mean by this.

It was ultimately a mundane bug, but the amounts taken that were able to slip past are the real lede. > casino manager Nicholas Weeks explained that it is possible to insert two receipts into TICO machines. That was a feature, not a bug,

Yes, but just for you.

They made that change a while ago. When I first logged in and saw it, so began the illustrious Taco Bell food service career of Frank Offerman, known to his friends as "F. Off".

This is a fantastic project. Thank you for releasing it! Do you have a plan to expand with new features and are you looking for contribution? Will the database be updated automatically?

This is a satire account, if the recent tweets and inclusion of TC didn't tip it already.

It's not illegal to play games that you already purchased and own. Piracy is just a convenient scapegoat to hobble emulation.

The title could stand to be de-corporatized. Sony laid off 8% globally or about 900 people.

The most bizarre thing is that this is a known issue that folks have asked them for ways to mitigate, to no avail. The reddit thread even links to an extremely weird dialogue where Netlify's response boils down to, "if you're

I would have appreciated some more details on the benchmark. SQLite has notoriously slow writes in the default journal mode, but proper configuration and WAL/WAL2 mode[0] should be a starting point for any comparison. It's the fir

It's from an Ursula K. LeGuin short story, "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas". You can read it here: https://shsdavisapes.pbworks.com/f/Omelas.pdf It has a wiki article here: https://en.wiki

I drive a recent model year Chevy Bolt where I paid a total price within that 14-20k range. I don't find myself worried about cut corners. The safety profile is fine. The quality is fine. It's an EV that does everything I want: re

It's possible that most were made out of common materials. Only those made of something sufficiently resilient survived for us to find.

I would love it if you could share the RS archives, or at least get them in the hands of something like the Internet Archive. I also collect old cache dumps and RSPS repos but I've never seen a high quality archive.

It's a time investment for everyone involved to sift through enough cruft for these classics to surface. Generating orders of magnitude more of increasingly plausible cruft means that the human arbiters can spend a much greater time in

Exactly what an already exploitative labor market needs: paid interviews! I can't see a single way this could go wrong.

Even that stunt might not be enough for a sufficiently evil shill, e.g. Thomas Midgley Jr. He famously did a similar move at a press conference for tetraethyllead (TEL), where he washed his hands in the stuff to prove its safety: > On Oc

Yes, and it amounts to a puff piece for GCloud. "We don't think we're as far behind as everyone else does" is not a compelling argument. Google is only too happy to believe Gartner rankings when it's in their favor

This doesn't come close to the actual market share you'll find in the likes of Gartner or others. The cloud landscape has long been AWS, Azure, and GCloud as a distant third.

Yes, a lot of words that amount to the sophistry of the "gender critical" (TERFistry?) and a status report on their bigoted agenda. The author clearly states that they hate that the Biden administration made it illegal to discrimi

What a snivelling, condescending attitude toward others. Of course people are able to say no and cancel, it just doesn't work. That's the whole point of this thread! The appeal of sending a letter isn't to avoid human contact

Zelle does not actually guarantee that your payments will go on the fast path. If you send a payment after-hours or to a new recipient that scores too high on some opaque fraud metric, it will be sent like a normal ACH with a few business d

The "TTS Output" and "Audio on device" sections make it seem like there is no spoken output, only status beeps. A former Mycroft dev, Michael Hansen[1], is still building several year-of-the-voice projects after he was l

Can you explain where "tbgs genTargetPercentage" comes from? Googling it just brings up your own comment.

More likely is that it was mentioned in a recent front-page article about comparing specialty Linux distros: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34837219

Very disappointing to see. I knew something was up since Mike Hansen, the engineer maintaining their Mimic3 offline TTS model, mentioned being let go in the open GitHub issues. https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3 Mike
